Manager Commentary (unaudited)

As of June 30, 2015

Dear Shareholders,

We would like to start by saying thank you for your interest in the Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. and the Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc. (the “Funds”). We appreciate the trust and confidence you have placed with us through your investment in the Funds.

The first half of 2015 played out largely as we suspected it might in our December 2014 letter, with global markets exhibiting elevated volatility as investors dealt with uncertainty over rates, geopolitical and growth concerns, specifically with regards to Greece and China, and the ongoing impact of falling or low commodity prices. However, despite these challenges, high yield bonds and leveraged loans were able to generate positive performance of +2.76%¹ and +2.83%², respectively, over the first half of the year, outperforming equities and a variety of other fixed income asset classes.

Both high yield bonds and leveraged loans have been able to post these strong relative returns despite experiencing quite divergent technical pictures. High yield bond issuance is running only slightly behind 2014, a year that saw the third highest such annual volume on record, while loan issuance volumes are down 36%³ on a gross basis versus 2014. High yield investors continued to pour money into the sector, seemingly shrugging off concerns about Greece and rates and focused on reaching for yield in a low default rate environment. This allowed high yield issuers to issue more debt than they did the year before yet still experience solid performance, even more impressively in light of the high yield market’s heavier exposure to oil and gas credits. The loan markets on the other hand, benefitted from the negative impact that Leveraged Lending Guidelines, issued by the Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in 2013 and 2014, had on the willingness of banks to underwrite certain types of loans. Though retail flows continued to be negative, collateralized loan obligations issuance continued at a strong pace, and combined with the limited amount of supply, created an environment ripe for loan prices to rise and spreads to compress via a wave of repricing to start the second quarter.

The benign default environment seen during 2014 continued during the first half of 2015, as the default rate by principal amount for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2015 was 1.9%³ for high yield bonds and 1.7%³ for leveraged loans. This compares to long term averages of 3.7%³ for high yield bonds and 3.4%³ for leveraged loans since 1998. Despite the overall trend of increased leverage and subpar economic growth over the last two to three years, high yield and loan borrowers continue to display credit metrics supportive of a continuation of the low-default rate environment revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for high yield companies increased 3.3%⁴ and 12.5%⁴, respectively, excluding energy-related issuers. Furthermore, combined with diminishing tail risks and expectations of a longer path to higher interest rates, it is reasonable to expect another 12 to 24 months of below average default rates, excluding energy.

However, the market will continue to face challenges, some familiar, some new. Familiar challenges include the ongoing uncertainties regarding Europe and China, the length and depth of the selloff in commodities and the uncertain reaction of financial markets when interest rates finally start to move. The “new” challenges, in our opinion, primarily relate to changing regulations and the future impact they will have on the markets. Will the banks choose to exit certain businesses entirely? Who will fill those gaps? How will this impact returns to investors? Though we have seen some of these issues start to emerge recently, they will surely play out over the long term, creating risks and opportunities for investors along the way.

We appreciate your interest and support in the Funds. If you have any questions about the Funds, please call 1-888-301-3838, or go to our website at www.agmfunds.com.

Sincerely,

Apollo Credit Management, LLC

^(a)  “Senior Loans” are senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade and investments with similar characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien priority and pay interest at rates that are determined periodically on the basis of a floating base lending rate plus a spread. Unless otherwise identified, all Senior Loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks and the certificate of deposit rate used by commercial lenders. The rates shown represent the weighted average rate at June 30, 2015. Senior Loans are generally not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and often contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.

Senior Loan assets may have additional unfunded loan commitments. As of June 30, 2015, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the following loan agreements:

Borrower	Unfunded Loan Commitments
Charger OpCo B.V. (Oak Tea, Inc.)*	$	3,740,601
LTS Buyer, LLC (Sidera Networks, Inc.)		1,912,192
Total Unfunded Loan Commitments	$	5,652,793

* The loan commitment for Charger OpCo B.V. (Oak Tea, Inc.) was subsequently funded on July 2, 2015.

^(b)  Fair Value Level 3 security. All remaining securities are categorized as Level 2.

^(c)  The interest rate on this Senior Loan is subject to a base rate plus 1 month or 3 month LIBOR, which at June 30, 2015 was 0.19% and 0.28%, respectively. As the interest rate is subject to a minimum LIBOR floor which was greater than the 1 month or 3 month LIBOR rate at June 30, 2015, the prevailing rate in effect at June 30, 2015 was the base rate plus the LIBOR floor, except as indicated.

^(d)  All or a portion of this Senior Loan position has not settled. Full contract rates do not take effect until settlement date, therefore, are subject to change.

^(e)  Fixed rate asset.

^(f)  Foreign issuer traded in U.S. dollars.

^(g)  Represents a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) security which may pay interest in additional principal amount.

^(h)  The issuer is in default of its payment obligation as of May 5, 2015, as such, income is no longer being accrued.

⁽ⁱ⁾  Securities exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. These securities may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2015, these securities amounted to $10,914,520, or 3.8% of net assets.

^(j)  Non income-producing asset.

^(k)  The Fund has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the credit facility (Note 8).

^(l)  The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $423,548,842. Cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes differs from book basis primarily due to the deferral of losses from wash sales. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments are as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation	$	5,092,702
Gross unrealized depreciation		(8,962,534)
Net unrealized depreciation	$	(3,869,832)

^(a)  “Senior Loans” are senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade and investments with similar characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien priority and pay interest at rates that are determined periodically on the basis of a floating base lending rate plus a spread. Unless otherwise identified, all Senior Loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are primarily the LIBOR and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks and the certificate of deposit rate used by commercial lenders. The rates shown represent the weighted average rate at June 30, 2015. Senior Loans are generally not registered under the 1933 Act and often contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.

Senior Loan assets may have additional unfunded loan commitments. As of June 30, 2015, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the following loan agreements:

	Unfunded Loan
Borrower	Commitments
Charger OpCo B.V. (Oak Tea, Inc.)*	$	3,740,601
LTS Buyer, LLC (Sidera Networks, Inc.)		1,912,192
Total Unfunded Loan Commitments	$	5,652,793

* The loan commitment for Charger OpCo B.V. (Oak Tea, Inc.) was subsequently funded on July 2, 2015.

^(b) Fair Value Level 3 security. All remaining securities are categorized as Level 2.

^(c)  The interest rate on this Senior Loan is subject to a base rate plus 1 month or 3 month LIBOR, which at June 30, 2015 was 0.19% and 0.28%, respectively. As the interest rate is subject to a minimum LIBOR floor which was greater than the 1 month or 3 month LIBOR rate at June 30, 2015, the prevailing rate in effect at June 30, 2015 was the base rate plus the LIBOR floor, except as indicated.

^(d)  All or a portion of this Senior Loan position has not settled. Full contract rates do not take effect until settlement date, therefore, are subject to change.

^(e)  Fixed rate asset.

^(f)  Foreign issuer traded in U.S. dollars.

^(g)  Represents a PIK security which may pay interest in additional principal amount.

^(h)  Securities exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. These securities may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2015, these securities amounted to $86,254,807, or 32.5% of net assets.

⁽ⁱ⁾  The issuer is in default of its payment obligation as of May 5, 2015, as such, income is no longer being accrued.

^(j)  Structured Products include CLOs. A CLO typically takes the form of a financing company (generally called a special purpose vehicle or “SPV”), created to reapportion the risk and return characteristics of a pool of assets. While the assets underlying CLOs are often Senior Loans or corporate notes and bonds, the assets may also include (i) subordinated loans; (ii) debt tranches of other CLOs; and (iii) equity securities incidental to investments in Senior Loans. The Fund may invest in lower tranches of CLOs, which typically experience a lower recovery, greater risk of loss or deferral or non-payment of interest than more senior tranches of the CLO. A key feature of the CLO structure is the prioritization of the cash flows from a pool of debt securities among the several classes of the CLO. The SPV is a company founded for the purpose of securitizing payment claims arising out of this asset pool. On this basis, marketable securities are issued by the SPV which, due to the diversification of the underlying risk, generally represent a lower level of risk than the original assets. The redemption of the securities issued by the SPV typically takes place at maturity out of the cash flow generated by the collected claims.

^(k)  Floating rate asset. The interest rate shown reflects the rate in effect at June 30, 2015.

^(l)  Non income-producing asset.

^(m)  The Fund has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the credit facility (Note 8).

⁽ⁿ⁾  The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $396,460,161. Cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes differs from book basis primarily due to the deferral of losses from wash sales. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments are as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation	$	5,287,819
Gross unrealized depreciation		(15,453,274)
Net unrealized depreciation	$	(10,165,455)

Note 1. Organization and Operations

Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. (“AFT”) and Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc. (“AIF”) (individually, a “Fund” or, together, the “Funds”) are corporations organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies. AFT and AIF commenced operations on February 23, 2011 and February 25, 2013, respectively. Prior to that, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and the sale and issuance of 5,236 shares of common stock in each Fund to Apollo Credit Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) at a price of $19.10 per share. The Adviser serves as the Funds’ investment adviser and is an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“AGM”). The Funds’ common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and trade under the symbols “AFT” and “AIF”, respectively.

Investment Objective

AFT’s investment objective is to seek current income and preservation of capital. AFT seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade (“Senior Loans”) and investments with similar characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien priority and pay interest at rates that are determined periodically on the basis of a floating base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks and the certificate of deposit rate used by commercial lenders. Senior Loans are typically made to U.S. and, to a limited extent, non-U.S. corporations, partnerships and other business entities (“Borrower(s)”) that operate in various industries and geographical regions. AFT seeks to generate current income and preservation of capital through a disciplined approach to credit selection and under normal market conditions will invest at least 80% of its managed assets in floating rate Senior Loans and investments with similar economic characteristics. This policy and AFT’s investment objective are not fundamental and may be changed by the board of directors of AFT with at least 60 days’ prior written notice provided to shareholders. Part of AFT’s investment objective is to seek preservation of capital. AFT’s ability to achieve capital preservation may be limited by its investment in credit instruments that have speculative characteristics. There can be no assurance that AFT will achieve its investment objective.

AIF’s primary investment objective is to seek current income with a secondary objective of preservation of capital. AIF seeks to achieve its investment objectives primarily by allocating its assets among different types of credit instruments based on absolute and relative value considerations and its analysis of the credit markets. This ability to dynamically allocate AIF’s assets may result in AIF’s portfolio becoming concentrated in a particular type of credit instrument (such as Senior Loans or high yield corporate bonds) and substantially less invested in other types of credit instruments. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of AIF’s managed assets will be invested in credit instruments and investments with similar economic characteristics. For purposes of this policy, “credit instruments” will include Senior Loans, subordinated loans, high yield corporate bonds, notes, bills, debentures, distressed securities, mezzanine securities, structured products (including, without limitation, collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and asset-backed securities), bank loans, corporate loans, convertible and preferred securities, government and municipal obligations, mortgage-backed securities, repurchase agreements, and other fixed-income instruments of a similar nature that may be represented by derivatives such as options, forwards, futures contracts or swap agreements. This policy and AIF’s investment objectives are not fundamental and may be changed by the board of directors of AIF (together with the board of directors of AFT, the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) with at least 60 days’ prior written notice provided to shareholders. AIF will seek to preserve capital to the extent consistent with its primary investment objective. AIF’s ability to achieve capital preservation may be limited by its investment in credit instruments that have speculative characteristics. There can be no assurance that AIF will achieve its investment objectives.

The Funds are classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act. As a result, each Fund can invest a greater portion of its assets in obligations of a single issuer than a “diversified” fund. Each Fund may therefore be more susceptible than a diversified fund to being adversely affected by any single corporate, economic, political or regulatory occurrence.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds are investment companies that follow the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies. The Funds’ financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.

Fund Valuation

Each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share will be determined daily generally as of 4:00 pm on each day that the NYSE is open for trading, or at other times as determined by the Board. The NAV of each Fund’s common shares is the total assets of the Fund (including all securities, cash and other assets) minus the sum of the Fund’s total liabilities (including accrued expenses, dividends payable, borrowings and the liquidation value of any preferred stock) divided by the total number of common shares of the Fund outstanding.

Security Valuation

The Funds value their investments primarily using the mean of the bid and ask prices provided by a nationally recognized security pricing service or broker. Senior Loans, corporate notes and bonds, preferred stock, warrants and structured products are priced based on valuations provided by an approved independent pricing service or broker, if available. If market or broker quotations are not available, or a price is not available from an independent pricing service or broker, or if the price provided by the independent pricing service or broker is believed to be unreliable, the security will be fair valued pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. In general, the fair value of a security is the amount that the Funds might reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the reporting date. Fair value procedures generally take into account any factors deemed relevant, which may include, among others, (i) the nature and pricing history of the security, (ii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the particular security, (iii) recent purchases or sales transactions for the particular security or similar securities and (iv) press releases and other information published about the issuer. In these cases, a Fund’s NAV will reflect the affected portfolio securities’ fair value as determined in the judgment of the Board or its designee instead of being determined by the market. Using a fair value pricing methodology to value securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent sale price and from the prices used by other investment companies to calculate their NAV. Determination of fair value is uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s valuation of a security will not differ from the amount that it realizes upon the sale of such security.

Fair Value Measurements

Each Fund has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. The levels of fair value inputs used to measure the Funds’ investments are characterized into a fair value hierarchy. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets to which the Funds have access at the date of measurement;

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, but are valued 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; and

Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In certain cases, investments classified within Level 3 may include securities for which the Funds have obtained indicative quotes from broker-dealers that do not necessarily represent prices the broker may be willing to trade on, as such quotes can be subject to material management judgment. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Funds’ own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

At the end of each reporting period, management evaluates the Level 2 and Level 3 assets, if any, for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from independent pricing services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market.

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value at June 30, 2015 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Transfers into and out of the levels are recognized at the value at the end of the period. Summaries of the Funds’ investments categorized in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2015 are as follows:

Investments were transferred into Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to a decrease in the availability of qualified observable inputs obtained to support the fair value of each investment as assessed by the Adviser. Transfers out of Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 were due to an increase in the availability of qualified observable inputs as assessed by the Adviser. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period shown. The net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) attributable to Level 3 investments still held at June 30, 2015 was $1,040,329 for AFT.

Total Fair Value		$78,061,937

^(a)  The Fund utilized a market comparable approach to fair value this security. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation model were total enterprise value and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) based on comparable multiples for a similar investment with similar risks. Significant increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

^(b)  The Fund utilized a discounted cash flow model to fair value this security. The significant unobservable input used in the valuation model was the discount rate, which was determined based on the market rates an investor would expect for a similar investment with similar risks. The discount rate was applied to present value the projected cash flows in the valuation model. Significant increases in the discount rate may significantly lower the fair value of an investment; conversely, significant decreases in the discount rate may significantly increase the fair value of an investment.

either of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

^(b)  The Fund utilized a discounted cash flow model to fair value this security. The significant unobservable input used in the valuation model was the discount rate, which was determined based on the market rates an investor would expect for a similar investment with similar risks. The discount rate was applied to present value the projected cash flows in the valuation model. Significant increases in the discount rate may significantly lower the fair value of an investment; conversely, significant decreases in the discount rate may significantly increase the fair value of an investment.

^(c)  The Fund purchased this security on June 30, 2015, and utilized the transaction cost to approximate fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents of the Funds consist of cash held in bank accounts and liquid investments with maturities, at the date of acquisition, not exceeding 90 days that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents were comprised of cash deposited with U.S. financial institutions in which carrying value approximated fair value and are considered to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Industry Classifications

The industry classifications of the Funds’ investments, as presented in the accompanying Schedules of Investments, represent management’s belief as to the most meaningful presentation of the classification of such investments. For Fund compliance purposes, the Funds’ industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, with the primary source being Moody’s, and/or as defined by the Funds’ management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Funds’ assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under U.S. GAAP approximates the carrying amounts presented in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions of the Funds are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Cost is determined based on consideration given, and the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investment securities is the difference between fair value determined in compliance with the valuation policy approved by the Board and the cost. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations. Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes the accretion of original issue discounts and amortization of premiums where applicable.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Status

The Funds intend to qualify each year as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains, if any, for their tax years. The Funds may elect to incur excise tax if it is deemed prudent by the Board from a cash management perspective or in the best interest of shareholders due to other facts and circumstances. For the year ended December 31, 2014, AFT did not record a U.S. federal excise tax provision. For the year ended December 31, 2014, AIF recorded a U.S. federal excise tax provision of $26,532. In 2014, it was deemed prudent for cash management purposes for AIF to pay a nominal excise tax which equated to $0.002 per common share. An additional $1,178 and $890 was paid during 2015 relating to the 2014 tax year by AFT and AIF, respectively. No federal income tax or excise provision is required for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The Funds have followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Funds to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Funds have determined that there was no material effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance. In the normal course of business, the Funds are subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for tax years for which applicable statutes of limitations have not expired. The statute of limitations on AFT’s federal and state tax filings remains open for the years ended December 31, 2011 to 2014. The statute of limitations on AIF’s federal and state fillings remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014.

Distributions to Common Shareholders

The Funds intend to make regular monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of their net investment income available to common shareholders. The Funds intend to pay common shareholders at least annually all or substantially all of their capital gains and net investment income after the payment of dividends and interest owed with respect to outstanding preferred shares and/or notes or other forms of leverage utilized by the Funds, although for cash management purposes, the Funds may elect to retain distributable amounts and pay excise tax as described above. If the Funds make a long-term

Notes to Financial Statements  (continued)

June 30, 2015 (unaudited)

capital gain distribution, they will be required to allocate such gain between the common shares and any preferred shares issued by the Funds in proportion to the total dividends paid to each class for the year in which the income is realized.

The distributions for any full or partial year might not be made in equal amounts, and one distribution may be larger than the other. The Funds will make a distribution only if authorized by the Board and declared by the Funds out of assets legally available for these distributions. The Funds may pay a special distribution at the end of each calendar year, if necessary, to comply with U.S. federal income tax requirements. This distribution policy may, under certain circumstances, have certain adverse consequences to the Funds and their shareholders because it may result in a return of capital to shareholders, which would reduce the Funds’ NAV and, over time, potentially increase the Funds’ expense ratios. If the Funds distribute a return of capital, it means that the Funds are returning to shareholders a portion of their investment rather than making a distribution that is funded from the Funds’ earned income or other profits. The Board may elect to change AFT’s or AIF’s distribution policy at any time.

Asset Segregation

In accordance with the Investment Company Act and various SEC and SEC staff interpretive positions, a Fund may “set aside” liquid assets (often referred to as “asset segregation”), or engage in measures in accordance with SEC or Staff guidance, to “cover” open positions with respect to certain kinds of financial instruments that could otherwise be considered “senior securities” as defined in Section 18(g) of the Investment Company Act. With respect to certain derivative contracts that are contractually required to cash settle, for example, a Fund is permitted to set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the Fund’s daily marked-to-market net obligations (i.e., the Fund’s daily net liability) under the contracts, if any, rather than such contracts’ full notional value. In other circumstances, a Fund may be required to set aside liquid assets equal to such a financial instrument’s full notional value, or enter into appropriate offsetting transactions, while the position is open. Each Fund reserves the right to modify its asset segregation policies in the future to comply with any changes in the positions from time to time announced by the SEC or its staff regarding asset segregation. These segregation and coverage requirements could result in a Fund’s maintaining securities positions that it would otherwise liquidate, segregating assets at a time when it might be disadvantageous to do so or otherwise restricting portfolio management. Such segregation and coverage requirements will not limit or offset losses on related positions.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the new guidance, the Funds are required to present such costs in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt liability rather than as an asset. The standard is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Funds have elected early adoption. The impact to the financial statements will be the reclassification of any unamortized debt issuance costs on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the modification of related accounting policy disclosures in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Note 3. Investment Advisory, Administration and Other Agreements with Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fee

The Adviser provides certain investment advisory, management and administrative services to the Funds pursuant to investment advisory and management agreements with each of the Funds. For its services, each Fund pays the Adviser monthly at the annual rate of 1.0% of the average daily value of the Fund’s managed assets. Managed assets are defined as the total assets of a Fund (including any assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be issued or to money borrowed or notes issued by the Fund) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities, including accrued interest and accumulated dividends (other than liabilities for money borrowed (including the liquidation preference of preferred shares) or notes issued). The Adviser may elect from time to time, in its sole discretion, to waive its receipt of the advisory fee from a Fund. If the Adviser elects to waive its compensation, such action may have a positive effect on the Fund’s performance or yield. The Adviser is under no obligation to waive its fees, may elect not to do so, may decide to waive its compensation periodically or may decide to waive its compensation on only one of the Funds at any given time. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Adviser earned fees of $2,164,638 and $2,003,380 from AFT and AIF, respectively.

Administrative Services and Expense Reimbursements

The Funds and the Adviser have entered into Administrative Services and Expense Reimbursement Agreements pursuant to which the Adviser provides certain administrative services, personnel and facilities to the Funds and performs operational services necessary for the operation of the Funds not otherwise provided by other service providers of the Funds. These services may include, without limitation, certain bookkeeping and recordkeeping services, compliance and legal services, investor relations assistance, and accounting and auditing support. Pursuant to these agreements, the Funds

Semi-Annual Report  |  37

June 30, 2015 (unaudited)

will reimburse the Adviser at cost, at the Adviser’s request, for certain costs and expenses incurred by the Adviser that are necessary for the administration and operation of the Funds. In addition, the Adviser or one of its affiliates may pay certain expenses on behalf of the Funds and then allocate these expenses to the Funds for reimbursement. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Adviser provided services under these agreements totaling $323,889 and $299,693 for AFT and AIF, respectively, which is shown in the Statements of Operations as administrative services of the Adviser. Included in these amounts is approximately $50,000 and $48,000 for AFT and AIF, respectively, of remuneration for officers of the Funds. The Adviser did not waive the right to expense reimbursements and investment advisory fees for either Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Each Fund has also entered into an Administration and Accounting Services Agreement (the “Administration Agreements”) with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNYMIS”). Under the Administration Agreements, BNYMIS provides certain administrative services necessary for the operation of the Funds, including maintaining the Funds’ books and records, providing accounting services and preparing regulatory filings. The Funds pay BNYMIS for these services. The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) serves as the Funds’ custodian. BNYMIS serves as the Funds’ transfer agent. BNY Mellon and BNYMIS provided services totaling $134,212 and $130,610 for AFT and AIF, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 which are included in the Statements of Operations in other operating expenses.

Board of Directors Fees

On an annual basis, AFT and AIF pay to each member of the Board who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Funds an annual retainer of $12,000 per Fund, plus $2,000 for each in-person Board meeting of a single Fund ($3,000, or $1,500 per Fund, for a joint meeting of both Funds), plus $1,000 for attendance at telephonic board meetings of a single Fund or participation in special committee meetings of a single Fund not held in conjunction with regularly scheduled Board meetings ($1,500, or $750 per Fund, for a joint meeting of both Funds). In addition, the chairman of the audit committee receives $3,000 per year from each Fund. The Funds also reimbursed independent Board members for travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such meetings, and the Funds split the cost of such expenses for meetings involving both AFT and AIF. Included in the Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is $50,574 and $55,574 of expenses related to the Board for each of AFT and AIF, respectively.

Note 4. Investment Transactions

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the cost of investment purchases and proceeds from sales of securities and principal paydowns were as follows:

Fund	Cost of Investments Purchased		Proceeds from Investments Sold
Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc.		$131,006,232		$134,080,068
Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc.		132,853,386		137,057,304

Note 5. Risks

Senior Loans

Senior Loans are usually rated below investment grade and may also be unrated. As a result, the risks associated with Senior Loans are similar to the risks of below investment grade fixed income instruments, although Senior Loans are senior and secured, in contrast to other below investment grade fixed income instruments, which are often subordinated or unsecured. Investments in Senior Loans rated below investment grade are considered speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. Such issuers are considered more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal owed to the Funds, and such defaults could reduce the Funds’ NAV and income distributions. An economic downturn would generally lead to a higher non-payment rate, and a Senior Loan may lose significant market value before a default occurs. Moreover, any specific collateral used to secure a Senior Loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the Senior Loan’s value. Senior Loans are subject to a number of risks, including liquidity risk and the risk of investing in below investment grade fixed income instruments.

Senior Loans are subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal. Such non-payment would result in a reduction of income to the Funds, a reduction in the value of the investment and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Funds. There can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral securing a Senior Loan would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that the collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of a Borrower, the Funds could experience delays or limitations

Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc.

Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements  (continued)

June 30, 2015 (unaudited)

with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing a Senior Loan. The collateral securing a Senior Loan may lose all or substantially all of its value in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a Borrower. Some Senior Loans are subject to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, could subordinate such Senior Loans to presently existing or future indebtedness of the Borrower or take other action detrimental to the holders of Senior Loans including, in certain circumstances, invalidating such Senior Loans or causing interest previously paid to be refunded to the Borrower.

There may be less readily available and reliable information about most Senior Loans than is the case for many other types of securities, including securities issued in transactions registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) or registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). As a result, the Adviser will rely primarily on its own evaluation of a Borrower’s credit quality rather than on any available independent sources. Therefore, the Funds will be particularly dependent on the analytical abilities of the Adviser.

In general, the secondary trading market for Senior Loans is not well developed. No active trading market may exist for certain Senior Loans, which may make it difficult to value them. Illiquidity and adverse market conditions may mean that the Funds may not be able to sell Senior Loans quickly or at a fair price. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain Senior Loans, the market for them may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods.

Senior Loans are generally not registered under the 1933 Act and often contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the Borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which Borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown on the Schedule of Investments.

The Funds may acquire Senior Loans through assignments or participations. The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation; however, the purchaser’s rights can be more restricted than those of the assigning institution, and the Funds may not be able to unilaterally enforce all rights and remedies under the loan and with regard to any associated collateral. In general, a participation is a contractual relationship only with the institution participating out the interest, not with the Borrower. Sellers of participations typically include banks, broker-dealers and other financial and lending institutions. In purchasing participations, the Funds generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the Borrower with the terms of the loan agreement against the Borrower, and the Funds may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which they have purchased the participation. As a result, the Funds will be exposed to the credit risk of both the Borrower and the institution selling the participation. Further, in purchasing participations in lending syndicates, the Funds will not be able to conduct the due diligence on the Borrower or the quality of the Senior Loan with respect to which they are buying a participation that the Funds would otherwise conduct if they were investing directly in the Senior Loan, which may result in the Funds being exposed to greater credit or fraud risk with respect to the Borrower or the Senior Loan.

Corporate Bonds

The Funds may invest in a wide variety of bonds of varying maturities issued by U.S. and foreign corporations, other business entities, governments and municipalities and other issuers. Corporate bonds are issued with varying features and may differ in the way that interest is calculated, the amount and frequency of payments, the type of collateral, if any, and the presence of special features (e.g., conversion rights, call rights or other rights of the issuer). The Funds’ investments in corporate bonds may include, but are not limited to, senior, junior, secured and unsecured bonds, notes and other debt securities, and may be fixed rate, variable rate or floating rate, among other things.

The Adviser expects most of the corporate bonds in which the Funds invest will be high yield bonds (commonly referred to as “junk” bonds). An issuer of corporate bonds typically pays the investor a fixed rate of interest and must repay the amount borrowed on or before maturity. The investment return of corporate bonds reflects interest on the security and changes in the market value of the security. The market value of a corporate bond generally may be expected to rise and fall inversely with interest rates. The value of intermediate and longer-term corporate bonds normally fluctuates more in response to changes in interest rates than does the value of shorter-term corporate bonds. The market value of a corporate bond also may be affected by investors’ perceptions of the creditworthiness of the issuer, the issuer’s performance and perceptions of the issuer in the marketplace.

Subordinated Loans

Subordinated loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in Senior Loans, except that such loans are subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority to first lien holders. In the event of default on a

Semi-Annual Report  |  39

Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc.

Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements  (continued)

June 30, 2015 (unaudited)

subordinated loan, the first priority lien holder has first claim to the underlying collateral of the loan. Subordinated loans are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the Borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior unsecured or senior secured obligations of the Borrower. This risk is generally higher for subordinated unsecured loans or debt that are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral. Subordinated loans generally have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and may be less liquid.

Structured Products

Investments in structured products involve risks, including credit risk and market risk. When the Funds’ investments in structured products (such as CDOs, CLOs and asset-backed securities) are based upon the movement of one or more factors, including currency exchange rates, interest rates, reference bonds (or loans) or stock indices, depending on the factor used and the use of multipliers or deflators, changes in interest rates and movement of any factor may cause significant price fluctuations. Additionally, changes in the reference instrument or security may cause the interest rate on a structured product to be reduced to zero and any further changes in the reference instrument may then reduce the principal amount payable on maturity of the structured product. Structured products may be less liquid than other types of securities and more volatile than the reference instrument or security underlying the product.

The Funds may have the right to receive payments only from the structured product and generally do not have direct rights against the issuer or the entity that sold the assets to be securitized. While certain structured products enable the investor to acquire interests in a pool of securities without the brokerage and other expenses associated with directly holding the same securities, investors in structured products generally pay their share of the structured product’s administrative and other expenses. Although it is difficult to predict whether the prices of indices and securities underlying structured products will rise or fall, these prices (and, therefore, the prices of structured products) will be influenced by the same types of political and economic events that generally affect issuers of securities and capital markets. If the issuer of a structured product uses shorter-term financing to purchase longer-term securities, the issuer may be forced to sell its securities at below market prices if it experiences difficulty in obtaining short-term financing, which may adversely affect the value of the structured products owned by the Funds.

Certain structured products may be thinly traded or have a limited trading market. CLOs are typically privately offered and sold. As a result, investments in CLOs may be characterized by the Fund as illiquid securities. CLOs carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default, (iii) the possibility that the investments in CLOs are subordinate to other classes or tranches of the CLOs and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

Note 7. Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income/(loss) and net realized gain/(loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.

The tax character of distributions paid by AFT during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was as follows:

Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc.
Distributions paid from Ordinary Income: *	2014
Common Shareholders		$19,176,667
Preferred Shareholders		244,641
Total Distributions		$19,421,308

* For tax purposes, short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.

The tax character of distributions paid by AIF during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was as follows:

Note 8. Credit Agreements and Preferred Shares

The Funds utilize leverage and may utilize leverage to the maximum extent permitted by law for investment and other general corporate purposes. The Funds may obtain leverage by issuing preferred shares and/or notes and may also borrow funds from banks and other financial institutions. The Funds may also gain leverage synthetically through swaps and other derivatives. The use of leverage to purchase additional securities creates an opportunity for increased common share dividends, but also creates risks for common shareholders, including increased variability of the Funds’ net income, distributions and/or NAV in relation to market changes. Leverage is a speculative technique that exposes the Funds to greater risk and increased costs than if it were not implemented. Increases and decreases in the value of the Funds’ portfolios will be magnified due to the use of leverage. In particular, leverage may magnify interest rate risk, which is the risk that the prices of portfolio securities will fall (or rise) if market interest rates for those types of securities rise (or fall). As a result, leverage may cause greater changes in the Funds’ NAV, which will be borne entirely by the Funds’ common shareholders.

If the Funds issue preferred shares and/or notes or engage in other borrowings, they will have to pay dividends on their shares or interest on their notes or borrowings, which will increase expenses and may reduce the Funds’ return. These dividend payments or interest expenses (which will be borne entirely by the common shareholders) may be greater than the Funds’ return on the underlying investments. The Funds’ leveraging strategy may not be successful.

On May 15, 2014, AFT entered into a $150,000,000 revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”) as lender and administrative agent. AFT has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the credit facility. On May 20, 2014, AFT reduced the commitment to $149,269,000. AFT may borrow on a revolving basis until May 15, 2016. Any loans outstanding under the credit facility must be repaid in full on May 15, 2016. The loans bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.20%. As of June 30, 2015, AFT has $149,269,000 principal outstanding, which is the maximum commitment amount under the credit facility.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the average daily principal loan balance outstanding on days where borrowings existed was $149,269,000, the weighted average annual interest rate was 1.46% and the interest expense, which is included on the Statements of Operations in interest expense, was $1,096,380.

The fair value of AFT’s borrowings under the credit facility approximates the carrying amount presented in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities based on a yield analysis and remaining maturities for which AFT has determined would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair-value hierarchy.

The credit facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on debt, liens and restricted payments, as well as certain portfolio limitations and customary prepayment provisions, including a requirement to prepay loans or take certain other actions if certain asset value tests are not met. As of June 30, 2015, AFT was not aware of any instances of non-compliance related to the credit facility.

In connection with AFT’s entry into the credit facility, certain debt financing costs were incurred by AFT and are shown net of the principal amount in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the credit facility. The amortization of the deferred financing costs is included in the Statements of Operations.

Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc.

On April 24, 2015, AIF entered into a $138,000,000 revolving credit facility with JPM as lender and administrative agent. AIF has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the credit facility. AIF may borrow on a revolving basis until April 22, 2016. Any loans outstanding under the credit facility must be repaid in full on April 22, 2016. The loans bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.00%. As of June 30, 2015, AIF has $138,000,000 principal outstanding, which is the maximum commitment amount under the credit facility.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the average daily principal loan balance outstanding on days where borrowings existed was $138,000,000, the weighted average annual interest rate was 1.39% and the interest expense, which is included on the Statements of Operations in interest expense, was $964,422.

Prior to April 24, 2015, AIF had a $138,000,000 revolving credit facility with JPM as lender and administrative agent that expired on April 26, 2015. The loans bore interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.20%.

The fair value of AIF’s borrowings under the credit facility approximates the carrying amount presented in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities based on a yield analysis and remaining maturities for which AIF has determined would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair-value hierarchy.

The credit facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on debt, liens and restricted payments, as well as certain portfolio limitations and customary prepayment provisions, including a requirement to prepay loans or take certain other actions if certain asset value tests are not met.

Note 9. General Commitments and Contingencies

As of June 30, 2015, the Funds had unfunded loan commitments outstanding, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, as detailed below:

Borrower	AFT		AIF
Charger OpCo B.V. (Oak Tea, Inc.)*	$	3,740,601	$	3,740,601
LTS Buyer, LLC (Sidera Networks, Inc.)		1,912,192		1,912,192
Total Unfunded Loan Commitments	$	5,652,793	$	5,652,793

* The loan commitment for Charger OpCo B.V. (Oak Tea, Inc.) was subsequently funded on July 2, 2015.

Unfunded loan commitments are marked to market on the relevant day of the valuation in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies. Any related unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on unfunded loan commitments is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, AFT and AIF recorded a net change in unrealized appreciation on unfunded transactions totaling $93,985 and $91,698, respectively.

Note 10. Indemnification

The Funds each have a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with their service providers. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. Based upon historical experience, the risk of loss from such claims is currently considered remote; however, there can be no assurance that losses will not occur or if claims are made against the Funds the losses will not be material.

Note 11. Subsequent Event

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events that would require disclosure in or adjustments to the financial statements.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Unless a shareholder specifically elects to receive common stock of the Funds as set forth below, all net investment income dividends and all capital gains distributions declared by the Board will be payable in cash.

A shareholder may elect to have net investment income dividends and capital gains distributions reinvested in common stock of the Funds. To exercise this option, such shareholder must notify BNYMIS, the plan administrator and the Funds’ transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator not less than 10 days prior to the record date fixed by the Board for the net investment income dividend and/or capital gains distribution involved.

The plan administrator will set up an account for shares acquired pursuant to the plan for each shareholder that elects to receive dividends and distributions in additional shares of common stock of the Funds (each a “Participant”). The plan administrator may hold each Participant’s shares, together with the shares of other Participants, in non-certificated form in the plan administrator’s name or that of its nominee.

The shares are acquired by the plan administrator for a participant’s account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized shares of common stock from the Funds (“Newly Issued Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares of common stock on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the NYSE or elsewhere. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV per share of the common stock is equal to or less than the market price per share of the common stock plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to as “market premium”), the plan administrator will invest the dividend amount in Newly Issued Shares on behalf of the Participant. The number of Newly Issued Shares of common stock to be credited to the Participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV per share on the date the shares are issued, unless the NAV is less than 95% of the then current market price per share, in which case the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the then current market price per share. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV per share is greater than the market value (such condition being referred to as “market discount”), the plan administrator will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the Participant in Open-Market Purchases.

The plan administrator’s service fee, if any, and expenses for administering the plan will be paid for by the Funds. If a Participant elects by written notice to the plan administrator to have the plan administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the plan administrator in the Participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the Participant, the plan administrator is authorized to deduct a $15 transaction fee plus a 5¢ per share brokerage commission from the proceeds.

Shareholders who receive dividends in the form of stock are subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as are shareholders who elect to receive their dividends in cash. A shareholder’s basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of stock received in a dividend from the Funds will be equal to the total dollar amount of the dividend payable to the shareholders. Any stock received in a dividend will have a new holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares are credited to the U.S. shareholder’s account.

Participants may terminate their accounts under the plan by notifying the plan administrator via its website at bnymellon.com/ shareowner, by filling out the transaction request form located at the bottom of the Participant’s statement and sending it to the plan administrator at P.O. Box 30170, College Station, TX 77842 or by calling the plan administrator at 800-331-1710.

The plan may be terminated by the Funds upon notice in writing mailed to each Participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Funds. All correspondence, including requests for additional information, concerning the plan should be directed to the plan administrator by mail at P.O. Box 30170, College Station, TX 77842.

Approval of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreements for AFT and AIF

At a meeting of the Board of the Funds held on February 9, 2015, the Directors met in person to consider the approval of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement between AFT and Apollo Credit Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement between AIF and the Adviser (each, an “Advisory Agreement” and together, the “Advisory Agreements”) for an additional one-year term. While the meetings occurred at the same time, the Directors considered each Advisory Agreement separately.

The Board has the responsibility under the Investment Company Act to approve annual renewal of each Fund’s Advisory Agreement at meetings of the Board called for the purpose of voting on such renewal. The Board generally receives, reviews and evaluates information concerning the services and personnel of the Adviser and its affiliates at quarterly meetings of the Board. While particular emphasis might be placed on information concerning the investment performance of each Fund, each Fund’s fees and expenses in comparison with other funds’ fees and expenses and the Adviser’s profitability at the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreements is considered, the process of evaluating each Fund’s investment advisory and management arrangements is an ongoing one.

In preparation for their review of the Advisory Agreements, all of the Directors who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act (the “Independent Directors”), of the Funds present at the meeting met with their independent counsel in an executive session. In considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreements, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, reviewed materials provided in advance of the meeting by the Adviser and counsel to the Independent Directors and other materials which included, among other things: (i) information concerning the services rendered to each Fund by the Adviser; (ii) information concerning the revenues generated and expenses incurred by the Adviser from the operation of each Fund; and (iii) a memorandum outlining the legal duties of the Board under the Investment Company Act. The Board also reviewed information prepared by Strategic Insight, a third party service provider, which included information in respect of each Fund comparing (1) the Fund’s performance with that of a group of comparable funds selected by Strategic Insight (the “Peer Group”) and with a broader group of funds (the “Morningstar Category”), and (2) the Fund’s contractual and net management fees and total net expenses with those of its Peer Group and Morningstar Category.

The Directors also received information regarding each Fund’s operations, expenses and performance periodically throughout the year.

The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.  The nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to each Fund, including the Adviser’s expertise in managing loan portfolios, the integrated platform of the Adviser and its affiliates and the benefits, resources and opportunities of the platform that the Adviser is able to access was discussed. Fund management discussed the size and experience of the Adviser’s staff, the experience of its key personnel in providing investment management services, the systems used by the Adviser’s personnel and the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel. The reputation, compliance history, compliance program and financial condition of the Adviser was also discussed. They discussed the terms of each Advisory Agreement and the Adviser’s responsibilities with respect to each Fund.

Investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser.   Representatives of the Adviser reviewed with the Board the performance of each Fund. Fund management discussed each Fund’s market price, and its yield. Representatives of the Adviser compared each Fund’s current dividend yield to the average dividend yield of certain of its peer funds identified by the Adviser. Fund management discussed each Fund’s investment performance as compared to the performance of relevant reference indexes (the “Benchmarks”) for various periods. On a net asset value basis, AFT outperformed the Benchmarks for the one-year period ended December 31, 2014 and for the periods from inception to December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and underperformed the Benchmarks for the period from inception to December 31, 2011. On a net asset value basis, AIF outperformed the Benchmarks for the one-year period ended December 31, 2014 and for the periods from inception to December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. On a market value basis, AFT and AIF each underperformed the Benchmarks for all periods. Representatives of the Adviser reviewed each Fund’s investment performance as compared to that of its Peer Group and Morningstar Category for various periods ended December 31, 2014. Each Fund generally ranked above or slightly below the medians of its Peer Group and Morningstar Category for the various periods.

Cost of services provided and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Directors received information from the Adviser regarding the profitability of each Fund to the Adviser and its affiliate and

the methodology used by the Adviser in allocating its costs regarding the operations of the Funds and calculating profitability. In addition, the Directors considered whether any direct or indirect collateral benefits inured to the Adviser as a result of its affiliation with the Funds. It was noted that each Fund has entered into an Administrative Services and Reimbursement Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser provides the Fund with certain personnel and services not otherwise provided under the relevant Advisory Agreement, which services are required for the operations of the Fund, and the Fund generally reimburses the Adviser on an at cost basis for such services.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale. The Directors considered the extent to which economies of scale are relevant for the Funds. It was noted that, because each Fund is a closed-end fund, any increase in asset levels generally would have to come from material appreciation through investment performance. It was also noted that an investment objective of each Fund is to seek current income and that a majority of each Fund’s realized income is expected to be distributed to its shareholders through monthly dividends.

Comparison of services rendered and fees paid to those under other investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisers or other clients. The Board discussed the net management fee and net expense ratio comparisons set forth in the Strategic Insight report with representatives of the Adviser. For each Fund, the Fund’s contractual management fee was within the range of those of its Peer Group funds. AFT’s net total expense ratio at both managed and common asset levels and AIF’s net total expense ratio at common asset levels ranked in the fourth quartile of the relevant Peer Group and Morningstar Category, and AIF’s net total expense ratio at managed asset levels ranked in the third quartile of its Peer Group and Morningstar Category. In considering the comparison of services rendered to and fees paid by each Fund to those under other investment advisory contracts, the Directors were aware of the nature of the investment strategies of each Fund and the fact that the relevant comparison funds may have investment strategies, restrictions and leverage different from those of the Fund. In regard to compensation paid to the Adviser with respect to other funds or accounts, the Adviser stated that none of the other funds or accounts advised by it or any of its affiliates is comparable to either Fund with respect to investment strategies.

Conclusion. After consideration of the factors discussed above, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve each Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term.
