HMS Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
HMS Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland corporation on November 28, 2011 under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The Company’s primary investment objective is to generate current income through debt and equity investments. A secondary objective of the Company is to generate long-term capital appreciation through such equity and equity related investments including warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire equity related securities. The Company’s portfolio strategy calls for it to invest primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities issued by lower middle market ("LMM") companies, which generally have annual revenues between $10 million and $150 million, and debt securities issued by middle market ("Middle Market") companies that are generally larger in size than the LMM companies. The Company categorizes some of its investments in LMM companies and Middle Market companies as private loan ("Private Loan") portfolio investments. Private Loan investments, often referred to in the debt markets as “club deals,” are investments, generally in debt instruments, that the Company originates on a collaborative basis with other investment funds or lenders. Private Loan investments are typically similar in size, structure, terms and conditions to investments the Company holds in its LMM portfolio and Middle Market portfolio. The Company’s portfolio also includes other portfolio ("Other Portfolio") investments which primarily consist of investments that are not consistent with the typical profiles for its LMM portfolio investments, Middle Market portfolio investments or Private Loan portfolio investments, including investments which may be managed by third parties. The Company’s portfolio investments may be subject to restrictions on resale.
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had raised approximately $538.2 million in the current Offering (the "Offering"), including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $16.7 million.
The business of the Company is managed by HMS Adviser LP (the “Adviser”), a Texas limited partnership and affiliate of Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), under an Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement dated May 31, 2012, as amended (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Company and the Adviser have retained MSC Adviser I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Main Street Capital Corporation ("Main Street"), a New York Stock Exchange listed BDC, as the Company’s investment sub-adviser (the "Sub-Adviser") under an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), to identify, evaluate, negotiate and structure prospective investments, make investment and portfolio management recommendations for approval by the Adviser, monitor the Company’s investment portfolio and provide certain ongoing administrative services to the Adviser. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser are collectively referred to as the “Advisers,” and each is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"). Upon the execution of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, Main Street became an affiliate of the Company. The Company has engaged Hines Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Adviser, to serve as the Dealer Manager for the Offering. The Dealer Manager is responsible for marketing the Company’s shares of common stock being offered pursuant to the Offering.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
Amounts as of December 31, 2014 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted herein. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 4, 2015. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Interest, Fee and Dividend Income
Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Prepayment penalties received by the Company are recorded as income upon receipt. Dividend income is recorded when dividends are declared by the portfolio company or at the point an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution. Accrued interest and dividend income is evaluated quarterly for collectability. When a debt security becomes 90 days or more past due and the Company does not expect the debtor to be able to service all of its debt or other obligations, the debt security will generally be placed on non-accrual status and the Company will cease recognizing interest income on that debt security until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due. Additionally, if a debt security has deferred interest payment terms and the Company becomes aware of a deterioration in credit quality, the Company will evaluate the collectability of the deferred interest payment. If it is determined that the deferred interest is unlikely to be collected, the Company will place the security on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that debt security until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay the contractual amounts due. If a debt security’s status significantly improves with respect to the debtor’s ability to service the debt or other obligations, or if a debt security is fully impaired, sold or written off, it will be removed from non-accrual status.
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had three investments in two portfolio companies that were more than 90 days past due. These three investments were on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2015. Given the credit deterioration of these two portfolio companies, no interest income has been recognized on these three investments during the three months ended September 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any investments that were more than 90 days past due. The Company had two investments in one portfolio company that were on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2014. Given the credit deterioration of this portfolio company, no interest income has been recognized on these two investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 2014. Aside from the three investments on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2015, the Company is not aware of any material changes to the creditworthiness of the borrowers underlying its debt investments.
From time to time, the Company may hold debt instruments in its investment portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. If these borrowers elect to pay or are obligated to pay interest under the optional PIK provision and, if deemed collectible in management's judgment, then the interest would be computed at the contractual rate specified in the investment’s credit agreement, recorded as interest income and periodically added to the principal balance of the investment. Thus, the actual collection of this interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. The Company stops accruing PIK interest and writes off any accrued and uncollected interest in arrears when it determines that such PIK interest in arrears is no longer collectible.
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company held nine and four investments, respectively, which contained a PIK provision. As of September 30, 2015, three of the nine investments with PIK provisions were on non-accrual status. No PIK interest was recorded on these three non-accrual investments during the three months ended September 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, two of the four investments with PIK provisions were on non-accrual status. No PIK interest was recorded on these two non-accrual investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reversed a net $32,000 of capitalized PIK interest since the PIK interest written off during the period was greater than the PIK interest capitalized during the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company capitalized $100,000 of PIK interest. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company capitalized $716,000 and $144,000, respectively, of PIK interest.
The Company may periodically provide services, including structuring and advisory services, to its portfolio companies or other third parties. The income from such services is non-recurring. For services that are separately identifiable and evidence exists to substantiate fair value, income is recognized as earned, which is generally when the investment or other applicable transaction closes. Fees received in connection with debt financing transactions for services that do not meet these criteria are treated as debt origination fees and are deferred and accreted into interest income over the life of the financing.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements under ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the ASC. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to perform the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new guidance will significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosures as to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year for all entities under US GAAP. The new guidance will be effective for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption would be permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new accounting standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis which amends the consolidation requirements under ASC 810. This guidance amends the criteria for determining which entities are considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and amends the criteria for determining if a service provider possesses a variable interest in a VIE. ASU No. 2015-02 also eliminates the deferral under ASU 2010-10 for application of the VIE consolidation model that was granted for investments in certain investment companies. This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs which amends the required presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet. The guidance will require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the ASU No. 2015-03. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements which clarified ASU 2015-03. This guidance allows an entity to defer and present debt issuance costs for line-of-credit arrangements as an asset and subsequently amortize these deferred costs over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company will make the required changes to the debt presentation on the consolidated balance sheet as of the effective date of this new guidance.
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This ASU removes, from the fair value hierarchy, investments which measure fair value using net asset value per share practical expedient. Instead, an entity is required to include those investments as a reconciling line item so that the total fair value amount of investments in the disclosure is consistent with the amount on the balance sheet. For public companies, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendment should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is expected to make the required changes to the fair value hierarchy disclosure as of the effective date of this new guidance.
Note 3 — Fair Value Hierarchy for Investments
Fair Value Hierarchy
ASC Topic 820 ("ASC 820") establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
9
Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the observability of the inputs used to determine fair values. Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
• | Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. |
• | Level 2—Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable for essentially the full term of the investment. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets (for example, thinly traded public companies), pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the investment, and pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the investment. |
• | Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Such information may be the result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes for which sufficient observable inputs were not available. |
As required by ASC 820, when the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, gains and losses for such investments categorized within the Level 3 table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company conducts reviews of fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain investments.
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of debt securities, equity investments, and Other Portfolio investments. The fair value determination for these investments primarily consisted of unobservable (Level 3) inputs.
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, all of the Company’s LMM portfolio investments consisted of illiquid securities issued by private companies. The fair value determination for the LMM portfolio investments primarily consisted of unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s LMM portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company's Middle Market portfolio investments consisted primarily of private placement investments in secured and unsecured debt investments and independently rated debt investments. The fair value determination for these investments consisted of a combination of (1) observable inputs in non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were available to determine the fair value of these investments, (2) observable inputs in the non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were not available to determine the fair value of these investments and (3) unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company's Middle Market portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s Private Loan portfolio investments consisted primarily of debt investments. The fair value determination for Private Loan investments consisted of a combination of observable inputs in non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were not available to determine the fair value of these investments and unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s Private Loan portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s Other Portfolio investment consisted of an illiquid security issued by a private company. The fair value determination for this investment primarily consisted of unobservable inputs. As a result, the Company’s Other Portfolio equity investment was categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
The fair value determination of the Level 3 securities required one or more of the following unobservable inputs:
• | Financial information obtained from each portfolio company, including unaudited statements of operations and balance sheets for the most recent period available as compared to budgeted numbers; |
• | Current and projected financial condition of the portfolio company; |
• | Current and projected ability of the portfolio company to service its debt obligations; |
• | Type and amount of collateral, if any, underlying the investment; |
10
• | Current financial ratios (e.g., fixed charge coverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, and net debt/earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") ratio) applicable to the investment; |
• | Current liquidity of the investment and related financial ratios (e.g., current ratio and quick ratio); |
• | Pending debt or capital restructuring of the portfolio company; |
• | Projected operating results of the portfolio company; |
• | Current information regarding any offers to purchase the investment; |
• | Current ability of the portfolio company to raise any additional financing as needed; |
• | Changes in the economic environment which may have a material impact on the operating results of the portfolio company; |
• | Internal occurrences that may have an impact (both positive and negative) on the operating performance of the portfolio company; |
• | Qualitative assessment of key management; |
• | Contractual rights, obligations or restrictions associated with the investment; |
• | Third party pricing for securities with limited observability of inputs determining the pricing; and |
• | Other factors deemed relevant. |

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s LMM equity securities, which are generally valued through an average of the discounted cash flow technique and the market comparable/enterprise value technique (unless one of these approaches is not applicable), are (i) EBITDA multiples and (ii) the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). Significant increases (decreases) in EBITDA multiple inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Conversely, significant increases (decreases) in WACC inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s LMM, Middle Market and Private Loan debt investments are (i) risk adjusted discount rates used in the yield-to-maturity valuation technique (described in Note 2-Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-Valuation of Portfolio Investments in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed with the SEC on March 4, 2015) and (ii) the percentage of expected principal recovery. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these expected principal recovery percentages in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. However, due to the nature of certain investments, fair value measurements may be based on other criteria, such as third-party appraisals of collateral and fair values as determined by independent third parties, which are not presented in the table below.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, there were transfers of zero and $4.7 million, respectively, between Level 2 and Level 3 portfolio investments. The transfers represent Middle Market investments which are valued based upon third party quotes with limited activity and observability of inputs. In prior periods, these were classified as Level 2 fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2014, the Company obtained information regarding the quotes, including the number of quotes used to value these investments. Given the lack of observable inputs of the third party quotes, these investments were determined to be Level 3 fair value measurements as of September 30, 2014.

On September 24, 2015, with the authorization of the Company’s board of directors, the Company declared distributions to its stockholders for the period of October 2015 through December 2015. These distributions have been, or will be, calculated based on stockholders of record each day from October 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 in an amount equal to $0.00191781 per share, per day. Distributions are paid on the first business day following the completion of each month to which they relate.

The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a distribution, its stockholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock.
The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions that the Company declared and, in some instances, paid on its common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.

The Company may fund its cash distributions from all sources of funds legally available, including Offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies, fee and expense waivers from its Advisers, and expense support payments from the Adviser. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds that the Company may use from legally available sources to make distributions. The Company expects that for the foreseeable future, a portion of the distributions will be paid from sources other than net realized income from operations, which may include Offering proceeds, borrowings, fee and expense waivers from its Advisers and support payments from the Adviser. See Note 9 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee Waiver.
The Company’s distributions may exceed its earnings, especially during the period before it has substantially invested the proceeds from the Offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions it makes may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors.
Note 7 – Taxable Income
The Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC. As a RIC, the Company generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on net ordinary income or capital gains that the Company makes distributions to its stockholders from taxable earnings and profits as distributions. The Company must generally distribute annually dividends of an amount at least equal to 90% of its investment company taxable income in order to be subject to tax as a RIC. As a part of maintaining its RIC status, undistributed taxable income (subject to a 4% excise tax) pertaining to a given taxable year may be distributed up to 12 months subsequent to the end of that taxable year, provided such distributions are declared prior to the filing of the U.S. federal income tax return for the applicable taxable year. In order to avoid this excise tax, the Company needs to distribute, in respect of each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of capital loss ("Capital Gain Net Income"), adjusted for certain ordinary losses, for the one year period ending on October 31st of such calendar year (or, if we so elect for the calendar year) and (3) any net ordinary income and Capital Gain Net Income for the preceding calendar years that was not distributed during such calendar years and on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax.
The Company has formed a wholly owned subsidiary, HMS Equity Holding, LLC, which has elected to be a taxable entity (the "Taxable Subsidiary"). The Taxable Subsidiary holds equity investments in portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes in connection with facilitating the Company’s maintenance of its RIC tax status. The Taxable Subsidiary is consolidated for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, and the portfolio investments held by it are included in the consolidated financial statements as portfolio investments recorded at fair value. The Taxable Subsidiary is not consolidated with the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of its ownership of certain portfolio investments. This income tax expense, or benefit, if any, and the related tax assets and liabilities, are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Therefore, the final taxable income, and the taxable income earned in each period and carried forward for distribution in the following period, may be different than this estimate. |
The income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities generated by the Taxable Subsidiary, if any, are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized a net income tax provision of $(271,000) and $(3,000), respectively, related to deferred taxes of $(279,000) and $0 respectively, and other taxes of $8,000 and $(3,000), respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the other taxes included $0 and $1,000, respectively, related to an accrual for excise tax on the Company’s estimated spillover taxable income and $8,000 and $(4,000), respectively, related to accruals for state and other taxes.
The net deferred tax asset at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $276,000 and $0, respectively, of which $89,000 related to basis differences of portfolio investments held by the Taxable Subsidiary which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes and $187,000 related to net loss carryforwards from historical realized losses on portfolio investments held by the Taxable Subsidiary,
The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually at the end of the Company’s taxable year based upon the Company’s taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on an interim basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of distributions for a full year. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to stockholders shortly after the close of each calendar year.

Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee Waiver
19
On May 31, 2012, the Company and the Advisers entered into a conditional fee waiver agreement and subsequent amendments, pursuant to which, for a period from June 4, 2012 to December 31, 2013, the Advisers could waive all fees upon the occurrence of any event that, in the Advisers’ sole discretion, is deemed necessary, including (but not automatically triggered by) our estimate that a distribution declared and payable to the Company's stockholders during the fee waiver period represents, or would represent when paid, a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company refers to this conditional fee waiver agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement”). Further, the agreement contained a clause which states that at the sole and absolute discretion of the board of directors, in future periods, previously waived fees may be paid to the Advisers if and only to the extent that the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations exceeds the amount of cumulative distributions paid to stockholders. The previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by us, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver.
On December 30, 2013, the Company and the Advisers agreed to an amendment to the Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement which extended the term of the fee waiver with respect to the Adviser through December 31, 2014. The terms of the fee waiver were not extended with respect to the Sub-Adviser, whose waiver expired on December 31, 2013 (except with respect to a subordinated incentive fee on income payable for the period October 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 which the Sub-Adviser agreed to waive).
On April 15, 2015, the Company and the Advisers agreed to a further amendment (the "Fee Waiver Amendment") to the Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement. Under the Fee Waiver Amendment, the Advisers have agreed to extend the term of the fee waiver with respect to our Adviser through December 31, 2015. The terms of the fee waiver were not extended with respect to the Sub-Adviser (except for the subordinated incentive fee on income for the period January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015, which the Sub-Adviser has agreed to waive). The Adviser has no obligation to waive fees pursuant to the Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement after December 31, 2015 unless the fee waiver period is further extended.
Reimbursement of previously waived fees will only be permitted with the approval of the board of directors and if the operating expense ratio is equal to or less than the operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding fees were waived and if the annualized rate of regular cash distributions to stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the regular cash distributions at the time the corresponding fees were waived.
In a separate agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser dated April 15, 2015 and effective January 1, 2015, the Sub-Adviser agreed to conditionally reimburse the Adviser for 50% of the fees waived each quarter in 2015, up to $200,000 in total waived fees per quarter. If the total amount conditionally reimbursed by the Sub-Adviser in 2015 is less than both (i) 50% of the fees waived by the Adviser for 2015 excluding any previously reimbursed amounts and (ii) $400,000, then the Sub-Adviser shall reimburse the Adviser, in connection with the payment of management fees to the Sub-Adviser for the fourth quarter of 2015, the difference between (A) 50% of the fees waived by the Adviser for 2015 excluding any previously reimbursed amounts minus (B) any amounts conditionally reimbursed by the Sub-Adviser in 2015, up to a maximum of $400,000 of total conditional reimbursements by the Sub-Adviser.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred base management fees of $4.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and the Advisers waived base management fees of $0 and $821,000, respectively. Accordingly, net of waivers, the Company paid base management fees of $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and paid base management fees of $821,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred capital gains incentive fees of $0 and $0, respectively, and subordinated incentive fees on income of $155,000 and $0, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Advisers waived capital gains incentive fees of $0 and $0, respectively, and subordinated incentive fees on income of $155,000 and $0, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred base management fees of $11.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and the Advisers waived base management fees of $0 and $1.7 million, respectively. Accordingly, net of waivers, the Company paid base management fees of $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and paid base management fees of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred capital gains incentive fees of $0 and $0, respectively, and subordinated incentive fees on income of $1.4 million and $0, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Advisers waived capital gains incentive fees of $0 and $0, respectively, and subordinated incentive fees on income of $1.4 million and $0, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not record an accrual for any previously waived fees. Any future reimbursement of previously waived fees to the Advisers will not be accrued until the reimbursement of the waived fees becomes probable and estimable, which will be upon approval of the Company’s board of directors.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Company is required to pay or reimburse the Advisers for administrative services expenses, which include all costs and expenses related to the Company's day-to-day administration and management not related to advisory services. The Advisers do not earn any profit under their provision of administrative services to the Company. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred, and the Advisers waived the reimbursement of, administrative services expenses of $517,000 and $371,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred, and the Advisers waived the reimbursement of, administrative services expenses of $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The Advisers have agreed to waive the reimbursement of administrative services expenses through December 31, 2015. The waiver of the reimbursement of administrative service expenses is not subject to future reimbursement.
On November 11, 2013, the Company entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the "2013 Expense Reimbursement Agreement"). On April 15, 2015, the Company and the Adviser agreed to an amendment to the 2013 Expense Reimbursement Agreement (the "2013 Expense Reimbursement Amendment"). Under the 2013 Expense Reimbursement Amendment, reimbursement of Expense Support Payments made under the 2013 Expense Reimbursement Agreement shall be made in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Fee Waiver Amendment. All other terms of the 2013 Expense Reimbursement Agreement remain unchanged.
On December 30, 2013, the Company and the Adviser agreed to an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, which was subsequently amended on March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014 (as amended, the "2014 Expense Reimbursement Agreement"). On April 15, 2015, the Company and the Adviser agreed to a further amendment to the 2014 Expense Reimbursement Agreement (the "Fourth Amendment"). Under the Fourth Amendment, which is effective December 31, 2014, reimbursement of Expense Support Payments made under the 2014 Expense Reimbursement Agreement shall be made in accordance with and subject to the Fee Waiver Amendment. All other terms of the 2014 Expense Reimbursement Agreement remain unchanged. There is currently no agreement in place for the Adviser to provide Expense Support to the Company after December 31, 2014.
The table below presents the fees and expenses waived by the Advisers and the timing of potential reimbursement of waived fees. Previously waived fees will only be reimbursed with the approval of the Company's board of directors and if the "operating expense ratio" (as described in footnote 4 to the table below) is equal to or less than the Company's operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding fees were waived and if the annualized rate of the Company's regular cash distributions to stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the Company's regular cash distributions at the time the corresponding fees were waived.

To date, none of the previously waived fees and Expense Support Payments has been approved for reimbursement by the Company’s board of directors. |

(3) | The Advisers have agreed to permanently waive reimbursement by the Company of administrative expenses through December 31, 2015. The administrative expenses are waived on a quarterly basis and are not eligible for future reimbursement from the Company to the Advisers. |
(4) | The “Operating Expense Ratio” is calculated on a quarterly basis as a percentage of average net assets and includes all expenses borne by the Company, except for base management and incentive fees and administrative expenses waived by the Advisers and organizational and offering expenses. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, expenses have been reduced by $153,000, the amount of the Expense Support Payment received in 2013 from the Adviser. For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, expenses have been reduced by $328,000, which Expense Support Payment was received from the Adviser on October 30, 2014. |

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser have incurred approximately $9.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of Offering costs on the Company’s behalf. On May 31, 2012, the Company recorded a due to affiliate liability and capitalized the deferred Offering costs as it is expected that the Company will raise sufficient capital that it will be required to reimburse the Advisers for these costs. As of September 30, 2015, the balance of the due to affiliate liability related to unpaid Offering costs was $1.3 million. On a regular basis, management reviews capital raise projections to evaluate the likelihood of the capital raise reaching a level that would require the Company to reimburse the Advisers for the Offering costs incurred on the Company's behalf. Based on the $9.4 million of Offering costs incurred by the Advisers through September 30, 2015, the Company would have to raise approximately $626.9 million to be obligated to reimburse the Advisers for all of these Offering costs. Commencing with the Company’s initial closing, which occurred on September 17, 2012, and continuing with every closing thereafter, 1.5% of the proceeds of such closings will be amortized as a charge to additional paid-in capital and a reduction of deferred Offering costs, until such asset is fully amortized. As of September 30, 2015, approximately $8.1 million has been amortized. The Company expects to reimburse the Advisers for such costs incurred on its behalf on a monthly basis up to a maximum aggregate amount of 1.5% of the gross Offering proceeds.
The table below outlines fees incurred and expense reimbursements payable to Hines, Main Street and their affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and amounts unpaid as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands).

OVERVIEW
We are a specialty finance company sponsored by Hines that makes debt and equity investments in middle market ("Middle Market") companies, which we define as companies with annual revenues generally between $10 million and $3 billion and in lower middle market ("LMM") companies, which we define as companies with annual revenues generally between $10 million and $150 million. We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated
24
as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). We are, therefore, required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. We have elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company ("RIC"), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Our primary investment objective is to generate current income through debt and equity investments, and a secondary objective is to generate long-term capital appreciation through such equity and equity related investments. We will invest in senior secured and second lien debt securities issued by Middle Market companies in private placements and negotiated transactions, which are traded in private over-the-counter markets for institutional investors. We will also invest in, and a significant portion of our assets are invested in, customized direct secured and unsecured loans to and equity securities of LMM companies, referred to as LMM securities. Typically, our investments in LMM companies will require us to co-invest with Main Street and/or its affiliates. We categorize some of our investments in LMM companies and Middle Market companies as private loan ("Private Loan") portfolio investments. Private Loan investments, often referred to in the debt markets as “club deals,” are investments, generally in debt instruments, that we originate on a collaborative basis with other investment funds or lenders. Private Loan investments are typically similar in size, structure, terms and conditions to investments we hold in our LMM portfolio and Middle Market portfolio. Our portfolio also includes other portfolio ("Other Portfolio") investments which primarily consist of investments that are not consistent with the typical profiles for our LMM portfolio investments, Middle Market portfolio investments or Private Loan portfolio investments, including investments which may be managed by third parties.
As a BDC, we are subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making our investments, including limitations on our ability to co-invest with certain affiliates, including Main Street. However, we received an order from the SEC, that permits us, subject to certain conditions, to co-invest with Main Street in certain transactions originated by Main Street and/or our Advisers. The exemptive relief permits us, and certain of our directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries on one hand, and Main Street, and or/certain of its affiliates on the other hand, to co-invest in the same investment opportunities where such investment would otherwise be prohibited under Section 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act. In addition, we may continue to co-invest with Main Street and/or its affiliates in syndicated deals and secondary loan market purchases where price is the only negotiated point.
As of September 30, 2015, we had investments in 83 Middle Market debt investments, 20 Private Loan debt investments, 14 LMM debt investments, 16 LMM equity investments, two Private Loan equity investments and two Other Portfolio investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $876.7 million, a cost basis of approximately $902.0 million, and a weighted average effective annual yield of approximately 8.3%. The weighted average annual yield was calculated using the effective interest rates for all investments at September 30, 2015, including accretion of original issue discount and amortization of the premium to par value, the amortization of fees received in connection with transactions. This calculation assumes zero yield for investments on non-accrual status. Approximately 80.8% and 16.5% of our portfolio investments at fair value (excluding our Other Portfolio investments) were secured by first priority liens and second priority liens on portfolio company assets, respectively, with the remainder in unsecured debt investments and equity investments.
The level of new portfolio investment activity will fluctuate from period to period based upon the status of our capital raising efforts under the Offering, our view of the current economic fundamentals, our ability to identify new investment opportunities that meet our investment criteria, and our ability to close on the identified transactions. The level of new investment activity and associated interest and fee income will directly impact future investment income. While we intend to grow our portfolio and our investment income over the long-term, our growth and our operating results may be more limited during depressed economic periods. However, we intend to appropriately manage our cost structure and liquidity position based on applicable economic conditions and our investment outlook. The level of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation will also fluctuate depending upon portfolio activity and the performance of our individual portfolio companies. The changes in realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation could have a material impact on our operating results.
Investment Income
We have generated, and plan to continue to generate, investment income primarily in the form of interest on the debt securities that we hold, dividends and other distributions with respect to any equity interests that we hold and capital gains, if any, on convertible debt or other equity interests that we acquire in portfolio companies. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, and possibly consulting fees and performance-based fees. All such fees will be generated in connection with our investments and recognized as earned or as additional yield over the life of the debt investment. To date our investment income has been interest income on debt investments, accretion of original issue discounts, dividend income, amortization of premiums and fees received from transactions and net realized/unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
Expenses
25
On both a short-term and long-term basis, our primary use of funds will be investments in portfolio companies and cash distributions to our stockholders. Our primary operating expenses will be debt service payments, general and administrative expenses, and payment of advisory fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The investment advisory fees paid to our Adviser (and the fees paid by our Adviser to our Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement) will compensate our Advisers for their work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. We expect our expenses to fluctuate based upon the amount of assets under management.
We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions, including fees and expenses relating to:
● | corporate and organizational expenses relating to offerings of our common stock, subject to certain limitations; | |
● | the cost of calculating our NAV, including the cost of any third-party valuation services; | |
● | the cost of effecting sales and repurchase of shares of our common stock and other securities; | |
● | fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, monitoring our financial and legal affairs, making investments, and valuing investments, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of prospective investments; | |
● | interest payable on debt, if any; | |
● | investment advisory fees; | |
● | transfer agent and custodial fees; | |
● | fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts; | |
● | federal and state registration fees; | |
● | federal, state and local taxes; | |
● | independent directors’ fees and expenses, including travel expenses; | |
● | costs of director and stockholder meetings, proxy statements, stockholders’ reports and notices; | |
● | cost of fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance and other insurance premiums; | |
● | direct costs such as printing of stockholder reports and advertising or sales materials, mailing, long distance telephone, and staff; | |
● | fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the 1940 Act, and other applicable federal and state securities laws; | |
● | costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and other applicable federal and state securities laws; | |
● | brokerage commissions for our investments; | |
● | all other expenses incurred by our Advisers in performing their obligations, subject to the limitations included in the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement; and | |
● | all other expenses incurred by us or any administrator in connection with administering our business, including payments under any administration agreement that will be based upon our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by any administrator in performing its obligations under any proposed administration agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs. |
During periods of asset growth, we expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable or decline as a percentage of total assets and increase during periods of asset declines.
Base Management Fee, Incentive Fee, Administrative Expense Waiver and Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement
On May 31, 2012, we and our Advisers entered into a conditional fee waiver agreement and subsequent amendments, pursuant to which, for a period from June 4, 2012 to December 31, 2013, our Advisers could waive all fees upon the occurrence of any event that, in our Advisers’ sole discretion, is deemed necessary, including (but not automatically triggered by) our estimate that a distribution declared and payable to our stockholders during the fee waiver period represents, or would represent when paid, a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We refer to this conditional fee waiver agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement”). Further, the agreement contained a clause which states that at the sole and absolute discretion of our board of directors, in future periods, previously waived fees may be paid to our Advisers if and only to the extent that the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations exceeds the amount of cumulative distributions paid to stockholders. The previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by us, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver.
26
On December 30, 2013, we and our Advisers agreed to an amendment to the Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement which extended the term of the fee waiver with respect to our Adviser through December 31, 2014. The terms of the fee waiver were not extended with respect to our Sub-Adviser, whose waiver expired on December 31, 2013 (except with respect to a subordinated incentive fee on income payable for the period October 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 which our Sub-Adviser agreed to waive).
On April 15, 2015, we and our Advisers agreed to a further amendment (the "Fee Waiver Amendment") to the Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement. Under the Fee Waiver Amendment, our Advisers have agreed to extend the term of the fee waiver with respect to our Adviser through December 31, 2015. The terms of the fee waiver were not extended with respect to our Sub-Adviser (except for the subordinated incentive fee on income for the period January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015, which our Sub-Adviser has agreed to waive). Our Adviser has no obligation to waive fees pursuant to the Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement after December 31, 2015 unless the fee waiver period is further extended.
Reimbursement of previously waived fees will only be permitted with the approval of our board of directors and if the operating expense ratio is equal to or less than the operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding fees were waived and if the annualized rate of regular cash distributions to stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the regular cash distributions at the time the corresponding fees were waived.
In a separate agreement between our Adviser and our Sub-Adviser dated April 15, 2015 and effective January 1, 2015, our Sub-Adviser agreed to conditionally reimburse our Adviser for 50% of the fees waived each quarter in 2015, up to $200,000 in total waived fees per quarter. If the total amount conditionally reimbursed by our Sub-Adviser in 2015 is less than both (i) 50% of the fees waived by our Adviser for 2015 excluding any previously reimbursed amounts and (ii) $400,000, then our Sub-Adviser shall reimburse our Adviser, in connection with the payment of management fees to our Sub-Adviser for the fourth quarter of 2015, the difference between (A) 50% of the fees waived by our Adviser for 2015 excluding any previously reimbursed amounts minus (B) any amounts conditionally reimbursed by our Sub-Adviser in 2015, up to a maximum of $400,000 of total conditional reimbursements by our Sub-Adviser.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred base management fees of $4.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and our Advisers waived base management fees of $0 and $821,000, respectively. Accordingly, net of waivers, we paid base management fees of $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and paid base management fees of $821,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred capital gains incentive fees of $0 and $0, respectively, and subordinated incentive fees on income of $155,000 and $0, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Advisers waived capital gains incentive fees of $0 and $0, respectively, and subordinated incentive fees on income of $155,000 and $0, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred base management fees of $11.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and our Advisers waived base management fees of $0 and $1.7 million, respectively. Accordingly, net of waivers, we paid base management fees of $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and paid base management fees of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred capital gains incentive fees of $0 and $0, respectively, and subordinated incentive fees on income of $1.4 million and $0, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Advisers waived capital gains incentive fees of $0 and $0, respectively, and subordinated incentive fees on income of $1.4 million and $0, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we did not record an accrual for any previously waived fees. Any future reimbursement of previously waived fees to our Advisers will not be accrued until the reimbursement of the waived fees become probable and estimable, which will be upon approval of our board of directors. To date, none of the previously waived fees has been approved by our board of directors for reimbursement.
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, we are required to pay or reimburse our Advisers for administrative services expenses, which include all costs and expenses related to our day-to-day administration and management not related to advisory services. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred, and our Advisers waived the reimbursement of, administrative services expenses of $517,000 and $371,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred, and our Advisers waived the reimbursement of, administrative services expenses of $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Our Advisers have agreed to waive the reimbursement of administrative services expenses through December 31, 2015. The waiver of the reimbursement of administrative service expenses is not subject to future reimbursement.
On April 15, 2015, we and our Adviser agreed to an amendment to the 2013 Expense Reimbursement Agreement, (the "2013 Expense Reimbursement Amendment"), in which payment of current base management fees and incentive fees shall have priority over the repayment of the Expense Support Payment to the extent that these fees have not been waived. Under the 2013 Expense
27
Reimbursement Amendment, the repayment of the Expense Support Payment will be considered permanently waived if it has not been reimbursed three years after the Expense Support Payment was made, as described above.
On April 15, 2015, we and our Adviser agreed to an amendment to the 2014 Expense Reimbursement Agreement (the "2014 Expense Reimbursement Amendment"), in which payment of current base management fees and incentive fees shall have priority over the repayment of the 2014 Expense Support Payment to the extent that these fees have not been waived. Under the 2014 Expense Support Amendment, the repayment of the 2014 Expense Support Payment will be considered permanently waived if it has not been reimbursed three years after the 2014 Expense Support Payment was made as described above.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Each of our critical accounting policies involves the use of estimates that require management to make assumptions that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A disclosure of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during 2015.
PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT COMPOSITION
Our Middle Market portfolio investments primarily consist of direct or secondary purchases of interest-bearing debt securities in companies that are generally larger in size than the LMM companies included in our LMM portfolio. While our Middle Market debt investments are generally secured by a first priority lien, 19.0% of the fair value of our Middle Market portfolio is secured by second priority liens.
Our current LMM portfolio consists of debt investments secured by first and second priority liens (67.3% and 3.2% of the total fair value of the LMM portfolio, respectively) on the assets of the portfolio companies and equity investments (29.5% of the total fair value of the LMM portfolio) in privately held LMM companies. The LMM debt investments generally bear interest at fixed rates and mature between five and seven years from the original investment date. The LMM equity investments represent an equity position or the right to acquire an equity position through warrants.
Our Private Loan portfolio primarily consists of debt investments secured by first and second priority liens (90.2% and 9.6% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio) on the assets of the portfolio companies and equity investments (0.2% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio) in two Private Loan companies as of September 30, 2015. The Private Loan debt investments typically have stated terms between three and seven years from the original investment date. The Private Loan equity investments represent an equity position or the right to acquire an equity position through warrants.
Our Other Portfolio investments consist of investments which are not consistent with the typical profiles for LMM, Middle Market and Private Loan portfolio investments, including investments which may be managed by third parties. In the Other Portfolio investments, we may incur indirect fees and expenses in connection with investments managed by third parties, such as investments in other investment companies or private funds.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we funded investment purchases of approximately $534.0 million and had nine investments under contract to purchase as of September 30, 2015, for approximately $39.0 million, which settled or are scheduled to settle after September 30, 2015. We also received proceeds from sales and repayments of existing portfolio investments of approximately $110.8 million including $24.6 million in sales. Additionally, we had two investments under contract to sell as of September 30, 2015, for approximately $2.5 million, which represents the contract sales price. The combined result of which increased our portfolio, on a cost basis, by approximately $414.4 million, or 85.0%, and the number of portfolio investments by 29, or 26.6%, compared to the portfolio as of December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, the largest investment in an individual portfolio company represented approximately 1.9% of our portfolio’s fair value with the remaining investments ranging from 0.001% to 1.9%. The average investment in our portfolio is approximately $6.4 million or 0.7% of the total portfolio. As a result of these transactions, our portfolio has become increasingly diversified across individual portfolio investments, geographic regions, and industries. Further, our total portfolio's investment composition (including our Other Portfolio investments) is comprised of 80.4% first lien debt securities, 16.5% second lien debt securities, with the remainder in unsecured debt investments and equity investments. First lien debt securities have priority over subordinated debt owed by the issuer with respect to the collateral pledged as security for the loan. Due to the relative priority of payment of first lien investments, these generally have lower yields than lower priority, less secured investments.
28
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we made investment purchases of approximately $333.9 million and had 11 investments under contract to purchase as of September 30, 2014 for approximately $44.0 million, which settled after September 30, 2014. We also received proceeds from sales and repayments of existing portfolio investments of approximately $69.4 million including $29.7 million in sales and had two investments under contract to sell as of September 30, 2014 for approximately $2.0 million, which represented the contract sales price.
The result of the aforementioned transactions further diversified our geographic and industry concentrations and based upon our investment rating system, which is described further below, the weighted average rating of our LMM was approximately 3.0 as of both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Lastly, the overall weighted average effective yield on our investment portfolio has increased from 8.1% at December 31, 2014 to 8.3% as of September 30, 2015.

PORTFOLIO ASSET QUALITY
As of September 30, 2015, we owned a diversified portfolio of 137 investments in 116 companies representing a wide range of industries. We believe that this diversity adds to the structural protection of the portfolio, revenue sources, income, cash flows and dividends. The portfolio included the following:
▪ | 83 debt investments in 81 Middle Market portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $688.3 million and a cost basis of approximately $709.7 million. The Middle Market portfolio had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 8.3% and 80.8% of the investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 85.5% of the Middle Market investments bear interest at a variable rate, with a majority of these investments being subject to contractual minimum base interest rates between 100 and 150 basis points. |
▪ | 20 debt investments in 19 Private Loan portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $106.6 million and a cost basis of approximately $111.6 million. The Private Loan portfolio had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 8.4%, which is calculated assuming the investments on non-accrual status are non-yielding, and 90.2% of the Private Loan investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 89.8% of the Private Loan investments bear interest at a variable rate, with a majority of these investments being subject to contractual minimum base interest rates between 100 and 150 basis points. |
▪ | 14 debt investments in 14 LMM portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $54.3 million and a cost basis of approximately $54.2 million. The LMM debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 10.8% and 95.5% of the debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 47.5% of the LMM debt investments are fixed rate investments with fixed interest rates between 8.0% and 12.0%. Further, four LMM debt investments, representing approximately 52.5% of the LMM debt investments, bear interest at a variable rate, with a majority of these investments being subject to contractual minimum base interest rates of 100 basis points. |
▪ | 15 equity investments and five equity warrant investments in 13 LMM portfolio companies, two Private Loan portfolio companies and two Other Portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $27.6 million and a cost basis of approximately $26.5 million. |
Overall, our investment portfolio had a weighted average effective yield of approximately 8.3%, and 80.4% of our total portfolio's investment composition (including our Other Portfolio investments) was secured by first-priority liens.
As of September 30, 2015, we had three investments in two portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status. These companies were in default for failure to pay the combined outstanding principal balances of $8.8 million due upon the maturity of the loans. Our Advisers are currently working with the borrowers to maximize recovery of the amounts borrowed. As of September 30, 2015, these three investments on non-accrual status comprised approximately 0.3% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and 0.9% of the total investment portfolio at cost. As of December 31, 2014, we had two investments in one portfolio company that were on non-accrual status. These two investments on non-accrual status comprised approximately 0.4% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and 0.8% of the total investment portfolio at cost. None of our investments were in default as of December 31, 2014. For those investments in which S&P credit ratings are available, approximately 55.0% of the portfolio, the portfolio had a weighted average effective credit rating of B.
We utilize a rating system developed by our Sub-Adviser to rate the performance of each LMM portfolio company. The investment rating system takes into consideration various factors, including each investment’s expected level of returns, collectability, comparisons to competitors and other industry participants, and the portfolio company’s future outlook.
• | Investment Rating 1 represents a LMM portfolio company that is performing in a manner which significantly exceeds expectations. |
• | Investment Rating 2 represents a LMM portfolio company that, in general, is performing above expectations. |
• | Investment Rating 3 represents a LMM portfolio company that is generally performing in accordance with expectations. All new LMM portfolio investments receive an initial Investment Rating 3. |
• | Investment Rating 4 represents a LMM portfolio company that is underperforming expectations, requiring increased monitoring and scrutiny by us. |
• | Investment Rating 5 represents a LMM portfolio company that is significantly underperforming, requiring heightened levels of monitoring and scrutiny by us and involves the recognition of significant unrealized depreciation on such investment. |

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS COMPARISONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2014
Total Investment Income, Expenses, Net Assets
For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our total investment income was approximately $17.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively, consisting predominately of interest income. As of September 30, 2015 the portfolio had a weighted average annual effective yield on investments of approximately 8.3% compared to 7.8% as of September 30, 2014, and our average investment portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $815.4 million compared to $306.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we accreted approximately $1.1 million and $230,000, respectively, of unearned income into interest income. The increase in interest income was primarily due to the growth in our total portfolio resulting from the investment of additional equity capital raised and borrowings under our Capital One Credit Facility and the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility (together, the "Credit Facilities"). We believe further increases in investment income in future periods may arise due to (i) a growing base of portfolio company investments, and (ii) investments being held for the entire period relative to incremental net investment activity during each quarter.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, expenses, net of base management fee, incentive fee and administrative services expenses waivers and expense support payment, were approximately $7.8 million as compared to expenses of approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in expenses is primarily due to increases in management fees (net of fee waivers) of $3.5 million, interest expense of $2.0 million, and other general and administrative expense of $12,000. Management fees increased due to an increase in the average gross assets of the Company. Interest expense increased due to an increase in the average borrowings during the period. Average borrowings were $349.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $112.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Additionally, interest expense was higher for the three months ended September 30, 2015, due to the increase in amortization of deferred financing costs as a result of costs paid in connection with the Credit Facilities. As of both September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, the annualized interest rate on borrowings was approximately 3%. Other general and administrative expenses increased due to additional banking costs, trade costs and other costs associated with the increase in the overall portfolio size.
Beginning January 1, 2014, our Sub-Adviser no longer waived its fees, except the subordinated incentive fee on income for the period October 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 totaling approximately $226,000 and for the period January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015 totaling approximately $721,000, which our Sub-Adviser has agreed to waive. Our Adviser waived its fees in 2014 in an amount necessary for distributions declared to not represent a return of capital for federal tax purposes. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, our Adviser's management fees were waived, and no incentive fees were accrued or waived during the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the base management and incentive fees, net of fee waivers, were approximately $4.3 million compared to a net fee of $821,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the net decrease in net assets resulting from operations (gross of stockholder distributions declared) was approximately $9.8 million. The decrease was attributable to unrealized depreciation on investments
32
of approximately $19.3 million, realized losses of approximately $17,000 and offset by net investment income of approximately $9.5 million.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the net increase in net assets was approximately $1.8 million. The increase was primarily attributable to net investment income of approximately $3.7 million, realized gains of approximately $65,000 and offset by unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $1.9 million.
RESULTS COMPARISONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2014
Total Investment Income, Expenses, Net Assets
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our total investment income was approximately $44.5 million and $10.5 million, respectively, consisting predominately of interest income. As of September 30, 2015 the portfolio had a weighted average annual effective yield on investments of approximately 8.3% compared to 7.8% as of September 30, 2014, and our average investment portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $691.1 million compared to $205.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we accreted approximately $2.3 million and $642,000, respectively, of unearned income into interest income. The increase in interest income was primarily due to the growth in our total portfolio resulting from the investment of additional equity capital raised and borrowings under the Credit Facilities. We believe further increases in investment income in future periods may arise due to (i) a growing base of portfolio company investments, and (ii) investments being held for the entire period relative to incremental net investment activity during each quarter.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, expenses, net of base management fee, incentive fee and administrative services expenses waivers and expense support payment, were approximately $19.8 million as compared to expenses of approximately $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in expenses is primarily due to increases in management fees (net of fee waivers) of $9.3 million, interest expense of $5.8 million, and other general and administrative expense of $195,000. Management fees increased due to an increase in the average gross assets of the Company. Interest expense increased due to an increase in the average borrowings during the period. Average borrowings were $286.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $66.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Additionally, interest expense was higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, due to the increase in amortization of deferred financing costs as a result of costs paid in connection with the Credit Facilities. As of both September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, the annualized interest rate on borrowings was approximately 3%. Other general and administrative expenses increased due to additional banking costs, trade costs and other costs associated with the increase in the overall portfolio size.
Beginning January 1, 2014, our Sub-Adviser no longer waived its fees, except the subordinated incentive fee on income for the period October 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 totaling approximately $226,000 and for the period January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015 totaling approximately $721,000, which our Sub-Adviser has agreed to waive. Our Adviser waived its fees in 2014 in an amount necessary for distributions declared to not represent a return of capital for federal tax purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our Adviser's management fees were waived, and no incentive fees were accrued or waived during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the base management and incentive fees, net of fee waivers, were approximately $11.0 million compared to a net fee of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations (gross of stockholder distributions declared) was approximately $13.3 million. The increase was attributable to net investment income of approximately $24.7 million, realized gains of approximately $130,000, and offset by unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $11.5 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the net increase in net assets was approximately $4.9 million. The increase was primarily attributable to net investment income of approximately $6.3 million, realized gains of approximately $216,000 and offset by unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $1.6 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.2 million. During that period, approximately $401.4 million of cash was used in our operating activities, which primarily consisted of the purchase of new portfolio investments of $534.0 million, offset by a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $13.3 million and principal repayments from and sales of investments in portfolio companies of
33
$110.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $400.2 million was generated from financing activities, which principally consisted of a net $212.1 million increase in borrowings under the Credit Facilities, and $203.6 million in net Offering proceeds received, offset by $10.6 million in cash distributions paid to stockholders, $1.4 million in cash distributions related to redemption of our common stock and $3.5 million paid for financing costs related to the Credit Facilities amendments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.5 million. During that period, approximately $258.6 million of cash was used in our operating activities, which primarily consisted of the purchase of new portfolio debt investments of $333.9 million, offset by a net increase in net assets resulting from the operations of approximately $4.9 million and principal repayments from and sales of investments in portfolio companies of $69.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately $263.0 million was generated from financing activities, which principally consisted of a net $127.9 million increase in borrowings under the Credit Facilities and $140.8 million in net Offering proceeds received, offset by $3.1 million in cash distributions paid to stockholders and $2.4 million paid for fees related to the Credit Facilities entered into during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Initial Offering
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we raised proceeds of $243.0 million from the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan, and made payments of $20.5 million for selling commissions and dealer manager fees. We also incurred an obligation for $3.6 million of costs related to the Offering.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we raised proceeds of $163.0 million from the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan, and made payments of $14.8 million for selling commissions and dealer manager fees. We also incurred an obligation for $2.4 million of costs related to the Offering.

On September 24, 2015, with the authorization of our board of directors, we declared distributions to our stockholders for the period of October 2015 through December 2015. These distributions have been, or will be, calculated based on stockholders of record each day from October 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 in an amount equal to $0.00191781 per share, per day. Distributions are paid on the first business day following the completion of each month to which they relate.
We have adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for our stockholders. As a result, if we make a distribution, our stockholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock.
We may fund our cash distributions from any sources of funds legally available, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and fee waivers from our Advisers. We have not established any limit on the extent to which we may use borrowings or proceeds from the Offering to fund distributions. Our distributions may exceed our earnings, especially during the period before we have
34
substantially invested the proceeds from the Offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors.
In order to satisfy the Code requirements applicable to a RIC, we must distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our taxable income on an annual basis. However, we may elect to spill over certain excess undistributed taxable income from one taxable year into the next taxable year, which would require us to pay a 4% non-deductible excise tax on such excess undistributed taxable income. In 2014, we estimated that approximately $59,000, or $0.0019 per share, of our taxable income for 2014 will be distributed in 2015, prior to the filing of our U.S. federal income tax return for our 2014 taxable year. We anticipate none of this will be subject to the 4% nondeductible excise tax. In order to avoid excise tax, we need to distribute, in respect of each calendar year dividends of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our Capital Gain Net Income, adjusted for certain ordinary losses, for the one year period ending on October 31st of such calendar year (or, if we so elect, for the calendar year) and (3) any net ordinary income and Capital Gain Net Income for the preceding calendar years that was not distributed during such calendar years and on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax.
Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $18.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and our NAV totaled approximately $467.1 million equating to approximately $8.35 per share. The change from the December 31, 2014 NAV per share of $8.40 was largely due to the unrealized depreciation on investments in the portfolio. The unrealized depreciation on investments in our portfolio was primarily driven by the broad price declines in the high yield bond and leveraged loan markets and by the effect of declining oil prices on our investments in the oil and gas sector.
We anticipate that we will continue to fund our investment activities through existing cash, capital raised from our Offering, and borrowings on the Credit Facilities. Our primary uses of funds in both the short-term and long-term will be investments in portfolio companies, operating expenses and cash distributions to holders of our common stock.
As of September 30, 2015, we had $105.0 million outstanding and $20.0 million available under our Capital One Credit Facility, and $290.0 million outstanding and $70.0 million available under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, both of which we estimated approximated fair value and subject to certain limitations and the asset coverage restrictions under the 1940 Act.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we raised proceeds of $243.0 million from the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan, and made payments of $20.5 million for selling commissions and dealer manager fees. We also incurred an obligation of $3.6 million of costs related to the Offering.
As a BDC, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities, which include borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. As of September 30, 2015, our asset coverage ratio under BDC regulations was 210% when including unfunded commitments as a senior security. As of December 31, 2014, our asset coverage ratio under BDC regulations was 242%. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. As of September 30, 2015, considering these limitations, we had the ability to draw upon the entire $90.0 million of remaining capacity in the Credit Facilities.
Although we have been able to secure access to potential additional liquidity, through proceeds from the Offering and also by entering into the Credit Facilities, there is no assurance that equity or debt capital will be available to us in the future on favorable terms, or at all.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and our Dealer Manager, whereby we pay certain fees and reimbursements to these entities. These include payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions and the Dealer Manager fee and payments to our Adviser for reimbursement of Offering costs. In addition, we make payments for certain services that include the identification, execution, and management of our investments and also the management of our day-to-day operations provided to us by our Adviser and Sub-Adviser, pursuant to various agreements that we have entered into. See Note 9-Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to the financial statements included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding related party transactions.
Contractual Obligations
35
As of September 30, 2015, we had $395.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facilities. Unless extended, our Capital One Credit Facility will expire March 11, 2017, and the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility will mature on June 16, 2020. Our Capital One Credit Facility has two, one-year extension options, with lender approval that, if approved and exercised, would permit us to extend the maturity to March 11, 2019. See Note 4-Borrowings to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q for a description of the Credit Facilities.
A summary of our significant contractual payment obligations for the repayment of outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2015 is as follows:

At December 31, 2014, we had $6.4 million in outstanding commitments comprised of (i) four commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans that had not been funded and (ii) one capital commitment that had not been fully called.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, in particular changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect our interest income from portfolio investments, the fair value of our fixed income investments, and our cost of funding.
Our interest income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates, to the extent any of our debt investments include floating interest rates. We generally invest in floating rate debt instruments, meaning that the interest rate payable on such instrument resets periodically based upon changes in a specified interest rate index, typically the one-month LIBOR. As of September 30, 2015, approximately 84.0% of our LMM, Private Loan, and Middle Market portfolio debt investments (based on cost) contained floating interest rates. At September 30, 2015, the one-month LIBOR was approximately 0.2%. However, many of our investments provide that the specified interest rate index on such instruments will never fall below a level, or floor, generally between 100 and 150 basis points, equal to 1.0% to 1.5%, regardless of the level of the specified index rate. Given that most floating rate debt investments have index floors at or above 100 basis points, a decline in index rates is not expected to result in a change to interest income.
In addition, any fluctuations in prevailing interest rates may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments and result in changes in unrealized gains and losses, and may also affect a net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations. Such changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation will materialize into realized gains and losses if we sell our investments before their respective debt maturity dates.
Further, because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income is partially dependent upon the difference between the interest rate at which we invest borrowed funds and the interest rate at which we borrow funds. In periods of rising interest rates and when we have borrowed capital with floating interest rates, our interest expense will increase, which will increase our financing costs and reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed-rate debt investments. 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.
The following table shows the approximate annualized increase or decrease (dollars in thousands) in the components of net investment income due to hypothetical interest rate index changes, assuming no changes in our investments and borrowings as of September 30, 2015.
Change in interest rates | Increase (Decrease) in Interest Income | Increase (Decrease) in Interest Expense | Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Investment Income | |||||||||
Down 20 basis points | $ | (17 | ) | $ | (790 | ) | $ | 773 | ||||
Up 100 basis points | 1,237 | 3,950 | (2,713 | ) | ||||||||
Up 200 basis points | 8,305 | 7,900 | 405 | |||||||||
Up 300 basis points | 15,550 | 11,850 | 3,700 |
Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of our existing sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for changes in the credit market, credit quality, the size and composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments, including borrowing under the Credit Facilities or other borrowings, that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, we can offer no assurances that actual results would not differ materially from the analysis above.
If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of September 30, 2015, we had not entered into any interest rate hedging arrangements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
In accordance with Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
37
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2015, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
No change occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act), during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, that we filed with the SEC on March 4, 2015, except as described below.
Risks Related to Our Investments
Our investments in prospective portfolio companies, which tend to be senior secured term loans, senior lien loans and mezzanine debt and selected equity investments, may be risky, and we could lose all or part of our investment.
We pursue a strategy focused on investing primarily in senior secured term loans, second lien loans and mezzanine debt and selected equity investments issued by Middle Market companies.
Senior Secured Loans and Second Lien Loans. When we make senior secured term loans and second lien loans, we will generally take a security interest in the available assets of these portfolio companies, including the equity interests of their subsidiaries. We expect this security interest to help mitigate the risk that we will not be repaid. However, there is a risk that the collateral securing our loans may decrease in value over time or lose its entire value, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the portfolio company to raise additional capital. Also, in some circumstances, our lien could be subordinated to claims of other creditors. In addition, deterioration in a portfolio company’s financial condition and prospects, including its inability to raise additional capital, may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the collateral for the loan. Finally, applicable bankruptcy laws may adversely impact the timing and methods used by us to liquidate collateral securing our loans, which could adversely affect the collectability of such loans. Consequently, the fact that a loan is secured does not guarantee that we will receive principal and interest payments according to the loan’s terms, or at all, or that we will be able to collect on the loan should we be forced to enforce our remedies.
Mezzanine Debt. Our mezzanine debt investments will generally be subordinated to senior loans and will generally be unsecured. This may result in a heightened level of risk and volatility or a loss of principal which could lead to the loss of the entire investment. Most loans in which we invest will not be rated, or would be if they were rated by a rating agency, as “below investment grade,” or "junk," quality. Indebtedness of below investment grade quality is regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. These investments may involve additional risks that could adversely affect our investment returns. We expect to hold debt and preferred equity instruments in our investment portfolio that contain PIK interest and cumulative dividend provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each debt agreement, is periodically added to the principal balance of the debt and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of this interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. If the debt principal is not repaid in full, then PIK interest will likewise be partially or wholly uncollectible. If our Adviser has collected a fee on an investment that provides for PIK interest, and such investment fails, our Adviser would not be required to re-pay the fee that it received with respect to that investment. To the extent interest payments associated with such debt are deferred, such debt may be subject to greater fluctuations in valuations,
38
and such debt could subject us and our stockholders to non-cash income. Since we will not receive any principal repayments prior to the maturity of some of our mezzanine debt investments, such investments will be of greater risk than amortizing loans.
Equity Investments. We expect to make certain equity investments. In addition, when we invest in first and second lien senior loans or mezzanine debt, we may acquire warrants to purchase equity securities. Our goal is ultimately to dispose of these equity interests and realize gains upon our disposition of such interests. However, the equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and could decline in value. Accordingly, we may not be able to realize gains from our equity interests, and any gains that we do realize on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses we experience.
In addition, investing in private companies involves a number of significant risks, including that they:
• | may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their debt securities that we hold, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a reduction in the likelihood of us realizing any guarantees we may have obtained in connection with our investment; |
• | have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors’ actions and changing market conditions, as well as general economic downturns; |
• | are more likely to depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of persons; therefore, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on our portfolio company and, in turn, on us; |
• | generally have less predictable operating results, may from time to time be parties to litigation, may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, and may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position. In addition, our officers and directors and employees of our Advisers may, in the ordinary course of business, be named as defendants in litigation arising from our investments in the portfolio companies; and |
• | may have difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet future capital needs, which may limit their ability to grow or to repay their outstanding indebtedness upon maturity. |
