Organization and Operations of the Company | Note 1. Organization and Operations of the Company |
TriLinc Global Impact Fund, LLC (the “Company”) was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on April 30, 2012 and formally commenced operations on June 11, 2013. The Company makes impact investments in Small and Medium Enterprises, known as SMEs, primarily in developing economies that provide the opportunity to achieve both competitive financial returns and positive measurable impact. The Company uses the proceeds raised from the issuance of units to invest in SMEs through local market sub-advisors in a diversified portfolio of financial assets, including direct loans, convertible debt instruments, trade finance, structured credit and preferred and common equity investments. The Company’s investment objectives are to generate current income, capital preservation and modest capital appreciation primarily through investments in SMEs. The Company is externally managed by TriLinc Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). The Advisor is an investment advisor registered in the State of California. | |
TriLinc Global, LLC (the “Sponsor”) owns 85% of the units of the Advisor, and is the sponsor of the Company. Strategic Capital Advisory Services, LLC (“SCAS”) owns 15% of the Advisor, and is considered an affiliate of the Company. The Sponsor employs staff who operate both the Advisor and the Company. The Sponsor, the Advisor and SCAS are Delaware limited liability companies. | |
In May 2012, the Advisor purchased 22,160.665 Class A units for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000. The Company commenced its initial public offering of up to $1,500,000,000 in units of limited liability company interest (the “Offering”) on February 25, 2013. On June 11, 2013, the Company satisfied its minimum offering requirement of $2,000,000 when the Sponsor purchased 321,329.639 Class A units for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,900,000 and the Company commenced operations. In February 2015, the Company elected to extend its current offering period for up to an additional one year period, expiring on February 25, 2016. | |
Although the Company was organized and intends to conduct its business in a manner so that it is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the consolidated financial statements are prepared using the specialized accounting principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. Overall, the Company’s management believes the use of investment company accounting makes the Company’s financial statements more useful to investors and other financial statement users since it allows a more appropriate basis of comparison to other entities with similar objectives. | |
To assist the Company in achieving its investment objective, the Company makes investments via wholly owned subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s subsidiaries are TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Asia, Ltd. (“TGIF-A”), TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Latin America, Ltd. (“TGIF-LA”), TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Trade Finance, Ltd. (“TGIF-TF”), and TriLinc Global Impact Fund – African Trade Finance, Ltd. (“TGIF-ATF”), all of which are Cayman Islands exempted companies. To assist the Advisor in managing the Company and its subsidiaries, the Advisor may provide services via TriLinc Advisors International, Ltd. (“TAI”), a Cayman Islands exempted company that is wholly owned by TriLinc Advisors, LLC. Through March 31, 2015, the Company has made, through its subsidiaries, loans in several countries located in South America, Asia and Africa. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | ||
The Company’s financial information is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the functional and reporting currency of the Company and all its subsidiaries. | ||
The interim consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. 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 omitted herein. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated 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 (“SEC”) on March 27, 2015. | ||
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that ultimately may be achieved for the full year ending December 31, 2015. | ||
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which were established to hold certain investments of the Company. The Company owns 100% of each subsidiary and, as such, the subsidiaries are consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Transactions between subsidiaries, to the extent they occur, are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. | ||
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. | ||
Cash | ||
Cash consists of demand deposits at a financial institution. Such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company considers the credit risk of this financial institution to be remote and has not experienced and does not expect to experience any losses in any such accounts. | ||
Prepaid expenses | ||
Prepaid expenses represent prepaid insurance paid by the Company during 2014. Prepaid insurance is being amortized over the term of the insurance policy which is one year. The amortization of prepaid expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is reimbursable to the Company by the Sponsor under the Amended and Restated Operating Expense Responsibility Agreement. | ||
Revenue Recognition | ||
The Company records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest on loans for accounting purposes if there is reason to doubt the ability to collect such interest. Structuring, upfront and similar fees are recorded as a discount on investments purchased and are accreted into interest income, on a straight line basis, which the Company has determined not to be materially different from the effective yield method. | ||
The Company records prepayment fees for loans and debt securities paid back to the Company prior to the maturity date as income upon receipt. | ||
The Company places loans on non-accrual status when principal and interest are past due 90 days or more or when there is a reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment of the financial condition of the borrower. Non-accrual loans are generally restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Company’s management’s judgment, is likely to remain current over the remainder of the term. | ||
Valuation of Investments | ||
The Company applies fair value accounting to all of its investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its investments into a three-level fair value hierarchy as discussed in Note 4. | ||
ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that 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. | ||
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 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. | |
· | Level 2 — Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable. | |
· | Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and is based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the market or income approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence. | |
The inputs used in the determination of fair value may require significant judgment or estimation. | ||
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at those quotations. Most of the Company’s investments are loans to private companies, which are not actively traded in any market and for which quotations are not available. For those investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or when such market quotations are deemed by the Advisor not to represent fair value, the Company’s board of managers has approved a multi-step valuation process to be followed each fiscal quarter, as described below: | ||
1 | Each investment is valued by the Advisor in collaboration with the relevant sub-advisor; | |
2 | For all investments with a maturity of greater than 12 months, the Company has engaged Duff & Phelps, LLC (“Duff & Phelps”) to conduct a review on the reasonableness of the Company’s internal estimates of fair value on each asset on a quarterly rotating basis, with each of such investments being reviewed at least annually, and provide an opinion that the Advisor’s estimate of fair value for each investment is reasonable; | |
3 | The audit committee of the Company’s board of managers reviews and discusses the preliminary valuation prepared by the Advisor and any opinion rendered by Duff & Phelps; and | |
4 | The board of managers discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Advisor, Duff & Phelps and the audit committee. The board of managers is ultimately responsible for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of each investment. | |
Below is a description of factors that the Company’s board of managers may consider when valuing the Company’s investments. | ||
Fixed income investments are typically valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including the sale of a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, interest and principal payments) to a single present value amount (discounted) calculated based on an appropriate discount rate. The measurement is based on the net present value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in valuing the Company’s investments include, as applicable: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the borrower’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, the principal market for the borrower’s securities and an estimate of the borrower’s enterprise value, among other factors. | ||
The Company may also look to private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party investments in the portfolio companies or industry practices in determining fair value. The Company may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses, as well as any other factors the Company deems relevant in measuring the fair values of the Company’s investments. | ||
Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments | ||
The Company measures net realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale on investments and the amortized cost basis of the investment including unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Realized gains or losses on the disposition of an investment are calculated using the first in first out (FIFO) method, utilizing the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized. | ||
Payment-in-Kind Interest | ||
The Company may have investments that contain a payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest provision. For loans with contractual PIK interest, any interest will be added to the principal balance of such investments and be recorded as income, if the valuation indicates that such interest is collectible. | ||
Income Taxes | ||
The Company, as a limited liability company, allocates all income or loss to its unitholders according to their respective percentage of ownership. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been included in these financial statements. | ||
The Company may be subject to withholding taxes on income and capital gains imposed by certain countries in which the Company invests. The withholding tax on income is netted against the income accrued or received. Any reclaimable taxes are recorded as income. The withholding tax on realized or unrealized gain is recorded as a liability. | ||
The Company follows the guidance for uncertainty in income taxes included in the ASC 740, Income Taxes. This guidance requires the Company to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. | ||
As of March 31, 2015, no tax liability for uncertain tax provision had been recognized in the accompanying financial statements nor did the Company recognize any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The earliest year that the Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination is the period ending December 31, 2012. | ||
Unitholders are individually responsible for reporting income or loss, to the extent required by the federal and state income tax laws and regulations, based upon their respective share of the Company’s income and expense as reported for income tax purposes. | ||
Calculation of Net Asset Value | ||
The Company’s net asset value is calculated on a quarterly basis and commenced with respect to the first full quarter after the Company commenced operations. The Company calculates its net asset value per unit by subtracting total liabilities from the total value of the Company’s assets on the date of valuation and dividing the result by the total number of outstanding units on the date of valuation. The net asset value per Class A, Class C and Class I units are calculated on a pro-rata basis based on units outstanding. | ||
Net Income (Loss) per Unit | ||
Basic net income (loss) per unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of members’ units outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of members’ units and members’ unit equivalents outstanding during the period. The Company did not have any potentially dilutive units outstanding at March 31, 2015 and 2014. | ||
Organization and Offering Costs | ||
The Sponsor has incurred organization and offering costs on behalf of the Company. Organization and offering costs are reimbursable to the Sponsor to the extent the aggregate of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs do not exceed 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds (the “O&O Reimbursement Limit”) raised from the offering and will be accrued and payable by the Company only to the extent that such costs do not exceed the O&O Reimbursement Limit. Reimbursement of organization and offering costs that exceed the O&O Reimbursement Limit will be expensed in the period they become reimbursable, which is dependent on the gross offering proceeds raised in such period, and are therefore not included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. These expense reimbursements are subject to regulatory caps and approval by the Company’s board of managers. If the Company sells the maximum amount of the Offering, it anticipates that such expenses will equal approximately 1.25% of the gross proceeds raised. However, such expenses are likely to exceed this percentage because the Offering is now due to terminate on February 25, 2016. Reimbursements to the Sponsor are included as a reduction to net assets on the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets. | ||
The Company may reimburse the dealer manager for certain expenses that are deemed underwriting compensation. Assuming an aggregate selling commission and a dealer manager fee of 9.75% of the gross offering proceeds (which assumes all offering proceeds come from Class A units), the Company would reimburse the dealer manager in an amount up to 0.25% of the gross offering proceeds. Because the aggregate selling commission and dealer manager fees will be less than 9.75% of the gross offering proceeds due to a portion of the offering proceeds coming from the sale of Class C and Class I units, the Company may reimburse the dealer manager for expenses in an amount greater than 0.25% of the gross offering proceeds, provided that the Company will not pay or reimburse any of the foregoing costs to the extent such payment would cause total underwriting compensation to exceed 10.0% of the gross proceeds of the primary offering as of the termination of the Offering, as required by the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). | ||
Operating Expense Responsibility Agreement | ||
On May 11, 2015, the Company, Advisor and the Sponsor entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Expense Responsibility Agreement (“Responsibility Agreement”) originally effective as of June 11, 2013 and covering expenses through March 31, 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the Responsibility Agreement, the Sponsor has paid expenses on behalf of the Company through March 31, 2015 and will additionally pay the accrued operating expenses of the Company as of March 31, 2015 on behalf of the Company. Such expenses will not be reimbursable to the Sponsor until the Company has raised $200 million of gross proceeds, provided any such reimbursement during the period in which the Company is offering units in the Offering will not cause the Company’s Net Asset Value per unit to fall below the prior quarter’s Net Asset Value per unit (the “Gross Proceeds Hurdle”). To the extent the Company does not meet the Gross Proceeds Hurdle in any quarter, no amount will be payable by the Company for reimbursement to the Sponsor. Therefore, expenses of the Company covered by the Responsibility Agreement have not been recorded as expenses of the Company as of March 31, 2015.

Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), emerging growth companies can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company is choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates. There are no new or revised accounting standards that the Company has not adopted. | ||
In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Financial Services—Investment Companies: Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2013-08”). ASU 2013-08 amends the current criteria for an entity to qualify as an investment company, creates new disclosure requirements and amends the measurement criteria for certain interests in other investment companies. ASU 2013-08 was effective on January 1, 2014, and did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | ||
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Under the new guidance, 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 the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of the amended guidance in ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements. | ||
Risk Factors | ||
The Company has limited operating history and is subject to the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business. As an externally-managed Company, the Company is largely dependent on the efforts of the Advisor and other service providers. | ||
The Company is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Global economies and capital markets can and have experienced significant volatility, which has increased the risks associated with investments in collateralized private debt instruments. Investment in the Company carries risk and there are no guarantees that the Company’s investment objectives will be achieved. The Company is also exposed to credit risk related to maintaining all of its cash at a major financial institution. | ||
The Company’s investments consist of loans, loan participations and trade finance that are illiquid and non-traded, making purchase or sale of such financial instruments at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult. Furthermore, the sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely difficult to value any such investments accurately. | ||
The value of the Company’s investments in loans may be detrimentally affected to the extent, among other things, that a borrower defaults on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral securing the loan and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted loan, observable secondary or primary market yields for similar instruments issued by comparable companies increase materially or risk premiums required in the market between smaller companies, such as the Company’s borrowers, and those for which market yields are observable increase materially | ||
At March 31, 2015, the Company’s investment portfolio included 19 companies and was comprised of $5,750,000 or 9.4% in senior secured term loan participations, and $55,674,938 or 90.6% in senior secured trade finance participations. The Company’s largest loan by value was $11,215,349 or 18.3% of total investments. The Company’s 5 largest loans by value comprised 60.6% of the Company’s portfolio at March 31, 2015. Participation in loans amounted to 100% of the Company’s total portfolio at March 31, 2015. | ||

During 2014, the Company restructured two loans with one of its borrowers, Corporacion Prodesa S.R.L. (“Prodesa”). The Company’s investment in Prodesa is comprised of two senior secured term loan participations with an aggregate balance of $2,750,000 as of March 31, 2015. Prodesa did not timely make the payments that were due in March and April 2015 under the two loans due to economic difficulties. The Company is working with Prodesa to remedy the default and bring the loans to a current status. On May 6, 2015, the Company entered into a short term forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with Prodesa to provide Prodesa with temporary loan payment relief while a longer term plan is negotiated. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company agreed to accept partial interest payments, amounting to $29,165 for March and April, which was received by the Company on May 12, 2015, and $14,830 for May 2015. The unpaid interest will be included as part of the longer term plan. Prodesa is currently undergoing a change in ownership. Through the month of April 2015, the new intended owner has injected over $600,000 in Prodesa for working capital purposes. | |||||||||||||||||

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, with respect to the restructured loans to Prodesa, the Company has chosen to determine their estimated fair value based on a collateral valuation approach. The Company’s decision to do so was not based upon a belief that the Company will need to liquidate the collateral securing the loans to Prodesa, but rather because of delays in obtaining audited financial statements. In contrast, the Company has recently conducted onsite interviews to corroborate the collateral and as such, continue to believe in the reliability of the collateral and its associated estimated value. Once the Company receives audited financial statements, the Company may once again return to an income approach to estimate the fair value of the loans to Prodesa. | ||||||||||||||||||

Agreements | |
Advisory Agreement | |
On March 24, 2015, the Company renewed the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement with the Advisor for an additional one-year term. | |
Asset management fees payable to the Advisor are remitted quarterly in arrears and are equal to 0.50% (2.00% per annum) of Gross Asset Value, as defined in the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Advisor. Asset management fees are paid to the Advisor in exchange for fund management and administrative services. Although the Advisor manages, on the Company’s behalf, many of the risks associated with global investments in developing economies, management fees do not include the cost of any hedging instruments or insurance policies that may be required to appropriately manage the Company’s risk. If certain financial goals are reached by the Company, the Company is required to pay the Advisor an incentive fee on net investment income and an incentive fee on capital gains. The incentive fee on net investment income, or the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and is based upon the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. No subordinated incentive fee is earned by the Advisor in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the quarterly preferred return rate of 1.50% (6.00% annualized) (the “Preferred Return”). In any quarter, all of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the quarterly Preferred Return, but is less than or equal to 1.875% (7.50% annualized) at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, is payable to the Advisor. For any quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 1.875% on its net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, the incentive fee on income equals 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income. | |
An incentive fee on capital gains will be earned on investments sold and shall be determined and payable to the Advisor in arrears as of the end of each calendar year. The incentive fee on capital gains is equal to 20% of the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees on capital gains. The Company had no capital gains and therefore did not accrue an incentive fee for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. | |
Transactions | |
As discussed in Note 2, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Sponsor assumed responsibility for $719,265 and $683,772 of the Company’s operating expenses, management fees and incentive fees, which are deferred under the Responsibility Agreement. | |
For three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Advisor earned $361,748 and $109,079, respectively, in management fees and $277,180 and $57,955, respectively, in incentive fees. | |
Since the inception of the Company through March 31, 2015, pursuant to the terms of the Responsibility Agreement, the Sponsor has paid approximately $3,431,900 of operating expenses, management fees, and incentive fees on behalf of the Company and will pay or reimburse to the Company an additional $1,399,700 of expenses, which have been accrued by the Sponsor as of March 31, 2015. Such expenses, in the aggregate of $4,831,600 since the Company’s inception, will be expensed and payable by the Company to the Sponsor once the Company has raised gross proceeds of $200 million, provided any such reimbursement during the period in which the Company is offering units in the Offering will not cause the Company’s net asset value per unit to fall below the prior quarter’s net asset value per unit, as further described in Note 2. | |
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, due from affiliates on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amounts of $1,120,636 and $791,088, respectively, was due from the Sponsor in connection with the Responsibility Agreement for operating expenses which were paid by the Company, but, under the terms of the Responsibility Agreement, are the responsibility of the Sponsor. The timing of the repayment of this receivable is at the discretion of the Sponsor. | |
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company paid $187,174 and $87,469, respectively, in dealer manager fees and $569,046 and $318,954, respectively, in selling commissions to the Company’s dealer manager, SC Distributors, LLC. These fees and commissions were paid in connection with the sales of the Company’s units to investors and, as such, were recorded against the proceeds from the issuance of units and are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. | |
On March 31, 2014, the Sponsor made a capital contribution to the Company in the amount of $31,750 to cover the amount of distributions paid by the Company that were in excess of net investment income. |

Beginning June 11, 2014, the Company commenced a unit repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may conduct quarterly unit repurchases of up to 5% of the weighted average number of outstanding units in any 12-month period to allow the Company’s unitholders, who have held units for a minimum of one year, to sell their units back to the Company at a price equal to the then current offering price less the sales fees associated with that class of units. The unit repurchase program includes numerous restrictions, including a one-year holding period, that limit the ability of the Company’s unitholders to sell their units. Unless the Company’s board of managers determines otherwise, the Company will limit the number of units to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of units that can be repurchased with the proceeds the Company receives from the sale of units under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. At the sole discretion of the Company’s board of managers, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the repayment or liquidation of investments as of the end of the applicable quarter to repurchase units. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company received one repurchase request for 2,373 Class C units during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The repurchase request was processed on April 8, 2015 at a repurchase price of $9.025 per unit. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Note 10. Subsequent Events |
The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included herein. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in the Form 10-Q or would be required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015, except as discussed below. | |
Distributions | |
On April 22, 2015, with the authorization of the Company’s board of managers, the Company declared distributions for all classes of units for the period from April 1 through April 30, 2015. These distributions were calculated based on unitholders of record for each day in an amount equal to $0.00197808 per unit per day (less the distribution fee with respect to Class C units). On May 1, 2015, $339,463 of these distributions were paid in cash and on April 30, 2015, $169,836 were reinvested in units for those unitholders participating in the Distribution Reinvestment Plan. | |
Status of the Offering | |
Subsequent to March 31, 2015 through May 12, 2015, the Company sold approximately 585,900 units in the Offering (including units issued pursuant to the Distribution Reinvestment Plan) for approximately $5,662,000 in gross proceeds. | |
Unit Offering Price | |
Pursuant to the net asset value determination by the Company’s board of managers, the value has not increased above nor decreased below the Company’s net proceeds per unit; therefore, the Company will continue to sell units at a price of $10.00 per Class A unit, $9.576 per Class C unit and $9.186 per Class I unit. The Company’s net asset value and the offering prices would have decreased if the Sponsor had not made a capital contribution in the amount of $31,750 and $51,034 in the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, or had not absorbed and deferred reimbursement for a substantial portion of the Company’s operating expenses since the Company began its operations. | |
Investments | |
Subsequent to March 31, 2015 through May 12, 2015, the Company funded approximately $14.2 million in new loans and received proceeds from repayment of loans of approximately $4.0 million. | |
Agreements | |
On May 11, 2015, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Expenses Responsibility Agreement with the Company’s Sponsor and Advisor. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, the Sponsor agreed to be responsible for the Company’s cumulative operating expenses incurred through March 31, 2015, including management and incentive fees earned by the Advisor during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation | |
The Company’s financial information is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the functional and reporting currency of the Company and all its subsidiaries. | ||
The interim consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. 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 omitted herein. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated 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 (“SEC”) on March 27, 2015. | ||
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that ultimately may be achieved for the full year ending December 31, 2015. | ||
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which were established to hold certain investments of the Company. The Company owns 100% of each subsidiary and, as such, the subsidiaries are consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Transactions between subsidiaries, to the extent they occur, are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. | ||
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. | ||
Cash | Cash | |
Cash consists of demand deposits at a financial institution. Such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company considers the credit risk of this financial institution to be remote and has not experienced and does not expect to experience any losses in any such accounts. | ||
Prepaid Expenses | Prepaid expenses | |
Prepaid expenses represent prepaid insurance paid by the Company during 2014. Prepaid insurance is being amortized over the term of the insurance policy which is one year. The amortization of prepaid expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is reimbursable to the Company by the Sponsor under the Amended and Restated Operating Expense Responsibility Agreement. | ||
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition | |
The Company records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest on loans for accounting purposes if there is reason to doubt the ability to collect such interest. Structuring, upfront and similar fees are recorded as a discount on investments purchased and are accreted into interest income, on a straight line basis, which the Company has determined not to be materially different from the effective yield method. | ||
The Company records prepayment fees for loans and debt securities paid back to the Company prior to the maturity date as income upon receipt. | ||
The Company places loans on non-accrual status when principal and interest are past due 90 days or more or when there is a reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment of the financial condition of the borrower. Non-accrual loans are generally restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Company’s management’s judgment, is likely to remain current over the remainder of the term. | ||
Valuation of Investments | Valuation of Investments | |
The Company applies fair value accounting to all of its investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its investments into a three-level fair value hierarchy as discussed in Note 4. | ||
ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that 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. | ||
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 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. | |
· | Level 2 — Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable. | |
· | Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and is based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the market or income approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence. | |
The inputs used in the determination of fair value may require significant judgment or estimation. | ||
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at those quotations. Most of the Company’s investments are loans to private companies, which are not actively traded in any market and for which quotations are not available. For those investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or when such market quotations are deemed by the Advisor not to represent fair value, the Company’s board of managers has approved a multi-step valuation process to be followed each fiscal quarter, as described below: | ||
1 | Each investment is valued by the Advisor in collaboration with the relevant sub-advisor; | |
2 | For all investments with a maturity of greater than 12 months, the Company has engaged Duff & Phelps, LLC (“Duff & Phelps”) to conduct a review on the reasonableness of the Company’s internal estimates of fair value on each asset on a quarterly rotating basis, with each of such investments being reviewed at least annually, and provide an opinion that the Advisor’s estimate of fair value for each investment is reasonable; | |
3 | The audit committee of the Company’s board of managers reviews and discusses the preliminary valuation prepared by the Advisor and any opinion rendered by Duff & Phelps; and | |
4 | The board of managers discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Advisor, Duff & Phelps and the audit committee. The board of managers is ultimately responsible for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of each investment. | |
Below is a description of factors that the Company’s board of managers may consider when valuing the Company’s investments. | ||
Fixed income investments are typically valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including the sale of a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, interest and principal payments) to a single present value amount (discounted) calculated based on an appropriate discount rate. The measurement is based on the net present value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in valuing the Company’s investments include, as applicable: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the borrower’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, the principal market for the borrower’s securities and an estimate of the borrower’s enterprise value, among other factors. | ||
The Company may also look to private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party investments in the portfolio companies or industry practices in determining fair value. The Company may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses, as well as any other factors the Company deems relevant in measuring the fair values of the Company’s investments. | ||
Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments | Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments | |
The Company measures net realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale on investments and the amortized cost basis of the investment including unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Realized gains or losses on the disposition of an investment are calculated using the first in first out (FIFO) method, utilizing the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized. | ||
Payment-in-Kind Interest | Payment-in-Kind Interest | |
The Company may have investments that contain a payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest provision. For loans with contractual PIK interest, any interest will be added to the principal balance of such investments and be recorded as income, if the valuation indicates that such interest is collectible. | ||
Income Taxes | Income Taxes | |
The Company, as a limited liability company, allocates all income or loss to its unitholders according to their respective percentage of ownership. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been included in these financial statements. | ||
The Company may be subject to withholding taxes on income and capital gains imposed by certain countries in which the Company invests. The withholding tax on income is netted against the income accrued or received. Any reclaimable taxes are recorded as income. The withholding tax on realized or unrealized gain is recorded as a liability. | ||
The Company follows the guidance for uncertainty in income taxes included in the ASC 740, Income Taxes. This guidance requires the Company to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. | ||
As of March 31, 2015, no tax liability for uncertain tax provision had been recognized in the accompanying financial statements nor did the Company recognize any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The earliest year that the Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination is the period ending December 31, 2012. | ||
Unitholders are individually responsible for reporting income or loss, to the extent required by the federal and state income tax laws and regulations, based upon their respective share of the Company’s income and expense as reported for income tax purposes. | ||
Calculation of Net Asset Value | Calculation of Net Asset Value | |
The Company’s net asset value is calculated on a quarterly basis and commenced with respect to the first full quarter after the Company commenced operations. The Company calculates its net asset value per unit by subtracting total liabilities from the total value of the Company’s assets on the date of valuation and dividing the result by the total number of outstanding units on the date of valuation. The net asset value per Class A, Class C and Class I units are calculated on a pro-rata basis based on units outstanding. | ||
Net Income (Loss) per Unit | Net Income (Loss) per Unit | |
Basic net income (loss) per unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of members’ units outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of members’ units and members’ unit equivalents outstanding during the period. The Company did not have any potentially dilutive units outstanding at March 31, 2015 and 2014. | ||
Organization and Offering Costs | Organization and Offering Costs | |
The Sponsor has incurred organization and offering costs on behalf of the Company. Organization and offering costs are reimbursable to the Sponsor to the extent the aggregate of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs do not exceed 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds (the “O&O Reimbursement Limit”) raised from the offering and will be accrued and payable by the Company only to the extent that such costs do not exceed the O&O Reimbursement Limit. Reimbursement of organization and offering costs that exceed the O&O Reimbursement Limit will be expensed in the period they become reimbursable, which is dependent on the gross offering proceeds raised in such period, and are therefore not included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. These expense reimbursements are subject to regulatory caps and approval by the Company’s board of managers. If the Company sells the maximum amount of the Offering, it anticipates that such expenses will equal approximately 1.25% of the gross proceeds raised. However, such expenses are likely to exceed this percentage because the Offering is now due to terminate on February 25, 2016. Reimbursements to the Sponsor are included as a reduction to net assets on the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets. | ||
The Company may reimburse the dealer manager for certain expenses that are deemed underwriting compensation. Assuming an aggregate selling commission and a dealer manager fee of 9.75% of the gross offering proceeds (which assumes all offering proceeds come from Class A units), the Company would reimburse the dealer manager in an amount up to 0.25% of the gross offering proceeds. Because the aggregate selling commission and dealer manager fees will be less than 9.75% of the gross offering proceeds due to a portion of the offering proceeds coming from the sale of Class C and Class I units, the Company may reimburse the dealer manager for expenses in an amount greater than 0.25% of the gross offering proceeds, provided that the Company will not pay or reimburse any of the foregoing costs to the extent such payment would cause total underwriting compensation to exceed 10.0% of the gross proceeds of the primary offering as of the termination of the Offering, as required by the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). | ||
Operating Expense Responsibility Agreement | Operating Expense Responsibility Agreement | |
On May 11, 2015, the Company, Advisor and the Sponsor entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Expense Responsibility Agreement (“Responsibility Agreement”) originally effective as of June 11, 2013 and covering expenses through March 31, 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the Responsibility Agreement, the Sponsor has paid expenses on behalf of the Company through March 31, 2015 and will additionally pay the accrued operating expenses of the Company as of March 31, 2015 on behalf of the Company. Such expenses will not be reimbursable to the Sponsor until the Company has raised $200 million of gross proceeds, provided any such reimbursement during the period in which the Company is offering units in the Offering will not cause the Company’s Net Asset Value per unit to fall below the prior quarter’s Net Asset Value per unit (the “Gross Proceeds Hurdle”). To the extent the Company does not meet the Gross Proceeds Hurdle in any quarter, no amount will be payable by the Company for reimbursement to the Sponsor. Therefore, expenses of the Company covered by the Responsibility Agreement have not been recorded as expenses of the Company as of March 31, 2015. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, such expenses will be accrued and payable by the Company in the period that they become both probable and estimable. | ||
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |
Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), emerging growth companies can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company is choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates. There are no new or revised accounting standards that the Company has not adopted. | ||
In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Financial Services—Investment Companies: Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2013-08”). ASU 2013-08 amends the current criteria for an entity to qualify as an investment company, creates new disclosure requirements and amends the measurement criteria for certain interests in other investment companies. ASU 2013-08 was effective on January 1, 2014, and did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | ||
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Under the new guidance, 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 the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of the amended guidance in ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements. | ||
Risk Factors | Risk Factors | |
The Company has limited operating history and is subject to the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business. As an externally-managed Company, the Company is largely dependent on the efforts of the Advisor and other service providers. | ||
The Company is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Global economies and capital markets can and have experienced significant volatility, which has increased the risks associated with investments in collateralized private debt instruments. Investment in the Company carries risk and there are no guarantees that the Company’s investment objectives will be achieved. The Company is also exposed to credit risk related to maintaining all of its cash at a major financial institution. | ||
The Company’s investments consist of loans, loan participations and trade finance that are illiquid and non-traded, making purchase or sale of such financial instruments at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult. Furthermore, the sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely difficult to value any such investments accurately. | ||
The value of the Company’s investments in loans may be detrimentally affected to the extent, among other things, that a borrower defaults on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral securing the loan and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted loan, observable secondary or primary market yields for similar instruments issued by comparable companies increase materially or risk premiums required in the market between smaller companies, such as the Company’s borrowers, and those for which market yields are observable increase materially | ||
At March 31, 2015, the Company’s investment portfolio included 19 companies and was comprised of $5,750,000 or 9.4% in senior secured term loan participations, and $55,674,938 or 90.6% in senior secured trade finance participations. The Company’s largest loan by value was $11,215,349 or 18.3% of total investments. The Company’s 5 largest loans by value comprised 60.6% of the Company’s portfolio at March 31, 2015. Participation in loans amounted to 100% of the Company’s total portfolio at March 31, 2015. |
