NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2014
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Organization
American Capital Senior Floating, Ltd. (which is referred to as “ACSF”, “we”, "us" and “our”) was organized in February 2013 as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations on October 15, 2013. We are structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment management company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). On November 14, 2013, we formed a wholly-owned special purpose financing vehicle, ACSF Funding I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ACSF Funding”).
In January 2014, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 10,000,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $15.00 per share for gross proceeds of $150,000. Upon completion of the IPO, we became externally managed by American Capital ACSF Management, LLC (our "Manager"), an indirect subsidiary of American Capital Asset Management, LLC, ("ACAM"), which is a wholly-owned portfolio company of American Capital, Ltd. ("American Capital"). Prior to the completion of our IPO, we were wholly-owned by ACAM. Following completion of the IPO, ACAM owned approximately 3% of our outstanding common stock, the maximum amount permissible under the 1940 Act. In conjunction with the IPO, our Manager paid the underwriting commissions of $7,952. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, where it trades under the symbol “ACSF”. In connection with the IPO, we elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and intend to elect to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Investment Objective
Our investment objective is to provide attractive, risk-adjusted returns over the long-term primarily through current income while seeking to preserve our capital. We actively manage a leveraged portfolio composed primarily of diversified investments in first lien and second lien floating rate loans to large U.S. based companies (collectively, "Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans" or "Loans") which are commonly referred to as leveraged loans. We also invest opportunistically in equity tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) which are securitized vehicles collateralized primarily by Loans and we may invest in debt tranches of CLOs. In addition, we may selectively invest in loans issued by middle market companies, mezzanine and unitranche loans and high yield bonds. Additionally, we may from time to time hold or invest in other equity investments and other debt or equity securities generally arising from a restructuring of Loan positions previously held by us.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The current period's results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year.
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiary, ACSF Funding. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounts of ACSF Funding are prepared for the same reporting period as ours using consistent accounting policies. References to the Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, serve as a single source of accounting literature. Subsequent events are evaluated and disclosed as appropriate for events occurring through the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of income and expenses during the reported period. Changes in economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ.

Investment Classification
As required by the 1940 Act, investments are classified by level of control. "Control Investments" are defined as investments in portfolio companies that we are deemed to control, as defined in the 1940 Act. "Affiliate Investments" are investments in those companies that are affiliated companies, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than Control Investments. "Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments" are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.
Generally, under the 1940 Act, we are deemed to control a company in which we have invested if we own more than 25% of the voting securities of such company. We are deemed to be an affiliate of a company if we own 5% or more of the voting securities of such company.
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of our investments were Non-Control/Non-Affiliate investments.
Fair Value Measurements
We value our investments in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, ("ASC 820") as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for our investments existed, and the differences could be material. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on the investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.
We undertake a multi-step valuation process to determine the fair value of our investments in accordance with ASC 820. The valuation process begins with the development of a preliminary valuation recommendation for each investment as determined in accordance with our valuation policy by a group of our Manager’s valuation, accounting and finance professionals, which is independent of our Manager's investment team. To prepare the proposed valuation, the group reviews information provided by a nationally recognized independent pricing service and broker-dealers, and may consult with the investment team and other internal resources of our Manager and its affiliates. The preliminary valuation recommendations are then presented to the Investment Committee and reviewed and approved by our Audit and Compliance Committee. The valuation recommendations are then reviewed by our Board of Directors for final approval. There were no changes to our valuation techniques or the nature of the related inputs considered in the valuation process during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Cost is determined based on consideration given, and the unrealized gains or losses on investment securities represent the changes in fair values as determined in compliance with the valuation policy. Realized gains and losses from the disposition of securities are recorded on the basis of weighted-average cost.
Investment Income
For debt investments, we record interest income on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Original issue discount ("OID") and purchased discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized into interest income using the effective interest method, where applicable. Loan origination fees are deferred and accreted into interest income using the effective interest method. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other investments as interest income when such amounts are received. We stop accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no loans on non-accrual status.
Interest income on the CLO equity investments is recognized using the effective interest method as required by ASC Subtopic 325-40, Investments-Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets ("ASC 325-40"). At the time of purchase, we estimate the future expected cash flows and determine the effective interest rate based on these estimated cash flows and our cost basis. Subsequent to the purchase on a quarterly basis, the estimated future cash flows are updated and a revised yield is calculated prospectively based on the current amortized cost of the investment as adjusted for credit impairments, if any.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less including those held in overnight sweep bank deposit accounts. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Consolidation
As permitted under Regulation S-X and as explained by ASC 946-810-45, Financial Services - Investment Companies - Consolidation, we will generally not consolidate an investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a
AMERICAN CAPITAL SENIOR FLOATING, LTD.

controlled operating company whose business consists primarily of providing services to us. Accordingly, we have consolidated the results of ACSF Funding in our consolidated financial statements.
Dividends to Common Shareholders
Dividends and distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Note 3. Agreements
Management Agreement
We have entered into a management agreement with our Manager effective as of the date of the closing of our IPO. Under the management agreement, our Manager has agreed to provide investment advisory services to us, in addition to providing personnel, facilities and additional services necessary for our operations. Unless terminated earlier, the management agreement will continue to be in effect for a period of two years. It will remain in effect from year to year thereafter if approved annually by our Board of Directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities, and, in either case if also approved by a majority of our directors who are not "Interested Persons" as defined under the 1940 Act.
Our Manager receives a management fee from us that is payable quarterly in arrears. The management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 0.8% of our total consolidated assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, each as determined by GAAP at the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. There is no incentive compensation paid to our Manager under the management agreement. The management fee is prorated for any partial period and totaled $609 and $1,609 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
Since our Manager has no employees, it has entered into an administrative agreement with both its parent and American Capital pursuant to which our Manager will be provided with personnel, services and resources necessary for our Manager to perform its obligations under the management agreement.
We have also agreed to reimburse our Manager and its affiliates for certain expenses related to operations incurred on our behalf, excluding employment-related expenses of our and our Manager’s officers and any employees of American Capital or its affiliates who provide services to us pursuant to the management agreement or to our Manager pursuant to the administrative services agreement. In addition, our Manager or one of its affiliates may pay for or incur certain expenses and then allocate these expenses to ACSF. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $194 and $704, respectively, of expenses that are reimbursable to our Manager and its affiliates.
For the first full 24 months after the date of our IPO, our Manager has agreed to be responsible for certain of our operating expenses in excess of 0.75% of our consolidated net assets, less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, each as determined under GAAP at the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Operating expenses subject to this reimbursement include both (i) our operating expenses reimbursed to our Manager and its affiliates for the expenses related to our operations incurred on our behalf, and (ii) our operating expenses directly incurred by us excluding the management fee, interest costs, taxes, and accrued costs and fees related to actual, pending, or threatened litigation, each as determined under GAAP for the most recently completed fiscal quarter. As a result of this operating expense limit, any reimbursements to our Manager and its affiliates could be reduced or eliminated, and in certain instances, our Manager could be required to reimburse us so that our other expenses do not exceed the limit described above. Subsequent to the first full 24 months after the date of our IPO, there are no limits on the reimbursement to our Manager or its affiliates of such expenses related to our operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, our Manager was responsible for $283 and $837, respectively, of operating expenses as a result of the expense cap.
ACSF Funding Investment Advisory Agreement
ACSF Funding entered into an investment advisory agreement with our Manager to manage its assets. No additional compensation is payable to our Manager under such agreement.
License Agreement
American Capital owns all the rights, title and interest in the service marks and domain names associated with American Capital, its affiliates and subsidiaries. We have entered into a royalty-free license agreement with American Capital for the right to use the names "American Capital Senior Floating" and “American Capital”, logo and domain address for so long as our Manager or one of its affiliates remains our investment manager and it is used in connection with our business activities.

Tax Sharing Agreement
For the period prior to the IPO, during which we were treated as a taxable C corporation for tax purposes, we had a tax sharing agreement with American Capital and other members of its consolidated tax group, under which such members bore their full share of their individual tax obligation and members were compensated for their losses and other tax benefits that were able to be used by other members of the consolidated tax group based on their pro-forma stand-alone federal income tax return.
Note 4. Net Asset Value Per Share
At September 30, 2014, our total net assets and net asset value per share were $148,540 and $14.85, respectively. Net asset value per share at December 31, 2013 is not considered meaningful and has been marked "N/A" in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 6. Investments
Our investments primarily focus on Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and opportunistic investments in equity tranches of CLOs. Our investments in Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans are typically arranged by a syndicate of investment or commercial banks who syndicate loans to third-party investors. Investors may seek to buy and sell Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans through both primary and secondary markets. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans of 34 new and 5 existing portfolio companies for a total purchase price of $56,655. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans of 94 new and 17 existing portfolio companies for a total purchase price of $186,658. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased one new and one existing CLO equity investment for an aggregate purchase price of $3,845. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased six new and one existing CLO equity investments for an aggregate purchase price of $22,265. Investment sales and repayments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $52,861 and $116,211, respectively. We may, from time to time, transact in purchases or sales of securities with affiliates of our Manager at fair market value on trade date. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, total proceeds from sales to affiliates were $5,462 and $20,521, respectively.

Note 7. Fair Value
We value our investments at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for our investments existed, and the differences could be material. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on the investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.
ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. When available, we determine the fair value of our investments using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall into more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment's fair value measurement. We use judgment and consider factors specific to the investment when determining the significance of an input to a fair value measurement. Our policy is to recognize transfers in and out of levels as of the beginning of each reporting period. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy and investments that fall into each of the levels are described below:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This may include valuations based on executed trades, broker quotations that constitute an executable price, and alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which, in each case, are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset in connection with market data at the measurement date.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data. In certain cases, investments classified within Level 3 may include securities for which we have obtained indicative quotes from broker-dealers that do not necessarily represent prices the broker may be willing to trade on.
The valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Our Loans are predominately valued based on evaluated prices from a nationally recognized independent pricing service approved by our Board of Directors or from third-party brokers who make markets in such debt investments. When possible, we make inquiries of third-party pricing sources to understand their use of significant inputs and assumptions. We review the third-party fair value estimates and perform procedures to validate their reasonableness, including an analysis of the range and dispersion of third-party estimates, frequency of pricing updates, comparison of recent trade activity for similar securities, and review for consistency with market conditions observed as of the measurement date.
There may be instances when independent or third-party pricing sources are not available, or cases where we believe that the third-party pricing sources do not provide sufficient evidence to support a market participant's view of the fair value of the debt investment being valued. These instances may result from an investment in a less liquid loan such as a middle market loan, a mezzanine loan or unitranche loan, or a loan to a company that has become financially distressed. In these instances, we may estimate the fair value based on a combination of a market yield valuation methodology and evaluated pricing discussed above, or solely based on a market yield valuation methodology. Under the market yield valuation methodology, we estimate the fair value based on a discounted cash flow technique. For these debt investments, the unobservable inputs used in the market yield valuation methodology to measure fair value reflect management's best estimate of assumptions that would be used by market participants when pricing the investment in a hypothetical transaction, including estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar loans and securities as of the measurement date. We will estimate the remaining life based on market data for the average life of similar loans. However, if we have information that the loan is expected to be repaid in the near term, we would use an estimated remaining life based on the expected repayment date. The average life to be used to estimate the fair value of our loans may be shorter than the legal maturity of the loans since many loans are prepaid prior to the maturity date. The interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of our loans is based on current interest rate spreads of similar loans. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a loan, we may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.
We estimate the fair value of our CLO equity investments using a combination of third-party broker quotes, purchases or sales of the same or similar securities, and cash flow forecasts subject to assumptions that a market participant would use regarding the investments' underlying collateral including, but not limited to, assumptions for default and recovery rates, reinvestment spreads and prepayment rates. Cash flow forecasts are discounted using market participant's market yield assumptions

that are derived from multiple sources including, but not limited to, third-party broker quotes, industry research reports and transactions of securities and indices with similar structures and risk characteristics. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes, if any, when determining fair value based on our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer, the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with underlying performance and other market indices. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were no changes to our valuation techniques or the nature of the related inputs considered in the valuation process.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of CLO equity include the default and prepayment rates used to establish projected cash flows and the discount rate applied in the valuation models to those projected cash flows. An increase in any one of these individual inputs in isolation would likely result in a decrease to fair value. However, given the interrelationship between these inputs, overall market conditions would likely have a more significant impact on our Level 3 fair values than changes in any one unobservable input.
Note 8. Debt
Revolving Credit Facility
On October 15, 2013, we entered into a revolving credit facility with ACAM (the “ACAM Facility”) which provided up to $200,000 to finance eligible investments, working capital expenses and general corporate requirements (comprised of Loan A and Loan B). Under the ACAM Facility, we were able to draw up to $180,000 under Loan A and up to $20,000 under Loan B at any one time. Any amounts drawn on Loan A had a fixed interest rate of 4.75% per annum, and any amounts drawn on Loan B had a fixed interest rate of 7.25% per annum, with all interest paid upon maturity of the ACAM Facility. The ACAM Facility matured on the closing date of our IPO. On January 22, 2014, we repaid the ACAM Facility in full plus accrued interest and terminated it. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred interest expense of $568 on the ACAM Facility.
Secured Revolving Credit Facility
On December 18, 2013, ACSF Funding entered into a two-year $140,000 secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as agent (the “Credit Facility”). ACSF Funding may make draws under the Credit Facility from time to time to purchase or acquire certain eligible assets. The Credit Facility is secured by ACSF Funding’s assets pursuant to a security agreement and contains customary financial and negative covenants and events of default. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of assets owned by ACSF Funding and pledged as collateral was $242,400 and $0, respectively. The Credit Facility is non-recourse to ACSF. Amounts drawn under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (a) LIBOR plus 1.80%, or (b) 0.80% plus the highest of (i) the Federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) Bank of America, N.A.’s prime rate, or (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1%. ACSF Funding may borrow, prepay and reborrow loans under the Credit Facility at any time prior to November 18, 2015, the commitment termination date, subject to certain terms and conditions, including maintaining a certain borrowing base. Any outstanding balance on the Credit Facility as of the commitment termination date must be repaid on the maturity date, which is December 18, 2015, unless otherwise extended.
ACSF Funding is required to pay a commitment fee in an amount equal to 0.75% on the actual daily unused amount of the lender commitments under the Credit Facility from February 14, 2014 to the commitment termination date, payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, if ACSF Funding terminates the commitment amount in whole or in part prior to June 18, 2015, ACSF Funding will be required to pay a make-whole fee equal to the sum of the present values of all future spread amounts that would have been payable in respect of the total commitments (or terminated portion thereof) during the period from the termination date through June 18, 2015.
As of September 30, 2014, there was $135,000 outstanding under the Credit Facility which had a fair value of $135,000 and a weighted average interest rate of 1.95%. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2013. The fair value of the Credit Facility is determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions and is measured with Level 3 inputs. As of September 30, 2014, ACSF Funding was in compliance

with all covenants of the Credit Facility, including compliance with a borrowing base that applies various advance rates of up to 80% on the assets pledged as collateral by ACSF Funding.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred interest expense and commitment fees of $681 and $8, respectively, on the Credit Facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred interest expense and commitment fees of $1,749 and $47, respectively, on the Credit Facility.
The average debt outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $135,833 and $129,191, respectively. The weighted average annual interest cost, including commitment fees, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, was 2.01% and 2.45%, exclusive of 0.30% and 0.30% on the average debt outstanding for amortization of debt issuance costs, respectively. This weighted average annual interest cost reflects the average interest cost during the period for both the ACAM Facility and Credit Facility. The maximum amount of debt outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $140,000 and $194,748, respectively.
Note 9. Taxes
From our inception through the date of our IPO, we were a taxable corporation under Subchapter C of the Code (“C corporation”), subject to federal and state income taxes on our taxable ordinary income and capital gains. Prior to our IPO, we were an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ACAM, which was wholly-owned by American Capital. As such, we were required to be consolidated in American Capital’s federal consolidated tax group, which has a September 30 tax year end. We had a tax sharing agreement with American Capital and other members of the consolidated tax group, under which such members bore their full share of their individual tax obligation and members were compensated for their losses and other tax benefits that were able to be used by other members of the consolidated tax group based on their pro forma stand-alone federal income tax return.
We intend to elect to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code beginning with the date of our IPO through our tax fiscal year end of December 31. As part of our election to be taxed as a RIC, we intend to make a “deemed sale election” whereby we will treat our net unrealized gains (“net built-in gain”) on the date of our IPO as recognized for tax purposes in our final pre-IPO C corporation federal tax return. The federal tax sharing payment that we owed to American Capital attributed to our net built-in gain was $574. American Capital waived this payment which was then treated as a deemed capital contribution to us.
Previously, we disclosed that we had an estimated $1,402 million of pre-IPO C corporation taxable earnings and profits, including the net built-in gain that would be required to be distributed to our shareholders as part of our election to be treated as a RIC. In the current quarter, we concluded that we will not be required to distribute any pre-IPO C corporation taxable earnings and profits in order to qualify as a RIC. As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $76, or $0.01 per share, of estimated undistributed taxable income.
In order to qualify as a RIC, we must annually distribute in a timely manner to our shareholders at least 90% of our taxable ordinary income based on our tax fiscal year. Ordinary taxable income includes net short-term capital gains but excludes net long-term capital gains. A RIC is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable ordinary income and long-term capital gains that is distributed to its shareholders, including “deemed distributions.” As permitted by the Code, a RIC can designate dividends paid in the subsequent tax fiscal year as dividends of current year ordinary income and net long-term capital gains if those dividends are both declared by the extended due date of the RIC’s federal income tax return and paid to shareholders by the last day of the subsequent tax fiscal year. We intend to distribute sufficient dividends to eliminate taxable income for our current tax year. However, we may elect to not distribute sufficient dividends to eliminate all of our taxable income so long as we distribute at least 90% of our taxable ordinary income in order to maintain our qualification as a RIC. To the extent we maintain our qualification as a RIC but do not distribute all of our taxable income, we would be subject to income tax on such undistributed amounts. If we fail to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any tax fiscal year, we would be subject to income tax in such year on all of our taxable income, regardless of whether we made any distributions to our shareholders.
As a RIC, we are also subject to a nondeductible federal excise tax of 4% if we do not distribute at least 98% of our ordinary income, excluding net short-term capital gains, in any calendar year and 98.2% of our capital gains for each one-year period ending October 31, including any undistributed income from the prior excise tax year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we accrued federal excise tax of $(20) and $10, respectively.
Income determined under GAAP differs from income determined under tax because of both temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, including (i) unrealized gains and losses associated with debt investments marked to fair value for GAAP but the unrealized appreciation/depreciation is excluded from taxable income until realized or settled, (ii) temporary differences related to interest income and (iii) differences arising due to the taxation of CLO equity investments as either a Controlled Foreign Corporation ("CFC") or a Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFIC").

SEPTEMBER 30, 2014
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
As of September 30, 2014, the net unrealized depreciation for federal income tax purposes was $(1,866) with aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal tax purposes of $1,236 and $(3,102), respectively, based on a tax cost of $295,754.
We identify our major tax jurisdictions as federal and Maryland. During the period in which we were taxable as a C corporation, we were part of American Capital’s federal consolidated tax group, including its federal tax fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, which remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).
ACSF Funding is a wholly-owned limited liability company and is treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes.
We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. We have analyzed our tax positions and have concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years or expected to be taken in our current year tax returns. We are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. A reconciliation is not provided as the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized benefits are zero, with no interim additions, reductions or settlements.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings, including actions brought against us and others with respect to investment transactions. The outcomes of any such legal proceedings are uncertain and, as a result of these proceedings, the values of the investments to which they relate could decrease. We were not subject to any material litigation against us as of September 30, 2014.
We may enter into future funding commitments such as revolving credit facilities, bridge financing commitments, or delayed draw commitments. As of September 30, 2014, we had no investments in revolving credit facilities, outstanding bridge financing commitments of $2,500, and an unfunded delayed draw first lien term loan commitment of $292.

Overview
American Capital Senior Floating, Ltd. (“ACSF”, “we”, "our" and "us"), a Maryland corporation organized in February 2013 that commenced operations on October 15, 2013, is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment management company. We have elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes we intend to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
On January 15, 2014, we priced our initial public offering, selling 10.0 million shares of common stock, at a price of $15.00 per share for net proceeds of $149.1 million. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, where it trades under the symbol “ACSF”. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 ("JOBS Act"), and intend to take advantage of the exemption for emerging growth companies allowing us to temporarily forgo the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We do not intend to take advantage of other disclosure or reporting exemptions for emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act.
Our investment activities are managed by American Capital ACSF Management, LLC (our "Manager"). Under our management agreement with our Manager, we have agreed to pay our Manager an annual base management fee of 0.8% of our total consolidated assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, at the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. There is no incentive compensation paid to our Manager. For the first two years following the IPO, our Manager has agreed that annual other operating expenses will generally not exceed 75 basis points of ACSF’s quarter end consolidated net assets, excluding unrealized gains or losses. Our Board of Directors, a majority of whom are independent of us, provides overall supervision of our activities, and our Manager supervises our day-to-day activities.
On November 14, 2013, we formed a wholly-owned consolidated financing subsidiary, ACSF Funding I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ACSF Funding”). On December 18, 2013, ACSF Funding entered into a two-year $140 million secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as agent (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on December 18, 2015 and generally bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.80%. The Credit Facility is secured by ACSF Funding's assets pursuant to a security agreement and contains customary financial and negative covenants and events of default. Advance rates vary on the type of collateral owned and can range up to 80%.
On October 15, 2013, we entered into a $200 million revolving credit facility (the "ACAM Facility") provided by American Capital Asset Management, LLC, the indirect parent of our Manager. Prior to the IPO, we used the ACAM Facility to purchase our initial investment portfolio and upon the closing of the IPO, we repaid the ACAM Facility in full plus accrued interest and terminated the ACAM Facility.
Investments
Our investment objective is to provide attractive, risk-adjusted returns over the long-term primarily through current income while seeking to preserve our capital. We actively manage a leveraged portfolio composed primarily of diversified investments in first lien and second lien floating rate loans to large U.S. based companies (collectively, "Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans" or "Loans") which are commonly referred to as leveraged loans. S&P defines large-market loans as loans from issuers with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of greater than $50 million. Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans are typically collateralized by a company's assets and structured with first lien or second lien priority on collateral, providing for greater security and potential recovery in the event of default compared to other subordinated fixed-income products. We also invest opportunistically in equity tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) which are securitized vehicles collateralized primarily by Loans and we may invest in debt tranches of CLOs. In addition, we may selectively invest in loans issued by middle market companies, mezzanine and unitranche loans and high yield bonds. Additionally, we may from time to time hold or invest in other equity investments and other debt or equity securities generally arising from a restructuring of Loan positions previously held by us. Under normal market conditions, we will invest at least 80% of our assets in Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans or CLOs that are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily all of their assets in Loans.
Our level of investment activity can vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to U.S. based large-market private companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” as defined by Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies”. The definition of “eligible portfolio company” includes private operating companies and certain public companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million, in each case organized under the laws of and with their principal place of business located in the United States. Investments in debt and equity tranches of CLOs are deemed nonqualified assets for BDC compliance purposes; therefore, under normal market conditions, we intend to limit our CLO investments to 20% of our portfolio.
Revenue
We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest income from the securities we hold and capital gains, if any, on investment securities that we may sell. Our debt investments generally have a stated term of three to seven years and typically bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark LIBOR, commercial paper rate, or the prime rate. Interest on our debt investments is generally payable quarterly but may be paid monthly or semi-annually.
Expenses
We do not have any employees and do not pay our officers any cash or non-cash equity compensation. We will pay, or reimburse our Manager and its affiliates, for expenses related to our operations incurred on our behalf, excluding employment-related expenses of our and our Manager's officers and any employees of American Capital or the parent company of our Manager who provide services to us pursuant to the management agreement or to our Manager pursuant to the administrative services agreement. However, for the first full 24 months after the date of our IPO, our other operating expenses will be limited to an annual rate of 0.75% of our consolidated net assets, less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, each as determined under GAAP at the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. For the purposes of the preceding operating expense limit, other operating expenses include both (i) our operating expenses reimbursed to our Manager and its affiliates for expenses related to our operations incurred on our behalf, and (ii) our operating expenses directly incurred by us excluding the management fee, interest costs, taxes and accrued costs and fees related to actual, pending or threatened litigation, each as determined under GAAP for the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Subsequent to the first full 24 months after the date of our IPO, there are no limits on the reimbursement to our Manager or its affiliates of such expenses related to our operations.
During periods of asset growth, we generally expect our general and administrative operating expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets and increase during periods of asset declines. Interest expense and costs relating to future offerings of securities, among others, may also increase or reduce overall operating expenses based on portfolio performance, interest rate benchmarks, and offerings of our securities relative to comparative periods, among other factors.
Market Conditions
Economic and market conditions can impact our business and our investments in multiple ways, including the financial condition of the portfolio companies in which we invest, our investment returns, our funding costs, our access to the capital markets and our access to credit. Despite uncertainties regarding economic and market conditions, the new issue loan pipeline in the
leveraged loan market remains robust, with high quality first lien and second lien transactions supporting leveraged buyouts, strategic acquisitions, plant expansions, recapitalizations and refinancings for large to mid-sized borrowers. Similarly, the CLO equity pipeline also remains very healthy with a large backlog of managers raising capital for new investment vehicles.
We perform a fundamental credit analysis as we evaluate new investment opportunities and seek to invest in those opportunities that provide attractive risk-adjusted returns. Additionally, we actively manage our existing investment portfolio by investing in both the new issue and secondary loan markets as investment opportunities with better relative value present themselves. Our ability to invest in new opportunities may be constrained by our ability to raise additional equity capital, since as a BDC, subject to limited exceptions, we are generally not able to issue additional shares of our common stock at a price less than our current net asset value.
Portfolio Monitoring
We employ robust portfolio and risk management processes, which include monitoring market conditions and the performance of our investments on a daily basis. Additionally, we perform a comprehensive review and reevaluation of our investments on a quarterly basis. As part of this process, we review the investment thesis for each position, as well as financial performance, covenant compliance, other credit issues and the relative value of our positions to similar securities in the market. Positions that have deteriorated significantly from their investment thesis are placed on a list and monitored more frequently.
Portfolio and Investment Activity
As of September 30, 2014, the fair market value of our portfolio totaled $294 million and was comprised of 72% first lien Loans, 11% second lien Loans and 17% CLO equity, measured at fair value. As of September 30, 2014, the Loan portfolio was diversified across 122 companies and 40 industries and the CLO portfolio was invested in 14 CLOs managed by 12 different collateral managers. Our Loan portfolio consisted of all floating rate investments with 100% having LIBOR floors ranging between 0.75% and 1.75%. The weighted-average LIBOR floor in our Loan portfolio was 1.03% as of September 30, 2014. The weighted-average yield at cost of our first lien Loans, second lien Loans and CLO equity investments was 5.0%, 7.8% and 12.4%, respectively, as of September 30, 2014.
The fair value of the portfolio was $1.3 million below the cost basis as of September 30, 2014. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, ACSF recognized net unrealized depreciation on investments of $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, which was primarily attributed to the Loan portfolio. The depreciation in the Loan portfolio was consistent with price changes observed in the broader market which resulted in higher market yields for both new issue and legacy Loan positions relative to their credit profiles.
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans of 39 portfolio companies (34 new and 5 existing) for a total purchase price of $56.7 million with a weighted-average yield at cost of 5.4%. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased two CLO equity investments for an aggregate purchase price of $3.8 million with a weighted-average yield of 10.5%. Investment sales and repayments during the three months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $41.3 million and $11.6 million, respectively. As a result of the portfolio rotation and updates to forecasted cash flows on the CLOs, the yield on the portfolio increased 20 basis points since June 30, 2014 to 6.5% as of September 30, 2014.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans of 111 portfolio companies (94 new and 17 existing) for a total purchase price of $186.6 million with a weighted-average yield at cost of 5.5%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we made investments in seven CLO equity positions for an aggregate purchase price of $22.3 million with a weighted-average yield of 12.2%. Investment sales and repayments during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $83.3 million and $32.9 million, respectively. Changes to CLO yields have driven the decline in the portfolio yield since December 31, 2013.
The average yield on our Loan portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 5.3% and 5.2%, respectively. The average yield on our CLO investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 11.6% and 13.1%, respectively. The changes to the yield on our CLO portfolio is a result of purchases of new, lower yielding CLO positions as well as updates to the assumptions used to forecast cash flows used to calculate the effective interest yield on each CLO investment on a quarterly basis. The key assumptions that drove the change in yield related to reinvestment spreads and default rates.
The portfolio was diversified across both issuers and industries with the average exposure to an individual obligor in our Loan portfolio of $2.0 million at fair value, or 0.7% of the total portfolio, as of September 30, 2014. The CLO investments were diversified across 14 CLOs with 12 different collateral managers and an average position size of $3.6 million at fair value, or 1.2% of the total portfolio. The following table shows the Loan portfolio composition by industry grouping at fair value as a percentage of total Loans as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The investments in CLOs are excluded from the table below:

As of September 30, 2014, approximately 80% of our Loan investment portfolio, at fair value, was comprised of Loans with a facility rating by S&P of at least "B" or higher. The approximately 20% of the Loan portfolio rated below B by S&P relates predominately to the second lien Loan investments. The following chart shows the S&P facility credit rating of our Loan portfolio at fair value as of September 30, 2014:

Investment Income
Investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $4.6 million and $12.9 million, respectively. Interest generated from Loan investments totaled $3.2 million and $9.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Income from the CLO investments totaled $1.4 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The average yield on our Loan portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 5.3% and 5.2%, respectively. The average yield on our CLO investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 11.6% and 13.1%, respectively.
Net Expenses
Net expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $1.7 million, primarily comprised of interest and other debt related costs of $0.8 million, management fees of $0.6 million and other general and administrative expenses. Net expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $5.1 million, primarily comprised of interest and other debt related costs of $2.7 million, management fees of $1.6 million and other general and administrative expenses.
Interest and other debt related costs incurred from January 1, 2014 until January 22, 2014 (the closing date of the IPO) primarily related to interest expense on the ACAM Facility. There was $194.7 million outstanding on the ACAM Facility until the closing of the IPO at which time the ACAM Facility was repaid in full and terminated. The weighted-average interest rate on the ACAM Facility was 5.0%.
Interest and other debt related costs incurred following the closing date of the IPO through September 30, 2014 are related to borrowings under our Credit Facility. The Credit Facility generally bears interest at a spread of 1.80% over a chosen index (which is typically one-month LIBOR). Included in other debt related costs are additional fees and expenses associated with the Credit Facility, including an unused commitment fee of 75 basis points on undrawn commitments and the amortization of debt financing costs.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense, commitment fees and amortization of debt financing costs totaled $0.7 million, $8 thousand and $0.1 million, respectively. The average debt outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $135.8 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.96% and total average cost of funding, including amortization of debt financing costs and unfunded commitment fees, of 2.31%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense, commitment fees and amortization of debt financing costs totaled $2.3 million, $47 thousand and $0.3 million, respectively. The average debt outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $129.2 million with a weighted average interest rate of 2.37% and total average cost of funding, including amortization of debt financing costs and unfunded commitment fees, of 2.75%.
Management fees were $0.6 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The accrual for management fees commenced upon the receipt of the IPO proceeds, which occurred on January 22, 2014, and was prorated for the first quarter based on the number of days the management agreement was in effect.
Other operating expenses totaled $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and are comprised primarily of insurance premiums, Board of Director fees, professional fees and rent. However, as a result of the expense cap, our Manager was responsible for $0.3 million of our expenses which resulted in our net other operating expenses totaling $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Other operating expenses totaled $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and are comprised primarily of insurance premiums, Board of Director fees, professional fees and rent. However, as a result of the expense cap, our Manager was responsible for $0.8 million of our expenses which resulted in our net other operating expenses totaling $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income totaled $2.9 million and $7.7 million, or $0.29 and $0.77 per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
Net Realized Gains / Losses
Sales and repayments of investments during the three months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $41.3 million and $11.6 million, respectively, resulting in net realized losses of $29 thousand, or less than $0.01 per share. Sales and repayments of investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $83.3 million and $32.9 million respectively, resulting in net realized gains of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per share.
Net Unrealized Appreciation / Depreciation
During the three and nine months ended ended September 30, 2014, ACSF recognized net unrealized depreciation on investments of $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, which was primarily attributed to the Loan portfolio. The depreciation in the Loan portfolio was consistent with price changes observed in the broader market which resulted in higher market yields for both new issue and legacy Loan positions relative to their credit profiles. As of September 30, 2014, the investment portfolio’s fair market value was below its cost basis by $1.3 million.
Taxes
Prior to the IPO, we were treated as a taxable C corporation whereby ordinary income earned on investments net of expenses, as well as investment gains recognized were subject to both federal and state income taxes.
We plan to elect to be treated as a RIC as defined in Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we will generally not have to pay corporate-level federal and state income taxes on any net ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute to our shareholders. Additionally, as part of the IPO, we intend to make a "deemed sale election" whereby we will elect to treat our net unrealized gains at the IPO date as recognized in our final pre-IPO C corporation tax return. We are not required to distribute any income to ACSF shareholders that was generated prior to the IPO.
Previously, we disclosed that we had an estimated $1.4 million of pre-IPO C corporation taxable earnings and profits, including the net built-in gain that would be required to be distributed to our shareholders as part of our election to be treated as a RIC. In the current quarter, we concluded that we will not be required to distribute any pre-IPO C corporation taxable earnings and profits in order to qualify as a RIC. As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, of estimated undistributed taxable income.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and capital resources arise primarily from our Credit Facility and cash flow from operations. In addition, we expect to use proceeds from any follow-on equity offerings of common stock and other supplementary financing mechanisms as additional sources of capital and liquidity.
In order to qualify as a RIC, we must annually distribute in a timely manner to our shareholders at least 90% of our taxable ordinary income. In addition, we must also distribute in a timely manner to our shareholders all of our taxable ordinary and capital income in order to not be subject to income taxes. Accordingly, our ability to retain earnings is limited.
As a BDC, we are generally not able to issue or sell our common stock at a price below our net asset value per share, except (i) with the prior approval of a majority of our shareholders, (ii) in connection with a rights offering to our existing shareholders, or (iii) under such other circumstances as the SEC may permit. As of September 30, 2014, our net asset value was $14.85 per share and our closing market price was $13.01 per share.
On January 22, 2014, we closed our IPO of 10.0 million shares of common stock at $15.00 per share raising approximately $149.1 million in net proceeds. Using the proceeds from the IPO, plus borrowings from our Credit Facility, we repaid the ACAM Facility in the amount of $194.7 million. Following repayment, the ACAM Facility was terminated. In connection with the IPO, the underwriters received a underwriting discount and commission (sales load) of $8.0 million that was paid by our Manager.
As of September 30, 2014, we had $135.0 million in borrowings outstanding on our Credit Facility. The fair value of assets owned by ACSF Funding as of September 30, 2014 was $242.4 million and the borrowing base was $155.5 million. On a consolidated basis, as of September 30, 2014, we were leveraged at 0.91x debt to equity. As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $10.3 million of available liquidity consisting of $5.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $5.0 million of available capacity on our Credit Facility.
As a BDC, we are permitted to issue “senior securities”, as defined in the 1940 Act, in any amounts as long as immediately after such issuance our asset coverage is at least 200%, or equal to or greater than our asset coverage prior to such issuance, after taking into account the payment of debt with proceeds from such issuance. Asset coverage is defined in the 1940 Act as the ratio of the value of the total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, bears to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness. However, if our asset coverage is below 200%, we may also borrow amounts up to 5% of our total assets for temporary purposes even if that would cause our asset coverage ratio to further decline. As of September 30, 2014, our asset coverage was 210%.
Dividends
Our Board of Directors determines dividends primarily based on estimates of taxable income, which may differ from GAAP income due to temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments. The specific tax characteristics will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a $0.28 dividend per share. The dividend was paid on October 10, 2014 to common shareholders of record as of September 30, 2014, with an ex-dividend date of September 26, 2014. Since its January 2014 IPO, we have paid a total of $7.4 million in dividends, or $0.74 per share. We maintain an "opt out" dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan for our common shareholders. As a result, if we declare a dividend, then shareholders' cash dividends will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they, or their nominees on their behalf, specifically "opt out" of the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan so as to receive cash dividends.
The table below details the dividends declared on our shares of common stock since the completion of our IPO (dollars in thousands, except per share data):
|
| | | | | |
Dividend Declaration Date | Ex-Dividend Date | Record Date | Payment Date | Per Share Amount | Total Amount |
March 17, 2014 | March 27, 2014 | March 31, 2014 | April 10, 2014 | $0.18 | $1,800 |
June 18, 2014 | June 26, 2014 | June 30, 2014 | July 10, 2014 | $0.28 | $2,800 |
September 17, 2014 | September 26, 2014 | September 30, 2014 | October 10, 2014 | $0.28 | $2,800 |
As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, of estimated undistributed taxable income.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of our accounting policies that are most affected by judgments, estimates and assumptions, which relate to the estimation of fair value of portfolio investments and revenue recognition.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
We value our investments in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, ("ASC 820") as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors.
We undertake a multi-step valuation process to determine the fair value of our investments in accordance with ASC 820. The valuation process begins with the development of a preliminary valuation recommendation for each investment as determined in accordance with our valuation policy by a group of our Manager’s valuation, accounting and finance professionals, which is independent of our Manager's investment team. To prepare the proposed valuation, the group reviews information provided by a nationally recognized independent pricing service and broker-dealers, and may consult with the investment team and other internal resources of our Manager and its affiliates. The preliminary valuation recommendations are then presented to the Investment Committee and reviewed and approved by our Audit and Compliance Committee. The valuation recommendations are then reviewed by our Board of Directors for final approval. There were no changes to our valuation techniques or the nature of the related inputs considered in the valuation process during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. When available, we determine the fair value of our investments using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall into more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment's fair value measurement. We use judgment and consider factors specific to the investment when determining the significance of an input to a fair value measurement. Our policy is to recognize transfers in and out of levels as of the beginning of each reporting period. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy and investments that fall into each of the levels are described below:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This may include valuations based on executed trades, broker quotations that constitute an executable price, and alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which, in each case, are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset in connection with market data at the measurement date.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data. In certain cases, investments classified within Level 3 may include securities for which we have obtained indicative quotes from broker-dealers that do not necessarily represent prices the broker may be willing to trade on.
The valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Our Loans are predominately valued based on evaluated prices from a nationally recognized independent pricing service approved by our Board of Directors or from third-party brokers who make markets in such debt investments. When possible, we make inquiries of third-party pricing sources to understand their use of significant inputs and assumptions. We review the third-party fair value estimates and perform procedures to validate their reasonableness, including an analysis of the range and dispersion of third-party estimates, frequency of pricing updates, comparison of recent trade activity for similar securities, and review for consistency with market conditions observed as of the measurement date.
There may be instances when independent or third-party pricing sources are not available, or cases where we believe that the third-party pricing sources do not provide sufficient evidence to support a market participant's view of the fair value of the debt investment being valued. These instances may result from an investment in a less liquid loan such as a middle market loan, a mezzanine loan or unitranche loan, or a loan to a company that has become financially distressed. In these instances, we may estimate the fair value based on a combination of a market yield valuation methodology and evaluated pricing discussed above, or solely based on a market yield valuation methodology. Under the market yield valuation methodology, we estimate the fair value based on a discounted cash flow technique. For these debt investments, the unobservable inputs used in the market yield valuation methodology to measure fair value reflect management's best estimate of assumptions that would be used by market participants when pricing the investment in a hypothetical transaction, including estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar loans and securities as of the measurement date. We will estimate the remaining life based on market data for the average life of similar loans. However, if we have information that the loan is expected to be repaid in the near term, we would use an estimated remaining life based on the expected repayment date. The average life to be used to estimate the
fair value of our loans may be shorter than the legal maturity of the loans since many loans are prepaid prior to the maturity date. The interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of our loans is based on current interest rate spreads of similar loans. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a loan, we may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.
We estimate the fair value of our CLO equity investments using a combination of third-party broker quotes, purchases or sales of the same or similar securities, and cash flow forecasts subject to assumptions that a market participant would use regarding the investments' underlying collateral including, but not limited to, assumptions for default and recovery rates, reinvestment spreads and prepayment rates. Cash flow forecasts are discounted using market participant's market yield assumptions that are derived from multiple sources including, but not limited to, third-party broker quotes, industry research reports and transactions of securities and indices with similar structures and risk characteristics. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes, if any, when determining fair value based on our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer, the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with underlying performance and other market indices.
Investment Income
For debt investments, we record interest income on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Original issue discount ("OID") and purchased discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized into interest income using the effective interest method, where applicable. Loan origination fees are deferred and accreted into interest income using the effective interest method. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other investments as interest income when such amounts are received. We stop accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no loans on non-accrual status.
Interest income on the CLO equity investments is recognized using the effective interest method as required by ASC Subtopic 325-40, Investments-Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets ("ASC 325-40"). At the time of purchase, we estimate the future expected cash flows and determine the effective interest rate based on these estimated cash flows and our cost basis. Subsequent to the purchase on a quarterly basis, the estimated future cash flows are updated and a revised yield is calculated prospectively based on the current amortized cost of the investment as adjusted for credit impairments, if any.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2014, all of our debt investments bore interest at floating rates, and we expect that our investment portfolio will, in the future, primarily include floating rate debt investments. The interest rates on our debt investments are usually based on a floating LIBOR, and the debt investments typically contain interest rate re-set provisions that adjust applicable interest rates to current rates on a periodic basis. As of September 30, 2014, 100% of the debt investments in our portfolio had interest rate floors between 0.75% and 1.75%, which, in the current interest rate environment where LIBOR is below 1%, has effectively converted those floating rate debt investments to fixed rate debt investments. In contrast, our Credit Facility has a floating interest rate provision with no LIBOR floor and therefore our cost of funds will fluctuate with changes in short-term interest rates.
Assuming no changes to our consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2014, the following table shows the approximate annualized impact to the components of our results of operations from hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates to our Loan portfolio and debt financing.

(1) A decline in interest rates would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Although management believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rates, it does not reflect any potential impact to the fair value of our investments as a result of changes to interest rates, nor does it adjust for potential changes in the credit market, credit quality, size and composition of the assets in our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and other business developments that could affect the net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations or net investment income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from those shown above.
The above sensitivity analysis does not consider the impact of rising interest rates on revenue from our CLO equity investments. The revenue recognized on our CLO equity investments is calculated using the effective interest method which incorporates a forward LIBOR curve in the projected cash flows. Any change to interest rates that is not in-line with the forward LIBOR curve used in the projections, in either the timing or magnitude of the change, will cause actual distributions to differ from the current projections and will impact the related revenue recognized from these investments. The CLO equity investments are levered structures that are collateralized primarily with first lien floating rate loans that may have LIBOR floors and levered primarily with floating rate debt that does not have a LIBOR floor. The residual cash flows available to the equity holders of the CLOs will decline as interest rates increase until interest rates surpass the LIBOR floors on the floating rate loans.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2014, we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("the "Exchange Act"). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our "internal control over financial reporting" (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
