Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of June 30, 2018, we had $38,691 in cash, which we or our wholly-owned financing subsidiaries held in custodial accounts, and $71,500 in cash held as collateral by Citibank under the terms of the TRS. In addition, as of June 30, 2018, we had $30,100 in borrowings available under our financing arrangement. As of June 30, 2018, we also had broadly syndicated investments and opportunistic investments that could be sold to create additional liquidity. As of June 30, 2018, we had thirteen unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $8,625. We maintain sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.
We currently generate cash primarily from the issuance of shares under the DRP and from cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments, as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. To seek to enhance our returns, we also employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of FS/KKR Advisor, but in no event will leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of our assets, as required by the 1940 Act. See “—Financing Arrangements.”
Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the cash received from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments and from the issuance of shares under the DRP, as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments primarily in cash, cash equivalents, including money market funds, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, consistent with our BDC election and our election to be taxed as a RIC.
In November 2017, we closed our continuous public offering of common stock to new investors. We have submitted to the SEC an application for an exemptive order to permit us to offer multiple classes of shares of common stock. On July 31, 2018, we filed a new registration statement to offer multiple classes of shares of common stock, with each class having a different upfront sales load and fee and expense structure. We intend to commence this offering upon receipt of an exemptive order from the SEC, although there is no assurance we will receive such relief.

RIC Status and Distributions
We have elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, make distributions of an amount at least equal to 90% of our investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for distributions paid, each tax year. As long as the distributions are declared by the later of the fifteenth day of the ninth month following the close of a tax year or the due date of the tax return for such tax year, including
