BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)


Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation

Business Development Corporation of America (the “Company”), incorporated in Maryland on May 5, 2010, is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and is applying the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services - Investment Companies" ("ASC 946"). The Company is, therefore, required to comply with certain regulatory requirements as promulgated under the 1940 Act. The Company is managed by BDCA Adviser, LLC (the “Adviser”) pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory and Management Services Agreement, as amended (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser was formed in Delaware as a private investment management firm and is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Adviser oversees the management of the Company's activities and is responsible for making investment decisions for its portfolio. The Adviser is indirectly, wholly-owned by the sponsor, AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC, "AR Global" or the "Sponsor").

The Company's investment objective is to generate both current income and to a lesser extent long-term capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt issued by middle market companies. The Company defines middle market companies as those with annual revenues between $10 million and $1 billion. The Company may also purchase interests in loans through secondary market transactions in the "over-the-counter" market for institutional loans. First and second lien secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt and equity in bankruptcy priority and are generally secured by liens on the operating assets of a borrower which may include inventory, receivables, plant, property and equipment. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured. The Company may invest in the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation investment vehicles (“Collateralized Securities”). Structurally, Collateralized Securities are entities that are formed to manage a portfolio of senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in limited circumstances, unrated. The senior secured loans within these Collateralized Securities meet specified credit and diversity criteria and are subject to concentration limitations in order to create a diverse investment portfolio. The Company expects that each investment generally will range between approximately 0.5% to 3.0% of our total assets. In most cases, companies to whom the Company provides customized financing solutions will be privately held at the time it invests in them.

On January 25, 2011, the Company commenced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) on a “reasonable best efforts basis” of up to 150.0 million shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at an initial offering price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-166636) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company sold 22,222 shares of common stock to its Adviser on July 8, 2010 at $9.00 per share, which represented the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share minus selling commissions of $0.70 per share and dealer manager fees of $0.30 per share.  On August 25, 2011, the Company had raised sufficient funds to break escrow on its IPO and commenced operations as of that date. On February 1, 2012, the Adviser contributed an additional $1,300,000 to purchase 140,784 shares of our common stock at $9.234 per share so that the aggregate contribution by the Adviser was $1,500,000. The Adviser will not tender any amount of its shares for repurchase as long it continues to serve as our investment adviser. On July 1, 2014, the Company's registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-193241) for its follow-on offering (the "Follow-on") was declared effective by the SEC. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the registration statement of the Follow-on, the Company's IPO terminated. Under the Follow-on, the Company offered up to 101,100,000 shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had issued 177.9 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $1.9 billion including the shares purchased by the Sponsor and shares issued under the Company's distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP"). Following the time the Company's updated registration statement was declared effective on June 30, 2015, the Company issued shares for subscription agreements that had been accepted through that date. Other than shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, the Company has not issued any new shares of common stock since July 1, 2015 and does not intend to issue any new shares of common stock.
    
In addition, we are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, which, as defined in the 1940 Act, measures the ratio of total assets less total liabilities (excluding borrowings) to total borrowings, equals at least 200% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. We may use borrowed funds, known as “leverage,” to make investments and to attempt to increase returns to our stockholders by reducing our overall cost of capital. We currently have credit facilities with

(Unaudited)

Wells Fargo, Deutsche Bank, Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”), and UBS AG, London Branch ("UBS") and has sold $100.0 million in aggregate principal of senior notes. We previously had entered into a total return swap agreement (“TRS”) through a wholly owned, consolidated subsidiary, 405 TRS I, LLC (“405 Sub”) with Citi but we terminated the TRS with Citi in June 2014.
    
The Company has formed and expects to continue to form consolidated subsidiaries (the "Consolidated Holding Companies") to hold equity securities of portfolio companies. These Consolidated Holding Companies enable the Company to hold equity securities of portfolio companies organized as pass-through entities while continuing to satisfy the requirements of a RIC under the Code. Any tax payable by a Consolidated Holding Company is included as an expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2016, 54th Street Equity Holdings, Inc., Kahala Aviation Holdings, LLC, Kahala Aviation US, Inc., Kahala LuxCo, and Park Ave RE, Inc. were the only Consolidated Holding Companies.

The Company has entered into the Amended and Restated Administration Servicing Agreement and the Amended and Restated Accounting Servicing Agreement with US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Administrator”). The Administrator provides services, such as accounting, financial reporting, legal and compliance support and investor relations support, necessary for the Company to operate. On August 13, 2012, the Company entered into a custody agreement with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”). Under the custody agreement, U.S. Bank holds all of the portfolio securities and cash of the Company for certain of its subsidiaries, and transfers such securities or cash pursuant to the Company’s instructions. The custody agreement is terminable by either party, without penalty, on not less than ninety days prior notice to the other party.

On February 9, 2016, the Company and ARC Advisory Services, LLC (“ARC Advisory”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s investment adviser, entered into an agreement for ARC Advisory to provide the Company with administrative services necessary for the Company’s operation (the “ARC Administration Agreement”). Pursuant to the ARC Administration Agreement, ARC Advisory provides the Company with, among other things, office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services. In addition, ARC Advisory assists the Company in determining and publishing the Company’s net asset value and the filing of the Company’s tax returns. The Company will reimburse ARC Advisory for the costs and expenses incurred by ARC Advisory in performing its obligations pursuant to the ARC Administration Agreement.

On February 10, 2016, AR Global received written notice from American National Stock Transfer, LLC ("ANST"), the Company's transfer agent and an affiliate of the Company's Former Dealer Manager, that it would wind down operations by the end of the month. ANST withdrew as the transfer agent effective February 29, 2016. Subsequently, effective February 26, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement with our previous provider of sub-transfer agency services to provide us directly with transfer agency services (including broker and stockholder servicing, transaction processing, year-end IRS reporting and other services).


Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

The Company consolidates the following subsidiaries for accounting purposes: Funding I, 2L Funding I, CB Funding, Helvetica Funding LTD., and the Consolidated Holding Companies. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In conjunction with the consolidation of subsidiaries, the Company recognizes non-controlling interests attributable to third party ownership in the following Consolidated Holding Companies: Kahala Aviation Holdings, LLC, Kahala Aviation US, Inc., and Kahala LuxCo.

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, the financial statements may not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could

26

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)

cause actual results to differ materially. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2016.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.

Consolidation

As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946 - Financial Services - Investment Companies, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly-owned investment company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

Portfolio investments are reported on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows:

Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, the Company uses the quote obtained.

Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using 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 a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the 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 fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: 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 portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.

For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 946, as of the Company's measurement date.

For investments in Collateralized Securities, both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure are modeled. The model uses a waterfall engine to store the collateral data, generate collateral cash flows from the assets, and distribute the cash flows to the liability structure based on the priority of payments. The waterfall cash flows are discounted using rates that incorporate risk factors such as default risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk, among others. In addition, broker quotations and/or comparable trade activity is considered as an input to determining fair value when available. 

As part of the Company's quarterly valuation process the Adviser may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company. The board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and the the independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable).

27

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)


With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Adviser, potentially with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by our board of directors;
 
The independent valuation firm(s), if involved, will conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and

Our board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of our Adviser, independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of our board of directors.

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in its portfolio, the Company values substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by its board of directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company's investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.
    
Investment Classification

The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, "control" is defined as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. In addition, any person "who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25 per centum of the voting securities of a company shall be presumed to control such company. Any person who does not so own more than 25 per centum of the voting securities of any company shall be presumed not to control such company". Using this definition, the Company has determined to treat “Control Investments” as investments in companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities, maintains greater than 50% of the board representation or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Affiliated Investments” are defined as those non-control investments in companies in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Non-affiliated Investments” are defined as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments.

Where appropriate, prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to disclose the Company's Control Investments and Affiliate Investments as defined above. In addition, prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to present investment industry classifications in a consistent manner with the current year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments in a money market deposit account. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.


Offering Costs

The Company incurs certain costs in connection with the registration of shares of its common stock. Offering costs principally relate to professional fees, printing costs, direct marketing expenses, due diligence costs, fees paid to regulators and other expenses, including the expenses of the Adviser and its affiliates engaged in registering and marketing the Company’s common stock. Such allocated expenses of the Adviser and its affiliates may include the development of marketing materials and presentations, training and educational meetings, and generally coordinating the marketing process for the Company.

28

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)


Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company and the Adviser have agreed that the Company will not be liable for organization and offering costs, including transfer agent fees, in excess of 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Company’s on-going offering. Should the Company resume continually offering its shares, any offering costs incurred will be capitalized and amortized as an expense on a straight-line basis over a 12 month period. As of March 31, 2016, offering costs have not been incurred in excess of the 1.5% limit. As of December 31, 2015, offering costs have not been incurred in excess of the 1.5% limit.

Deferred Financing Costs

Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s Unsecured Notes and revolving credit facilities with Wells Fargo, Deutsche Bank, Citi, and UBS are capitalized and amortized into expense using the straight-line method over the life of the respective facility. See Note 5 - Borrowings - for details on the Credit Facilities.

Distributions

The Company’s board of directors has authorized, and the Company has declared, cash distributions payable on a monthly basis to stockholders of record on each day since it commenced operations. Since November 2013, the distribution rate has been $0.002378082 per day, which is equivalent to $0.868 per annum, per share of common stock (or an annualized rate for distributions declared of 7.78% based on our last public offering price of $11.15 per share).  In March 2016, the Company’s board of directors ratified the existing distribution amount equivalent to $0.868 per annum, and, for calendar year 2016, affirmed a change to the daily distribution amount to $0.002371585 per day per share of common stock, effective January 1, 2016, to accurately reflect that 2016 is a leap year. 

The amount of each such distribution will be subject to the discretion of the board of directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company will calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using record and declaration dates and accrue distributions on the date the Company accepts a subscription for shares of the Company’s common stock. The distributions are payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions, including capital gains distributions, at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s distributions may exceed earnings, especially during the period before it has substantially invested the proceeds from the offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions made by the Company may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is a return of each stockholder’s investment rather than earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities.

The Company may fund cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including expense payments from the Adviser that are subject to reimbursement, as well as offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortizations of premiums on investments.

The Company has a number of investments in Collateralized Securities. Interest income from investments in the "equity" class of these Collateralized Securities (in the Company's case, preferred shares or subordinated notes) is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC Topic 325-40-35, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. The Company monitors the expected cash inflows from its equity investments in Collateralized Securities, including the expected principal repayments. The effective yield is determined and updated quarterly.

(Unaudited)

Fee Income
Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned, either upfront or amortized into income using the straight line method. Upon the payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees are recorded as income.
Payment-in-Kind Interest/Dividends

The Company holds debt and equity investments in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and dividend provisions. The PIK interest and PIK dividend, which represent contractually deferred interest or dividends that add to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, are generally recorded on the accrual basis.

Non-accrual income

Investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest/dividend payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method. The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and 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 will reflect 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.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it distributes to stockholders at least 90% of ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each year. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year. The Company may also be subject to federal excise taxes of 4%.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 retains many current requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments; however, it significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. ASU 2016-01 also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted for public business entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard has on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  The ASU requires debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability.  The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 14, 2015.  The Company adopted this guidance during the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)

quarter ended March 31, 2016 and adjusted prior period balance sheets to reflect the change. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which amends the current consolidation guidance and ends the deferral granted to investment companies from applying the variable interest entity ("VIE") guidance. ASU 2015-02 changes the manner in which a reporting entity assesses one of the five characteristics that determine if an entity is a VIE. Accordingly, the Company has evaluated the impact of ASU 2015-02 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that the adoption of ASU 2015-02 has no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent)”. The guidance removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. Sufficient information must be provided to permit reconciliation of the fair value of assets categorized within the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The guidance is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Accordingly, the Company has retrospectively adopted ASU 2015-07, which removes investments measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient from the fair value hierarchy in all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2015-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 Note 3 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, if any, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.

(Unaudited)

All of the Company’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2016 was comprised of debt and equity instruments for which Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices, were not available. Therefore, at March 31, 2016, the investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the board of directors using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company's investments are trading, in determining fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the estimate of fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2016 may differ materially from values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the valuation policy approved by the board of directors. Portfolio investments are reported on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as described below.

Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, the Company uses the quote obtained.

Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using 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 a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the 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 fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: 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 portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.

For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, as of the Company's measurement date. Prior to its termination in June 2014, the value of our TRS was primarily based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, as determined by Citi based upon indicative pricing by an independent third-party pricing service.

For investments in Collateralized Securities, the Adviser models both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure. The model uses a waterfall engine to store the collateral data, generate collateral cash flows from the assets, and distribute the cash flows to the liability structure based on priority of payments. The waterfall cash flows are discounted using rates that incorporate risk factors such as default risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk, among others. In addition, the Adviser considers broker quotations and/or comparable trade activity is considered as an input to determining fair value when available. 

As part of the Company's quarterly valuation process, the Adviser may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company. The board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and the independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable).

Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had three portfolio companies, which represented three portfolio investments, on non-accrual status with a total principal amount of $56.3 million, amortized cost of $55.5 million, and fair value of $33.0

The remaining $35.4 million of senior secured second lien debt were valued based on broker quotes or at their respective acquisition prices as the investments closed near year end.
(d) 
The remaining $79.6 million of equity/other investments consisted of $79.2 million which were valued with consideration of their respective appraisal value, $0.0 million which were based on a Monte-Carlo simulation and $0.4 million which were valued based on Black-Scholes implementation of the Option Pricing Method.
(e) 
The remaining $1.8 million of subordinated debt were valued based on a Monte-Carlo simulation.

Increases or decreases in any of the above unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement for such assets.

Note 4 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

The Sponsor, including its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, the Adviser, owns 0.16 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2016.

Realty Capital Securities, LLC (our "Former Dealer Manager") served as the dealer manager of our IPO until May 2015, when we terminated our offering. RCS Capital Corporation, the parent company of the Former Dealer Manager and certain of its affiliates that provided services to us, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2016, prior to which it was also under common control with our Sponsor.

In January 2016, AR Global became the successor business to AR Capital, LLC and became the parent of the Company's current Sponsor.

Management and Incentive Fee Compensation to the Adviser
 
The Adviser receives fees for the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The Adviser is entitled to an annual base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of the Company’s average gross assets. The management fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and shall be calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of

37

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)

the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The management fee for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately prorated. In addition, any management fees waived by the Adviser are not subject to recoupment at a later date.
 
The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on 20% of “pre-incentive fee net investment income” but only after the payment of a certain preferred return rate to investors, as defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement, for the immediately preceding quarter of 1.75% per quarter, or an annualized rate of 7.0%, subject to a "catch-up" feature. The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the Company’s portfolio and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. Incentive fees waived by the Adviser are not subject to recoupment at a later date.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, the Company incurred $9.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively, of management fees, of which the Adviser did not waive any portion of such fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, the Company incurred $0.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of subordinated incentive fees on income, of which the Adviser waived $0.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, the Company did not incur any capital gains incentive fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

For accounting purposes only, the Company is required under U.S. GAAP to also accrue a theoretical capital gains incentive fee based upon unrealized capital appreciation on investments held at the end of each period. The accrual of this theoretical capital gains incentive fee assumes all unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation is realized in order to reflect a capital gains incentive fee that would theoretically be payable to the Adviser. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, the Company incurred $0.0 million and $0.7 million of theoretical capital gains incentive fees, respectively. The amounts actually paid to the Adviser will be consistent with the Advisers Act and formula reflected in the Investment Advisory Agreement which specifically excludes consideration of unrealized capital appreciation.

As a result of discussions with the SEC staff, the Company determined to no longer include TRS earnings in the computation of subordinated incentive fees, which was effective from January 1, 2014 through the termination of the TRS on June 27, 2014. The Adviser did not receive any additional fees as a result of the termination of the TRS, other than as a result of the increase in the Company’s assets and the fact that, effective June 27, 2014, realized gains and income received on loans formerly underlying the TRS beginning on the date on which the loans came on to the Company’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities will be included in the incentive fee calculation under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Any gains or income realized as a result of the termination of the TRS, however, will not be considered in the calculation of the incentive fee due to Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Expense Support Agreement

The Adviser and its affiliates may incur and pay costs and fees on behalf of the Company. The Company and its Adviser have entered into the Expense Support Agreement, whereby the Adviser may pay the Company up to 100% of all operating expenses (“Expense Support Payment”) for any period beginning November 4, 2011, the date our prior registration statement on Form N-2 was declared effective, and continuing until the Adviser and the Company mutually agree otherwise. The Expense Support Payment for any month shall be paid by the Adviser to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds and/or offsets against amounts due from the Company to the Adviser.

Operating expenses subject to this agreement include expenses as defined by U.S. GAAP, including, without limitation, advisory fees payable and interest on indebtedness for such period, if any.

(Unaudited)

Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Adviser for Expense Support Payments within three years of the date that the Expense Support Payment obligation was incurred by the Adviser, subject to the conditions described below. The amount of any reimbursement during any calendar quarter will be limited to an amount that does not cause the Company's other operating expenses to exceed 1.5% of its net assets attributable to common shares after taking such reimbursement payment into account.
     
In addition, the Company will only make reimbursement payments if its “operating expense ratio” (as described in footnote 1 to the table below) is equal to or less than its operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding expense payment was incurred and if the annualized rate of the Company's regular cash distributions to stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of its regular cash distributions to stockholders at the time the corresponding expense payment was incurred.

Below is a table that provides information regarding Expense Support Payment obligations incurred by the Adviser pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement as well as other information relating to the Company's ability to reimburse the Adviser for such payments. The amounts presented in the first column below, except as noted, are subject to reimbursement to the Adviser pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement (dollars in thousands):

"Operating Expense Ratio" is expressed as a percentage of net assets and includes all expenses borne by the Company, except for organizational and offering expenses, base management and incentive fees owed to our Adviser and interest expense.

(2) 
"Annualized Distribution Rate" equals the annualized rate of distributions paid to stockholders based on the amount of the regular cash distribution paid immediately prior to the date the Expense Support Payment obligation was incurred by our Adviser. "Annualized Distribution Rate" does not include special cash or stock distributions paid to stockholders.

"N/A"- Not Applicable

(4) 
Expense Support Payment is no longer eligible for reimbursement as of March 31, 2016.

If an Expense Support Payment has not been reimbursed within three years of the date such Expense Support Payment was incurred, the Company’s obligation to pay such Expense Support Payment shall automatically terminate and be of no further effect.
 
The Company has recorded $0.2 million and $0.2 million as due to affiliate on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which reflects the netting of amounts due from the Adviser and affiliates and amounts due from the Company. On August 24, 2012, the Adviser made a payment to the Company in the amount of $0.8 million for $1.0 million of operating expenses pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement netted against $0.2 million due from the Company to the Adviser as reimbursement for payments made by the Adviser on behalf of the Company. As of March 31, 2016, the Adviser had assumed on a cumulative basis, $1.0 million of operating expenses pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement and none of the cumulative total is eligible for reimbursement.

Offering Costs


39

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)

The Company incurs certain costs in connection with the registration of shares of its common stock. Offering costs principally relate to professional fees, printing costs, direct marketing expenses, due diligence costs, fees paid to regulators and other expenses, including the salaries and/or expenses of the Adviser and its affiliates engaged in registering and marketing the Company’s common stock. Such allocated expenses of the Adviser and its affiliates may include the development of marketing materials and presentations, training and educational meetings, and generally coordinating the marketing process for the Company.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company and the Adviser have agreed that the Company will not be liable for organization and offering expenses, including transfer agent fees, in excess of 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Company’s on-going offering. As of March 31, 2016, offering costs incurred were not in excess of the 1.5% limit. As of December 31, 2015, offering costs incurred were not in excess of the 1.5% limit.

Other Affiliates

The Company has entered into agreements with affiliates of the Sponsor, whereby it has paid and/or may in the future pay certain fees or reimbursements to the Adviser, its affiliates and entities under common ownership with the Adviser in connection with items such as acquisition and financing activities, sales and maintenance of common stock under its IPO, asset and property management services and reimbursement of operating and offering related costs. The predecessor to AR Global is a party to a services agreement with RCS Advisory Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the parent company of the Former Dealer Manager (“RCS Advisory”), pursuant to which RCS Advisory and its affiliates provided the Company and certain other companies sponsored by AR Global with services (including, without limitation, transaction management, compliance, due diligence, event coordination and marketing services among others) on a time and expenses incurred basis or at a flat rate based on services performed. The predecessor to AR Global instructed RCS Advisory to stop providing such services in November 2015 and no services have since been provided by RCS Advisory. The Company was also party to a transfer agency agreement with American National Stock Transfer, LLC, a subsidiary of the parent company of the Former Dealer Manager (“ANST”), pursuant to which ANST provided the Company with transfer agency services (including broker and stockholder servicing, transaction processing, year-end IRS reporting and other services), and supervisory services overseeing the transfer agency services performed by a third-party transfer agent. AR Global received written notice from ANST on February 10, 2016 that it would wind down operations by the end of the month and would withdraw as the transfer agent effective February 29, 2016. Subsequently, effective February 26, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with DST Systems, Inc., its previous provider of sub-transfer agency services, to directly provide the Company with transfer agency services (including broker and stockholder servicing, transaction processing, year-end IRS reporting and other services).

Due (to)/from affiliate
 
The due from affiliate receivable primarily consists of the organization and offering expenses incurred in excess of 1.5% of gross proceeds as the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Company for these costs per the Investment Advisory Agreement plus non offering costs due from the Adviser such as administrative and professional fees. These receivables are offset by non offering costs payable to the Adviser and offering costs payable.

As of March 31, 2016, offering costs payable no longer includes offering costs that are payable to third parties. In prior periods, offering costs payable to third parties were included in due (to)/from affiliate as they were an offset to the organization and offering costs in excess of 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Company’s on-going offering that were the responsibility of the Adviser. Total organization and offering costs do not exceed 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds at March 31, 2016 so offering costs payable to third parties is no longer applicable as an offsetting balance in due (to)/from affiliate.

Note 5 — Borrowings

Wells Fargo Credit Facility

UBS Credit Facility

On April 7, 2015, the Company, through a wholly-owned, special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, BDCA Helvetica Funding, Ltd. ("Helvetica Funding") entered into a debt financing facility with UBS AG, London Branch (“UBS”), pursuant to which $150.0 million will be made available to the Company to fund investments in new securities and for other general corporate purposes (the “UBS Credit Facility”). The UBS Credit Facility was subsequently amended on July 10, 2015 to increase the amount of debt available to the Company under the facility from $150.0 million to $210.0 million. Pricing under the transaction is based on three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.90% per annum for the relevant period.

Unsecured Notes

On August 26, 2015, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with the Initial Purchasers, relating to the Company’s sale of $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% fixed rate senior notes due 2020 to the Initial Purchasers in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and for initial resale by the Initial Purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (the "Unsecured Notes"). The Company relied upon these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Initial Purchasers. The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The Unsecured Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The net proceeds from the sale of the Unsecured Notes was approximately $97.9 million, after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions of approximately $1.58 million payable by the Company and estimated offering expenses of approximately $0.5 million payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to make investments in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives and for general corporate purposes. 
    
The Unsecured Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of August 31, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee. The Unsecured Notes will mature on September 1, 2020, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time, or from time to time, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. The Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per year payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2016. The Unsecured Notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Unsecured Notes. The Unsecured Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities, including credit facilities held by the Company’s wholly owned, special purpose financing subsidiaries. 

The Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to: (i) comply with the asset coverage requirements of Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act as in effect immediately prior to the issuance of the Unsecured Notes, whether or not the Company is subject to such provisions; (ii) provide financial information to the holders of the Unsecured Notes and the Trustee if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (iii) maintain total unencumbered assets, as defined in the Indenture, of at least 175% of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Company and the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries’ outstanding unsecured debt determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.

The weighted average annualized interest cost for all borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 was 3.46% and 2.39%, respectively. The average daily debt outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 was $873.1 million and $609.6 million, respectively. The maximum debt outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 was $922.3 million and $608.7 million, respectively.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into future funding commitments. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $50.5 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $23.6 million and unfunded equity commitments of $11.7 million. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $48.7 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $18.9 million and unfunded equity commitments of $11.8 million. The unfunded commitments are disclosed in the Company's Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation, claims and regulatory matters. The Company has no knowledge of material legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company at this time.
 
Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur that lead to the execution of these provisions against the Company. Based on its history and experience, management feels that the likelihood of such an event is remote.

Guarantees

The Company has provided a guarantee to its controlled portfolio company, Park Ave RE Holdings, LLC, in connection with a secured loan whereby the Company will be responsible for certain liabilities of the portfolio company upon the occurrence of certain events (such as a bankruptcy or the incurrence of additional indebtedness in violation of the terms of the loan).

Note 7 — Economic Dependency
 
Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Adviser and its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and investor relations.
  
As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Adviser and its affiliates. In the event that these companies were unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company would be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Note 8 — Common Stock

On August 25, 2011, the Company had raised sufficient funds to break escrow on its IPO. On July 1, 2014, the Company's registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-193241) for its Follow-on was declared effective by the SEC. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the registration statement of the Follow-on, the Company's IPO terminated. Through March 31, 2016, the Company sold 177.9 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $1.9 billion, including shares purchased by the Sponsor and shares issued under the DRIP. Following the time the Company's updated registration statement was declared effective on June 30, 2015, the Company issued shares for subscription agreements that had been accepted through that date. The Company is no longer issuing new shares except for DRIP shares. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had repurchased 5.7 million shares of common stock for payments of $54.8 million.

The following table reflects the common stock activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands except share amounts):

Note 9 — Share Repurchase Program

The Company intends to conduct semi-annual tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program ("SRP"). The Company’s board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:

 
the effect of such repurchases on the Company's qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);
 
the liquidity of the Company's assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);
 
the Company's investment plans and working capital requirements;
 
the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company's size;
 
the Company's history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof; and
 
the condition of the securities markets.
    
On March 8, 2016, the Company's board of directors amended the Company's SRP. The Company will conduct tender offers on a semi-annual basis, instead of on a quarterly basis as was done previously. The Company will continue to limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 5.0% at each semi-annual tender offer. In addition, in the event of a stockholder’s death or disability, any repurchases of shares made in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability may be included within the overall limitation imposed on tender offers during the relevant redemption period, which provides that the Company may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock the Company is able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period.

Share amounts in the table above represent amounts filed in the Tender Offer.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had repurchased 5.7 million shares of common stock for payments of $54.8 million. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had repurchased 2.7 million shares of common stock for payments of $27.6 million.
    
Note 10 — Net Increase in Net Assets

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. The Company had no potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase (decrease) in net assets per share from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 (dollars in thousands except share and per share amounts):

Note 11 — Distributions

The Company’s board of directors has authorized, and the Company has declared, cash distributions payable on a monthly basis to stockholders of record on each day since it commenced operations. Since November 2013, the distribution rate has been $0.002378082 per day, which is equivalent to $0.868 per annum, per share of common stock (or an annualized rate for distributions declared of 7.78% based on our last public offering price of $11.15 per share).  In March 2016, the Company’s board of directors ratified the existing distribution amount equivalent to $0.868 per annum, and, for calendar year 2016, affirmed a change to the daily distribution amount to $0.002371585 per day per share of common stock, effective January 1, 2016, to accurately reflect that 2016 is a leap year.

The amount of each such distribution will be subject to the discretion of the board of directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company will calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using record and declaration dates and accrue distributions on the date the Company accepts a subscription for shares of the Company’s common stock. The distributions are payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month.

From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions at the discretion of its board of directors. The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to it, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets. The Company’s distributions may exceed its earnings, especially during the period before the Company has substantially invested the proceeds from its IPO and Follow-on. As a result, a portion of the distributions the Company will make may represent a return of capital for tax purposes. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had accrued $13.1 million in stockholder distributions that were unpaid. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had accrued $13.2 million in stockholder distributions that were unpaid.

The Company has not established any limit on the extent to which it may use borrowings, if any, or proceeds from its IPO and Follow-on to fund distributions (which may reduce the amount of capital it ultimately invests in assets). There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain distributions at any particular level.

Note 12 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders

The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it meets, certain quarterly asset diversification requirements, annual income tests, and distributes to stockholders its ‘‘Investment Company Taxable Income,’’ as defined in the Code, each taxable year. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year. The Company may also be subject to federal excise taxes of 4%.

A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its “investment company taxable income” (which is, generally, ordinary income plus net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses). If our

expenses in a given taxable year exceed gross taxable income (e.g., as the result of large amounts of equity-based compensation), we would incur a net operating loss for that year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent taxable years and such net operating losses do not pass through to the RIC’s stockholders. In addition, deductible expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. A RIC may not use any net capital losses (that is, realized capital losses in excess of realized capital gains) to offset the RIC’s investment company taxable income, but may carry forward such net capital losses, and use them to offset capital gains indefinitely. Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses and net capital losses, we may for tax purposes have aggregate taxable income for several taxable years that we are required to distribute and that is taxable to our stockholders even if such taxable income is greater than the aggregate net income we actually earned during those taxable years. Such required distributions may be made from our cash assets or by liquidation of investments, if necessary. We may realize gains or losses from such liquidations. In the event we realize net capital gains from such transactions, you may receive a larger capital gain distribution than you would have received in the absence of such transactions.

The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes, nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company's 2013 and 2014 federal tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a deferred asset of $1.1 million and a deferred liability of $(3.9) million.  Given the losses generated by certain entities, deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances of $1.1 million. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a deferred asset of $2.1 million and a deferred liability of $(3.0) million. Given the losses generated by certain entities, deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances of $2.1 million.

The deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been determined pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, including the Company's estimation of future taxable income, if necessary, and is adequate to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

(1) 
The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Net investment income per share excluding the expense waiver and reimbursement equals $0.19 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
(2) 
The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions declared per share during the period.
(3) 
The issuance of common stock on a per share basis reflects the incremental net asset value changes as a result of the issuance of shares of common stock mainly from the Company's dividend reinvestment program.
(4) 
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, excluding the expense waiver and reimbursement, the ratio of net investment income and total expenses to average net assets is 7.73% and 5.12%, respectively.
(5) 
Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of shares of common stock at the current net asset value on the first day and a sale at the current net asset value on the last day of the periods reported. Distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the DRIP. The total return based on net asset value for the three months ended March 31, 2015, includes the effect of the expense waiver and reimbursement which equaled 0.22%.
(6) 
Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of year-to-date purchases or sales over the average of the invested assets at fair value. Not annualized.
(7) 
Ratios are annualized, except for incentive fees.
(8) 
Offering cost are not included as an expense in the calculation of this ratio.

Overview

We are a specialty finance company incorporated in Maryland in May 2010. We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and is applying the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services - Investment Companies" ("ASC 946").

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and to a lesser extent long-term capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt issued by middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with annual revenues between $10 million

56



and $1 billion. We may also purchase interests in loans through secondary market transactions in the "over-the-counter" market for institutional loans. First and second lien secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt and equity in bankruptcy priority and are generally secured by liens on the operating assets of a borrower which may include inventory, receivables, plant, property and equipment. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured. We may invest in the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation investment vehicles ("Collateralized Securities"). Structurally, Collateralized Securities are entities that are formed to manage a portfolio of senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in limited circumstances, unrated. The senior secured loans within these Collateralized Securities meet specified credit and diversity criteria and are subject to concentration limitations in order to create a diverse investment portfolio. We expect that each investment will generally range between approximately 0.5% to 3.0% of our total assets. In most cases, companies to whom we provide customized financing solutions will be privately held at the time we invest in them.
    
Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As our expected operating plans occur we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in addition to those discussed below.

Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. These significant accounting estimates include:

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

Portfolio investments are reported on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis the Adviser performs an analysis of each investment to assist the Board in its determination of fair value as follows:

Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, the Company uses the quote obtained.

Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using 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 a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Adviser may take into account in fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: 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 portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.

57




For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Adviser measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board, ("FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification, ("ASC"), Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, as of the Company's measurement date. The value of our TRS was primarily based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, as determined by Citi based upon indicative pricing by an independent third-party pricing service.

Prior to its termination in June 2014, the value of our TRS was primarily based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, as determined by Citi based upon indicative pricing by an independent third-party pricing service.

For investments in Collateralized Securities, the Adviser models both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure. The model uses a waterfall engine to store the collateral data, generate collateral cash flows from the assets, and distribute the cash flows to the liability structure based on the priority of payments. The waterfall cash flows are discounted using rates that incorporate risk factors such as default risk, recovery risk, prepayment risk, reinvestment risk, and interest rate risk, among others. In addition, the Adviser considers broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services as an input to determining fair value when available.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Adviser, potentially with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by our board of directors;
 
The independent valuation firm(s), if involved, will conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and

Our board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of our Adviser, independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of our board of directors.

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in its portfolio, the Company values substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by its board of directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company's investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement we have with the Adviser, we pay the Adviser a fee for its services consisting of two components - a management fee and an incentive fee. The management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of our average gross assets and is payable quarterly in arrears.

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. The payment of the subordinated incentive fee on income is subject to payment of a preferred return to investors each quarter, expressed as a quarterly rate of return on adjusted capital at the beginning of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 1.75% (7.00% annualized), subject to a “catch up” feature.

The second part of the incentive fee, referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the portfolio and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of our incentive fee capital gains, which equals our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed

58



net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. Realized gains received from loans underlying the total return swap we had with Citi were not included for purposes of evaluating the incentive fee on capital gains.
 
We have entered into the Amended and Restated Administration Servicing Agreement and the Amended and Restated Accounting Servicing Agreement with US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Administrator”). The Administrator provides services, such as accounting, financial reporting and compliance support, necessary to operate. On August 13, 2012, we entered into a custody agreement with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”). Under the custody agreement, U.S. Bank holds all of our portfolio securities and cash for certain of our subsidiaries, and transfers such securities or cash pursuant to our instructions. The custody agreement is terminable by either party, without penalty, on not less than ninety days prior notice to the other party. Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the "Former Dealer Manager") served as the dealer manager of our IPO until May 2015, when we terminated our offering. RCS Capital Corporation, the parent company of the Former Dealer Manager and certain of its affiliates that provided services to us, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2016, prior to which it was also under common control with our Sponsor.

On February 9, 2016, we and ARC Advisory Services, LLC (“ARC Advisory”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Adviser, entered into an agreement pursuant to which ARC Advisory provides us with administrative services necessary for our operation (the “ARC Administration Agreement”). Pursuant to the ARC Administration Agreement, ARC Advisory provides us with, among other things, office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services. In addition, ARC Advisory assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value and the filing of our tax returns. We will reimburse ARC Advisory for the costs and expenses incurred by ARC Advisory in performing its obligations pursuant to the ARC Administration Agreement.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it distributes at least 90% of its ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each year. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. We intend to distribute sufficient distributions to maintain our RIC status each year. We may also be subject to federal excise taxes of 4%.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and 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.

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of other accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we made $144.3 million of investments in new and existing portfolio companies and had $130.0 million in aggregate amount of exits and repayments, resulting in net investments of $14.3 million for the period. The portfolio composition by loan market at fair value consisted of 81.4% Middle Market (1), 4.0% Large Corporate (2), and 14.6% Other (3) investments. In addition, the total portfolio of debt investments at fair value consisted of 91.0% bearing variable interest rates and 9.0% bearing fixed interest rates.

Portfolio Asset Quality

Our Adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Adviser grades the credit risk of all debt investments on a scale of 1 to 5 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio debt investment relative to the inherent risk at the time the original debt investment was made (i.e., at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company's business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors.
 Loan Rating
 
Summary Description
1
  
Debt investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since the time of investment are favorable.
 
 
2
  
Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable. All investments are initially rated a “2”.
 
 
3
  
Performing debt investment requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration.
 
 
4
  
Underperforming debt investment. Some loss of interest or dividend expected, but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative.
 
 
5
  
Underperforming debt investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

The weighted average risk ratings of our investments based on fair value was 2.21 and 2.19 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, we had three portfolio companies, which represented three portfolio investments, on non-accrual status. These investments had a total principal of $56.3 million and a total fair value of $33.0 million, which represented 2.2% and 1.4%, respectively, of our portfolio as of March 31, 2016. We are currently evaluating potential value recovery alternatives for these investments. As of December 31, 2015, we had three portfolio company, which represented three portfolio investments, on non-accrual status. These investments had a total principal of $51.9 million and a total fair value of $33.0 million, which represented 2.0% and 1.4%, respectively, of our portfolio as of December 31, 2015.

Net realized gain/(loss) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, net of deferred taxes, resulted in a net loss of $(13.2) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to a net loss of $(2.4) million for the same period in 2015. We look at net realized gains and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) together, as movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations.

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily driven by the unrealized depreciation on our Collateralized Securities and our Fund Investments. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily driven by the unrealized depreciation of $(4.4) million on a portfolio company investment that was not meeting performance expectations and was partially offset by net unrealized appreciation across the remainder of the portfolio. In total, we sold or repaid $130.0 million and $206.6 million, respectively, of assets during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015.
        
Changes in Net Assets from Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $20.3 million versus a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $31.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily attributable to net unrealized depreciation on investments of $(14.4) million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 which was driven by the overall market decline in broadly syndicated loan prices and unrealized depreciation across the portfolio of Collateralized Securities due to decreased liquidity in the market for this asset class and a decline in the market values of the collateral loans in the underlying securities. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.11 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, versus a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $0.19 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Cash Flows

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $16.5 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions and sales of portfolio
investments, among other factors. The increase in cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to 130.0 million in sales and repayments of investments. offset by cash used in operating activities for purchases of $144.3 million. This offset was far less than the prior period offset of $71.7 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $29.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily related to net proceeds from the Wells Fargo Credit Facility and the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility of $80.0 million. These inflows were partially offset by payments of stockholder distributions of $23.2 million and repurchases of common stock of $27.2 million.
    
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash used in operating activities was $16.3 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions and sales of portfolio investments, among other factors. The increase in cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to $278.3 million for purchases of investments partially offset by cash provided by operating activities of $206.6 million for sales and repayments of investments, $11.8 million from a decrease in unsettled trades payable, and $31.1 million from a net increase in net assets from operations. The purchase and sales activity is driven by the increase in investment activity resulting from the continuous equity capital raising and growing capital base.
    
Net cash provided by financing activities of $37.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily related to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $68.8 million. These inflows were partially offset by principal repayments on debt of $10.0 million and payments of stockholder distributions of $17.3 million. Consistent with the increase in investment activity, the proceeds from the issuance of common stock are the result of our increasing equity raise capabilities.

Recent Developments

From April 1, 2016 to May 2, 2016, we made distributions of $25.8 million. These distributions consisted of $20.1 million in cash and $0.6 million shares of common stock issued pursuant to the DRIP. Total gross proceeds from the issuance from shares issued pursuant to the DRIP were $5.7 million.
    
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We generate cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments, as well as proceeds from sales of our investments and, previously, from the net proceeds of our continuous public offering. The Registration Statement offering for sale up to $1.5 billion of shares of our common stock (150.0 million shares at an initial offering price of $10.00 per share) (the "Offering"), was declared effective on January 27, 2011. On July 1, 2014, our registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-193241) for our follow-on offering (the "Follow-on") was declared effective by the SEC. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the Follow-on, our IPO terminated. Under the Follow-on, we can offer up to 101,100,000 shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2016, we had issued 177.9 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1.9 billion including shares issued to the Sponsor and shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP").
 
Our principal demands for funds in both the short-term and long-term are for portfolio investments, for the payment of operating expenses, distributions to our investors, repurchases under our share repurchase program, and for the payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. We may also from time to time enter into other agreements with third parties whereby third parties will contribute to specific investment opportunities. Items other than investment acquisitions are expected to be met from a combination of the proceeds from the sale of common stock, cash flows from operations, and, during our IPO and Follow-on, reimbursements from the Adviser. We closed the Offering to new investments on April 30, 2015. In order to allow for associated processing time needed, our transfer agent accepted subscriptions in good order dated on or before April 30, 2015 and received no later than June 30, 2015.

We have entered into the Expense Support Agreement with our Adviser, whereby the Adviser may pay the Expense Support Payment for any period beginning on the effective date of the Registration Statement, until we and the Adviser mutually agree otherwise. The purpose of the Expense Support Agreement was to reduce our offering and operating expenses to ensure that we were able to bear a reasonable level of expense in relation to our investment income. The Expense Support Payment for any month shall be paid to us by the Adviser in cash and/or offset against amounts due from us to the Adviser. Operating expenses subject to this agreement include expenses as defined by U.S. GAAP, including, without limitation, advisory fees payable and interest on indebtedness for such period, if any. As of March 31, 2016, the Adviser had made cumulative payments to us for $1.0 million of expenses pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement and none of the cumulative total is eligible for reimbursement. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Adviser made no payments to us for expenses pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement. See Note 4 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - Expense Support Agreement - in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information on this arrangement, including Expense Payments made by our Adviser pursuant to the terms of this agreement and the ability of the Adviser to be reimbursed for Expense Payments made to us.

Other potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from private offerings, proceeds from the sale of investments and undistributed funds from operations. However, our ability to incur additional debt will be dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. Our ability to raise proceeds in our public offering will be dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for BDCs and market perceptions about us.

We intend to conduct semi-annual tender offers pursuant to our share repurchase program. Our board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause us to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:

the effect of such repurchases on our qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);
the liquidity of our assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);
our investment plans and working capital requirements;
the relative economies of scale with respect to our size;
our history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof; and
the condition of the securities markets.

On March 8, 2016, our board of directors amended our share repurchase program. We will begin to make tender offers on a semi-annual basis, instead of on a quarterly basis as was done previously. We will continue to limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 5.0% at each semi-annual tender offer. In addition, in the event of a stockholder’s death or disability, any repurchases of shares made in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability may be included within the overall limitation imposed on tender offers during the relevant redemption period, which provides that we may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock we are able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period.

Distributions

Our board of directors has authorized, and we have declared, cash distributions payable on a monthly basis to stockholders of record on each day since we commenced operations. Since November 2013, the distribution rate has been $0.002378082 per day, which is equivalent to $0.868 per annum, per share of common stock (or an annualized rate for distributions declared of 7.78% based on our last public offering price of $11.15 per share).  In March 2016, our board of directors ratified the existing distribution amount equivalent to $0.868 per annum, and, for calendar year 2016, affirmed a change to the daily distribution amount to $0.002371585 per day per share of common stock, effective January 1, 2016, to accurately reflect that 2016 is a leap year.

The amount of each such distribution will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. We will calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using record and declaration dates and accrue distributions on the date we accept a subscription for shares of our common stock. The distributions are payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month.

From time to time, we may also pay interim distributions at the discretion of our board of directors. Our distributions may exceed our earnings, especially during the period before we have substantially invested the proceeds from our IPO. As a result, a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital for tax purposes.

The table below shows the components of the distributions we have declared and/or paid during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016, we had $13.1 million of distributions accrued and unpaid.

We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to us including expense payments from our Adviser that are subject to reimbursement to it as well as offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. Prior to June 30, 2012, a substantial portion of our distributions resulted from Expense Support Payments made by our Adviser that are subject to reimbursement by us within three years from the date such payment obligations were incurred. The purpose of this arrangement could be to avoid such distributions being characterized as returns of capital for GAAP or tax purposes. Despite this, we may still have distributions which could be characterized as a return of capital for tax purposes. You should understand that any such distributions were not based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or our Adviser continues to make such reimbursements. You should also understand that our future reimbursements of such Expense Support Payments will reduce the distributions that you would otherwise receive. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the performance necessary to sustain our distributions or that we will be able to pay distributions at all. The Adviser has no obligation to make Expense Support Payments in future periods. No Expense Support Payments were made by our Adviser during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The following table sets forth the distributions made during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (dollars in thousands):

Election as a RIC

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code commencing with our taxable year ended December, 31 2011, and intend to maintain our qualification as a RIC thereafter. As a RIC, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders from our tax earnings and profits. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, in order to maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gain over realized net long-term capital loss, or the annual distribution requirement. Even if we qualify as a RIC, we generally will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income and could be subject to U.S federal excise, state, local and foreign taxes. We may be subject to a 4% U.S. Federal excise tax.

Inflation

The impact of inflation on our portfolio depends on the type of securities we hold. When inflation occurs, the value of our equity securities may fall in the short term.  However in the long term, a company’s revenue and earnings and, therefore, the value of the equity investment, should at least increase at the same pace as inflation. The effect of inflation on debt securities is more immediate and direct as inflation may decrease the value of fixed rate debt securities. However, not all debt securities are affected equally, the longer the term of the debt security, the more volatile the value of the investment. The process through which we will value the investments in our portfolio on a quarterly basis, market quotations and our multi-step valuation process as described in our significant accounting policies, will take the effect of inflation into account. 

 Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
 
We have entered into agreements with affiliates of our Adviser, whereby we pay certain fees or reimbursements to our Adviser or its affiliates in connection with asset and service fees, reimbursement of operating costs and offering related costs. See Note 4 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - for a discussion of the various related-party transactions,
agreements and fees.

Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into future funding commitments. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $50.5 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $23.6 million and unfunded equity commitments of $11.7 million. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $48.7 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $18.9 million and unfunded equity commitments of $11.8 million. The unfunded commitments are disclosed in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments.


ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to interest rate fluctuations. Many factors including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes in earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. During the periods covered by this report, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities. We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

As of March 31, 2016, our debt included variable-rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.57% and fixed rate debt, bearing an interest rate of 6.00% with a total carrying value of $922.3 million. The following table quantifies the potential changes in interest income net of interest expense should interest rates increase by 100 or 200 basis points or decrease by 25 basis points assuming that our current statement of assets and liabilities was to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity.

(+) 100 Basis Points

Because we may borrow money to make investments, our net investment income may be dependent on the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of increasing interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were (a) designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and reported in an accurate manner and on a timely basis and the information that we are required to disclose in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management to permit timely decisions with respect to required disclosure and (b) operating in an effective manner.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of March 31, 2016, neither we nor our Adviser are defendants in any material pending legal proceeding, and no such material proceedings are known to be contemplated. However, from time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under the contracts with our portfolio companies. Third parties may also seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I., “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
