PARKVIEW CAPITAL CREDIT, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share information)

 

NOTE A – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Parkview Capital Credit, Inc. (the “Company”), was legally formed on November 25, 2014 (“Inception”) as a Maryland corporation and commenced its principal operations on April 24, 2015, commensurate with the raising of $20,000 through the sale of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) on February 12, 2016, and intends to elect to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 

The Company is an investment company that follows the specialized accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services Investment Companies.” 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Additionally, the accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company and related financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial results included herein contain all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the period included herein. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. 

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. 

Organizational Expenses: Fees associated with the organization of the Company have been expensed as incurred. These fees consist primarily of legal fees. 

Income Taxes: No tax expense has been recorded due to losses incurred to date. There is no evidence to record a deferred tax asset on a more likely than not basis that future levels of taxable income would be sufficient to utilize such asset. 

The Company has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As a BDC, the Company also intends to elect to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, the Company generally will not be required to pay corporate level federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes to its stockholders as dividends. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income” for that year, which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses. As a result, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company represents obligations of the Company’s common stockholders and will not be reflected in the financial statements of the Company for the years in which it qualifies as a RIC. 

Although the Company may not be subject to federal income taxes as a RIC, it may choose to retain a portion of its calendar year income. If so, the Company may be subject to a 4% excise tax on the amount retained. No excise taxes were accrued for the three month period ended March 31, 2016. 

Prior to 2016, the Company did not qualify as a RIC and was taxed as a C corporation (“C-Corp”) for both 2014 and 2015. The Company intends to qualify as a RIC in the future. In order to qualify as a RIC, the Company must distribute before the end of its first qualifying year all earnings and profits accumulated in prior non-RIC tax years. There were no earnings and profits prior to 2016. Built-in gains by a C-Corp electing to be a RIC may be subject to tax if realized during the first five years of RIC status. The Company did not have a net unrealized built-in gain at March 31, 2016.

 

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reversed and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. All tax years are open for examination. 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no tax expenses and no interest and penalties incurred.  

 

Revenue Recognition: Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums are accreted or amortized, respectively, using the effective interest method as interest income. Dividend income is recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amount. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and amortized as interest income over the respective term of the loan. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts. 

The Company may have loans or preferred securities in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provisions. PIK represents interest or dividends that are accrued and recorded as interest or dividend income at the contractual rates, increases the loan or preferred equity principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company received PIK income of $18. The Company did not receive PIK income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 since the Company had not commenced principal operations until April 24, 2015. 

 

Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized depreciation on investments in the statements of operations. 

Earnings per Share: 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 common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis.  

Investments: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. The Company considers trade date for investments not traded on a recognizable exchange, or traded in the over-the-counter markets, to be the date on which the Company receives legal or contractual title to the asset and bears the risk of loss. 

Investments in senior loans generate a fixed spread over floating base rates such as LIBOR or the U.S. Prime Rate. These floating base rates generally reset either monthly, quarterly or semi-annually. 

Valuation of Portfolio Securities: The Company determines the net asset value per share of its common stock quarterly. The net asset value per share equals the value of the Company’s total assets minus liabilities and any preferred stock outstanding divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. The Company’s investments are valued at the end of each fiscal quarter. 

Substantially all of the Company’s investments are expected to be in loans that do not have readily ascertainable market prices. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or multiple broker-dealers or market makers. In order to assist the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) in determining the fair value of assets that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available, Parkview Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) will provide the Board with portfolio company valuations, which are based on relevant inputs, which may include but are not limited to, indicative dealer quotes, values of like securities, recent portfolio company financial statements and forecasts, and valuations prepared by third party valuation services. The Board has also retained an independent valuation provider to assist it by performing certain limited third-party valuation services. In connection with the valuation determination, investment professionals from the Advisor will prepare portfolio company valuations using sources and/or proprietary models depending on the availability of information on the Company’s assets and the type of asset being valued, all in accordance with the Company’s valuation policy. The participation of the Advisor in the valuation process could result in a conflict of interest, since the base management fee is based on the Company’s gross assets.  

 

Valuation of fixed income investments, such as loans and debt securities, depends upon a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates for like securities, expected volatility in future interest rates, call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt. For investments without readily available market prices, the Company may incorporate these factors into discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that may be considered include the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, the fair market value of the borrower in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt and the quality of collateral securing our debt investments. 

The Company’s equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. The Board, in its determination of fair value, may consider various factors, such as multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or the actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items. 

 

The Advisor’s management team, any approved independent third-party valuation service provider and the Board may also consider private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party investments in the portfolio companies or industry practices in determining fair value. The Advisor’s management team, any approved independent third-party valuation service provider and the Board may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses, and may apply discounts or premiums, where and as appropriate, due to the higher (or lower) financial risk and/or the smaller size of portfolio companies relative to comparable firms, as well as such other factors as the Board, in consultation with the Advisor’s management team and any approved independent third-party valuation service provider, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of the equity interests in public companies for which market quotations are readily available will be based upon the most recent closing public market price. Portfolio securities that carry certain restrictions on sale are typically valued at a discount from the public market value of the security.

 

When the Company receives warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional cost in connection with an investment in a debt security, the cost basis in the investment will be allocated between the debt securities and any such warrants or other equity securities received at the time of origination. The Board subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.

 

The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices received from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers, as applicable, against the actual prices at which it purchases and sells investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of management in purchasing and selling these investments, the Company believes that these prices are reliable indicators of fair value. However, because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported), the Company believes that these valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company may also use other methods, including the use of an independent valuation firm, to determine fair value for securities for which it cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through third-party pricing services or independent dealers, or where the Board otherwise determines that the use of such other methods is appropriate. The Company periodically benchmarks the valuations provided by the independent valuation firm against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells investments. The audit committee and Board reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation policy.

 

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 investment portfolio may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 explicitly requires management to evaluate, at each annual or interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that exist that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements.

 

 

NOTE C – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Advisory Agreement

 

On March 11, 2015, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Advisor for management services (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor is owned by SKW Financial, LLC, an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor provides credit analysis, structuring capability and transactional experience. The fees associated with the Investment Advisory Agreement consist of a base management fee and incentive fees.

 

The management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 2.00% of the end-of-period gross assets payable monthly in arrears. For purposes of calculating the management fee, the term “gross assets” includes any assets acquired with the proceeds of leverage. As a result, the Advisor will benefit when the Company incurs debt or uses leverage. For each of the first two months of operations, the management fee was calculated based on the value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of such month, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances during these months. Following the Company’s first two months of operations, the Investment Advisory Agreement provides that the management fee is calculated based on the average value of gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed months. The Company has clarified its management fee calculation so that the management fee is calculated by averaging the value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed quarters, and appropriately adjusting for any share issuances occurring during any month of the current quarter. Management fees for any partial month are appropriately prorated. In order to meet the diversification tests required to qualify as a RIC, the Company, on March 31, 2016, acquired $12,500 in face value of short-term U.S. Treasury Bills with a 3% cash requirement. This transaction had the effect of increasing management fees payable to the Advisor in an amount of $31, all of which was waived by the Advisor. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred management fees of $191, net of the fee waiver of $31. No management fees were incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2015 since the Company had not commenced principal operations until April 24, 2015.

 

The incentive fee is divided into two parts: (i) an incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains.

 

The incentive fee on income is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based upon the Company’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter. The incentive fee on income is subject to a hurdle rate, measured quarterly and expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital at the beginning of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 1.75% (7.0% annualized), subject to a “catch up” feature. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not accrue any incentive fees on income.

 

The incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement). This fee will equal 20% of realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not accrue any incentive fees on capital gains.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company reimbursed the Advisor $22 and $0, respectively, and has accrued an additional $7 as of March 31, 2016 for amounts owed by the Company to third party providers of services paid by the Advisor on the Company’s behalf and reimbursements for company-related travel.

 

Administration Agreement

 

On March 11, 2015, the Company entered into an administration agreement with Parkview Administrator, LLC (the “Administrator”), under which the Administrator will provide administrative services to the Company (the “Administration Agreement”). These services include providing office space, providing equipment and office services, maintaining financial records, preparing reports to the Company’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC and managing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. The Company will reimburse the Administrator for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator in providing these services, facilities and personnel, as provided by the Administration Agreement.

 

License Agreement

 

On March 11, 2015, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with the Advisor, pursuant to which the Company was granted a non-exclusive license to use the name “Parkview.” Under the License Agreement, the Company has a right to use the “Parkview” name and logo, as long as the Advisor or one of its affiliates remains the Company’s investment adviser. Other than with respect to this limited license, the Company has no legal right to the “Parkview” name or logo.

 

Other Related Party Matters

 

On May 21, 2015, the SEC filed an Order Instituting Proceedings alleging violations of federal securities laws against the Company’s former Chairman, Mr. Laurence O. Gray, and Gray Financial Group, Inc., an entity controlled by Mr. Gray that manages GrayCo Alternative Partners II, LP, the Company’s largest unaffiliated stockholder. As a result of such order, Mr. Gray resigned from the Board and as Chairman of the Board on May 28, 2015. Additionally, Mr. Gray’s ownership in the Advisor, held through Gray & Company, was transferred back to the Advisor on May 28, 2015, leaving SKW Financial, LLC as the sole owner of the Advisor. Mr. Gray’s resignation was not the result of any matter related to the Company's operations, policies and/or practices. There is uncertainty about what impact this may have on the Company, if any; however, management of the Company does not believe Mr. Gray's resignation or the order will have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition or operations.

NOTE E – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. Accounting guidance emphasizes that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the investment as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 — Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable at the measurement date. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets including actionable bids from third parties for privately held assets or liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves and forward currency rates that are entered directly into valuation models to determine the value of derivatives or other assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date.

 

The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and is based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the market or income approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, beta and EBITDA multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.

 

Pricing inputs and weightings applied to determine value require subjective determination. Accordingly, valuations do not necessarily represent the amounts that may eventually be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments.

 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The following table presents the fair value measurements of the investment portfolio, by major class according to the fair value hierarchy, as of March 31, 2016:

 

		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This report contains forward looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward looking statements including, without limitation:

 

	●	An economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies;
	●	a contraction of available credit could impair our lending and investment activities;
	●	interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly if we elect to use leverage as part of our investment strategy;
	●	our future operating results;
	●	our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
	●	our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
	●	the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
	●	competition with other entities for investment opportunities;
	●	the speculative and illiquid nature of our investments;
	●	the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments;
	●	the adequacy of our financing sources and working capital;
	●	the costs associated with being a public entity;
	●	the loss of key personnel;
	●	the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies;
	●	the ability of our Advisor to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;
	●	our ability to attract and retain highly talented professionals that can provide services to our Advisor and Administrator;
	●	our ability to qualify and maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company, or “RIC,” under Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the “Code,” and as a business development company, or “BDC”, and
	●	the effect of legal, tax and regulatory changes.

 

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward looking statements are based are reasonable, some of those assumptions are based on the work of third parties and any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate; as a result, the forward looking statements based on those assumptions also could prove to be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on these forward looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward looking statements or any other information contained herein, except as required by applicable law. The safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, which preclude civil liability for certain forward looking statements are not applicable to us since we are a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the 1940 Act.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on November 25, 2014. We filed an election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, and intend to elect to be treated as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. As such, we are required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in “qualifying assets,” source of income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income and tax-exempt interest.

 

All amounts presented are in thousands, except share and per share data.

 

 

Revenues

 

We generate revenues in the form of interest income from the debt securities we hold and dividends and capital appreciation on either direct equity investments or equity interests obtained in connection with originating loans, such as options, warrants or conversion rights. We expect most of the debt securities we will hold will be floating rate in nature. The debt we invest in will typically not be rated by any rating agency, but if it were, it is likely that such debt would be below investment grade. We intend to structure our debt investments with interest payable quarterly, semi-annually or annually, but we may structure certain investments with terms to provide for longer interest payment periods or to allow interest to be paid by adding amounts due to the principal balance of the loan, resulting in deferred cash receipts. In addition, we may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, loan origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance to our portfolio companies, and possibly consulting fees. Certain of these fees may be capitalized and amortized as additional interest income over the life of the related loan.

 

Expenses

 

We anticipate that all investment professionals and staff of our Advisor, Parkview Advisors, LLC, or the Advisor, when and to the extent engaged in providing us investment advisory and management services, and the base compensation, bonus and benefits, and the routine overhead expenses, of such personnel allocable to such services, will be provided and paid for by our Advisor.

 

We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations, administration and transactions, including, but not limited to, those relating to:

 

	●	organization expenses;
	●	calculating our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firms);
	●	expenses, including travel expense, incurred by our Advisor, its investment professionals, or payable to third parties, performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies;
	●	the costs of the offerings of common shares and other securities, if any;
	●	the base management fee and any incentive fee;
	●	certain costs and expenses relating to distributions paid on our shares;
	●	administration reimbursements payable under the administration agreement, or the Administrator Agreement, with Parkview Administrator, LLC, or the Administrator;
	●	debt service and other costs of borrowings or other financing arrangements;
	●	the allocated costs incurred by our Advisor or the Administrator in providing managerial assistance to those portfolio companies that request it;
	●	amounts payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, making or holding investments;
	●	transfer agent and custodial fees;
	●	costs of hedging;
	●	commissions and other compensation payable to brokers or dealers;
	●	federal, state and local taxes;
	●	Independent Director fees and expenses;
	●	costs of preparing financial statements and maintaining books and records and filing reports or other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, (or other regulatory bodies) and other reporting and compliance costs, including registration and listing fees, and the compensation of professionals responsible for the preparation of the foregoing;
	●	the costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to our stockholders (including printing and mailing costs), the costs of any stockholders’ meetings and the compensation of investor relations personnel responsible for the preparation of the foregoing and related matters;
	●	our fidelity bond;
	●	directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;
	●	indemnification payments;
	●	direct costs and expenses of administration, including audit and legal costs; and
	●	all other expenses reasonably incurred by us in connection with making investments and administering our business.

 

From time to time, our Advisor may pay amounts owed by us to third-party providers of goods or services. We will subsequently reimburse our Advisor for such amounts paid on our behalf. Other than with respect to our initial organization and operating costs, as described above, there is no contractual cap on the reasonable costs and expenses for which our Advisor will be reimbursed. In addition, we will reimburse the Advisor for the allocable portion of the compensation paid by the Advisor (or its affiliates) to our chief compliance officer and chief financial officer (based on the percentage of time such individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to our business and affairs). All of these expenses will ultimately be borne by our stockholders.

The following table summarizes the composition of our portfolio at amortized cost and fair value as of December 31, 2015:

 

			Amortized Cost (1)				Percentage of Portfolio				Fair Value				Percentage of Portfolio
Senior Secured Loans - First Lien		$	12,378				48	%		$	12,217				48	%

Total		$	25,746				100	%		$	25,500				100	%

 

(1)	Amortized cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of premiums and/or accretion of discounts, as applicable, on investments.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the investments in our portfolio were purchased at a weighted average price of 100.0% of par value, and the weighted average yields, based on the amortized cost and fair value of our portfolio as of March 31, 2016, were 10.5% and 10.5%, respectively.

 

Direct Origination

 

We intend to leverage our Advisor’s industry relationships to directly source investment opportunities. Such investments are originated or structured for us or made by us and are not generally available to the broader market. These investments may include both debt and equity components. We believe directly originated investments may offer higher returns and more favorable protections than broadly syndicated transactions. The following tables present certain selected information regarding our direct originations as of March 31, 2016:

 

Characteristics of All Direct Originations held in Portfolio			March 31, 2016				December 31, 2015
Number of Portfolio Companies			4				4
Average Annual EBITDA of Portfolio Companies		$	15,520			$	6,020
Average Leverage Through Tranche of Portfolio Companies - Excluding Equity/Other and Collateralized Securities			2.61	x			2.57	x
Gross Portfolio Yield (based on amortized cost) of Funded Direct Originations			12.7	%			12.3	%

  

 

Portfolio Composition by Strategy and Industry

 

Although our primary focus is to invest in directly originated transactions, in certain circumstances we will also invest in the broadly syndicated loan and high yield markets. Broadly syndicated loans and bonds are generally more liquid than our directly originated investments and provide a complement to our less liquid strategies.

 

The table below summarizes the composition of our investment portfolio by strategy and enumerates the percentage, by fair value, of the total portfolio assets in such strategies:

 

		March 31, 2016								December 31, 2015
Portfolio Composition by Strategy		Fair Value				Percentage of Portfolio				Fair Value				Percentage of Portfolio
Direct Origination			13,334				35	%			13,335				52	%

Portfolio Asset Quality

 

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, the Advisor uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. The Advisor uses an investment rating scale of 1 to 5. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:

 

Investment Rating		Summary Description
1		Investment exceeding expectations and/or capital gain expected.
2		Performing investment generally executing in accordance with the portfolio company’s business plan—full return of principal and interest expected. Each investment is initially rated 2.
3		Performing investment requiring closer monitoring.
4		Underperforming investment—some loss of interest or dividend possible, but still expecting a positive return on investment.
5		Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

 

 

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of March 31, 2016:

 

		March 31, 2016								December 31, 2015
Investment Rating		Fair Value				Percentage of Portfolio				Fair Value				Percentage of Portfolio
1		$	-				-			$	-				-
2			32,737				87	%			25,500				100	%
3			4,944				13	%			-				-
4			-				-				-				-
5			-				-				-				-
Total		$	37,681				100	%		$	25,500				100	%

 

The amount of the portfolio in each grading category may vary substantially from period to period resulting primarily from changes in the composition of the portfolio as a result of new investment, repayment and exit activities. In addition, changes in the grade of investments may be made to reflect our expectation of performance and changes in investment values.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Refer to “Part I. Financial Information, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note B” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a description of recent accounting pronouncements.

 

Results of Operations

 

We commenced our principal operations on April 24, 2015, commensurate with the raising of $20,000 through a sale of 2,000,000 shares of common stock. Prior to April 24, 2015, we solely incurred expenses associated with organizational activities. Since we commenced principal operations on April 24, 2015, we have no prior periods with which to compare our operating results.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

 

Investment Income

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, total investment income totaled $721, of which $638 was attributable to portfolio interest earned on senior secured loans (first and second lien), $67 was attributable to dividend income earned and $16 was attributable to amortization of loan origination fees received.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses were $560 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and consisted of base management fees of $191, net of fee waiver of $31, professional fees of $212 and other general and administrative fees of $157. We did not incur any incentive fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016. We incurred organizational costs of $48 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Our operating expenses were 1.50% of our average net assets for the three months ended March 31, 2016. As we continue to execute our strategy, we expect our operating expenses as a percentage of our average net assets to decrease.

 

In order to meet the diversification tests required to qualify as a RIC, we, on March 31, 2016, acquired $12,500 in face value of short-term U.S. Treasury Bills with a 3% cash requirement. This transaction had the effect of increasing management fees payable to the Advisor in an amount of $31, all of which was waived by the Advisor. Professional fees include legal, audit, compliance, valuation, technology and other professional fees incurred related to our management. Other general and administrative expenses include custody, printer fees, research, subscriptions and other costs.

 

Net Investment Income

 

Our net investment income totaled $161, which is equal to $0.04 per share calculated using weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Net Unrealized Depreciation on Investments

 

Net change in unrealized depreciation on investments reflects the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we had net unrealized depreciation of $287 on our portfolio investments.

 

Changes in Net Assets from Operations

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $126, which is equal to ($0.03) per share calculated using weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

 

Hedging

 

We may, but are not required to, enter into interest rate, foreign exchange or other derivative agreements to hedge interest rate, currency, credit or other risks, but we do not generally intend to enter into any such derivative agreements for speculative purposes. Such hedging activities, which will be in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, may include the use of futures, options and forward contracts. If we enter into hedging transactions, we will bear the costs incurred in connection with entering into, administering and settling any such derivative contracts. There can be no assurance any hedging strategy we employ will be successful. As of March 31, 2016, we had not entered into any hedging transactions.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had cash of approximately $11,818. We raise capital through a private offering of our shares in order to acquire a portfolio of debt and equity investments consistent with our investment objectives and strategy. We generate cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments.

 

Prior to deploying the capital we raise in our private offering of shares, we intend to invest in cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, consistent with our BDC election and our intent to be taxed as a RIC.

 

We may borrow funds to make investments, to the extent we determine that additional capital would allow us to take advantage of additional investment opportunities. We have executed a non-binding term sheet with a potential lender for a delayed draw term loan facility, the terms of which have not been finalized.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the 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 financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the 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. Refer to “Part I. Financial Information, Item 1. Financial Statements Note B” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a description of the summary of significant accounting policies.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

We have entered into an agreement with our Advisor to provide us with investment advisory services and with the Administrator to provide us with administrative services.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off balance sheet arrangements, including risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2016, our portfolio consisted of investments paying variable rates of interest. In addition, in the future we may seek to borrow funds in order to make additional investments. If we borrow funds to make additional investments, our net investment income will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we would be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we have debt outstanding, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments. We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and long-term debt. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to our debt investments, especially to the extent that we hold variable rate investments. Currently 45% of our portfolio pays variable rates of interest. Accordingly, an increase in interest rates would make it easier for us to meet or exceed our incentive fee return, as defined in our Advisory Agreement, and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income, and also to the amount of incentive fees payable to our Advisor with respect to our increasing pre-incentive fee net investment income.

 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was carried out by us under the supervision and with the participation of our president, who serves as our principal executive officer and our chief financial officer who serves as our principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our president and chief financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure (i) that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our president and chief financial officer, in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our president and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013). There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
