(1)The corporate headquarters of the portfolio company may not be indicative of the primary source of the portfolio company’s business. The industry description generally identifies the types of products or services provided by each portfolio company.

 

(2)All investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and are restricted securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or are subject to legal restrictions on transfer (including lockup and other contractual restrictions) as of March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, restricted securities held by the Company comprised approximately 29% of the Company’s net assets.

The PIK interest is computed at the contractual rate specified in each note and is added to the principal balance of the note and recorded as interest income as earned. As of January 1, 2017, the Company ceased accruing PIK interest on each of its payment-in-kind notes, and all of such notes are currently on non-accrual status.

The interim unaudited financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company follows the accounting and reporting guidelines in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services—Investment Companies”.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period.

 

Valuation of Investments

 

The Company’s investments consist of securities issued by private or publicly traded companies consisting of preferred stock, common stock, convertible notes, secured notes and warrants to purchase preferred stock which are included on the Company’s Schedule of Investments.

Investments are stated at value as defined under the 1940 Act, in accordance with the applicable regulations of the SEC, and in accordance with FASB, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” (“ASC 820”). Value, as defined in Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, is: (i) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available, and (ii) the fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors for all other assets. See Note 3 - Portfolio Investments and Fair Value. The 1940 Act requires periodic valuation of each investment in the Company’s portfolio to determine the Company’s net asset value. Under the 1940 Act, unrestricted securities with readily available market quotations are to be valued at the closing market price on the valuation date; all other assets must be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

 

Given the nature of investing in the securities of private companies, the Company’s investments are generally considered Level 3 assets under ASC 820 until these portfolio companies become public and begin trading on a stock exchange and the securities are no longer subject to any post-initial public offering lockup restrictions. As such, the Company values all of its investments, other than unrestricted securities in publicly traded portfolio companies, at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, pursuant to a consistent valuation policy in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820 and the 1940 Act.

 

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty in determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments determined in good faith by its Board of Directors may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and the differences could be material. Changes in fair value of these investments are recorded in the Company’s Statement of Operations as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation).”

 

The Company has a lead valuation director, who is a non-interested member of the Board and acts as the liaison between the Board and the Company’s management for valuing the Company’s investments. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

On a quarterly basis, each portfolio company will be analyzed based on the portfolio company’s most recently available historical and projected financial results, public market comparables, equity or other transactions and other factors.

 

The Company’s management or an independent valuation firm, if involved, will conduct appraisals and make an assessment of the fair value of each investment, which will be used in deriving a preliminary valuation.

 

The Company’s lead valuation director will review and discuss the preliminary valuations with the Company’s management and the assistance of the independent valuation firm, if any.

 

The Board will discuss the valuations and determine, in good faith, the fair value of each investment in the portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available based on the input of the Company’s management, the independent valuation firm, if any, and the lead valuation director.

 

For the March 31, 2017 valuations of the Company’s portfolio investments that are not publicly traded, an independent valuation firm assisted the Board of Directors in its determination of the fair value of three investments in the Company’s portfolio. The Administrator assisted the Board of Directors in its determination of the fair value of all of the investments in the Company’s portfolio and the funds held in escrow from the sale of investments (“Escrowed Funds”).

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). In accordance with ASC 820, the Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.

 

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 applies the framework for determining fair value as described above to the valuation of investments in each of the following categories:

 

Equity Investments

 

Equity investments for which market quotations are readily available in an active market are generally valued at the most recently available closing market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets. However, equity investments for which market quotations are readily available, but which are subject to lockup provisions restricting the resale of such investments for a specified period of time, are valued at a discount to the most recently available closing market prices and, accordingly, are classified as Level 3 assets.

 

The fair values of the Company’s equity investments for which market quotations are not readily available are determined based on various factors and are classified as Level 3 assets. To determine the fair value of a portfolio company for which market quotations are not readily available, the Company may analyze the portfolio company’s most recently available historical and projected financial results, public market comparables and other factors. The Company may also consider other events, including the transaction in which the Company acquired its securities, subsequent equity sales by the portfolio company, mergers or acquisitions affecting the portfolio company or the completion of an initial public offering (“IPO”) by the portfolio company. In addition, the Company may consider the trends of the portfolio company’s basic financial metrics from the time of its original investment until the measurement date, with material improvement of these metrics indicating a possible increase in fair value, while material deterioration of these metrics may indicate a possible reduction in fair value. The fair values of the Company’s portfolio company securities are generally discounted for lack of marketability or when the securities are illiquid. See Note 3 - Portfolio Investments and Fair Value.

 

In cases where a portfolio company completes a subsequent financing with different rights and preferences than the equity securities the Company holds, or where the Company owns common stock in a portfolio company with preferred stock outstanding or where a merger or acquisition event involving a portfolio company has been completed or is pending, the Company may consider the aforementioned transaction to estimate the portfolio company’s equity value.

 

In determining the value of equity or equity-linked securities (including warrants to purchase common or preferred stock) in a portfolio company, the Company considers the rights, preferences and limitations of such securities. In cases where a portfolio company’s capital structure includes multiple classes of preferred and common stock and equity-linked securities with different rights and preferences, the Company may use an option pricing model or another appropriate method to allocate value to each equity and equity-linked security.

 

Debt Investments

 

Given the nature of the Company’s current debt investments, principally convertible bridge notes issued by venture capital-backed portfolio companies, these investments are Level 3 assets under ASC 820 because there is no known or accessible market for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. Since the Company invested in convertible bridge notes for the primary purpose of potential conversion into equity at a future date, the fair value of the Company’s convertible debt investments for which market quotations are not available may be determined on an as-converted to equity basis using the same factors and methodologies the Company uses to value its equity investments. In making a good faith determination of the value of its convertible debt investments, the Company generally starts with the cost basis of the investment, which includes the value attributed to the original issue discount, if any, and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest which has been accreted to principal as earned.

 

If the Company determines that there is a low likelihood that its convertible debt investments will be converted into equity or repaid, the Company applies a procedure that assumes a sale of the investment in a hypothetical market to a hypothetical market participant where buyers and sellers are willing participants. The hypothetical market does not include scenarios where the underlying security was simply repaid or extinguished, but includes an exit concept. As part of this process, the Company may evaluate the creditworthiness of the portfolio company, its ability to meet its current debt obligations, the collateral (if any) for recoverability of the debt investment in the event of default and whether the security lien, if any, is subordinated to senior lenders.

Funds Held in Escrow from Sale of Investments

 

Escrowed Funds are valued at fair value by the Company’s Board using certain indemnity risk and deferred payment discounts applied to the amounts withheld.

 

Interest and Dividend Income

 

Interest income from certificates of deposit and other short-term investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected and accrued interest income is evaluated periodically for collectability. PIK interest represents contractually deferred interest computed at a contractual rate specified in the loan agreement. PIK interest may be prepaid by either contract or the portfolio company’s election, but generally is paid at the end of the loan term. PIK interest is added to the principal balance of the loan and is generally recorded as interest income on an accrual basis to the extent such PIK interest is expected to be collected. The Company recorded PIK interest income of $0 and $10,767 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. See “Income Taxes” below.

 

When one of the Company’s loans becomes more than 90 days past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the portfolio company to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will, as a general matter, place the loan on non-accrual status and generally will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest has been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, the Company may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. If the fair value of a loan is below cost, the Company may cease recognizing PIK interest on the debt investment until such time that the fair value equals or exceeds cost.

 

Net Realized Gain or Loss and Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

 

Net realized gain or loss is recognized when a portfolio company investment or other financial asset is disposed of and is computed as the difference between the Company’s cost basis in such investment or asset at the disposition date and the net proceeds received from such disposition (after reduction for commissions and other selling expenses). Net realized gains and losses on transactions involving portfolio company investments and other financial assets are determined by specific identification. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation is computed as the difference between the fair value of the portfolio company investment or other financial asset and the cost basis of such investment or asset.

 

Income Taxes

 

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company elected to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. To maintain RIC tax treatment, the Company must meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute annually at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income” as defined in the Code.

 

Due to the Company’s limited number of investments, it closely monitors its asset composition in order to continue to satisfy the asset diversification test and maintain its status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, in addition to other requirements, as of the close of each quarter end, the Company must meet the asset diversification test, which requires that at least 50% of the value of its assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government securities or certain other qualified securities (the “50% Threshold”). However, the failure to meet the 50% Threshold alone will not necessarily result in the Company’s loss of RIC status. In circumstances where the failure to meet the 50% Threshold is the result of fluctuations in the value of the Company’s assets, including as a result of the sale of assets, the Company will still be deemed to have satisfied the 50% Threshold and, therefore, maintain its RIC status, provided that the Company has not made any new investments in non-qualifying securities, including additional investments in non-qualifying securities of existing portfolio companies, since the time that the Company fell below the 50% Threshold. The Company satisfied the diversification requirement as of March 31, 2017.

 

As a RIC, the Company generally will not have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any investment company taxable income or any realized net capital gains that the Company distributes to its stockholders as dividends. Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. In addition, taxable income generally excludes any unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

 

The Company is not required to distribute its realized net capital gains, if any, to stockholders to maintain RIC tax treatment. However, the Company generally will have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any realized net capital gains that the Company does not distribute to its stockholders. In the event the Company retains any of its realized net capital gains, the Company may designate the retained amount as a deemed distribution to stockholders and will be required to pay corporate-level tax on the retained amount.

The Company would also be subject to certain nondeductible federal excise taxes imposed on RICs if it fails to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (i) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for the calendar year, if any, and (iii) any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no federal income taxes. The Company will not be subject to this excise tax on amounts on which the Company is required to pay corporate income tax.

 

Dividends and Distributions

 

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders must be approved by the Company’s Board and any dividend payable is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

The Company may fund cash dividends and distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to the Company. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make dividends or distributions. See Note 7 - Dividends and Distributions.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

Significant Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Portfolio Company Securities

 

In accordance with ASC 820, the table set forth below provides quantitative information about the Level 3 fair value measurements of the Company’s portfolio company investments and Escrowed Funds as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. In addition to the approaches and inputs noted in the table below, according to the Company’s valuation policy, the Company may also use other valuation approaches and methodologies when determining the Company’s fair value measurements. The below table is not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provides information on the significant Level 3 inputs as they relate to the Company’s fair value measurements. To the extent an unobservable input is not reflected in the table below, such input is deemed insignificant or is not applicable with respect to the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Changes in the inputs in isolation could result in a material change in the fair value measurement, depending on the input and the materiality of the investment:

    $ 7,835,000   Comparable public companies   Revenue multiple   0.6 to 4.7   2.8

              Deferred payment discount   5% to 5%   5%

 

(1)The significant unobservable inputs that may be used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s portfolio company investments in convertible preferred stock, common stock and warrants to purchase common or preferred stock for which market quotations are not readily available include: (i) revenue multiples for comparable transactions, (ii) revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and price to earnings multiples (collectively, “Multiples”) for comparable public companies, (iii) discount rates and terminal year Multiples for comparable public companies applied in a discounted cash flow analysis of the portfolio company; and (iv) a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”). For some portfolio company investments, additional consideration may be given to data from a prior or contemporaneous financing transaction, the last round of financing or a merger or acquisition event near the measurement date (collectively, a “Precedent Transaction”). Inputs used in deriving an appropriate DLOM include the time frame in which the portfolio company expects to pursue or complete an IPO or sale/merger and, where put option models are used to estimate the price of a plain-vanilla, at-the-money put option and the price of an average-strike put option, inputs may include a range of term and volatility assumptions. A change in the assumptions used for Precedent Transactions and Multiples may indicate a directionally similar change in the fair value of the Company’s portfolio company investments in convertible preferred stock or common stock, while a change in the assumptions used for discount rate and DLOM may indicate a directionally opposite change in the fair value of the portfolio company investment.

 

Additional inputs that may be used in an option pricing model when applicable include the volatility of equity in comparable public companies, the risk free interest rate and the estimated time to exit. The significant unobservable input used in an option pricing model for valuing certain of the Company’s portfolio company investments in convertible preferred stock, common stock and preferred and common stock warrants for which market quotations are not readily available is the volatility of equity in comparable public companies. A change in the assumption used for equity volatility may indicate a directionally similar change in the fair value of the convertible preferred stock, common stock and preferred and common stock warrant investments.

 

Since the Company has invested in convertible debt investments, principally convertible bridge notes, for the primary purpose of potential conversion into equity at a future date, the significant unobservable inputs that may be used in the fair value measurement of its convertible debt investments on an as-converted to equity basis are the same inputs used by the Company to value its equity securities (including convertible preferred stock). An option pricing model valuation technique may also be used to derive the fair value of the conversion feature of convertible notes. If the Company determines that there is a low likelihood that its convertible debt investments will be converted into equity or repaid the significant unobservable inputs that may be used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s convertible debt investments are hypothetical market yields and premiums/(discounts). For non-convertible debt investments, which the Company generally holds for cash payment at maturity, the significant unobservable inputs that may be used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s non-convertible debt are hypothetical market yields and premiums/(discounts). The hypothetical market yield is defined as the exit price of an investment in a hypothetical market to hypothetical market participants where buyers and sellers are willing participants. The premiums (discounts) relate to company specific characteristics such as underlying investment performance, collateral, and other characteristics of the investment. In certain investments, the Company may value its convertible and non-convertible debt investments using a liquidation approach in which case the realizable value of the collateral would be a significant unobservable input.

 

Funds held in escrow from the sale of investments are valued using certain indemnity risk and deferred payment discounts applied to the amounts withheld.

 

(2)Weighted average based on fair value as of March 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had expenses payable to the Administrator of $63,708 and $191,000, respectively.

 

The Administrator furnishes the Company with equipment and clerical services, including responsibility for the financial records which it is required to maintain, and preparing reports to the Company’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Administrator assists the Company in monitoring its portfolio accounting and bookkeeping, managing portfolio collections and reporting, performing internal audit services, determining and publishing its net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of its tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to its stockholders.

Joint Liability Insurance Agreement

 

For the policy year ended August 28, 2016, 10% of the total directors and officers liability insurance policy premium and 10% of the total excess liability policy premium was allocated to and paid by BDCA Venture Adviser, LLC, the Company’s former investment adviser (“BDCA Venture Adviser”), pursuant to a joint liability insurance agreement with BDCA Venture Adviser which allocated the premium cost of the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance policy and the Company’s excess coverage policy between the Company and BDCA Venture Adviser.

 

On August 28, 2016, the Company renewed its directors and officers liability insurance policy and its excess liability policy for another policy year ending August 28, 2017 but no portion of the premium was paid by, or reimbursed by, BDCA Venture Adviser. The Company also acquired an additional excess liability policy. The continuing directors and officers policy covers the Company’s directors, officers, and other specified parties, insures the Company against loss that it may be required or permitted to pay as indemnitees of the Company’s directors and officers, and insures the Company for certain securities claims. The two excess liability policies provide for excess coverage to the Company’s officers and directors in the case of non-indemnifiable claims. To the extent the officers, managers and employees of BDCA Venture Adviser bring a contractual claim for indemnification against the Company pursuant to the former Investment Advisory Agreement, the directors and officers liability insurance policy and one of the two excess liability policies would cover such claims.

 

Other Transactions with Related Parties

 

On March 25, 2016, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the reimbursement of $125,157 in legal and proxy solicitation costs incurred by Bulldog Investors, LLC (“Bulldog”), a stockholder and beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, as a result of the contested proxy campaign in connection with the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This reimbursement was paid to Bulldog on March 30, 2016 and included the costs of Bulldog’s litigation against the Company in the Circuit Court of Maryland and the New York Supreme Court and costs associated with the proxy process and the election of the Company’s new Board of Directors.

 

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is required to review and approve any transactions with related parties (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).

 

Note 5 – Equity Offerings and Related Costs

 

The Company did not issue any new shares of its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

Note 6 – Stock Repurchases

 

On November 10, 2015, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $1 million for a six month period to expire on May 10, 2016. On January 20, 2016, the Board approved an amendment to this stock repurchase program to allow for greater flexibility, by narrowing the current “blackout” period during which the Company is prohibited from purchasing shares, and increasing the size of the program from $1 million to $2 million. The Board previously authorized several six month extensions of the Company’s stock repurchase program. On April 13, 2017, the Board authorized a further extension of the Company’s stock repurchase program for an additional six months to expire on November 10, 2017, or until Company’s conversion to a liquidating trust, whichever is earlier. Under the repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock in open market transactions, including through block purchases, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors, without reliance on the “safe harbor” provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases. This stock repurchase program may be extended, modified or discontinued at any time for any reason. Furthermore, the repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company repurchased 113,354 shares of its common stock at an average price of $2.08 per share, including commissions, with a total cost of $235,577. The Company retired all 113,354 shares of its repurchased common stock during the year ended December 31, 2016, with $113 of the total cost of the retired shares charged to common stock and $235,464 charged to additional paid-in capital. The Company’s net asset value per share increased by $0.02 per share as a result of the repurchased shares during the year ended December 31, 2016. The weighted average discount to net asset value per share of the shares repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2016 was 41%.

 

The Company accounted for the repurchases of its common stock under the cost method based on the actual cost of the repurchases.

Note 7 – Dividends and Distributions

 

On March 25, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a distribution policy with the objective to make special distributions to stockholders as declared by the Board of Directors in its discretion. The Company did not declare any distributions to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Distributions to the Company’s stockholders are payable only when and as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. Distributions, if any, will be from available funds, as determined by the Board of Directors, with the intention of distributing up to 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the Company’s portfolio investments.

 

If the Company’s distributions for any year exceed the Company’s net investment income and net realized capital gains, the difference will be distributed from the Company’s capital and will constitute a return of capital to its stockholders.

 

In the event the Company retains some or all of its realized net capital gains, the Company may designate the retained amount as a deemed distribution to stockholders. In such case, among other consequences, the Company will pay corporate-level tax on the retained amount, each U.S. stockholder will be required to include its share of the deemed distribution in income as if it had been actually distributed to the U.S. stockholder and the U.S. stockholder will be entitled to claim a credit or refund equal to its allocable share of the corporate-level tax the Company pays on the retained realized net capital gain.

 

For income tax purposes, distributions paid to stockholders are reported as ordinary income, return of capital, long-term capital gains or a combination thereof.

 

The Company has maintained a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder has elected to receive dividends in cash. As a result of the Company’s investment policy and liquidation plan, no dividends are expected to be declared.

 

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into investment agreements under which it commits to make an investment in a portfolio company at some future date or over a specified period of time. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had not entered into any investment agreements which required it to make a future investment in a portfolio company.

 

On October 15, 2015, Suniva completed a stock-for-stock merger transaction with SFCE. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Suniva and its shareholders, including the Company, are required to indemnify SFCE for certain breaches of warranties and representations made to SFCE, subject to a cap of approximately 12.5% of the merger consideration received by the Company. Any damages payable by the Company would be settled through an adjustment to the number of shares of common stock in the surviving company held by the Company and/or SFCE.

 

On November 18, 2014, Xtime, Inc., a private portfolio company, completed an all-cash merger transaction with Cox Automotive, Inc. At the closing of the merger, the Company was required to set aside $809,311 in escrow as partial security for potential stockholder indemnification obligations under the merger agreement. The $809,311 represents additional cash proceeds that may be released to the Company at a later date subject to potential indemnity claims. On January 13, 2015, Escrowed Funds totaling $105,210 were released to the Company from the Xtime escrow without any offset for indemnity claims. On January 15, 2016, Escrowed Funds totaling $606,984 were released to the Company from the Xtime escrow without any offset for indemnity claims. As of December 31, 2016, the Company recognized $6,067 in additional proceeds in connection with the expense fund related to Xtime’s merger transaction. The remaining Escrowed Funds are anticipated to be released in November 2017, net of settlement of any indemnity claims. As of March 31, 2017, the Escrowed Funds were fair valued at $95,768. Although recovery under the stockholder indemnity obligation is generally limited to the Escrowed Funds, the Company may be liable for its pro rata amount of any damages for certain types of indemnity claims not to exceed the cash consideration received by the Company, provided, however, in the case of the Company’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation, there is no limitation on liability. Except as discussed above, the Company has not been notified of any stockholder indemnity claims.

 

The Company maintains a directors and officers liability insurance policy and two excess liability policies, which provide liability insurance coverage for its officers, directors and other specified parties. The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law subject to the restrictions in the 1940 Act.

Under the former Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), absent the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of BDCA Venture Adviser or BDCA Venture Adviser’s reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, the Company has agreed to indemnify BDCA Venture Adviser (including its officers, managers, agents, employees and members) for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising out of BDCA Venture Adviser’s performance of its duties and obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement, except to the extent specified in the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the former Investment Advisory Agreement, the indemnification provision shall remain in full force and effect, and BDCA Venture Adviser shall remain entitled to the benefits thereof, notwithstanding any termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

(1)Based on weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

(2)Represents the increase in net asset value per share attributable to repurchases of common stock during the period.

(3)Total return based on change in net asset value equals the change in the end of the period net asset value over the beginning of the period net asset value plus distributions during the period, divided by the beginning of the period net asset value. The total return has not been annualized.

(4)Total return based on stock price is calculated based on the change in the market price of the Company’s shares taking into account distributions reinvested in accordance with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, or lacking such plan, at the lesser of net asset value or market price per share on the dividend distribution date. The total return has not been annualized.

(5)Operating expenses and net investment loss for periods of less than one year are annualized, and the ratios of operating expenses to average net assets and net investment loss to average net assets are adjusted accordingly. Because the ratios are calculated for the Company’s common stock taken as a whole, an individual investor’s ratios may vary from these ratios.

(6)Portfolio turnover is calculated as net proceeds from the sale of portfolio company investments during the period divided by average net assets during the period.

 

Note 11 – Income Taxes

 

The Company did not have any net realized capital gains for the year ended December 31, 2016. Therefore, no corporate-level federal income or excise taxes were due and, as such, the Company did not make any provision for federal income or excise taxes as of December 31, 2016.

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s net investment loss of $3,420,438, representing the Company’s 2015 ordinary loss for tax purposes which may not be carried forward to future years by a RIC, was reclassified to additional paid-in-capital. The portion of the Company’s net investment loss attributable to incentive fee expense was also reclassified to additional paid-in-capital as of December 31, 2015 since the Company’s former investment advisory agreement was terminated during the tax period.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the applicable period. Although the Company files federal and state tax returns, its major tax jurisdiction is federal. The 2014, 2015 and 2016 federal tax years for the Company remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Management’s evaluation of uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to income taxes, if applicable, in general and administrative expenses. There were no such expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Note 12 – Investments in and Advances to Affiliates

Note 13 – Subsequent Events

 

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events after March 31, 2017. Except as set forth below, there were no subsequent events since March 31, 2017 that would require adjustment to or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

 

Portfolio Company Activity

 

On April 17, 2017, Suniva Inc. (“Suniva”), of which the Company owns 2,844 shares of Class A Common Stock, filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. This action stemmed from a mixture of significant downward pressure on solar cell and module prices manufactured by Suniva due to foreign competition, and a significant increase in debt as part of a planned expansion at Suniva’s Norcross, GA facility.

 

Plan of Liquidation

 

On April 17, 2017, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC to seek approval for the Plan of Liquidation and related matters at a special meeting of stockholders. The Company also filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC on the same date relating to an annual meeting of stockholders seeking a vote on certain nominees to the Company’s Board of Director and for the ratification of the selection of Tait, Weller & Baker, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

 

Stock Repurchase Program

 

On April 13, 2017, the Board authorized a further extension of the Company’s stock repurchase program for an additional six months to expire on November 10, 2017, or until Company’s conversion to a liquidating trust, whichever is earlier. Under the repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock in open market transactions, including through block purchases, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors, without reliance on the “safe harbor” provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases. This stock repurchase program may be extended, modified or discontinued at any time for any reason. Furthermore, the repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares.

Overview

 

We were incorporated on May 9, 2008 under the laws of the State of Maryland and are an internally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. Effective December 2, 2015, we changed our name from BDCA Venture, Inc. to Crossroads Capital, Inc. Effective January 1, 2010, we elected to be treated for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We commenced our portfolio company investment activities in January 2010. The shares of our common stock have been listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market since December 12, 2011 and we are currently traded under the ticker symbol “XRDC”.

 

Our Investment Objective is to preserve capital and maximize stockholder value by pursuing the sale of our portfolio investments, limiting expenses and deploying surplus cash as appropriate, including into yielding investments to offset, in part, operating expenses and to monetize our portfolio holdings at the earliest practicable date. On May 3, 2016, our Board of Directors approved the Plan, pursuant to which we plan to convert into a liquidating trust with the sole purpose of liquidating our assets and distributing the proceeds to our stockholders. The Plan is subject to the approval of our stockholders, which our Board of Directors intends to seek at a special meeting called for the purpose of approving the Plan and certain related matters, including the withdrawal of our election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and the delisting of our stock from Nasdaq Capital Market, as detailed in the definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017. Our Board of Directors has set June 2, 2017 as the date for the special meeting. Prior to the approval by our stockholders and our conversion into the liquidating trust, our Board of Directors reserves the right to consider additional strategic alternatives. On August 24, 2016, as part of this strategy to liquidate the Company, we announced the engagement of Setter Capital, Inc., a Toronto-based secondary market advisory firm (“Setter Capital”), to assist us in identifying prospective buyers for our portfolio investments.

 

28

 

 

We are internally managed, although we do receive certain administrative services from our Administrator, including the provision of personnel to act as certain of our executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

For the March 31, 2017 valuation of our portfolio investments that are not publicly traded, an independent valuation firm assisted our Board of Directors in its determination of the value of three investments in our portfolio. Our Administrator assisted our Board of Directors in its determination of the value of all of the investments in our portfolio and the funds held in escrow from the sale of investments (“Escrowed Funds”).

 

Investment Objective

 

On October 5, 2015, our Board of Directors determined that we will no longer make investments in new portfolio companies and will focus on the orderly monetization of our current holdings. On January 20, 2016, our Board of Directors changed our Investment Objective to preserve capital and maximize stockholder value by pursuing the sale of our portfolio investments, limiting expenses and deploying surplus cash as appropriate, including into yielding investments to offset, in part, operating expenses. Subsequent to this change in our Investment Objective and in recognition that the monetization of our current holdings under our prior policies and Investment Objective could take three to five years or more and the amounts realized may be less than current fair values, on March 25, 2016, our Board of Directors resolved to monetize our portfolio holdings at the earliest practicable date. On August 24, 2016, we announced the engagement of Setter Capital, Inc., a Toronto-based secondary market advisory firm, to assist us in identifying prospective buyers for our portfolio investments.

 

On May 3, 2016, our Board of Directors approved the Plan, subject to the approval of our stockholders at a special meeting of our stockholders. Our Board of Directors has set June 2, 2017 as the date for the special meeting.

 

Our Board of Directors cannot estimate the expected proceeds that the liquidating trust could realize from the monetization of our portfolio investments pursuant to the Plan, and it is possible that the final liquidation value or the proceeds received from the sale of our portfolio investments may be less than the value or proceeds an investor might receive from pursuing a strategy of holding such investments through any potential IPO or other sale or liquidity event. The monetization of our portfolio investments and the adoption of the Plan, pursuant to which we are focused on the liquidation and sale of our portfolio investments, makes our investment portfolio susceptible to the risk that near-term sales could realize less than current fair values as we actively seek to sell our investments, either individually or in groups, and it is possible that we will experience substantial differences in the exit prices ultimately achieved by the liquidating trust or the proceeds received from the sale of our portfolio holdings as compared to the respective current fair values. The prices we ultimately realize may be further impacted by volatility in the financial markets to date, in particular the market for Initial Public Offerings of previously privately-funded venture capital investments that at least in part require a functioning IPO market to provide liquidity events for venture capital-backed enterprises. Our current fair values were determined consistent with our disclosed valuation policies and procedures, and the methodologies included therein, and which were based on the concept of an orderly transaction in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”).

 

Our Board of Directors believes the implementation of our Investment Objective and the Plan, each focusing on the monetization of our portfolio holdings at the earliest practicable date and our conversion into a liquidating trust, even with the possibility of achieving significantly lower prices from sales, will maximize stockholder value by substantially limiting estimated future operating expenses and removing the risk of future volatility in the market values of our portfolio holdings.

 

While our Board of Directors plans to distribute cash proceeds to stockholders from the sale or other monetization of our portfolio investments, no assurance can be given regarding the timing of or amounts realized from any such transactions. Further, while our Board of Directors will adhere to its previously announced determination not to invest in new venture capital-backed companies, we may consider making opportunistic follow-on investments in our existing portfolio companies.

 

A more detailed description of our current and former investment strategies is located in Item 1. — Business of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which has been filed with the SEC. The Plan and certain related matters proposed by our Board of Directors in connection with the adoption of the Plan are detailed in the definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017.

Portfolio Activity

 

Given the nature of investing in the securities of private companies, our investments generally will not have readily available market quotations. Generally, our equity investments in publicly traded companies in which the lockup restriction has expired are valued at the closing market price on the valuation date. However, equity investments in publicly traded portfolio companies which remain subject to lockup restrictions are valued in good faith by our Board of Directors based on a discount to the most recently available closing market prices. Our equity investments in private companies will not generally have readily available market quotations and, as such, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our Board of Directors, see “Critical Accounting Policies” below.

 

On March 29, 2017, we liquidated our entire investment in SilkRoad, consisting of 6,361,938 shares of Series D-1 convertible preferred stock, 19,132,283 shares of Series D-2 convertible preferred stock and 1,683,460 Series D-1 preferred stock warrants. The transaction was a secondary market sale for total net proceeds of $1,340,000, resulting in a net realized loss of $4,997,785.

 

The following table summarizes the net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 for: (i) our portfolio company investments sold during each period, and (ii) our portfolio company investments and Escrowed Funds held at the end of each period:

Results of Operations

 

The principal measure of our financial performance is the net increase (decrease) in our net assets resulting from operations, which is the sum of (i) net investment income (loss), (ii) net realized gain (loss), and (iii) the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Net investment income (loss) is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating expenses. Net realized gain (loss), if any, is the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition of portfolio company investments or other relevant assets and their stated cost. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is the net change in the fair value of our portfolio company investments or other relevant assets.

 

Set forth below are the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

 

Investment Income

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we earned interest and dividend income from cash and cash equivalents of $44,689 and $32,057, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we also earned payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest totaling $0 and $10,767, respectively, on our convertible note and our secured note investments in BrightSource.

 

To maintain our status as a RIC, PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income, must generally be distributed to stockholders at least annually from other sources such as available cash or the proceeds from the disposition of our portfolio company investments. However, since we do not expect to have investment company taxable income, we would generally not be required to distribute PIK interest from our available cash or the proceeds from the disposition of our portfolio company investments.

 

The following table shows our PIK loan activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, at cost:

                 
   

Three Months Ended

March 31,

 

    2017       2016  
Beginning PIK loan balance (inclusive of PIK interest capitalized)   $ 465,042     $ 387,688  
PIK interest accreted to principal during period       10,767  
Ending PIK loan balance (inclusive of PIK interest capitalized)   $ 465,042     $ 398,455  

 

We did not make any investments in PIK loans during the three months ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the only notes with PIK interest that we held were issued by BrightSource. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we ceased accruing PIK interest on each of our PIK loans, and all of our PIK loans are currently on non-accrual status.

 

We did not make any investments in PIK loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $641,625 and $621,912, respectively, an increase of $19,713 compared to the prior period.

 

Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $308,067 and $358,999, respectively, a decrease of $50,932 compared to the prior period due primarily to decreases in valuation services and audit fees, partially offset by an increase in legal fees compared to the prior period.

 

Administrator fees for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $175,292 and $169,447, respectively, an increase of $5,845 compared to the prior period due primarily to an increase in the amount paid to our Administrator, partially offset by the termination of US Bancorp.

 

Market advisory fees for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $44,559 and $0, respectively, an increase of $44,559 compared to the prior period due to the engagement of Setter Capital to assist us in identifying prospective buyers for the sale of our portfolio investments.

 

Insurance expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $32,798 and $21,718, respectively, an increase of $11,080 compared to the prior period due primarily to an increase in the premiums paid for our directors and officers liability insurance and excess liability policies and the acquisition of an additional excess liability policy.

 

Chief Compliance Officer fees for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $15,000 and $12,000, respectively, an increase of $3,000 compared to the prior period due primarily to an increase in the amount paid to our Chief Compliance Officer.

 

Directors fees for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $31,250 and $23,750, respectively, an increase of $7,500 compared to the prior period due primarily to an increase in the compensation paid to the Chairmen of our Board Committees.

 

Net Investment Income (Loss)

 

Net investment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $596,936 compared to net investment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $579,088. The increase of $17,848 in net investment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 is primarily attributable to increases in market advisory fees and insurance expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2017, partially offset by decreases in professional fees during the three months ended March 31, 2017, as discussed above.

 

Basic and diluted net investment loss per common share outstanding was $0.06 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 9,563,130 and 9,672,193, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, net realized loss totaled $4,997,765 and $0, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold our entire position in SilkRoad and recognized $20 in net realized gain in connection with the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares as a result of the conversion of our Agilyx securities during 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we did not complete any sales of our portfolio company investments.

Net Decrease in Net Assets Resulting From Operations and Per Share Information

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $20.2 million as compared to approximately $19.3 million as of December 31, 2016. The increase of approximately $0.9 million in cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily the result of the sale of our investment in SilkRoad for approximately $1.3 million, partially offset by the net cash used in operating activities of approximately $0.4 million.

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had no indebtedness and total accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $0.6 million. As of December 31, 2016, we had no indebtedness and total accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $0.4 million.

Capital Raising

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had 9,563,130 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

 

We do not currently intend to raise additional common equity capital in the foreseeable future.

 

Regulatory Compliance

 

Due to the limited number of investments we currently hold, we closely monitor our asset composition in order to continue to satisfy the asset diversification test and maintain our status as a RIC. To maintain our status as a RIC, in addition to other requirements, as of the close of each quarter end, we must meet the asset diversification test, which requires that at least 50% of the value of our assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government securities or certain other qualified securities (the “50% Threshold”). However, the failure to meet the 50% Threshold alone will not necessarily result in our loss of RIC status. In circumstances where the failure to meet the 50% Threshold is the result of fluctuations in the value of our assets, including as a result of the sale of assets, we will still be deemed to have satisfied the 50% Threshold and, therefore, maintain our RIC status, provided that we have not made any new investments in non-qualifying securities, including additional investments in non-qualifying securities of existing portfolio companies, since the time that we fell below the 50% Threshold. We satisfied the diversification requirement as of March 31, 2017. A more detailed description of our RIC status is located in Item 1. — Business - Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which has been filed with the SEC.

 

Distributions

 

Distribution Policy

 

Distributions to our stockholders, if any, will be from available funds, as determined by our Board of Directors, with the intention of distributing up to 100% of the proceeds from the sales of our portfolio investments.

 

On March 25, 2016, our Board of Directors adopted a distribution policy with the objective to make special distributions to stockholders as declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion. Based on our Board of Directors’ change to our investment objective to preserve capital and maximize stockholder value and resolution to monetize our portfolio holdings at the earliest practicable date, we will no longer pay regular quarterly distributions to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors may amend or terminate the distribution policy at any time.

 

Due to the uncertainty of our current portfolio companies achieving a liquidity event, we can give no assurance that we will be able make distributions from the sale of our portfolio investments. Furthermore, we can give no assurance that we will achieve investment results that will allow such distributions to be paid from net investment income or net realized capital gains. There is no assurance that our current portfolio companies will complete an IPO, sale/merger or other liquidity event or that we will be able to realize any net capital gains from the sale of our portfolio company investments. Our ability to make distributions may also be adversely affected by, among other things, the impact of one or more risk factors described herein. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that we will make distributions to our stockholders in the future.

 

If our distributions for any year exceed our net investment income and net realized capital gains, the difference will be distributed from our capital and will constitute a return of capital to our stockholders. A return of capital is generally not taxable and, instead, reduces a stockholder’s tax basis in his shares of our common stock. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect our investment performance and generally does not reflect income earned. The tax character of a distribution is determined based upon our total net investment income, net realized capital gains and distributions made with respect to a taxable year and, therefore, cannot be finally determined until after the close of the relevant taxable year. Distributions representing a return of capital also deplete our total assets.

 

Section 19 of the 1940 Act requires us to accompany each distribution payment with a notice if any part of that payment is from a source other than taxable net investment income. This Section 19(a) notice is not for tax reporting purposes and is provided for informational purposes. The Section 19(a) notice provides details on the anticipated source(s) of our distributions. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in Section 19(a) notices are only estimates and the actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon our investment experience during the year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Distributions in excess of our accumulated earnings and profits would generally be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. We will send stockholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar years that will report to stockholders the tax characterization of these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

If we convert to a liquidating trust pursuant to the Plan, subject to final approval of the trustees of the liquidating trust, we anticipate that the liquidating trust will make a special cash distribution to holders of beneficial interests in the liquidating trust shortly after the conversion. Apart from our stated plan to distribute $1.60 per share if our shareholders approve our conversion to a liquidating trust, there can be no assurances at this time as to the amount or timing of the special cash distribution because any distribution is contingent upon our stockholders approving the Plan to convert to the liquidating trust. Moreover, although the liquidating trust will be required to make distributions at least annually, to the extent there are any proceeds from a sale of assets, we cannot make guarantees as to the amount of such distributions or the ability of the liquidating trust to dispose of its illiquid assets.

 

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

 

We have maintained a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder had elected to receive dividends in cash. As a result of our investment policy and liquidation plan, no dividends are expected to be declared.

 

Dividend History

 

We did not declare any distributions to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016. The following table summarizes our distributions declared for the years ended 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

Stock Repurchases

 

On November 10, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $1 million for a six month period to expire on May 10, 2016. On January 20, 2016, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to this stock repurchase program to allow for greater flexibility, by narrowing the current “blackout” period during which we are prohibited from purchasing shares, and increasing the size of the program from $1 million to $2 million. Our Board of Directors previously authorized several six month extensions of the stock repurchase program which expired on May 10, 2017. On April 13, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a further extension of the stock repurchase program for an additional six months to expire on November 10, 2017. Under the repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock in open market transactions, including through block purchases, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors, without reliance on the “safe harbor” provisions set forth in Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases. The repurchase program may be extended, modified or discontinued at any time for any reason. The stock repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we repurchased 113,354 shares of our common stock at an average price of $2.08 per share, including commissions, with a total cost of $235,577. Our net asset value per share increased by $0.02 per share as a result of the repurchased shares during the year ended December 31, 2016. The weighted average discount to net asset value per share of the shares repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2016 was 41%.

 

We accounted for the repurchases of our common stock under the cost method based on the actual cost of the repurchases.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, we may enter into investment agreements under which we commit to make an investment in a portfolio company at some future date or over a specified period of time. As of March 31, 2017, we had not entered into any investment agreements, which required us to make a future investment in a portfolio company.

 

On October 15, 2015, Suniva completed a stock-for-stock merger transaction with SFCE. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Suniva and its shareholders, including us, are required to indemnify SFCE for certain breaches of warranties and representations made to SFCE, subject to a cap of approximately 12.5% of the merger consideration received by us. Any damages payable by us would be settled through an adjustment to the number of shares of common stock in the surviving company held by us and/or SFCE.

 

On November 18, 2014, Xtime, Inc., a private portfolio company, completed an all-cash merger transaction with Cox Automotive, Inc. At the closing of the merger, we were required to set aside approximately $809,311 in escrow as partial security for potential stockholder indemnification obligations under the merger agreement. The $809,311 represents additional proceeds that may be released to us at a later date subject to potential indemnity claims. On January 13, 2015, Escrowed Funds totaling $105,210 were released to us from the Xtime escrow without any offset for indemnity claims. On January 15, 2016, Escrowed Funds totaling $606,984 were released to us from the Xtime escrow without any offset for indemnity claims. As of December 31, 2016, we recognized $6,067 in additional proceeds in connection with the expense fund related to Xtime’s merger transaction. As of March 31, 2017, the Escrowed Funds were fair valued at $95,768. The remaining funds held in the Xtime escrow are expected to be released in November of 2017, net of settlement of any indemnity claims. Although recovery under the stockholder indemnity obligation is generally limited to the escrow fund, we may be liable for our pro rata amount of any damages for certain types of indemnity claims not to exceed the cash consideration received by us, provided, however, in the case of our fraud or intentional misrepresentation, there is no limitation on liability. Except as discussed above, we have not been notified of any stockholder indemnity claims.

 

We maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy and an excess coverage policy that provide liability insurance coverage for our officers and directors. We have also agreed to indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law subject to the restrictions in the 1940 Act.

 

Under our former Investment Advisory Agreement, absent the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of BDCA Venture Adviser or BDCA Venture Adviser’s reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, we agreed to indemnify BDCA Venture Adviser (including its officers, managers, agents, employees and members of its investment committee) for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising out of BDCA Venture Adviser’s performance of its duties and obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement, except to the extent specified in the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the former Investment Advisory Agreement, the indemnification provision shall remain in full force and effect, and BDCA Venture Adviser shall remain entitled to the benefits thereof, notwithstanding any termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

As of March 31, 2017, we and our officers and directors are not a party to any material legal proceedings. 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 contracts with our portfolio companies.

 

Recent Developments

 

Portfolio Company Activity

 

On April 17, 2017, Suniva, of which we own 2,844 shares of Class A Common Stock, filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. This action stemmed from a mixture of significant downward pressure on solar cell and module prices manufactured by Suniva due to foreign competition, and a significant increase in debt as part of a planned expansion at Suniva’s Norcross, GA facility.

 

Plan of Liquidation

 

On April 17, 2017, we filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC to seek approval for the Plan of Liquidation and related matters at a special meeting of stockholders. We also filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC on the same date relating to an annual meeting of stockholders seeking a vote on certain nominees to our Board of Director and for the ratification of the selection of Tait, Weller & Baker, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

 

Stock Repurchase Program

 

On April 13, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a further extension of the stock repurchase program for an additional six months to expire on November 10, 2017, or until the Company is converted into a liquidating trust, whichever is earlier. Under the repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock in open market transactions, including through block purchases, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors, without reliance on the “safe harbor” provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases. This stock repurchase program may be extended, modified or discontinued at any time for any reason. Furthermore, the repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

A summary of our significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

On March 25, 2016, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors approved the reimbursement of $125,157 in legal and proxy solicitation costs incurred by Bulldog Investors, LLC (“Bulldog”), a stockholder and beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, as a result of the contested proxy campaign in connection with our 2015 Annual Meeting. This reimbursement was paid to Bulldog on March 30, 2016 and included the costs of Bulldog’s litigation against us in the Circuit Court of Maryland and the New York Supreme Court and costs associated with the proxy process and the election of our new Board of Directors. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is required to review and approve any transactions with related parties (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Our business activities contain elements of risk. We consider the primary type of market risk attributable to us to be valuation risk.

 

Valuation Risk

 

Value, as defined in Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, is (i) the market price for those securities for which market quotations are readily available, and (ii) fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors for all other assets. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 3 - Portfolio Investments and Fair Value in the interim financial statements filed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

Because there is initially no public market for the securities of the private companies in which we invest, the valuation of these investments is estimated in good faith by our Board of Directors, in accordance with our valuation procedures. In the absence of a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of our portfolio company investments may differ significantly from the value that would be placed on the portfolio if a ready market for such securities existed. Changes in valuation of these portfolio company investments are recorded in our Statement of Operations as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation).” Changes in valuation of any of our investments in privately held companies from one period to another may be volatile.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect our interest income from portfolio investments and cash and cash equivalents. We primarily invest our cash on hand in demand deposit accounts, short-term U.S. Treasury securities and money market funds that invest primarily in U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government agency securities, and repurchase agreements fully-collateralized by such securities. As of March 31, 2017, we held cash deposits of $20.2 million, pending payment of our operating expenses or payment of distributions or potential stock repurchases, for which we have market risk exposure relating to fluctuations in interest rates.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, our demand deposit accounts and money market funds earned an effective annualized interest rate of approximately 0.95%. Assuming no other changes to our holdings of demand deposit accounts and money market funds as of March 31, 2017, a one percentage point change in the underlying interest rate payable on our demand deposit accounts and money market funds would not have a material effect on the amount of interest income earned from our demand deposit accounts and money market funds for the following 90-day period.

 

Our investment income from portfolio companies will also be affected by changes in various interest rates to the extent our debt investments include floating interest rates. As of March 31, 2017, none of our income-bearing debt investments in portfolio companies bore interest based on floating rates.

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had no debt or borrowed money.

 

We may engage in hedging transactions with respect to the market risks to which we are exposed subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. However, if we do engage in hedging transactions, we may expose ourselves to risks associated with such transactions. We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception, and we currently do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risks to which we are exposed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31, 2017 (the end of the period covered by this quarterly report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Management has not identified any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

In addition to other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which has been filed with the SEC. There have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2017 to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

We did not engage in any unregistered sales of equity securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. We also did not complete any share repurchases under our stock repurchase program during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. See Note 6 – Stock Repurchases in the interim financial statements filed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
