Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
our ability and experience operating a BDC or maintaining our qualification as a RIC under the Code;
our dependence on key personnel;
our ability to maintain or develop referral relationships;
the ability of OFS Advisor, to identify, invest in and monitor companies that meet our investment criteria;
actual and potential conflicts of interest with OFS Advisor and other affiliates of OFSAM;
constraint on investments due to access to material nonpublic information;
restrictions on our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates;
the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments;
competition for investment opportunities;
our ability to raise debt or equity capital as a BDC;
the timing, form and amount of any distributions from our portfolio companies;
the impact of a protracted decline in the liquidity of credit markets on our business;
the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;
uncertain valuations of our portfolio investments; and
the effect of new or modified laws or regulations governing our operations, including the ability to incur additional leverage under the SBCAA.
Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, those described or identified in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We have based the forward-looking statements on information available to us on the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we may file with the SEC in the future, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements and projections contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act.
The following should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Note 1. Organization
The Company is a Maryland corporation formed on December 8, 2015, as an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a BDC and as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.
The Company’s objective is to provide stockholders with current income and capital appreciation through its strategic investment focus primarily on debt investments and, to a lesser extent, equity investments primarily in middle-market companies located principally in the United States. OFS Advisor manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. OFS Advisor, an affiliate of the Company, a registered investment adviser, and a subsidiary of OFSAM, serves as investment adviser to the Company, and Evolv, a registered investment adviser, serves as sub-adviser to the Company.
In addition, OFS Advisor serves as the investment adviser for OFS Capital is a publicly traded BDC with an investment strategy similar to the Company. OFS Advisor also serves as the investment adviser for OCCI, a newly organized, non-diversified, externally managed, closed-end management investment company that has registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act that primarily invests in the equity tranche of CLOs.
The Company intends to raise up to $200,000,000 through offering shares of its common stock to investors in a continuous offering in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, the Company and OFS Advisor have entered into a dealer manager agreement with the Dealer Manager. Placement activities are conducted by the Dealer Manager and participating broker dealers who solicit subscriptions to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Fees and expenses paid pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement are paid in part by the Company and in part by OFS Advisor.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation: The accompanying interim financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to ASC Topic 946, Financial Services–Investment Companies, the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q, and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for fair presentation as of and for the periods presented. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10 K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
Significant Accounting Policies: The following information supplements the description of significant accounting policies contained in Note 2 to the Company's financial statements included in the Company's 2017 Annual Report on Form 10 K.
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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Concentration of credit risk: Aside from its debt instruments, financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits at financial institutions. At various times during the year, the Company may exceed the federally insured limits. To mitigate this risk, the Company places cash deposits only with high credit quality institutions. Management believes this risk of loss is minimal. The amount of loss due to credit risk from debt investments if borrowers fail to perform according to the terms of the contracts, and the collateral or other security for those instruments proved to be of no value to the Company, is equal to the Company's recorded investment in debt instruments and the unfunded loan commitments as disclosed in Note 6.
New accounting standards: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
 


In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective September 30, 2018.
The Company did not adopt any other new accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 that had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
The following table discusses recently issued ASUs, as issued by the FASB yet to be adopted by the Company:
Standard
 
Description
 
Effect of adoption on the financial statements
Standards that are not yet adopted
 
 
ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
 
Shortens the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. Securities held at a discount are to continue to be amortized to maturity.
 
Annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the ASU in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The adoption of ASU 2017-08 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities
 
Eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires, for qualifying hedges, the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. Additionally, the guidance also expands an entity's ability to apply hedge accounting for nonfinancial and financial risk components, simplifies the hedge documentation and hedge effectiveness assessment requirements, and modifies certain disclosure requirements.
 
Annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on the Company’s financial position or disclosures.
Note 3. Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory and Management Agreement: OFS Advisor manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, which became effective on August 30, 2016, when the Company satisfied the Minimum Offering Requirement. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, which are in accordance with the 1940 Act and subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s Board, OFS Advisor is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting research and diligence on potential investments and equity sponsors, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments, and monitoring investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. OFS Advisor is a subsidiary of OFSAM and a registered investment advisor under the Advisers Act.
OFS Advisor’s services under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive to us and OFS Advisor is free to furnish similar services to other entities, including other BDCs affiliated with OFS Advisor, so long as its services to us are not impaired. OFS Advisor also serves as the investment adviser to CLO funds and other assets, including OFS Capital and OCCI.
OFS Advisor receives fees for providing services, consisting of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee. From August 30, 2016, the effective date of the Investment Advisory Agreement, through May 19, 2017, the base management fee was calculated at an annual rate of 2.0% and based on the average value of the Company’s total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity)

20

Hancock Park Corporate Income, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
 


at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter. On May 19, 2017, OFS Advisor agreed to permanently reduce the base management fee from 2.0% per annum to 1.25% per annum. The sub-adviser will continue to receive the amount of management fees allocated to it pursuant to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, subject to the reduced base management fee.
The incentive fee has two parts. The first part ("Income Incentive Fee") is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination and sourcing, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest or dividend feature (such as OID, debt instruments with PIK interest, equity investments with accruing or PIK dividend and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash.
Pre-incentive fee net investment income is expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The incentive fee with respect to pre-incentive fee net income is 100.0% of the amount, if any, by which the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds a 1.75% (which is 7.0% annualized) “hurdle rate” but is less than 2.1875% (or 8.75% annually), referred to as the “catch-up” provision, and 20.0% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875%. The “catch-up” is meant to provide OFS Advisor with 20.0% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter.
Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that the Company may pay an incentive fee in a quarter in which the Company incurs a loss. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the quarterly minimum hurdle rate, the Company will pay the applicable incentive fee even if the Company has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized capital losses. The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of the Company’s gross assets used to calculate the base management fee. These calculations are appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during such quarter.
The second part of the incentive fee (the “Capital Gain Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and will equal 20.0% of the Company’s aggregate realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation through the end of such year, less all previous amounts paid in respect of the Capital Gain Fee.
The Company accrues the Capital Gain Fee if, on a cumulative basis, the sum of net realized capital gains and (losses) plus net unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) is positive. If, on a cumulative basis, the sum of net realized capital gains (losses) plus net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) decreases during a period, the Company will reverse any excess Capital Gain Fee previously accrued such that the amount of Capital Gains Fee accrued is no more than 20% of the sum of net realized capital gains (losses) plus net unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
Unless terminated earlier as described below, the Investment Advisory Agreement was originally approved for a period of two years from August 30, 2016 to August 30, 2018 and will remain in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually by the Company’s Board or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities, and, in either case, if also approved by a majority of the Company’s directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act. On April 5, 2018, the Board continued the Investment Advisory Agreement for a twelve month period from August 30, 2018 to August 30, 2019. The Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act, and may be terminated by the Company or OFS Advisor without penalty upon not less than 60 days’ written notice to the other. The holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities may also terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement without penalty upon not less than 60 days’ written notice.
Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement: Evolv serves as the Company’s sub-adviser pursuant to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, which became effective on August 30, 2016, when the Minimum Offering Requirement was satisfied. Evolv assists OFS Advisor with the management of the Company’s activities and operations. On an annualized basis, Evolv earns 20% of the fees paid by the Company to OFS Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each year, which, when

due, are payable by OFS Advisor to Evolv quarterly in arrears. In addition, certain registered representatives of Evolv are also representatives of the Dealer Manager.
Unless terminated earlier as described below, the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement was originally approved for a period of two years from August 30, 2016 to August 30, 2018 and will remain in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually by the Company’s Board, including a majority of the Company’s directors who are not interested persons, or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities. The Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time by Evolv upon not less than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company and OFS Advisor, or by the Company or OFS Advisor upon not less than 60 days’ prior written notice to Evolv and upon (i) the vote of a majority of the Company's outstanding voting securities or (ii) the vote of a majority of the Company’s Board, including a majority of the independent directors. On April 5, 2018, the Board continued the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement for a twelve month period from August 30, 2018 to August 30, 2019. The Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. For the three year period following termination of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, other than for cause, as such term is defined in the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, Evolv will be entitled to receive from OFS Advisor a percentage (up to 20%) of the management fee and incentive fees received by OFS Advisor with respect to every quarter in such three-year period.
Administration Agreement: OFS Services furnishes the Company with office facilities and equipment, necessary software licenses and subscriptions, and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities pursuant to the Administration Agreement. Under the Administration Agreement, OFS Services performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company’s required administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to its stockholders and all other reports and materials required to be filed with the SEC or any other regulatory authority. In addition, OFS Services assists the Company in determining and publishing its net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of its tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to its stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. Under the Administration Agreement, OFS Services also provides managerial assistance on the Company’s behalf to those portfolio companies that have accepted the Company’s offer to provide such assistance. Payment under the Administration Agreement is equal to an amount based upon the Company’s allocable portion of OFS Services’ overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including, but not limited to, rent, information technology services and the Company’s allocable portion of the cost of its officers, including its chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, chief accounting officer, and their respective staffs. To the extent that OFS Services outsources any of its functions, the Company will pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without profit to OFS Services. Amounts charged under the Administration Agreement exclude Contractual Issuer Expenses.

Expense Support Agreement: The Expense Support Agreement is designed to ensure no portion of the Company’s distribution to stockholders will be paid from its Offering proceeds, and provides for expense-reduction payments from OFS Advisor to the Company in any quarterly period in which the Company’s cumulative distributions to stockholders exceeds its cumulative distributable ordinary income and net realized gains ("Cumulative Taxable Income"). Cumulative distributions to stockholders may exceed Cumulative Taxable Income to the extent of cumulative tax-basis return-of-capital distributions received by the Company from its investments without resulting in an expense limitation payment from OFS Advisor. The Expense Support Agreement provides for reimbursement of these payments by the Company to OFS Advisor, however, such liability shall only accrue (i) to the extent they do not cause the then-current annualized year-to-date and quarterly "Other Operating Expense Ratio" (defined below) to exceed such ratios for the annual and quarterly periods, respectively, for which the Company will reimburse OFS Advisor as presented in the table below, and (ii) if the then-current annualized rate of distribution per share equals or exceeds the annualized rate of distribution per share of the supported period for which the Company will reimburse

OFS Advisor. The Other Operating Expense Ratio is defined as total operating expenses reported in the statement of operations excluding interest expense, management fees, incentive fees, organization cost, amortization of deferred offering costs, and Contractual Issuer Expenses as a percentage of net assets. Payments under the Expense Support Agreement will be eligible for reimbursement for three years from the date accrued.

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by management under the supervision, and review and approval of the Board.

26

Hancock Park Corporate Income, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
 


Fair value is defined 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. Fair values are determined with models or other valuation techniques, valuation inputs, and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation inputs are organized in a hierarchy that gives the highest priority to prices for identical assets or liabilities quoted in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of inputs in the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information under the circumstances and may require significant judgment or estimation by management. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
There were no transfers among Level 1, 2 and 3 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market or observable inputs existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions, or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company might realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded. The Company’s investments are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments are traded.
The following tables provide quantitative information about valuation techniques and the Company’s significant inputs to the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the tables below, according to the Company’s valuation policy, the Company may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the Company’s fair value measurements. The tables below are not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides information on the significant Level 3 inputs as they relate to the Company’s fair value measurements.

Averages in the preceding two tables were weighted by the fair value of the related instruments.
Changes in market credit spreads or events impacting the credit quality of the underlying portfolio company (both of which could impact the discount rate), among other things, could have a significant impact on debt fair value. Due to the wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

The net change in unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, reported in the Company’s statements of operations attributable to the Company’s Level 3 assets held at period end was $(360).
Other Financial Assets and Liabilities
GAAP requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate such value. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of its other financial instruments such as cash, receivables and payables approximate the fair value of such items due to the short maturity of such instruments.
The information presented should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since fair value measurements are only required for a portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to the wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.
Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. Although the outcome of such litigation cannot be predicted with any certainty, management is of the opinion, based on the advice of legal counsel, that final disposition of any litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2018.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not occurred. The Company believes the risk of any material obligation under these indemnifications to be low.
Note 7. Borrowings
PWB Credit Facility: The Company is party to the BLA with Pacific Western Bank, as lender, to provide the Company with a $10.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, or PWB Credit Facility. The PWB Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes including investment funding and is scheduled to mature on September 12, 2019. The maximum availability of the PWB Credit Facility is equal to 35% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of eligible loans included in the borrowing base, which excludes subordinated loan investments and as otherwise specified in the BLA. The PWB Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate of the Prime Rate plus a 0.75% margin, with a 5.75% floor, and includes an unused

commitment fee for any unused portion in excess of $3.0 million, payable monthly in arrears, equal to 0.50% per annum on any unused portion. As of September 30, 2018, the interest rate on the PWB Credit Facility was 6.0%.
Maximum availability under the PWB Credit Facility as of September 30, 2018, was $5.8 million based on the stated advance rate of 35% of the borrowing base, of which $-0- was drawn.
The BLA contains customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, affirmative and negative covenants such as information reporting requirements, a minimum tangible net asset value, a minimum quarterly net investment income after incentive fees, and a statutory asset coverage test. The BLA also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, nonpayment, misrepresentation of representations and warranties in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default to other indebtedness, bankruptcy, change in investment advisor, and the occurrence of a material adverse change in our financial condition. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with the applicable covenants.
Note 8. Federal Income Tax
The Company has elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. The determination of the tax attributes of the Company's distributions is made annually as of the end of its fiscal year based on its ICTI and distributions for the full year.
The tax-basis of portfolio investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments did not differ from their GAAP basis as of September 30, 2018. The tax-basis cost of investments and associated tax-basis gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) inherent in the fair value of investments as of December 31, 2017, were as follows:

The above distributions were funded, in part, through the reimbursement of certain operating expenses by OFS Advisor under the Expense Support Agreement. The Expense Support Agreement is designed to ensure no portion of the Company's distribution to stockholders will be paid from Offering proceeds, and will provide for expense reduction payments to the Company in any quarterly period in which the Company's cumulative distributions to stockholders exceeds the Company's cumulative ICTI and net realized gains. The Expense Support Agreement may be terminated by OFS Advisor, without payment of any penalty, with or without notice to the Company.
Repurchases of Shares
The SBCAA permits a BDC to reduce its asset coverage ratio from 200% to 150% so long as such BDC complies with certain requirements contained within the SBCAA. For BDCs, like the Company, that do not have shares of common stock listed on a national securities exchange, in order to take advantage of the modified asset coverage ratio, they must, among other things, extend to each of the BDC’s stockholders as of the date of approval from the BDC’s board of directors, the opportunity to sell the securities held by that stockholder as of that date.
Note 11. Subsequent Events Not Disclosed Elsewhere
On October 1, 2018, the Company collected all $2,066,150 related to subscriptions receivable as of September 30, 2018. Subsequently, the Company sold an additional 83,231 common shares for additional net proceeds of $1,125,431.
On October 29, 2018, the Board declared a distribution of $0.0875 per common share, payable on January 15, 2019, to stockholders of record on each of October 29, 2018, November 28, 2018, and December 27, 2018.

Notes to Financial Statements
 


On November 6, 2018, the Company’s Board, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board, approved a proposal to permit the Company to reduce the minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to it from 200% to 150%, as permitted by and pursuant to the SBCAA. Pursuant to the SBCAA,  the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company will be decreased from 200% to 150%, effective November 6, 2019, provided that the Company extends to each of its stockholders as of November 6, 2018, an offer to repurchase the equity securities held by such stockholder as of November 6, 2018, with 25% of such equity securities to be repurchased in each of the four quarters following November 6, 2018.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company and have elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We were formed on December 8, 2015, as a corporation under the laws of Maryland. Our investment objective is to provide our stockholders with both current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments and, to a lesser extent, equity investments. Our investment strategy focuses primarily on investments in middle-market companies in the United States. We use the term “middle-market” to refer to companies that may exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: number of employees between 150 and 2,000; revenues between $15 million and $300 million; annual EBITDA, between $3 million and $50 million; generally, private companies owned by private equity firms or owners/operators; and enterprise value between $10 million and $500 million. For additional information about how we define the middle-market, see "Item 1. Business—Investment Criteria/Guidelines" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
While our investment strategy focuses primarily on middle-market companies in the United States, including senior secured loans, which includes first-lien, second-lien and unitranche loans as well as subordinated loans and, to a lesser extent, warrants and other equity securities, we also may invest up to 30% of our portfolio in opportunistic investments of non-eligible portfolio companies. Specifically, as part of this 30% basket, we may consider investments in investment funds that are operating pursuant to certain exceptions to the 1940 Act and in advisers to similar investment funds, as well as in debt of middle-market companies located outside of the United States and debt and equity of public companies that do not meet the definition of eligible portfolio companies because their market capitalization of publicly traded equity securities exceeds the levels provided for in the 1940 Act.
We intend to raise up to $200,000,000 through the Offering, in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Placement activities are conducted by our officers and OFS Advisor. In addition, we have entered, and may enter, into additional agreements with placement agents or broker-dealers to solicit investor capital commitments (“Capital Commitments”). In particular, we and OFS Advisor have entered into the Dealer Manager Agreement with the Dealer Manager and certain participating broker-dealers to solicit Capital Commitments. Fees and expenses paid pursuant to these agreements will be paid in part by us and in part by OFS Advisor. On August 30, 2016, we satisfied the Minimum Offering Requirement when Funding I, a subsidiary of OFSAM, purchased 74,074 shares of our common stock in the Offering for gross proceeds of $1,000,000, or $13.50 per share. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees were paid by us in connection with this purchase. On May 19, 2017, OFS Advisor agreed to pay the dealer manager fee on subsequent sales of shares of our common stock in the Offering. Payments of dealer manager fees by OFS Advisor are not subject to reimbursement by us. Since commencing operations on August 30, 2016, and as of November 12, 2018, we have sold a total of 1,715,074 shares of common stock for total gross proceeds of $23,752,943.
Our investment activities are managed by OFS Advisor and supervised by our Board, a majority of whom are independent of us, OFS Advisor and its affiliates. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement we have agreed to pay OFS Advisor an annual base management fee, and an incentive fee based on our investment performance. From August 30, 2016, the effective date of the Investment Advisory Agreement, through May 19, 2017, the base management fee was calculated at an annual rate of 2.0% and based on the average value of our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts and including assets owned by any entity) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter. On May 19, 2017, OFS Advisor agreed to permanently reduce the base management fee from 2.0% per annum to 1.25% per annum. Our sub-adviser will continue to receive the amount of management fees allocated to it pursuant to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, subject to the reduced base management fee. OFS Advisor also serves as the investment adviser to CLO funds and other assets, including OFS Capital, a publicly traded BDC with an investment strategy similar to the Company's, and OCCI, a publicly traded registered investment company under the 1940 Act that primarily invests in the equity tranche of CLOs. Evolv, a registered investment advisor, serves as our sub-advisor pursuant to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement.
We have also entered into an Administration Agreement with OFS Services. Under our Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse OFS Services for our allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of our independent directors) of overhead and other expenses incurred by OFS Services in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement.
As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our assets, as defined by the 1940 Act, are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Under the relevant SEC rules, the term

34


“eligible portfolio company” includes all private companies, companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, and certain public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market capitalization of less than $250 million, in each case organized in the United States.
We are permitted to borrow money from time to time within the levels permitted by the 1940 Act which generally prohibits us from incurring indebtedness unless immediately after such borrowing we have an asset coverage for total borrowings of at least 200% (i.e., the amount of debt may not exceed 50% of the value of our assets). On March 23, 2018, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018, which includes the SBCAA, was signed into law. The SBCAA amends the 1940 Act to permit a BDC to reduce the required minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to it from 200% to 150%, subject to certain requirements described therein.
On November 6, 2018, the Board, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board, approved the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the SBCAA. As a result, provided we extend to each of our stockholders as of November 6, 2018, an offer to repurchase the equity securities held by such stockholder as of November 6, 2018, with 25% of such equity securities to be repurchased in each of the four quarters following November 6, 2018, the asset coverage ratio test applicable to us will be decreased from 200% to 150%, effective November 6, 2019.

We may borrow money when the terms and conditions available are favorable to do so and are aligned with our investment strategy and portfolio composition. The use of borrowed funds or the proceeds of preferred stock to make investments would have its own specific benefits and risks, and all of the costs of borrowing funds or issuing preferred stock would be borne by holders of our common stock.
We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and assets diversification requirements. Pursuant to these elections, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income we distribute to our stockholders.
The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from making certain negotiated co-investments with certain affiliates absent an order from the SEC permitting the BDC to do so. On October 12, 2016, we received exemptive relief from the SEC to permit us to co-invest in portfolio companies with certain other funds managed by OFS Advisor, including OFS Capital (“Affiliated Funds”) in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”). Pursuant to the Order, we are generally permitted to co-invest with Affiliated Funds if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching by us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our investment objective and strategies. As a result of the exemptive relief, there could be significant overlap in our investment portfolio and the investment portfolios of OFS Capital and/or other funds established by OFS Advisor that could avail themselves of the exemptive relief.
Related Party Transactions
We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
The Investment Advisory Agreement with OFS Advisor to manage our operating and investment activities. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement we have agreed to pay OFS Advisor an annual base management fee based on the average value of our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity) as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. See "Item 1. Financial Statements –– Notes to Financial Statements – Note 3."
The Administration Agreement with OFS Services, an affiliate of OFS Advisor, to provide us with the office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our operations. See "Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Financial Statements – Note 3."
Expense Limitation Agreements: OFS Advisor limits the Company's incurred expenses under two agreements: (1) the Investment Advisory Agreement, which contains provisions limiting organization and offering costs, and Contractual Issuer Expenses; and (2) an Expense Support Agreement, which limits all other operating expenses. Both agreement contain conditions under which we may become obligated to reimburse OFS Advisor for expense limitations provided thereunder. See "Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Financial Statements – Note 3."

35


OFS Advisor’s services under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive to us and OFS Advisor is free to furnish similar services to other entities, including other BDCs affiliated with OFS Advisor, so long as its services to us are not impaired. OFS Advisor also serves as the investment adviser to CLO funds and other assets, including OFS Capital and OCCI.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are those relating to revenue recognition, expense limitation agreements and fair value estimates. Management has discussed the development and selection of each critical accounting policy and estimate with the Audit Committee of the Board. For descriptions of our revenue recognition and fair value policies, see "Item 8. Financial Statements – Notes to Financial Statements – Note 2" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis – Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Fair value estimates. Our discounted cash flow valuations involve a determination of discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in the investment. Management uses two methods to estimate discount rates: the weighted-average cost of capital method, which is a method based upon a hypothetical recapitalization of the entity given its current operating performance and current market conditions; and a hypothetical debt rating method, which assigns a surrogate debt rating to the entity based on known industry standards for assigning such ratings and estimates the discount rate based on observed market conditions for actual rated debt. These methods generally produce a range of discount rates, and management, under the supervision of the Board of Directors, generally select the midpoint of the range for fair value measures.
Our market approach valuations, generally applied to equity investments and investments in non-performing debt, involve a determination of an enterprise value multiple to a financial performance metric of the portfolio company, generally EBITDA. These determinations are based on identification of a comparable set of publicly traded companies and determination of a public-to-private liquidity adjustment factor. This method generally produces a range of multiplier values and management, under the supervision of the Board of Directors, generally select the midpoint of the range for fair value measures.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of our fair value measures to reasonably likely changes to the estimated discount rate and EBITDA multiple inputs used in our investment valuations at September 30, 2018:

(1) The weighted average yield on our debt investments is computed as (a) the annual stated accruing interest on our debt investments at the balance sheet date, plus the annualized accretion of Net Loan Fees divided by (b) amortized cost of our debt investments as of the balance sheet date.
The weighted average yield on senior secured debt investments increased approximately 39 basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as a result of net investments in new and existing portfolio companies. The remainder is attributable to increases in reference rates on variable-rate investments, predominantly three-month LIBOR.
The weighted average yield on total investments was 10.60% and 10.22% at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Weighted average yield on total investments is computed as (a) the annual stated accruing interest on our debt investments at the balance sheet date, plus the annualized accretion of Net Loan Fees, plus the effective yield on our performing preferred equity investments, divided by (b) amortized cost of our total investment portfolio, including assets in non-accrual status as of the balance sheet date. The weighted average yield of our investments is not the same as a return on investment for our stockholders but rather the gross investment income from our investment portfolio before the payment of all of our fees and expenses. There can be no assurance that the weighted average yield will remain at its current level.
We categorize debt investments into seven risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt. For additional information regarding our risk categories, see “Item 1. Business–Portfolio Review/Risk Monitoring” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. All of our debt investments were classified as a risk category 3 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Notable investments in new portfolio companies during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, include STS Operating, Inc. ($1.70 million senior secured loan), Performance Team, LLC ($1.49 million senior secured loan) and Pelican Products, Inc. ($2.00 million senior secured loan).
The weighted-average yield of debt investments in new portfolio companies during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was 10.7%.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we closed ten new senior secured debt investments for $2,158,554, which included a $583,698 senior secured debt investment, together with a $79,650 preferred equity investment. In addition we closed a $457,875 subordinated debt investment, together with a $37,500 common equity investment, and one new $90,563 senior secured debt investment in an existing portfolio company.
Our level of investment activity may vary substantially from period to period depending on various factors, including, but not limited to, the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.
Results of Operations
Key Financial Measures
The following is a discussion of the key financial measures that management employs in reviewing the performance of our operations.
Total Investment Income. We generate revenue in the form of interest income on debt investments and dividend income from our equity investments. Our debt investments typically have a term of three to eight years and bear interest at fixed and floating rates. In some cases, our investments provide for deferred interest or dividend payments, PIK interest, or PIK dividends (meaning interest or dividends paid in the form of additional principal amount of the loan or equity security instead of in cash). We also generate revenue in the form of management, valuation, and other contractual fees, which is recognized as the related services are rendered. In the general course of business, we receive certain fees from portfolio companies which are non-recurring in nature. Such non-recurring fees include prepayment fees on certain loans repaid prior to their scheduled due date, which are recognized as earned when received, and fees for capital structuring services from certain co-lenders, which are recognized as earned upon closing of the investment. Net Loan Fees are capitalized, and accreted or amortized over the life of the loan as interest income. When we receive principal payments on a loan in an amount that exceeds its amortized cost, we will also recognize the excess principal payment as income in the period it is received.
Expenses. Our primary operating expenses include professional fees, the payment of fees to OFS Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, our allocable portion of overhead expenses under the Administration Agreement and other operating costs described below. Additionally, we will pay interest expense on any outstanding debt under any new credit facility or other debt instrument we may enter into. We will bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, whether incurred by us directly or on our behalf by a third party, including:
the cost of calculating our net asset value, including the cost of any third-party valuation services;
the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and other securities;
fees payable to third parties relating to making investments, including out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence and reviews of prospective investments;
transfer agent and custodial fees;
out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;
federal and state registration fees and any stock exchange listing fees;
U.S. federal, state and local taxes;
independent directors’ fees and expenses;
brokerage commissions;
fidelity bond, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and other insurance premiums;
direct costs, such as printing, mailing and long-distance telephone;
fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs;
costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and other applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws; and

39


other expenses incurred by either OFS Services or us in connection with administering our business.
Net Gain (Loss) on Investments. Net gain (loss) on investments consists of the sum of: (a) realized gains and losses from the sale of debt or equity securities, or the redemption of equity securities; and (b) net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on debt and equity investments. In the period in which a realized gain or loss is recognized, such gain or loss will generally be offset by the reversal of previously recognized unrealized appreciation or depreciation, and the net gain recognized in that period,if any, will generally be smaller. The accumulated net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on debt securities is also reversed when those investments are redeemed or paid off prior to maturity. In such instances, the reversal of accumulated unrealized appreciation or depreciation will be reported as a net loss or gain, respectively, and may be partially offset by the acceleration of any premium or discount on the debt security, which is reported in interest income, and any prepayment fees on the debt security, which is reported in fee income.
We could experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including the interest rate payable on the debt securities we acquire, the default rate on such securities, the level of our expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, distributions from our portfolio companies, the degree to which we encounter competition in our markets and general economic conditions. In light of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods. Moreover, as a BDC and a RIC, we will also be subject to certain constraints on our operations, including, but not limited to, limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the Code.
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations can vary substantially from period to period for various reasons, including the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, annual comparisons of net increase in net assets resulting from operations may not be meaningful.

Investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, consisted primarily of interest income on our debt investments and syndication fee income, and was $481,144 and $1,005,822, respectively. The increase in interest income is primarily due to the growth in our portfolio from the deployment of Offering proceeds. Syndication fee income resulted from approximately $58 million and $38 million in loan originations during that period which OFS Advisor sourced, structured, and arranged the lending group, and for which we were additionally compensated. Additionally, the weighted-average yield on our portfolio increased from 9.25% at September 30, 2017, to 10.60% at September 30, 2018. See "—Portfolio Composition and Investment Activity."

Expenses Limited under the Investment Management Agreement
Offering Expenses. We incurred offering costs of $23,924 and $32,649 during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which we defer and amortize over twelve months after incurrence. Offering costs incurred prior to the commencement of the Offering on July 18, 2016, were deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over twelve months from July 18, 2016. All offering costs incurred subsequent to July 18, 2016, are deferred and amortized over a twelve month period from the date incurred. Offering costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, include legal fees incurred related to ordinary due diligence and developing distribution platforms for our common stock. Offering costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, also include non-recurring legal fees related to establishing custody agreements with clearing broker-dealers to permit their custody of our common stock.
Amortization of offering costs was $45,628 and $131,667 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Higher amortization expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, relate to the amortization of costs that accumulated through July 18, 2016, and amortized over the following year.
Contractual Issuer Expenses. Contractual Issuer Expenses declined in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year as the fund has grown and the marketing of the fund has required less direct involvement of OFS Advisor’s employees, employees of their affiliates to achieve Offering goals.

Management fees increased due to an increase in our management fee base (generally total assets less cash and subscriptions receivable) as a result of growth in our portfolio from the deployment of Offering proceeds. Administrative fees are primarily related to accounting and record-keeping services, and preparation and filing of required periodic reports with the SEC. Administrative fees increased due to our growth and need for additional administrative services. Principal administrative services provided during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, include preparation of financial reports and filings with the SEC, tax compliance, determination of net asset value, and other administrative activities. Administrative services provided during the three months ended September 30, 2018, also include activities related to our annual shareholder meeting. Professional fees include fees for our attorneys, independent accountants and consultants.

Expense Limitations
Expense Limitations under Investment Advisory Agreement. We reimbursed OFS Advisor $66,960 and $164,772 for organization and offering expenses, and Contractual Issuer Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. These reimbursed amounts represent the net amount of expenses we recognized for these items and are in excess of those expenses subject to limitation under Investment Advisory Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, of $48,118 and $143,428, which resulted in the recognition of additional expenses of $18,842 and $21,344, respectively. We are conditionally obligated to pay OFS Advisor up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering until all reimbursable organization and offering costs, and Contractual Issuer Expenses paid by OFS Advisor and its affiliates have been recovered. Reimbursable organization and offering costs, and Contractual Issuer Expenses were $1,020,761 as of September 30, 2018.
All organization and offering expenses, and Contractual Issuer Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, have been limited to $53,871 and $123,023, respectively, under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. We reimbursed OFS Advisor $15,361 and $38,374 in organization costs and Contractual Issuer Expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, which reduced other expense limitations for that period and resulted in net recognition of expense. We also reimbursed OFS Advisor $36,415 and $82,223 in offering costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, of which $36,415 and $74,186, respectively, was amortized at the time of reimbursement, and reduced the expense limitations for that period and resulted in net recognition of expense.

Expense Limitations under Expense Support Agreement. Gross operating expenses (operating expenses exclusive of organization and offering expenses, and Contractual Issuer Expenses, and before limitations) are subject to limitation under the Expense Support Agreement. OFS Advisor's obligation to provide such expense support is a function of declared distributions on our common stock, and the amount of support provided is determined by reference to unsupported investment company taxable income (expense) and the amount of the declared distribution; the Expense Support Agreement provides expense support such that distributions are not paid from Offering proceeds. The determination of expense limitation under the Expense Support Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, is presented below.

(1)
Expense limitation under Expense Support Agreement is generally based on ICTI, which excludes organization costs, amortization of deferred offering costs, Contractual Issuer Expenses, and the related expense support under the Investment Advisory Agreement as such items are permanent differences between GAAP and taxable income. PIK dividends are excluded from the determination of ICTI until collected. See “Item 8. Financial Statements–Notes to Financial Statements–Note 7” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(2)
Generally defined in the Expense Support Agreement as our operating expenses determined in accordance with GAAP excluding organization and offering expenses, Contractual Issuer Expenses, interested expenses, and base management fees, and incentive fees. The annualized ratio of other operating expenses to net assets at the time of support and annual ratio for the year in which support is provided constitute conditions for reimbursement to OFS Advisor. See "Item 1. Financial Statements–Notes to Financial Statements–Note 3."
Expense limitation under both the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Expense Support Agreement is cancelable at any time.
Net unrealized appreciation on non-control/non-affiliate investments
Net unrealized depreciation on non-control/non-affiliate investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, is principally due to market activity observed in the broadly-syndicated loans held by the Company and the positive impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors on equity investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents
We expect to generate cash primarily from (i) the net proceeds of the Offering, (ii) cash flows from our operations, including amounts received from OFS Advisor under expense limitation agreements, (iii) the PWB Credit Facility and any other financing arrangements we may enter into in the future and (iv) any future offerings of our equity or debt securities. We may fund a portion of our investments through borrowings from banks, including the PWB Credit Facility, and issuances of senior securities. Our primary use of cash will be for (i) investments in portfolio companies and other investments to comply with certain portfolio diversification requirements, (ii) the cost of operations (including paying OFS Advisor), (iii) debt service of any borrowings and (iv) cash distributions to the holders of our stock. These principal sources and uses of cash and liquidity are presented below:

We used $12,165,597 and $2,709,508 in cash from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The principal source of operating liquidity is investment income collected and expense support received from OFS Advisor through the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Expense Support Agreement. The increase in total investment income collected is due to the growth in our portfolio from the deployment of Offering proceeds.
Investment expenses paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased $254,317 from the comparable period in 2017, predominantly due to the increase in administrative fees of $186,912.
Net purchases and origination of portfolio investments relates to the deployment of Offering proceeds. See "—Portfolio Composition and Investment Activity."
We collected $8,555,125 and $6,212,840 from the sale of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Offering proceeds are net of aggregate commissions and dealer manager fees of $535,202 and $235,419 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, of which $261,925 and $174,159, respectively, were paid by OFS Advisor. On October 1, 2018, we collected $2,066,150 related to subscriptions receivable as of September 30, 2018.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we paid $722,786 in dividends to common stockholders, and subsequent to September 30, 2018, we paid $366,020 in dividends to our common stockholders.
Borrowings
We are party to the BLA with Pacific Western Bank, as lender, to provide us with a $10.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, or PWB Credit Facility. The PWB Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes including investment funding and is scheduled to mature on September 12, 2019. The maximum availability of the PWB Credit Facility is equal to 35% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of eligible loans included in the borrowing base, which excludes subordinated loan investments and as otherwise specified in the BLA. The PWB Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate of the Prime Rate plus a 0.75% margin, with a 5.75% floor, and includes an unused commitment fee for any unused portion in excess of $3.0 million, payable monthly in arrears, equal to 0.50% per annum on any unused portion. As of September 30, 2018, the interest rate on the PWB Credit Facility was 6.0%.
We have up to $10.0 million of available credit under its PWB Credit Facility, of which $-0- was drawn as of September 30, 2018. Maximum availability under the PWB Credit Facility as of September 30, 2018, was $5.8 million based on the stated advance rate of 35% of the borrowing base.

Other Liquidity Matters
We expect to fund the growth of our investment portfolio through the private placement of our common shares and issuances of senior securities or future borrowings to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. We cannot assure stockholders that our plans to raise capital will be successful. In addition, we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our taxable income in order to satisfy the requirements applicable to RICs under Subchapter M of the Code. Consequently, we may not have the ability to fund new investments or make additional investments in our portfolio companies. The illiquidity of our portfolio investments may make it difficult for us to sell these investments when desired and, if we are required to sell these investments, we may realize significantly less than their recorded value.
In addition, as a BDC, we generally will be required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets, less liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to total senior securities, which include all of any borrowings or outstanding preferred stock (of which we had none at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017) of at least 200% (or 150% if certain requirements are met). This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. To fund growth in our investment portfolio in the future, we anticipate needing to raise additional capital from various sources, including the equity markets and the securitization or other debt-related markets, which may or may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
On March 23, 2018, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018, which includes the SBCAA, was signed into law. The SBCAA amends the 1940 Act to permit a BDC to reduce the required minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to it from 200% to 150%, subject to certain requirements described therein.
On November 6, 2018, the Board, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board, approved the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the SBCAA. As a result, provided we extend to each of our stockholders as of November 6, 2018, an offer to repurchase the equity securities held by such stockholder as of November 6, 2018, with 25% of such equity securities to be repurchased in each of the four quarters following November 6, 2018, the ,minimum asset coverage ratio test applicable to us will be decreased from 200% to 150%, effective November 6, 2019. The aggregate amount outstanding related to senior securities issued by us was $1,847 as of September 30, 2018, and our asset coverage was greater than 1,000%.
Contractual Obligations
We, with approval by our Board, entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Expense Support Agreement, the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the Administration Agreement. See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Financial Statements – Note 3.”
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Amounts Conditionally Reimbursable to OFS Advisor.
OFS Advisor and its affiliates have incurred organizational and offering costs, and Contractual Issuer Expenses related to the Company of which $1,020,761 and $1,059,648 were unreimbursed as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. We remain conditionally liable for organization and offering costs incurred by OFS Advisor and its affiliates on our behalf. See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to FInancial Statements – Note 3.”
OFS Advisor has provided aggregate operating expense support of $2,593,938 and $1,628,596 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. We remain conditionally liable for operating expense support provided by OFS Advisor. See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Financial Statements – Note 3.”
Unfunded Commitments.
We may become a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. These instruments may include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. We had $459,760 of total unfunded commitments to three portfolio companies at September 30, 2018.
Distributions
We have elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to maintain our status as a RIC, we are required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our ICTI, as defined by the Code. Additionally, to avoid a 4% excise tax on undistributed earnings we are required to distribute each calendar year the sum of (i) 98% of our ordinary income for such calendar year (ii) 98.2% of our net capital gains for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year, and (iii) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which we paid no federal income tax. Maintenance of our RIC status also requires adherence to certain source of income and asset diversification requirements. Generally, a RIC is entitled to deduct dividends it pays to its stockholders from its income to determine “taxable income.” Taxable income includes our taxable interest, dividend and fee income, and taxable net capital gains. Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and

45


generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized. In addition, gains realized for financial reporting purposes may differ from gains included in taxable income as a result of our election to recognize gains using installment sale treatment, which generally results in the deferment of gains for tax purposes until notes or other amounts, including amounts held in escrow, received as consideration from the sale of investments are collected in cash. Taxable income includes non-cash income, such as changes in accrued and reinvested interest and dividends, which includes contractual PIK interest, and the amortization of discounts and fees. Cash collections of income resulting from contractual PIK interest and dividends or the amortization of discounts and fees generally occur upon the repayment of the loans or debt securities that include such items. Non-cash taxable income is reduced by non-cash expenses, such as realized losses and depreciation, and amortization expense.
We do not currently qualify as a “publicly offered regulated investment company,” as defined in the Code. Accordingly, stockholders will be taxed as though they received a distribution of some of the our expenses. A “publicly offered regulated investment company” is a RIC whose shares are either (i) continuously offered pursuant to a public offering, (ii) regularly traded on an established securities market, or (iii) held by at least 500 persons at all times during the taxable year. We anticipate that we will not qualify as a publicly offered RIC for the 2019 tax year, and we cannot determine when we will qualify as a publicly offered RIC. Since we are not a publicly offered RIC, a non-corporate stockholder’s allocable portion of our affected expenses, including a portion of our management fees, will be treated as an additional distribution to the stockholder. A non-corporate stockholder’s allocable portion of these expenses are treated as miscellaneous itemized deductions that are not currently deductible by such stockholders.
Our Board maintains a variable dividend policy with the objective of distributing four quarterly distributions in an amount not less than 90-100% of our taxable quarterly income or potential annual income for a particular year. In addition, at the end of the year, we may also pay an additional special dividend, or fifth dividend, such that we may distribute approximately all of our annual taxable income in the year it was earned, while maintaining the option to spill over our excess taxable income to a following year. Each year, a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the distribution is mailed to the Company’s stockholders.
Our distributions to date were, and our distributions may in the future, be funded through expense limitation payments by OFS Advisor under the Expense Support Agreement. The Expense Support Agreement is designed to ensure no portion of our distribution to stockholders will be paid from Offering proceeds, and provides for expense limitation payments to us in any quarterly period our cumulative distributions to stockholders exceeds the Company's cumulative ICTI and net realized gains. Any such distributions funded through expense limitation payments are not based on our investment performance, and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or OFS Advisor continues to make such payments. The Expense Support Agreement may be terminated by us or OFS Advisor, without payment of any penalty, upon written notice to us.
Share Repurchases
Subject to the discretion of our Board, we may commence tender offers to allow our stockholders to sell their shares back to us at a price equal to the most recently disclosed net asset value per share of our common stock immediately prior to the date of repurchase. Any such repurchases would be limited to approximately 10% of the weighted average number of our outstanding shares in any 12-month period.
On November 6, 2018, our Board, including a "required majority" (as such terms is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our board, approved a proposal to permit us to reduce the minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to us from 200% to 150%, as permitted by and pursuant to the SBCAA. Pursuant to the SBCAA, the asset coverage ratio test applicable to us will be decreased from 200% to 150%, effective November 6, 2019, provided the we extend to each of our stockholders as of November 6, 2018, an offer to repurchase the equity securities held by such stockholders as of November 6, 2018, with 25% of such equity securities to be repurchased in each of the four quarters following November 6, 2018.
On November 6, 2018, the Board approved an offer to repurchase the equity securities held by each of our stockholders as of November 6, 2018, with 25% of such equity securities to be repurchased in each of the four quarters following November 6, 2018. The repurchase offer allows our stockholders to sell their shares back to us at a price equal to the most recently disclosed net asset value per share of our common stock immediately prior to the date of repurchase.
Recent Developments
On October 29, 2018, the Board declared a distribution of $0.0875 per common share, payable on January 15, 2019, to stockholders of record on each of October 29, 2018, November 28, 2018, and December 27, 2018.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
We, OFS Advisor and OFS Services, 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 incidental to the normal course of our business, including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our future portfolio companies. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our future portfolio companies. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock may be speculative and involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our financial statements, and the related notes, schedules and exhibits, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in "Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and in "Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 (the "First Quarter 10-Q") and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 (the "Second Quarter 10-Q"), which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our First Quarter 10-Q, and our Second Quarter 10-Q are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Other than the risk described below there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in "Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and First Quarter 10-Q and Second Quarter 10-Q, which should be read together with the other risk factors and information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other reports filed with the SEC.
Because we have received the approval of our board of directors, we will be subject to 150% Asset Coverage beginning on November 6, 2019 provided that certain conditions are met.
The 1940 Act generally prohibits us from incurring indebtedness unless immediately after such borrowing we have an asset coverage for total borrowings of at least 200% (i.e., the amount of debt may not exceed 50% of the value of our assets). However, recent legislation has modified the 1940 Act by allowing a BDC to increase the maximum amount of leverage it may incur from an asset coverage ratio of 200% to an asset coverage ratio of 150%, if certain requirements are met. Under the legislation, we are allowed to increase our leverage capacity if stockholders representing at least a majority of the votes cast, when quorum is met, approve a proposal to do so. If we receive stockholder approval, we would be allowed to increase our leverage capacity on the first day after such approval. Alternatively, the legislation allows a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our directors to approve an increase in our leverage capacity, and such approval would become effective after one year from the date of approval. In either case, we would be required to make certain disclosures on our website and in SEC filings regarding, among other things, the receipt of approval to increase our leverage, our leverage capacity and usage, and risks related to leverage. In addition, because our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, if we receive approval to increase the maximum amount of leverage we may incur to an asset coverage ratio of 150% from an asset coverage ratio of 200%, then we must offer to repurchase all of our common stock held by stockholders as of the date of such approval.

On November 6, 2018 a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our board of directors approved the application of the reduced asset coverage ratio to us. As a result, provided we extend to each of our stockholders as of November 6, 2018, an offer to repurchase the equity securities held by such stockholders as of November 6, 2018, with 25% of such equity securities to be repurchased in each of the four quarters following November 6, 2018, we will be able to increase our leverage up to an amount that reduces our asset coverage ratio from 200% to 150% (i.e., the amount of debt may not exceed 66 2/3% of the value of our assets) beginning on November 6, 2019, assuming that additional borrowings are available.
Leverage magnifies the potential for loss on investments in our indebtedness and on invested equity capital. As we use leverage to partially finance our investments, you will experience increased risks of investing in our securities. If the value of our assets increases, then the additional leverage would cause the net asset value attributable to our common stock to increase

49



more sharply than it would have had we not increased our leverage. Conversely, if the value of our assets decreases, the additional leverage would cause net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not increased our leverage. Similarly, any increase in our income in excess of interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net investment income to increase more than it would without the additional leverage, while any decrease in our income would cause net investment income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not increased our leverage. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to pay common stock dividends, scheduled debt payments or other payments related to our securities. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique.
In addition, the ability of BDCs to increase their leverage will increase the capital available to BDCs and thus competition for the investments that we seek to make. This may negatively impact pricing on the investments that we do make and adversely affect our net investment income and results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three month period ended September 30, 2018, we sold 320,131 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $4,460,102, or a weighted average price of $13.93 per share, to investors who participated in the Offering and each of whom met the criteria of an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
The offer and sale of the Company’s common stock in the Offering was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of, and Rule 506 of Regulation D under, the Securities Act. We paid $140,350 in commissions in connection with the sale of the shares. OFS Advisor paid commissions of $133,890.
Because shares of our common stock have been acquired by investors in one or more transactions "not involving a public offering," they are "restricted securities" and may be required to be held indefinitely. Our common stock may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of unless: (i) the transferor provides OFS Advisor with at least 10 days written notice of the transfer; (ii) the transfer is made in accordance with applicable securities laws; and (iii) the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by these restrictions and the other restrictions imposed on the common stock and to execute such other instruments or certifications as are reasonably required by us. Accordingly, an investor must be willing to bear the economic risk of investment in the common stock until we are liquidated. No sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the common shares may be made except by registration of the transfer on our books.
