* As of June 30, 2020, loans with a cost basis of $31.6 million and a fair value of $16.0 million were classified as non-accrual. These loans have been accelerated from their original maturity and are due in their entirety. During the period for which these loans have been on non-accrual status, no interest income has been recognized.

** Indicates assets that the Fund deems “non-qualifying assets.” As of June 30, 2020, 11.2% of the Fund’s total assets represented non-qualifying assets. Under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act, the Fund is prohibited from acquiring any additional non-qualifying assets unless, at the time of acquisition, certain specified qualifying assets (e.g., securities issued by an “eligible portfolio company, ” as defined in Section 2(a)(46)) represent at least 70% of its total assets. As part of this calculation, the numerator consists of the value of the Fund’s investments in all eligible portfolio companies and the denominator consists of total assets less those assets described in Section 55(a)(7) of the 1940 Act.

^ Entity is not domiciled in the United States and does not have its principal place of business in the United States.

(a) The percentage of net assets that each industry group represents is shown with the industry totals (the sum of the percentages does not equal 100% because the percentages are based on net assets as opposed to total loans).

(b) The interest rate is the designated annual interest rate exclusive of any original issue discount, fees or end of term payment.

(c) The end of term payments are contractually due on the maturity date and are in addition to the interest rate shown. End of term payments are the percentage of the final payment divided by the original loan amount and are amortized over the full term of the loan.
As of June 30, 2020, all loans were made to non-affiliates.

* As of December 31, 2019, loans with a cost basis of $15.5 million and a fair value of $10.3 million were classified as non-accrual. These loans have been accelerated from their original maturity and are due in their entirety. During the period for which these loans have been on non-accrual status, no interest income has been recognized.

** Indicates assets that the Fund deems “non-qualifying assets.” As of December 31, 2019, 10.2% of the Fund’s total assets represented non-qualifying assets. Under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act, the Fund is prohibited from acquiring any additional non-qualifying assets unless, at the time of acquisition, certain specified qualifying assets (e.g., securities issued by an “eligible portfolio company,” as defined in Section 2(a)(46)) represent at least 70% of its total assets. As part of this calculation, the numerator consists of the value of the Fund’s investments in all eligible portfolio companies and the denominator consists of total assets less those assets described in Section 55(a)(7) of the 1940 Act.

^ Entity is not domiciled in the United States and does not have its principal place of business in the United States.

(a) The percentage of net assets that each industry group represents is shown with the industry totals (the sum of the percentages does not equal 100% because the percentages are based on net assets as opposed to total loans).

(b) The interest rate is the designated annual interest rate exclusive of any original issue discount, fees or end of term payment.

(c) The end of term payments are contractually due on the maturity date and are in addition to the interest rate shown. End of term payments are the percentage of the final payment divided by the original loan amount and are amortized over the full term of the loan.

As of December 31, 2019, all loans were made to non-affiliates.

VENTURE LENDING & LEASING VIII, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1.
ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS OF THE FUND
Venture Lending & Leasing VIII, Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on May 6, 2015 as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company electing status as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) and is managed by Westech Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Manager” or “Management”). The Fund will be dissolved on December 31, 2025 unless the Board of Directors (the “Board”) opts to elect early dissolution. One hundred percent of the stock of the Fund is held by Venture Lending & Leasing VIII, LLC (the “Company”). Prior to commencing its operations on August 12, 2015, the Fund had no operations other than the sale to the Company of 100,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value for $25,000 in July 2015. This issuance of stock was a requirement to apply for a finance lender’s license from the California Commissioner of Corporations, which was obtained on August 20, 2015.

The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve superior risk-adjusted investment returns and it seeks to achieve that objective by providing debt financing to portfolio companies, most of which are private. The Fund generally receives warrants to acquire equity securities in connection with its portfolio investments and generally distributes these warrants to its shareholder upon receipt, or soon thereafter. The Fund also has guidelines for the percentages of total assets that are invested in different types of assets.

The portfolio investments of the Fund primarily consist of debt financing to early and expansion stage venture capital-backed technology companies.  
  
In the Manager’s opinion, the accompanying condensed interim financial statements (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted; however, the Fund believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of what the results would be for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As an investment company, the Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance as set forth in Topic 946 (“Financial Services – Investment Companies”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification, as amended (“ASC”). Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

25



Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and money market mutual funds with maturities of 90 days or less. Money market mutual funds held as cash equivalents are valued at their most recently traded net asset value. Within cash and cash equivalents, as of June 30, 2020, the Fund held 2,074,420 units in the Blackrock Treasury Trust Institutional Fund valued at $1 per unit at a yield of 0.11% and $430,101 in cash, both together represented 1.26% of the net assets of the Fund. Within cash and cash equivalents, as of December 31, 2019, the Fund held 12,569,629 units in the Blackrock Treasury Trust Institutional Fund valued at $1 per unit at a yield of 1.60%, which represented 6.08% of the net assets of the Fund.
Interest Income
Interest income on loans is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest method including amounts resulting from the amortization of equity securities included as additional compensation as part of the loan agreements. Additionally, fees received as part of the transaction are added to the loan discount and amortized over the life of the loan.

Realized Gains and Losses from loans
Realized gains and losses on the sale of loans are computed using the difference between the amortized cost and the sales proceeds. Realized losses on loan write-offs are recognized when management determines a loan is uncollectible.

Investment Valuation

The Fund accounts for loans at fair value in accordance with the valuation methods below. All valuations are determined under the direction of the Manager, in accordance with the valuation methods.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the financial statements included nonmarketable investments of $348.3 million and $372.0 million, respectively, (or 97.9% and 95.4% of the total assets, respectively), with the fair values determined by the Manager in the absence of readily determinable market values. Because of the inherent uncertainty of these valuations, estimated fair values of such investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material. Below is the information used by the Manager in making these estimates.

Loans

The Fund defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to lower a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Because there is no readily available market price and no secondary market for substantially all of the debt investments made by the Fund into borrowing portfolio companies, Management determines fair value based on hypothetical markets, and on several factors related to each borrower, including, but not limited to, the borrowers payment history, available cash and “burn rate,” revenues, net income or loss, the likelihood that the borrower will be able to secure additional financing in the future, and an evaluation of the general interest rate environment. The amount of any valuation adjustment considers the estimated amount and timing of cash payments of principal and interest from the borrower and/or liquidation analysis and is determined based upon a credit analysis of the borrower and an analysis of the expected recovery from the borrower, including consideration of factors such as the nature and quality of the Funds security interests in collateral, the estimated value of the Funds collateral, the size of the loan, and the estimated time that will elapse before the Fund achieves a recovery. Management has evaluated these factors and has concluded that, the effect of deterioration in the quality of the underlying collateral, increase in size of the loan, increase in the estimated time to recovery and increase in the hypothetical market coupon rate would have the effect of lowering the value of the current portfolio of loans.


26



Non-Accrual Loans

The Funds policy is to classify a loan as non-accrual when the portfolio company is delinquent for three consecutive months on its monthly loan payment, or, in the opinion of Management, either ceases or drastically curtails its operations and Management deems that it is unlikely that the loan will return to performing status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed for the quarter in which the loan was placed on non-accrual status. Any uncollected interest related to quarters prior to when the loan was placed on non-accrual status is added to the principal balance, and the aggregate balance of the principal and interest is evaluated in accordance with the policy for valuation of loans in determining Management’s best estimate of fair value. Interest received by the Fund on non-accrual loans will be recognized as interest income if and when the proceeds exceed the book value of the respective loan.
If a borrower of a non-accrual loan resumes making regular payments and Management believes that such borrower has regained the ability to service the loan on a sustainable basis, the loan is reclassified back to accrual or performing status. Interest that would have been accrued during the time a loan was classified as non-accrual will be added back to the remaining payment schedule causing a change in the effective interest rate.
As of June 30, 2020, loans with a cost basis of $31.6 million and a fair value of $16.0 million were classified as non-accrual. As of December 31, 2019, loans with a cost basis of $15.5 million and a fair value of $10.3 million were classified as non-accrual.

Warrants and Equity Securities

Warrants and equity securities received in connection with loan transactions are measured at a fair value at the time of acquisition. Warrants are valued based on a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model which considers, among several factors, the underlying stock value, expected term, volatility, and risk-free interest rate. It is anticipated that such securities will be distributed by the Fund to the Company simultaneously with, or shortly following, their acquisition.

The underlying asset value is estimated based on information available, including information regarding recent rounds of funding of the portfolio company, or the publicly-quoted stock price at the end of the financial reporting period for warrants for comparable publicly-quoted securities.

Volatility, or the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of the changes in the warrant price, is based on an index of publicly traded companies grouped by industry and which are similar in nature to the underlying portfolio companies issuing the warrant (“Industry Index”). The volatility assumption for each Industry Index is based on the average volatility for individual public companies within the portfolio company’s industry for a period of time approximating the expected life of the warrants. A hypothetical increase in the volatility of the warrants used in the modified Black-Scholes option pricing model would have the effect of increasing the value of the warrants.

The remaining expected lives of warrants are based on historical experience of the average life of the warrants, as warrants are often exercised in the event of acquisitions, mergers, or initial public offerings, and terminated due to events such as bankruptcies, restructuring activities, or additional financings. These events cause the expected term to be less than the remaining contractual term of the warrants. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Fund assumed the average duration of a warrant was 4.0 years. The effect of a hypothetical increase in the estimated initial term of the warrants used in the modified Black-Scholes option pricing model would have the effect of increasing the value of the warrants. However, the estimated initial term of the warrants is one factor, of many, used in the valuation of warrants, and by itself does not have a significant impact on the result of operations.

The risk-free interest rate is derived from the constant maturity tables issued by the U.S. Treasury Department. The effect of a hypothetical increase in the estimated risk-free rate used in the modified Black-Scholes option pricing model would have the effect of increasing the value of the warrants.

27




The Fund engages an independent valuation company to provide valuation assistance with respect to the warrants received as part of loan consideration, including an evaluation of the Fund’s valuation methodology and the reasonableness of the assumptions used from the perspective of a market participant. The independent valuation company also calculates several of the inputs used, such as volatility and risk-free rate.
Other Assets and Liabilities
Other assets include costs incurred in conjunction with borrowings under the Funds debt facility and are stated at initial cost. These costs are amortized over the term of the facility.
The fair values of Other assets and accrued liabilities are estimated at their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.
The carrying values of the borrowings under the debt facility approximates their fair value based on the borrowing rates available to the Fund.
Commitment Fees
Unearned income and commitment fees on loans are recognized using the effective-interest method over the term of the loan. Commitment fees are carried as liabilities when received for commitments upon which no draws have been made. When the first draw is made, the fee is treated as unearned income and is recognized as described above. If a draw is never made, the forfeited commitment fee less any applicable legal costs becomes recognized as other income after the commitment expires.

Deferred Bank Fees

The deferred bank fees and costs associated with the debt facility are included in other assets in the Condensed Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized over the estimated life of the facility, which currently matures on September 11, 2020. The amortization of these costs is recorded as interest expense in the Condensed Statements of Operations.

Derivative Instruments

The Fund uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on expected borrowings under its debt facility, as the Fund originates fixed rate loans (see Note 8).

Derivative instruments are primarily valued on the basis of quotes obtained from banks, brokers and dealers and adjusted for counterparty risk and the optionality of the interest rate floor. The valuation of the derivative instruments also considers the future expected interest rates on the notional principal balance remaining which is comparable to what a prospective acquirer would pay on the measurement date. Valuation pricing models consider inputs such as forward rates, anticipated interest rate volatility relating to the reference rate, as well as time value and other factors underlying derivative instruments.

The Fund is a party to a master netting arrangement with MUFG Union Bank, N.A., however, the Fund has elected not to offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. A transaction is recorded at gross fair value in either derivative asset or derivative liability in the Condensed Statements of Assets and Liabilities, depending on whether the value of the transaction is in favor of the Fund or the counterparty. The changes in fair value are recorded in net change in unrealized gain (loss) from derivative instruments in the Condensed Statements of Operations and the quarterly interest received or paid on the derivative instruments, if any, is recorded in net realized gain (loss) from derivative instruments in the Condensed Statements of Operations.

28




The interest rate swap and floor and the interest rate collar transactions are contractually scheduled to terminate on September 11, 2020.

The Fund utilized the cancellation option to terminate the cancellable interest rate swap early effective March 31, 2020.
3. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
The Fund provides asset-based financing primarily to start-up and emerging growth venture-backed companies pursuant to commitments whereby the Fund agrees to finance assets and provide working or growth capital up to a specified amount for the term of the commitment, upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified by such commitment. Even though these loans are generally secured by the assets of the borrowers, the Fund in most cases is subject to the credit risk of such companies. As of June 30, 2020, the Funds investments in loans were primarily to companies based within the United States and were diversified among borrowers in the industry segments shown in the Condensed Schedules of Investments. All loans are senior to unsecured creditors and other secured creditors, unless as indicated in the Condensed Schedules of Investments.

The Fund defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; that is, an exit price. The exit price assumes the asset or liability was exchanged in an orderly transaction; it was not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Because there is no readily available market price and no secondary market for substantially all of the debt investments made by the Fund to borrowing portfolio companies, Management determines fair value (or estimated exit value) based on a hypothetical market, and several factors related to each borrower.

Loan balances in the Condensed Schedules of Investments are listed by borrower. Typically, a borrowers balance will be composed of several loans drawn under a commitment made by the Fund with the interest rate on each loan fixed at the time each loan is funded. Each loan drawn under a commitment has a different maturity date and amount.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the weighted-average interest rate on performing loans was 15.61%, which was inclusive of both cash and non-cash interest income. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 the weighted-average interest rate on the cash portion of the interest income was 12.66%. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the weighted-average interest rate on performing loans was 21.74%, which was inclusive of both cash and non-cash interest income. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the weighted-average interest rate on the cash portion of the interest income was 17.70%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the weighted-average interest rate on performing loans was 16.70%, which was inclusive of both cash and non-cash interest income. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the weighted-average interest rate on the cash portion of the interest income was 13.52%. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the weighted-average interest rate on performing loans was 18.74%, which was inclusive of both cash and non-cash interest income.

Interest is calculated using the effective interest method, and rates earned by the Fund will fluctuate based on many factors including early payoffs, volatility of values ascribed to warrants and new loans funded during the period.
    
The risk profile of a loan changes when events occur that impact the credit analysis of the borrower and loan as discussed in the Funds loan accounting policy. Such changes result in the fair value adjustments made to the individual loans, which in accordance with U.S. GAAP, would be based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where the risk profile is consistent with the original underwriting, which is primarily the case for this loan portfolio, the cost basis of the loan often approximates fair value.

All loans as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were pledged as collateral for the debt facility, and the Funds borrowings are generally collateralized by all assets of the Fund. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Fund had unexpired unfunded commitments to borrowers of $66.5 million and $78.0 million, respectively.
Valuation Hierarchy
Under the FASB ASC Topic 820 (“Fair Value Measurement”), the Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Fund’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
    
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1
 
Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2
 
Prices or valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 3
 
Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Transfers of investments between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recorded on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers in and out of Level 1, 2, or 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

The Fund’s cash equivalents were valued at the traded net asset value of the money market fund. As a result, these measurements are classified as Level 1. The Fund’s derivative instruments are based on quotes from the market makers that derive fair values from market data, and therefore, are classified as Level 2. The Fund’s borrowings under the debt facility are also classified as Level 2, because the carrying values of the borrowings were based on rates that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, which are Level 2 inputs, and that approximate fair values. The Fund’s loan transactions are individually negotiated and unique, and because there is little to no market in which these assets trade, the inputs for these assets, which are valued using estimated exit values, are classified as Level 3.  

The following tables provide quantitative information about the Fund’s Level 3 fair value measurements of the Fund’s investments by industry as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the tables below, the Fund may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining its fair value measurements.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted-average common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effects of potential common shares (e.g. stock options). The Fund has no instruments that would be potential common shares; thus, reported basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same.
5.
CAPITAL STOCK
As of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized, and 100,000 shares issued and outstanding. Total committed capital of the Company, as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, was $423.6 million. Total contributed capital to the Company through June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $415.2 million and $372.8 million, of which $345.1 million and $314.6 million was contributed to the Fund, respectively.

6.  DEBT FACILITY
On April 5, 2016, the Fund established a secured, syndicated revolving loan facility in an initial amount up to $150.0 million (the “Loan Agreement”) led by Wells Fargo, N.A. and MUFG Union Bank, N.A. On September 11, 2017, the Loan Agreement was amended (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) and the borrowing availability thereunder increased the size of the facility to $280.0 million. An additional $75.0 million is potentially available to the Fund, subject to further negotiation and credit approval, through an accordion provision contained in the Amended Loan Agreement. Effective May 6, 2020, Management elected to reduce the facility size from $280.0 million to $240.0 million.

All of the assets of the Fund collateralize borrowings by the Fund. Loans under the facility may be, at the option of the Fund, a Reference Rate Loan, a LIBOR Loan or a LIBOR Market Index Rate Loan. As of June 30, 2020, the Fund’s outstanding borrowings were entirely based on the LIBOR rate. The facility terminates on September 11, 2020, but can be accelerated in the event of default, such as failure by the Fund to make timely interest or principal payments.

Borrowings under the facility are collateralized by receivables from loans to portfolio companies advanced by the Fund with assignment of such receivables to the financial institution, plus all of the other assets of the Fund. The Fund pays interest on its borrowings and a fee on the unused portion of the facility. Under the Amended Loan Agreement, interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at, pursuant to the election of the Fund, an annual rate of either (i) Reference Rate plus 1.75%, (ii) LIBOR plus 2.75% or (iii) LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 2.75%. When the Fund is using 50% or more of the maximum amount available under the Amended Loan Agreement, the applicable commitment fee is 0.25% of the unused portion of the loan facility; otherwise, the applicable commitment fee is 0.50% of the unused portion. The Fund pays the unused credit line fee quarterly. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $153.0 million and $179.0 million were outstanding under the facility, respectively.
    
As of June 30, 2020, the LIBOR rate was as follows:
                
1-Month LIBOR
0.1623%
3-Month LIBOR
0.3020%

Bank fees and other costs of $2.2 million incurred in connection with the acquisition of the facility have been capitalized and are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the facility. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there are remaining unamortized fees and costs of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The remaining unamortized fees and costs are amortized over the expected life of the facility, which is expected to terminate on September 11, 2020.


37



The facility is revolving and as such does not have a specified repayment schedule, although advances are secured by the assets of the Fund and thus repayments will be required as assets decline. The facility contains various covenants including financial covenants related to: (i) minimum debt service coverage ratio, (ii) interest coverage ratio, (iii) maximum loan loss reserves and (iv) unfunded commitment ratio. There are also various restrictive covenants, including limitations on: (i) the incurrence of liens, (ii) consolidations, mergers and asset sales and (iii) capital expenditures. As of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Management is not aware of instances of non-compliance with financial covenants.
    
The following is the summary of the outstanding facility draws as of June 30, 2020:

7. MANAGEMENT FEE
As compensation for its services to the Fund, for the two-year period that commenced with the first capital closing, which took place on August 8, 2015, the Manager received a management fee (“Management Fee”) computed and paid at the end of each quarter at an annual rate of 2.5% of the Company’s committed equity capital (regardless of when or if the capital was called) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. Following this two-year period, starting on August 12, 2017, Management Fees are calculated and paid at the end of each quarter at an annual rate of 2.5% of the Fund’s total assets (including amounts derived from borrowed funds) as of the last day of each quarter. Management Fees of $2.2 million and $2.4 million were recognized as expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Management Fees of $4.6 million and $4.9 million were recognized as expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Fund uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on expected borrowings under its debt facility, as the Fund originates fixed rate loans.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

On April 12, 2018, the Fund entered into an interest rate swap agreement with MUFG Union Bank, N.A. to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in interest rates on its expected borrowings under its debt facilities which do not match the fixed rate loans it originates. The initial swap transaction under this agreement was a cancellable interest rate swap with a notional amount of $102.0 million. On March 27, 2020, Management elected to exercise the option to cancel this swap effective March 31, 2020.

On June 14, 2019, the Fund entered into an interest rate swap and floor transaction with MUFG Union Bank, N.A. The addition of the floor further helps to align the swap with the terms of the variable rate index of the debt facility.

As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had one interest rate swap transaction with an aggregate notional principal amount of $90.0 million. The Fund pays a fixed rate of 2.005% and receives from the counterparty a floating rate based upon a 1-Month LIBOR rate. Payments are made monthly. The payments and the interest rate swap transaction are expected to terminate on September 11, 2020. Payments to or from the counterparty are recorded to net realized gain (loss) from derivative instruments.

Interest Rate Collar
On April 6, 2020, the Fund entered into an interest rate collar transaction with MUFG Union Bank, N.A. As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate notional principal amount of the interest rate collar is $30.0 million, with a cap of 1.000% and floor of 0.485% on floating rate based upon a 1-month LIBOR rate. The interest rate collar mitigates the Fund’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations on variable rate index of the debt facility. The collar establishes a range where the Fund pays the counterparty if the 1-Month LIBOR rate falls below the established floor rate, and the counterparty will pay the Fund if the 1-Month LIBOR rate exceeds the established cap rate. The interest rate collar settles monthly and payments to or from the counterparty are recorded to net realized gain (loss) from derivative instruments. The interest rate collar transaction is expected to terminate on September 11, 2020.

The Fund may adjust the total amount hedged in order to remain in compliance with the hedging requirements of the Fund’s debt facility.

9. TAX STATUS
The Fund has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and operates in a manner to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. Failing to maintain at least 70% of total assets in “qualifying assets” will result in the loss of BDC status, resulting in losing its favorable tax treatment as a RIC. As of June 30, 2020, the Fund has met the BDC and RIC requirements. The Fund elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code with the filing of its federal corporate income tax return for 2016.

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, the Fund is required to distribute annually to its shareholder at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid federal excise taxes, the Fund must distribute annually at least 98% of its ordinary income and 98.2% of net capital gains from the current year and any undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from the preceding years. The Fund, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. If the Fund chooses to do so, all other things being equal, this would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to its shareholder. The Fund will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required.

Below are tables summarizing the cost for federal income tax purposes and the appreciation and depreciation of the investments reported on the Condensed Schedules of Investments and Condensed Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in-capital or accumulated net realized gain (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax treatment of certain loans and the tax characterization of income and non-deductible expenses. These differences are generally determined in conjunction with the preparation of the Fund’s annual RIC tax return.

Book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified among the Fund’s capital accounts. In addition, the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from U.S. GAAP. The determination of the tax attributes of the Fund’s distributions is made annually as of the end of the Fund’s taxable year generally based upon its taxable income for the full taxable year and distributions paid for the full taxable year. As a result, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of the Fund’s distributions for a full taxable year. As of June 30, 2020 the Fund had determined the tax attributes of its distributions taxable year-to-date to be from its current and accumulated earnings and profits.  There is not yet, however, certainty as to what the actual tax attributes of the Fund’s distributions to the shareholders will be by the year-ended December 31, 2020.

The Fund anticipates distributing all distributable earnings by the end of the year. Through June 30, 2020, the Fund had no undistributed earnings. The Fund may pay distributions in excess of its taxable net investment income. This excess would be a tax-free return of capital in the period and reduce the shareholder’s tax basis in its shares.

The Fund’s tax returns remain open for examination by the federal government for a period of three years and California tax authorities for a period of four years from when they are filed. As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions and no capital loss carryforwards.
10. UNEXPIRED UNFUNDED COMMITMENTS
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Fund’s unexpired unfunded commitments to borrowers totaled $66.5 million and $78.0 million, respectively. Because venture loans are privately negotiated transactions, investments in these assets are relatively illiquid. It is the Manager’s experience that not all unexpired unfunded commitments will be used by the borrowers. Many credit agreements contain provisions which are milestone dependent and not all borrowers will achieve these milestones. Additionally, the Fund’s credit agreements contain provisions that give relief from funding obligations in the event the borrower has a material adverse change to its financial condition. Therefore, the unexpired unfunded commitments do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements or future investments for the Fund.

The tables below are the Fund’s unexpired unfunded commitments as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

11. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of financial highlights of the Fund for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

The total rate of return is defined as the return based on the change in value during the period of a theoretical investment made at the beginning of the period. The total rate of return assumes a constant rate of return for the Fund during the period reported and weights each cash flow by the amount of time held in the Fund. This required methodology differs from an internal rate of return.

The ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets, calculated below, are annualized and are computed based upon the aggregate weighted-average net assets of the Fund for the periods presented. Net investment income is inclusive of all investment income, net of expenses and excludes realized or unrealized gains and losses.

Beginning and ending net asset values per share are based on the beginning and ending number of shares outstanding. Other per share information is calculated based upon the aggregate weighted average net assets of the Fund for the periods presented.
    
The following per share data and ratios have been derived from the information provided in the financial statements:

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 6, 2020, Management elected to reduce the size of the debt facility size from $240.0 million to $200.0 million. The Fund evaluated additional subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and determined that no additional subsequent events had occurred that would require accrual or disclosure in the financial statements.

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

In addition to the historical information contained herein, the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the securities laws. These forward-looking statements reflect the current view of the Fund with respect to future events and financial performance and are subject to several risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Fund’s control. All statements, other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report, regarding the strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of the Fund are forward-looking statements. For example, statements in this Form 10-Q regarding the potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Fund’s business and results of operations are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. The Fund does not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether resulting from new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

The reader of this Quarterly Report should understand that all such forward-looking statements are subject to various uncertainties and risks that could affect their outcome. The Fund’s actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, variances in the actual versus projected growth in assets, return on assets, loan losses, expenses, rates charged on loans and earned on securities investments, competition and macro-economic changes including inflation, interest rate expectations, among other factors including those set forth in the section of this Quarterly Report titled “Risk Factors” and in Item 1A - “Risk Factors” in the Fund’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This entire Quarterly Report should be read to put such forward-looking statements in context and to gain a more complete understanding of the uncertainties and risks involved in the Fund’s business.

Overview

The Fund is 100% owned by the Company. The Fund’s shares of common stock, at $0.001 par value, were sold to its sole shareholder, the Company, under a stock purchase agreement. The Fund has issued 100,000 of the Fund’s 10,000,000 authorized shares. The Company may make additional capital contributions to the Fund.

The Fund provides financing and advisory services to a variety of carefully selected venture-backed companies that have received equity funding from traditional sources of venture capital equity funding (i.e. a professionally managed venture capital firm), as well as non-traditional sources of venture capital equity funding (e.g. angel investors, strategic investors, family offices, crowdfunding investment platforms, etc.) (collectively, “Venture-Backed Companies”), primarily throughout the United States with a focus on growth-oriented companies. The Fund’s portfolio consists of companies in the communications, information services, media, technology (including software and technology-enabled business services), biotechnology, and medical devices industry sectors, among others. The Fund’s capital is generally used by its portfolio companies to finance acquisitions of fixed assets and working capital. On August 31, 2015, the Company completed its first closing of capital contributions. On September 1, 2015, the Fund made its first investment and became a non-diversified, closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. While the Fund intends to operate as a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of Section 5(b)(2) of the 1940 Act, from time to time the Fund may act as a diversified investment company within the meaning of Section 5(b)(1) of the 1940 Act.

The Fund elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code with the filing of its federal corporate income tax return for 2016. Pursuant to this election, the Fund generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income distributed to its shareholder as dividends, allowing the Company to substantially reduce or eliminate its corporate-level tax liability.

The Fund will seek to meet the ongoing requirements, including the diversification requirements, to qualify as a RIC under the Code. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements, it will be taxed as an ordinary corporation on
its taxable income for that year (even if that income is distributed to the Company) and all distributions out of its earnings and profits will be taxable to the members of the Company as ordinary income; thus, such income will be subject to a double layer of tax. There is no assurance that the Fund will meet the ongoing requirements to qualify as a RIC for tax purposes.

The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve superior risk-adjusted investment returns and it seeks to achieve that objective by providing debt financing to portfolio companies, most of which are private. The Fund generally receives warrants to acquire equity securities in connection with its portfolio investments and generally distributes these warrants to its shareholder upon receipt, or soon thereafter. The Fund also has guidelines for the percentages of total assets that are invested in different types of assets.
    
The portfolio investments of the Fund primarily consist of debt financing to Venture-Backed Companies in the technology sector. The borrower’s ability to repay its loans may be adversely impacted by several factors, and as a result, the loan may not be fully repaid. Furthermore, the Fund’s security interest in any collateral over the borrower’s assets may be insufficient to make up any shortfall in payments.

Transactions with Venture Lending & Leasing VII, Inc. (“Fund VII”) 

The Manager also serves as investment manager for Fund VII. The Fund’s Board of Directors determined that so long as Fund VII had capital available to invest in loan transactions with final maturities earlier than December 31, 2022 (the date on which Fund VII will be dissolved), the Fund would invest in each portfolio company in which Fund VII invested (“Investments”). Generally, the amount of each Investment was allocated 50% to the Fund and 50% to Fund VII, or such other allocations as were determined by the respective fund boards, so long as the Fund had capital available to invest. Effective June 30, 2017, Fund VII was no longer permitted to enter new commitments to borrowers; however, Fund VII was permitted to fund existing commitments, in which the Fund might also be invested. Fund VII’s last commitment expired on July 31, 2018. The ability of the Fund to co-invest with Fund VII, and other clients advised by the Manager, is subject to the conditions (“Conditions”) with which the Funds are currently complying while seeking certain exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from the provisions of Sections 17(d) and 57 of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder. To the extent that clients, other than Fund VII, advised by the Manager (but in which the Manager has no proprietary interest) invest in opportunities available to the Fund, the Manager will allocate such opportunities among the Fund and such other clients in a manner deemed fair and equitable considering all of the circumstances in accordance with the Conditions.

Transactions with Venture Lending & Leasing IX, Inc. (“Fund IX”)

The Manager also serves as manager for Fund IX. The Fund’s Board of Directors determined that so long as Fund IX has capital available to invest in loan transactions with final maturities earlier than December 31, 2028 (the date on which Fund IX will be dissolved), the Fund may invest in each portfolio company in which Fund IX invests (“Investments”). Generally, the amount of each investment will be allocated 50% to the Fund and 50% to Fund IX, or such other allocations as may be determined by the respective fund boards, so long as the Fund has capital available to invest. The ability of the Fund to co-invest with Fund IX, and other clients advised by the Manager, is subject to the Conditions described above. Effective March 31, 2020, the Fund is no longer permitted to enter new commitments to borrowers; however the Fund is permitted to fund existing commitments through March 31, 2021. To the extent that clients, other than Fund IX, advised by the Manager (but in which the Manager has no proprietary interest) invest in opportunities available to the Fund, the Manager will allocate such opportunities among the Fund and such other clients in a manner deemed fair and equitable considering all of the circumstances in accordance with the Conditions.

Critical Accounting Policies, Practices and Estimates

Critical Accounting Policies and Practices are those accounting policies and practices that are both the most important to the portrayal of the Fund’s net assets and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Critical accounting estimates are accounting estimates where the nature of the estimates is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and the impact of the estimates on net assets or operating performance is material.

In evaluating the most critical accounting policies and estimates, the Manager has identified the estimation of fair value of the Fund’s loan investments as the most critical of the accounting policies and accounting estimates applied to the Fund’s reporting of net assets or operating performance. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Fund defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; that is, an exit price. The exit price assumes the asset or liability was exchanged in an orderly transaction; it was not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. There is no readily available market price or secondary market for the loans made by the Fund to borrowers, hence the Manager determines fair value based on a hypothetical market and the estimates are subject to high levels of judgment and uncertainty. The Fund’s loan investments are considered Level 3 fair value measurements in the fair value hierarchy due to the lack of observability over many of the important inputs used in determining fair value.

Critical judgments and inputs in determining the fair value of a loan include the estimated timing and amount of future cash flows and probability of future payments, based on the assessment of payment history, available cash and “burn rate,” revenues, net income or loss, operating results, financial strength of borrower, prospects for the borrower’s raising future equity rounds, likelihood of sale or acquisition of the borrower, length of expected holding period of the loan, collateral position, the timing and amount of liquidation of collateral for loans that are experiencing significant credit deterioration and, as a result, collection becomes collateral-dependent, as well as an evaluation of the general interest rate environment. Management has evaluated these factors and has concluded that the effect of a deterioration in the quality of the underlying collateral, increase in the size of the loan, increase in the estimated time to recovery, and increase in the hypothetical market coupon rate would have the effect of decreasing the fair value of loan investments. The risk profile of a loan changes when events occur that impact the credit analysis of the borrower and the loan. Such changes result in the fair value being adjusted from par value of the individual loan. Where the risk profile is consistent with the original underwriting, the par value of the loan often approximates fair value.

The actual value of the loans may differ from Management’s estimates, which would affect net change in net assets resulting from operations as well as assets.

Recent Development

Due to the recent outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), the Fund may be directly and indirectly affected by the increased financial market volatility and disruption of the global economy. Among other things, the aforementioned events could impair the ability of borrowers to make scheduled payments, result in loss of revenue, or cause the Fund to incur additional expenses.

While the COVID-19 pandemic did not materially affect the Fund’s business and results of operations in the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020, these are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The slowdown of the global and local economies has had an impact on a number of the Fund’s borrowers’ businesses and operations, causing an increase in debt investments that are moved from performing to non-performing status. In the short-term, valuation of some of the Fund’s debt investments resulted in unrealized gain from loans in the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020, as many of the Fund’s debt portfolio companies proactively reduced expenses, restructured their revenue programs, and amended their performance plans to manage their capital and liquidity requirements. These efforts partially offset the continued financial market volatility that also factored into the Fund’s loan valuation adjustment.

47



Given the uncertainty of the COVID-19 situation, the full extent of the long-term economic impact on the Fund’s business operations, result of operations, and access to liquidity and capital resources is unpredictable at this time and will depend on many factors outside of the Fund’s control, including, without limitations, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic.
The Fund is maintaining close communications with its debt portfolio companies to proactively assess and manage potential risks. Management has increased oversight analysis of credits across the Fund's debt investment portfolio in an attempt to manage the potential credit risk and improve loan performance. As part of its risk management strategy, Management is tracking mitigating factors and their effectiveness in improving credit performance. For example, Management is taking into consideration the borrowers’ participation to the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). PPP was created as a part of the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which provides assistance to small businesses to maintain their payroll, hire back employees who may have been laid off, and cover applicable overhead expenses.
Management is also monitoring the Fund's continued access to capital resources through periodic communications with the bank syndicate and the Company’s members. As of June 30, 2020, there are no indications that the bank syndicate will fail to renew the Fund’s debt facility or that any of the Company’s members will be unable to meet their capital obligations to the Company.
In addition, the Fund is taking proactive steps to ensure and maintain an appropriate liquidity position based on the current circumstances. The Fund believes its existing cash balance and access to capital from its debt facility and the Company’s members will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital needs, debt repayments, and other liquidity requirements associated with its existing operations.

Results of Operations - For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

Total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $13.4 million and $20.6 million, respectively, which primarily consisted of interest on the venture loans outstanding. The remaining income consisted of interest and dividends on the temporary investment of cash, and other income from commitment fees and warrants. The average outstanding balance of performing loans calculated using the month-end balances was $341.1 million and $376.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on performing loans was 15.61% and 21.74% for the same periods, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on all loans was 14.99% and 21.09% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest is calculated using the effective interest method, and rates earned by the Fund will fluctuate based on many factors including early payoffs, volatility of values ascribed to warrants, and new loans funded during the year. The decrease in investment income and weighted-average interest rate was primarily due to fewer early payoffs of loans in the portfolio and fewer new loans to offset the loans being paid down during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Total investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $29.6 million and $36.2 million, respectively, which primarily consisted of interest on the venture loans outstanding. The remaining income consisted of interest and dividends on the temporary investment of cash, and other income from commitment fees and warrants. The average outstanding balance of performing loans calculated using the month-end balances was $347.2 million and $383.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on performing loans was 16.70% and 18.74% for the same periods, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on all loans was 16.14% and 18.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest is calculated using the effective interest method, and rates earned by the Fund will fluctuate based on many factors including early payoffs, volatility of values ascribed to warrants, and new loans funded during the year. The decrease in investment income and weighted-average interest rate was primarily due to fewer early payoffs of loans in the portfolio and fewer new loans to offset the loans being paid down during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Management fees were $2.2 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Management fees were $4.6 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Management fees were calculated as 2.5% of the Fund’s total assets and the decrease was due to a decline in the Fund’s total assets due primarily to a decline in cash on hand as a result of no significant loan fundings scheduled immediately after the quarter end, and a decline in new loan fundings with the expiration of the commitment period in the previous quarter.

Interest expense was $1.5 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest expense was comprised of amounts related to interest on debt amounts drawn down, unused credit line fees and amounts amortized from deferred fees incurred in conjunction with the loan facility. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decline in the average outstanding debt from $179.5 million in 2019 to $161.8 million in 2020 and a decline in weighted-average interest rates from 5.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to 3.83% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest expense was $3.6 million and $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decline in the average outstanding debt from $186.6 million in 2019 to $168.9 million in 2020 and a decline in weighted-average interest rates from 5.77% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 4.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Banking and professional fees were $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Banking and professional fees were $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The banking and professional fees were comprised of legal, audit, banking and other professional fees. Banking and professional fees decreased primarily due to the decrease in legal and audit fees.

Other operating expenses were less than $0.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Other operating expenses were less than $0.1 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. These expenses included director fees, custody fees, tax fees and other expenses related to the operations of the Fund.

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $9.4 million and $15.4 million, respectively. Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $21.1 million and $25.4 million, respectively.

Net realized loss from loans was $0.5 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net realized loss from loans was $1.0 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The primary reason for the losses was non-accrual loan write-offs.
 
Net realized gain (loss) from derivative instruments was $(0.3) million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net realized gain (loss) from derivative instruments was $(0.6) million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net realized loss from derivative instruments for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due to interest payments paid on the interest rate swap and collar as the floating rate dropped below the fixed rate of the swap and the one-month LIBOR rate is below the floor of the collar. The net realized gain from derivative instruments for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was from interest payments received from the interest rate swap as the floating rate rose above the fixed rate of the swap.

Net change in unrealized gain (loss) from loans was $0.6 million and $(2.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net change in unrealized gain (loss) from loans was $(13.2) million and $(2.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net change in unrealized loss from loans consisted of fair value adjustments taken against loans as a result of an improvement or deterioration in certain portfolio companiesperformance as well as reversal of prior adjustments on realized loan losses.

Net change in unrealized gain (loss) from derivative instruments was $0.3 million and $(0.7) million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Net change in unrealized gain (loss) from derivative instruments was less than ($0.1) million and $(1.0) million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The net change in

49



unrealized loss from derivative instruments consisted of fair market value adjustments to the interest rate swap and collar. The increase in the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the realization of the prior value of the position.

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $9.4 million and $12.0 million, respectively. On a per share basis, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $94.36 and $120.36, respectively.

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $6.3 million and $21.5 million, respectively. On a per share basis, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $63.20 and $214.75, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources – June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019

The Fund is owned entirely by the Company. The Company is expected, but not required, to make further contributions to the capital of the Fund to the extent of the Company’s members’ capital commitment to the Company and excess cash balances of the Company. Total capital contributed to the Fund was $345.1 million and $314.6 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had subscriptions for capital in the amount of $423.6 million, of which $415.2 million and $372.8 million had been called, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, $8.5 million of capital remains uncalled and the uncalled capital expires on August 20, 2020, the Fund’s fifth anniversary of its first investment unless extended. The Manager has exercised, and the Board of Directors ratified, its discretion to extend the Investment Period by two calendar quarters, causing the date for which the full amount of the remaining uncalled capital can be drawn to be extended to March 31, 2021. The Company has made $149.6 million in recallable distributions to its investors, as permitted under its operating agreement between the Company’s managing member and members of the Company.

The change in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was as follows:

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 1.26% and 6.08%, respectively, of the Fund’s net assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.

On April 5, 2016, the Fund established a secured, syndicated revolving loan facility in an initial amount of up to $150.0 million (the “Loan Agreement”) led by Wells Fargo, N.A. and MUFG Union Bank, N.A. On September 11, 2017, the Loan Agreement was amended (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) and the borrowing availability thereunder increased the size of the facility to $280.0 million. Effective May 6, 2020, Management elected to reduce the facility size from $280.0 million to $240.0 million. Subsequent to the close of the quarter, Management elected to reduce the facility size from $240.0 million to $200.0 million. All of the assets of the Fund collateralize borrowings by the Fund. The Fund pays interest on its borrowings and a fee on the unused portion of the facility. The facility terminates on September 11, 2020, but can be accelerated in the event of default, such as failure by the Fund to make timely interest or principal payments. As of June 30, 2020, $153.0 million was outstanding under the facility.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund invested its assets in venture loans. Amounts disbursed under the Fund’s loan commitments were $74.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net loan amounts outstanding after amortization and valuation adjustments decreased by $23.7 million for the same period. Unexpired unfunded commitments totaled approximately $66.5 million as of June 30, 2020.

Because venture loans are privately negotiated transactions, investments in these assets are relatively illiquid. It is the Management’s experience that not all unexpired unfunded commitments will be used by borrowers. Many credit agreements contain provisions which are milestone dependent and not all borrowers will achieve these milestones. Additionally, the Fund’s credit agreements contain provisions that give relief from funding obligations in the event the borrower has a materially adverse change in its financial condition. Therefore, the unexpired unfunded commitments do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements or future investments for the Fund.

The Fund seeks to maintain the requirements to qualify for the special pass-through status available to RICs under the Code, and thus to be relieved of federal income tax on that part of its net investment income and realized capital gains that it distributes to its shareholder. To qualify as a RIC, the Fund must distribute to its shareholder for each taxable year at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (consisting generally of net investment income and net short-term capital gain) (the “Distribution Requirement”). To the extent that the terms of the Fund’s venture loans provide for the receipt by the Fund of additional interest at the end of the loan term or provide for the receipt by the Fund of a purchase price for the asset at the end of the loan term (“residual income”), the Fund would be required to accrue such residual income over the life of the loan, and to include such accrued undistributed income in its gross income for each taxable year even if it receives no portion of such residual income in that year. Thus, in order to meet the Distribution Requirement and avoid payment of income taxes or an excise tax on undistributed income, the Fund may be required in a particular year to distribute as a dividend an amount in excess of the total amount of income it actually receives. Those distributions will be made from the Fund’s cash assets, from amounts received through amortization of loans or from borrowed funds.

As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had cash reserves of $2.5 million and approximately $165.1 million in scheduled loan receivable payments over the next twelve months. Additionally, the Fund has access to the Company’s uncalled capital of $8.5 million as a liquidity source and the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Management intends to extend the credit facility beyond the current contractual termination date. Together, these amounts are sufficient to meet the current commitment backlog and operational expenses of the Fund over the next year. The Fund regularly evaluates potential future liquidity resources and demands before making additional future commitments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Fund’s business activities contain various elements of risk, of which Management considers interest rate and credit risk to be the principal types of risks. Because the Fund considers the management of risk essential to conducting its business and to maintaining profitability, the Fund’s risk management procedures are designed to identify and analyze the Fund’s risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.  

The Fund manages its market risk by maintaining a portfolio that is diverse by industry, size of investment, stage of development, and borrower. The Fund has limited exposure to public market price fluctuations as the Fund primarily invests in private business enterprises and distributes all equity investments upon receipt to the Company.

The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk based on several factors, including, but not limited to, the borrower’s credit history, available cash, support of the borrower’s underlying investors, available liquidity, “burn rate,” revenue income, security interest, secondary markets for collateral, the size of the loan, term of the loan and the ability to exit via initial public offering or merger and acquisition.

The Fund’s exposure to interest rate sensitivity is regularly monitored and analyzed by measuring the characteristics of assets and liabilities. The Fund utilizes various methods to assess interest rate risk in terms of the potential effect on interest income net of interest expense, the value of net assets and the value at risk in an effort to ensure that the Fund is insulated from any significant adverse effects from changes in interest rates. At June 30, 2020, the outstanding debt balance was $153.0 million at a weighted-average floating interest rate of 0.19%, for which the Fund had derivative instruments in place with a fixed interest rate of 2.01% on $90.0 million of the notional principal amount with an interest rate swap and floor and with a ceiling of 1.00% on $30.0 million with an interest rate collar.

Because all of the Fund’s loans impose a fixed interest rate upon funding, changes in short-term interest rates will not directly affect interest income associated with the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2020. However, those changes could have the potential to change the Fund’s ability to originate loan commitments, acquire and renew bank facilities, and engage in other investment activities. Further, changes in short-term interest rates could also affect interest rate expense, realized gain from investments and interest on the Fund’s short-term investments.
Based on the Fund’s Condensed Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2020, the following table shows the approximate annualized increase (decrease) in components of net assets resulting from operations of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates, assuming no changes in investments, borrowings, cash balances and derivative instruments.

Additionally, a change in the interest rate may affect the value of the derivative instruments and effect Net change in unrealized gain (loss) from derivative instruments. The amount of any such effect will be contingent upon market expectations for future interest rate changes. Any increases in expected future rates will increase the value of the derivative instruments while any rate decreases will decrease the value.
Although Management believes that the foregoing analysis is indicative of the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not take into consideration potential changes in the credit market, credit quality, size and composition of the assets in the portfolio. It also does not assume any new fundings to borrowers, repayments from borrowers or defaults on borrowings. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the table above.
Because the Fund currently borrows, its net investment income is highly dependent upon the difference between the rate at which it borrows and the rate at which it invests the amounts borrowed. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s investment activities and net investment income. The Fund’s exposure to movement in short-term interest rates stems from the Fund borrowing at a floating interest rate but then making loans with a fixed rate at the time the loans are extended. The Fund, therefore, attempts to limit its interest rate risk by acquiring derivative instruments to hedge its interest rate exposure.
The Fund is not sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and other market rates or prices.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

The Fund may become party to certain lawsuits from time to time in the normal course of business. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot now be predicted with certainty, the Fund does not expect any such proceedings will have a material effect upon the Fund’s financial condition or results of operation. Management is not aware of any pending legal proceedings involving the Fund. The Fund is not a party to any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following discussion point should be read in conjunction with Item 1A - “Risk Factors” in the Fund’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed description of the risks attendant to the Fund and its business. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors reported in the Fund’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

              Public Health Crises and Coronavirus Risk.  Public health crises, such as the recent outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), may have direct and indirect adverse impact on the Fund’s portfolio companies’ business operations and results of operations.  Several countries and individual U.S. states have reacted to this rapidly evolving COVID-19 outbreak by instituting quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, travel restrictions, bans on public gathering, and closures of a wide range of businesses beginning March 2020. These measures have had an adverse impact on the global economy and contributed to significant volatility in the financial markets. Starting mid-to-late April through June 2020, many countries and states have started to ease restrictions on businesses and social activity. However, as of late June 2020, travelers from the United States will not be allowed to visit the European Union when the bloc begins to reopen its external borders starting July 1, 2020. These continued travel restrictions may prolong the global economic downturn.
  
Although some countries have begun to ease restrictions on business and social activity, the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Fund’s portfolio companies’ business operations and results of operations is unknown at this time and will depend on many factors outside of the Fund’s control, including, without limitations, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic. Management is continuing to work with the Fund’s portfolio companies that may be directly or indirectly affected by the outbreak to evaluate the continued impact on the borrowers’ ability to make timely payments and creditworthiness.
