*                                         Together with GE Commercial Finance Investment Advisory Services LLC (“GE”), we serve as co-managers of the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC.  Investments made by the program (and most decisions made in respect of program borrowers and the program itself) must be approved by both the Company and GE; therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of the LLC, the Company does not believe that it has control over the Senior Secured Loan Fund (for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 or otherwise).

 

(8)                                 Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets.

 

(9)                                 Non-registered investment company.

 

(10)                          A majority of the variable rate loans to our portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either Libor or an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrower’s

option, which reset annually (A), semi-annually (S), quarterly (Q), bi-monthly (B), monthly (M) or daily (D). For each such loan, we have provided the interest rate in effect at September 30, 2010.

 

(11)                          In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, we are entitled to receive an additional interest amount of 5% on $40 million aggregate principal amount of the portfolio company’s senior term debt previously syndicated by us.

 

(12)                      In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, we are entitled to receive an additional interest amount of 2.50% on $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of the portfolio company’s senior term debt previously syndicated by us.

 

(13)                          Loan was on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2010.

 

(14)                          Loan includes interest rate floor feature.

 

(15)                          In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the notes entitle us to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the Senior Secured Loan Fund’s loan portfolio, which may result in a return greater than the contractual rate.

 

(16)                          Pledge as collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

(17)                          Public company.

Together with GE Commercial Finance Investment Advisory Services LLC (“GE”), we serve as co-managers of the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC.  Investments made by the program (and most decisions made in respect of program borrowers and the program itself) must be approved by both the Company and GE; therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of the LLC, the Company does not believe that it has control over the Senior Secured Loan Fund (for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 or otherwise).

 

 

 

(8)

 

Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets.

 

 

 

(9)

 

Non-registered investment company.

 

 

 

(10)

 

A majority of the variable rate loans to our portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either Libor or an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrower’s option, which reset annually (A), semi-annually (S), quarterly (Q), bi-monthly (B), monthly (M) or daily (D). For each such loan, we have provided the interest rate in effect at December 31, 2009.

 

 

 

(11)

 

In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, we are entitled to receive an additional interest amount of 2.50% on $18.4 million aggregate principal amount of the portfolio company’s senior term debt previously syndicated by us.

 

 

 

(12)

 

Principal amount denominated in Canadian dollars has been translated into U.S. dollars (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements).

 

 

 

(13)

 

In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, we are entitled to receive an additional interest amount of 2.50% on $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of the portfolio company’s senior term debt previously syndicated by us.

 

 

 

(14)

 

Loan was on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2009.

 

 

 

(15)

 

Loan includes interest rate floor feature.

 

 

 

(16)

 

In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, we are entitled to receive an additional interest amount of 2.98% on $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of the portfolio company’s senior term debt previously syndicated by us.

 

 

 

(17)

 

In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the notes entitle us to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the Senior Secured Loan Fund’s loan portfolio, which may result in a return greater than the contractual rate.

ARES CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of September 30, 2010 (unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data and as otherwise indicated)

 

1.                                      ORGANIZATION

 

Ares Capital Corporation (the “Company” or “ARCC” or “we”) is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company incorporated in Maryland. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”). We were incorporated on April 16, 2004 and were initially funded on June 23, 2004. On October 8, 2004, we completed our initial public offering (the “IPO”). On the same date, we commenced substantial investment operations.

 

On April 1, 2010, we consummated our acquisition (the “Allied Acquisition”) of Allied Capital Corporation (“Allied Capital”), in an all stock merger where each existing share of common stock of Allied Capital was exchanged for 0.325 shares of our common stock.  The Allied Acquisition was valued at approximately $908 million as of April 1, 2010.  In connection therewith, we issued approximately 58.5 million shares of our common stock to Allied Capital’s then-existing stockholders, thereby resulting in our then-existing stockholders owning approximately 69% of the combined company and then-existing Allied Capital stockholders owning approximately 31% of the combined company (see Note 15).

 

The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first and second lien senior loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component. To a lesser extent, we also make equity investments. Also, as a result of the Allied Acquisition, Allied Capital’s equity investments, including equity investments larger than those we have traditionally made and equity investments pursuant to which Allied Capital controlled a particular company, became part of our portfolio.

 

We are externally managed by Ares Capital Management LLC (“Ares Capital Management” or the “investment adviser”), an affiliate of Ares Management LLC (“Ares Management”), a global alternative asset manager and a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registered investment adviser. Ares Operations LLC (“Ares Operations” or the “administrator”), an affiliate of Ares Management, provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate.

 

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

 

2.                                      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP, and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include funds from time to time deposited with financial institutions and short-term, liquid investments in a money market fund. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in money market accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Investments

 

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are computed using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains or losses reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, we look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (i.e., substantially all of our investments) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on the input of our investment adviser, audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the board to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12 month period, and under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a minimum of 50% of our portfolio at fair value are subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter.

 

As part of the valuation process, we may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of our investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (an estimate of the total fair value of the portfolio company’s debt and equity), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation.

 

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

 

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the gains or losses that would be realized based on the valuations currently assigned.

 

Our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

·                  Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with our portfolio management team.

 

·                  Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with the investment adviser’s management and investment professionals, and then valuation recommendations are presented to the board of directors.

 

·                 The audit committee of our board of directors reviews these valuations, as well as the input of independent third-party valuation firms with respect to the valuations of a minimum of 50% of our portfolio at fair value.

 

·                 The board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio without a readily available market quotation in good faith based on the input of our investment adviser, audit committee and, where applicable, independent third-party valuation firms.

Table of Contents

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”)), which expands the application of fair value accounting for investments (see Note 8). Investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-10 (previously SFAS No. 141(R)), Business Combinations, which requires that all assets be recorded at fair value.  As a result, the initial amortized cost basis and fair value for the acquired investments were the same at April 1, 2010 (see Note 15).

 

Interest Income Recognition

 

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums from par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

 

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of September 30, 2010, 7.5% of total investments at amortized cost (or 5.2% of total investments at fair value) were on non-accrual status, including 5.3% of total investments at amortized cost (or 5.0% of total investments at fair value) of investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition. As of December 31, 2009, 2.5% of total investments at amortized cost (or 0.5% at fair value) were on non-accrual status.

 

Payment-in-Kind Interest

 

The Company has loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, $13,345 and $34,117, respectively, in PIK income was recorded. Of the PIK income recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, $3,255 and $8,992, respectively, was PIK income from investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, $10,825 and $33,021, respectively, in PIK income were recorded.

 

Capital Structuring Service Fees and Other Income

 

The Company’s investment adviser seeks to provide assistance to our portfolio companies in connection with the Company’s investments and in return the Company may receive fees for capital structuring services. These fees are generally only available to the Company as a result of the Company’s underlying investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that the Company’s investment adviser provides vary by investment, but generally consist of reviewing existing credit facilities, arranging bank financing, arranging equity financing, structuring financing from multiple lenders, structuring financing from multiple equity investors, restructuring existing loans, raising equity and debt capital, and providing general financial advice, which concludes upon closing of the investment.  Any services of the above nature subsequent to the closing would generally generate a separate fee payable to the Company. In certain instances where the Company is invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and does not provide significant services in connection with the investment, a portion of loan fees paid to the Company in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan. The Company’s investment adviser may also take a seat on the board of directors of a portfolio company, or observe the meetings of the board of directors without taking a formal seat.

 

Other income includes fees for asset management, management and consulting services, loan guarantees, commitments, amendments and other services rendered by the Company to portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

43



Table of Contents

 

(1)        Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(2)        Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses.

 

Results of operations based on changes in foreign exchange rates are separately disclosed in the statement of operations. Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuation and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

 

The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and marks its derivatives to market through operations.

 

Offering Expenses

 

The Company’s offering costs, excluding underwriters’ fees, are charged against the proceeds from equity offerings when received. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred approximately $1,035 and $806, respectively, of offering costs.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Debt issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the related credit facility using the straight line method, which closely approximates the effective yield method.

 

U.S. Federal Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company, among other things, has made and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal income taxes.

 

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, no amounts were recorded for U.S. Federal excise tax. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, no amount was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a net benefit of $30 was recorded for U.S. Federal excise tax.

 

Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal and state income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a tax (benefit)/expense of approximately $(164) and $360, respectively, for these subsidiaries. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a tax expense of approximately $454 and $593, respectively, for these subsidiaries.

 

Income taxes for certain of our subsidiaries are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

Dividends to Common Stockholders

 

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the board of directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net

realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although we may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

 

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of any distributions we declare in cash on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if our board of directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend, then our stockholders who have not ‘‘opted out’’ of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividend.  While we generally use primarily newly issued shares to implement the plan (especially if our shares are trading at a premium to net asset value), we may purchase shares in the open market in connection with our obligations under the plan.  In particular, if our shares are trading at a significant enough discount to net asset value and we are otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, we intend to purchase shares in the open market in connection with our obligations under our dividend reinvestment plan.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of actual and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income or loss and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Level 1 and 2 inputs and separate disclosures about fair value measurements (see Note 8), particularly with respect to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 inputs. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation, will require that entities provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities, and adds requirements relating to inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Generally, ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, however, the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 inputs will not be required until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

3.                                      AGREEMENTS

 

Investment Advisory and Management Agreement

 

The Company is party to an investment advisory and management agreement (the “investment advisory and management agreement”) with Ares Capital Management. Subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors, Ares Capital Management provides investment advisory services to the Company. For providing these services, Ares Capital Management receives a fee from us, consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee. Ares Capital Management has committed to defer up to $15,000 in base management and incentive fees for each of the first two fiscal years following the Allied Acquisition if certain earnings targets are not met.

 

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% based on the average value of our total assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears.

 

The incentive fee has two parts. One part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the quarter. Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive 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 feature such as market discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities, accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. The investment adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse us for any part of the incentive fee it received that was based on accrued interest that we never actually receive.

 

45



Table of Contents

 

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 we may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where we incur a loss. For example, if we receive pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, we will pay the applicable incentive fee even if we have incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized capital losses.

 

Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our 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, is compared to a fixed “hurdle rate” of 2% per quarter. If market interest rates rise, we may be able to invest our funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which would increase our pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for our investment adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an incentive fee based on such net investment income. Our pre-incentive fee net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) used to calculate the 1.5% base management fee.

 

We pay the investment adviser an incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

 

·                  no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate;

 

·                  100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% in any calendar quarter. We refer to this portion of our pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5%) as the “catch-up” provision. The “catch-up” is meant to provide our investment adviser with 20% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter; and

 

·                  20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter.

 

These calculations are adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter.

 

The second part of the incentive fee (the “Capital Gains Fee”), is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or, upon termination of the investment advisory and management agreement, as of the termination date) and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (a) the sum of our cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (b) our cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from October 8, 2004. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the Capital Gains Fee for such year is equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of Capital Gains Fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no Capital Gains Fee for such year.

 

The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in our portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

 

The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in our portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

 

The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in our portfolio as of the applicable Capital Gains Fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

 

We defer cash payment of any incentive fee otherwise earned by the investment adviser if during the most recent four full calendar quarter period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made the sum of (a) the aggregate distributions to our stockholders and (b) the change in net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) is less than 8.0% of our net assets at the beginning of such period.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred $15,436 and $35,574, respectively, in base management fees and $17,805 and $40,922, respectively, in incentive management fees related to pre-incentive fee net

investment income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we accrued no incentive management fees related to net realized capital gains.  As of September 30, 2010, $33,241 was unpaid and included in “management and incentive fees payable” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred $7,508 and $22,502, respectively, in base management fees and $8,227 and $23,764, respectively, in incentive management fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we accrued no incentive management fees related to realized capital gains.

 

Administration Agreement

 

We are party to a separate administration agreement, referred to herein as the “administration agreement,” with our administrator, Ares Operations. Pursuant to the administration agreement, Ares Operations furnishes us with office equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services. Under the administration agreement, Ares Operations also performs, or oversees the performance of, our required administrative services, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, Ares Operations assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. Payments under the administration agreement are equal to an amount based upon our allocable portion of Ares Operations’ overhead in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers and their respective staffs. The administration agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60-days’ written notice to the other party.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred $2,642 and $6,251, respectively, in administrative fees. As of September 30, 2010, $2,642 was unpaid and included in “accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred $809 and $2,905, respectively, in administrative fees.

Senior Secured Loan Program. In October 2009, the Company completed its acquisition from Allied Capital of subordinated notes issued by the Senior Secured Loan Program (the “SSLP Notes”).  The Senior Secured Loan Program was formed in December 2007 to invest in “unitranche” loans (loans that combine both senior and subordinated debt, generally in a first lien position) of middle-market companies. The cost and fair value of the SSLP Notes was $400.5 million and $425.5 million, respectively, at September 30, 2010, and $165.0 million and $165.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2009.  The SSLP Notes pay a coupon of LIBOR plus 8.0% and also entitle the Company to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, which may result in a return greater than the contractual coupon. The Company is also entitled to certain other sourcing and management fees related to this investment. The Company’s yield on its investment in the Senior Secured Loan Program at fair value was 16.52% and 17.00% at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company earned interest income of $12,987 and $30,242, respectively, on the SSLP Notes.

 

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Senior Secured Loan Program had total assets of $2.0 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, in aggregate principal amount.  The senior debt obligations of the Senior Secured Loan Program were $1.5 billion and $0.7 billion in aggregate principal amount at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The SSLP Notes owned by the Company are junior to the senior debt obligations of the fund and the Company owns 87.5% of the outstanding class of such notes.

 

The Senior Secured Loan Program’s portfolio consisted of 17 and 11 different issuers as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the portfolio was comprised of all first lien senior secured debt issued by U.S. middle-market companies and none of the loans were on non-accrual status. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the single largest issuer in the Senior Secured Loan Program’s portfolio in aggregate principal amount was $254.4 million and $179.9 million, respectively, and the top five issuers totaled $1,053.9 million and $535.3 million, respectively.  The portfolio companies in the Senior Secured Loan Program are in similar industries as the companies in Ares Capital’s portfolio.

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had the following commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans to its portfolio companies:

Of the total net adjusted unfunded commitments as of September 30, 2010, $78,100 are from commitments for investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition.  Also, of the total commitments as of September 30, 2010, $176,600 extend beyond the maturity date for our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7). Included within the total commitments as of September 30, 2010 are commitments to issue up to $21,700 in standby letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. Under these arrangements, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $18,700 in standby letters of credit issued and outstanding on behalf of the portfolio companies, of which no amounts were recorded as a liability on the balance sheet as they are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company.  Of these letters of credit, $300 expire in December 2010, $800 expire in January 2011, $8,200 expire in February 2011, $2,000 expire in March 2011, $2,300 expire in September 2011, and $5,100 expire in December 2012.

See Note 10 for more information on the Company’s commitment to the Senior Secured Loan Program.

 

In the ordinary course of business, Allied Capital had issued guarantees on behalf of certain portfolio companies.  Under these arrangements, payments would be required to be made to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment.  As part of the Allied Acquisition, the Company assumed such outstanding guarantees or similar obligations.  As a result, as of September 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding guarantees or similar obligations totaling $0.8 million and an outstanding servicer performance guaranty.  The servicer performance guaranty relates to one portfolio company’s servicing of loans held in a loan warehouse facility, and as of September 30, 2010, there were no known issues or claims with respect to such performance guaranty.

CP Funding Facility

 

In October 2004, we formed Ares Capital CP Funding LLC (“Ares Capital CP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, through which we established a revolving facility (as amended, the “CP Funding Facility”) that, as amended, allowed Ares Capital CP to issue up to $350,000 of variable funding certificates.  On May 7, 2009, the Company and Ares Capital CP entered into an amendment that, among other things, converted the CP Funding Facility from a revolving facility to an amortizing facility, extended the maturity from July 21, 2009 to May 7, 2012 and reduced the availability from $350,000 to $225,000.

 

On July 21, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Wachovia Bank N.A. (“Wachovia”) to establish a new revolving facility (the “CP Funding II Facility”) whereby Wachovia agreed to extend credit to us in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $200,000 at any one time outstanding. The CP Funding II Facility was scheduled to expire on July 21, 2012.

 

On January 22, 2010, we combined the CP Funding Facility with the CP Funding II Facility into a single $400,000 revolving securitized facility (the “combined CP Funding Facility”). In connection with the combination, we terminated the CP Funding II Facility and entered into an Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement with Ares Capital CP Funding Holdings LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (“CP Holdings”), pursuant to which we may sell to CP Holdings certain loans that we have originated or acquired, or will originate or acquire (the “Loans”) from time to time, which CP Holdings will subsequently sell to Ares Capital CP, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CP Holdings. The combined CP Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by, and the membership interest in, Ares Capital CP. The combined CP Funding Facility, among other things, extended the maturity date of the facility to January 22, 2013 (with two one-year extension options, subject to mutual consent). Prior to January 22, 2010, the interest rate charged on the CP Funding Facility was the commercial paper rate plus 3.50%.  After January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, the interest charged on the combined CP Funding Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of between 2.25% and 3.75% or on a “base rate” (which is the higher of a prime rate, or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus an applicable spread of between 1.25% to 2.75%, in each case, based on a pricing grid depending upon our credit rating. As of and for the three months ended September 30, 2010, the effective LIBOR spread under the combined CP Funding Facility was 2.75%.

 

As of September 30, 2010, there was $283,374 outstanding under the combined CP Funding Facility and the Company continues to be in material compliance with all of the limitations and requirements of the combined CP Funding Facility. As of December 31, 2009, there was $221,569 outstanding under the CP Funding Facility.  The combined CP Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by and the membership interest in Ares Capital CP, which as of September 30, 2010 consisted of 34 investments. As of September 30, 2010, the base rate in effect was one month LIBOR, which was 0.26%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the average interest rates (i.e. rate in effect plus the spread) on the combined CP Funding Facility and the CP Funding Facility were 3.11% and 2.99%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the average outstanding balances on the combined CP Funding Facility and the CP Funding Facility were $272,558 and $227,838, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the interest expense incurred on the combined CP Funding Facility and the CP Funding Facility was $2,404 and $6,185, respectively. Cash paid for interest expense on the combined CP Funding Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $5,106.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the average interest rates (i.e., rate in effect plus the spread) for the CP Funding Facility were 3.77% and 3.62%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the average outstanding balances on the CP Funding Facility were $223,345 and $165,172, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the interest expense incurred on the CP Funding Facility was $2,151 and $4,632, respectively. Cash paid for interest expense on the CP Funding Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $4,349.

We are required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.50% and 2.00% depending on the usage level on any unused portion of the combined CP Funding Facility.  Prior to May 7, 2009, we were required to pay a commitment fee for any unused portion of the CP Funding Facility equal to 0.50% per annum for any unused portion of the CP Funding Facility.  Prior to January 22, 2010, we were also required to pay a commitment fee on any unused portion of the CP Funding II Facility of between 0.50% and 2.00% depending on the usage level. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred commitment fees on the CP Funding Facility together with the CP Funding II Facility of $285 and $1,319, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred commitment fees on the CP Funding Facility together with the CP Funding II Facility of $260 and $351, respectively.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

In December 2005, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Revolving Credit Facility”), under which, as amended, the lenders agreed to extend credit to the Company.  On January 22, 2010, we entered into an agreement to amend and restate the Revolving Credit Facility. The amendment and restatement of the Revolving Credit Facility, among other things, increased the size of the facility from $525,000 to $690,000 (comprised of $615,000 in commitments on a stand-alone basis and an additional $75,000 in commitments contingent upon the closing of the Allied Acquisition), extended the maturity date from December 28, 2010 to January 22, 2013 and modified pricing.  The Revolving Credit Facility also includes an “accordion” feature that allows, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility to a maximum of $1,050,000.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we exercised this “accordion” feature and increased the size of the facility by $120,000 to bring the total facility size to $810,000. As of September 30, 2010, there was $431,000 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Company continues to be in material compliance with all of the limitations and requirements of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2009, there was $474,144 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Prior to January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, pricing on the Revolving Credit Facility was based on LIBOR plus 1.00% or on an “alternate base rate” (which was the highest of a prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or one month LIBOR plus 1.00%). After January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, pricing under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of between 2.50% and 4.00% or on the “alternate base rate” plus an applicable spread of between 1.50% and 3.00%, in each case, based on a pricing grid depending upon our credit rating. As of and for the three months ended September 30, 2010, the effective LIBOR spread under the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.00%.  As of September 30, 2010, the one, two, three and six month LIBOR was 0.26%, 0.27%, 0.29% and 0.46%, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the one, two, three and six month LIBOR was 0.23%, 0.24%, 0.25% and 0.43%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the average interest rate was 4.66% and 4.09%, respectively, the average outstanding balance was $194,570 and $271,637, respectively, and the interest expense incurred was $2,972 and $10,526, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the average interest rate was 1.95% and 2.13%, respectively, the average outstanding balance was $328,600 and $414,121, respectively, and the interest expense incurred was $1,605 and $6,617, respectively. Cash paid for interest expense in respect of the revolving credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $7,796 and $7,944, respectively.

 

Additionally, we are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% on any unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the commitment fees incurred were $513 and $1,408, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the commitment fees incurred was $90 and $133, respectively.

 

In connection with the expansion and extension of the Revolving Credit Facility, we paid arrangement fees totaling $15.6 million.  With certain exceptions, the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets in our portfolio (other than investments held by Ares Capital CP under the combined CP Funding Facility, those held as a part of the Debt Securitization, discussed below and retain other investments). As of September 30, 2010, the Revolving Credit Facility was secured by 300 investments.

 

The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by any standby letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $23,108 in standby letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $24,000 in standby letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Debt Securitization

 

In July 2006, through ARCC Commercial Loan Trust 2006, a vehicle serviced by our wholly owned subsidiary, ARCC CLO 2006 LLC (“ARCC CLO”), we completed a $400,000 debt securitization (the “Debt Securitization”) and issued

approximately $314,000 principal amount of asset-backed notes (including an aggregate amount of up to $50,000 of revolving notes, $27,029 of which was drawn down as of September 30, 2010) (the “CLO Notes”) to third parties that are secured by a pool of middle market loans that were purchased or originated by the Company. The CLO Notes are included in our September 30, 2010 consolidated balance sheet. We retained approximately $86,000 of aggregate principal amount of certain BBB and non-rated securities in the Debt Securitization at the time of issuance.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we repaid $32,613, $21,742 and $42,234 of the Class A-1-A, Class A-1A VFN and Class A-2A Notes, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we repurchased, in several open market transactions, $34,790 of CLO Notes consisting of $14,000 of Class B Notes and $20,790 of Class C Notes for a total purchase price of $8,247. As a result of these purchases, we recognized a $26,543 gain on the extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2010, we held an aggregate principal amount of $120,790 of CLO Notes (the “Retained Notes”), in total. The CLO Notes mature on December 20, 2019, and, as of September 30, 2010, there was $177,163 outstanding under the Debt Securitization (excluding the Retained Notes). The blended pricing of the CLO Notes, excluding fees, is approximately 3-month LIBOR plus 35 basis points.

 

The classes, amounts, and interest rates (expressed as a spread to LIBOR) of the CLO Notes are as follows:

The 2011 Notes and 2012 Notes require payment of interest semi-annually, and all principal is due upon maturity. The Company has the option to redeem these notes in whole or in part, together with a redemption premium, as stipulated in the notes.

 

The 2047 Notes require payment of interest quarterly, and all principal is due upon maturity. These notes are redeemable in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after April 15, 2012, at par and upon the occurrence of certain tax events as stipulated in the notes.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred $11,838 and $23,964 of interest expense in connection with the Unsecured Notes, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the cash paid for interest on the Unsecured Notes was $25,266.

 

The Company may purchase the Unsecured Notes in the market to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company purchased $14,350 principal amount of the 2011 Notes and $29,400 principal amount of the 2012 Notes.  As a result of these transactions, we recognized a realized loss of $1,578 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company purchased $19,350 principal amount of the 2011 Notes and $34,400 principal amount of the 2012 Notes.  As a result of these transactions, we recognized a realized loss of $1,961 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

In accordance with ASC 805-10, the initial carrying value of the Unsecured Notes was equal to the fair value as of April 1, 2010 resulting in an initial unaccreted discount from the principal value of the Unsecured Notes of approximately $65.8 million.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded $2,968 and $5,644 of accretion expense, respectively, related to this discount which was included in “interest and credit facility fees” in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

8.                               FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 825-10 (previously SFAS No. 159, the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities), which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet.  The Company has not elected the ASC 8 25-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. As a result, with the exception of the line items entitled “other assets” and “debt,” which are reported at cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the balance sheet.  The carrying value of the line items entitled “interest receivable,” “receivable for open trades,” “payable for open trades,” “accounts payable and accrued expenses,” “management and incentive fees payable” and “interest and facility fees payable” approximate fair value due to their short maturity.

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820-10 (previously SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements), which expands the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Company to assume that the portfolio investment is sold in its principal market to market participants or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company has considered its principal market as the market in which the Company exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with ASC 820-10, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

·               Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

 

54



Table of Contents

 

·               Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

·               Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, we continue to employ the net asset valuation policy approved by our board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820-10 (see Note 2).  Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. Our valuation policy considers the fact that because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, the fair value of the investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.

 

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the gains or losses that would be realized based on the valuations currently assigned.

Following are the carrying and fair values of our debt instruments as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. For the CP Funding Facility, Revolving Credit Facility and the Debt Securitization, fair value is estimated by discounting remaining payments using applicable current market rates which take into account changes in the Company’s marketplace credit ratings.  For the Unsecured Notes, fair value is determined by using market prices.

In accordance with the investment advisory and management agreement, we bear all costs and expenses of the operation of the Company and reimburse the investment adviser for certain of such costs and expenses incurred in the operation of the Company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the investment adviser incurred such expenses totaling $721 and $2,253, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the investment adviser incurred such expenses totaling $456 and $1,400, respectively.

We rent office space directly from a third party pursuant to a lease that expires on February 27, 2011. In addition, we have entered into a sublease agreement with Ares Management whereby Ares Management subleases approximately 25% of our office space for a fixed rent equal to 25% of the basic annual rent payable by us under this lease, plus certain additional costs and expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, such amounts payable to the Company totaled $1,231 and $1,917, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, such amounts payable to the Company totaled $67 and $201, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, there were no unpaid amounts.

 

We recently entered into a new long-term office lease pursuant to which we will lease new office facilities from a third party, and start to pay rent on the new office space in the first quarter of 2011. We also entered into separate subleases with Ares Management and IHAM (as defined in Note 10), pursuant to which Ares Management and IHAM will sublease approximately 15% and 20%, respectively, of the new office space for a fixed rent equal to 15% and 20%, respectively, of the base annual rent payable by us under the new office lease, plus certain additional costs and expenses.

10.                        IVY HILL ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P. AND OTHER MANAGED FUNDS

 

In November 2007, we established Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P. (“IHAM”) to serve as a manager for Ivy Hill Middle Market Credit Fund, Ltd. (“Ivy Hill I”), an unconsolidated investment vehicle focusing on investments in middle market loans. From inception until the second quarter of 2009, IHAM’s financial results were consolidated with those of the Company. In June 2009, because of a shift in activity from being primarily a manager, with no dedicated employees, of funds in which the Company has invested debt and equity, to a manager with investment professionals dedicated to managing an increasing number of third party funds, we concluded that GAAP requires the financial results of IHAM to be reported as a portfolio company in our schedule of investments rather than as a consolidated subsidiary in the Company’s financial results. The Company made an initial equity investment of $3,816 into IHAM in June 2009. As of September 30, 2010, our total investment in IHAM at fair value was $119,976, including an unrealized gain of $23,647. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company received $2,500 and $4,296, respectively, in distributions from IHAM consisting entirely of dividend income.

 

IHAM receives a 0.50% management fee on the average total assets of Ivy Hill I as compensation for managing Ivy Hill I. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company earned $17 and $900, respectively, in management fees from IHAM’s management of Ivy Hill I prior to IHAM’s conversion to a portfolio company in June 2009. Ivy Hill I primarily invests in first and second lien bank debt of middle market companies. Ivy Hill I was initially funded with $404,000 of capital including a $56,000 investment by the Company, consisting of $40,000 of Class B notes and $16,000 of subordinated notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company earned $1,723 and $5,208, respectively, in interest income from its investments in Ivy Hill I. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company earned $1,402 and $4,424, respectively, in interest income from its investments in Ivy Hill I.

Table of Contents

 

Ivy Hill I purchased investments from the Company of $8,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and may from time to time purchase additional investments from the Company. Any such purchases require approval by third parties unaffiliated with the Company or IHAM. There was no gain or loss recognized by the Company on these transactions.

 

In November 2008, the Company established a second middle market credit fund, Ivy Hill Middle Market Credit Fund II, Ltd. (“Ivy Hill II” and, together with Ivy Hill I and Ivy Hill SDF (as defined below), the “Ivy Hill Funds”), which is also managed by IHAM. IHAM receives a 0.50% management fee on the average total assets of Ivy Hill II as compensation for managing this fund. Ivy Hill II primarily invests in second lien and subordinated bank debt of middle market companies. Ivy Hill II was established with an initial commitment of $250,000 of subordinated notes, of which $125,000 has been funded, and may grow over time with leverage. Ivy Hill II purchased $86,500 of investments from the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and may from time to time purchase additional investments from the Company. Any such purchases require approval by third parties unaffiliated with the Company or IHAM. A loss of $1,218 was recorded on these transactions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company earned $12 and $365, respectively, in management fees from IHAM’s management of Ivy Hill II prior to IHAM’s conversion to a portfolio company in June 2009.

 

In December 2009, the Company made an incremental cash investment of approximately $33 million in IHAM to facilitate IHAM’s acquisition of Allied Capital’s management rights in respect of, and interests in, the Allied Capital Senior Debt Fund, L.P. (now referred to as Ivy Hill Senior Debt Fund, L.P. or the “Ivy Hill SDF”). The Ivy Hill SDF currently has approximately $193 million of committed capital invested primarily in first lien loans and, to a lesser extent, second lien loans of middle-market companies. IHAM manages the Ivy Hill SDF and receives fee income and is entitled to potential equity distributions in respect of interests that it acquired in the Ivy Hill SDF.

 

In March 2010, the Company made an incremental cash investment of approximately $48 million in IHAM to facilitate IHAM’s acquisition of Allied Capital’s management rights in respect of, and equity interests in, the Knightsbridge CLO 2007-1, Ltd. and Knightsbridge CLO 2008-1, Ltd. (the “Knightsbridge Funds”).  The Knightsbridge Funds have approximately $644 million of committed capital invested primarily in senior debt.  IHAM manages the Knightsbridge Funds and receives fee income and is entitled to potential equity distributions in respect of equity interests that it acquired in the Knightsbridge Funds.

 

In addition to the Ivy Hill Funds and the Knightsbridge Funds, IHAM also serves as the sub-adviser/sub-manager to four other funds: Colts 2005-1 Ltd., Colts 2005-2 Ltd., Colts 2007-1 Ltd. and Firstlight Funding I, Ltd., which is affiliated with our portfolio company, Firstlight Financial Corporation.

 

Beginning in November 2008, IHAM was party to a separate services agreement, referred to herein as the “services agreement,” with Ares Capital Management. Pursuant to the services agreement, Ares Capital Management provided IHAM with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services, services of investment professionals and others to perform investment advisory, research and related services, services of, and oversight of, custodians, depositories, accountants, attorneys, underwriters and such other persons in any other capacity deemed to be necessary. Under the services agreement, IHAM reimbursed Ares Capital Management for all of the costs associated with such services, including Ares Capital Management’s allocable portion of overhead and the cost of its officers and respective staff in performing its obligations under the services agreement. The services agreement was terminated effective June 30, 2010 and replaced with a different services agreement with similar terms between IHAM and our administrator.  Prior to IHAM’s conversion to a portfolio company in June 2009, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, IHAM incurred such expenses payable to Ares Capital Management of $0 and $538, respectively.

 

In October 2009, we completed our acquisition of Allied Capital’s subordinated notes in the Senior Secured Loan Program for $165,000. At September 30, 2010, the Company’s investment in the Senior Secured Loan Program was $425,500 at fair value, including an unrealized gain of $25,049. The Senior Secured Loan Program was formed in December 2007 to invest in “unitranche” loans (loans that combine both senior and subordinated debt, generally in a first lien position) of middle-market companies and currently has approximately $3.6 billion of total committed capital, approximately $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of which is currently funded. At September 30, 2010, the Company’s unfunded commitment to the Senior Secured Loan Program was $98 million. The Senior Secured Loan Program is capitalized as transactions are completed. Together with GE Commercial Finance Investment Advisory Services LLC (“GE”), we serve as co-managers of the Senior Secured Loan Program and investments made by the program must be approved by both the Company and GE. Our investment entitles us to a coupon of LIBOR plus 8.0% and also entitles us to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, which may result in a return greater than the contractual coupon. The Company is also entitled to certain other sourcing and management fees related to this investment. See Note 5 for additional information on the Company’s investment in the Senior Secured Loan Program.

In addition, we manage an unconsolidated fund, AGILE Fund I, LLC, and our wholly owned subsidiary A.C. Corporation manages three unconsolidated loan funds: Emporia Preferred Funding I, Ltd., Emporia Preferred Funding II, Ltd. and Emporia Preferred Funding III, Ltd. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company earned management fees of $1,349 and $3,014, respectively, from these funds. In August 2010, the Company made an incremental cash investment of approximately $8 million in IHAM to facilitate IHAM’s acquisition of an equity interest in Emporia Preferred Funding III, Ltd.

 

11.                        DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

In October 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that ends on December 20, 2010 to mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates for a total notional amount of $75 million. Under the interest rate swap agreement, we will pay a fixed interest rate of 2.985% and receive a floating rate based on the prevailing three-month LIBOR. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the 3-month LIBOR was 0.29% and 0.25%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized $401 and $1,293, respectively, in unrealized appreciation related to this swap agreement. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, this swap agreement had a fair value of $(448) and $(1,741), respectively, which is included in “accounts payable and other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

15.                        ALLIED ACQUISITION

 

On October 26, 2009, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Allied Capital in an all stock transaction.  On April 1, 2010, we completed the Allied Acquisition by acquiring the outstanding shares of Allied Capital in exchange for shares of our common stock in a transaction valued at approximately $908 million as of the closing date.  Concurrently with the completion of the Allied Acquisition, we assumed and then repaid in full the $137 million of remaining amounts outstanding on Allied Capital’s $250 million senior secured term loan.  We also assumed all of Allied Capital’s other outstanding debt obligations, including approximately $745 million in principal amount of Allied Capital’s Unsecured Notes.

 

Under the terms of the transaction, each Allied Capital stockholder received 0.325 shares of our common stock for each share of Allied Capital common stock then owned by such stockholder. In connection with the Allied Acquisition, approximately 58.5 million shares of our common stock (including the effect of outstanding in-the money Allied Capital stock options) were issued to Allied Capital’s then-existing stockholders, thereby resulting in our then-existing stockholders owning approximately 69% of the combined company and the then-existing Allied Capital stockholders owning approximately 31% of the combined company.

 

The Allied Acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-10 (previously SFAS No. 141(R)), Business Combinations. The acquisition method of accounting requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity based on their fair values as of the date of acquisition. As described in more detail in ASC 805-10, if the total acquisition date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred, the excess will be recognized as a gain. Upon completion of our determination of the fair value of Allied Capital’s identifiable net assets as of April 1, 2010, the fair value of such net assets exceeded the fair value of the consideration transferred, thereby, resulting in the recognition of a gain.  The valuation of the investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition was done in accordance with Ares Capital’s valuation policy (see Notes 2 and 8).

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to be indicative of actual financial position or results of our operations had the Allied Acquisition actually been consummated at the beginning of each period presented.  Certain one-time charges have been eliminated. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized $1,438 and $17,761, respectively, in professional fees and other costs related to the Allied Acquisition. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the allocation of the purchase price of Allied Capital and the gain of $195,876 recognized on the Allied Acquisition have been eliminated from all periods presented.  The pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the potential impact of possible synergies and does not reflect any impact of additional accretion which would have been recognized on the transaction, except for that which was recorded after the transaction was consummated on April 1, 2010.

Prior to the completion of the Allied Acquisition, but subsequent to October 26, 2009, the date we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Allied Capital, we purchased $340 million of assets from Allied Capital in arm’s length transactions.  Additionally, during the same period of time, IHAM purchased $69 million of assets from Allied Capital, also in arm’s length transactions.

 

16.                        LITIGATION

 

On July 29, 2010, the court in In re Allied Capital Corporation Shareholder Litigation, Case No. 322639V (Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland) (the “Maryland action”) issued an order approving the settlement and dismissing all claims against Allied Capital, the Company and the other defendants in the Maryland action.  On August 3, 2010, the court in Ryan v. Walton, et al., Case No. 1:10-CV-000145-RMC (United States District Court for the District of Columbia) (the “D.C. Federal Court action”) dismissed the D.C. Federal Court action.  On August 10, 2010, Sandler v. Walton, et al., Case No. 2009 CA 008123 B (Superior Court for the District of Columbia), which was consolidated with Wienecki v. Allied Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 2009 CA 008541 B (Superior Court for the District of Columbia), was dismissed.  All of these actions had been filed by stockholders of Allied Capital challenging the Allied Acquisition and were dismissed in connection with settlements among the plaintiffs, Allied Capital and the Company.  The settlements are not, and should not be construed as, an admission of wrongdoing or liability by any defendant.  The parties considered it desirable that the actions be settled to avoid the expense, risk, inconvenience and distraction of continued litigation and to fully resolve the settled claims.

 

In addition, the Company is party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business.  Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on Ares Capital in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies.  While the outcome of any such open legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect these matters will materially affect its financial condition or results of operations.

 

17.                        SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included herein. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this Form 10-Q or would be required to be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, except as disclosed below.

 

On October 21, 2010, we issued $200 million of senior unsecured notes that mature on October 15, 2040 (the “2040 Notes”) and may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option at any time on or after October 15, 2015 at a par redemption price of $25 per security plus accrued and unpaid interest.  The principal amount of the 2040 Notes will be payable at maturity. Ares Capital used the net proceeds of this offering to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility. The 2040 Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.75% per year payable quarterly commencing on January 15, 2011.  Total proceeds from the issuance of the 2040 Notes, net of underwriters’ discount and offering costs, were approximately $193 million.

OVERVIEW

 

We are a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company incorporated in Maryland. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”). We were founded on April 16, 2004, were initially funded on June 23, 2004 and on October 8, 2004 completed our initial public offering.

 

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first and second lien senior loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component like warrants.

 

62



Table of Contents

 

To a lesser extent, we also make equity investments, which have generally been non-control equity investments of less than $20 million (usually in conjunction with a concurrent loan investment). However, we may increase the size or nature of these investments. Also, as a result of the Allied Acquisition, Allied Capital’s equity investments, including equity investments larger than those we have traditionally made and equity investments pursuant to which Allied Capital controlled a particular portfolio company, became part of our portfolio. We intend to actively seek opportunities over time to dispose of certain of these investments and rotate them into higher-yielding first and second lien senior loans and mezzanine debt investments. However, there can be no assurance that this strategy will be successful.

 

We are externally managed by Ares Capital Management, an affiliate of Ares Management, a global alternative asset manager and an SEC-registered investment adviser, pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement. Ares Operations, an affiliate of Ares Management, provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate.

 

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities and indebtedness of private U.S. companies and certain public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

 

The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to our stockholders generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Pursuant to this election, we generally will not have to pay corporate level taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders provided that we satisfy those requirements.

 

Allied Acquisition

 

On April 1, 2010, we consummated the Allied Acquisition in an all stock merger whereby each existing share of common stock of Allied Capital was exchanged for 0.325 shares of our common stock.  The Allied Acquisition was valued at approximately $908 million as of April 1, 2010.  In connection therewith, we issued approximately 58.5 million shares of our common stock to Allied Capital’s then-existing stockholders, thereby resulting in our then-existing stockholders owning approximately 69% of the combined company and the then-existing Allied Capital stockholders owning approximately 31% of the combined company. Accordingly, although information presented herein as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 does include the results of operations and financial condition of the combined company, information presented herein as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 relates solely to Ares Capital, as it existed before the Allied Acquisition.

(1)         New investment commitments include new agreements to fund revolving credit facilities or delayed draw loans.

 

(2)         Number of new investments represents each commitment to a particular portfolio company.

 

(3)         When we refer to the “weighted average yield at fair value” in this report, we compute it with respect to particular securities by taking the (a) annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount and market discount earned on accruing debt included in such securities, and dividing it by (b) total debt and income producing securities at fair value included in such securities. When we refer to the “weighted average yield at amortized cost” in this report, we compute it with respect to particular securities by taking the (a) annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount and market discount earned on accruing debt included in such securities, and dividing it by (b) total debt and income producing securities at amortized cost included in such securities.

The investment adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our investment adviser grades the risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 4 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (i.e. at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company’s business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. Under this system, investments with a grade of 4 involve the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a potential exit. Investments graded 3 involve a level of risk to our initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is generally performing as expected and the risk factors to our ability to ultimately recoup the cost of our investment are neutral to favorable. All investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a grade of 3. Investments graded 2 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and non- compliance with debt covenants; however, payments are generally not more than 120 days past due. An investment grade of 1 indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has substantially increased since origination or acquisition, and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. For debt investments with an investment grade of 1, most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For investments graded 1, it is not anticipated that we will be repaid in an amount equal to our full initial cost basis. For investments graded 1 or 2, our investment adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company.

 

Each investment acquired in the Allied Acquisition was initially assessed a grade of 3 (i.e., the grade we generally assign a portfolio company at acquisition) on April 1, 2010, the date of initial acquisition, reflecting the relative risk to our initial cost basis of such investments.  Ares Capital grades the investments in its portfolio each quarter and it is possible that the grade of certain of these portfolio investments may be reduced or increased over time.

Net income can vary substantially from period to period as a result of various factors, including the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation.  As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not be meaningful.

 

Investment Income

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, total investment income increased $77.2 million, or 127%, to $138.1 million from $60.9 million for the comparable period in 2009.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, total investment income primarily consisted of $107.8 million in interest income from investments, $20.6 million in capital structuring service fees, $4.4 million in management fees and $3.9 million in dividend income. Interest income from investments increased $50.9 million, or 90%, to $107.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $56.9 million for the comparable period in 2009.  The increase in interest income from investments was primarily due to the increase in investments as the average investments at fair value increased from $2.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $4.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2010, which was largely due to the investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition. Interest income from investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition was approximately $46.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.   Capital structuring service fees earned for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $20.6 million as compared to no capital structuring service fees earned for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in capital structuring service fees was primarily due to the increase in new investment commitments for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. Capital structuring fees for the three months ended September 30, 2010 includes sourcing fees related to the Senior Secured Loan Program of $12.5 million. Management fees increased $4.3 million, or 4,757%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $0.1 million for the comparable period in 2009.  The increase in management fees was primarily related to $2.5 million in management fees earned from the investments and management contracts acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition as well as $1.8 million in management fees earned related to the Senior Secured Loan Program.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, total investment income increased $150.2 million, or 85%, to $326.2 million from $176.0 million for the comparable period in 2009.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, total investment income primarily consisted of $273.4 million in interest income from investments, $30.4 million in capital structuring service fees, $10.0 million in management fees and $7.8 million in dividend income. Interest income from investments increased $110.2 million, or 68%, to $273.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $163.2 million for the comparable period in 2009.  The increase in interest income from investments was primarily due to the increase in investments as the average investments at fair value increased from $2.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $3.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which was largely due to the investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition.  Interest income from investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition were approximately $90.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Capital structuring service fees increased $28.6 million, or 1,546%, to $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $1.8 million for the comparable period in 2009. The increase in capital structuring service fees was primarily due to the increase in new investment commitments for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Capital structuring fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes sourcing fees related to the Senior Secured Loan Program of $15.1 million. Management fees increased $7.4 million, or 273%, to $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $2.7 million for the comparable period in 2009.  The increase in management fees was primarily related to $5.4 million in management fees earned from the investments and management contracts acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition as well as $3.7 million in management fees earned from the Senior Secured Loan Program.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, total expenses increased $39.6 million, or 144%, to $67.1 million from $27.5 million for the comparable period in 2009. Interest expense and credit facility fees increased $17.0 million, or 298%, to $22.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $5.7 million for the comparable period in 2009, primarily due to the additional interest expense incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2010 on Allied Capital’s publicly issued unsecured notes assumed in the Allied Acquisition (the “Unsecured Notes”) of $14.8 million.  Base and incentive management fees increased $17.5 million, or 111%, to $33.2 million from $15.7 million in total for the comparable period in 2009, primarily due to the increase in investments and the related interest income on those investments as a result of the Allied Acquisition, partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to the assumption of the Unsecured Notes in the Allied Acquisition.

Income Tax Expense, Including Excise Tax

 

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, timely distribute to its stockholders generally at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Among other things, the Company has, in order to maintain its RIC status, made and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. Federal income taxes.

 

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded no amounts for U.S. Federal excise tax.  For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded no amounts for U.S. Federal excise tax.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized a $0.1 million benefit for U.S. Federal excise tax.

 

Certain of our subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal and state income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a tax (benefit)/expense of $(0.2) million and $0.4 million, respectively, for these subsidiaries, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded tax provisions of approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for these subsidiaries.

 

Net Unrealized Gains/Losses

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company had net unrealized gains of $57.5 million, which were primarily comprised of $115.6 million in unrealized appreciation, $59.4 million in unrealized depreciation and $1.3 million related to the reversal of prior period net unrealized depreciation. Of the total net unrealized gains for the three months ended September 30, 2010, $19.1 million were related to investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition, which were primarily comprised of $59.3 million in unrealized appreciation, $41.5 million in unrealized depreciation, and $1.3 million related to the reversal of prior period net unrealized depreciation.  The most significant changes in net unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the total portfolio (excluding the reversal of prior period net unrealized appreciation) during the three months ended September 30, 2010 were as follows (in millions):

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Since the Company’s inception, the Company’s liquidity and capital resources have been generated primarily from the net proceeds of public offerings of common stock, the Debt Securitization and advances from the combined CP Funding Facility (and its predecessors) and Revolving Credit Facility, each as defined below (together, the “Facilities”), as well as cash flows from operations. As part of the Allied Acquisition, the Company assumed all outstanding debt obligations of Allied Capital, including the Unsecured Notes, which consist of 6.625% Notes due on July 15, 2011 (the “2011 Notes”), 6.000% Notes due on April 1, 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) and 6.875% Notes due on April 15, 2047 (the “2047 Notes”).

 

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $134 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 billion in total indebtedness outstanding at carrying value ($1.6 billion at principal amount). Subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, the Company had approximately $495 million available for additional borrowings under the Facilities and Debt Securitization as of September 30, 2010.

In addition, in connection with the closing of the Allied Acquisition, on April 1, 2010, we issued 58,492,537 shares of common stock valued at approximately $872.7 million.

 

Part of the proceeds from the February 2010 and August 2009 public offerings were used to repay outstanding indebtedness.  The remaining unused portions of the proceeds from these public offerings were used to fund investments in portfolio companies in accordance with our investment objective and strategies and market conditions.

 

As of September 30, 2010, total equity market capitalization for the Company was $3.0 billion compared to $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2009.

As required by the Investment Company Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the Investment Company Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of September 30, 2010, our asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 282%.

 

CP Funding Facilities

 

In October 2004, we formed Ares Capital CP Funding LLC (“Ares Capital CP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, through which we established a revolving facility (as amended, the “CP Funding Facility”) that, as amended, allowed Ares Capital CP to issue up to $350 million of variable funding certificates.  On May 7, 2009, the Company and Ares Capital CP entered into an amendment that, among other things, converted the CP Funding Facility from a revolving facility to an amortizing facility, extended the maturity from July 21, 2009 to May 7, 2012 and reduced the availability from $350 million to $225 million.

 

On July 21, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Wachovia Bank N.A. (“Wachovia”) to establish a new revolving facility (the “CP Funding II Facility”) whereby Wachovia agreed to extend credit to us in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $200 million at any one time outstanding. Prior to its combination with the CP Funding Facility, the CP Funding II Facility was scheduled to expire on July 21, 2012.

 

On January 22, 2010, we combined the CP Funding Facility with the CP Funding II Facility into a single $400 million revolving securitized facility (the “combined CP Funding Facility”). In connection with the combination, we terminated the CP Funding II Facility and entered into an Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement with Ares Capital CP Funding Holdings LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (“CP Holdings”), pursuant to which we may sell to CP Holdings certain loans that we have originated or acquired, or will originate or acquire (the “Loans”) from time to time, which CP Holdings will subsequently sell to Ares Capital CP, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CP Holdings. The combined CP Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by, and the

membership interest in, Ares Capital CP. The combined CP Funding Facility, among other things, extends the maturity date of the facility to January 22, 2013 (with two one-year extension options, subject to mutual consent). Prior to January 22, 2010, the interest rate charged on the CP Funding Facility was the commercial paper rate plus 3.50%.  After January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, the interest charged on the combined CP Funding Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of between 2.25% and 3.75% or on a “base rate” (which is the higher of a prime rate, or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus an applicable spread of between 1.25% to 2.75%, in each case, based on a pricing grid depending upon our credit rating. Additionally, we are required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.50% and 2.00% depending on the usage level on any unused portion of the combined CP Funding Facility. As of September 30, 2010, the effective LIBOR spread under the CP Funding Facility was 2.75%.

 

As of September 30, 2010, the principal amount outstanding under the combined CP Funding Facility was $283.4 million and the Company continues to be in material compliance with all of the limitations and requirements of the CP Funding Facility. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for more detail on the combined CP Funding Facility.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

In December 2005, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Revolving Credit Facility”), under which, as amended, the lenders agreed to extend credit to the Company.  On January 22, 2010, we entered into an agreement to amend and restate the Revolving Credit Facility. The amendment and restatement of the Revolving Credit Facility, among other things, increased the size of the facility from $525 million to $690 million (comprised of $615 million in commitments on a stand-alone basis and an additional $75 million in commitments contingent upon the closing of the Allied Acquisition), extended the maturity date from December 28, 2010 to January 22, 2013 and modified pricing.  The Revolving Credit Facility also includes an “accordion” feature that allows, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility to a maximum of $1.05 billion.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we exercised this “accordion” feature and increased the size of the facility by $60 million to bring the total facility size to $810 million.  As of September 30, 2010, there was $431.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Company continues to be in material compliance with all of the limitations and requirements of the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Prior to January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, pricing on the Revolving Credit Facility was based on LIBOR plus 1.00% or on an “alternate base rate” (which was the highest of a prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or one month LIBOR plus 1.00%). After January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, pricing under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of between 2.50% and 4.00% or on the “alternate base rate” plus an applicable spread of between 1.50% and 3.00%, in each case, based on a pricing grid depending upon our credit rating.  As of September 30, 2010, the effective LIBOR spread under the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.00%. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for more detail on the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Debt Securitization

 

In July 2006, through ARCC Commercial Loan Trust 2006, a vehicle serviced by our wholly owned subsidiary, ARCC CLO 2006 LLC (“ARCC CLO”), we completed a $400 million debt securitization (the “Debt Securitization”) and issued approximately $314 million principal amount of asset-backed notes (including revolving notes in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million, $27.0 million of which were drawn down as of September 30, 2010) (the “CLO Notes”) to third parties that were secured by a pool of middle market loans that have been purchased or originated by the Company. The CLO Notes are included in the September 30, 2010 consolidated balance sheet. We retained approximately $86 million of aggregate principal amount of certain BBB and non-rated securities in the Debt Securitization. During the first quarter of 2009, we repurchased $34.8 million of additional CLO Notes, bringing our total holdings of CLO Notes to $120.8 million (the “Retained Notes”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we repaid $96.6 million of the CLO Notes.

 

The CLO Notes mature on December 20, 2019 and have a blended pricing of LIBOR plus 0.35%. As of September 30, 2010, there was $177.2 million outstanding under the Debt Securitization (excluding the Retained Notes). See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for more detail on the Debt Securitization.

The 2011 Notes and the 2012 Notes require payment of interest semi-annually, and all principal is due upon maturity. The Company has the option to redeem these notes in whole or in part, together with a redemption premium, as stipulated in the notes.

 

The 2047 Notes require payment of interest quarterly, and all principal is due upon maturity. These notes are redeemable in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after April 15, 2012, at par and upon the occurrence of certain tax events as stipulated in the notes.

 

In addition, the Company may purchase the Unsecured Notes in the market to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company purchased $14.4 million of the 2011 Notes and $29.4 million of the 2012 Notes.  As a result of these transactions a realized loss of $1.6 million was recognized during the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company purchased $19.4 million of the 2011 Notes and $34.4 million of the 2012 Notes.  As a result of these transactions a realized loss of $2.0 million was recognized during the period.

 

See Recent Developments and Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements for more detail on the issuance of unsecured notes on October 21, 2010.

 

PORTFOLIO VALUATION

 

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are computed using the specific identification method. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, we look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (i.e., substantially all of our investments) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on the input of our management and audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the board to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12-month period, and under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a minimum 50% of our valuations of portfolio at fair value are subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter.

 

As part of the valuation process, we may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of our investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (an estimate of the total fair value of the portfolio company’s debt and equity), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation.

 

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on the input of our management and audit committee and independent valuation firms, under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.

 

In addition, changes in the market environment, such as inflation, and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the gains or losses that would be realized based on the valuations currently assigned. See the factors set forth in “Risk Factors” included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, including the Risk Factor entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to our Investments—Price declines and illiquidity in the corporate debt markets have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the fair value of our portfolio investments, reducing our net asset value through increased net unrealized depreciation.”

Table of Contents

 

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

 

·                  Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with our portfolio management team.

 

·                  Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with the entire investment portfolio and management team, and then valuation recommendations are presented to the board of directors.

 

·                  The audit committee of our board of directors reviews these valuations, as well as the input of independent third-party valuation firms with respect to the valuations of a minimum of 50% of our portfolio at fair value.

 

·                  The board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio without a readily available market quotation in good faith based on the input of our management and audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms.

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”)), which expands the application of fair value accounting for investments (see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements). Investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-10 (previously SFAS No. 141(R)), Business Combinations, which requires that all assets be recorded at fair value.  As a result, the initial amortized cost basis and fair value for the acquired investments were the same value at April 1, 2010 (see Note 15 to consolidated financial statements).

Under these arrangements, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $18.7 million in standby letters of credit issued and outstanding on behalf of the portfolio companies, of which no amounts were recorded as a liability on the balance sheet as they are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company.  Of these letters of credit, $0.3 million expire in December 2010, $0.8 million expire in January 2011, $8.2 million expire in February 2011, $2.0 million expire in March 2011, $2.3 million expire in September 2011, and $5.1 million expire in December 2011.

As of September 30, 2010, one of the Company’s portfolio companies, Ciena Capital LLC (“Ciena”), had one non-recourse securitization Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan warehouse facility, which has reached its maturity date but remains outstanding. Ciena is working with the providers of the SBA loan warehouse facility with regard to the repayment of that facility. Allied Capital had previously issued a performance guaranty (which Ares Capital succeeded to as a result of the Allied Acquisition) whereby Ares Capital must indemnify the warehouse providers for any damages, losses, liabilities and related costs and expenses that they may incur as a result of Ciena’s failure to perform any of its obligations as loan originator, loan seller or loan servicer under the warehouse facility. As of September 30, 2010, there are no known issues or claims with respect to this performance guaranty.

 

See Notes 5 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements for more information on the Company’s commitment to the Senior Secured Loan Program.

 

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

On October 21, 2010, we issued $200 million of senior unsecured notes that mature on October 15, 2040 (the “2040 Notes”) and may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option at any time on or after October 15, 2015 at a par redemption price of $25 per security plus accrued and unpaid interest.  The principal amount of the 2040 Notes will be payable at maturity. The 2040 Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.75% per year payable quarterly commencing on January 15, 2011.  Total proceeds from the issuance of the 2040 Notes, net of underwriters’ discount and offering costs, were approximately $193 million. Ares Capital used the net proceeds of this offering to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

As of November 3, 2010, we had made new investment commitments of $128 million, all of which were funded, since September 30, 2010. Of these new investment commitments, 61% were in investments in subordinated notes of the Senior Secured Loan Program, 29% were in first lien senior secured debt, 2% were in second lien senior secured debt, and 8% were in equity securities. Of the $128 million of new investment commitments, 66% were fixed rate with a weighted average yield at amortized cost of 15.2% and 31% were floating rate with a weighted average spread at amortized cost of 6.2%.

 

As of November 3, 2010, we had exited $146 million of investments since September 30, 2010. Of these investments, 33% were in first lien senior secured debt, 37% were in senior subordinated debt, 17% were in second lien senior secured debt and 13% were in equity investments. Of the $146 million of investments, 30% were in fixed rate investments with a weighted average yield at amortized cost of 17.4%. Of the remaining investments, 54% were in floating rate investments with a weighted average spread at amortized cost of 6.7%, 3% were investments on non-accrual status and 13% were non-interest earning.  Also, of the $146 million of investments exited since September 30, 2010, $66 million were investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition including $4 million that were on non-accrual status. Additionally, we recognized net realized gains of approximately $19 million on the investments exited that were acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition.

 

In addition, as of November 3, 2010, we had an investment backlog and pipeline of $180 million and $310 million, respectively. We may syndicate a portion of these investments and commitments to third parties. The consummation of any of the investments in this backlog and pipeline depends upon, among other things: satisfactory completion of our due diligence investigation of the prospective portfolio company, our acceptance of the terms and structure of such investment and the execution and delivery of satisfactory transaction documentation. We cannot assure you that we will make any of these investments or that we will syndicate any portion of such investments and commitments.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and the valuations of our investment portfolio.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

 

As of September 30, 2010, approximately 53% of the investments at fair value in our portfolio were at fixed rates while approximately 26% were at variable rates, 16% were non-interest earning and 5% were on non-accrual status. Additionally, as of September 30, 2010, 18% of the investments at fair value or 69% of the investments at fair value with variable rates contain interest rate floors. The Debt Securitization, the CP Funding Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility all bear interest at variable rates while the Unsecured Notes bear interest at fixed rates.

We regularly measure our exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

 

In October 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that ends on December 20, 2010, for a total notional amount of $75 million. Under the interest rate swap agreement, we will pay a fixed interest rate of 2.985% and receive a floating rate based on the prevailing three-month LIBOR.

 

While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments.

 

Based on our September 30, 2010 balance sheet, the following table shows the annual impact on net income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure and reflecting the effect of our interest rate swap agreement described above and in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements (in millions):

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our President and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them of material information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2010 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.

 

See Part II, Item 1 “Legal Proceedings,” in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 (the “Previous 10-Q”) for a complete description of certain proceedings previously reported by us, including those described below.  Only significant subsequent developments in such proceedings and new matters, if any, since the filing of the Previous 10-Q are described below.

On July 29, 2010, the court in In re Allied Capital Corporation Shareholder Litigation, Case No. 322639V (Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland) (the “Maryland action”) issued an order approving the settlement and dismissing all claims against Allied Capital, the Company and the other defendants in the Maryland action.  On August 3, 2010, the court in Ryan v. Walton, et al., Case No. 1:10-CV-000145-RMC (United States District Court for the District of Columbia) (the “D.C. Federal Court action”) dismissed the D.C. Federal Court action.  On August 10, 2010, Sandler v. Walton, et al., Case No. 2009 CA 008123 B (Superior Court for the District of Columbia), which was consolidated with Wienecki v. Allied Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 2009 CA 008541 B (Superior Court for the District of Columbia), was dismissed.  All of these actions had been filed by stockholders of Allied Capital challenging the Allied Acquisition and were dismissed in connection with settlements among the plaintiffs, Allied Capital and the Company.  The settlements are not, and should not be construed as, an admission of wrongdoing or liability by any defendant.  The parties considered it desirable that the actions be settled to avoid the expense, risk, inconvenience and distraction of continued litigation and to fully resolve the settled claims.

 

In addition, the Company is party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business.  Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on Ares Capital in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies.  While the outcome of any such open legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect these matters will materially affect its financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the “10-K”), those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our registration statement on Form N-2/A filed on October 5, 2010 (the “N-2/A”), and those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our prospectus supplement on Form 497 filed on October 15, 2010 (the “497”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in the 10-K, the N-2/A and the 497 are not the only risks facing the 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.
