(a)	All of the Company’s investments are issued by eligible U.S. portfolio companies, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, except for investments specifically identified as non-qualifying per note (g) below. Except for CĪON / Capitala Senior Loan Fund I, LLC, or CCSLF, the Company does not control and is not an affiliate of any of the portfolio companies in its investment portfolio. See Note 6 for a description of the Company's investment in CCSLF. Unless specifically identified, investments do not contain a paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest provision.

(b)	The 1, 3, and 6 month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, rates were 0.47%, 0.65%, and 0.92%, respectively, as of June 30, 2016. The actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2016, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to June 30, 2016.

(c)	Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see Note 9).

(d)	As discussed in Note 11, on June 30, 2016 and August 4, 2016, the Company was committed, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, to fund an additional $1,119, $1,111, and $363 to ABG Intermediate Holdings 2 LLC, Ivy Hill Middle Market Credit Fund VIII, Ltd., and Studio Movie Grill Holdings, LLC, respectively.

(e)	The CLO subordinated notes are considered equity positions in the CLO vehicles and are not rated. Equity investments are entitled to recurring distributions, which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of the payments made by the underlying vehicle's securities less contractual payments to debt holders and expenses. The estimated yield indicated is based upon a current projection of the amount and timing of these recurring distributions and the estimated amount of repayment of principal upon termination. Such projections are periodically reviewed and adjusted, and the estimated yield may not ultimately be realized.

(f)	Great Lakes CLO 2014-1 Class E Notes, Ivy Hill Middle Market Credit Fund VII Class E Notes and NXT Capital CLO 2014-1 Class E Notes were rated Ba2 on Moody's credit scale as of June 30, 2016. JFIN CLO 2014 Class E Notes were rated BB on S&P's credit scale as of June 30, 2016.

(g)	The investment or a portion thereof is not a qualifying asset under the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets as defined under Section 55 of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2016, 89.5% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets. In addition, as described in Note 7, the Company calculates its compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by treating each loan underlying the total return swap as either a qualifying asset or non-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 86.9% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets as of June 30, 2016.

(h)	Position or portion thereof unsettled as of June 30, 2016.

(i)	Short term investments represent an investment in a fund that invests in highly liquid investments with average original maturity dates of three months or less.

(j)	7-day effective yield as of June 30, 2016.

(k)	Security or a portion thereof was pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding, if any, under the revolving credit facility with East West Bank as of June 30, 2016.

(l)	Non-income producing security.

(m)	Represents amortized cost for debt securities and cost for equity investments.

(n)	For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the following investments contain a PIK interest provision whereby the issuer has either the option or the obligation to make interest payments with the issuance of additional securities:

			Interest Rate				Interest Amount
	Portfolio Company	Investment Type	Cash	PIK	All-in-Rate	Cash		PIK		Total
	Elements Behavioral Health, Inc.	Senior Secured Second Lien Debt	-	13.00%	13.00%	$	-	$	333	$	333
	Rimini Street, Inc.	Senior Secured First Lien Debt	12.00%	3.00%	15.00%	$	13	$	3	$	16
	Smile Brands Group, Inc.	Senior Secured First Lien Debt	7.50%	1.50%	9.00%	$	156	$	31	$	187
	Southcross Holdings Borrower LP(o)	Senior Secured First Lien Debt	3.50%	5.50%	9.00%	$	-	$	-	$	-

(o)	Prior to June 30, 2016, the underlying loan was assigned to the Company and removed from the TRS.

All of the Company’s investments are issued by eligible U.S. portfolio companies, as defined in the 1940 Act, except for investments specifically identified as non-qualifying per note (g) below. Except for CCSLF, the Company does not control and is not an affiliate of any of the portfolio companies in its investment portfolio. Unless specifically identified, investments do not contain a PIK interest provision.

(b)

The 1 and 3 month LIBOR rates were 0.43% and 0.61%, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. The actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of December 31, 2015, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to December 31, 2015.

Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see Note 9).

(d)

As discussed in Note 11, the Company was committed, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, to fund an additional $1,207, $1,069, and $1,128 as of December 31, 2015 and March 11, 2016 to ECI Acquisition Holdings, Inc., Studio Movie Grill Holdings, LLC, and ABG Intermediate Holdings 2 LLC, respectively.

(e)

The CLO subordinated notes are considered equity positions in the CLO vehicles and are not rated. Equity investments are entitled to recurring distributions, which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of the payments made by the underlying vehicle's securities less contractual payments to debt holders and expenses. The estimated yield indicated is based upon a current projection of the amount and timing of these recurring distributions and the estimated amount of repayment of principal upon termination. Such projections are periodically reviewed and adjusted, and the estimated yield may not ultimately be realized.

The investment is not a qualifying asset under the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets as defined under Section 55 of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2015, 90.0% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets. In addition, as described in Note 7, the Company calculates its compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by treating each loan underlying the total return swap as either a qualifying asset or non-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 87.2% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets as of December 31, 2015.

As a result, the Company entered into a new Forbearance Agreement and Eighth Amendment to Second Lien Credit Agreement, which, among other things, modified the interest rate to LIBOR plus 12% and specified that all interest shall be paid-in-kind on each interest payment date through the earlier of the forbearance period termination or September 30, 2016. The investment has not been placed on non-accrual status as the Company believes that all principal and interest is likely to be collected.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1. Organization and Principal Business

CĪON Investment Corporation, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on August 9, 2011. On December 17, 2012, the Company successfully raised gross proceeds from unaffiliated outside investors of at least $2,500, or the minimum offering requirement, and commenced operations. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the 1940 Act. The Company elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation for investors. The Company’s portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured debt, including first lien loans, second lien loans and unitranche loans, and, to a lesser extent, collateralized securities, structured products and other similar securities, unsecured debt, including corporate bonds and long-term subordinated loans, referred to as mezzanine loans, and equity of private and thinly traded U.S. middle-market companies.

The Company is managed by CĪON Investment Management, LLC, or CIM, a registered investment adviser and an affiliate of the Company. CIM oversees the management of the Company’s activities and is responsible for making investment decisions for the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company and CIM have engaged Apollo Investment Management, L.P., or AIM, a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, LLC, or, together with its subsidiaries, Apollo, a leading global alternative investment manager, to act as the Company’s investment sub-adviser. On December 7, 2015, the board of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreement with AIM for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2015.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with its audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and for the year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016. The consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2015 are derived from the 2015 audited consolidated financial statements and include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company does not consolidate its interest in CCSLF. See Note 6 for a description of the Company’s investment in CCSLF.

The Company is considered an investment company as defined in Accounting Standards Update Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, or ASU 946. Accordingly, the required disclosures as outlined in ASU 946 are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board, or the FASB, issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, or ASU 2015-02, which amends the criteria for determining which entities are considered variable interest entities, or VIEs, amends the criteria for determining if a service provider possesses a variable interest in a VIE and ends the deferral granted to investment companies for application of the VIE consolidation model. This guidance was adopted by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, no prior-period information was retrospectively adjusted as a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-02.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, or ASU 2015-03, which requires that loan costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. ASU 2015-03 requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, or ASU 2015-15, which allows an entity to continue to present line of credit issuance costs as an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line of credit. This guidance was adopted by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2016. As a result, debt issuance costs of $366 are presented as prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 as the Company has no recognized debt liability. In addition, no prior-period information was retrospectively adjusted as a result of the adoption of this guidance.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), or ASU 2015-07, which removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. This guidance was adopted by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, no prior-period information was retrospectively adjusted as a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-07.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held principally at one financial institution and at times may exceed insured limits. The Company periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of this institution and has not experienced any losses on such deposits.

Short Term Investments

Short term investments include an investment in a U.S. Treasury obligations fund, which seeks to provide current income and daily liquidity by purchasing U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements that are collateralized by such securities. The Company had $32,093 and $18,892 of such investments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which are included in investments, at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and on the consolidated schedules of investments.

Offering, Organizational and Other Pre-Effective Costs

Offering costs include, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the Company’s registration statements in connection with the continuous public offerings of the Company’s shares. Certain offering costs were funded by IIG and its affiliates and there was no liability for these offering costs to the Company until IIG and its affiliates submitted such costs for reimbursement. Upon meeting the minimum offering requirement on December 17, 2012, the Company incurred and capitalized offering costs of $1,000 that were submitted for reimbursement by IIG (see Note 4). These costs were fully amortized over a twelve month period as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value. The remaining offering costs funded by IIG and its affiliates were incurred when IIG and its affiliates submitted such costs for reimbursement during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Organizational costs include, among other things, the cost of organizing the Company as a Maryland corporation, including the cost of legal services and other fees pertaining to the organization of the Company. All organizational costs were funded by IIG and its affiliates and there was no liability for these organizational costs to the Company until IIG and its affiliates submitted such costs for reimbursement. The Company incurred these costs when IIG and its affiliates submitted such costs for reimbursement during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and distribute to shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of the Company’s “investment company taxable income”, which is generally the Company’s net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses. If the Company continues to qualify as a RIC and continues to satisfy the annual distribution requirement, the Company will not have to pay corporate level federal income taxes on any income that the Company distributes to its shareholders. The Company intends to make distributions in an amount sufficient to maintain RIC status each year and to avoid any federal income taxes on income. The Company will also be subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if the Company does not distribute at least 98.0% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of capital gains, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no federal income taxes.

Book/tax differences relating to permanent differences are reclassified among the Company’s capital accounts, as appropriate. Additionally, the tax character of distributions is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP (see Note 5).

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Recognition of a tax benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by the taxing authorities. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions during the periods presented herein.

The Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal, New York State, New York City and Maryland income tax jurisdictions for 2012, 2013, and 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may materially differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

The fair value of the Company’s investments is determined quarterly in good faith by the Company’s board of directors pursuant to its consistently applied valuation procedures and valuation process in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Inputs used to measure these fair values are classified into the following hierarchy:

Level 1	-	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by the Company at the measurement date.

Level 2	-	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3	-	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The inputs used in the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Such information may be the result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes that include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by the disclaimer would result in classification as a Level 3 asset, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.

Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy for each fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The level assigned to the investment valuations may not be indicative of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in such investments. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may differ materially from the value that would be received upon an actual sale of such investments. 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 that the Company ultimately realizes on these investments to materially differ from the valuations currently assigned.

The Company’s investments, excluding short term investments, consist primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investments. CIM attempts to obtain market quotations from at least two brokers or dealers for each investment (if available, otherwise from a principal market maker or a primary market dealer or other independent pricing service). CIM utilizes mid-market pricing to determine fair value unless a different point within the range is more representative. Because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported), the Company believes that these valuation inputs result in Level 3 classification within the fair value hierarchy.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the reasonable judgment of CIM, the price of any investment held by the Company and determined in the manner described above does not accurately reflect the fair value of such investment, CIM will value such investment at a price that reflects such investment’s fair value and report such change in the valuation to the board of directors or its designee as soon as practicable. Investments that carry certain restrictions on sale will typically be valued at a discount from the public market value of the investment.

Any investments that are not publicly traded or for which a market price is not otherwise readily available are valued at a price that reflects its fair value. With respect to such investments, the investments are reviewed and valued using one or more of the following types of analyses:

i. Market comparable statistics and public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity, minority ownership and other factors for companies with similar characteristics.

ii. Valuations implied by third-party investments in the applicable portfolio companies.

iii. Discounted cash flow analysis, including a terminal value or exit multiple.

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, these notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Below is a description of factors that the Company’s board of directors may consider when valuing the Company’s equity and debt investments where a market price is not readily available:

· the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses;

· prevailing interest rates for like securities;

· expected volatility in future interest rates;

· leverage;

· call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt;

· the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt;

· the fair market value of the portfolio company in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt;

· the quality of collateral securing the Company’s debt investments;

· multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in some cases, book value or liquidation value; and

· other factors deemed applicable.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

All of these factors may be subject to adjustment based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or the Company’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners, or acquisition, recapitalization, and restructuring expenses or other related or non-recurring items. The choice of analyses and the weight assigned to such factors may vary across investments and may change within an investment if events occur that warrant such a change.

The discounted cash flow model deemed appropriate by CIM is prepared for the applicable investments and reviewed by the Company’s valuation committee consisting of senior management. Such models are prepared at least quarterly or on an as needed basis. The model uses the estimated cash flow projections for the underlying investments and an appropriate discount rate is determined based on the latest financial information available for the borrower, prevailing market trends, comparable analysis and other inputs. The model, key assumptions, inputs, and results are reviewed by the Company’s valuation committee with final approval from the board of directors.

Consistent with the Company’s valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company’s investments are trading, in determining fair value.

The Company periodically benchmarks the broker quotes from the brokers or dealers against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of the Company’s management in purchasing and selling these investments, the Company believes that these quotes are reliable indicators of fair value. The Company may also use other methods to determine fair value for securities for which it cannot obtain market quotations through brokers or dealers, including the use of an independent valuation firm. The Company’s valuation committee and board of directors review and approve the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation process.

The value of the total return swap, or TRS, is primarily based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, as determined by the Company. The loans underlying the TRS are valued in the same manner as loans owned by the Company. As in all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy for each instrument is determined based on the lowest level of inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has classified the TRS as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant inputs. For additional information on the TRS, see Note 7.

Revenue Recognition

Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Company records interest and dividend income on an accrual basis beginning on the trade settlement date or the ex-dividend date, respectively, to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. Loan origination fees, original issue discounts, and market discounts/premiums are recorded and such amounts are amortized as adjustments to interest income over the respective term of the loan using the effective interest method. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income when it receives such amounts. In addition, the Company may generate revenue in the form of commitment, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and possibly consulting fees and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in connection with investments are recognized when earned.

The Company may have investments in its investment portfolio that contain a PIK interest provision. PIK interest is accrued as interest income, if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is collectible and recorded as interest receivable up to the interest payment date. On the interest payment dates, the Company will capitalize the accrued interest receivable attributable to PIK as additional principal due from the borrower. Additional PIK securities typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, as the original securities. In order to maintain RIC status, substantially all of this income must be paid out to shareholders in the form of distributions, even if the Company has not collected any cash. For additional information on investments that contain a PIK interest provision, see the consolidated schedules of investments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Loans and debt securities, including those that are individually identified as being impaired under Accounting Standards Codification 310, Receivables, or ASC 310, are generally placed on non-accrual status immediately if, in the opinion of management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the debt agreement, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more. Interest accrued but not collected at the date a loan or security is placed on non-accrual status is reversed against interest income. Interest income is recognized on non-accrual loans or debt securities only to the extent received in cash. However, where there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectibility of principal, cash receipts, whether designated as principal or interest, are thereafter applied to reduce the carrying value of the loan or debt security. Loans or securities are restored to accrual status only when interest and principal payments are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated by using the weighted-average method. The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the weighted-average amortized cost of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

Derivative Instrument

The Company’s only derivative instrument is the TRS. The Company marks its derivative to market through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap in the consolidated statements of operations. For additional information on the TRS, see Note 7.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee

Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement the Company entered into with CIM, the incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments of the Company’s investment portfolio during operations is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year. Such fee equals 20% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains (i.e., the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a cumulative basis and to the extent that all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation exceed realized capital gains as well as the aggregate realized net capital gains for which a fee has previously been paid, the Company would not be required to pay CIM a capital gains incentive fee. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.

CIM has not taken any incentive fees with respect to the Company’s TRS to date. For purposes of computing the capital gains incentive fee, CIM will become entitled to a capital gains incentive fee only upon the termination or disposition of the TRS, at which point all net gains and losses of the underlying loans constituting the reference assets of the TRS will be realized. Any net unrealized gains on the TRS are reflected in total assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and included in the computation of the base management fee. Any net unrealized losses on the TRS are reflected in total liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and excluded in the computation of the base management fee.

While the investment advisory agreement with CIM neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an interpretation of the American Institute for Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, the Company accrues capital gains incentive fees on unrealized gains. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to CIM if the Company’s entire investment portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though CIM is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.

Net Increase in Net Assets per Share

Net increase in net assets per share is calculated based upon the daily weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.

Distributions

Distributions to shareholders are recorded as of the record date. The amount to be paid as a distribution is determined by the board of directors on a monthly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company sold 3,152,599 and 24,598,219 shares, respectively, at an average price per share of $8.93 and $10.30, respectively.

Since commencing its initial continuous public offering on July 2, 2012 and through June 30, 2016, the Company sold 106,020,384 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,081,393 at an average price per share of $10.20. The net proceeds include gross proceeds received from reinvested shareholder distributions of $64,829, for which the Company issued 7,106,399 shares of common stock, and gross proceeds paid for shares of common stock tendered for repurchase of $15,846, for which the Company repurchased 1,758,036 shares of common stock.

During the period from July 1, 2016 to August 5, 2016, the Company sold 415,028 shares of common stock pursuant to its follow-on continuous public offering for gross proceeds of $4,060 at an average price per share of $9.78. The Company also received gross proceeds of $3,002 from reinvested shareholder distributions, for which the Company issued 336,924 shares of common stock, and paid $3,968 for shares of common stock tendered for repurchase, for which the Company repurchased 449,816 shares of common stock.

Since commencing its initial continuous public offering on July 2, 2012 and through August 5, 2016, the Company sold 106,322,520 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,084,487 at an average price per share of $10.20. The net proceeds include gross proceeds received from reinvested shareholder distributions of $67,831, for which the Company issued 7,443,323 shares of common stock, and gross proceeds paid for shares of common stock tendered for repurchase of $19,814, for which the Company repurchased 2,207,852 shares of common stock.

To ensure that the offering price per share, net of sales commissions and dealer manager fees, equaled or exceeded the net asset value per share on each subscription closing date and distribution reinvestment date, certain of the Company’s directors increased the offering price per share of common stock on certain dates. Due to a decline in the Company’s net asset value per share to an amount more than 2.5% below the Company’s then-current net offering price, certain of the Company’s directors decreased the offering price per share of common stock on certain dates.

Share Repurchase Program

Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, the Company began offering, and on a quarterly basis thereafter it intends to continue offering, to repurchase shares on such terms as may be determined by the Company’s board of directors in its complete and absolute discretion unless, in the judgment of the independent directors of the Company’s board of directors, such repurchases would not be in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders or would violate applicable law.

The Company limits the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares it can repurchase with the proceeds it receives from the issuance of shares pursuant to its fourth amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, it may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. In addition, the Company limits the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 15% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 3.75% in each quarter, though the actual number of shares that it offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company currently offers to repurchase such shares at a price equal to 90% of the offering price in effect on each date of repurchase.

On November 2, 2015, the Company amended the terms of the quarterly share repurchase program, effective as of the Company’s quarterly repurchase offer for the fourth quarter of 2015, which commenced in November 2015 and was completed in January 2016. Under the amended share repurchase program, the Company offered to repurchase shares of common stock at a price per share of $8.96, which was (i) not less than the net asset value per share immediately prior to January 4, 2016 and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share as of such date.

On January 22, 2016, the Company further amended the terms of the quarterly share repurchase program, effective as of the Company’s quarterly repurchase offer for the first quarter of 2016, which commenced in February 2016 and was completed in April 2016. Under the further amended share repurchase program, the Company will offer to repurchase shares of common stock at a price equal to 90% of the public offering price in effect on each date of repurchase.

Any periodic repurchase offers are subject in part to the Company’s available cash and compliance with the BDC and RIC qualification and diversification rules promulgated under the 1940 Act and the Code, respectively. While the Company conducts quarterly tender offers as described above, it is not required to do so and may suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time, upon 30 days’ notice.

The Company has entered into certain agreements with CIM’s affiliate, CĪON Securities, LLC, formerly known as ICON Securities, LLC, or CĪON Securities, whereby the Company pays certain fees and reimbursements. CĪON Securities is entitled to receive a 3% dealer manager fee from gross offering proceeds from the sale of the Company’s shares. The selling dealers are entitled to receive a sales commission of up to 7% of gross offering proceeds. Such costs are charged against capital in excess of par value when incurred. Since commencing its initial continuous public offering on July 2, 2012 and through August 5, 2016, the Company paid or accrued sales commissions of $62,119 to the selling dealers and dealer manager fees of $30,414 to CĪON Securities.

The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement with CIM. On December 7, 2015, the board of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2015. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CIM is paid an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets, less cash and cash equivalents, and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance, as described below. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated based on the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, measured quarterly and expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the investment advisory agreement, equal to 1.875% per quarter, or an annualized rate of 7.5%. The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is described in Note 2. Refer to Note 7 for a discussion of CIM’s entitlement to receive incentive fees and the Company’s accrual of the incentive fee on capital gains with respect to the TRS.

The Company accrues the capital gains incentive fee based on net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation; however, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the fee payable to CIM is based on net realized gains and unrealized depreciation and no such fee is payable with respect to unrealized appreciation unless and until such appreciation is actually realized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded capital gains incentive fees of ($243) and $1,211, respectively, related to the change in unrealized (deprecation) appreciation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not record any capital gains incentive fees. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had no liability for capital gains incentive fees.

With respect to the TRS, CIM will become entitled to receive a capital gains incentive fee only upon the termination or disposition of the TRS, at which point all net gains and losses of the underlying loans constituting the reference assets of the TRS will be realized. See Note 2 and Note 7 for an additional discussion of CIM’s entitlement to receive payment of incentive fees and the Company’s accrual of the incentive fee on capital gains with respect to the TRS.

The Company entered into an administration agreement with CIM’s affiliate, ICON Capital, LLC, or ICON Capital, pursuant to which ICON Capital furnishes the Company with administrative services including accounting, investor relations and other administrative services necessary to conduct its day-to-day operations. On December 7, 2015, the board of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the administration agreement for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2015. ICON Capital is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on the Company’s behalf in performing its obligations, provided that such reimbursement will be for the lower of ICON Capital’s actual costs or the amount that the Company would be required to pay for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location. Such costs will be reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. The Company will not reimburse ICON Capital for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a person with a controlling interest in ICON Capital.

Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, CIM and certain of its affiliates, which includes IIG, are entitled to receive reimbursement of up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds raised until all offering and organizational costs have been reimbursed. The Company’s payment of offering and organizational costs will not exceed 1.5% of the actual gross proceeds raised from the offerings (without giving effect to any potential expense support from IIG and its affiliates). If the Company sells the maximum number of shares at its latest public offering price of $9.95 per share, the Company estimates that it may incur up to approximately $30,274 of expenses. With respect to any reimbursements for offering and organizational costs, the Company will interpret the 1.5% limit based on actual gross proceeds raised at the time of such reimbursement. In addition, the Company will not issue any of its shares or other securities for services or for property other than cash or securities except as a dividend or distribution to its security holders or in connection with a reorganization.

From inception through December 31, 2012, IIG and its affiliates incurred offering, organizational and other pre-effective costs of $2,012. Of these costs, $1,812 represented offering and organizational costs, all of which have been submitted to the Company for reimbursement. The Company paid $450 in October 2013, $550 in March 2014, $592 in May 2014 and $420 in March 2015. No additional material offering, organizational or other pre-effective costs have been incurred by IIG or its affiliates subsequent to December 31, 2012.

Reinvestment of shareholder distributions and share repurchases are excluded from the gross proceeds from the Company’s offerings for purposes of determining the total amount of offering and organizational costs that can be paid by the Company. As of June 30, 2016, the Company raised gross offering proceeds of $1,032,410, of which it can pay up to $15,486 in offering and organizational costs (which represents 1.5% of the actual gross offering proceeds raised). Through June 30, 2016, the Company paid $8,790 of such costs, leaving an additional $6,696 that can be paid. As of August 5, 2016, the Company raised gross offering proceeds of $1,036,470, of which it can pay up to $15,547 in offering and organizational costs (which represents 1.5% of the actual gross offering proceeds raised). Through August 5, 2016, the Company paid $8,875 of such costs, leaving an additional $6,672 that can be paid.

On January 30, 2013, the Company entered into the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with IIG, whereby IIG agreed to provide expense support to the Company in an amount that is sufficient to: (1) ensure that no portion of the Company’s distributions to shareholders will be paid from its offering proceeds or borrowings, and/or (2) reduce the Company’s operating expenses until it has achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that it bears a reasonable level of expense in relation to its investment income. On December 13, 2013 and January 16, 2015, the Company and IIG amended the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement to extend the termination date of such agreement from January 30, 2014 to January 30, 2015 and from January 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015, respectively. On December 16, 2015, the Company further amended and restated the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement for purposes of including AIM as a party to the agreement and extending the termination date from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016. Commencing with the quarter beginning January 1, 2016, IIG and AIM each agrees to provide expense support to the Company for 50% of its expenses as described above.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not receive any expense support from IIG or AIM.

Pursuant to the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, the Company will have a conditional obligation to reimburse IIG for any amounts funded by IIG under such agreement (i) if expense support amounts funded by IIG exceed operating expenses incurred during any fiscal quarter, (ii) if the sum of the Company’s net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by the Company to shareholders, and (iii) during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which IIG funded such amount. Pursuant to the second amended and restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, the Company will have a conditional obligation to reimburse IIG and AIM for any amounts funded by IIG and AIM under the same circumstances described above. The obligation to reimburse IIG and AIM for any expense support provided by IIG and AIM under such agreement is further conditioned by the following: (i) in the period in which reimbursement is sought, the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets, when considering the reimbursement, cannot exceed the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets, as defined, for the period when the expense support was provided; (ii) in the period when reimbursement is sought, the annualized distribution rate cannot fall below the annualized distribution rate for the period when the expense support was provided; and (iii) the expense support can only be reimbursed within three years from the date the expense support was provided.

Recoupment of expense support will be determined as appropriate to meet the objectives of the second amended and restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded obligations to repay expense support from IIG of $548 and $667, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company repaid expense support to IIG of $119 and $599, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded obligations to repay expense support from IIG of $1,592 and $2,429, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repaid expense support to IIG of $837. The Company may or may not be requested to reimburse any remaining expense support in the future.

The Company, AIM, or IIG may terminate the second amended and restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement at any time. IIG and AIM have indicated that they expect to continue such expense support until they believe that the Company has achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that it bears a reasonable level of expenses in relation to its income. If the Company terminates the investment advisory agreement with CIM and/or the investment sub-advisory agreement with AIM, the Company may be required to repay IIG and AIM all unreimbursed expense support funded by IIG and AIM within three years of the date of termination. The specific amount of expense support provided by IIG and AIM, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. There can be no assurance that the second amended and restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that IIG and AIM will support any portion of the Company’s expenses in future quarters.

The table below presents a summary of all expenses supported by IIG for each of the following three month periods in which the Company received expense support from IIG and the associated dates through which such expenses are eligible for reimbursement from the Company.

(1)	Operating expenses include all expenses borne by the Company, except for offering and organizational costs, base management fees, incentive fees, administrative services expenses, other general and administrative expenses owed to CIM and its affiliates, and interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the ratio of operating expense to average net assets was 0.11%.

(2)	The Company did not declare any distributions during the three months ended December 31, 2012.

(3)	Annualized Distribution Rate equals the annualized rate of distributions paid to shareholders based on the amount of the regular cash distributions paid immediately prior to the date the expense support payment obligation was incurred by IIG. Annualized Distribution Rate does not include special cash or stock distributions paid to shareholders. The Annualized Distribution Rate is calculated based on the maximum historical offering price at each record date.

(4)	As of June 30, 2016, expense support recoupments of $548 were payable to IIG.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total liability payable to CIM and its affiliates was $5,683 and $5,735, respectively, which primarily related to fees earned by CIM during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Because CIM’s senior management team is comprised of substantially the same personnel as the senior management team of the Company’s affiliate, ICON Capital, which is the investment manager to certain equipment finance funds, or equipment funds, such members of senior management provide investment advisory and management services to the equipment funds in addition to the Company. In the event that CIM undertakes to provide investment advisory services to other clients in the future, it will strive to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with the Company’s investment objective and strategies so that the Company will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of the investment adviser or its senior management team. However, it is currently possible that some investment opportunities will be provided to the equipment funds or other clients of CIM rather than to the Company.

Indemnifications

The investment advisory agreement, the investment sub-advisory agreement, the administration agreement and the dealer manager agreement each provide certain indemnifications from the Company to the other relevant parties to such agreements. The Company’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown. However, the Company has not experienced claims or losses pursuant to these agreements and believes the risk of loss related to such indemnifications to be remote.

Note 5. Distributions

The Company’s board of directors authorizes and declares on a monthly basis a weekly distribution amount per share of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions for 52 and 26 record dates, respectively. Declared distributions are paid monthly.

The following table presents cash distributions per share that were declared during the year ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2016:

Total distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2016	$	0.3658	$	38,171

On June 14, 2016, the Company’s board of directors declared four weekly cash distributions of $0.014067 per share, which were paid on July 27, 2016 to shareholders of record on July 5, July 12, July 19, and July 26, 2016. On July 19, 2016, the Company’s board of directors declared five weekly cash distributions of $0.014067 per share, payable on August 31, 2016 to shareholders of record on August 2, August 9, August 16, August 23, and August 30, 2016.

The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for shareholders. As a result, if the Company makes a distribution, shareholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the fourth amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

On November 2, 2015, the Company further amended and restated its distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to the third amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan, or the Third Amended DRIP. The Third Amended DRIP was effective as of, and first applied to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after, the closing of the Company’s initial continuous public offering on December 31, 2015. Prior to the Third Amended DRIP, cash distributions to participating shareholders were reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a purchase price equal to 90% of the public offering price per share in effect as of the date of issuance. Under the Third Amended DRIP, cash distributions to participating shareholders were reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a purchase price determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that was (i) not less than the net asset value per share determined in good faith by the board of directors or a committee thereof, in their sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution, or the NAV Per Share, and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the NAV Per Share as of such date. The purchase price determined for the January and February 2016 reinvestment of cash distributions under the Third Amended DRIP was $8.63 and $8.45 per share, respectively.

On January 22, 2016, the Company further amended and restated its distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to the fourth amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan, or the Fourth Amended DRIP. The Fourth Amended DRIP became effective as of, and first applied to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on, March 30, 2016. Under the Fourth Amended DRIP, cash distributions to participating shareholders will be reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a purchase price equal to 90% of the public offering price per share in effect as of the date of issuance.

The Company may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense support from IIG and AIM, which is subject to recoupment. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. Through December 31, 2014, a portion of the Company’s distributions resulted from expense support from IIG, and future distributions may result from expense support from IIG and AIM, each of which is subject to repayment by the Company within three years. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid such distributions being characterized as a return of capital. Shareholders should understand that any such distributions are not based on the Company’s investment performance, and can only be sustained if the Company achieves positive investment performance in future periods and/or IIG and AIM continue to provide such expense support. Shareholders should also understand that the Company’s future repayments of expense support will reduce the distributions that they would otherwise receive. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve such performance in order to sustain these distributions, or be able to pay distributions at all. IIG and AIM have no obligation to provide expense support to the Company in future periods.

The following table reflects the sources of cash distributions on a GAAP basis that the Company has declared on its shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016					2015
Source of Distribution	Per Share		Amount		Percentage	Per Share		Amount		Percentage
Net investment income	$	0.1996	$	20,831	54.6%	$	0.1012	$	6,637	27.7%
Net realized gain on total return swap
Net interest and other income from TRS portfolio		0.1555		16,225	42.5%		0.2112		13,853	57.7%
Net gain on TRS loan sales(2)		0.0040		416	1.1%		0.0193		1,269	5.3%

Distributions in excess of net investment income(1)		-		-	-		0.0253		1,656	6.9%
Total distributions	$	0.3658	$	38,171	100.0%	$	0.3658	$	23,990	100.0%


(1)	Distributions in excess of net investment income represent certain expenses, which are not deductible on a tax-basis. Unearned capital gains incentive fees and certain offering expenses reduce GAAP basis net investment income, but do not reduce tax basis net investment income. These tax-related adjustments represent additional net investment income available for distribution for tax purposes.

(2)	During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company realized losses of $1,030, which are not currently deductible on a tax-basis.

It is the Company's policy to comply with all requirements of the Code applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Company intends not to be subject to corporate level federal income tax or federal excise taxes. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision was required.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with the Code and federal tax regulations, which may differ from amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. These book/tax differences, which could be material, are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investments held by the Company. Permanent book/tax differences result in reclassifications to capital in excess of par value, accumulated undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed realized gain on investments, and accumulated undistributed realized gain on total return swap. During 2015, permanent differences primarily due to the treatment of TRS and non-deductible offering costs resulted in a net decrease in distributions in excess of net investment income, a net decrease in accumulated realized gains and a net decrease to capital in excess of par value. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets.

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year based upon the Company’s taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. The tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders are reported to shareholders annually on Form 1099-DIV. All distributions for 2015 were characterized as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The tax components of accumulated earnings for the current year will be determined at year end. As of December 31, 2015, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	December 31, 2015
Net unrealized depreciation on investments and total return swap	$	(64,137)
Total accumulated earnings	$	(64,137)

As of June 30, 2016, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $4,855; the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $61,084; the net unrealized depreciation was $56,229; and the aggregate cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes was $764,426.

As of December 31, 2015, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $3,728; the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $67,865; the net unrealized depreciation was $64,137; and the aggregate cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes was $699,036.

CĪON / Capitala Senior Loan Fund I, LLC

On June 24, 2015, the Company entered into a joint venture with Capitala Finance Corp., or Capitala, to create CCSLF. CCSLF is expected to invest primarily in senior secured loans. All portfolio and other material decisions regarding CCSLF must be submitted to its board of managers, which is comprised of four members, two of whom were selected by the Company and the other two were selected by Capitala. Further, all portfolio and other material decisions require the affirmative vote of at least one member from the Company and one member from Capitala.

The Company and Capitala have committed to provide an aggregate of up to $50,000 of equity to CCSLF, with the Company providing up to $40,000 and Capitala providing up to $10,000. In addition, CCSLF intends to obtain third party asset-level financing. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, CCSLF held no assets and generated no net income and as a result, is not included on the Company’s consolidated schedules of investments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. If and when the Company and Capitala fund CCSLF with new investments, CCSLF will be presented as a controlled investment as defined by the 1940 Act. An investment is controlled under the 1940 Act when a company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities or maintains the ability to nominate greater than 50% of the portfolio company's board representation.

The Company has determined that CCSLF is an investment company under ASC 946. However, in accordance with such guidance, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly owned investment company or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate CCSLF.

As of August 4, 2016, the Company’s unfunded commitment to CCSLF was $40,000.

The following tables show the composition of the Company’s investment portfolio by industry classification and geographic dispersion, and the percentage, by fair value, of the total investment portfolio assets in such industries and geographies as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were no delinquent investments or investments on non-accrual status.

Except for CCSLF, the Company does not “control” and is not an “affiliate” of any of its portfolio companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company or issuer if the Company owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an “affiliate” of a portfolio company or issuer if the Company owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

The Company’s investment portfolio may contain senior secured investments that are in the form of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, or unfunded commitments, which may require the Company to provide funding when requested in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s unfunded commitments amounted to $102,593 and $43,404, respectively. As of August 4, 2016, the Company’s unfunded commitments amounted to $45,093. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. Refer to Note 11 for further details on the Company’s unfunded commitments.

Note 7. Total Return Swap

On December 17, 2012, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Flatiron Funding, LLC, or Flatiron, entered into a TRS with Citibank, N.A., or Citibank. Effective December 9, 2013, Flatiron and Citibank amended the TRS to, among other things, increase the maximum aggregate market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) from $150,000 to $225,000, and increase the interest rate payable by Flatiron to Citibank with respect to each loan included in the TRS by increasing the spread over the floating rate index specified for each such loan from 1.25% to 1.35% per year. Flatiron and Citibank further amended the TRS to increase the maximum aggregate market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS to $275,000 effective February 18, 2014, to $325,000 effective April 30, 2014, to $375,000 effective July 30, 2014, to $475,000 effective September 5, 2014, to $600,000 effective January 20, 2015, to $750,000 effective March 4, 2015 and to $800,000 effective March 22, 2016. Effective October 2, 2015, Flatiron and Citibank amended the TRS to extend the termination or call date from December 17, 2015 to March 17, 2016 and to provide that the floating rate index specified for each loan included in the TRS will not be less than zero. On December 22, 2015, Flatiron and Citibank further amended the TRS to reduce the ramp-down period from 90 days to 30 days prior to the termination date, which represents the period when reinvestment is no longer permitted under the terms of the TRS. Effective February 18, 2016, Flatiron and Citibank further amended the TRS to extend the termination or call date from March 17, 2016 to February 18, 2017, and increase the interest rate payable by Flatiron to Citibank with respect to each loan included in the TRS by increasing the spread over the floating rate index specified for each such loan from 1.35% to 1.40% per year. The agreements between Flatiron and Citibank, which collectively establish the TRS, are referred to herein as the TRS Agreement.

A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of and interest payments from the assets underlying the TRS in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. A TRS effectively adds leverage to a portfolio by providing investment exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing directly in such market. Because of the unique structure of a TRS, a TRS typically offers lower financing costs than are offered through more traditional borrowing arrangements.

The TRS with Citibank enables the Company, through its ownership of Flatiron, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the TRS, without actually owning them, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to Flatiron borrowing funds to acquire loans and incurring interest expense to a lender. Under the terms of the TRS Agreement, each asset underlying the TRS constitutes a separate total return swap transaction, although all calculations and payments required to be made under the TRS Agreement are calculated and treated on an aggregate basis, based upon all such transactions.

The obligations of Flatiron under the TRS are non-recourse to the Company and the Company’s exposure under the TRS is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Flatiron, which generally will equal the value of cash collateral provided by Flatiron under the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Flatiron may select loans with a maximum aggregate market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $800,000. Flatiron is required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of each loan (generally 25% of the market value of such loan) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the TRS Agreement. Under the terms of the TRS, Flatiron agreed not to draw upon, or post as collateral, such cash collateral in respect of other financings or operating requirements prior to the termination of the TRS. Neither the cash collateral required to be posted with Citibank nor any other assets of Flatiron are available to pay the debts of the Company.

Unless otherwise specified, each individual loan must meet the obligation criteria described in the TRS Agreement, which includes requirements that the loan be rated by Moody’s and S&P, be part of a loan facility of at least $125 million and have at least two bid quotations from a nationally-recognized pricing service. Under the terms of the TRS, Citibank, as calculation agent, determines whether there has been a failure to satisfy the obligation criteria for each loan in the TRS. If such failure continues for 30 days following the delivery of notice thereof, then Citibank has the right, but not the obligation, to remove the underlying loan from the TRS either through a sale negotiated by the Company or the price determined by Citibank. Citibank also determines whether there has been a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria in the TRS, which includes limits on issuer and industry concentration as well as Moody’s and S&P credit metrics. If such failure continues for 30 days following the delivery of notice thereof, then Citibank has the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the TRS. Flatiron receives from Citibank all interest and fees payable in respect of the loans included in the TRS. Flatiron pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to, in respect of each loan included in the TRS, the floating rate index specified for such loan, which will not be less than zero, plus 1.40% per year. In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Flatiron will either receive from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.

Under the terms of the TRS, Flatiron may be required to post additional cash collateral, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of depreciation in the value of the underlying loans after such value decreases below a specified amount. The limit on the additional collateral that Flatiron may be required to post pursuant to the TRS is equal to the difference between the full notional amount of the loans underlying the TRS and the amount of cash collateral already posted by Flatiron. The amount of collateral required to be posted by Flatiron is determined primarily on the basis of the aggregate value of the underlying loans.

The Company has no contractual obligation to post any such additional collateral or to make any interest payments to Citibank on behalf of Flatiron. The Company may, but is not obligated to, increase its investment in Flatiron for the purpose of funding any additional collateral or payment obligations for which Flatiron may become obligated during the term of the TRS. If the Company does not make any such additional investment in Flatiron and Flatiron fails to meet its obligations under the TRS, then Citibank will have the right to terminate the TRS and seize the cash collateral posted by Flatiron under the TRS. In the event of an early termination of the TRS, Flatiron would be required to pay an early termination fee.

Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after February 18, 2017, or the call date. Flatiron may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing no more than 30 days prior notice to Citibank. Any termination prior to the call date will result in payment of an early termination fee to Citibank based on the maximum portfolio amount of the TRS. Under the terms of the TRS, the early termination fee will equal the present value of a stream of monthly payments that would be owed by Flatiron to Citibank for the period from the termination date through and including the call date. Such monthly payments will equal the product of 80% of the maximum portfolio amount, multiplied by the spread over the floating index rate. The Company estimates the early termination fee would have been approximately $5,770 at June 30, 2016. Flatiron may also be required to pay a minimum usage fee in connection with the TRS. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Flatiron owed Citibank a minimum usage fee of $7 and $4, respectively.

The value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, as determined by the Company. The loans underlying the TRS are valued in the same manner as loans owned by the Company. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of the TRS was ($27,601) and ($34,900), respectively. The fair value of the TRS is reflected as unrealized depreciation on total return swap on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The change in value of the TRS is reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Flatiron had selected 85 and 90 underlying loans with a total notional amount of $689,708 and $718,025, respectively. For the same periods, Flatiron posted $217,831 and $226,316 in cash collateral held by Citibank (of which only $180,351 and $187,802 was required to be posted), which is reflected in due from counterparty on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Receivable due on total return swap is composed of any amounts due from Citibank that consist of earned but not yet collected net interest and fees and net gains on sales and principal repayments of underlying loans of the TRS. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the receivable due on total return swap consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Interest and other income from TRS portfolio	$	8,690	$	8,882
Interest and other expense from TRS portfolio		(2,656)		(2,309)
Net gain (loss) on TRS loan sales		542		(398)
Receivable due on total return swap	$	6,576	$	6,175

Realized gains and losses on the TRS are composed of any gains or losses on loans underlying the TRS as well as net interest and fees earned during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the net realized gain on the TRS consisted of the following:

		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
		2016		2015		2016		2015
Interest and other income from TRS portfolio	$	11,621	$	9,955	$	23,267	$	18,369
Interest and other expense from TRS portfolio		(3,589)		(2,509)		(7,042)		(4,515)
Net (loss) gain on TRS loan sales		(783)		1,069		(614)		1,268
Net realized gain (1)	$	7,249	$	8,515	$	15,611	$	15,122


(1)	Net realized gain is reflected in net realized gain on total return swap on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the TRS, Flatiron is required to comply with various covenants and reporting requirements as defined in the TRS Agreement. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, Flatiron was in compliance with all covenants and reporting requirements.

CIM has not taken any incentive fees with respect to the Company’s TRS to date. For purposes of computing the capital gains incentive fee, CIM will become entitled to a capital gains incentive fee only upon the termination or disposition of the TRS, at which point all gains and losses of the underlying loans constituting the reference assets of the TRS will be realized. For purposes of computing the subordinated incentive fee on income, CIM is not entitled to a subordinated incentive fee on income with respect to the TRS. The net unrealized appreciation on the TRS, if any, is reflected in total assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and included in the computation of the base management fee. The base management fee does not include any net unrealized depreciation on the TRS as such amounts are not included in total assets.

While the investment advisory agreement with CIM neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an interpretation of the AICPA Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, the Company accrues capital gains incentive fees on unrealized gains. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to CIM if the Company’s entire investment portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though CIM is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.

For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company as a BDC, the Company treats the outstanding notional amount of the TRS, less the total amount of cash collateral posted by Flatiron under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC.

Further, for purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, the Company treats each loan underlying the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible portfolio company and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

During the period from July 1, 2016 to August 4, 2016, the notional amount of TRS decreased from $689,708 to $511,305 primarily due to net sales of underlying loans subject to the TRS of $178,894.

(a)	All of the underlying loans subject to the TRS are issued by eligible U.S. portfolio companies, as defined in the 1940 Act, except for investments specifically identified as non-qualifying per note (d) below. The Company does not control and is not an affiliate of any of the companies that are issuers of the underlying loans subject to the TRS.

(b)	The 1, 3, and 6 month LIBOR rates were 0.47%, 0.65% and 0.92%, respectively, as of June 30, 2016. The actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2016, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to June 30, 2016.

(c)	Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see Note 9).

(d)	All or a portion of the underlying loan subject to the TRS is not a qualifying asset under the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets as defined under Section 55 of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2016, 89.5% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets. In addition, as described in this Note 7, the Company calculates its compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by treating each loan underlying the TRS as either a qualifying asset or non-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 86.9% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets as of June 30, 2016.

(e)	For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the following underlying loans subject to the TRS contain a PIK interest provision whereby the issuer has either the option or the obligation to make interest payments with the issuance of additional securities:

			Interest Rate				Interest Amount
	Issuer of Underlying Loan	Investment Type	Cash	PIK	All-in-Rate	Cash		PIK			Total
	Smile Brands Group, Inc.	Senior Secured First Lien Debt	7.50%	1.50%	9.00%	$	181	$	36	$	217
	Southcross Holdings Borrower LP(f)	Senior Secured First Lien Debt	3.50%	5.50%	9.00%	$	1	$	1	$	2

(f)	Prior to June 30, 2016, the underlying loan was assigned to the Company and removed from the TRS.

The 1, 2, 3, and 6 month LIBOR rates were 0.43%, 0.51%, 0.61% and 0.85%, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. The actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of December 31, 2015, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to December 31, 2015. The prime rate was 3.50% as of December 31, 2015.

(c)

Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see Note 9).

(d)

Position or portion thereof unsettled as of December 31, 2015.

(e)

All or a portion of the underlying loan subject to the TRS is not a qualifying asset under the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets as defined under Section 55 of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2015, 90.0% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets. In addition, as described in this Note 7, the Company calculates its compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by treating each loan underlying the TRS as either a qualifying asset or non-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 87.2% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets as of December 31, 2015.

(f)

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the following underlying loan subject to the TRS contains a PIK interest provision whereby the issuer has either the option or the obligation to make interest payments with the issuance of additional securities:

Note 8. Credit Facility

East West Bank Credit Facility

On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility, or the EWB Credit Facility, with East West Bank, or EWB. The EWB Credit Facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $40,000, subject to certain conditions, and the Company is required to maintain $2,000 in a demand deposit account with EWB at all times. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and reporting requirements under the EWB Credit Facility.

Advances under the EWB Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to (i) the greater of 3.25% per year or the variable rate of interest per year announced by EWB as its prime rate, which was 3.50% at June 30, 2016, plus (ii) a spread of 0.75%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Each advance under the EWB Credit Facility will be due and payable on the earlier of 90 days from the date such advance was made by EWB, or April 27, 2017. The Company may prepay any advance without penalty or premium. The Company will be subject to a non-usage fee of 0.50% per year on the average amount, if any, of the aggregate principal amount available under the EWB Credit Facility that has not been borrowed, payable at the end of each quarter. The non-usage fee, if any, is payable quarterly in arrears. The Company’s obligations to EWB under the EWB Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in certain eligible investments in which the Company has a beneficial interest, as updated from time to time.

On January 28, 2016, the Company entered into the first amendment to the EWB Credit Facility with EWB. Under the original EWB Credit Facility, the borrowing base was the lesser of (i) the average monthly net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its equity securities during the trailing three month period ending on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month; or (ii) 50% of collateral securing the EWB Credit Facility. Under the first amendment, during the period commencing on January 30, 2016 through July 31, 2016, (i) the trailing equity component of the borrowing base was removed; (ii) the borrowing base was decreased to 40% of the collateral securing the EWB Credit Facility; and (iii) the required minimum fair market value of the collateral securing the EWB Credit Facility was increased from two to two and one-half times all outstanding advances under the EWB Credit Facility. Prior to entering into the second amendment to the EWB Credit Facility (as described below), these amended provisions were scheduled to revert back to their original terms on July 31, 2016.

On April 21, 2016, the Company entered into the second amendment to the EWB Credit Facility with EWB. Under the second amendment, the date after which the amended provisions of the first amendment will revert back to their original terms was extended from July 31, 2016 to September 30, 2016 and the maturity date of the EWB Credit Facility was extended from April 29, 2016 to April 27, 2017.

As of August 5, 2016 and during the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the EWB Credit Facility.

The Company incurred costs of $278 in connection with obtaining the EWB Credit Facility, which the Company initially recorded as prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense over the initial life of the EWB Credit Facility. On April 21, 2016, the Company incurred additional costs of $200 in connection with the second amendment to the EWB Credit Facility, which the Company initially recorded as prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and amortizes to interest expense over the life of the EWB Credit Facility pursuant to the second amendment. As of June 30, 2016, $166 of such costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the components of interest expense were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Amortization of deferred financing costs	$	56	$	46	$	125	$	46

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s senior secured first lien debt, senior secured second lien debt, collateralized securities and structured products, unsecured debt, equity, and total return swap are discount rates and broker quotes. A significant increase or decrease in discount rates would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively. A significant increase or decrease in the broker quotes would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s unfunded commitments were as follows:

Unfunded Commitments	June 30, 2016(1)		December 31, 2015(1)
CCSLF(2)(3)	$	40,000	$	40,000

ECI Acquisition Holdings, Inc.		-		1,207
Total	$	102,593	$	43,404

(1)	Unless otherwise noted, the funding criteria for these unfunded commitments had not been met at the date indicated.

(2)	See Note 6 for a further description of our investment in CCSLF.

(3)	As of August 4, 2016, the Company's unfunded commitments were to portfolio companies ABG Intermediate Holdings 2 LLC, Ivy Hill Middle Market Credit Fund VIII, Ltd., and Studio Movie Grill Holdings, LLC in the amount of $1,119, $1,111 and $363, respectively, and also included an unfunded commitment of $40,000 to CCSLF. In addition, subsequent to June 30, 2016, the Company entered into a $2,500 revolving loan commitment with Elemica Holdings, Inc., which was unfunded as of August 4, 2016.

(4)	This unfunded commitment expired prior to August 4, 2016 without being funded.

Unfunded commitments to provide funds to companies are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. The Company intends to use cash on hand, short-term investments and other liquid assets to fund these commitments should the need arise. For information on the companies to which the Company is committed to fund additional amounts as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, refer to the table above and the consolidated schedules of investments.

The Company will fund its unfunded commitments from the same sources it uses to fund its investment commitments that are funded at the time they are made (i.e., advances from its revolving credit facility and/or cash flows from operations). The Company will not fund its unfunded commitments from future net proceeds generated by securities offerings. The Company follows a process to manage its liquidity and ensure that it has available capital to fund its unfunded commitments. Specifically, the Company prepares detailed analyses of the level of its unfunded commitments relative to its then available liquidity on a daily basis. These analyses are reviewed and discussed on a weekly basis by the Company’s executive officers and senior members of CIM (including members of the investment committee) and are updated on a “real time” basis in order to ensure that the Company has adequate liquidity to satisfy its unfunded commitments.

The Company does not include its unfunded capital commitment to CCSLF as a senior security for the asset coverage ratio, as the capital commitments cannot be drawn without an affirmative vote by one of the Company’s representatives on CCSLF’s board of managers.

Note 12. Fee Income

Fee income consists of commitment fees and amendment fees. The following table summarizes the Company’s fee income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Commitment fees	$	100	$	250	$	251	$	718
Amendment fees		3		21		44		23
Total	$	103	$	271	$	295	$	741

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, all fee income was non-recurring.

(1)	The per share data for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was derived by using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during each period.

(2)	Net investment income per share includes expense recoupments to IIG of $0.01 and $0.04 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There was no expense support from IIG or AIM for the six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015.

(3)	The amount shown for net realized gain and net change in unrealized appreciation on investments is the balancing figure derived from the other figures in the schedule. The amount shown at this caption for a share outstanding throughout the period may not agree with the change in the aggregate gains and losses in portfolio securities for the period because of the timing of sales and repurchases of the Company’s shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio. As a result, net increase in net assets resulting from operations in this schedule may vary from the consolidated statements of operations.

(4)	Distributions in excess of net investment income represent certain expenses, which are not deductible on a tax-basis. Unearned capital gains incentive fees and certain offering expenses reduce GAAP basis net investment income, but do not reduce tax basis net investment income. These tax-related adjustments represent additional net investment income available for distribution for tax purposes.

(5)	The continuous issuance of shares of common stock may cause an incremental increase in net asset value per share due to the sale of shares at the then prevailing public offering price and the receipt of net proceeds per share by the Company in excess of net asset value per share on each subscription closing date. The per share impact of the continuous issuance of shares of common stock was an increase to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

(6)	Repurchases of common stock may cause an incremental decrease in net asset value per share due to the repurchase of shares at a price in excess of net asset value per share on each repurchase date. The per share impact of repurchases of common stock was a decrease to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

(7)	Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held the Company’s common stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions paid or payable during the period. Total investment return-net asset value is based on (i) the beginning period net asset value per share on the first day of the period, (ii) the net asset value per share on the last day of the period of (A) one share plus (B) any fractional shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of monthly distributions, and (iii) the value of distributions payable, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return-net asset value calculation assumes that monthly cash distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company's distribution reinvestment plan then in effect as described in Note 5. The total investment return-net asset value does not consider the effect of the sales load from the sale of the Company’s common stock. The total investment return-net asset value includes the effect of the issuance of shares at a net offering price that is greater than net asset value per share, which causes an increase in net asset value per share. Total returns covering less than a full year are not annualized.

(8)	Excluding the recoupment of expense support to IIG during the period, the ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have been 2.43% and 1.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(9)	Ratio of gross operating expenses to average net assets does not include expense support provided by IIG and/or AIM, if any.

(10)	The ratio of gross expense recoupments to IIG to average net assets for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was (0.07%) and (0.40%), respectively.

(11)	In order to record an obligation to reimburse IIG for expense support provided, the ratio of gross operating expenses to average net assets, when considering the recoupment, in the period in which recoupment is sought cannot exceed the ratio of gross operating expenses to average net assets for the period when the expense support was provided. For purposes of this calculation, gross operating expenses include all expenses borne by the Company, except for offering and organizational costs, base management fees, incentive fees, administrative services expenses, other general and administrative expenses owed to CIM and its affiliates and interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the ratio of gross operating expenses to average net assets, when considering recoupment to IIG, was 0.26% and 0.39%, respectively.

(12)	Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of year-to-date sales or purchases over the average of the invested assets at fair value, excluding short term investments, and is not annualized.

(13)	Asset coverage ratio is equal to (i) the sum of (a) net assets at the end of the period and (b) total senior securities outstanding at the end of the period (excluding unfunded commitments), divided by (ii) total senior securities outstanding at the end of the period. For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company as a BDC, the Company treats the outstanding TRS notional amount at the end of the period, less the total amount of cash collateral posted by Flatiron under the TRS, as well as unfunded commitments (as of June 30, 2015 only), as senior securities. The Company does not include its unfunded capital commitment to CCSLF as a senior security for the asset coverage ratio, as the capital commitment cannot be drawn without an affirmative vote by one of the Company's representatives on CCSLF's board of managers.

Overview

We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on August 9, 2011 and commenced operations on December 17, 2012 upon raising proceeds of $2,500 from persons not affiliated with us, CIM or Apollo. We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Code.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation for investors. Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured debt, including first lien loans, second lien loans and unitranche loans, and, to a lesser extent, collateralized securities, structured products and other similar securities, unsecured debt, including corporate bonds and long-term subordinated loans, referred to as mezzanine loans, and equity of private and thinly traded U.S. middle-market companies. In connection with our debt investments, we may receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also purchase minority interests in the form of common or preferred equity in our target companies, either in conjunction with one of our debt investments or through a co-investment with a financial sponsor.

We are managed by CIM, our affiliate and a registered investment adviser. CIM oversees the management of our activities and is responsible for making investment decisions for our portfolio. We and CIM have engaged AIM to act as our investment sub-adviser. On December 7, 2015, our board of directors, including a majority of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement with CIM and the investment sub-advisory agreement with AIM, each for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2015.

We seek to meet our investment objective by utilizing the experienced management teams of both CIM and AIM, which includes their access to the relationships and human capital of Apollo, IIG and ICON Capital, in sourcing, evaluating and structuring transactions. We focus primarily on the senior secured debt of private and thinly-traded U.S. middle-market companies, which we define as companies that generally possess annual EBITDA of $50 million or less, with experienced management teams, significant free cash flow, strong competitive positions and potential for growth.

Revenue

We primarily generate revenue in the form of interest income on the debt securities that we hold and capital gains on debt or other equity interests that we acquire in portfolio companies. The majority of our senior debt investments bear interest at a floating rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable quarterly or monthly. In some cases, some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued, but unpaid, interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and possibly consulting fees and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments will be recognized when earned.

Operating Expenses

Our primary operating expenses are the payment of advisory fees and other expenses under the investment advisory and administration agreements. Our investment advisory fee compensates CIM for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. CIM is responsible for compensating AIM for its services pursuant to the investment sub-advisory agreement. We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions.

Except for CCSLF, we do not “control” and are not an “affiliate” of any of our portfolio companies or any of the companies of the loans underlying the TRS, each as defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the 1940 Act, we would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company or issuer if we owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an “affiliate” of a portfolio company or issuer if we owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

Our investment portfolio may contain senior secured investments that are in the form of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, or unfunded commitments, which may require us to provide funding when requested in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our unfunded commitments amounted to $102,593 and $43,404, respectively. As of August 4, 2016, our unfunded commitments amounted to $45,093. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for us. For additional information on our unfunded commitments, refer to Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Investment Portfolio Asset Quality

CIM uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor our expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. These ratings are just one of several factors that CIM uses to monitor our portfolio, are not in and of themselves determinative of fair value or revenue recognition and are presented for indicative purposes. CIM rates the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 5 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.

The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating used in this ratings system:

Investment Rating	Description
1	Indicates 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.
2	Indicates 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 in accordance with our analysis of its business and the full return of principal and interest or dividend is expected.
3	Indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has increased since origination or acquisition, but full return of principal and interest or dividend is expected. A portfolio company with an investment rating of 3 requires closer monitoring.
4	Indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has increased significantly since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and noncompliance with debt covenants, and we expect some loss of interest, dividend or capital appreciation, but still expect an overall positive internal rate of return on the investment.
5	Indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. Loss of interest or dividend and some loss of principal investment is expected, which would result in an overall negative internal rate of return on the investment.

For investments rated 3, 4, or 5, CIM enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company.

The following table summarizes the composition of our investment portfolio and our underlying TRS loans portfolio based on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, excluding short term investments of $32,093 and $18,892, respectively:

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

Current Investment Portfolio

As of August 4, 2016, our investment portfolio, excluding our short term investments and TRS, consisted of interests in 81 portfolio companies (26% in senior secured first lien debt, 60% in senior secured second lien debt, 10% in collateralized securities and structured products (comprised of 2% invested in rated debt, 4% invested in non-rated debt and 4% invested in non-rated equity of such securities and products), 4% in unsecured debt and less than 1% in equity) with a total fair value of $726,317 with an average and median portfolio company annual EBITDA of $68.8 million and $58.7 million, respectively, at initial investment. As of August 4, 2016, investments in our portfolio, excluding our short term investments and TRS, were purchased at a weighted average price of 96.81% of par value. Our estimated gross annual portfolio yield was 9.62% based upon the purchase price of such investments. The estimated gross portfolio yield does not represent and may be higher than an actual investment return to shareholders because it excludes our expenses and all sales commissions and dealer manager fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our total investment return-net asset value was 5.23%. Total investment return-net asset value does not represent and may be higher than an actual investment return to shareholders because it excludes all sales commissions and dealer manager fees. Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held our common stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions paid or payable during the period, and is described further in Note 13 of our consolidated financial statements.

As of August 4, 2016, our only short term investment was an investment in a U.S. Treasury Obligations Fund of $51,329.

Further, as of August 4, 2016, through a TRS (described further in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements), we obtained the economic benefit of owning investments in first and second lien senior secured floating-rate loans of 64 portfolio companies, down from 83 at June 30, 2016 due to net sales of underlying loans subject to the TRS of $178,894.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2016		2015
Investment income	$	17,830	$	11,918
Net operating expenses		7,000		7,412
Net investment income		10,830		4,506
Net realized gain on investments		707		-
Net change in unrealized appreciation on investments		14,244		967
Net realized gain on total return swap		7,249		8,515
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap		8,907		(3,250)
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations	$	41,937	$	10,738

Investment Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we generated investment income of $17,830 and $11,918, respectively, consisting primarily of interest income on investments in senior secured debt, collateralized securities, structured products, and unsecured debt of 89 and 78 portfolio companies held during each respective period. Our average investment portfolio size, excluding short term investments and the TRS, increased $170,094, from $508,779 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $678,873 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as we continued to deploy the net proceeds from our follow-on continuous public offering. We expect our investment portfolio to continue to grow due to the anticipated equity available to us for investment from our follow-on continuous public offering, which commenced on January 25, 2016. As a result, we believe that reported investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is not representative of our stabilized or future performance. Interest income earned by loans underlying the TRS is not included in investment income in the consolidated statements of operations, but rather it is recorded as part of net realized gain on total return swap.

Operating Expenses

The composition of our operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,

Expense Support and Recoupment of Expense Support

Our affiliate, IIG, agreed to provide expense support to us commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2012 for certain expenses pursuant to the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement. On December 16, 2015, we further amended and restated the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement for purposes of including AIM as a party to the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement and extending the termination date from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016. Commencing with the quarter beginning January 1, 2016, IIG and AIM each agrees to provide expense support to us for 50% of certain expenses pursuant to the second amended and restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement. Refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for further details about the second amended and restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement and additional disclosure regarding expense support from IIG.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, IIG recouped $548 of expense support made during the three months ended December 31, 2014 in connection with the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, IIG recouped $1,592 of expense support made during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013 in connection with the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement.

Recoupment of such support will be determined as appropriate to meet the objectives of the second amended and restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement. As a result, we may or may not be requested to reimburse IIG and AIM for any expense support that may be received from IIG and AIM in the future.

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $10,830 and $4,506 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in net investment income was primarily due to an increase in the size of our investment portfolio relative to our expenses as we continued to achieve economies of scale due to our continuous public offerings.

Net Realized Gain on Investments

Our net realized gain on investments totaled $707 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. We had no net realized gains on investments during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in net realized gain on investments was mainly due to an increase in principal repayment activity during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we received sale proceeds of $1,495 and principal repayments of $76,607, resulting in net realized gains of $707. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we received sale proceeds of $20,236 and principal repayments of $2,392, which resulted in no net gains or losses.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on Investments

The net change in unrealized appreciation on our investments totaled $14,244 and $967 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This change was driven primarily by an increase in the average size of our investment portfolio and improving conditions in the leveraged loan market for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Net Realized Gain on TRS

Our net realized gain on the TRS totaled $7,249 and $8,515 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The components of net realized gain on the TRS are summarized below:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2016		2015
Interest and other income from TRS portfolio	$	11,621	$	9,955
Interest and other expense from TRS portfolio		(3,589)		(2,509)
Net (loss) gain on TRS loan sales		(783)		1,069
Total	$	7,249	$	8,515

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on TRS

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the TRS totaled $8,907 and ($3,250) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This change was driven primarily by (i) an increase in the average size of the TRS for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 and (ii) a greater degree of credit spread tightening for broadly syndicated loans during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $41,937 and $10,738, respectively, as a result of our operating activity for the respective periods.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

Our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

Net change in unrealized appreciation on total return swap		7,299		2,799
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations	$	46,553	$	27,564

Investment Income

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we generated investment income of $35,101 and $20,832, respectively, consisting primarily of interest income on investments in senior secured debt, collateralized securities, structured products, and unsecured debt of 94 and 78 portfolio companies held during each respective period. Our average investment portfolio size, excluding short term investments and the TRS, increased $209,071, from $468,235 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $677,306 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, as we continued to deploy the net proceeds from our follow-on continuous public offering. We expect our investment portfolio to continue to grow due to the anticipated equity available to us for investment from our follow-on continuous public offering, which commenced on January 25, 2016. As a result, we believe that reported investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is not representative of our stabilized or future performance. Interest income earned by loans underlying the TRS is not included in investment income in the consolidated statements of operations, but rather it is recorded as part of net realized gain on total return swap.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, IIG recouped $2,429 of expense support made during the three months ended March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013 in connection with the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement.

Refer to the section “Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 – Expense Support and Recoupment of Expense Support” above for further details regarding expense support from IIG and AIM.

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $21,305 and $6,637 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in net investment income was primarily due to an increase in the size of our investment portfolio relative to our expenses as we continued to achieve economies of scale due to our continuous public offerings.

Net Realized Gain on Investments

Our net realized gain on investments totaled $699 and $575 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in net realized gain on investments was mainly due to an increase in sale and principal repayment activity during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we received sale proceeds of $12,415 and principal repayments of $87,356, resulting in net realized gains of $699. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we received sale proceeds of $55,801 and principal repayments of $3,510, resulting in net realized gains of $575.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on Investments

The net change in unrealized appreciation on our investments totaled $1,639 and $2,431 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This change was driven primarily by a widening of credit spreads for middle market companies during the six months ended June 30, 2016 that negatively impacted the fair value of certain investments, compared to a tightening of credit spreads for middle market companies during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Net Realized Gain on TRS

Our net realized gain on the TRS totaled $15,611 and $15,122 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The components of net realized gain on the TRS are summarized below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016		2015
Interest and other income from TRS portfolio	$	23,267	$	18,369
Interest and other expense from TRS portfolio		(7,042)		(4,515)
Net (loss) gain on TRS loan sales		(614)		1,268
Total	$	15,611	$	15,122

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on TRS

The net change in unrealized appreciation on the TRS totaled $7,299 and $2,799 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This change was driven primarily by an increase in the average size of the TRS and improving conditions in the leveraged loan market during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $46,553 and $27,564, respectively, as a result of our operating activity for the respective periods.

Net Asset Value per Share, Annual Investment Return and Total Return Since Inception

Our net asset value per share was $8.79 and $8.71 on June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. After considering (i) the overall changes in net asset value per share, (ii) paid distributions of approximately $0.3658 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2016, and (iii) the assumed reinvestment of those distributions in accordance with our distribution reinvestment plan then in effect, the total investment return was 5.23% for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. Total investment return-net asset value does not represent and may be higher than an actual return to shareholders because it excludes all sales commissions and dealer manager fees. Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held our common stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions paid or payable during the period, and is described further in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Initial shareholders who subscribed to the offering in December 2012 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $9.00 per share (public offering price net of sales load) have seen an annualized return of 7.28% and a cumulative total return of 28.24% through June 30, 2016 (see chart below). Initial shareholders who subscribed to the offering in December 2012 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $10.00 per share (the initial public offering price including sales load) have seen an annualized return of 4.13% and a cumulative total return of 15.42% through June 30, 2016. Over the same time period, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, a primary measure of senior debt covering the U.S. leveraged loan market, which currently consists of approximately 1,000 credit facilities throughout numerous industries, recorded an annualized return of 3.23% and a cumulative total return of 11.90%. In addition, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index, a primary measure of short-term US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the US domestic market, recorded an annualized return of 4.02% and a cumulative total return of 14.97% over the same period.

(1) Cumulative performance: December 17, 2012 to June 30, 2016

The calculations for the Growth of $10,000 Initial Investment are based upon (i) an initial investment of $10,000 in our common stock at the beginning of the period, at a share price of $10.00 per share (including sales load) and $9.00 per share (excluding sales load), (ii) assumes reinvestment of monthly distributions in accordance with our distribution reinvestment plan then in effect, (iii) the sale of the entire investment position at the net asset value per share on the last day of the period, and (iv) the distributions declared and payable to shareholders, if any, on the last day of the period.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash primarily from the net proceeds from our follow-on continuous public offering and from cash flows from interest, fees and dividends earned from our investments as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. We are engaged in a follow-on continuous public offering of shares of our common stock. Our initial continuous public offering commenced on July 2, 2012 and ended on December 31, 2015. Our follow-on continuous public offering commenced on January 25, 2016. We accept subscriptions on a continuous basis and issue shares at weekly closings at prices that, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are at or above our net asset value per share.

We will sell our shares on a continuous basis at our latest public offering price of $9.95 per share; however, to the extent that our net asset value fluctuates, we will sell at a price necessary to ensure that shares are sold at a price, after deduction of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, that is above and within 2.5% of net asset value per share.

Since commencing our initial continuous public offering on July 2, 2012 and through June 30, 2016, we sold 106,020,384 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,081,393 at an average price per share of $10.20. The net proceeds include gross proceeds received from reinvested shareholder distributions of $64,829, for which we issued 7,106,399 shares of common stock, and gross proceeds paid for shares of common stock tendered for repurchase of $15,846, for which we repurchased 1,758,036 shares of common stock. Since commencing our initial continuous public offering on July 2, 2012 and through June 30, 2016, sales commissions and dealer manager fees related to the sale of our common stock were $61,863 and $30,299, respectively.

As of August 5, 2016, we sold 106,322,520 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,084,487 at an average price per share of $10.20. The net proceeds include gross proceeds received from reinvested shareholder distributions of $67,831, for which we issued 7,443,323 shares of common stock, and gross proceeds paid for shares of common stock tendered for repurchase of $19,814, for which we repurchased 2,207,852 shares of common stock. Since commencing our initial continuous public offering on July 2, 2012 and through August 5, 2016, sales commissions and dealer manager fees related to the sale of our common stock were $62,119 and $30,414, respectively.

The net proceeds from our follow-on continuous public offering will be invested primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less prior to being invested in debt securities of private U.S. companies.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $32,093 and $18,892 in short term investments, respectively, invested in a fund that primarily invests in U.S. government securities.

Total Return Swap

For a detailed discussion of our TRS, refer to Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

East West Bank Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2016 and August 5, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings under the EWB Credit Facility and the aggregate principal amount available in connection with the EWB Credit Facility was $40,000.

For a detailed discussion of our EWB Credit Facility, refer to Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Unfunded Commitments

As of June 30, 2016 and August 5, 2016, our unfunded commitments amounted to $102,593 and $45,093, respectively.

For a detailed discussion of our unfunded commitments, refer to Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

RIC Status and Distributions

Our total investment portfolio includes loans and other securities on our consolidated balance sheets and loans underlying the TRS. Accordingly, we treat net interest and other income earned on all investments, including the loans underlying the TRS, as a component of investment company taxable income when determining our sources of distributions. The sources of our distributions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2016							Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
	Investment Portfolio		Total Return Swap Portfolio		Total Investment Portfolio		Percentage	Investment Portfolio		Total Return Swap Portfolio		Total Investment Portfolio		Percentage
Net investment income(2)	$	10,189	$	8,032	$	18,221	95.1%	$	20,831	$	16,225	$	37,056	97.1%
Capital gains from the sale of assets(1)		699		247		946	4.9%		699		416		1,115	2.9%
Total	$	10,888	$	8,279	$	19,167	100.0%	$	21,530	$	16,641	$	38,171	100.0%

(1)	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we estimate that we had capital gains of $539 and $463, respectively, classified as long-term. The final determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is made annually as of the end of the year.

(2)	During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company realized losses of $1,030 in our total return swap portfolio, which are not currently deductible on a tax-basis.

For an additional discussion of our RIC status and distributions, refer to Note 2 and Note 5, respectively, to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not believe any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we also utilize available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming our estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

The value of our assets is determined quarterly and at such other times that an event occurs that materially affects the valuation. The valuation is made pursuant to Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires that we value our assets as follows: (i) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available, and (ii) for all other securities and assets, at fair value, as determined in good faith by our board of directors. As a BDC, Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act requires the board of directors to determine in good faith the fair value of portfolio securities for which a market price is not readily available, and it does so in conjunction with the application of our valuation procedures by CIM.

There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each asset while employing a valuation process that is consistently followed. Determinations of fair value involve subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations in our consolidated financial statements.

Valuation Methods

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, we undertake 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 certain of CIM’s investment professionals and certain members of its management team, with such valuation taking into account information received from various sources, including independent valuation firms and AIM, if applicable;

· preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with CIM’s valuation committee;

· CIM’s valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuation, and, if applicable, delivers such preliminary valuation to an independent valuation firm for its review;

· CIM’s valuation committee, or its designee, and, if appropriate, the relevant investment professionals meet with the independent valuation firm to discuss the preliminary valuation;

· designated members of CIM’s management team respond and supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the independent valuation firm;

· our audit committee meets with members of CIM’s management team and the independent valuation firm to discuss the assistance provided and the results of the independent valuation firm’s review; and

· our board of directors discusses the valuation and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of CIM, the audit committee and any third-party valuation firm, if applicable.

In addition to the foregoing, certain investments for which a market price is not readily available are evaluated on a quarterly basis by an independent valuation firm and certain other investments are on a rotational basis reviewed once over a twelve-month period by an independent valuation firm. Finally, certain investments are not evaluated by an independent valuation firm unless the net asset value and other aspects of such investments in the aggregate exceed certain thresholds.

Given the expected types of investments, excluding short term investments that are classified as Level 1, management expects our portfolio holdings to be classified as Level 3. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, particularly for Level 3 investments, such fair value estimates may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market for the investments existed. 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 that we ultimately realize on these investments to materially differ from the valuations currently assigned. Inputs used in the valuation process are subject to variability in the future and can result in materially different fair values.

For an additional discussion of our investment valuation process, refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Related Party Transactions

For a discussion of our relationship with related parties including CĪON Securities, CIM, ICON Capital, and IIG and amounts incurred under agreements with such related parties, refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Contractual Obligations

On December 17, 2012, Flatiron entered into a TRS with Citibank. Flatiron and Citibank have amended the TRS on numerous occasions including the most recent twelfth amendment on March 22, 2016. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description of the TRS.

On April 30, 2015, we entered into the EWB Credit Facility with EWB, as amended on January 28, 2016 and April 21, 2016. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description of the EWB Credit Facility.

Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Commitments and Contingencies

We have entered into certain contracts with other parties that contain a variety of indemnifications. Our maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, we have not experienced claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believe the risk of loss related to such indemnifications to be remote.

Our investment portfolio may contain debt investments that are in the form of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, or other unfunded commitments, which may require us to provide funding when requested in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreement. For further details on such debt investments, refer to Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements except for those discussed in Note 7 and Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2016, 93.2% of our portfolio investments and underlying loans subject to the TRS paid variable interest rates. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to our debt investments, especially to the extent that we hold variable rate investments, and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we may hold. To the extent that a majority of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates could make it easier for us to meet or exceed our incentive fee hurdle rate, as defined in our investment advisory agreement, and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income, and also to the amount of incentive fees payable to CIM with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Under the terms of the TRS with Citibank, we pay fees to Citibank at a floating rate based primarily on LIBOR (and in limited cases the prime rate) in exchange for the right to receive the economic benefit of a pool of loans. Pursuant to the terms of the EWB Credit Facility, borrowings are at a floating rate of 0.75% plus the greater of 3.25% or the variable rate of interest per year announced by EWB as its prime rate, which was 3.50% at June 30, 2016. In addition, in the future we may seek to borrow funds in order to make additional investments. Our net investment income will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we would be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we have debt outstanding, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments. We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and long-term debt. Our interest rate risk management techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, excluding short term investments, assuming no changes in our investment portfolio, TRS Agreement, or the EWB Credit Facility in effect as of June 30, 2016:


Change in Interest Rates		Increase in Net Interest Income(1)			Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
Down 61 basis points		$	3,959	4.2%
Current base interest rate			-	-
Up 100 basis points			1,124	1.2%
Up 200 basis points			7,639	8.2%
Up 300 basis points			14,154	15.1%

(1)	Pursuant to the TRS, we receive from Citibank all interest payable in respect of the loans subject to the TRS and pay to Citibank interest at a rate equal to the floating rate index specified for each loan (typically LIBOR of varying maturities), which will not be less than zero, plus 1.40% per year on the full notional amount of the loans subject to the TRS. As of June 30, 2016, all of the loans subject to the TRS paid variable interest rates. This table assumes no change in defaults or prepayments by portfolio companies over the next twelve months.

The interest rate sensitivity analysis presented above does not consider the potential impact of the changes in fair value of our fixed rate debt investments and the net asset value of our common stock in the event of sudden increases in interest rates. Approximately 4.3% of our portfolio investments and underlying loans subject to the TRS paid fixed interest rates as of June 30, 2016. Rising market interest rates will most likely lead to fair value declines for fixed interest rate investments and a decline in the net asset value of our common stock, while declining market interest rates will most likely lead to an increase in the fair value of fixed interest rate investments and an increase in the net asset value of our common stock.

In addition, we may have risk regarding portfolio valuation as discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

I tem 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2016, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Disclosure controls and procedures cannot detect or prevent all error and fraud. Some inherent limitations in disclosure controls and procedures include costs of implementation, faulty decision-making, simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all anticipated and unanticipated future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with established policies or procedures.

Evaluation of internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies and other third parties. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that any such proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
