Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation

Business Development Corporation of America (the “Company”), incorporated in Maryland on May 5, 2010, is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company is, therefore, required to comply with certain regulatory requirements as promulgated under the 1940 Act. The Company is managed by BDCA Adviser, LLC (the “Adviser”) pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory and Management Services Agreement, as amended (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser was formed in Delaware as a private investment management firm and is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Adviser oversees the management of its activities and is responsible for making investment decisions for its portfolio.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had one wholly-owned financing subsidiary, 405 TRS I, LLC (“TRS Sub”), which was established on May 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, TRS Sub had no operations or assets. On a going-forward basis, TRS Sub will be included within the Company's consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements will include both the Company's account and the account of TRS Sub. All significant intercompany transactions will be eliminated in consolidation.

On January 25, 2011, the Company commenced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) on a “reasonable best efforts basis” of up to 150.0 million shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at an initial offering price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-166636) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company sold 22,222 shares of common stock to its Adviser, an entity wholly owned by AR Capital, LLC (formerly known as American Realty Capital II, LLC) (the “Sponsor”) on July 8, 2010, at $9.00 per share, which represents the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share minus selling commissions of $0.70 per share and dealer manager fees of $0.30 per share. On August 25, 2011, the Company had raised sufficient funds to break escrow on its IPO and commenced operations as of that date. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had issued 6.7 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $67.5 million including shares purchased by the Sponsor and shares issued under the Company's distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP").

The Company anticipates that during its offering period it will invest largely in first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt issued by middle market companies. The Company may also purchase interests in loans through secondary market transactions in the "over-the-counter" market for institutional loans. First and second lien secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt and equity in bankruptcy priority and are generally secured by liens on the operating assets of a borrower which may include inventory, receivables, plant, property and equipment. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured. The Company defines middle market companies as those with annual revenues between $10 million and $1 billion. The Company expects that each investment will range between approximately $1 million and $25 million, although this investment size will vary proportionately with the size of its capital base. As the Company increases its capital base during the offering period, it will begin investing in, and ultimately intends to have a substantial portion of its assets invested in, customized direct loans to and equity securities of middle market companies. In most cases, companies to whom the Company provides customized financing solutions will be privately held at the time the Company invests in them.

The Company has entered into a fund administration servicing agreement and a fund accounting servicing agreement with US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Administrator”). The Administrator provides services, such as accounting, financial reporting, legal and compliance support and investor relations support, necessary for the Company to operate. Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, serves as the dealer manager of the Company’s IPO. The Adviser and the Dealer Manager are related parties and will receive compensation and fees for services related to the IPO and for the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The Adviser and Dealer Manager will receive fees during the offering, acquisition, operational and liquidation stages.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the Company included herein were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2011 and for the year then ended, which are included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 19, 2012.

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and for the year then ended, which are included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2012. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the six months ended June 30, 2012, other than the updates described below.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance regarding disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities, which requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance, which is related to disclosure only, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance that expands the existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, primarily for Level 3 measurements, which are measurements based on unobservable inputs such as the Company's own data. This guidance is largely consistent with current fair value measurement principles with few exceptions that do not result in a change in general practice. The guidance was applied prospectively and was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations as the guidance relates only to disclosure requirements.

Note 3 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. 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.

The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, if any, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


•	Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.


•	Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.


•	Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.

The Company’s investment portfolio at June 30, 2012 was comprised primarily of debt instruments for which quoted prices within the categories of Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are not available. Therefore, at June 30, 2012, the majority of investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the board of directors using Level 3 inputs. The Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company’s investments are trading, in determining fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the estimate of fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio at June 30, 2012 may differ materially from values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the valuation policy approved by the board of directors. Portfolio investments are reported on the balance sheet at fair value. On a quarterly basis the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows:

Securities that are publicly-traded are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. Securities that are not publicly-traded but are traded through broker networks are valued using information including, but not limited to, indicative dealer quotes, values of like securities, and other available market information.

For debt investments in portfolio companies for which the Company is required to identify a hypothetical secondary market as the principal market, the Company will determine the fair value based on the assumptions that hypothetical market participants would use to value the investment in a current hypothetical sale using a market yield (“Market Yield”) valuation methodology based on an exchange valuation premise under ASC 820.

For debt investments of the Company's private finance portfolio for which the Company does not control or cannot gain control as of the measurement date, the Company will estimate the fair value based on the Company's assumptions in the absence of market observable data, including estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar loans and securities as of the measurement date. The Company generally does not expect to hold debt investments until the instrument's stated maturity. Debt investments are often exited prior to maturity as part of change of control transactions or recapitalization of the portfolio company. Accordingly, the Company's market yield analysis makes assumptions regarding the remaining useful life of an investment which may be shorter than the legal maturity of the loans. However, if the Company has information available stating that the loan is expected to be repaid in the near term, the Company would use an estimated remaining life based on the expected repayment date. The current interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of the Company's loans is based on experience of current interest rate spreads on similar loans. The Company uses significant judgment in determining the estimated remaining life as well as the current market yield and interest rate spreads. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a loan, the Company may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.

Investments in securities for which no active market exists are generally valued using either an enterprise value methodology and/or using debt fair value techniques. The Enterprise Value Waterfall methodology assumes the loans and equity securities are sold to the same market participant in the private merger and acquisition market which is consistent with how market participants would transact for these items in order to maximize their value. The enterprise value methodology determines the total value of a portfolio company, which is then allocated to individual securities in order of liquidation preference. To determine enterprise value the Company may use discounted cash flow techniques, comparisons to valuations of similar publicly traded companies, comparisons to market transactions for comparable companies, third-party valuations of the portfolio company, third-party offers to purchase the portfolio company, among other techniques where appropriate. Significant inputs in these valuation methodologies to estimate enterprise value include the historical or projected operating results of the portfolio company, selection of comparable companies, discounts or premiums to the prices of comparable companies and discount rates applied to the forecasted cash flows. The operating results of a portfolio company may be unaudited, projected or pro forma financial information and may require adjustments for non-recurring items or to normalize the operating results that may require significant judgment in its determination. In addition, projecting future financial results requires significant judgment regarding future growth assumptions. In evaluating the operating results, the Company will also analyze the impact of exposure to litigation, loss of customers or other contingencies. The selection of a population of comparable companies requires significant judgment including a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the comparability of the companies. In determining a discount or premium, if any, to prices of comparable companies, the Company will use significant judgment for factors such as size, marketability, and relative performance. In determining a discount rate to apply to forecasted cash flows, the Company will use significant judgment in the development of an appropriate discount rate including the evaluation of an appropriate risk premium. Debt fair value techniques, such as market yield analysis where a discounted cash flow analysis is performed using estimated current market yield required on the debt instrument, may be applied to individual debt instruments in which observable market data is not available. The Company will estimate the current market yield, remaining life, and interest rate spreads using similar loans and securities. The Company generally does not expect to hold the debt investments until the instrument's stated maturity. Debt investments are often exited prior to maturity as part of change of control transactions or recapitalization of the portfolio company. Accordingly, the Company's market yield analysis makes assumptions regarding the remaining useful life of an investment which may be shorter than the legal maturity of the loans. The current interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of our loans is based on the Company's experience of current interest rate spreads on similar loans. The Company will use significant judgment in determining the estimated remaining life as well as the current market yield and interest rate spreads. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a loan, the Company may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.

In determining the fair value of investments, the Company may look to private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party investments in the portfolio companies, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value of a portfolio company, or other industry practices.

Valuation of fixed income investments, such as loans and debt securities, depends upon a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates for like securities, expected volatility in future interest rates, call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt. For investments without readily available market prices, the Company will incorporate these factors into discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that the Company's board of directors will consider include 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 and the quality of collateral securing the Company's debt investments.

As part of the Company's quarterly valuation process, the Adviser may be assisted by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company's board of directors. The audit committee of the board of directors reviews each preliminary valuation and the Adviser and an independent valuation firm (if applicable) will supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the audit committee. The board of directors then discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser, the independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of the board of directors.

Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to the financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on the financial statements.

The Sponsor, including its wholly owned subsidiary, the Adviser, owns 0.12 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2012.

Management and Incentive Fee Compensation to the Adviser

The Adviser and its affiliates receive fees for services relating to the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The Adviser is entitled to an annual base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of the Company’s average gross assets. The management fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. All or any part of the management fee not taken as to any quarter is deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Adviser will determine. The management fee for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately prorated.

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 20% of “pre-incentive fee net investment income” but only after the payment of a certain preferred return rate to investors, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, for the immediately preceding quarter of 1.75% per quarter, or an annualized rate of 7.0% subject to a "catch-up" feature. The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the Company’s portfolio and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals 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 gain incentive fees.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Adviser waived $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of compensation earned for management and incentive fees to provide additional liquidity to the Company and enable the Company to cover distributions from income from operations. No fees were earned to the Adviser for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Expense Support Agreement

The Adviser and its affiliates may incur and pay costs and fees on behalf of the Company. The Company and its Adviser have entered into the Expense Support Agreement whereby the Adviser may pay the Company up to 100% of all offering and operating expenses (“Expense Support Payment”) for any period beginning on the effective date of the Registration Statement, until the Adviser and the Company mutually agree otherwise. The Expense Support Payment for any month shall be paid by the Adviser to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds, and/or offsets against amounts due from the Company to the Adviser. The Company has recorded $2.1 million and $0.9 million as due from affiliate on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, of which reflects the netting of amounts due from the Adviser and affiliates and amounts due from the Company.

Offering and operating expenses subject to this agreement include offering costs incurred in connection with the Company’s ongoing offering of common stock, which are recorded as a component of equity, and expenses as defined by U.S. GAAP, including, without limitation, advisory fees payable and interest on indebtedness for such period, if any.

Pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement, the Company has agreed if requested, to reimburse the Adviser for Expense Support Payments within three years from the end of the fiscal year in which such Expense Support Payment is made by the Adviser. Reimbursement shall be made as promptly as possible, but only to the extent it does not cause the Company’s operating expenses, excluding organization and offering expenses, management fees and incentive fees payable to the Adviser, financing fees and interest, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses to exceed 1.5% of net assets attributable to shares of common stock after taking such payment into account.

If an Expense Support Payment has not been reimbursed prior to the end of the third fiscal year following the date such Expense Support Payment was made, the Company’s obligation to pay such Expense Support Payment shall automatically terminate, and be of no further effect.

As of June 30, 2012, the Adviser had assumed on a cumulative basis, $0.3 million of offering costs and $1.0 million of operating expenses pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement.

Offering Costs

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company and the Adviser have agreed that the Company will not be liable for offering expenses to the extent that, together with all prior offering expenses, the amounts exceed 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Company’s on-going offering. As of June 30, 2012, offering costs in the amount of $1.1 million have been incurred in excess of the 1.5% limit and are the responsibility of the Adviser.

Note 5 — Borrowings

In January 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to obtain a revolving line of credit in the amount of $10.0 million with Main Street Capital Corp. The line of credit bears a variable interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 3.50%. As of June 30, 2012, the variable rate was 3.74%, which was comprised of the LIBOR of 0.24%. As of December 31, 2011, the variable rate was 3.69%, which was comprised of the LIBOR of 0.19%. The line will be available to the Company until January 2013 and permits the Company to periodically draw on the available funds to purchase securities or pay certain expenses. All unpaid principal is due at maturity. The line of credit agreement requires the Company to pay a maximum commitment fee of $0.1 million payable based on 1.0% of each draw of the available funds. This commitment fee is included in deferred financing costs on the Company's balance sheet and is being amortized over the term of the agreement, which is two years. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had deferred financing costs of $0.1 million, net of accumulated amortization of $0.07 million. Borrowings under the line of credit are secured by the assets of the Company including cash, securities, investments, property, fixtures and equipment among other assets. At June 30, 2012, $10.0 million was drawn on this facility. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company incurred interest expense related to the outstanding borrowings of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company incurred no interest expense since there were no outstanding borrowings during the period.

See Note 12 – Subsequent events in our financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the Company's borrowings subsequent to June 30, 2012.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, due to affiliates and accounts payable approximate their carrying value on the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the Company’s remaining financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities are reported below (amounts in thousands):



	Level	Carrying Amount at June 30, 2012		Fair Value at June 30, 2012
Senior secured revolving credit facility	3	$	10,000	$	10,000

The interest rate of the revolving line of credit is determined by a variable market rate and the Company's leverage ratio, and has terms commensurate with the market; as such the outstanding balance on the facility approximates fair value.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation or claims. There are no material legal proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company.

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur that lead to the execution of these provisions against the Company. Based on its history and experience, management feels that the likelihood of such an event is remote.

Note 7 — Economic Dependency

Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Adviser and its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and investor relations.

As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Adviser and its affiliates. In the event that these companies were unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company would be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Note 8 — Common Stock

On August 25, 2011, the Company had raised sufficient funds to break escrow on its IPO and through June 30, 2012, the Company sold 6.7 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $67.5 million, including shares purchased by the Sponsor and shares issued under the DRIP.

See Note 10 — Distributions regarding a common stock distribution declared on March 29, 2012.

Note 9 — Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. The Company had no potentially dilutive securities as of June 30, 2012 and 2011.

The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase (decrease) in net assets per share from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 (dollars in thousands except share and per share amounts):

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations per share - basic and diluted *	$	0.23	$	(5.06	)	$	0.57	$	(7.88	)

On May 1, 2012, the Company announced that it was increasing its public offering price per share from $10.26 to $10.44, which became effective for shares purchased immediately following its next bi-monthly closing on May 16, 2012.

Note 10 — Distributions

The Company has declared and paid cash distributions to stockholders on a monthly basis since it commenced operations. From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions at the discretion of its board of directors. The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to it, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets. The Company’s distributions may exceed its earnings, especially during the period before the Company has substantially invested the proceeds from its IPO. As a result, a portion of the distributions may represent a return of capital for tax purposes. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has accrued $0.4 million in stockholder distributions that were unpaid.

The Company has not established any limit on the extent to which it may use borrowings, if any, or proceeds from its IPO to fund distributions (which may reduce the amount of capital it ultimately invests in assets). There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain distributions at any particular level.

On March 1, 2012, the price for newly-issued shares under the DRIP issued to stockholders was changed from 95% to 90% of the stock price that the shares are sold in the offering as of the date the distribution is made.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-Q and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to the Company’s disclosures in the financial statements except for the following:

Subsequent to June 30, 2012 through the date of issuance of the financial statements included herein, the Company has purchased nine debt investments and two equity investment with an aggregate face value of $24.3 million for $23.4 million in cash and sold fifteen debt investments with an aggregate carrying value of $27.1 million for an aggregate redemption value of $27.3 million in cash resulting in a realized gain of $0.2 million.

From July 1, 2012 to August 3, 2012, the Company has issued 1.3 million shares of common stock including shares issued pursuant to the DRIP. Total gross proceeds from these issuances including proceeds from shares issued pursuant to the DRIP were $13.5 million.

Total Return Swap

On July 13, 2012, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, 405 TRS I, LLC (“405 Sub”), entered into a total return swap agreement (“TRS”) with Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”).

A total return swap is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the total return swap, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. The TRS effectively adds leverage to the Company's 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. The TRS enables the Company, through its ownership of 405 Sub, 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 Citi.

The obligations of 405 Sub under the TRS are non-recourse to the Company and the Company's exposure to the TRS is limited to the amount that it contributes to 405 Sub in connection with the TRS. Generally, that amount will be the amount that 405 Sub is required to post as cash collateral for each loan (which in most instances is approximately 25% of the market value of a loan at the time that such loan is purchased). 405 Sub may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum aggregate market value (determined at the time such loans become subject to the TRS) of $50.0 million.

405 Sub will pay interest to Citi for each loan at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum. Upon the termination or repayment of any loan selected by 405 Sub under the Agreement, 405 Sub may deduct the appreciation of such loan's value from any interest owed to Citi or pay the depreciation amount to Citi in addition to remaining interest payments.

Citi may terminate any individual loan on or after July 13, 2015. However, if at any time, any particular loan fails to meet certain criteria set forth in the TRS, and such failure continues for 30 days, Citi will have the right to terminate that loan or the entire agreement with at least 10 days' notice and 405 Sub would be required to pay certain breakage costs to Citi. 405 Sub may terminate the TRS prior to July 13, 2015 but would be required to pay certain termination fees.

On July 24, 2012, the Company used working capital and certain proceeds from the total return swap of its subsidiary, 405 Sub, to repay all of the obligations under the Company's credit facility with Main Street Capital Corp. The Company was not required to pay any prepayment penalty in connection with such repayment.

Wells Fargo Credit Facility

On July 24, 2012, the Company, through a newly-formed, wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, BDCA Funding I, LLC (“Funding I”), entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender, Wells Fargo Securities, as administrative agent (together, “Wells Fargo”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian. The Credit Facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million on a committed basis, with a term of 48 months.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2012

(Unaudited)

The Company may contribute cash or loans to Funding I from time to time and will retain a residual interest in any assets contributed through its ownership of Funding I or will receive fair market value for any loans sold to Funding I. Funding I may purchase additional loans from various sources. Funding I has appointed the Company as servicer to manage its portfolio of loans. Funding I's obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Funding I, including its portfolio of loans. The obligations of Funding I under the Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company.

The Credit Facility will be priced at LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread ranging between 2.00% and 2.75% per annum, depending on the composition of the portfolio of loans owned by Funding I for the relevant period. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Funding I will be subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Credit Facility has not been borrowed. Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable in July 2016.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base, pursuant to which the amount of funds advanced to Funding I varies depending upon the types of loans in Funding I's portfolio. The Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part, subject to customary breakage costs. In the event that the Credit Facility is terminated prior to the first anniversary, an additional amount is payable to Wells Fargo equal to 2.00% of the maximum amount of the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains customary default provisions for facilities of this type pursuant to which Wells Fargo may terminate the rights, obligations, power and authority of the Company, in its capacity as servicer of the portfolio assets under the Credit Facility, including, but not limited to, non-performance of Credit Facility obligations, insolvency, defaults of certain financial covenants and other events with respect to the Company that may be adverse to Wells Fargo and the secured parties under the Credit Facility.

In connection with the Credit Facility, Funding I has made certain representations and warranties, is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities and is subject to certain customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, Wells Fargo may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Credit Facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of default, Funding I must pay interest at a default rate.

Borrowings of Funding I will be considered borrowings of the Company for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, applicable to business development companies.

Overview

We incorporated in Maryland on May 5, 2010, as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and that has elected to be treated as a BDC, under the 1940 Act. We, therefore, are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements as promulgated under the 1940 Act. We are managed by the Adviser. The Adviser was formed in Delaware as a private investment management firm and is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. Our Adviser oversees the management of our activities and is responsible for making investment decisions for our portfolio.

On January 25, 2011, we commenced our IPO on a “reasonable best efforts basis” of up to 150.0 million shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-166636) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We sold 22,222 shares of common stock to the Adviser, an entity wholly owned by AR Capital, LLC (formerly known as American Realty Capital II, LLC) (the “Sponsor”) on July 8, 2010, at $9.00 per share, which represents the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share minus selling commissions of $0.70 per share and dealer manager fees of $0.30 per share. On August 25, 2011, we had raised sufficient funds to break escrow on our IPO and commenced operations as of that date. As of June 30, 2012, we had issued 6.7 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $67.5 million including shares purchased by the Sponsor and shares issued under the DRIP.

We anticipate that during our offering period we will invest largely in first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt issued by middle market companies. We may also purchase interests in loans through secondary market transactions in the "over-the-counter" market for institutional loans. First and second lien secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt and equity in bankruptcy priority and are generally secured by liens on the operating assets of a borrower which may include inventory, receivables, plant, property and equipment. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured. We define middle market companies as those with annual revenues between $10 million and $1 billion. We expect that our investments will generally range between approximately $1 million and $25 million, although this investment size will vary proportionately with the size of our capital base. As we increase our capital base during our offering period, we will begin investing in, and ultimately intend to have a substantial portion of our assets invested in, customized direct loans to and equity securities of middle market companies. In most cases, companies to whom we provide customized financing solutions will be privately held at the time we invest in them.

We have entered into a fund administration servicing agreement and a fund accounting servicing agreement with US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Administrator”). The Administrator provides services, such as accounting, financial reporting, legal and compliance support and investor relations support, necessary to operate. Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, serves as the dealer manager of the IPO. The Adviser and the Dealer Manager are related parties and will receive compensation and fees for services related to the IPO and for the investment and management of our assets. The Adviser and Dealer Manager will receive fees during the offering, acquisition, operational and liquidation stages. The Adviser will pay to the Administrator a portion of the fees payable to the Adviser for the performance of these support services.

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of U.S. operating companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, U.S. operating companies with listed securities that have equity market capitalizations of less than $250 million, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. In addition, we are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, which, as defined in the 1940 Act, measures the ratio of total assets less total liabilities (excluding borrowings) to total borrowings, equals at least 200% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of 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 financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its 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. As our expected operating plans occur we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our future financial statements in addition to those discussed below.

Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. These significant accounting estimates include:

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

Portfolio investments are reported on the balance sheet at fair value. On a quarterly basis we perform an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows:

For debt investments in portfolio companies for which we are required to identify a hypothetical secondary market as the principal market, we determine the fair value based on the assumptions that hypothetical market participants would use to value the investment in a current hypothetical sale using a market yield (“Market Yield”) valuation methodology based on an exchange valuation premise under ASC 820.

For debt investments of our private finance portfolio for which we do not control or cannot gain control as of the measurement date, we estimate the fair value based on s and our own assumptions in the absence of market observable data, including estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar loans and securities as of the measurement date. We generally do not expect to hold its debt investments until the instrument's stated maturity. Debt investments are often exited prior to maturity as part of change of control transactions or recapitalization of the portfolio company. Accordingly, our market yield analysis makes assumptions regarding the remaining useful life of an investment which may be shorter than the legal maturity of the loans. However, if we have information available to us that the loan is expected to be repaid in the near term, we would use an estimated remaining life based on the expected repayment date. The current interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of our loans is based on our experience of current interest rate spreads on similar loans. We use significant judgment in determining the estimated remaining life as well as the current market yield and interest rate spreads. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a loan, we may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.

Investments in securities for which no active market exists are generally valued using either an enterprise value methodology and/or using debt fair value techniques. The Enterprise Value Waterfall methodology assumes the loans and equity securities are sold to the same market participant in the private merger and acquisition market which is consistent with how market participants would transact for these items in order to maximize their value. The enterprise value methodology determines the total value of a portfolio company, which is then allocated to individual securities in order of liquidation preference. To determine enterprise value, we may use discounted cash flow techniques, comparisons to valuations of similar publicly traded companies, comparisons to market transactions for comparable companies, third-party valuations of the portfolio company, third-party offers to purchase the portfolio company, among other techniques where appropriate. Significant inputs in these valuation methodologies to estimate enterprise value include the historical or projected operating results of the portfolio company, selection of comparable companies, discounts or premiums to the prices of comparable companies and discount rates applied to the forecasted cash flows. The operating results of a portfolio company may be unaudited, projected or pro forma financial information and may require adjustments for non-recurring items or to normalize the operating results that may require significant judgment in its determination. In addition, projecting future financial results requires significant judgment regarding future growth assumptions. In evaluating the operating results, we also analyze the impact of exposure to litigation, loss of customers or other contingencies. The selection of a population of comparable companies requires significant judgment including a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the comparability of the companies. In determining a discount or premium, if any, to prices of comparable companies, we use significant judgment for factors such as size, marketability, and relative performance. In determining a discount rate to apply to forecasted cash flows, we use significant judgment in the development of an appropriate discount rate including the evaluation of an appropriate risk premium. Debt fair value techniques, such as market yield analysis where a discounted cash flow analysis is performed using estimated current market yield required on the debt instrument, may be applied to individual debt instruments in which observable market data is not available. We estimate the current market yield, remaining life, and interest rate spreads using similar loans and securities. We generally do not expect to hold its debt investments until the instrument's stated maturity. Debt investments are often exited prior to maturity as part of change of control transactions or recapitalization of the portfolio company. Accordingly, our market yield analysis makes assumptions regarding the remaining useful life of an investment which may be shorter than the legal maturity of the loans. The current interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of our loans is based on our experience of current interest rate spreads on similar loans. We use significant judgment in determining the estimated remaining life as well as the current market yield and interest rate spreads. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a loan, we may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.

In determining the fair value of investments, we may look to private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party investments in the portfolio companies, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value of a portfolio company, or other industry practices.

Valuation of fixed income investments, such as loans and debt securities, depends upon a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates for like securities, expected volatility in future interest rates, call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt. For investments without readily available market prices, we will incorporate these factors into discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that our board of directors will consider include 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 and the quality of collateral securing our debt investments.

As part of our quarterly valuation process our Adviser may be assisted by an independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors. The audit committee of our board of directors reviews each preliminary valuation and our Adviser and an independent valuation firm (if applicable) will supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the audit committee. Our board of directors then discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of our Adviser, the independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of our board of directors.

Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on our financial statements.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it distributes at least 90% of its ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each year. Dividends paid up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the dividends paid in such tax year. We intend to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain its RIC status each year. We are also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if we do not distribute at least 98% of net ordinary income each calendar year and 98.2% of capital gain net income for the one year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which we paid no federal income taxes. We will generally endeavor each year to avoid any federal excise taxes.

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis 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.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we made $80.4 million of investments in new portfolio companies and had $23.5 million in aggregate amount of exits and repayments, resulting in net investments of $56.9 million for the period. We had no investments as of June 30, 2011.

Our portfolio composition based on fair value at June 30, 2012 was as follows:



	At June 30, 2012
	Percentage of Total Portfolio		Weighted Average Current Coupon Yield ⁽¹⁾
Senior Secured First Lien Debt	80.5		9.2
Senior Secured Second Lien Debt	11.0		11.5
Senior Unsecured Debt	1.1		10.1
Collateralized Securities ⁽²⁾	7.4		1.1
Equity/Other	—		—
Total	100.0	%	8.7	%

⁽¹⁾ Excludes the effect of the amortization or accretion of loan premiums or discounts. Including the effect of the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts the weighted average effective yield was 9.09% at June 30, 2012.

⁽²⁾ Weighted average current coupon yield for collateralized securities includes the current coupon yield for the subordinated notes, which is based on interest income received. As of June 30, 2012, we have received no interest income on the subordinated notes investments.

The following table shows the portfolio composition by industry grouping at fair value at June 30, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Portfolio Asset Quality

Our Adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Adviser grades the credit risk of all debt 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 debt investment relative to the inherent risk at the time the original debt investment was made (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.



Loan Rating		Summary Description
1		Debt investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since the time of investment are favorable.

2		Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable. All investments are initially rated a “2”.

3		Performing debt investment requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration.

4		Underperforming debt investment. Some loss of interest or dividend expected, but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative.

5		Underperforming debt investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

As of June 30, 2012, we have two investments rated 1, twenty-nine investments rated 2 and one investment rated 3 in accordance with our loan rating system.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we had not yet commenced operations. Therefore, we did not have any income, cash flow from operations or funds available for distribution, nor did we declare any distributions or issue any shares to the public.

Investment Income

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, total investment income was $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The total investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was attributable to investments in new portfolio companies of $24.0 million and $80.4 million, respectively. We held no investments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Total operating expenses, net of expense waivers and reimbursements	$	371		$	175

Interest and credit facility expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were comprised of amortization of deferred financing costs related to our line of credit facility with Main Street Capital Corp. and interest on the balance drawn on such credit facility. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, management fees of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and incentive fees of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, were incurred but waived by the Adviser.

Net Realized Gain from Investments

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we had $5.9 million and $23.5 million, respectively, of principal repayments, resulting in $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of realized gains. We held no investments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Net Change in Unrealized Depreciation on Investments

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, our investments had $0.4 million and $0.03 million, respectively, of unrealized depreciation. We held no investments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Changes in Net Assets from Operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $1.9 million versus a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The difference is attributable to an increase in net investment income offset by an increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior year after the effect of fees and expenses which were waived or assumed by the Adviser. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.57 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, versus a per share net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $7.88 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $45.2 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions and sales of portfolio investments, among other factors. Cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were mainly due to net income of $1.9 million adjusted for $80.4 million for purchases of investments, $1.9 million from increase in unsettled trades receivable, $0.6 million from net realized gain on investments, $0.1 million from increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, $0.03 million from decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $0.2 million from increase in interest receivable offset by cash provided by operating activities of $23.5 million for repayments of investments, $12.7 million from increase in unsettled trades payable, $0.03 million from net unrealized depreciation on investments, $0.01 million from increase in interest and credit facility fees payable and a non-cash item of $0.03 million (amortization of deferred credit facility financing costs).

Net cash provided by financing activities of $55.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 related to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $52.9 million and proceeds on line of credit of $4.1 million. These inflows were partially offset by payments of deferred offering costs of $0.3 million, payments to affiliate of $0.9 million, payments of financing cost of $0.05 million and payments of stockholder distributions of $0.7 million.

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash used in operating activities was $0.2 million. Cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were due to net loss of $0.2 million adjusted for an increase of $0.04 million in prepaid expenses and other assets, offset by an increase of $0.04 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a non-cash item of $0.03 million (amortization of deferred credit facility financing costs).

Net cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 related to proceeds from affiliate of $0.8 million offset by payments related to offering costs of $0.6 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash from the net proceeds of our ongoing continuous initial public offering and, as our portfolio of investments builds, from cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments, as well as proceeds from sales of our investments. The Registration Statement offering for sale up to $1.5 billion of shares of our common stock (150.0 million shares at an initial public offering price of $10.00 per share) was declared effective on January 27, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, we had issued 6.7 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $67.5 million including shares issued to the Adviser and Sponsor and shares issued under the DRIP.

Our principal demands for funds in both the short-term and long-term are for portfolio investments, either directly or through investment interests, for the payment of operating expenses, distributions to our investors, repurchases under our stock repurchase program, and for the payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. Generally, capital needs for investment activities will be met through net proceeds received from the sale of common stock through our public offering. We may also from time to time enter into other agreements with third parties whereby third parties will contribute to specific investment opportunities. Items other than investment acquisitions are expected to be met from a combination of the proceeds from the sale of common stock, cash flows from operations, and, during our IPO, reimbursements from the Adviser.

Management expects that in the future, as our investment portfolio grows, our investments will generate sufficient cash flow to cover operating expenses and the payment of a monthly distribution. Other potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from private offerings, proceeds from the sale of investments and undistributed funds from operations. However, our ability to incur additional debt will be dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. Our ability to raise proceeds in our public offering will be dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for business development companies and market perceptions about us.

In January 2011, we entered into an agreement to obtain a revolving line of credit in the amount of $10.0 million with Main Street Capital Corp. The line of credit bears a variable interest rate based on the LIBOR plus 3.50%. The line will be available to us until January 2013 and permits us to periodically draw on the available funds to purchase securities or pay certain expenses. The line of credit agreement required us to pay a commitment fee of $0.1 million payable based on 1% of each draw on the available funds. Borrowings under the line of credit are secured by our assets including cash, securities, investments property, fixtures and equipment among other assets. At June 30, 2012, we had $10.0 million outstanding on this facility. On July 24, 2012, we used working capital and certain proceeds from the total return swap of our subsidiary, 405 Sub, to repay all of the obligations under our credit facility with Main Street Capital Corp.. We were not required to pay any prepayment penalty in connection with such repayment.

Total Return Swap

On July 13, 2012, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, 405 TRS I, LLC (“405 Sub”), entered into a total return swap agreement (“TRS”) with Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”).

A total return swap is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the total return swap, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. The TRS effectively adds leverage to our 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. The TRS enables us, through our ownership of 405 Sub, 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 Citi.

The obligations of 405 Sub under the TRS are non-recourse to us and our exposure to the TRS is limited to the amount that we contribute to 405 Sub in connection with the TRS. Generally, that amount will be the amount that 405 Sub is required to post as cash collateral for each loan (which in most instances is approximately 25% of the market value of a loan at the time that such loan is purchased). 405 Sub may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum aggregate market value (determined at the time such loans become subject to the TRS) of $50.0 million.

Wells Fargo Credit Facility

On July 24, 2012, we, through a newly-formed, wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, BDCA Funding I, LLC (“Funding I”), entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender, Wells Fargo Securities, as administrative agent (together, “Wells Fargo”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian. The Credit Facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million on a committed basis, with a term of 48 months.

We may contribute cash or loans to Funding I from time to time and will retain a residual interest in any assets contributed through its ownership of Funding I or will receive fair market value for any loans sold to Funding I. Funding I may purchase additional loans from various sources. Funding I has appointed us as servicer to manage its portfolio of loans. Funding I's obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Funding I, including its portfolio of loans. The obligations of Funding I under the Credit Facility are non-recourse to us.

The Credit Facility contains customary default provisions for facilities of this type pursuant to which Wells Fargo may terminate our rights, obligations, power and authority, in our capacity as servicer of the portfolio assets under the Credit Facility, including, but not limited to, non-performance of Credit Facility obligations, insolvency, defaults of certain financial covenants and other events with respect to us that may be adverse to Wells Fargo and the secured parties under the Credit Facility.

Borrowings of Funding I will be considered our borrowings for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, applicable to business development companies.

Our cash is deposited in either commercial bank accounts or custody accounts and may be deposited in short-term, highly liquid investments that we believe provide appropriate safety of principal.

Distributions

We have declared and paid cash distributions to our stockholders on a monthly basis since we commenced operations. As of June 30, 2012, the annualized yield for distributions declared was 7.77% based on our then current public offering price of $10.44 per share. From time to time, we may also pay interim distributions at the discretion of our board of directors. Our distributions may exceed our earnings, especially during the period before we have substantially invested the proceeds from our IPO. As a result, a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital for tax purposes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we have declared $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in distributions and paid distributions of $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, which consists of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in cash and $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, issued pursuant to the DRIP. As of June 30, 2012, we had $0.4 million of distributions unpaid. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we had not yet commenced operations. Therefore, we did not have any income, cash flow from operations or funds available for distribution, nor did we declare any distributions or issue any shares to the public.

On March 1, 2012 the price for newly-issued shares under the DRIP issued to stockholders was changed from 95% to 90% of the stock price that the shares are sold in the offering as of the date the distribution is made.

On March 29, 2012, we declared a special common stock distribution equal to $0.05 per share. The distribution was paid to stockholders of record on May 1, 2012.

We have not established any limit on the extent to which we may use borrowings, if any, or proceeds from our IPO to fund distributions (which may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in assets). There can be no assurance that we will be able to sustain distributions at any particular level.

Election as a RIC

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code commencing with our taxable year ended December, 31 2011, and to qualify as a RIC thereafter. As a RIC, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders from our tax earnings and profits. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, in order to obtain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gain over realized net long-term capital loss, or the annual distribution requirement. Even if we qualify as a RIC, we generally will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income and could be subject to U.S federal excise, state, local and foreign taxes. We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible U.S. Federal excise tax on certain undistributed income of RICs unless we distribute in a timely manner an amount at least equal to 98% of net ordinary income each calendar year and 98.2% of capital gain net income for the one year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which we paid no federal income taxes. We will generally endeavor each year to avoid any federal excise taxes.

Inflation

The impact of inflation on our portfolio depends on the type of securities we hold. When inflation occurs, the value of our equity securities may fall in the short term. However in the long term, a company’s revenue and earnings and, therefore, the value of the equity investment, should at least increase at the same pace as inflation. The effect of inflation on debt securities is more immediate and direct as inflation may decrease the value of fixed rate debt securities. However, not all debt securities are affected equally, the longer the term of the debt security, the more volatile the value of the investment. The process through which we will value the investments in our portfolio on a quarterly basis, market quotations and our multi-step valuation process as described in our significant accounting policies, will take the effect of inflation into account.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with affiliates of our Adviser, whereby we pay certain fees or reimbursements to our Adviser or its affiliates in connection with asset and service fees, reimbursement of operating costs and offering related costs. See Note 4 – Related Party Transactions and Arrangements in our financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.

Contractual Obligations

The following table shows our payment obligations for repayment of debt and other contractual obligations at June 30, 2012 (dollars in thousands):



			Payment Due by Period

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to interest rate fluctuations. Many factors including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes in earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. During the periods covered by this report, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

As of June 30, 2012, our debt included variable-rate debt, bearing a variable interest rate at the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 3.50%,with a carrying value of $10.0 million. Assuming that our current balance sheet was to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, a 100 basis point move in interest rates up or down from their June 30, 2012 levels, would increase or decrease our interest expense and net income by $0.1 million annually. We are also exposed to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio due to changes in market interest rates. The effect of a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates from their June 30, 2012 levels would result in an increase or decrease in NAV of $0.6 million or 0.94% due to changes in the fair value of our assets. These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate changes on our borrowing costs, and, assume no other changes in our capital structure.

Because we may borrow money to make investments, our net investment income may be dependent on the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of increasing interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Neither we nor our investment adviser are currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I., “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Other than the following, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

We have entered into a total return swap agreement which exposes us to certain risks, including market risk, liquidity risk and other risks similar to those associated with the use of leverage.

On July 13, 2012, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, 405 TRS I, LLC (“TRS Sub”), entered into a total return swap agreement (the “Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”).

A total return swap is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the total return swap, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. The Agreement effectively adds leverage to our 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. The Agreement enables us, through our ownership of TRS Sub, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the Agreement, without actually owning them, in return for an interest-type payment to Citi.

The Agreement is subject to market risk, liquidity risk and risk of imperfect correlation between the value of the total return swap and the loans underlying it. In addition, we may incur certain costs in connection with the Agreement that could in the aggregate be significant.

The obligations under the Agreement are non-recourse to us and our exposure to the Agreement is limited to the amount that we contribute to TRS Sub in connection with the Agreement. Generally, that amount will be the amount that TRS Sub is required to post as cash collateral for each loan (which in most instances is approximately 25% of the market value of a loan at the time that such loan is purchased). TRS Sub may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum aggregate market value (determined at the time such loans become subject to the Agreement) of $50.0 million. The current price of any loan, from day to day, will be calculated by the calculation agent, Citi, as net cash proceeds that would be received from the sale on such date of determination, less the related costs of assigning that obligation.

TRS Sub will pay interest to Citi for each loan at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum. Upon the termination or repayment of any loan selected by TRS Sub under the Agreement, TRS Sub may deduct the appreciation of such loan's value from any interest owed to Citi or pay the depreciation amount to Citi in addition to remaining interest payments.

In addition to customary events of default and termination events included in the form ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, the Agreement contains the following and other customary termination events: (a) a failure to post initial cash collateral or additional cash collateral as required by the Agreement; (b) a default by TRS Sub or us with respect to indebtedness in an amount equal to or greater than the lesser of $10.0 million and 2% of our net asset value at such time; (c) a merger of TRS Sub without us meeting certain criteria; (d) either us or TRS Sub amending its constituent documents in a manner that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; (e) our ceasing to be the sole owner of TRS Sub; (f) our ceasing to be the investment manager of TRS Sub or having authority to enter into transactions under the total return swap on behalf of TRS Sub, and not being replaced by an entity reasonably acceptable to Citibank; (g) in certain circumstances, BDCA Adviser ceasing to be our investment adviser; (h) TRS Sub failing to comply with its investment strategies or restrictions to the extent such non-compliance has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; (i) TRS Sub becoming liable in respect of any obligation for borrowed money, other than arising under the Agreement; (j) we dissolve or liquidate; (k) there occurs, without the prior consent of Citi, any material change to or departure from our policies or the policies of TRS Sub that may not be changed without the vote of our stockholders and that relates to TRS Sub's performance of its obligations under the Agreement; and (l) we violate certain provisions of the 1940 Act or our election to be regulated as a BDC is revoked or withdrawn.

Citi may terminate any individual loan on or after July 13, 2015. However, if at any time, any particular loan fails to meet certain criteria set forth in the Agreement, and such failure continues for 30 days, Citi will have the right to terminate that loan or the entire agreement with at least 10 days' notice and TRS Sub would be required to pay certain breakage costs to Citi. TRS Sub may terminate the Agreement prior to July 13, 2015 but would be required to pay certain termination fees.

We have entered into a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, that contains various covenants which, if not complied with, could accelerate repayment under the credit facility, thereby materially and adversely affecting our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

On July 24, 2012, we, through a newly-formed, wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, BDCA Funding I, LLC (“Funding Sub”), entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender, Wells Fargo Securities, as administrative agent (together, “Wells Fargo”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian. The Credit Facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million on a committed basis, with a term of 48 months.

Under the Credit Facility, we may contribute cash or loans to the Funding Sub from time to time and will retain a residual interest in any assets contributed through its ownership of the Funding Sub or will receive fair market value for any loans sold to the Funding Sub. The Funding Sub may purchase additional loans from various sources. The Funding Sub has appointed us as servicer to manage its portfolio of loans. The Funding Sub's obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Funding Sub, including its portfolio of loans. The obligations of the Funding Sub under the Credit Facility are non-recourse to us.

The Credit Facility will be priced at LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread ranging between 2.00% and 2.75% per annum, depending on the composition of the portfolio of loans owned by Funding Sub for the relevant period. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. The Funding Sub will be subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Credit Facility has not been borrowed. Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable in July 2016. The Funding Sub paid a structuring fee and incurred certain other customary costs and expenses in connection with obtaining the Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base, pursuant to which the amount of funds advanced to the Funding Sub varies depending upon the types of loans in the Funding Sub's portfolio. The Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part, subject to customary breakage costs. In the event that the Credit Facility is terminated prior to the first anniversary, an additional amount is payable to Wells Fargo equal to 2.00% of the maximum amount of the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains customary default provisions for facilities of this type pursuant to which Wells Fargo may terminate the rights, obligations, power and authority of us, in our capacity as servicer of the portfolio assets under the Credit Facility, including, but not limited to, non-performance of Credit Facility obligations, insolvency, defaults of certain financial covenants and other events with respect to us that may be adverse to Wells Fargo and the secured parties under the Credit Facility.

In connection with the Credit Facility, the Funding Sub has made certain representations and warranties, is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities and is subject to customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, Wells Fargo may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Credit Facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of default, the Funding Sub must pay interest at a default rate.

Borrowings of the Funding Sub will be considered our borrowings for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, applicable to business development companies.

The risk factor contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 entitled "Because we borrow money, the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in us will be magnified and may increase the risk of investing in us" is amended by replacing such risk factor in its entirety with the following:

Because we borrow money, the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in us will be magnified and may increase the risk of investing in us.

At December 31, 2011 we had $5.9 million of debt financing through a credit facility we had with Main Street Capital Corporation. On July 13, 2012, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, 405 TRS I, LLC, we entered into a total return swap agreement with Citibank, N.A. and used working capital and certain proceeds from the total return swap to repay all of the obligations under our credit facility with Main Street Capital Corporation.

In addition, on July 24, 2012, through our wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, BDCA Funding I, LLC, we entered into a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender, which provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million on a committed basis, with a term of 48 months. As of August 3, 2012, we have no debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

The use of borrowings, also known as leverage, increases the volatility of investments by magnifying the potential for gain or loss on invested equity capital. Because we use leverage to partially finance our investments, through borrowing from banks and other lenders, you will experience increased risks of investing in our common stock. If the value of our assets increases, leveraging would cause the net asset value attributable to our common stock to increase more sharply than it would have had we not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause our net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any increase in our income in excess of interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase more than it would without the leverage, while any decrease in our income would cause net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to make common stock distribution payments. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique.
