(Unaudited)


Note 1 — Organization and Business Purpose

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 the Company's activities and is responsible for making investment decisions for its portfolio.

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 (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 September 30, 2013, the Company had issued 47.5 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $504.4 million including the shares purchased by the Sponsor and shares issued under the Company's distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP"). As of September 30, 2013, the Company had repurchased 0.1 million shares of common stock for payments of $1.1 million.
    
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”), which was subsequently amended on October 17, 2012, December 7, 2012, May 10, 2013 and July 18, 2013, increasing the maximum possible exposure under the TRS to $275.0 million.

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, which was subsequently amended on September 9, 2013, provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million on a committed basis, with a term of 60 months.

The Company's investment objective is to generate both current income and to a lesser extent long-term capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. 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 may also invest in the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation investment vehicles (“Collateralized Securities”). Structurally, Collateralized Securities are entities that are formed to manage a portfolio of senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in limited circumstances, unrated. The senior secured loans within these Collateralized Securities are limited to senior secured loans which meet specified credit and diversity criteria and are subject to concentration limitations in order to create a diverse investment portfolio. 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 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. On August 13, 2012, the Company entered into a custody agreement with U.S. Bank National Association (“US Bank”). Under the custody agreement, US Bank holds all of the portfolio securities and cash of the Company for certain of its subsidiaries, and transfers such securities or cash pursuant to the Company’s instructions. The custody agreement is terminable by either party, without penalty, on not less than ninety days prior notice to the other party.

Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an entity under common ownership with the Sponsor, serves as the dealer manager of the Company’s IPO. The Adviser and the Dealer Manager are related parties and receive compensation and fees for services related to the IPO and for the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The Adviser receives fees during the offering, operational and liquidation stages, and the Dealer Manager receives fees during the offering stage.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

The Company consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Funding I and 405 Sub. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company's interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Company's interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows:

Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined adequate, the Company uses the quote obtained.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.
    
For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board, ("FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification, ("ASC"), Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, as of the Company's measurement date. However, in determining the fair value of the Company's investment, the Company may make adjustments to the net asset value per share in certain circumstances, based on the Company's analysis of any restrictions on redemption of the shares of the investment as of the measurement date. The value of our TRS is primarily based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, as determined by Citi based upon indicative pricing by an independent third-party pricing service.

For investments in Collateralized Securities, the Company models both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure.  The model uses a waterfall engine to store the collateral data, generate collateral cash flows from the assets, and distribute the cash flows to the liability structure based on the priority of payments. The waterfall cash flows are discounted using rates that incorporate risk factors such as default risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk, among others. In addition, the Company considers broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services as an input to determining fair value when available. 

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 Company's 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.

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

Investment Classification

The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, "control" is defined as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. In addition, any person "who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25 per centum of the voting securities of a company shall be presumed to control such company. Any person who does not so own more than 25 per centum of the voting securities of any company shall be presumed not to control such company". Using this definition, the Company has determined to treat “Control Investments” as investments in companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities, maintains greater than 50% of the board representation or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. Under the 1940 Act, “Affiliated Investments” are defined as those non-control investments in companies in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities. Under the 1940 Act, “Non-affiliated Investments” are defined as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments.

Where appropriate, prior period financial statements have been reclassified to disclose the Company's Control Investments and Affiliate Investments as defined by the 1940 Act.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term, liquid investments such as money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Per section 12(d)(1)(a) of the 1940 Act, the Company may not invest in another registered investment company, including a money market fund, if any of the following occur:

the Company owns more than 3% of the money market fund;

the Company holds securities in the money market fund having an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the value of the total assets of the Company; or

the Company holds securities in money market funds and other registered investment companies having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the value of the total assets of the Company.

Offering Costs

The Company has incurred certain costs in connection with the registration of shares of its common stock. These costs principally relate to professional fees, printing fees, fees paid to the SEC and fees paid to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Offering costs are recorded as a reduction to contributed capital.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company and the Adviser have agreed that the Company will not be liable for offering costs to the extent that, together with all prior offering costs, the amounts exceed 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Company’s on-going offering.

Deferred Credit Facility Financing Costs

Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s revolving Credit Facility are capitalized and amortized into expense using the straight-line method over the life of the respective facility. See Note 5 - Borrowings - for details on the Credit Facility.

Distributions

The Company has declared and paid cash distributions to stockholders on a monthly basis since it commenced operations. The amount of each such distribution is subject to the discretion of the board of directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company will calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using record and declaration dates and accrue distributions on the date the Company accepts a subscription for shares of the Company’s common stock. From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions, including capital gains distributions, at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s distributions may exceed earnings, especially during the period before it has substantially invested the proceeds from the offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions made by the Company may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is a return of each stockholder’s investment rather than earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities.

The Company may fund cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including expense payments from the Adviser that are subject to reimbursement, as well as offering proceeds and borrowings. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions.

Distribution Reinvestment Program

The Company has adopted an “opt in” DRIP pursuant to which investors may elect to have the full amount of their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. Participants in the Company’s DRIP are free to elect or revoke reinstatement in the DRIP within a reasonable time as specified in the plan. If an investor does not elect to participate in the plan, the investor will automatically receive any distributions the Company declares in cash. The Company expects to coordinate distribution payment dates so that the same price that is used for the closing date immediately following such distribution payment date will be used to calculate the purchase price for purchasers under the DRIP. The investors’ reinvested distributions will purchase shares at a price equal to 90% of the price that shares are sold in the offering at the closing immediately following the distribution payment date.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortizations of premium on investments.

The Company has a number of investments in Collateralized Securities. Interest income from investments in the "equity" class of these Collateralized Securities (in the Company's case, preferred shares or subordinated notes) is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC Topic 325-40-35, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. The Company monitors the expected cash inflows from its equity investments in Collateralized Securities, including the expected principal repayments. The effective yield is determined and updated quarterly.
Payment-in-Kind Interest

The Company holds debt investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. The PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, is generally recorded on the accrual basis.


17

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)

Non-accrual income

Investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest/dividend payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current.

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

Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method. The Company measures 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 will reflect 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.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it distributes to stockholders at least 90% of ‘‘Investment Company Taxable Income,’’ as defined in the Code, each year. Distributions paid up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year. The Company is also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute at least 98% of net ordinary income each calendar year, 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 it paid no federal income taxes. The Company will generally endeavor each year to avoid any federal excise taxes.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s board of directors has adopted a Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”) that enables the Company’s stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances.  On September 12, 2012, the Company commenced its first quarterly tender offer pursuant to the SRP. The Company intends to conduct tender offers on a quarterly basis on such terms as may be determined by its board of directors in its complete and absolute discretion unless, in the judgment of the independent directors of its board of directors, such repurchases would not be in the Company’s best interests or would violate applicable law.

The Company currently intends to limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares it can repurchase with the proceeds it receives from the sale of shares under its DRIP. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. In addition, as of the date of this filing, the Company will limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each quarter, though the actual number of shares that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company will offer to repurchase such shares on each date of repurchase at a price equal to 92.5% of the public offering price in effect on each date of repurchase, which will be determined in the same manner that the Company determined the public offering price per share for purposes of its continuous public offering. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ notice.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had repurchased 0.1 million shares of common stock for payments of $1.1 million. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had not repurchased any shares.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC Topic 946), which affects the scope, measurement and disclosure requirements for investment companies under GAAP. The amendments (i) change the approach to the investment company assessment in ASC Topic 946, clarify the characteristics of an investment company, and provide comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company; (ii) require an investment company to measure non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than the equity method of accounting; and (iii) require the following additional disclosures (a) the fact that the entity is an investment company and is applying the guidance in ASC Topic 946, (b) information about changes, if any, in an entity’s status as an investment company, and (c) information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to any of its investees. This guidance is effective for interim an annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013.

In May 2011, 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 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 and, accordingly, the Company has presented the required disclosures (see Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments). The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated 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 hierarchical 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.

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.

September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)

All of the Company’s investment portfolio at September 30, 2013 was comprised of debt and equity instruments for which Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices, are not available. Therefore, at September 30, 2013, the investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the board of directors using Level 2 and 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 September 30, 2013 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 for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined adequate, the Company uses the quote obtained.

Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.

For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, as of the Company's measurement date. However, in determining the fair value of the Company's investment, the Company may make adjustments to the net asset value per share in certain circumstances, based on the Company's analysis of any restrictions on redemption of the shares of the investment as of the measurement date. The value of our TRS is primarily based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, as determined by Citi based upon indicative pricing by an independent third-party pricing service.
    
For investments in Collateralized Securities, the Company models both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure.  The model uses a waterfall engine to store the collateral data, generate collateral cash flows from the assets, and distribute the cash flows to the liability structure based on priority of payments. The waterfall cash flows are discounted using rates that incorporate risk factors such as default risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk, among others. In addition, the Company considers broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services as an input to determining fair value when available. 

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.

The remaining $14.4 million of our Level 3 investments consisted of $5.9 million of equity investments in funds which were valued based on the net asset values published by the fund and $8.5 million of collateralized securities. Since the Company used third party dealer marks to estimate the fair value of its collateralized securities owned at December 31, 2012, the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of assets as of December 31, 2012 have not been provided.

Significant increases or decreases in any of the above unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement for such assets.
    
Note 4 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

The Sponsor, including its wholly owned subsidiary, the Adviser, owns 0.16 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of September 30, 2013.

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.
 
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 nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred $1.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of management fees and waived none of such fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively of management fees, of which the Adviser waived $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred $1.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively of subordinated incentive fees on income of which the Adviser waived $1.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of subordinated incentive fees on income, all of which were waived by the Adviser.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred $1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of capital gains incentive fees under the Advisory Agreement, of which the Adviser waived $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively of capital gains incentive fees under the Advisory Agreement, all of which were waived by the Adviser.

For accounting purposes only, the Company is required under U.S. GAAP to also accrue a theoretical capital gains incentive fee based upon unrealized capital appreciation on investments held at the end of each period. The accrual of this theoretical capital gains incentive fee assumes all unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation is realized in order to reflect a capital gains incentive fee that would theoretically be payable to the Adviser as if the investments were liquidated on such date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred $1.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of theoretical capital gains incentive fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company did not incur any theoretical capital gains incentive fees. The amounts actually paid to the Adviser will be consistent with the Advisers Act and formula reflected in the Advisory Agreement which specifically excludes consideration of unrealized capital appreciation.

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 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 cash and/or offsets against amounts due from the Company to the Adviser.

Operating expenses subject to this agreement include 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 Expense Support Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Adviser for Expense Support Payments within three years of the date that the expense support payment obligation was incurred by the Adviser, subject to the conditions described below. The amount of any reimbursement during any calendar quarter will be limited to an amount that does not cause the Company's other operating expenses to exceed 1.5% of its net assets attributable to common shares after taking such reimbursement payment into account.

In addition, the Company will only make reimbursement payments if its “operating expense ratio” (as described in footnote 1 to the table below) is equal to or less than its operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding expense payment was incurred and if the annualized rate of the Company's regular cash distributions to stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of its regular cash distributions to stockholders at the time the corresponding expense payment was incurred.

"Operating Expense Ratio" is expressed as a percentage of net assets and includes all expenses borne by us, except for organizational and offering expenses, base management and incentive fees owed to our Adviser and interest expense.
(2)
"Annualized Distribution Rate" equals the annualized rate of distributions paid to stockholders based on the amount of the regular cash distribution paid immediately prior to the date the expense support payment obligation was incurred by our Adviser. "Annualized Distribution Rate" does not include special cash or stock distributions paid to stockholders.
(3)
"N/A"- Not Applicable

If an Expense Support Payment has not been reimbursed within three years of the date such Expense Support Payment was incurred, the Company’s obligation to pay such Expense Support Payment shall automatically terminate and be of no further effect.
 
The Company has recorded $1.1 million and $1.6 million as due from affiliate on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which reflects the netting of amounts due from the Adviser and affiliates and amounts due from the Company. On August 24, 2012, the Adviser made a payment to the Company in the amount of $0.8 million for $1.0 million of operating expenses pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement netted against $0.2 million due from the Company to the Adviser as reimbursement for payments made by the Adviser on behalf of the Company. As of September 30, 2013, the Adviser had assumed on a cumulative basis, $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 September 30, 2013, 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; however, the Company may, but is not obligated to, pay certain amounts back to the Adviser over time. As of December 31, 2012, offering costs in the amount of $1.6 million had 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 Corporation ("Main Street"). The line was available to the Company until January 2013 and permitted the Company to periodically draw on the available funds to purchase securities or pay certain expenses. The line of credit had a variable interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 3.50%. 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. The Company was not required to pay any prepayment penalty in connection with such repayment. The Company expensed all remaining deferred financing costs associated with the Company's credit facility with Main Street. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred no interest expense on the credit facility with Main Street since all of the obligations were repaid on July 24, 2012. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred interest expense related to the outstanding borrowings on the credit facility with Main Street in the amount of $0.02 million and $0.02 million, respectively.

On July 24, 2012, the Company, through a newly-formed, wholly-owned special purpose financing subsidiary, Funding I, entered into the Credit Facility with Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian. The Credit Facility, which was subsequently amended on September 9, 2013, provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million on a committed basis, with a term of 60 months.

The Company may contribute cash or loans to Funding I from time to time to 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 the one month maturity LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread ranging between 1.75% and 2.50% 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. The non-usage fee per annum for the first six months is 0.50%; thereafter, the non-usage fee per annum is 0.50% for the first 20% of the unused balance and 2.0% for the portion of the unused balance that exceeds 20%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred $0.2 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, of non-usage fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $0.04 million and $0.04 million of non-usage fees, respectively. Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable in April 2018.

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. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with regards to the Credit Facility covenants. 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 1940 Act, applicable to business development companies.
    
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had gross deferred credit facility financing costs of $2.4 million, net of accumulated amortization of $0.3 million in connection with the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had deferred credit facility financing costs of $0.8 million, net of accumulated amortization of $0.09 million in connection with the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2013, $61.7 million was drawn on the Credit Facility. At December 31, 2012, $33.9 million was drawn on the Credit Facility. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred interest expense related to the outstanding borrowings on the Credit Facility in the amount of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred interest expense related to the outstanding borrowings on the Credit Facility in the amount of $0.05 million and $0.05 million.

The weighted average annualized interest cost for all borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was 2.43% and 2.99%, respectively. The average debt outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was $34.8 million and $9.9 million, respectively. The maximum debt outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $61.7 million and $14.8 million, respectively.

Note 6 — Total Return Swap

On July 13, 2012, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 405 Sub, entered into a TRS with Citi, which was amended on October 17, 2012, December 7, 2012, May 10, 2013 and July 18, 2013 to increase the aggregate market value of the portfolio of loans selected by 405 Sub.
 
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 TRS, 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). The cash collateral on deposit as of September 30, 2013 was $58.1 million. The cash collateral on deposit as of December 31, 2012 was $19.2 million. As amended, the TRS provides that 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 $275.0 million.

405 Sub pays interest to Citi for each loan at a rate equal to one-month or three-month LIBOR, depending on the terms of the loan, plus 1.20% 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.

The Company values its TRS in accordance with the agreements between 405 Sub and Citi, which collectively establish the TRS and are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citi. Citi bases its valuation primarily on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company for review and testing. The Company's management reviews and approves the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly valuation process. To the extent the Company's management has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuations are discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS.

The fair value of the TRS is reflected as an unrealized gain or loss on the total return swap on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The change in value of the TRS is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the total return swap.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the TRS was $2.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013, 405 Sub had exposure to 30 underlying loans with a total notional amount of $230.8 million and posted $58.1 million in cash collateral held by Citibank, which is reflected in cash collateral on deposit with custodian on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2012, 405 Sub had exposure to 17 underlying loans with a total notional amount of $71.7 million and posted $19.2 million in cash collateral held by Citibank, which is reflected in cash collateral on deposit with custodian on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company as a BDC, the Company has agreed with the staff of the SEC to treat the outstanding notional amount of the TRS, less the initial amount of any cash collateral posted by 405 Sub under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

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

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 8 — Economic Dependency
 
Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Adviser and its affiliates and entities under common ownership with the Adviser to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, transfer agency services, 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, transaction management 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 9 — Common Stock

Note 10 — Share Repurchase Program

The Company intends to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company’s board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:

 
the effect of such repurchases on the Company's qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);
 
the liquidity of the Company's assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);
 
the Company's investment plans and working capital requirements;
 
the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company's size;
 
the Company's history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof; and
 
the condition of the securities markets.
    
The Company currently intends to limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares it can repurchase with the proceeds it receives from the sale of shares under its DRIP. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. In addition, as of September 30, 2013, the Company will limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each quarter, though the actual number of shares that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company will offer to repurchase such shares on each date of repurchase at a price equal to 92.5% of the public offering price in effect on each date of repurchase, which will be determined in the same manner that the Company determined the public offering price per share for purposes of its continuous public offering. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ notice. The first quarterly tender offer commenced on September 12, 2012 and was completed on October 8, 2012. Upon completion of its first quarterly tender offer, on October 8, 2012, the Company repurchased 0 shares at the offered price of $9.7125 per share for aggregate consideration totaling $0. The second quarterly tender offer commenced on December 13, 2012 and was completed on January 15, 2013. Upon completion of this tender offer on January 15, 2013, the Company repurchased 10,732 shares at the offered price of $9.8975 per share for aggregate consideration totaling $0.1 million. The third quarterly tender offer commenced on March 27, 2013, which was completed on April 25, 2013. Upon completion of this tender offer, the Company repurchased 29,625 shares at the offered price of $10.18 per share for aggregate consideration totaling $0.3 million. The fourth quarterly tender offer commenced on July 15, 2013, which was completed on August 13, 2013. Upon completion of this tender offer, the Company repurchased 30,365 shares at the offered price of $10.18 per share for aggregate consideration totaling $0.3 million.

Note 11 — Net Increase 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 September 30, 2013 and 2012.

On February 5, 2013, the Company's board of directors authorized, and the Company declared an increase to its public offering price per share from $10.70 to $10.80, which became effective for shares purchased in the semi-monthly closing on February 18, 2013. The Company's board of directors also approved an increase of the Company's annualized distribution, in order to sustain a 7.75% annualized distribution rate, based upon the increase to the Company's public offering price.


On February 25, 2013, the Company's board of directors authorized, and the Company declared an increase to its public offering price per share from $10.80 to $10.90, which became effective for shares purchased in the semi-monthly closing on March 1, 2013. The Company's board of directors also approved an increase of the Company's annualized distribution, in order to sustain a 7.75% annualized distribution rate, based upon the increase to the Company's public offering price.

On April 3, 2013, the Company's board of directors authorized, and the Company declared an increase of the Company's public offering price of its common shares from $10.90 to $11.00 per share. The increase became effective with the Company's semi-monthly closing scheduled on or about April 16, 2013. The Company's board of directors also approved an increase of the Company's annualized distribution, in order to sustain a 7.75% annualized distribution rate, based upon the increase to the Company's public offering price.

On August 15, 2013, the Company's board of directors authorized, and the Company declared an increase of the Company's public offering price of its common shares from $11.00 to $11.10 per share. The increase became effective with the Company's semi-monthly closing, which occurred on August 16, 2013 and is consistent with the Company's pricing policy, which ensures that its net offering price per share will not be less than its net asset value per share. The Company's board of directors also approved an increase of the Company's annualized distribution, in order to sustain a 7.75% annualized distribution rate, based upon the increase to the Company's public offering price.

Note 12 — 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 the Company will make may represent a return of capital for tax purposes. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had accrued $3.3 million in stockholder distributions that were unpaid. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had accrued $1.0 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.

_______________

(1) 
The per share data was derived by using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Net investment income per share excluding the expense support reimbursement and waiver of management and incentive fees equals $0.18 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Net investment income per share excluding the expense support reimbursement and waiver of management and incentive fees equals $0.80 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

(2) 
The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions declared per share during the period.

(3) 
The issuance of common stock on a per share basis reflects the incremental net asset value changes as a result of the issuance of shares of common stock in the Company’s continuous offering.

(4) 
The per share impact of the Company's repurchases of common stock is a reduction to net asset value of less than
$0.01 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company had no repurchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

(5) 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, excluding the expense support reimbursements and waiver of management and incentive fees, the ratio of net investment income, operating expenses and incentive fees to average net assets was 2.43%, 5.90% and 2.64%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, excluding the expense support reimbursement and waiver of management and incentive fees, the ratio of net investment income, operating expenses and incentive fees to average net assets was 2.76%, 7.88% and 2.06%, respectively.

(6) 
Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of shares of common stock at the current net asset value on the first day and a sale at the current net asset value on the last day of the periods reported. Distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the DRIP. The total return based on net asset value for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, includes the effect of the expense support reimbursement and waiver of management and incentive fees which equaled 0.64%. The total return based on net asset value for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, includes the effect of the expense support reimbursement and waiver of management and incentive fees which equaled 3.81%.

(7) 
Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of year-to-date purchases or sales over the average of the invested assets at fair value.

(8) 
Ratios are annualized.

Note 14 – 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 consolidated financial statements except for the following:

Subsequent to September 30, 2013 through the date of issuance of the financial statements included herein, the Company has purchased 19 debt investments and 4 equity investments with an aggregate face value of $115.4 million for $114.8 million in cash and sold 8 debt investments and 3 equity investments with an aggregate carrying value of $12.3 million for an aggregate redemption value of $13.0 million in cash resulting in a realized gain of $0.7 million.
    
From October 1, 2013 to November 13, 2013, the Company has issued 7.8 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 $85.3 million.

On October 15, 2013, the Company, through 405 Sub, amended and restated its total return swap agreement (the "Fifth Amended Agreement") with Citi. The Fifth Amended Agreement increases the maximum aggregate market value of the portfolio of loans that 405 Sub may select from $275.0 million to $350.0 million.

The fifth quarterly tender offer commenced on October 22, 2013 and is expected to be completed on November 21, 2013. The maximum expected consideration for the repurchased shares would be $1.8 million based upon the maximum repurchase of 174,682 shares at $10.36 which is 92.5% of the current public offering price of $11.20.

On October 29, 2013, the Company's board of directors authorized, and the Company declared, an increase of the Company's public offering price of its common shares from $11.10 to $11.20 per share. The increase became effective with the Company's semi-monthly closing, which occurred on November 1, 2013, and is consistent with the Company's pricing policy, which ensures that its net offering price per share will not be less than its net asset value per share. The Company's board of directors also approved an increase of the Company's annualized distribution, in order to sustain a 7.75% annualized distribution rate, based upon the increase to the Company's public offering price.

Overview

We are a specialty finance company incorporated in Maryland in May 2010. We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We are therefore required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. We have elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually, hereafter, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We are managed by BDCA Adviser, LLC (the "Adviser"), a private investment firm that is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Adviser oversees the management of our activities and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to our portfolio. Our Adviser is controlled by Nicholas S. Schorsch, our chairman and chief executive officer, and William M. Kahane, one of our directors, through their ownership of AR Capital, LLC (the "Sponsor").


42



On January 25, 2011, we commenced our 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. We sold 22,222 shares of common stock to our Adviser 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 raised sufficient funds to break escrow on our IPO and commenced operations as of that date. As of September 30, 2013, we had issued 47.5 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $504.4 million including the shares purchased by the Sponsor and shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP"). As of September 30, 2013, we had repurchased 0.1 million shares of common stock for payments of $1.1 million.

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”), which was last amended July 18, 2013 to increase the aggregate market value of the portfolio of loans selected by 405 Sub to $275.0 million. 405 Sub is included within our consolidated financial statements. As amended, the TRS provides that 405 Sub may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum aggregate value (determined at the time such loans become subject to the TRS) of $275.0 million. The consolidated financial statements include both our accounts and the accounts of 405 Sub. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 which was last amended on September 9, 2013, provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million on a committed basis, with a term of 60 months. Funding I is included within our consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include both our accounts and the accounts of Funding I. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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.

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.

Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory and Management Services Agreement we have with the Adviser (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), we pay the Adviser a fee for its services consisting of two components - a management fee and an incentive fee. The management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of our average gross assets and is payable quarterly in arrears.

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which we refer to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. The payment of the subordinated incentive fee on income is subject to payment of a preferred return to investors each quarter, expressed as a quarterly rate of return on adjusted capital at the beginning of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 1.75% (7.00% annualized), subject to a “catch up” feature.
    

43



The second part of the incentive fee, referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the portfolio and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of our incentive fee capital gains, which equals our 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.

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. On August 13, 2012, we entered into a custody agreement with U.S. Bank National Association (“US Bank”). Under the custody agreement, US Bank will hold all of our portfolio securities and cash for certain of our subsidiaries, and will transfer such securities or cash pursuant to our instructions. The custody agreement is terminable by either party, without penalty, on not less than ninety days prior notice to the other party. The Dealer Manager, an entity under common ownership with 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 will receive fees during the offering, operational and liquidation stages while the Dealer Manager will receive fees during the offering stage. The Adviser will pay to the Administrator a portion of the fees payable to the Adviser for the performance of these support services.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis we perform an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows:

Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. We may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, we determine whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined adequate, we use the quote obtained.


44



Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.

For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, we measure the fair value of our investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification, ("ASC"), Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, as of our measurement date. However, in determining the fair value of our investment, we may make adjustments to the net asset value per share in certain circumstances, based on our analysis of any restrictions on redemption of our shares of our investment as of the measurement date. The value of our TRS is primarily based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, as determined by Citi based upon indicative pricing by an independent third-party pricing service.

For investments in Collateralized Securities, we model both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure.  The model uses a waterfall engine to store the collateral data, generate collateral cash flows from the assets, and distribute the cash flows to the liability structure based on priority of payments. The waterfall cash flows are discounted using rates that incorporate risk factors such as default risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk, among others. In addition, we consider broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services as an input to determining fair value when available. 

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 consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on our consolidated 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 to stockholders at least 90% of its ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each year. Distributions paid to stockholders up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. We intend to make sufficient distributions to maintain our 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

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2013-08, Financial Services – Investment Companies (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946), which affects the scope, measurement and disclosure requirements for investment companies under GAAP. The amendments (i) change the approach to the investment company assessment in ASC Topic 946, clarify the characteristics of an investment company, and provide comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company; (ii) require an investment company to measure non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than the equity method of accounting; and (iii) require the following additional disclosures (a) the fact that the entity is an investment company and is applying the guidance in ASC Topic 946, (b) information about changes, if any, in an entity’s status as an investment company, and (c) information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to any of its investees. This guidance is effective for interim an annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013.

In May 2011, 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 our 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 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 and, accordingly, the Company has presented the required disclosures (see Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments). The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations as the guidance relates only to disclosure requirements.

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.


46



Portfolio and Investment Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we made $477.8 million of investments in new portfolio companies and had $189.0 million in aggregate amount of exits and repayments, resulting in net investments of $288.8 million for the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we made $148.2 million of investments in new portfolio companies and had $62.7 million in aggregate amount of exits and repayments, resulting in net investments of $85.5 million for the period.

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.

The weighted average risk rating of our investments based on amortized cost was 2.02 as of September 30, 2013 and 2.03 as of December 31, 2012.

Investment Income

The increase in total investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, was primarily due to the increase in the size of the portfolio. Portfolio investments, at amortized cost, increased from $100.9 million at September 30, 2012 to $426.7 million at September 30, 2013.

Interest and credit facility expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased from the corresponding period in 2012 due to the increase in the average amount of debt outstanding from $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $34.8 million for the comparable period in 2013. Interest and credit facility expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were comprised of amortization of deferred financing costs related to our Credit Facility.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $1.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of management fees, of which the Adviser waived none of such fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of management fees, of which the Adviser waived $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $1.8 million, and $3.6 million, respectively, of incentive fees, of which the Adviser waived $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, incentive fees of $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, were incurred but waived by the Adviser. The increase in management fees was driven by an increase in average assets from $77.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $397.5 million for the comparable period in 2013. The $3.0 million and $5.7 million of incentive fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was driven by $1.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of subordinated incentive fees which are based primarily on interest income. The remainder constituted capital gains incentive fees.

We have entered into the Expense Support Agreement with our Adviser, whereby the Adviser may pay up to 100% of all of our operating expenses (“Expense Support Payment”) for any period beginning on the effective date of the Registration Statement, until we and the Adviser mutually agree otherwise. The Expense Support Payment for any month shall be paid to us by the Adviser in cash and/or offsets against amounts due from us to the Adviser. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, no Expense Support Payment was made by our Adviser. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, $0.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in Expense Support Payments were made by our Adviser.

Net Realized Gain from Investments

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold $53.9 million and $189.0 million, respectively, of assets, resulting in $0.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of realized gains from investments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had $39.2 million and $62.7 million, respectively, of principal repayments, resulting in $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of realized gains from investments.

Net Realized Gain from Total Return Swap

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had $4.0 million, and $8.7 million, respectively, of realized gains from the TRS. Please see Note 6 – Total Return Swap – in our consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information about the realized gains generated by loans held under the TRS. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of realized gains from the TRS.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on Investments

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, our investments had $5.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of unrealized appreciation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, our investments had $1.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of unrealized appreciation.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on Total Return Swap

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, our investments in the TRS had $0.03 million and $2.3 million of unrealized appreciation. The appreciation of the investments in the TRS was driven by the decrease in yields on comparable assets in the market. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, our investments in the TRS had $0.6 million and $0.6 million of unrealized appreciation.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $284.2 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. The increase in cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to $477.8 million for purchases of investments partially offset by $189.0 million for sales and repayments of investments and $7.1 million from a net increase in net investment income. The purchase and sales activity is driven by the increase in investment activity resulting from the continuous equity capital raising and growing capital base.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $325.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily related to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $310.7 million and proceeds from the Credit Facility of $57.5 million. These inflows were partially offset by principal repayments on debt of $29.7 million and payments of stockholder distributions of $10.4 million. Consistent with the increase in investment activity, the proceeds from the issuance of common stock are the result of our increasing equity raise capabilities.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
    
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $83.0 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 were mainly due to a net increase in net assets of $5.8 million adjusted for $148.3 million for purchases of investments, $3.5 million from increase in unsettled trades receivable, $0.9 million from net realized gain from investments, $1.2 million from net unrealized appreciation on investments, $0.6 million from net unrealized appreciation on total return swap, $0.3 million from increase in receivable due on total return swap, $11.4 million from increase in cash collateral on deposit with custodian, $0.1 million from increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, $0.02 million from decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $1.0 million from increase in interest receivable offset by cash provided by operating activities of $62.7 million for repayments of investments, $15.6 million from increase in unsettled trades payable, $0.1 million from increase in interest and credit facility fees payable and a non-cash item of $0.1 million (amortization of deferred credit facility financing costs).

Net cash provided by financing activities of $87.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $81.1 million and proceeds from the Credit Facility of $18.9 million. These inflows were partially offset by payments of deferred offering costs of $0.4 million, payments of financing cost of $0.8 million, principal repayments of debt of $10.0 million and payments of stockholder distributions of $1.8 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We generate cash from the net proceeds of our ongoing continuous public offering and 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 approximately $1.5 billion of shares of our common stock (150.0 million shares at an initial offering price of $10.00 per share) (the "Offering"), was declared effective on January 27, 2011. As of September 30, 2013, we had issued 47.5 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $504.4 million, including shares issued to the 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 share 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.

We have entered into the Expense Support Agreement with our Adviser, whereby the Adviser may pay the Expense Support Payment for any period beginning on the effective date of the Registration Statement, until we and the Adviser mutually agree otherwise. The purpose of the Expense Support Agreement was to reduce our offering and operating expenses until we had achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that we were able to bear a reasonable level of expense in relation to our investment income. The Expense Support Payment for any month shall be paid to us by the Adviser in cash and/or offsets against amounts due from us to the Adviser. Operating expenses subject to this agreement include expenses as defined by U.S. GAAP, including, without limitation, advisory fees payable and interest on indebtedness for such period, if any. As of September 30, 2013, the Adviser had made payments to the Company for $1.0 million of expenses pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement. See Note 4 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - Expense Support Agreement - in our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information on this arrangement, including Expense Payments made by our Adviser pursuant to the terms of this agreement and the ability of the Adviser to be reimbursed for Expense Payments made to us.

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 BDCs 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. The line of credit bore a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus 3.50%. 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. 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 Sub, entered into a TRS with Citi, which was last amended on July 18, 2013, to increase the aggregate market value of the portfolio of loans selected by 405 Sub.     

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). As amended, the TRS provides that 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 $275.0 million.

405 Sub will pay interest to Citi for each loan at a rate equal to one-month or three-month LIBOR, depending on the terms of the underlying loan, plus 1.20% 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.

As of September 30, 2013, we had $58.1 million in cash held as collateral by Citi under the terms of the TRS.

Wells Fargo Credit Facility

On July 24, 2012, we, through a newly-formed, wholly-owned special purpose financing subsidiary, Funding I, entered into the Credit Facility with Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian. The Credit Facility, which was last amended on September 9, 2013, provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million on a committed basis, with a term of 60 months.

We may contribute cash or loans to Funding I from time to time to 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 will be priced at one month maturity LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread ranging between 1.75% and 2.50% 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. The non-usage fee per annum for the first six months is 0.50%; thereafter, the non-usage fee per annum is 0.50% for the first 20% of the unused balance and 2.0% for the portion of the unused balance that exceeds 20%. Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable in April 2018.


58



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. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with regards to the Credit Facility covenants. 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 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.

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 our borrowings for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs.

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.

As of September 30, 2013, we had $61.7 million outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Distributions

We have declared and paid cash distributions to our stockholders on a monthly basis since we commenced operations. As of September 30, 2013, the annualized yield for distributions declared was 7.75% based on our then current public offering price of $11.00 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013, we declared $9.0 million and $18.9 million, respectively, in cash distributions and paid distributions of $8.0 million and $16.7 million, respectively, which consists of $4.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively, in cash and $3.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively, issued pursuant to the DRIP. As of September 30, 2013, we had $3.3 million of distributions accrued and unpaid. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we declared $1.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in distributions and paid distributions of $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, which consists of $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in cash and $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, issued pursuant to the DRIP.

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

On December 20, 2012, we announced that, pursuant to the authorization of our board of directors, we declared a special cash distribution equal to $0.0925 per share, to be paid to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 17, 2012, payable on December 27, 2012. This special cash distribution was paid exclusive of, and in addition to, our monthly distribution.


59



We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to us including expense payments from our Adviser that are subject to reimbursement to it as well as offering proceeds and borrowings. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. Prior to June 30, 2012, a substantial portion of our distributions resulted from Expense Support Payments made by our Adviser that are subject to reimbursement by us within three years from the date such payment obligations were incurred. The purpose of this arrangement could be to avoid such distributions being characterized as returns of capital for GAAP or tax purposes. Despite this, we may still have distributions which could be characterized as a return of capital for tax purposes. However, during the year ended December 31, 2012, no portion of our distributions was characterized as a return of capital for tax purposes. You should understand that any such distributions were not based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or our Adviser continues to make such reimbursements. You should also understand that our future reimbursements of such Expense Support Payments will reduce the distributions that you would otherwise receive. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the performance necessary to sustain our distributions or that we will be able to pay distributions at all. The Adviser has no obligation to make Expense Support Payments in future periods. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, if Expense Support Payments of $0.3 million were not made by our Adviser, approximately 4% percent of the distribution rate would have been a return of capital.

We consider our entire managed investment portfolio to include the investments in our portfolio included in our Consolidated Schedule of Investments as well as assets held in our TRS portfolio, which are considered off-balance sheet. Our Adviser selects and underwrites all of these investments and we measure their performance based on this managed portfolio. Our net investment income also does not include the interest income and expense related to the TRS portfolio. In accordance with GAAP, interest income and expense related to the TRS are accounted for as a component of “Net realized gain from total return swap.” The following table sets forth the computation of adjusted net investment income (loss) for the managed investment portfolio by adding the interest income from the TRS, the short-term realized gains, and the theoretical incentive fees on unrealized capital gains to the net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Operating gains include short-term realized gains that result primarily from active portfolio management activities. As a RIC, short-term capital gains represent operating income available for distribution and are considered ordinary income.
(3) 
Incentive fees on unrealized gains are the GAAP-required theoretical incentive fees accrued based upon unrealized portfolio appreciation. These fees reduce net investment income but are not contractually due to the Adviser. See Note 4 - Related Party Transactions and Agreements - in our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional details on the theoretical capital gains incentive fees.

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 intend 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 maintain our qualification 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 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. Our transfer agent, American National Stock Transfer, LLC, is a related party. The business was formed on November 2, 2012 and began providing certain transfer agency services for us on March 15, 2013. The Dealer Manager, an entity under common ownership with the Sponsor, serves as the dealer manager of our IPO. The Dealer Manager receives fees for services related to the IPO during the offering stage. See Note 4 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - in our consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources other than the TRS as discussed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources – Total Return Swap – section of Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this report.


62



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 September 30, 2013, our debt included variable-rate debt, bearing a variable interest rate at the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 2.17% at September 30, 2013 with a carrying value of $61.7 million. The following table quantifies the potential changes in interest income net of interest expense should interest rates increase by 100 or 200 basis points or decrease by 25 basis points assuming that our current balance sheet was to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity.

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 this 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 quarter ended September 30, 2013 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 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, 2012, 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, 2012.

To the extent that our Adviser serves as a “joint bookrunner” in connection with the underwriting of a loan or other security to be acquired, it may be subject to underwriter liability under the federal securities laws. This liability can be managed principally through the exercise of due diligence regarding any such offering. In addition, if it acts as joint bookrunner for a loan or other securities offering and is not successful in syndicating the loan or offering, our Adviser may acquire a larger amount of the subject securities than it had planned, and it may be required to hold such loan or security for a longer period than it had anticipated.

It could be determined that our Adviser is serving as a joint bookrunner in connection with offerings of loans or other securities in connection with providing investment advisory services to us in connection with our ongoing operations and the management of our portfolio. A joint bookrunner is one of multiple lead managers of a securities issuance which syndicates the issuance of securities with other bookrunners and syndicate firms to lower the risk of selling the security for each syndicate member. In acting as a joint bookrunner, our Adviser may be required to perform due diligence on certain offerings before they are syndicated and sold, subjecting our Adviser to underwriter liabilities under federal securities laws in connection with the offer and sale of such securities. Furthermore, in leading an underwriting syndicate, our Adviser, in acting as a joint bookrunner, could be obligated to sell a large portion of an offering of securities should it be unable to put together a substantial enough underwriting syndicate, perhaps obligating it to hold such security for a longer period of time than it had originally anticipated. By being deemed a joint bookrunner, our Adviser would be obligated to perform duties for other issuers while still managing our portfolio, thus reducing the amount of time it allocates to us and subjecting it to liabilities and financial obligations.

American National Stock Transfer, LLC, our affiliated transfer agent, has a limited operating history and a failure by our transfer agent to perform its functions for us effectively may adversely affect our operations.

Our transfer agent is a related party which was recently launched as a new business. The business was formed on November 2, 2012 and has not had any significant operations to date. On March 15, 2013, our transfer agent began providing certain transfer agency services for programs sponsored directly or indirectly by AR Capital, LLC. Because of its limited experience, there is no assurance that our transfer agent will be able to effectively provide transfer agency and registrar services to us. Furthermore, our transfer agent will be responsible for supervising third party service providers who may, at times, be responsible for executing certain transfer agency and registrar services. If our transfer agent fails to perform its functions for us effectively, our operations may be adversely affected.


64



It is unclear how increased regulatory oversight and changes in the method for determining LIBOR may affect the value of the financial obligations to be held or issued by us that are linked to LIBOR, or how such changes could affect our results of operations or financial condition.
 
As a result of concerns about the accuracy of the calculation of LIBOR, a number of British Bankers' Association, or BBA, member banks entered into settlements with certain regulators and law enforcement agencies with respect to the alleged manipulation of LIBOR, and there are ongoing investigations by regulators and governmental authorities in various jurisdictions. Following a review of LIBOR conducted at the request of the U.K. government, on September 28, 2012, recommendations for reforming the setting and governing of LIBOR were released, which are referred to as the Wheatley Review. The Wheatley Review made a number of recommendations for changes with respect to LIBOR, including the introduction of S-5 statutory regulation of LIBOR, the transfer of responsibility for LIBOR from the BBA to an independent administrator, changes to the method of the compilation of lending rates and new regulatory oversight and enforcement mechanisms for rate-setting and a reduction in the number of currencies and tenors for which LIBOR is published. Based on the Wheatley Review and on a subsequent public and governmental consultation process, on March 25, 2013, the U.K. Financial Services Authority published final rules for the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority's regulation and supervision of LIBOR, which are referred to as the FCA Rules. In particular, the FCA Rules include requirements that (1) an independent LIBOR administrator monitor and survey LIBOR submissions to identify breaches of practice standards and/or potentially manipulative behavior, and (2) firms submitting data to LIBOR establish and maintain a clear conflicts of interest policy and appropriate systems and controls. The FCA Rules took effect on April 2, 2013. It is uncertain what additional regulatory changes or what changes, if any, in the method of determining LIBOR may be required or made by the U.K. government or other governmental or regulatory authorities. Accordingly, uncertainty as to the nature of such changes may adversely affect the market for or value of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, derivatives and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us or on our overall financial condition or results of operations. In addition, any further changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, derivatives and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us or on our overall financial condition or results of operations.
