Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation
Business Development Corporation of America (the “Company”), incorporated in Maryland on May 5, 2010, is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and is applying the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services - Investment Companies" ("ASC 946"). 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 “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser was formed in Delaware as a limited liability company 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. The Adviser is indirectly wholly-owned by the sponsor, AR Capital, LLC (the "Sponsor").
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 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. On February 1, 2012, our Adviser contributed an additional $1,300,000 to purchase 140,784 shares of our common stock at $9.234 per share so that the aggregate contribution by our Adviser was $1,500,000. Our Adviser will not tender any amount of its shares for repurchase as long it continues to serve as our investment adviser. On July 1, 2014, the Company's registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-193241) for its follow-on offering (the "Follow-on") was declared effective by the SEC. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the registration statement of the Follow-on, the Company's IPO terminated. Under the Follow-on, the Company can offer up to 101,100,000 shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had issued 165.7 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $1.8 billion including the shares purchased by the Sponsor and shares issued under the Company's distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP"). As of March 31, 2015, the Company had repurchased 1.0 million shares of common stock for payments of $10.6 million. However, beginning April 30, 2015 we intend to stop accepting new subscription agreements dated after that date but will continue to accept subscription agreements dated on or prior to April 30, 2015 until June 30, 2015. See Note 16 - Subsequent Events for more information regarding the close of our Follow-on offering.
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 invests primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt issued by middle market companies. The Company defines middle market companies as those with annual revenues between $10 million and $1 billion. 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 may 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 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 generally range between approximately 0.5% to 3.0% of its total assets. In most cases, companies to whom the Company provides customized financing solutions will be privately held.
On July 13, 2012, the Company, through a wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary, 405 TRS I, LLC (“405 Sub”), entered into a total return swap agreement (“TRS”) with Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”). The Company terminated its amended and restated TRS with Citi on June 27, 2014.

On June 27, 2014, the Company, through a wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, BDCA-CB Funding, LLC (formerly 405 TRS I, LLC) (“CB Funding”), entered into a revolving credit facility ("Citi Credit Facility") with Citi as administrative agent and U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank") as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian. The Citi Credit Facility provides for borrowings over a twenty four month period in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million on a committed basis, subject to the administrative agent’s right to approve the assets acquired by the CB Funding and pledged as collateral under the Citi Credit Facility. The condensed consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of CB-Funding. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In connection with the Citi Credit Facility, on June 27, 2014, CB Funding entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with 405 Loan Funding LLC (“Loan Funding”), an affiliate of Citi formed for the purpose of holding loans underlying a TRS with CB Funding. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, CB Funding acquired such loans through the merger of Loan Funding with and into CB Funding. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CB Funding paid approximately $389.0 million for the assets held by Loan Funding.
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 April 26, 2013 and September 9, 2013, and June 30, 2014 provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million on a committed basis, with a term of 60 months.
On February 21, 2014, the Company, through a newly-formed, wholly-owned, consolidated special purpose financing subsidiary, BDCA 2L Funding I, LLC ("2L Funding I"), entered into a revolving credit facility (the "Deutsche Bank Credit Facility") with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch as administrative agent and U.S. Bank as collateral agent and collateral custodian. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million on a committed basis, with a 36 month term. The condensed consolidated financial statements include both the Company's accounts and the accounts of 2L Funding I. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company has formed and expects to continue to form consolidated subsidiaries (the "Consolidated Holding Companies") to hold equity securities of portfolio companies. These Consolidated Holding Companies enable the Company to hold equity securities of portfolio companies organized as pass-through entities while continuing to satisfy the requirements of a RIC under the Code. Any tax payable by a Consolidated Holding Company is included as an expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2015, 54th Street Equity Holdings, Inc., Kahala Aviation Holdings, LLC, Kahala Aviation US, Inc., Kahala LuxCo, and Park Ave RE, Inc. were the only Consolidated Holding Companies.
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 (“U.S. Bank”). Under the custody agreement, U.S. 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 control with the Sponsor, serves as the dealer manager of the Company’s IPO and serves as the dealer manager of the Company's Follow-on. The Adviser and the Dealer Manager are related parties and receive compensation and fees for services related to the IPO and Follow-on and for the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The Adviser receives fees during the offering and operational 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 the following subsidiaries for accounting purposes: Funding I, 2L Funding I, CB Funding, and the Consolidated Holding Companies. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In conjunction with the consolidation of subsidiaries, the Company recognizes non-controlling interests attributable to third party ownership in the following Consolidated Holding Companies: Kahala Aviation Holdings, LLC, Kahala Aviation US, Inc., and Kahala LuxCo.
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 Regulation S-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, the financial statements may not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2015.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
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 readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board, ("FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification, ("ASC"), Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, as of the Company's measurement date.
Prior to its termination in June 2014, the value of our TRS was 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, both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure are modeled. 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, broker quotations and/or comparable trade activity is considered as an input to determining fair value when available.
As part of the Company's quarterly valuation process the Adviser may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company. The board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and the independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable).
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% of the voting securities of a company shall be presumed to control such company. Any person who does not so own more than 25% 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. Consistent with 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. Consistent with 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 above. In addition, prior period financial statements have been reclassified to present investment industry classifications in a consistent manner with the current year.
Offering Costs
The Company incurs certain costs in connection with the registration of shares of its common stock. Offering costs principally relate to professional fees, printing costs, direct marketing expenses, due diligence costs, fees paid to regulators and other expenses, including the salaries and/or expenses of the Adviser and its affiliates engaged in registering and marketing the Company’s common stock. Such allocated expenses of the Adviser and its affiliates may include the development of marketing materials and presentations, training and educational meetings, and generally coordinating the marketing process for the Company.
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company and the Adviser have agreed that the Company will not be liable for organization and offering costs, including transfer agent fees, in excess of 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Company’s on-going offering. Offering costs are recorded as a reduction to contributed capital. As of March 31, 2015, offering costs in the amount of $1.0 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, 2014, offering costs in the amount of $1.4 million have been incurred in excess of the 1.5% limit and are the responsibility of the Adviser.
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 premiums 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 / Dividends

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)
The Company holds debt and equity investments in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and dividend provisions. The PIK interest and PIK dividend, which represent contractually deferred interest or dividends that add to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, are generally recorded on the accrual basis.
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.
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 share price in effect on each date of repurchase, which will be determined in the same manner that the Company determined the 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 March 31, 2015, the Company had repurchased a cumulative 1.0 million shares of common stock for payments of $10.6 million. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had repurchased a cumulative 0.6 million shares of common stock for payments of $6.1 million.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03, Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The ASU requires debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 14, 2015. The Company is currently reviewing the requirements and believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, if any, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
• | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
• | Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability. |
• | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques. |
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.
All of the Company’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were comprised of debt and equity instruments for which Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices, were not available. Therefore, at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2015 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 described below.
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 readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, 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. Prior to its termination in June 2014, the value of our TRS was 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, both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure are modeled. 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, broker quotations and/or comparable trade activity is considered as an input to determining fair value when available.
As part of the Company's quarterly valuation process, the Adviser may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company. The board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and the independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable).
Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had one portfolio company, which represented two portfolio investments, on non-accrual status with a total principal amount of $4.2 million, amortized cost of $4.1 million, and no fair value which represented 0.2% and 0.2% of the investment portfolio total principal and amortized cost, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had one portfolio company, which represented two portfolio investments, on non-accrual status with a total principal amount of $4.2 million, amortized cost of $4.1 million, and no fair value which represented 0.2% and 0.2% of the investment portfolio total principal and amortized cost, respectively. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional details regarding the Company’s non-accrual policy.

Note 4 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements
The Sponsor, including its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, the Adviser, owns 0.16 million and 0.16 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Management and Incentive Fee Compensation to the Adviser
The Adviser receives fees for 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 shall be calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The management fee for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately prorated. In addition, any management fees waived by the Adviser are not subject to recoupment at a later date.
34
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)
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 Investment 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 Investment 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. Incentive fees waived by the Adviser are not subject to recoupment at a later date.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the Company incurred $8.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of management fees, of which the Adviser waived $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the Company incurred $5.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of subordinated incentive fees on income, of which the Adviser waived $3.5 million and $0.0 million, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the Company incurred $0.0 million and $(0.02) million of capital gains incentive fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement, respectively, of which the Adviser waived $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively.
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. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the Company incurred $0.7 million and $(0.4) million of theoretical capital gains incentive fees, respectively. The amounts actually paid to the Adviser will be consistent with the Advisers Act and formula reflected in the Investment Advisory Agreement which specifically excludes consideration of unrealized capital appreciation.
As a result of discussions with the SEC staff, the Company determined to no longer include TRS earnings in the computation of subordinated incentive fees, which was effective from January 1, 2014 through the termination of the TRS on June 27, 2014. The Adviser did not receive any additional fees as a result of the termination of the TRS, other than as a result of the increase in the Company’s assets and the fact that, effective June 27, 2014, realized gains and income received on loans formerly underlying the TRS beginning on the date on which the loans came on to the Company’s balance sheet will be included in the incentive fee calculation under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Any gains or income realized as a result of the termination of the TRS, however, will not be considered in the calculation of the incentive fee due to Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
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 any combination of cash or other immediately available funds 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.
Below is a table that provides information regarding expense support payment obligations incurred by the Adviser pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement as well as other information relating to the Company's ability to reimburse the Adviser for such payments.

(3) | "N/A"- Not Applicable |
(4) | Expense Support Payment is no longer eligible for reimbursement as of March 31, 2015. |
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 $0.8 million and $1.7 million as due from affiliate on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2015, the Adviser had assumed on a cumulative basis, $1.0 million of operating expenses pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement and $0.8 million of the cumulative total is no longer eligible for reimbursement. As of December 31, 2014, the Adviser had assumed on a cumulative basis, $1.0 million of operating expenses pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement and $0.7 million of the cumulative total is no longer eligible for reimbursement.

Note 5 — Borrowings
Wells Fargo Credit Facility
On July 24, 2012, the Company, through a wholly-owned, consolidated special purpose financing subsidiary, Funding I, entered into a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility, which was subsequently amended on April 26, 2013, September 9, 2013, and June 30, 2014, provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company.
The Wells Fargo Credit Facility will be priced at the one month maturity London Interbank Offered Rate ("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.

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 most recently amended on May 6, 2014, to increase the aggregate market value of the portfolio of loans selected by 405 Sub. The Company terminated its amended and restated TRS with Citi on June 27, 2014.
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 added 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 enabled 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 was limited to the amount that it contributed to 405 Sub in connection with the TRS. Generally, that amount will be the amount that 405 Sub was required to post as cash collateral for each loan (which in most instances was approximately 25% of the market value of a loan at the time that such loan was purchased). There was no cash collateral on deposit as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 as the TRS was terminated on June 27, 2014. As amended, the TRS provided that 405 Sub could have selected a portfolio of loans with a maximum aggregate market value (determined at the time such loans become subject to the TRS) of $450.0 million.
405 Sub paid interest to Citi for each loan at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.20% per annum. Upon the termination or repayment of any loan selected by 405 Sub under the Agreement, 405 Sub would 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.

On June 27, 2014, the Company terminated the TRS and CB Funding entered into a Merger Agreement with Loan Funding, an affiliate of Citi formed for the purpose of holding the loans underlying the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, CB Funding acquired such loans through the merger of Loan Funding with and into CB Funding (the “Merger”) for approximately $389.0 million. The Company recorded such loans at a cost equal to the respective fair values as of June 27, 2014 and as a result, the $4.0 million of unrealized gain on the TRS at the termination date was realized which resulted in an offsetting unrealized loss and realized gain on the TRS. The $4.0 million gain equates to fair value of the loans underlying the TRS as of June 27, 2014 less the respective costs of such assets as purchased through the TRS.
Previously, the Adviser did not recognize incentive fees based on the returns or capital gains of the TRS and therefore did not receive any additional fees as a direct result of the Merger or termination of the TRS. However, such loans are now included in the Company's portfolio of investments and subject to any fees applicable under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
The Company did not hold the TRS at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
At March 31, 2014, the receivable and realized gain on the total return swap on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and consolidated statements of operations consisted of the following:
Net Receivable | Net Realized Gains | ||||||
Interest and other income from TRS portfolio | $ | 4,117 | $ | 5,467 | |||
TRS interest expense | (801 | ) | (1,029 | ) | |||
Gains on TRS asset sales | 78 | 1,013 | |||||
Net realized gain from TRS | $ | 3,394 | $ | 5,451 |
The Company valued its TRS in accordance with the agreements between 405 Sub and Citi, which collectively established the TRS and are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS was 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 were valued by Citi. Citi based its valuation primarily on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflected the highest price that market participants would have been willing to pay. These valuations were sent to the Company for review and testing. The Company's management reviewed and approved 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 had any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuations were discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS.
The fair value of the TRS was reflected as an unrealized gain or loss on the total return swap on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The change in value of the TRS was reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the total return swap.
For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company as a BDC, the Company had 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.
Further, for purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, the Company had 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.

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 limited 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. The following table reflects certain information regarding the quarterly tender offers that we have conducted to date:

The Company has not established any limit on the extent to which it may use borrowings, if any, or proceeds from its IPO and Follow-on to fund distributions (which may reduce the amount of capital it ultimately invests in assets). There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain distributions at any particular level.
On March 1, 2012, the price for newly-issued shares under the DRIP issued to stockholders was changed from 95% to 90% of the stock price that the shares are sold in the offering as of the date the distribution is made.
Note 13 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders
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 declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and 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 did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes, nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. Although the Company files federal and state tax returns our major tax jurisdiction is federal. The Company's inception-to-date federal tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $0.9 million and a deferred tax liability of $(1.9) million pertaining to the unrealized depreciation (appreciation) on investments and a $1.1 million deferred tax asset pertaining to operating income. Given the losses generated by certain entities, deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances of $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the deferred tax assets generated from unrealized depreciation and operating income, respectively.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a deferred asset of $0.9 million and a deferred liability of $(2.4) million
pertaining to the unrealized depreciation (appreciation) on investments and a $1.1 million deferred asset pertaining to operating
income. Given the losses generated by certain entities, deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances of $0.9
million and $1.0 million for the deferred tax assets generated from unrealized depreciation and operating income, respectively.

Net investment income per share excluding the expense waiver and reimbursement equals $0.15 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. |
(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 three months ended March 31, 2014. |
(5) | For the three months ended March 31, 2015, excluding the expense waiver and reimbursement, the ratio of net investment income, operating expenses, and incentive fees to average net assets is 7.73%, 5.12%, and 0.33%, respectively.

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") and is applying the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services - Investment Companies" ("ASC 946"). 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 indirectly wholly-owned by our sponsor, AR Capital, LLC (the "Sponsor").
54
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. On February 1, 2012, our Adviser contributed an additional $1,300,000 to purchase 140,784 shares of our common stock at $9.234 per share so that the aggregate contribution by our Adviser was $1,500,000. Our Adviser will not tender any amount of its shares for repurchase as long it continues to serve as our investment adviser. On July 1, 2014, our registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-193241) for our follow-on offering (the "Follow-on") was declared effective by the SEC. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the registration statement of the Follow-on, our IPO was terminated. Under the Follow-on, we can offer up to 101,100,000 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2015, we had issued 165.7 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $1.8 billion including the shares purchased by the Sponsor and shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP"). As of March 31, 2015, we had repurchased a cumulative 1.0 million shares of common stock for payments of $10.6 million.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and to a lesser extent long-term capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt issued by middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with annual revenues between $10 million and $1 billion. 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 may 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 meet specified credit and diversity criteria and are subject to concentration limitations in order to create a diverse investment portfolio. We expect that each investment will generally range between approximately 0.5% to 3.0% of our total assets. In most cases, companies to whom we provide customized financing solutions will be privately held.
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. We may use borrowed funds, known as “leverage,” to make investments and to attempt to increase returns to our stockholders by reducing our overall cost of capital. We currently have credit facilities with Wells Fargo, Deutsche Bank and Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”). We previously had entered into a total return swap agreement (“TRS”) through a wholly owned, consolidated subsidiary, 405 TRS I, LLC (“405 Sub”) with Citi but we terminated the TRS with Citi in June 2014. For a detailed discussion of the TRS and our current credit facilities, please refer to “Item 1. Business - Leverage” below.
We have formed and expect to continue to form consolidated subsidiaries (the “Consolidated Holding Companies”). These Consolidated Holding Companies enable us to hold equity securities of portfolio companies organized as pass-through entities while continuing to satisfy the requirements of a RIC under the Code.
While the structure of our investments is likely to vary, we may invest in senior secured debt, senior unsecured debt, subordinated secured debt, subordinated unsecured debt, mezzanine debt, convertible debt, convertible preferred equity, preferred equity, common equity, warrants and other instruments, many of which generate current yields. If our Adviser deems appropriate, we may invest in more liquid senior secured and second lien debt securities, some of which may be traded over the counter. We will make such investments to the extent allowed by the 1940 Act and consistent with our continued qualification as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. For a discussion of the risks inherent in our portfolio investments, please see the discussion under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors”.
As of March 31, 2015, our investment portfolio totaled $2.0 billion and consisted of $1.0 billion of senior secured first lien debt, $272.8 million of senior secured second lien debt, $77.3 million of subordinated debt, $410.0 million of collateralized securities and $204.4 million of equity and other investments. Our overall portfolio consisted of 116 portfolio companies with an average investment size of $15.1 million, a weighted average current yield on debt investments of 10.0% exclusive of any loan discounts, and was invested 51.5% in senior secured first lien debt, 13.7% in senior secured second lien debt, 3.9% in subordinated debt, 20.6% in collateralized securities and 10.3% in equity and other investments.
55
As of December 31, 2014, our investment portfolio totaled $1.9 billion and consisted of $997.7 million of senior secured first lien debt, $268.4 million of senior secured second lien debt, $60.9 million of subordinated debt, $364.9 million of collateralized securities and $225.1 million of equity and other investments. Our overall portfolio consisted of 110 portfolio companies with an average investment size of $15.2 million, a weighted average current yield on debt investments of 10.4% exclusive of any loan discounts, and was invested 52.0% in senior secured first lien debt, 14.0% in senior secured second lien debt, 3.2% in subordinated debt, 19.1% in collateralized securities and 11.7% in equity and other investments.
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.
Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement we have with the Adviser, 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, referred 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.
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. Realized gains received from loans underlying the total return swap we have with Citi will not be included for purposes of evaluating the incentive fee on capital gains.
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 and compliance support, necessary to operate. On August 13, 2012, we entered into a custody agreement with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”). Under the custody agreement, U.S. 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. Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, serves as the dealer manager of the IPO. The Adviser and the Dealer Manager are related parties and receive compensation and fees for services related to the IPO and for the investment and management of our assets. The Adviser receives fees during the offering and operational stages while the Dealer Manager receives fees during the offering stage.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of our significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. A full disclosure of our significant accounting polices is disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.
Portfolio and Investment Activity
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we made $278.3 million of investments in portfolio companies and had $206.6 million in aggregate amount of exits and repayments, resulting in net investments of $71.7 million for the period.
Our portfolio composition, based on fair value at March 31, 2015 was as follows:

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 ratings of our investments based on amortized cost were 2.08 and 2.07 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, we had one portfolio company, which represented two portfolio investments, on non-accrual status. These investments had a total principal of $4.2 million, which represented 0.2% of our portfolio and had no fair value as of March 31, 2015. We are currently evaluating potential value recovery alternatives for these investments. As of December 31, 2014, we had one portfolio company, which represented two portfolio investments, on non-accrual status. These investments had a total principal of $4.2 million, which represented 0.2% of our portfolio and had no fair value as of December 31, 2014.

The increase in total investment income was due to the higher level of investments in portfolio companies during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the average portfolio fair value was $2.0 billion with a 10.0% weighted average current yield while the average portfolio fair value and weighted average current yield were $822.7 million and 10.5%, respectively for the same period in 2014.

The interest expense on the balance drawn on the Citi Credit Facility was based on an average daily debt outstanding of $270.6 million at a weighted average annualized cost of 1.87% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred $8.2 million of management fees, of which the Adviser did not waive any such fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred $5.2 million of incentive fees, of which the Adviser waived $3.5 million.
Interest and credit facility expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were comprised of amortization of deferred financing costs and non-usage fees related to the Wells Fargo Credit Facility and the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility along with $0.9 million of interest expense on the balance drawn on the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The interest expense on the balance drawn on the Wells Fargo Credit Facility was based on an average debt outstanding of $152.1 million at a weighted average annualized cost of 2.42% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

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 Payments for any month shall be paid to us by the Adviser in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds, and/or offsets against amounts due from us to the Adviser. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, no Expense Support Payments were made by our Adviser.

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments and total return swap | $ | (2,426 | ) | $ | 5,454 |
Net realized gain and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments resulted in a net loss of $(2.8) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to a net loss of $(0.1) million for the same period in 2014. We look at net realized gains and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) together as movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily driven by the unrealized depreciation of $(4.4) million on a portfolio company investment that was not meeting performance expectations and was partially offset by net unrealized appreciation across the remainder of the portfolio. In total, $206.6 million of assets were sold or repaid during the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily driven by the unrealized depreciation of $(2.1) million on the two portfolio investments in non-accrual status and was partially offset by the net short-term gain of $1.0 million on the sale of one investment along with smaller scale net realized gains and unrealized appreciation across the portfolio. Total asset sold or repaid for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $153.5 million.
In addition to the net loss from net realized gain and change in unrealized appreciation on investments during the three months ended March 31, 2015, there was a loss of $(0.2) million and a gain of $0.5 million pertaining to non-controlling interests and deferred income taxes on control investments, respectively.
Net Realized Gain and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on Total Return Swap
The TRS was terminated on June 27, 2014 and as a result, we did not hold the TRS during the three months ended March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net realized gain and change in unrealized appreciation on the total return swap resulted in a net gain of $5.5 million. We look at net realized gains and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) together as movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations.
The net gain for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was driven by interest income of $5.5 million earned on the loans held under the TRS which had an average total notional value of $299.4 million for the three month period. In addition, we had $(1.0) million of interest expense on the TRS and $1.0 million in realized gains on TRS asset sales. Please see Note 6 - Total Return Swap - for more information about the TRS.

The Company did not hold the TRS at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
At March 31, 2014, the receivable and realized gain on the total return swap on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and condensed consolidated statements of operations consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):
Net Receivable | Net Realized Gains | ||||||
Interest and other income from TRS portfolio | $ | 4,117 | $ | 5,467 | |||

Net receivable/realized gain from TRS | $ | 3,394 | $ | 5,451 |
Changes in Net Assets from Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $31.1 million versus a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The difference is attributable to an increase in net investment income as compared to the prior period due to an increased level of investments . Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.19 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, versus $0.22 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash used in operating activities was $16.3 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 three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to $278.3 million for purchases of investments partially offset by cash provided by operating activities of $206.6 million for sales and repayments of investments, $11.8 million from a decrease in unsettled trades payable, and $31.1 million from a net increase in net assets from operations. 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 $37.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily related to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $68.8 million. These inflows were partially offset by principal repayments on debt of $10.0 million and payments of stockholder distributions of $17.3 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 Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $266.1 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 three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to $406.3 million for purchases of investments and $20.2 million from an decrease in unsettled trades receivable partially offset by cash provided by operating activities of $153.5 million for sales and repayments of investments, $46.6 million from an decrease in unsettled trades payable, and $17.4 million from a net increase in net assets from operations. 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 $309.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily related to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $296.2 million and proceeds from the Wells Fargo Credit Facility of $22.0 million. These inflows were partially offset by payments of stockholder distributions of $8.0 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.

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 $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. On July 1, 2014, our registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-193241) for our Follow-on was declared effective by the SEC. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the Follow-on, our IPO terminated. Under the Follow-on, we can offer up to 101,100,000 shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2015, we had issued 165.7 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1.8 billion 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, 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 and Follow-on, 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 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 March 31, 2015, the Adviser had made cumulative payments to the Company for $1.0 million of expenses pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement and $0.8 million of the cumulative total is no longer eligible for reimbursement. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Adviser made no payments to the Company for expenses pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement. See Note 4 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - Expense Support Agreement - in our condensed 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.
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. |
71
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 limited 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.
Total Return Swap
On July 13, 2012, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, 405 Sub, entered into a TRS with Citi. On June 27, 2014, we terminated the amended and restated TRS with Citi.
A total return swap is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the total return swap, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. The TRS effectively added 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 enabled 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 were non-recourse to us and our exposure to the TRS was limited to the amount that we contributed to 405 Sub in connection with the TRS. Generally, that amount was the amount that 405 Sub was 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 provided that 405 Sub could have selected a portfolio of loans with a maximum aggregate market value (determined at the time such loans become subject to the TRS) of $450.0 million.
405 Sub paid 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 would 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.
On June 27, 2014, we terminated the TRS and CB Funding entered into a Merger Agreement with Loan Funding, an affiliate of Citi formed for the purpose of holding the loans underlying the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, CB Funding acquired such loans through the merger of Loan Funding with and into CB Funding (the “Merger”) for approximately $389.0 million. We recorded such loans at a cost equal to the respective fair values as of June 27, 2014 and as a result, the $4.0 million of unrealized gain on the TRS at the termination date was realized which resulted in an offsetting unrealized loss and realized gain on the TRS. The $4.0 million gain equates to fair value of the loans underlying the TRS as of June 27, 2014 less the respective costs of such assets as purchased through the TRS.
Previously, the Adviser has not recognized incentive fees based on the returns or capital gains of the TRS and therefore will not receive any additional fees as a direct result of the Merger or termination of the TRS. However, such loans are now included in our portfolio of investments and subject to any fees applicable under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
See Note 6 – Total Return Swap – in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional disclosure on the TRS with Citi.
Wells Fargo Credit Facility
On July 24, 2012, we, through a newly-formed, wholly-owned special purpose financing subsidiary, Funding I, entered into a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank, as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility, which was subsequently amended on April 26, 2013, September 9, 2013, and June 30, 2014, provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million on a committed basis, with a term of 60 months.
72
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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo Credit Facility are non-recourse to us.
The Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable in April 2018.
Borrowings under the Wells Fargo 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 December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with regards to the Wells Fargo Credit Facility covenants. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part, subject to customary breakage costs. In the event that the Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo Credit Facility.
The Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo Credit Facility, including, but not limited to, non-performance of Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo Credit Facility.
In connection with the Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 March 31, 2015, we had $278.1 million outstanding under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility.
See Note 5 – Borrowings – in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional disclosure on the Credit Facility with Wells Fargo.
Deutsche Bank Credit Facility
On February 21, 2014, we, through 2L Funding I, entered into the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility with Deutsche Bank as lender and as administrative agent and U.S. Bank as collateral agent and collateral custodian.
The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million with a term of 36 months. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility will be priced at LIBOR plus 4.25%, with no LIBOR floor. The undrawn rate is 0.75%. 2L Funding Sub I will be subject to a minimum utilization of 50% of the loan amount in the first 12-months and 65% of the loan amount thereafter, measured quarterly. If the utilized portion of the loan amount is less than the foregoing thresholds, such shortfalls shall bear interest at LIBOR plus 4.25%. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility provides for monthly interest payments for each drawn loan. Any amounts borrowed under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, in January 2017. 2L Funding I paid a structuring fee and incurred certain other customary costs and expenses in connection with obtaining the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility.
73
Borrowings under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment fee. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility contains customary default provisions including, but not limited to, non-payment of principal, interest or other obligations under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, insolvency, defaults of certain financial covenants and other events with respect to us that may be adverse to Deutsche Bank and the secured parties under the facility.
In connection with the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, 2L Funding I has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, subject, in certain instances, to applicable cure periods, Deutsche Bank may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of default, 2L Funding I must pay interest at a default rate.
Borrowings of 2L Funding I will be considered our borrowings for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to business development companies.
The obligations of 2L Funding I under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility are non-recourse to us.
As of March 31, 2015, we had $60.0 million outstanding under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility.
See Note 5 – Borrowings – in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional disclosure on the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility.
Citi Credit Facility
On June 27, 2014, we, through a wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, BDCA-CB Funding, LLC, entered into the Citi Credit Facility as administrative agent and U.S. Bank as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian. The Citi Credit Facility provides for borrowings over a twenty four month period in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million on a committed basis, subject to the administrative agent’s right to approve the assets acquired by CB Funding and pledged as collateral under the Citi Credit Facility.
The Citi Credit Facility will be priced at LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread of 1.70% per annum for the first twenty four months and 2.00% per annum thereafter. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. CB Funding will be subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Citi Credit Facility has not been borrowed. Any amounts borrowed under the Citi Credit Facility along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will mature, and will be due and payable, in three years. CB Funding paid a structuring fee and incurred certain other customary costs and expenses in connection with obtaining the Citi Credit Facility.
In connection with the Citi Credit Facility, on June 27, 2014, CB Funding entered into a Merger Agreement with Loan Funding, an affiliate of Citi formed for the purpose of holding loans underlying a TRS with CB Funding. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, CB Funding acquired such loans through the merger of Loan Funding with and into CB Funding. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CB Funding paid approximately $389.0 million for the assets held by Loan Funding.
Borrowings of CB Funding will be considered our borrowings for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to business development companies.
As of March 31, 2015, we had $270.6 million outstanding under the Citi Credit Facility.
The obligations of the BDCA - CB Funding, LLC under the Citi Credit Facility are non-recourse us.
See Note 5 – Borrowings – in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional disclosure on the Citi Credit Facility.

Distributions
We have declared and paid cash distributions to our stockholders on a monthly basis since we commenced operations. As of March 31, 2015, the annualized yield for distributions declared was 7.75% based on our then current public offering price of $11.20 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.
The table below shows the components of the distributions we have declared and/or paid during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, we had $12.2 million of distributions accrued and unpaid.
For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||
2015 | 2014 | ||||||
Distributions declared | $ | 34,663 | $ | 16,880 | |||

Portion of distributions paid in cash | $ | 17,319 | $ | 7,973 | |||
Portion of distributions paid in DRIP shares | $ | 16,767 | $ | 6,790 |
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. The DRIP purchase price based on the current offering price of $11.20 per share is $10.08.
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.
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, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets. 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. 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. No Expense Support Payments were made by our Adviser during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or the three months ended March 31, 2014.

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 maintain our qualification 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 maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gain over realized net long-term capital loss, or the annual distribution requirement. Even if we qualify as a RIC, we generally will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income and could be subject to U.S federal excise, state, local and foreign taxes. We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible U.S. Federal excise tax on certain undistributed income of RICs unless we distribute in a timely manner an amount at least equal to 98% of net ordinary income each calendar year and 98.2% of capital gain net income for the one year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which we paid no federal income taxes.
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, sales and maintenance of common stock under our offering, transfer agency services and reimbursement of operating costs and offering related costs. See Note 4 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
The Adviser’s senior management team is comprised of substantially the same personnel as the senior management team of BDCA Adviser II, LLC, the investment adviser to Business Development Corporation of America II, the Sponsor’s other affiliated BDC. Personnel of BDCA Adviser II, LLC and the Adviser may provide investment advice for clients other than us and Business Development Corporation of America II, respectively, any, or all, and may continue to do so in the future. To the extent that the Adviser undertakes to provide investment advisory services to other clients, it intends to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with our investment objectives and strategies, if necessary, so that we will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of the Adviser or its management team. In addition, even in the absence of the Adviser retaining additional clients, it is possible that some investment opportunities may be provided to other clients rather than to us.
76
Exemptive Relief
In an application for exemptive relief from the provisions of Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act as filed with the SEC on October 2, 2014, we requested relief, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with Business Development Corporation of America II, and any future BDCs that are advised by the Adviser or its affiliated investment advisers, or, collectively, our co-investment affiliates. We believe this relief may not only enhance our ability to further our investment objectives and strategies, but may also increase favorable investment opportunities for us, in part by allowing us to participate in larger investments, together with our co-investment affiliates, than would be available to us in the absence of such relief.
On May 11, 2015, the SEC issued a “notice” regarding its intent to issue an order permitting the Company, Business Development Corporation of America II and BDCA Venture, Inc. (collectively, the “Companies”) to co-invest together in portfolio companies subject to certain conditions included therein (the “Notice”). As stated in the Notice, an order granting the requested relief will be issued unless the SEC orders a hearing. Hearing requests can be submitted by members of the public until June 8, 2015. If no requests for hearing are submitted to the SEC, the Companies expect the SEC’s exemptive order to be issued on or around June 9, 2015.

(1) | As of March 31, 2015, we had $21.9 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, subject to borrowing base limits. |
(2) | As of March 31, 2015, we had $0.0 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, subject to borrowing base limits. |
(3) | As of March 31, 2015, we had $129.4 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Citi Credit Facility, subject to borrowing base limits. |
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. We previously had the TRS as discussed in Note 6 – Total Return Swap – but it was terminated on June 27, 2014.
Commitments
In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into future funding commitments. As of March 31, 2015, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $58.6 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $3.5 million and unfunded equity commitments of $12.4 million. As of December 31, 2014, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $77.9 million and unfunded equity commitments of $17.7 million. The unfunded commitments are disclosed in our condensed consolidated schedule of investments. We maintain sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments.
77
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Adjusted Net Investment Income
We believe that adjusted net investment income provides management and stockholders with a meaningful indicator of performance based on current and short-term income items. In the calculation, we adjust net investment income per U.S. GAAP by the following: (1) net investment income on the TRS investment portfolio, (2) short-term gains and losses, (3) the theoretical capital gains incentive fee, and (4) transfer agent fees. Each adjustment is explained in further detail below.
We adjust net investment income for the interest income and expense on the TRS investment portfolio as we believe this adjustment provides a more accurate measure of performance as our Adviser selected and underwrote all of the investments underlying the TRS. Under U.S. GAAP, interest income and expense related to the TRS are accounted for as a component of “Net realized gain from total return swap” on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and do not flow through net investment income. On June 27, 2014, the Company terminated the TRS with Citi and acquired the loans underlying the TRS through a wholly-owned subsidiary. Therefore, this adjustment is only needed for the period through June 27, 2014.
We also adjust net investment income to include net short-term gains and losses as these are the result of active portfolio management by our Adviser and represent ordinary income to our stockholders.
We adjust net investment income for the theoretical capital gains incentive fee accrual required under U.S. GAAP as it is not contractually due to our Adviser and will not be paid in cash. This accrual is based upon unrealized capital appreciation on investments held at the end of each period and assumes all unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation is realized in order to reflect a capital gains incentive fee that would theoretically be payable to our Adviser. The amounts actually paid to our Adviser are consistent with the Advisers Act and formula reflected in the Investment Advisory Agreement, which specifically excludes consideration of unrealized capital appreciation.
We adjust net investment income for transfer agent fees expensed on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is liable for organization and offering costs in excess of 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds from our on-going offering, including transfer agent fees. As the transfer agent fees are already subject to payment by the Adviser under the 1.5% cap, such expense is adjusted from net investment income where applicable.
Adjusted net investment income is unaudited and not equivalent to and should not be considered an alternative to net investment income (loss) or net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations as determined under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net investment income should not be construed as a historical performance measure or as more relevant or accurate than the current U.S. GAAP methodology in calculating net investment income. In addition, adjusted net investment income should not be considered more applicable than current U.S. GAAP methodology in evaluating our operating performance. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net investment income to adjusted net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (dollars in thousands):
For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||
2015 | 2014 | ||||||
Net investment income | $ | 33,549 | $ | 11,946 | |||
TRS net investment income (1) | — | 4,437 | |||||
Operating gains (short-term) (2) | 93 | 4,217 | |||||
Incentive fees on unrealized gains (3) | 675 | (431 | ) | ||||
Transfer agent fees (4) | 346 | — | |||||
Adjusted net investment income | $ | 34,663 | $ | 20,169 |
______________
(1) | TRS net investment income includes the interest income and expense related to the TRS portfolio. See Note 6 - Total Return Swap - for more information about the TRS. |
(2) | 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. |
78
(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 - for additional details on the theoretical capital gains incentive fees. |
(4) | Transfer agent fees only include the transfer agent fees which are treated as expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. These expenses are not tax deductible. |
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 March 31, 2015, our debt included variable-rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.19% at March 31, 2015 with a carrying value of $608.7 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.
Change in Interest Rates | Estimated Percentage Change in Interest Income net of Interest Expense | ||
(-) 25 Basis Points | 0.89 | % | |
Base Interest Rate | — | % | |
(+) 100 Basis Points | (1.96 | )% | |
(+) 200 Basis Points | 0.98 | % |
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 the design and operation 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. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were (a) designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and reported in an accurate manner and on a timely basis and the information that we are required to disclose in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management to permit timely decisions with respect to required disclosure and (b) operating in an effective manner.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
79
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 March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As of March 31, 2015, neither we nor our Adviser are defendants in any material pending legal proceeding, and no such material proceedings are known to be contemplated. However, from time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under the contracts with our portfolio companies. Third parties may also seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies.
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, 2014, 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. 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, 2014.
