NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

For the period ended March 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation

Business Development Corporation of America (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company incorporated in Maryland in May 2010 that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“the 1940 Act”). In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s investment activities are managed by BDCA Adviser, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. (“BSP”) and supervised by the Company’s board of directors, a majority of whom are independent of the Adviser and its affiliates. As a BDC, the Company is required to comply with certain regulatory requirements.

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. 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” or "CLOs"). Structurally, CLOs 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. In most cases, companies to whom we provide customized financing solutions will be privately held at the time the Company invests in them.

While the structure of the Company’s 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, CLOs and other instruments, many of which generate current yields. If the Adviser deems appropriate, the Company may invest in more liquid senior secured and second lien debt securities, some of which may be traded. The Company will make such investments to the extent allowed by the 1940 Act and consistent with its continued qualification as a RIC for federal income tax purposes.

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, and subsequently amended the offering to issue up to an additional 101.1 million shares of its common stock (the “Offering”). The Company closed the Offering to new investments on April 30, 2015. In order to allow for associated processing time needed, the transfer agent for the Company accepted subscriptions in good order dated on or before April 30, 2015 and received no later than June 30, 2015. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had issued 191.4 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $2.1 billion including the shares purchased by affiliates and shares issued under the Company's distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). As of March 31, 2017, the Company had repurchased a cumulative 12.6 million shares of common stock through its share repurchase program for payments of $114.3 million.

The Company intends to co-invest, subject to the conditions included in the exemptive order the Company received from the SEC, with certain of our affiliates. The Company believes that such co-investments may afford it additional investment opportunities and an ability to achieve greater diversification.

As a BDC, the Company is generally required to invest at least 70% of our total assets primarily in securities of private and certain U.S. public companies (other than certain financial institutions), cash, cash equivalents and U.S. government securities and other high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

The Company is permitted to borrow money from time to time within the levels permitted by the 1940 Act (which generally allows it to incur leverage for up to one half of its assets). The Company has used, and expects to continue to use, its credit facilities and other borrowings, along with proceeds from the rotation of its portfolio and proceeds from private securities offerings to finance its investment objectives.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

The Company consolidates the following subsidiaries for accounting purposes: BDCA Funding I, LLC (“Funding I”), BDCA 2L Funding I, LLC (“2L Funding I”), BDCA-CB Funding, LLC (“CB Funding”), BDCA Helvetica Funding, Ltd. (“Helvetica Funding”), 54th Street Equity Holdings, Inc. 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 consolidated 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, 2017.

Use of Estimates

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

Consolidation

As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946 - Financial Services - Investment Companies, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially wholly-owned investment company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the accounts of the Company's substantially wholly-owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

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

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

For the period ended March 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

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

For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 946, as of the Company's measurement date.

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).

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

•	Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Adviser, potentially with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by our board of directors;

•	The independent valuation firm(s), if involved, will conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and

•	The board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser, independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of the board of directors.

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

Investment Classification

The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “control” is defined as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. In addition, any person “who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% 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 consolidated financial statements may have been reclassified to disclose the Company's Control Investments and Affiliate Investments as defined above. In addition, prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to present investment industry classifications in a consistent manner with the current year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments in a money market deposit account. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

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. Should the Company resume continually offering its shares, any offering costs incurred will be capitalized and amortized as an expense on a straight-line basis over a 12 month period. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, offering costs have not been incurred in excess of the 1.5% limit.

Deferred Financing Costs

Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s Unsecured Notes and revolving credit facilities with Wells Fargo, Citi, and UBS are capitalized and amortized into expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield method over the life of the respective facility. See Note 5 - Borrowings - for details on the Credit Facilities and Unsecured Notes.

Distributions

The Company’s board of directors has authorized, and the Company has declared cash distributions payable on a monthly basis to stockholders of record on each day since it commenced operations. Since November 2013, the distribution rate has been $0.002378082 per day, which is equivalent to $0.868 per annum, per share of common stock, except for 2016 where the daily distribution rate was $0.002371585 per day to accurately reflect 2016 being a leap year.

The amount of each such distribution will be subject to the discretion of the board of directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company will calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount

for the month using record and declaration dates and accrue distributions on the date the Company accepts a subscription for shares of the Company’s common stock. The distributions are payable by the fifth day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions, including capital gains distributions, at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s distributions may exceed earnings, especially during the period before it has substantially invested the proceeds from the offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions made by the Company may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is a return of each stockholder’s investment rather than earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities.

    

The Company may fund cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including expense payments from the Adviser that are subject to reimbursement, as well as offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. See Note 12 - Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders for additional information.

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.

Fee Income

Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned, either upfront or amortized into income. Upon the payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees are recorded as income.

Payment-in-Kind Interest/Dividends

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. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it distributes to stockholders at least 90% of ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each year. Distributions 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 may be subject to federal excise taxes of 4%. See Note 12 - Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders for additional information.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-19, Technical Corrections and Improvements. As part of this guidance, ASU 2016-19 amends FASB ASC 820 to clarify the difference between a valuation approach and a valuation technique. The amendment also requires an entity to disclose when there has been a change in either or both a valuation approach and/or a valuation technique. ASU 2016-19 is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016 on a prospective basis. The Company has evaluated the impact of ASU 2016-19 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures and determined that the adoption of ASU 2016-19 has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, which will amend FASB ASC 230. The amendments in this Update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that have restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-18 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended rules (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)”, which seeks to reduce diversity in how certain cash payments are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. Under ASU 2016-15, an entity will need to conform to the presentation as prescribed for eight specific cash flow issues. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2017. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which amends the criteria for revenue recognition where an entity enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or where there is a transfer of non-financial assets. Under ASU 2016-10, an entity should recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the

consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2016-10 will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2018. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-10 will have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 retains many current requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments; however, it significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. ASU 2016-01 also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted for public business entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard has on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

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 consolidated 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, 2017 was comprised of debt and equity instruments for which Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices, were not available. Therefore, at March 31, 2017, 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, 2017 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 consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at

fair value. On a quarterly basis the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as 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, as of the Company's measurement date.

For investments in Collateralized Securities, the Adviser models both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure. The model uses a waterfall engine to store the collateral data, generate collateral cash flows from the assets, and distribute the cash flows to the liability structure based on priority of payments. The waterfall cash flows are discounted using rates that incorporate risk factors such as default risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk, among others. In addition, the Adviser considers 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 consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on the consolidated financial statements.

    

For discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company's borrowings, refer to Note 5 - Borrowings - in the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

investment adviser to the Company following the closing of the Transaction.

Investment Advisory Agreement

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and for the investment advisory and management services provided thereunder, the Company pays the Adviser a base management fee and an incentive fee.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of the Company’s average gross assets. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. Average gross assets is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter shall be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Adviser will determine. The base management fee for any partial month or quarter is appropriately pro-rated.

Incentive Fees

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is referred to as the incentive fee on income and it is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter. ). “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, other than fees for providing managerial assistance, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The payment of the incentive fee on income shall be subject to payment of a preferred return to investors each quarter, expressed as a quarterly rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 1.75% (7.00% annualized), subject to a “catch up” feature (as described below). The calculation of the incentive fee on income for each quarter is as follows:

•	No incentive fee on income shall be payable to the Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the preferred return rate of 1.75% or 7.00% annualized (the “Preferred Return”) on net assets;

•

100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the preferred return but is less than or equal to 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) shall be payable to the Adviser. This portion of the Company’s incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) in any calendar quarter; and

•	For any quarter in which our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.1875% (8.75% annualized), the incentive fee on income shall equal 20% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Preferred Return and catch-up will have been achieved.

The second part of the incentive fee, referred to as the “incentive fee on capital gains during operations,” shall be an incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the portfolio during operations prior to the Company’s liquidation and shall be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, if earlier). This fee shall equal 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which shall equal 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.

Administration Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Company terminated the previous administration agreement and entered into a new administration agreement with BSP on November 1, 2016. In connection with the New Administration Agreement, BSP will provide the Company with office facilities and administrative services.

Co-Investment Relief

The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from making certain negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC permitting the BDC to do so. Unless otherwise provided in the allocation policy, if an investment opportunity is appropriate for both the Company and other investment funds and the investment opportunity requires more than the price to be negotiated, the investment opportunity will be made available to the other investment fund or the Company on an alternating basis based on the date of closing of each such investment opportunity and each fund’s available capital. As a result, the Adviser and/or its affiliates may face conflicts in allocating investment opportunities between the Company and such other entities. Although the Adviser and its affiliates will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner and consistent with applicable allocation procedures, it is possible that, in the future, the Company may not be given the opportunity to participate in investments made by investment funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

The SEC staff has granted the Company relief sought in an exemptive application that expands its ability to co-invest in portfolio companies with other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates (“Affiliated Funds”) in a manner consistent with its investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”). Pursuant to the Order, the Company is permitted to co-invest with its affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) or its independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching by the Company or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and is consistent with the Company’s investment objective and strategies.

Transactions with Affiliates

    

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, an affiliate of BSP purchased $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock based on its net asset value per share in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. On November 7, 2016, the Company issued approximately 1.2 million shares of its common stock to such BSP affiliate.

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.

Due (to)/from affiliate

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no amounts due (to)/from a previous affiliate.

Other Affiliated Parties

BDCA Adviser, LLC (“BDCA Adviser”) is the investment adviser of BDCA. BDCA Adviser is an affiliate of BSP, an SEC registered investment adviser. BDCA Adviser and BSP are under common control. BDCA Adviser is affiliated and under common control with Providence Equity Capital Markets L.L.C. (“PECM”), an SEC registered investment adviser on the BSP platform.

The Wells Fargo Credit Facility, which was subsequently amended on April 26, 2013, September 9, 2013, June 30, 2014, May 29, 2015, and November 4, 2015, provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400.0 million on a committed basis.

The Wells Fargo Credit Facility is 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. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Funding I is 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%.

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. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part, subject to customary breakage costs.

The Wells Fargo Credit Facility contains customary default provisions for facilities of this type pursuant to which Wells Fargo may terminate the rights, obligations, power and authority of the Company, in its capacity as servicer of the portfolio assets under the 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 the Company 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.

Deutsche Bank Credit Facility

On February 21, 2014, the Company, through a wholly-owned, consolidated special purpose financing subsidiary, BDCA 2L Funding I, LLC (“2L Funding I”), entered into the credit facility with Deutsche Bank (the “Deutsche Bank Credit Facility”) as lender and as administrative agent and U.S. Bank as collateral agent and collateral custodian. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility was amended on February 19, 2016 and it was terminated in accordance with its terms on June 3, 2016.

The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility provided for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million with a term of 36 months. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility was priced at LIBOR plus 4.25%, with no LIBOR floor. Prior to its termination, the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility was subject to a minimum utilization of 82.5% of the loan amount thereafter, measured quarterly. If the utilized portion of the loan amount was less than the foregoing thresholds, such shortfalls bore interest at LIBOR plus 4.25%. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility provided for monthly interest payments for each drawn loan. 2L Funding I paid a structuring fee and incurred certain other customary costs and expenses in connection with obtaining the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility.

On April 7, 2015, the Company, through a wholly-owned, special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, Helvetica Funding, entered into a debt financing facility with UBS AG, London Branch (“UBS”), pursuant to which $150.0 million will be made available to the Company to fund investments in new securities and for other general corporate purposes (the “UBS Credit Facility”).

Unsecured Notes

On August 26, 2015, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with the initial purchasers, relating to the Company’s sale of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% fixed rate senior notes due 2020 to the initial purchasers in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and for initial resale by the initial purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (the “Unsecured Notes”). The Company relied upon these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the initial purchasers. The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the initial purchasers against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The Unsecured Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The net proceeds from the sale of the Unsecured Notes was approximately $97.9 million, after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions of approximately $1.6 million payable by the Company and estimated offering expenses of approximately $0.5 million payable by the Company. The Company used the net proceeds to make investments in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives and for general corporate purposes. 

    

The Unsecured Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of August 31, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee. The Unsecured Notes will mature on September 1, 2020, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time, or from time to time, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. The Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per year payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2016. The Unsecured Notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Unsecured Notes. The Unsecured Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities, including credit facilities held by the Company’s wholly owned, special purpose financing subsidiaries.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into future funding commitments. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $39.1 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $27.7 million and unfunded equity capital commitments of $9.4 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $35.7 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $24.7 million and unfunded equity capital commitments of $9.4 million. The unfunded commitments are disclosed in the Company's consolidated schedule of investments. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation, claims and regulatory matters. The Company has no knowledge of material legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company at this time.

 

Indemnifications

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

Guarantees

The Company has provided a guarantee to its controlled portfolio company, Park Ave RE Holdings, LLC, in connection with a secured loan whereby the Company will be responsible for certain liabilities of the portfolio company upon the occurrence of certain events (such as a bankruptcy or the incurrence of additional indebtedness in violation of the terms of the loan).

Note 7 — Economic Dependency

 

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

  

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

Note 8 — Common Stock

On August 25, 2011, the Company had raised sufficient funds to break escrow on its IPO. On July 1, 2014, the Company's registration statement on Form N-2 (File No.333-193241) for its 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. Through March 31, 2017, the Company sold 191.4 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $2.1 billion, including shares purchased by an affiliate of BSP and shares issued under the DRIP. Following the time the Company's updated registration statement was declared effective on June 30, 2015, the Company issued shares for subscription agreements that had been accepted through that date. The Company is no longer issuing new shares except for DRIP shares. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had repurchased 12.6 million shares of common stock through its share repurchase program for payments of $114.3 million.

Note 9 — Share Repurchase Program

The Company intends to conduct semi-annual tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program (“SRP”). 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 effect of such repurchases on the Company's qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of

any necessary asset sales);

    

On March 8, 2016, the Company's board of directors amended the Company's SRP. The Company will conduct tender offers on a semi-annual basis, instead of on a quarterly basis as was done previously. The Company will continue to 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 5.0% at each semi-annual tender offer. In addition, in the event of a stockholder’s death or disability, any repurchases of shares made in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability may be included within the overall limitation imposed on tender offers during the relevant redemption period, which provides that the Company may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock the Company is able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period. The Company's two most recent tender offers were oversubscribed.

Share amounts in the table above represent amounts filed in the tender offer.

Through March 31, 2017, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 12.6 million shares of common stock for payments of $114.3 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had repurchased 12.5 million shares of common stock for payments of $113.4 million. Amounts include additional shares tendered for death and disability as permitted.

Note 10 — Net Increase in Net Assets

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. The Company had no potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase in net assets per share from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,				For the Three Months Ended March 31,

Note 11 — Distributions

The Company’s board of directors has authorized, and the Company has declared cash distributions payable on a monthly basis to stockholders of record on each day since it commenced operations. Since November 2013, the distribution rate has been $0.002378082 per day, which is equivalent to $0.868 per annum, per share of common stock, except for 2016 where the daily distribution rate was $0.002371585 per day to accurately reflect 2016 being a leap year.

The amount of each such distribution will be subject to the discretion of the board of directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company will calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using record and declaration dates and accrue distributions on the date the Company accepts a subscription for shares of the Company’s common stock. The distributions are payable by the fifth day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month.

From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions at the discretion of its board of directors. The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to it, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets. The Company’s distributions may exceed its earnings, especially during the period before the Company has substantially invested the proceeds from its IPO and Follow-on. As a result, a portion of the distributions the Company will make may represent a return of capital for tax purposes. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had accrued $13.3 million in stockholder distributions that were unpaid. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had accrued $13.5 million in stockholder distributions that were unpaid.

For the period ended March 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

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.

Note 12 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders

The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it meets, certain quarterly asset diversification requirements, annual income tests, and distributes to stockholders its ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each taxable year. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to one year after the previous 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 may also be subject to federal excise taxes of 4%.

A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its “investment company taxable income” (which is, generally, ordinary income plus net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses). If the Company's expenses in a given taxable year exceed gross taxable income (e.g., as the result of large amounts of equity-based compensation), it would incur a net operating loss for that year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent taxable years and such net operating losses do not pass through to the RIC’s stockholders. In addition, deductible expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. A RIC may not use any net capital losses (that is, realized capital losses in excess of realized capital gains) to offset the RIC’s investment company taxable income, but may carry forward such net capital losses, and use them to offset capital gains indefinitely. Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses and net capital losses, the Company may for tax purposes have aggregate taxable income for several taxable years that it is required to distribute and that is taxable to stockholders even if such taxable income is greater than the aggregate net income the Company actually earned during those taxable years. Such required distributions may be made from the Company cash assets or by liquidation of investments, if necessary. The Company may realize gains or losses from such liquidations. In the event the Company realizes net capital gains from such transactions, the Company may receive a larger capital gain distribution than it would have received in the absence of such transactions.

The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”), nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company's 2015, 2014 and 2013 federal tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $2.5 million and a deferred tax liability of $(2.9) million. Given the losses generated by certain entities, deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances of $2.5 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $2.3 million and a deferred tax liability of $(2.6) million. Given the losses generated by certain entities, deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances of $2.2 million. 

The deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been determined pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, including the Company's estimation of future taxable income, if necessary, and is adequate to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

(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 mainly from the Company's dividend reinvestment program.

(4)	Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of shares of common stock at the current net asset value on the first day and a sale at the current net asset value on the last day of the periods reported. Distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the DRIP.

(5)	Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of year-to-date purchases or sales over the average of the invested assets at fair value. Not annualized.

(6)	Ratios are annualized, except for incentive fees.

(7)	Offering costs are not included as an expense in the calculation of this ratio.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Business Development Corporation of America and the notes thereto, and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are externally managed by our adviser, BDCA Adviser, LLC (the “Adviser”).

Overview

We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company incorporated in Maryland in May 2010 that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“the 1940 Act”). In addition, we have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Our investment activities are managed by BDCA Adviser, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. (“BSP”) and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent of the Adviser and its affiliates. As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements.

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 senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle-market companies. We define middle market companies as those with annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $10 million to $100 million, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We may also purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions. We expect that each investment generally will range between approximately 0.5% and 3.0% of our total assets. As of March 31, 2017, 79.6% of our portfolio was invested in senior secured loans.

Senior 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 also invest in the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation investment vehicles (“Collateralized Securities”).

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 fair value was 2.25 and 2.18 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had six portfolio companies, which represented eleven portfolio investments, on non-accrual status with a total principal amount of $143.4 million, amortized cost of $134.8 million, and fair value of $53.4 million which represented 5.3%, 5.4% and 2.3% of the investment portfolio total principal, amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had six portfolio companies, which represented eight portfolio investments, on non-accrual status with a total principal amount of $136.2 million, amortized cost of $127.6 million, and fair value of $51.2 million which represented 5.0%, 5.1% and 2.1% of the investment portfolio total principal, amortized cost and fair value, respectively. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - in our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional details regarding the Company’s non-accrual policy.

Operating Expenses

The composition of our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,				For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017				2016
Management fees	$	9,538			$	9,413
Subordinated income incentive fees	6,367				—
Interest and credit facility financing expenses	9,850				9,336
Professional fees	1,480				1,570
Other general and administrative	1,625				2,630
Administrative services	203				250
Insurance	6				55
Directors fees	195				126
Total operating expenses	$	29,264			$	23,380

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred $9.5 million of management fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred $6.4 million of incentive fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we incurred $9.4 million of management fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we did not incur any incentive fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, we incurred interest and credit facility financing expenses of $9.9 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Interest and credit facility financing expenses are comprised of interest expense, non-usage fees, trustee fees, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of discount if applicable related to the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, Citi Credit Facility, UBS Credit Facility, Unsecured Notes and the JPMC PB Account. The increase in interest and credit facility financing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 is a result of an increase in the weighted average interest rate as well as an increase in the average debt outstanding.

Net Realized Gain and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments

Net realized gain and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,				For the Three Months Ended March 31,

---

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments, net of deferred taxes, resulted in a net loss of $(7.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to a net loss of $(13.2) million, respectively, for the same period in 2016. We look at net realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) together, as movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations.

The net realized and unrealized loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily driven by realized losses on one subordinated debt, one senior secured first lien, and one equity investment. The net realized and unrealized loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily driven by the unrealized depreciation on our Collateralized Securities and our Fund Investments.

        

Changes in Net Assets from Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $19.4 million versus a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to an increase in incentive fees, partially offset by a decrease in net unrealized loss on investments. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.11 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.

Cash Flows

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $12.9 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we used $12.9 million in operating activities, primarily as a result of purchases of investments of $171.2 million as well as an increase in receivable for unsettled trades of $27.7 million and a decrease in payable for unsettled trades of $47.3 million, partially offset by sales and repayments of investments of $202.8 million.

Net cash used in financing activities of $49.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily related to net repurchases of common stock of $56.7 million and payments of stockholder distributions of $23.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, Citi Credit Facility, UBS Credit Facility and the JPMC PB Account of $31.9 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $17.5 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, 2016 was primarily due to $130.0 million in sales and repayments of investments, offset by cash used in operating activities for purchases of $144.3 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $28.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily related to proceeds from the Wells Fargo Credit Facility and the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility of $80.0 million. These inflows were partially offset by payments of stockholder distributions of $23.2 million and repurchases of common stock of $27.2 million.

    

Recent Developments

DRIP Sales

From April 1, 2017 through the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company has issued 1.2 million shares of common stock including shares issued pursuant to the DRIP. Total gross proceeds from these issuances including proceeds from shares issued pursuant to the DRIP were $10.0 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments, as well as proceeds from sales of our investments and, previously, from the net proceeds of our Offering. As of March 31, 2017, we had issued 191.4 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $2.1 billion, including shares issued to the BSP affiliate and shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan (“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. We may also from time to time enter into other agreements with third parties whereby third parties will contribute to specific investment opportunities. 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.

We intend to conduct semi-annual tender offers pursuant to our share repurchase program. Our board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause us to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:

•	the effect of such repurchases on our qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);

•	the liquidity of our assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);

•	our investment plans and working capital requirements;

•	the relative economies of scale with respect to our size;

•	our history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof; and

•	the condition of the securities markets.

On March 8, 2016, our board of directors amended our share repurchase program. We will begin to make tender offers on a semi-annual basis, instead of on a quarterly basis as was done previously. We will continue to 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 5.0% at each semi-annual tender offer. In addition, in the event of a stockholder’s death or disability, any repurchases of shares made in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability may be included within the overall limitation imposed on tender offers during the relevant redemption period, which provides that we may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock we are able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period.

Distributions

Our board of directors has authorized, and we have declared, cash distributions payable on a monthly basis to stockholders of record on each day since we commenced operations. Since November 2013, the distribution rate has been $0.002378082 per day, which is equivalent to $0.868 per annum, per share of common stock, except for 2016 where the daily distribution rate was $0.002371585 per day to accurately reflect 2016 being a leap year.

The amount of each such distribution will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. We will calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using record and declaration dates and accrue distributions on the date we accept a subscription for shares of our common stock. The distributions are payable by the fifth day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month.

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, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands).

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,				For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017				2016
Distributions declared	$	38,176			$	38,649
Distributions paid	$	38,442			$	38,781
Portion of distributions paid in cash	$	23,544			$	23,160
Portion of distributions paid in DRIP shares	$	14,898			$	15,621

As of March 31, 2017, we had $13.3 million of distributions accrued and unpaid.

    

We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to us, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. We may have distributions which could be characterized as a return of capital for tax purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no portion of our distributions were characterized as 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. 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.

The following table sets forth the distributions made during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,				For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017				2016
Monthly distributions	$	38,176			$	38,649
Total distributions	$	38,176			$	38,649

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 may be subject to a 4% U.S federal excise tax.

Related Party Transactions and Agreements

The Transaction

On July 19, 2016, American Realty Capital II Advisors, LLC, the former parent of the Adviser, entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with a subsidiary of BSP, pursuant to which such subsidiary acquired all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of the Adviser (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, we amended the Investment Advisory Agreement, effective as of November 1, 2016, to allow the Adviser to serve as investment adviser to us following the closing of the Transaction.

Investment Advisory Agreement

    

We entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement on November 1, 2016 under which the Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to us. The Adviser and its affiliates also provide investment advisory services to other funds that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. The Adviser and its affiliates serve as investment adviser or subadvisor to private funds and registered open-end funds, and serves as an investment adviser to a public real estate investment trust. The Adviser’s policies are designed to manage and mitigate the conflicts of interest associated with the allocation of investment opportunities pursuant to the SEC exemptive order. In addition, any affiliated fund currently formed or formed in the future and managed by the Adviser or its affiliates may have overlapping investment objectives with our own and, accordingly, may invest in asset classes similar to those targeted by us. However, in certain instances due to regulatory, tax, investment, or other restrictions, certain investment opportunities may not be appropriate for either us or other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

Administration Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, we terminated our previous administration agreement and entered into a new administration agreement with BSP on November 1, 2016. In connection with the New Administration Agreement, BSP will provide us with office facilities and administrative services.

Co-Investment Relief

The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from making certain negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC permitting the BDC to do so. Unless otherwise provided in the allocation policy, if an investment opportunity is appropriate for both us and other investment funds and the investment opportunity requires more than the price to be negotiated, the investment opportunity will be made available to the other investment fund or us on an alternating basis based on the date of closing of each such investment opportunity and each fund’s available capital. As a result, the Adviser and/or its affiliates may face conflicts in allocating investment opportunities between us and such other entities. Although the Adviser and its affiliates will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner and consistent with applicable allocation procedures, it is possible that, in the future, we may not be given the opportunity to participate in investments made by investment funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

The SEC staff has granted us relief sought in an exemptive application that expands our ability to co-invest in portfolio companies with other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates (“Affiliated Funds”) in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”). Pursuant to the Order, we are permitted to co-invest with our affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) or our independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching by us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our investment objective and strategies.

Transactions with Affiliates

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, an affiliate of BSP purchased $10.0 million of our common stock based on our net asset value per share as of September 30, 2016 in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. On November 7, 2016, we issued approximately 1.2 million shares of our common stock to such BSP affiliate.

(5)	As of March 31, 2017, we had $13.8 million of unused borrowing capacity under the JPMC PB Account.

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.

Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into future funding commitments. As of March 31, 2017, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $39.1 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $27.7 million and unfunded equity capital commitments of $9.4 million. As of December 31, 2016, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $35.7 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $24.7 million and unfunded equity capital commitments of $9.4 million. The unfunded commitments are disclosed in our consolidated schedule of investments. We maintain sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this report, we believe the following accounting policies require the most significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

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

Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. We may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, we determine whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, we use 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 we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.

For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, we measure the fair value of 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 946, as of our measurement date.

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 our quarterly valuation process the Adviser may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms engaged by us. 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).

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

•	Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Adviser, potentially with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by our board of directors;

•	The independent valuation firm(s), if involved, will conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and

•	The board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser, independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of the board of directors.

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

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.

We have a number of investments in Collateralized Securities. Interest income from investments in the “equity” class of these Collateralized Securities (in our 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. We monitor the expected cash inflows from its equity investments in Collateralized Securities, including the expected principal repayments. The effective yield is determined and updated quarterly.

Fee Income

Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned, either upfront or amortized into income. Upon the payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees are recorded as income.

Payment-in-Kind Interest/Dividends

We hold 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. 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. 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.

 

See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of other accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements.

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

69

---

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, 2017, our debt included variable-rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.57% and fixed rate debt, bearing an interest rate of 6.00% with a total carrying value of $947.4 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 statement of assets and liabilities 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		1.13	%
Base Interest Rate		—	%
(+) 100 Basis Points		5.19	%
(+) 200 Basis Points		10.37	%

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

 

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, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of March 31, 2017, we are not 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, 2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Other than as set forth below, 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, 2016.

CLOs typically will have no significant assets other than their underlying loans; payments on CLO investments are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such loans.

CLOs typically will have no significant assets other than their underlying loans. Accordingly, payments on Collateralized Securities are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such underlying loans, net of all management fees and other expenses. Payments to us as a holder of Collateralized Securities are subject to payments received on the underlying loans. This means that relatively small numbers of defaults of underlying loans may adversely impact our returns.

Collateralized Securities are exposed to leveraged credit risk.

We may be in a subordinated position with respect to realized losses on the loans in CLOs. The leveraged nature of CLOs, in particular, magnifies the adverse impact of loan defaults. Collateralized Securities represent a leveraged investment with respect to the underlying loans. Therefore, changes in the market value of Collateralized Securities could be greater than the change in the market value of the underlying loans, which are subject to credit, liquidity and interest rate risk.

There is the potential for interruption and deferral of cash flow from CLO investments.

If certain minimum collateral value ratios and/or interest coverage ratios are not met by a CLO, primarily due to loan defaults, then cash flow that otherwise would have been available to pay distributions to us on our CLO investments may instead be used to redeem any senior notes or to purchase additional loans, until the ratios again exceed the minimum required levels or any senior notes are repaid in full. This could result in an elimination, reduction or deferral in the distribution and/or principal paid to the holders of such Collateralized Securities, which would adversely impact our returns.

The inability of a CLO collateral manager to reinvest the proceeds of the prepayment of loans may adversely affect us.

There can be no assurance that for any CLO investment, in the event that any of the loans of a CLO underlying such investment are prepaid, the CLO collateral manager will be able to reinvest such proceeds in new loans with equivalent investment returns. If the CLO collateral manager cannot reinvest in new loans with equivalent investment returns, the interest proceeds available to pay interest on the rated liabilities and investments may be adversely affected.

Collateralized Securities are subject to prepayments and calls, increasing re-investment risk.

Collateralized Securities and/or the underlying loans may be prepaid more quickly than expected, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s value. Prepayment rates are influenced by changes in interest rates and a variety of economic, geographic and other factors beyond the Company’s control, and consequently cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, for a CLO collateral manager there is often a strong incentive to refinance well performing portfolios once the senior tranches amortize. The yield to maturity of the investments will depend on the amount and timing of payments of principal on the loans and the price paid for the securities. Such yield may be adversely affected by a higher or lower than anticipated rate of prepayments of the debt.

Furthermore, Collateralized Securities generally do not contain optional call provisions, other than a call at the option of the holders of the equity tranches for the senior notes and the junior secured notes to be paid in full after the expiration of an initial period in the deal (referred to as the ‘‘non-call period’’).

The exercise of the call option is by the relevant percentage (usually a majority) of the holders of the equity tranches and, therefore, where the Company does not hold the relevant percentage it will not be able to control the timing of the exercise of the call option. The equity tranches also generally have a call at any time based on certain tax event triggers. In any event, the call can only be exercised by the holders of equity tranches if they can demonstrate (in accordance with the detailed provisions in the transaction) that the senior notes and junior secured notes will be paid in full if the call is exercised.

71

---

Early prepayments and/or the exercise of a call option other than at the Company’s request may also give rise to increased re-investment risk with respect to certain investments, as the Company may realize excess cash earlier than expected. If the Company is unable to reinvest such cash in a new investment with an expected rate of return at least equal to that of the investment repaid, this may reduce the Company’s net income and, consequently, could have an adverse impact on its ability to pay dividends.

Loans of CLOs may be sold and replaced resulting in a loss to us.

The loans underlying Collateralized Securities may be sold and replacement collateral purchased within the parameters set out in the relevant CLO indenture between the CLO and the CLO trustee and those parameters may typically only be amended, modified or waived by the agreement of a majority of the holders of the senior notes and/or the junior secured notes and/or the equity tranche once the CLO has been established. If these transactions result in a net loss, the magnitude of the loss from the perspective of the equity tranche would be increased by the leveraged nature of the investment.

Our investments in CLOs may be subject to special anti-deferral provisions that could result in us incurring tax or recognizing income prior to receiving cash distributions related to such income.

We may in the future purchase residual or subordinated interests in CLOs that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as shares in a ‘‘passive foreign investment company’’ (a ‘‘PFIC’’). If we acquire shares in a PFIC (including equity tranche investments in CLOs that are PFICs), we may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of any ‘‘excess distribution’’ or gain from the disposition of such shares even if such income is distributed as a taxable distribution by us to our stockholders. Certain elections may be available to mitigate or eliminate such tax on excess distributions, but such elections (if available) will generally require us to recognize our share of the PFICs income for each year regardless of whether we receive any

distributions from such PFICs. We must nonetheless distribute such income to maintain our status as a RIC.

If we hold more than 10% of the shares in a foreign corporation that is treated as a controlled foreign corporation (‘‘CFC’’) (including equity tranche investments in a CLO treated as CFC), we may be treated as receiving a deemed distribution (taxable as ordinary income) each year from such foreign corporation in an amount equal to our pro rata share of the corporation’s income for the tax year (including both ordinary earnings and capital gains). If we are required to include such deemed distributions from a CFC in our income, we will be required to distribute such income to maintain our RIC status regardless of whether or not the CFC makes an actual distribution during such year.

If we are required to include amounts in income prior to receiving distributions representing such income, we may have to sell some of our investments at times and/or at prices we would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or forgo new investment opportunities for this purpose. If we are not able to obtain cash from other sources, we may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax.

Proposed regulations may impact our ability to qualify as a RIC if we do not receive timely distributions from our CLO investments.

As discussed above, we may be required to include in our income our proportionate share of the income of certain CLO investments to the extent that such CLOs are PFICs for which we have made a qualifying electing fund (‘‘QEF’’) election or are CFCs. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other thing, derive in each taxable year at least 90% of our gross income from certain sources specified in the Code (the ‘‘90% Income Test’’). Although the Code generally provides that the income inclusions from a QEF or a CFC will be ‘‘good income’’ for purposes of this 90% Income Test to the extent that the QEF or the CFC distribute such income to us in the same taxable year to which the income is included in our income, the Code does not specifically provide whether these income inclusions would be ‘‘good income’’ for this 90% Income Test if we do not receive distributions from the QEF or CFC during such taxable year. The IRS has issued a series of private rulings in which it has concluded that all income inclusions from a QEF or a CFC included in a RIC’s gross income would constitute ‘‘good income’’ for purposes of the 90% Income Test. Such rulings are not binding on the IRS except with respect to the taxpayers to whom such rulings were issued. Accordingly, under current law, we believe that the income inclusions from a CLO that is a QEF or a CFC would be ‘‘good income’’ for purposes of the 90% Income Test. Recently, the IRS and U.S. Treasury Department issued proposed regulations that provide that the income inclusions from a QEF or a CFC would not be good income for purposes of the 90% Income Test unless we receive a cash distribution from such entity in the same year attributable to the included income. If such income were not considered ‘‘good income’’ for purposes of the 90% Income Test, we may fail to qualify as a RIC. If these regulations are finalized, we will carefully monitor our investments in CLOs to avoid disqualification as a RIC.

The Collateralized Securities in which we invest may be subject to withholding tax if they fail to comply with certain reporting requirements.

Legislation commonly referred to as the ‘‘Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act,’’ or FATCA, imposes a withholding tax of 30% on payments of U.S. source interest and distributions, and gross proceeds from the disposition of an instrument that produces U.S. source interest or distributions paid after December 31, 2018, to certain non-U.S. entities, including certain non U.S. financial institutions and investment funds, unless such non-U.S. entity complies with certain reporting requirements regarding its U.S. account holders and its U.S. owners. Most CLO vehicles in which we invest will be treated as non-U.S. financial entities for this purpose, and therefore will be required to comply with these reporting requirements to avoid the 30% withholding. If a CLO vehicle in which we invest fails to properly comply with these reporting requirements, it could reduce the amounts available to distribute to equity and junior debt holders in such CLO vehicle, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.

We may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock we are able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period.

As discussed above, we intend to conduct tender offers pursuant to our share repurchase program on a semi-annual basis. We may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock we are able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period. Our two most recent tender offers were oversubscribed.
