A majority of the variable rate loans to the Company’s portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR or an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly. The Company’s variable rate loans may contain interest rate floors and its variable and fixed rate loans may include payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. For each such loan, the Company has provided the weighted average annual stated interest rate in effect at December 31, 2011.

KCAP FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
KCAP Financial, Inc. (“KCAP Financial”
or the “Company”) is an internally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that is regulated as a business
development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company originates, structures, and invests
in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected equity securities primarily in privately-held middle market companies.
The Company defines the middle market as comprising companies with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(“EBITDA”), of $10 million to $50 million and/or total debt of $25 million to $150 million.
The Company’s investment objective
is to generate current income and capital appreciation from investments made in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected
equity investments in privately-held middle market companies.
Katonah Debt Advisors, L.L.C., a registered
investment adviser, and its asset manager affiliates (collectively, “Katonah Debt Advisors”) is a wholly-owned portfolio
company of the Company. Katonah Debt Advisors manages collateralized loan obligation funds (“CLO Funds”) which invest
in broadly syndicated loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments. On February 29, 2012, the Company purchased Trimaran
Advisors, L.L.C. (“Trimaran Advisors”), a CLO manager similar to Katonah Debt Advisors that had approximately $1.4
billion of assets under management, for total consideration of $13.0 million in cash and 3,600,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock. Contemporaneously with the acquisition of Trimaran Advisors, the Company acquired from Trimaran Advisors equity interests
in certain CLO Funds managed by Trimaran Advisors for an aggregate purchase price of $12.0 million in cash. As of September 30,
2012, Katonah Debt Advisors and Trimaran Advisors are the Company’s only wholly-owned portfolio companies (collectively,
“Asset Manager Affiliates”) and have approximately $3.3 billion of par value assets under management.
The Company also expects to receive distributions
of recurring fee income and to generate capital appreciation from its investments in the asset management businesses of the Asset
Manager Affiliates
The Company has elected to be treated as
a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements
and distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and realized short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term
capital losses, if any. As a RIC, the Company generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income that it distributes
in a timely manner to its stockholders.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements
have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required for annual financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements and notes thereto should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”).
The financial statements reflect all adjustments,
both normal and recurring which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results
of operations and financial condition for the periods presented. Furthermore, the preparation of the financial statements requires
management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences
could be material. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results to be expected for the full year.
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation
S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company does not consolidate portfolio company investments, including those in
which it has a controlling interest (the Asset Manager Affiliates are currently the only companies in which the Company has a controlling
interest). Effective January 1, 2010, the Asset Manager Affiliates adopted guidance encompassed in Accounting Standards Codification
Topic 810, “Consolidation.” Although the Company cannot consolidate portfolio company investments, the adoption of
this new guidance affected the required disclosures relating to the Asset Manager Affiliates, as it requires the Asset Manager
Affiliates to consolidate their managed CLO Funds that are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and for
which the Asset Manager Affiliates are considered to be the primary beneficiaries. As a result of the consolidation of these CLOs
into the Asset Manager Affiliates, each Asset Manager Affiliates qualifies as a “significant subsidiary” and, as a
result, the Company is required to include additional disclosures regarding the Asset Manager Affiliates in its SEC filings. The
additional disclosure is included in Note 5 - Asset Manager Affiliates below.
The Asset Manager Affiliates are valued
and presented on a combined basis as they are all asset managers for CLO Funds, economically linked, under common control, dependent
on one another for shared resources and represent unconsolidated subsidiaries of the Company.
Beginning in the first quarter of
2012, the Company began recognizing dividend income from its CLO Fund securities based on effective interest, which is determined
by using anticipated yield and estimated cash flows as updated quarterly for changes in prepayments, re-investment, credit losses
and other items that may impact distributions. Previous cash distributions were previously recognized as dividends based on recent
historical distributions and CLO Fund performance and accrued as a dividend receivable. Current accruals are now accrued as an
adjustment to the cost basis of the CLO Fund securities. The Company then adjusted such accruals on a quarterly basis to reflect
actual distributions. The Company’s financial statements contain reclassifications of prior period amounts to conform with
such presentation; the effect of such reclassifications had no impact on the net increase in net assets resulting from operations,
total assets or net assets.
Investments
Investment transactions are recorded on the
applicable trade date. Realized gains or losses are determined using the specific identification method.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
.
The Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) is ultimately responsible for making a good faith
determination of the fair value of portfolio investments on a quarterly basis. Debt and equity securities for which market quotations
are readily available are generally valued at such market quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or
whose market price is not readily available are valued by the Board of Directors based on detailed analyses prepared by management,
the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors, and, in certain circumstances, third parties with valuation expertise. Valuations
are conducted by management on 100% of the investment portfolio at the end of each quarter. The Company follows the provisions
of ASC Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
”). This standard defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at
fair value.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
defines “fair value” as the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Subsequent to the adoption of
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, the FASB has issued various staff positions clarifying
the initial standard as noted below.
In May 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance
that clarifies and requires new disclosures about fair value measurements. Information about valuation techniques and unobservable
inputs used in Level III fair value measurements and a narrative description of the sensitivity of Level III measurements to changes
in unobservable inputs were adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2012. Note 4 - Investments below reflects the amended
disclosure requirements. Since this new guidance only amends the disclosures requirements, it did not impact our balance sheet,
statements of operations, or cash flow statement.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
requires the disclosure in interim and annual periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion
of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, during the period.
Beginning with the period ended June 30,
2011, the Company has engaged an independent valuation firm to provide third party valuation consulting services to the Company’s
Board of Directors. Each quarter the independent valuation firm will perform third party valuations on the Company’s investments
in illiquid securities such that they are reviewed at least once during a trailing 12 month period. These third party valuation
estimates are considered as one of the relevant data inputs in the Company’s determination of fair value. The Board of Directors
intends to continue to engage an independent valuation firm in the future to provide certain valuation services, including the
review of certain portfolio assets, as part of the quarterly and annual year-end valuation process.
In 2012 and 2011, the Company engaged an
independent valuation firm to provide a third-party review of the Company’s CLO fair value model relative to its functionality,
model inputs and calculations as a reasonable method to determine the fair value of its CLO Fund investments, in the absence of
Level I or Level II trading activity or observable market inputs. The independent valuation firm concluded that the Company’s
CLO model appropriately factored in all the necessary inputs required to build a discounted cash flow model in connection with
determining the fair value of its CLO Fund investments and that the inputs were being employed correctly.
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 differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments. Further, such
investments may be generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded
securities. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events may occur over the life of the investments that may
cause the value realized on such investments to be different from the currently assigned valuations.
The Company’s valuation methodology
and procedures are as follows:
|
1)
|
Each portfolio company or investment is cross-referenced to an independent pricing service to determine if a current market quote is available. The nature and quality of such quote is reviewed to determine reliability and relevance of the quote. Factors considered in this determination include whether the quote is from a transaction or is a broker quote, the date and aging of such quote, whether the transaction is arms-length, whether it is of a liquidation or distressed nature and certain other factors judged to be relevant by management within the framework of
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
.
|
|
|
|
|
2)
|
If an investment does not have a market quotation on either a broad market exchange or from an independent pricing service, the investment is initially valued by the Company’s investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the portfolio management team.
|
|
|
|
|
3)
|
Preliminary valuation conclusions are discussed and documented by management.
|
|
|
|
|
4)
|
Illiquid loans, junior and mezzanine securities, equity investments, CLO Fund securities and the investment in the Asset Manager Affiliates may be selected for review by an independent valuation firm, which is engaged by the Company’s Board of Directors. Such independent valuation firm reviews management’s preliminary valuations and makes their own independent valuation assessment.
|
|
|
|
|
5)
|
The Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the portfolio valuations, as well as the input and report of such independent valuation firm, as applicable.
|
|
|
|
|
6)
|
Upon approval of the investment valuations by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the results for inclusion in the Company’s quarterly and annual financial statements, as applicable.
|
|
|
|
|
7)
|
The Board of Directors discusses the valuations and determines in good faith that the fair values of each investment in the portfolio is reasonable based upon any applicable independent pricing service, input of management, estimates from independent valuation firms (if any) and the recommendations of the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors.
|
The majority of the Company’s investment
portfolio is composed of debt and equity securities with unique contract terms and conditions and/or complexity that requires a
valuation of each individual investment that considers multiple levels of market and asset specific inputs, including historical
and forecasted financial and operational performance of the individual investment, projected cash flows, market multiples, comparable
market transactions, the priority of the security compared with those of other securities for such issuers, credit risk, interest
rates, and independent valuations and reviews.
Loans and Debt Securities.
To the
extent that the Company’s investments are exchange traded and are priced or have sufficient price indications from normal
course trading at or around the valuation date (financial reporting date), such pricing will determine fair value. Pricing service
marks from third party pricing services may be used as an indication of fair value, depending on the volume and reliability of
the marks, sufficient and reasonable correlation of bid and ask quotes, and, most importantly, the level of actual trading activity.
However, many of the Company’s investments are illiquid investments with little or no trading activity. Further, the Company
has been unable to identify directly comparable market indices or other market guidance that correlate directly to the types of
investments the Company owns. As a result, for most of its assets, the Company determines fair value using alternative methodologies
using available market data, as adjusted, to reflect the types of assets the Company owns, their structure, qualitative and credit
attributes and other asset specific characteristics.
The Company derives fair value for its illiquid
investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using a present value technique that
discounts the estimated contractual cash flows for the underlying assets with discount rates imputed by broad market indices, bond
spreads and yields for comparable issuers relative to the subject assets (the “Market Yield Approach”) and also considers
recent loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset. Discount rates applied to estimated contractual cash flows
for an underlying asset vary by specific investment, industry, priority and nature of the debt security (such as the seniority
or security interest of the debt security) and are assessed relative to two indices, a leveraged loan index and a high-yield bond
index, at the valuation date. The Company has identified these two indices as benchmarks for broad market information related to
its loan and debt investments. Because the Company has not identified any market index that directly correlates to the loan and
debt investments held by the Company and therefore uses the two benchmark indices, these market indices may require significant
adjustment to better correlate such market data for the calculation of fair value of the investment under the Market Yield Approach.
Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value. Further adjustments to the discount rate
may be applied to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. When broad market indices are used
as part of the valuation methodology, their use is subject to adjustment for many factors, including priority, collateral used
as security, structure, performance and other quantitative and qualitative attributes of the asset being valued. The resulting
present value determination is then weighted along with any quotes from observable transactions and broker/pricing quotes. If such
quotes are indicative of actual transactions with reasonable trading volume at or near the valuation date that are not liquidation
or distressed sales, relatively more reliance will be put on such quotes to determine fair value. If such quotes are not indicative
of market transactions or are insufficient as to volume, reliability, consistency or other relevant factors, such quotes will be
compared with other fair value indications and given relatively less weight based on their relevancy. Other significant assumptions,
such as coupon and maturity, are asset-specific and are noted for each investment in the Schedules of Investments.
Equity and Equity-Related Securities
. The
Company’s equity and equity-related securities in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are carried
at fair value based on the enterprise value of the portfolio company, which is determined using various factors, including EBITDA
and cash flows from operations less capital expenditures and other pertinent factors, such as recent offers to purchase a portfolio
company’s securities or other liquidation events. The determined fair values are generally discounted to account for restrictions
on resale and minority ownership positions. The values of the Company’s equity and equity-related securities in public companies
for which market quotations are readily available are based upon the closing public market prices on the balance sheet date. Securities
that carry certain restrictions on sale are typically valued at a discount from the public market value of the security.
The significant inputs used to determine
the fair value of equity and equity-related securities include prices, earnings, EBITDA and cash flows after capital expenditures
for similar peer comparables and the investment entity itself. Equity and equity related securities are classified as Level III,
as described in Note 4 – Investments below, when there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation
given the lack of information related to such equity investments held in nonpublic companies. Significant assumptions observed
for comparable companies are applied to relevant financial data for the specific investment. Such assumptions, such as model discount
rates or price/earnings multiples, vary by the specific investment, equity position and industry and incorporate adjustments for
risk premiums, liquidity and company specific attributes. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation
of fair value.
Asset Manager Affiliates.
The Company’s
investments in the Asset Manager Affiliates are carried at fair value, which is determined after taking into consideration a percentage
of assets under management and a discounted cash flow model incorporating different levels of discount rates depending on the hierarchy
of fees earned (including the likelihood of realization of senior, subordinate and incentive fees) and prospective modeled performance.
Such valuation includes an analysis of comparable asset management companies. The Asset Manager Affiliates are classified as a
Level III investment (as described below). Any change in value from period to period is recognized as net change in unrealized
appreciation or depreciation.
CLO Fund Securities.
The Company
typically makes a minority investment in the most junior class of securities of CLO Funds raised and managed by the Asset Manager
Affiliates and may selectively invest in securities issued by funds managed by other asset management companies (collectively,
“CLO Fund securities”).
The Company’s investments in CLO
Fund securities are carried at fair value, which is based either on (i) the present value of the net expected cash inflows
for interest income and principal repayments from underlying assets and cash outflows for interest expense, debt paydown and other
fund costs for the CLO Funds that are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period and therefore are selling assets
and/or using principal repayments to pay down CLO Fund debt (or will begin to do so shortly), and for which there continue to be
net cash distributions to the class of securities owned by the Company, or (ii) a discounted cash flow model that utilizes prepayment
and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying
cash flow and comparable yields for similar securities or preferred shares to those in which the Company has invested. The Company
recognizes unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Company’s investments in CLO Fund securities as comparable yields
in the market change and/or based on changes in net asset values or estimated cash flows resulting from changes in prepayment or
loss assumptions in the underlying collateral pool. As each investment in CLO Fund securities ages, the expected amount of losses
and the expected timing of recognition of such losses in the underlying collateral pool are updated and the revised cash flows
are used in determining the fair value of the CLO Fund investment. The Company determines the fair value of its investments in
CLO Fund securities on a security-by-security basis.
Due to the individual attributes of each
CLO Fund security, they are classified as a Level III investment unless specific trading activity can be identified at or near
the valuation date. When available, observable market information will be identified, evaluated and weighted accordingly in the
application of such data to the present value models and fair value determination. Significant assumptions to the present value
calculations include default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, investment/reinvestment rates and spreads and the discount
rate by which to value the resulting underlying cash flows. Such assumptions can vary significantly, depending on market data sources
which often vary in depth and level of analysis, understanding of the CLO market, detailed or broad characterization of the CLO
market and the application of such data to an appropriate framework for analysis. The application of data points are based on the
specific attributes of each individual CLO Fund security’s underlying assets, historic, current and prospective performance,
vintage, and other quantitative and qualitative factors that would be evaluated by market participants. The Company evaluates the
source of market data for reliability as an indicative market input, consistency amongst other inputs and results and also the
context in which such data is presented.
For rated note tranches of CLO Fund securities
(those above the junior class) without transactions to support a fair value for the specific CLO Fund and tranche, fair value is
based on discounting estimated bond payments at current market yields, which may reflect the adjusted yield on the leveraged loan
index for similarly rated tranches, as well as prices for similar tranches for other CLO Funds and also other factors such as the
default and recovery rates of underlying assets in the CLO Fund, as may be applicable. Such model assumptions may vary and incorporate
adjustments for risk premiums and CLO Fund specific attributes. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation
of fair value.
Cash
. The Company defines cash
as demand deposits. The Company places its cash with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in checking accounts may exceed
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.
Restricted Cash
. Restricted
cash consisted of cash held in an operating account pursuant to the Company’s secured credit facility agreement with Credit
Suisse AG.
Time Deposits and Money Market Accounts.
Time deposits primarily represent investments of cash held in non-demand deposit accounts. Money market accounts primarily
represent short term interest-bearing deposit accounts including an account that contains restricted cash held for employee flexible
spending accounts.
Interest Income
. Interest
income, including the amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such
amounts are expected to be collected. The Company generally places a loan or security on non-accrual status and ceases recognizing
cash interest income on such loan or security when a loan or security becomes 90 days or more past due or if the Company otherwise
does not expect the debtor to be able to service its debt obligations. Non-accrual loans remain in such status until the borrower
has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due or such loans become current. As of September 30, 2012,
five issuers representing less than 1% of total investments at fair value were considered in default and on non-accrual.
Dividends from Asset Manager Affiliates.
The Company records dividend income from the Asset Manager Affiliates on the declaration date, which represents the ex-dividend
date.
Dividend Income from CLO Fund Securities
.
The Company generates dividend income from its investments in the most junior class of securities of CLO Funds (typically
preferred shares or subordinated securities) managed by the Asset Manager Affiliates and selective investments in securities issued
by funds managed by other asset management companies using the effective interest method based on anticipated yield and estimated
cash flows as updated quarterly for changes in prepayments, re-investment, credit losses and other items that may impact distributions.
The Company’s CLO Fund junior class securities are subordinated to senior note holders who typically receive a rate of return
on their investment at a fixed spread relative to the LIBOR index. The CLO Funds are leveraged funds and any excess cash flow or
“excess spread” (interest earned by the underlying securities in the fund less payments made to senior note holders
and less fund expenses and management fees) is paid to the holders of the CLO Fund’s subordinated securities or preferred
shares.
For non-junior class CLO Fund securities,
such as the Company’s investment in the Class B-2L Notes of the Katonah 2007-1 CLO, interest is earned at a fixed spread
relative to the LIBOR index.
Capital Structuring Service Fees
.
The Company may earn ancillary structuring and other fees related to the origination, investment, disposition or liquidation of
debt and investment securities. Generally, the Company will capitalize loan origination fees, then amortize these fees into interest
income over the term of the loan using the effective interest rate method, recognize prepayment and liquidation fees upon receipt
and equity structuring fees as earned, which generally occurs when an investment transaction closes.
Debt Issuance Costs
. Debt
issuance costs represent fees and other direct costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These amounts
are capitalized and amortized ratably over the contractual term of the borrowing. In January 31, 2011, the Company fully repaid
its outstanding secured credit borrowing facility which had a balance of $86.7 million as of December 31, 2010 and, at repayment,
all related debt issuance costs were fully amortized.
During March 2011, the Company issued $60
million of convertible senior notes (the “Convertible Senior Notes”) and incurred debt issuance costs of approximately
$2.4 million which will be amortized over a five-year period. At September 30, 2012, there was an unamortized debt issuance cost
of approximately $1.6 million included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet. Amortization expense for the nine months
ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $354,000 and $257,000, respectively.
On February 24, 2012, the Company entered
into a three year financing arrangement under which the Company may obtain up to $30 million in financing. In connection with the
Facility, the Company incurred approximately $444,000 of debt origination costs which are being amortized over the term of the
Facility on a straight-line basis of which approximately $360,000 remains to be amortized.
Expenses
. The Company is internally
managed and expenses costs, as incurred, with regard to the running of its operations. Primary operating expenses include employee
salaries and benefits, the costs of identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing, monitoring and servicing the Company’s
investments and related overhead charges and expenses, including rental expense, and any interest expense incurred in connection
with borrowings. The Company and the Asset Manager Affiliates share office space and certain other operating expenses. The Company
has entered into an Overhead Allocation Agreement with the Asset Manager Affiliates which provides for the sharing of such expenses
based on an equal sharing of office lease costs and the ratable usage of other shared resources. The aggregate net payments of
such expenses under the Overhead Allocation Agreement are not material.
Dividends
. Dividends and distributions
to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board
of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management for the period and year.
The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment
plan that provides for reinvestment of its distributions on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder “opts out”
of the plan to receive cash in lieu of having their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s
common stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Improved Disclosures Regarding Fair
Value Measurements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06,
Fair Value
Measurements and Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820),
which provides for improving disclosures
about fair value measurements, primarily significant transfers in and out of Levels I and II, and activity in Level III fair value
measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for the interim and annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2009, while the disclosures about the purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in
the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010
and for the interim periods within those fiscal years. Except for certain detailed Level III disclosures, which are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those years, the new guidance became effective for
the Company’s fiscal 2010 second quarter. The adoption of this disclosure-only guidance is included in Note 4 “—
Investments” and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.
In May 2011, the FASB issued FASB Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement
and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820,
but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information
about fair value measurements has changed. This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and
for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this ASU are
applied prospectively and are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this
ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

Share-based awards that contain nonforfeitable
rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and included in the computation
of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Grants of restricted stock awards to our employees and directors are considered participating
securities when there are earnings in the period and the earnings per share calculations include outstanding unvested restricted
stock awards in the basic weighted average shares outstanding calculation.
Options to purchase 60,000 shares were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2012 because the effect was
not materially dilutive. Options to purchase 60,000 shares were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the
nine months ended September 30, 2012, with a dilutive effect of 12,737 shares. For the three and nine months ended September 30,
2011, options to purchase 60,000 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would
be antidilutive as the exercise prices exceeded the average market price of the common shares.
The Company’s Convertible Senior Notes
are included in the computation of the diluted net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations per share in accordance
with ASC 261-10-45-40-b by application of the “if-converted method.” Under the if-converted method, interest charges
applicable to the convertible debt for the period are added to the reported net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from
operations and the full amount of shares (pro-rata if not outstanding for the full period) that would be issued are added to weighted
average basic shares. Convertible debt is considered anti-dilutive only when its interest per share upon conversion exceeds the
basic net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2012,
the effect of the convertible debt was dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the effect of the convertible debt
was antidilutive.
The if-converted method of computing the
dilutive effects on convertible debt assumes a conversion even if the contracted conversion price exceeds the market value of the
shares. The Company’s Convertible Senior Notes had a conversion price of $8.44 per share which was above the Company’s
net asset value per share at the time of issuance.
The conversion rate
is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including for any cash dividends or distributions paid on shares of our common
stock in excess of a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition,
if certain corporate events occur prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Senior Notes, the conversion rate will be increased
for converting holders.
Upon conversion, the Company would issue the full amount of common stock upon conversion and retire
the full amount of debt outstanding.
4. INVESTMENTS
The Company invests in senior secured loans
and mezzanine debt and, to a lesser extent, equity capital of middle market companies in a variety of industries. However, the
Company may invest in industries in which it currently has little or no investment if it is presented with attractive opportunities.
The Company generally targets companies that generate positive cash flows because the Company looks to cash flows as the primary
source for servicing debt.

The Company may invest up to 30% of the investment
portfolio in opportunistic investments in high-yield bonds, debt and equity securities of CLO Funds, distressed debt or equity
securities of public companies. The Company expects that these public companies generally will have debt that is non-investment
grade. The Company also may invest in debt of middle market companies located outside of the United States, these investments (excluding
the Company’s investments in CLO Funds) are generally not anticipated to be in excess of 10% of the investment portfolio
at the time such investments are made.
At September 30, 2012 and December 31,
2011, approximately 23% and 21% of the Company’s total assets were foreign assets (including the Company’s investments
in CLO Funds, which are typically domiciled outside the U.S.)
At September 30, 2012 and December 31,
2011, the Company’s ten largest portfolio companies represented approximately 56% and 62%, respectively, of the total fair
value of its investments. The Company’s largest investment, the Asset Manager Affiliates represented 26% and 17% of the total
fair value of the Company’s investments at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Excluding Asset Manager
Affiliates and CLO Fund securities, the Company’s ten largest portfolio companies represented approximately 20% and 26% of
the total fair value of the Company’s investments at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Investment in CLO Fund Securities
The Company typically makes a minority investment
in the most junior class of securities of CLO Funds (typically preferred shares or subordinated securities) managed by the Asset
Manager Affiliates and may selectively invest in securities issued by funds managed by other asset management companies. CLO Funds
managed by the Asset Manager Affiliates (“CLO Fund securities managed by affiliate”) invest primarily in broadly syndicated
non-investment grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments of corporate issuers. The underlying assets in each of
the CLO Funds in which the Company has an investment are generally diversified secured or unsecured corporate debt.
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31,
2011, the Company had approximately $68 million and $48 million, respectively, of CLO Fund securities at fair value. The cost basis
of the Company’s investment in CLO Fund securities as of September 30, 2012 was approximately $86 million and aggregate unrealized
depreciation on the CLO Fund securities totaled approximately $18 million. The cost basis of the Company’s investment in
CLO Fund securities as of December 31, 2011, was approximately $67 million and aggregate unrealized depreciation on the CLO Fund
securities totaled approximately $18 million.
All CLO Funds managed by the Asset Manager
Affiliates are currently making quarterly dividend distributions to the Company and are paying all senior and subordinate management
fees to the Asset Manager Affiliates. With the exception of the Katonah III, Ltd. and the Katonah V, Ltd. CLO Funds, all third-party
managed CLO Funds held as investments are making quarterly dividend distributions to the Company.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the provisions of
Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures
, which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured
and reported at fair value. This standard defines fair value and establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes
and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value and expands disclosures about assets
and liabilities measured at fair value.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
defines “fair value” as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. This fair value definition focuses on an exit price in the principal, or most advantageous market, and
prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs (which may be weighted or adjusted for relevance,
reliability and specific attributes relative to the subject investment) over entity-specific inputs. 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. Subsequent to
the adoption of
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, the FASB has issued various staff positions clarifying the initial
standard (see Note 2. “Significant Accounting Policies—Investments”).
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
establishes the following three-level hierarchy, based upon the transparency of inputs to the fair value measurement of an asset
or liability as of the measurement date:
Level I – Unadjusted quoted
prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in
Level I include listed equities and listed securities. As required by
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, the Company
does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale
could reasonably affect the quoted price.
Level II – Pricing inputs
are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Such
inputs may be quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable
or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full character of the financial instrument, or inputs that
are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market information. Investments which are generally included in this
category include illiquid corporate loans and bonds and less liquid, privately held or restricted equity securities for which some
level of recent trading activity has been observed.
Level III – Pricing inputs
are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.
The inputs may be based on the Company’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability
or may use Level II inputs, as adjusted, to reflect specific investment attributes relative to a broader market assumption. The
use of these inputs in determining the fair value of an asset or liability may require significant management judgment or estimation.
Even if observable market data for comparable performance or valuation measures (earnings multiples, discount rates, other financial/valuation
ratios, etc.) are available, such investments are grouped as Level III if any significant data point that is not also market observable
(private company earnings, cash flows, etc.) is used in the valuation methodology.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure
fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair
value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment
of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and the Company considers
factors specific to the investment. The Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which its investments
are trading, in determining fair value. Inputs that are backed by actual transactions, those that are highly correlated to the
specific investment being valued and those derived from reliable or knowledgeable sources will tend to have a higher weighting
in determining fair value. The determination of the fair value of the Company’s investments is based on an assessment of
each underlying investment, the current and prospective operating and financial performance of the portfolio company, consideration
of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market-based information, including comparable transactions,
performance factors, and other investment or industry specific market data, among other factors.
The following table summarizes the fair
value of investments by the above
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
fair value hierarchy levels as of September 30,
2012 (unaudited) and December 31, 2011, respectively:

As a BDC, it is required that the Company
invest primarily in the debt and equity of non-public or thinly traded public companies for which there is little, if any, market-observable
information. As a result a significant portion of the Company’s investments at any given time will likely be deemed Level
III investments. The Company believes that investments classified as Level III for
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
have a further hierarchal framework which prioritizes and ranks such valuations based on the degree of independent and observable
inputs, objectivity of data and models and the level of judgment required to adjust comparable data. The investments listed in
the above table are presented in descending order from the highest to lowest degree of independent and observable inputs and are
discussed in such order below.
When possible, the Company will obtain
investment value indications from third party pricing services. Generally, such value indications represent a trading or broker
quote on an asset that is infrequently traded. If the quotes are deemed reliable and current, such quotes are deemed Level II assets.
If the quotes are not deemed reliable and current, Level III inputs and assessments may be relied upon and the value will be deemed
a Level III asset (consistent with a fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement).
The Asset Manager Affiliates may also receive
incentive fees from CLO Funds upon exceeding specified relative and/or absolute return thresholds. Such fees are recorded upon
completion of the measurement period which varies by CLO Fund. If incentive fees are paid upon reaching such investment return
thresholds, they are not subject to claw-back provisions.
The Company derives fair value for its illiquid
investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using the Market Yield Approach and also
considers recent loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset. Discount rates applied to estimated contractual
cash flows for an underlying asset vary by specific investment, industry, priority and nature of the debt security (such as the
seniority or security interest of the debt security) and are assessed relative to two indices, a leveraged loan index and a high-yield
bond index, at the valuation date. The Company has identified these two indices as benchmarks for broad market information related
to its loan and debt investments. Because the Company has not identified any market index that directly correlates to the loan
and debt investments held by the Company and therefore uses the two benchmark indices, these market indices may require significant
adjustment to better correlate such market data for the calculation of fair value of the investment under the Market Yield Approach.
Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value. Further adjustments to the discount rate
may be applied to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. When broad market indices are used
as part of the valuation methodology, their use is subject to adjustment for many factors, including priority, collateral used
as security, structure, performance and other quantitative and qualitative attributes of the asset being valued. The resulting
present value determination is then weighted along with any quotes from observable transactions and broker/pricing quotes. If such
quotes are indicative of actual transactions with reasonable trading volume at or near the valuation date that are not liquidation
or distressed sales, relatively more reliance will be put on such quotes to determine fair value. If such quotes are not indicative
of market transactions or are insufficient as to volume, reliability, consistency or other relevant factors, such quotes will be
compared with other fair value indications and given relatively less weight based on their relevancy. The appropriateness of specific
valuation methods and techniques may change as market conditions and available data change.
In 2012 and 2011, the Company engaged an
independent valuation firm to provide a third-party review of the Company’s CLO fair value model relative to its functionality,
model inputs, and calculations as a reasonable method to determine the fair value of its CLO Fund investments in the absence of
Level I or Level II trading activity or observable market inputs. The independent valuation firm concluded that the Company’s
CLO model appropriately factored in all the necessary inputs required to build a discounted cash flow model in connection with
determining the fair value of its CLO Fund investments and that the inputs were being employed correctly.
Beginning with the period ending June 30,
2011, the Company has engaged an independent valuation firm to provide third party valuation consulting services to the Company’s
Board of Directors. Each quarter the independent valuation firm will perform third party valuations on the Company’s investments
on illiquid securities such that they are reviewed at least once during a trailing 12 month period. These third party valuation
estimates are considered as one of the relevant data inputs in the Company’s determination of fair value. The Board of Directors
intends to continue to engage an independent valuation firm in the future to provide certain valuation services, including the
review of certain portfolio assets, as part of the quarterly and annual year-end valuation process.
Values derived for debt securities using
public/private company comparables generally utilize market-observable data from such comparables and specific, non-public and
non-observable financial measures (such as earnings or cash flows) for the private, underlying company/issuer. Such non-observable
company/issuer data is typically provided on a monthly basis, is certified as correct by the management of the company/issuer and/or
audited by an independent accounting firm on an annual basis. Since such private company/issuer data is not publicly available
it is not deemed market-observable data and, as a result, such investment values are grouped as Level III assets.
Values derived for the Asset Manager Affiliates
using public/private company comparables generally utilize market-observable data from such comparables and specific, non-public
and non-observable financial measures (such as assets under management, historical and prospective earnings) for the Asset Manager
Affiliates. The Company recognizes that comparable asset managers may not be fully comparable to the Asset Manager Affiliates and
typically identifies a range of performance measures and/or adjustments within the comparable population with which to determine
value. Since any such ranges and adjustments are entity specific, they are not considered market-observable data and thus require
a Level III grouping. Illiquid investments that have values derived through the use of discounted cash flow models and residual
enterprise value models are grouped as Level III assets.
The Company’s policy for determining
transfers between levels is based solely on the previously defined three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement. Transfers
between the levels of the fair value hierarchy are separately noted in the tables below and the reason for such transfer described
in each table’s respective footnotes. The changes in investments measured at fair value for which the Company has used unobservable
inputs to determine fair value are as follows:

¹ The transfers to Level II from Level III in the nine
months ended September 30, 2012 were primarily due to the availability of observable market inputs and multiple quotes from pricing
vendors and/or broker dealers as a result of the return of liquidity in the credit markets. The transfers into Level III during
the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were primarily due to additional valuation modeling data becoming available during the
period. There were no transfers between Level I and Level II during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

¹ For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company
had no transfers into or out of Level III during the period. There were no transfers between Level I and Level II during the nine
months ended September 30, 2011.
As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s
Level II portfolio investments were valued by a third party pricing service for which the prices are not adjusted and for which
inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full character of the financial instrument,
or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market information. The fair value of the Company’s
Level II portfolio investments was $94,203,270 as of September 30, 2012.
As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s

The significant unobservable inputs used
in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt securities include the comparable yields of similar investments in similar
industries, effective discount rates, average EBITDA multiples, and weighted average cost of capital. Significant increases or
decreases in such comparable yields would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used
in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity securities include the EBITDA multiple of similar investments in similar
industries and the weighted average cost of capital. Significant increases or decreases in such inputs would result in a significantly
lower or higher fair value measurement.
Significant unobservable inputs used in
the fair value measurement of the Company’s CLO Fund securities include default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates,
and spreads and the discount rate by which to value the resulting underlying cash flows. Such assumptions can vary significantly,
depending on market data sources which often vary in depth and level of analysis, understanding of the CLO market, detailed or
broad characterization of the CLO market and the application of such data to an appropriate framework for analysis. The application
of data points are based on the specific attributes of each individual CLO Fund security’s underlying assets, historic, current
and prospective performance, vintage, and other quantitative and qualitative factors that would be evaluated by market participants.
The Company evaluates the source of market data for reliability as an indicative market input, consistency amongst other inputs
and results and also the context in which such data is presented. Significant increases or decreases in probability of default
and loss severity inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. In general, a change
in the assumption of the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the
loss severity in an event of default. Significant increases or decreases in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly
lower or higher fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used
in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Asset Manager Affiliates is the discount rate used to present value prospective
cash flows. Prospective revenues are generally based on a fixed percentage of the par value of CLO Fund assets under management
and are recurring in nature for the term of the CLO Fund so long as the Asset Manager Affiliates manage the fund. As a result,
the annual management fees earned by the Asset Manager Affiliates are not subject to market value fluctuations in the underlying
collateral. The discounted cash flow model incorporates different levels of discount rates depending on the hierarchy of fees earned
(including the likelihood of realization of senior, subordinate and incentive fees) and prospective modeled performance. Significant
increases or decreases in such discount rate would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
5. ASSET MANAGER AFFILIATES
The Asset Manager Affiliates are wholly-owned
portfolio companies of the Company. The Asset Manager Affiliates manage CLO Funds primarily for third party investors that invest
in broadly syndicated loans, high yield bonds and other credit instruments issued by corporations. At September 30, 2012, Asset
Manager Affiliates had approximately $3.3 billion of par value of assets under management, and the Company’s 100% equity
interest in the Asset Manager Affiliates was valued at approximately $74 million.
As a manager of the CLO Funds, the Asset
Manager Affiliates receive contractual and recurring management fees and may receive a one-time structuring fee from the CLO Funds
for their management and advisory services. The annual fees which the Asset Manager Affiliates receive are generally based on a
fixed percentage of assets under management (at par value and not subject to changes in market value), and the Asset Manager Affiliates
generate annual operating income equal to the amount by which their fee income exceeds their operating expenses. The annual management
fees the Asset Manager Affiliates receive have two components - a senior management fee and a subordinated management fee. Currently,
all CLO Funds managed by the Asset Manager Affiliates are paying both their senior and subordinated management fees on a current
basis.
The revenue that the Asset Manager Affiliates
generate through the fees they receive for managing CLO Funds and after paying the expenses associated with their operations, including
compensation of their employees, may be distributed to the Company. Any distributions of the Asset Manager Affiliates’ net
income are recorded as “dividends from affiliate asset managers” in its financial statements. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2012, the Asset Manager Affiliates made distributions of $2,950,000 to the Company. For the nine months ended September
30, 2011, the Asset Manager Affiliates made distributions of $1,160,000 to the Company; dividends are recorded as declared (where
declaration date represents ex-dividend date) by the Asset Manager Affiliates as income on our statement of operations.
As with all other investments, the Asset
Manager Affiliates’ fair value is determined quarterly. The valuation is primarily based on an analysis of both a percentage
of its assets under management and the Asset Manager Affiliates’ estimated operating income. Any change in value from period
to period is recognized as unrealized gain or loss. See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 4, “Investments”
for further information relating to the Company’s valuation methodology.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Asset Manager
Affiliates adopted guidance encompassed in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidation.” The adoption
of this new guidance had an impact on the disclosures relating to the Asset Manager Affiliates which had previously not been required,
as its provisions require the Asset Manager Affiliates to consolidate certain of their managed CLO Funds that were not previously
consolidated. As a result of the consolidation of these CLO Funds into the Asset Manager Affiliates, the financial results of the
Asset Manager Affiliates indicate that they qualify as a “significant subsidiary” of the Company requiring the following
additional disclosures. These disclosures regarding the Asset Manager Affiliates do not directly impact the financial position,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

All of the consolidated VIEs’ investment
balances are CLO Fund-related. The assets of the CLO Funds are held solely to satisfy the obligations of the CLO Funds. The Asset
Manager Affiliates have no right to the benefits from, nor do they bear the risks associated with, the collateral assets held by
the CLO Funds, beyond the management fees generated from the CLO Funds. If the Asset Manager Affiliates were to liquidate, the
collateral assets would not be available to the general creditors of the Asset Manager Affiliates. Additionally, the investors
in the CLO Funds have no recourse to the general credit of the Asset Manager Affiliates for the securities issued by the CLO Funds.
The consolidation of the VIEs’ investment
products in the Asset Manager Affiliates’ financial statements is not reflective of the underlying financial position, results
of operations or cash flows of the Asset Manager Affiliates as stand-alone entities. Furthermore, the financial operations of the
Asset Manager Affiliates, whether consolidated with the CLO funds they manage or on a stand-alone basis, are not reflective of
the fair value of the Asset Manager Affiliates as reported on the Company’s balance sheet and schedule of investments as
the Company is required under GAAP to report the Asset Manager Affiliates as a portfolio company at fair value.
As separately regarded entities for tax purposes,
the Asset Manager Affiliates are taxed at normal corporate rates. For tax purposes, any distributions of taxable net income earned
by the Asset Manager Affiliates to the Company would generally need to be distributed to the Company’s shareholders. Generally,
such distributions of the Asset Manager Affiliates’ income to the Company’s shareholders will be considered as qualified
dividends for tax purposes. The Asset Manager Affiliates’ taxable net income will differ from GAAP net income because of
deferred tax timing adjustments and permanent tax adjustments. Deferred tax timing adjustments may include differences for the
recognition and timing of depreciation, bonuses to employees and stock option expense. Permanent differences may include adjustments,
limitations or disallowances for meals and entertainment expenses, penalties, tax goodwill amortization and net operating loss
carryforward.
Goodwill amortization for tax purposes
was created upon the purchase of 100% of the equity interests in Katonah Debt Advisors prior to the Company’s initial public
offering in 2006 and in the February 2012 purchase of 100% of the equity interests in Trimaran Advisors. These transactions were
considered an asset purchase under Section 351(a) of the Code. Katonah Debt Advisors has approximately $32 million being
amortized for tax purposes on a straight-line basis over 15 years, which accounts for an annual difference between GAAP income
and taxable income by approximately $2 million per year over such period. Trimaran Advisors has approximately $16 million being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years, which accounts for an annual difference between GAAP income and taxable income
by approximately $3.5 million per year over such period.
At September 30, 2012 there were no intercompany
balances with our affiliates. At December 31, 2011 there was an intercompany balance of $3,517 due from our affiliates.

Secured Credit Facility
At December 31, 2010, the Company had a
secured credit facility with an outstanding balance of $86,746,582. On January 31, 2011, the Company repaid in full the outstanding
balance under this facility, resulting in the lenders’ release to the Company of approximately $73 million of collateral
previously securing the facility and their payment of a $2 million cash settlement to the Company. This facility was terminated
in connection with such repayment.
On February 24, 2012, the Company entered
into a Note Purchase Agreement with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (“CS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA)
LLC, as arranger, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, as collateral administrator and collateral agent,
and KCAP Funding, a special-purpose bankruptcy remote wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“KCAP Funding”), under
which the Company may obtain up to $30 million in financing (the “Facility”). The scheduled maturity date for the Facility
is December 20, 2014. Interest on the Facility is LIBOR + 300 basis points and payable quarterly.
Advances under the Facility are used by
the Company primarily to make additional investments. The Facility is secured by loans that it currently owns and a security interest
in the Company’s right to receive certain management fees. The Company’s borrowings under the Facility are effected
through KCAP Funding.
As of September 30, 2012, there was an
outstanding balance of $28,000,000 under the Facility and the Company was in compliance with all its debt covenants. As of September
30, 2012, the Company had restricted cash balances of approximately $6.1 million which it maintained in accordance with the terms
of the Facility. As of September 30, 2012 the Company has pledged assets with a fair value of approximately $42 million as collateral
in accordance with the terms of the Facility.
In connection with the Facility, the Company
incurred approximately $444,000 of debt origination costs which are being amortized over the term of the Facility on a straight-line
basis of which approximately $350,000 remains to be amortized.
Convertible Senior Notes
On March 16, 2011, the Company issued $55
million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured 8.75% convertible senior notes due March 15, 2016 (“Convertible Senior
Notes”). On March 23, 2011, pursuant to an over-allotment option, the Company issued an additional $5 million of such Convertible
Senior Notes for a total of $60 million in aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Senior
Notes, following underwriting expenses, were approximately $57.7 million. Interest on the Convertible Senior Notes is paid semi-annually
in arrears on March 15 and September 15, at a rate of 8.75%, commencing September 15, 2011. The Notes mature on March 15, 2016
unless converted earlier. The Convertible Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.
The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible
into shares of Company’s common stock based on a conversion rate of 120.2202 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal
amount of Convertible Senior Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.3181 per share of common
stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including for any cash dividends or distributions
paid on shares of our common stock in excess of a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share, but will not be adjusted for any accrued
and unpaid interest. In addition, if certain corporate events occur prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Senior Notes,
the conversion rate will be increased for converting holders.
Upon conversion, unless a holder converts
after a record date for an interest payment but prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the holder will receive a separate
cash payment with respect to the Convertible Senior Notes surrendered for conversion representing accrued and unpaid interest to,
but not including the conversion date. Any such payment will be made on the settlement date applicable to the relevant conversion
on the Convertible Senior Notes.
No holder of Convertible Senior Notes will
be entitled to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon conversion to the extent (but only to the extent) that such
receipt would cause such converting holder to become, directly or indirectly, a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of more than 5.0% of the shares
of the Company’s common stock outstanding at such time. The 5.0% limitation shall no longer apply following the effective
date of any fundamental change. The Company will not issue any shares in connection with the conversion or redemption of the Convertible
Senior Notes which would equal or exceed 20% of the shares outstanding at the time of the transaction in accordance with NASDAQ
rules.
Subject to certain exceptions, holders
may require us to repurchase, for cash, all or part of their Convertible Senior Notes upon a fundamental change at a price equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes being repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but
excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, in the case of certain fundamental changes and without duplication
of the foregoing amount, the Company will also pay holders an amount in cash (or, in certain circumstances, shares of the Company’s
common stock) equal to the present value of the remaining interest payments on such notes through, and including, the maturity
date.
In connection with the issuance of the
Convertible Senior Notes, the Company incurred approximately $2.4 million of debt offering costs which are being amortized over
the term of the facility on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective yield method,
of which approximately
$1.6 million remains to be amortized.
The Convertible Senior Notes have been
analyzed for any features that would require its accounting to be bifurcated. There are no features that require accounting to
be bifurcated, and as a result, they are recorded as a liability at their contractual amounts.
Fair Value of Convertible Senior Notes.
The Company carries the Convertible Senior Notes at cost. The Convertible Senior Notes were issued in a private placement and there
is no active trading of these notes. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding Convertible Senior Notes was approximately
$67.7 million at September 30, 2012. The fair value was determined based on the average of indicative bid and offer pricing for
the Convertible Senior Notes.
7. DISTRIBUTABLE TAXABLE INCOME
Effective December 11, 2006, the Company
elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and adopted a December 31 calendar year end. As a RIC, the Company is not subject
to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed currently to its stockholders as a dividend. The
Company’s quarterly dividends, if any, are determined by the Board of Directors. The Company anticipates distributing at
least 90% of its taxable income and gains, within the Subchapter M rules, and thus the Company anticipates that it will not incur
any federal or state income tax at the RIC level. As a RIC, the Company is also subject to a federal excise tax based on distributive
requirements of its taxable income on a calendar year basis (e.g., calendar year 2012). Depending on the level of taxable income
earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next
tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, to the extent required. The Company anticipates timely distribution of its taxable
income within the tax rules, and the Company anticipates that it will not incur a US federal excise tax for the calendar year 2012.

net assets resulting from operations to taxable income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

For the quarter ended September 30, 2012,
the Company declared a dividend on September 17, 2012 of $0.24 per share for a total of approximately $6.3 million. The record
date was October 10, 2012 and the dividend was distributed on October 29, 2012.
Taxable income differs from net increase
(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations primarily due to: (1) unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments,
as investment gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized; (2) amortization of discount on
CLO Fund securities; (3) amortization of organizational costs; (4) non-deductible expenses; (5) stock compensation
expense that is not currently deductible for tax purposes; (6) excess of capital losses over capital gains; and (7) recognition
of interest income on certain loans.
At September 30, 2012, the Company had a
net capital loss carryforward of approximately $54 million to offset net capital gains, to the extent provided by federal
tax law. The capital loss carryforward will begin to expire in the tax year ending December 31, 2015.
The Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) as of January 1, 2007. ASC
740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial
statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s
tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable
tax authority. The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely
than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions,
and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on
returns filed for open tax years (the last three fiscal years) or expected to be taken in the Company’s current year tax
return. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and New York State, and the Company is not aware of
any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially
in the next 12 months. The adoption of ASC 740 did not have an effect on the financial position or results of operations of
the Company as there was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no change to the beginning capital of the Company. Management’s
determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not
limited to, an ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to financial instruments
with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the needs of the Company’s investment in portfolio
companies. Such instruments include commitments to extend credit and may involve, in varying degrees, elements of credit risk in
excess of amounts recognized on the Company’s balance sheet. Prior to extending such credit, the Company attempts to limit
its credit risk by conducting extensive due diligence, obtaining collateral where necessary and negotiating appropriate financial
covenants. As of December 31, 2011 the Company had commitments to make a total of approximately $2 million of investments in various
revolving senior secured loans, of which none had been funded as of December 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2012 the Company had
no commitments to make investments in various revolving senior secured loans.
On January 11, 2010, the staff of the SEC’s
Division of Enforcement informed the Company that it was conducting an informal inquiry. The focus of the inquiry concerns the
valuation methodology and procedures used by the Company to value its investments. On April 30, 2010, the SEC Staff advised the
Company that a formal order of private investigation had been issued and that the informal inquiry was now a formal investigation.
A subpoena has been issued to the Company in connection with the formal investigation. The subpoena requests that the Company produce
documents that primarily relate to the valuation methodology and procedures used by the Company to value its investments. Since
January 2010, the Company has been providing documents in response to the informal inquiry and the subpoena, and the SEC Staff
has taken testimony from Company representatives. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC Staff’s investigation.
In connection with the investigation described
above, on April 19, 2012, the SEC Staff issued a “Wells Notice” to Michael I. Wirth, the Company’s former Chief
Financial Officer, indicating that the SEC Staff is considering recommending that the SEC institute proceedings against Mr. Wirth
alleging that Mr. Wirth violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws. The Wells Notice does not constitute
a determination that Mr. Wirth violated any law. Under the process established by the SEC, Mr. Wirth will have the opportunity
to make a Wells Submission before the SEC Staff makes a formal recommendation to the SEC regarding what action, if any, should
be brought by the SEC. Mr. Wirth has informed the Company that he has made such a submission.
Neither the Company nor any other person
employed by the Company has received a Wells Notice. The Company and the other officers involved in this matter, including Dayl
W. Pearson, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, are engaged in settlement negotiations in an effort to resolve
the matter and believe that discussions to date with the SEC Staff will lead to a settlement. Any settlement remains subject to
approval by the SEC.
The Company cannot at this time predict with
certainty the outcome of the above matter, including whether the SEC will approve any settlement or whether the SEC will ultimately
determine to issue a Wells Notice to the Company or any other person involved in this matter. The Company does not anticipate that
the Wells Notice referenced above or the terms of any settlement involving the Company and the other officers involved in the matter
will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
During the nine months ended September
30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 60,023 and 141,278 shares, respectively, of common stock under
its dividend reinvestment plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 the Company issued 3,600,000 shares in connection
with the acquisition of Trimaran Advisors. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued 28,847 shares of restricted
stock, 232,768 shares were forfeited and 97,071 shares of restricted stock were converted to common stock due to vesting. For the
year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 90,805 shares of restricted stock for which 3,668 shares were forfeited and 96,122
shares vested. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stockissued and outstanding as of September 30, 2012 and
December 31, 2011 was 26,448,313 and 22,992,211, respectively.
10. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
During 2006, the Company established the
2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which plan was amended in 2008 (as amended, the “Plan”). 2,000,000 shares of common stock
are reserved for issuance under the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide officers and prospective employees of the Company
with additional incentives and align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Options granted under the Plan
are exercisable at a price equal to the fair market value (market closing price) of the shares on the day the option is granted.
Restricted stock granted under the Plan is granted at a price equal to the fair market value (market closing price) of the shares
on the day such restricted stock is granted.
During 2008, the Company established a non-employee
director plan, which plan was amended in 2008 (as amended, the “Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Plan”).
Pursuant to such amendment, the Company is permitted to issue restricted stock, and is no longer permitted to issue any options
for common stock, of the Company to non-employee directors. Options granted to non-employee directors prior to the effectiveness
of the Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Plan remained outstanding in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated
Non-Employee Director Plan as in place prior to such amendment.
Stock Options
During the years ended December 31, 2009
and December 31, 2010, 20,000 options per year were granted to non-employee directors as partial annual compensation for their
services as director. Each of these annual options grants have a vesting period by which 50% of such options vest on the grant
date and 50% vest on the first grant date anniversary. The exercise price of these grants and other characteristics of these grants
are as follows:

On June 10, 2011, the Company’s shareholders
approved the Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Plan. Accordingly, the previous annual grant of 20,000 options to non-employee
directors was discontinued and replaced with an annual grant of 4,000 shares of restricted stock as partial annual compensation
for the services of the non-employee directors.

Represents the difference between the market value of shares
of the Company upon exercise of the options at September 30, 2012 and the cost for the option holders to exercise the options.
The Company uses a Binary Option Pricing
Model (American, call option) as its valuation model to establish the expected value of all stock option grants. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized no non-cash compensation expense related to stock options. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized non-cash compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $8,000.
At September 30, 2012, the Company had no remaining compensation cost related to unvested stock option-based awards.
Restricted Stock
On June 13, 2008, the Company’s shareholders
approved the Plan, as amended, and the Board of Directors approved the grant of awards of 100,250 shares of restricted stock to
certain executive officers of the Company. On July 22, 2010 and August 5, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the grant of an
additional 103,519 and 84,889 shares of restricted stock, respectively, to a certain executive officer of the Company. Such awards
of restricted stock will vest as to 50% of the shares on the third anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 50% of the shares
on the fourth anniversary of the grant date.
On June 13, 2008, the Company’s Board
of Directors authorized the Company to allow employees who agree to cancel options that they hold to receive shares of the Company's
common stock to receive 1 share of restricted stock for every 5 options so cancelled. The shares of restricted stock received by
employees through any such transaction will vest annually generally over the remaining vesting schedule as was applicable to the
cancelled options. Subsequently, employees holding options to purchase 1,295,000 shares individually entered into agreements to
cancel such options and to receive 259,000 shares of restricted stock. As of September 30, 2012, 233,998 of such shares were vested.
The remaining 25,002 shares have been forfeited.
On June 10, 2011, the Company’s shareholders
approved the Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Plan, and the Board of Directors approved the grant of awards of 4,000
shares of restricted stock to the non-employee directors of the Company as partial annual compensation for their services as director.
Such awards of restricted stock will vest as to 50% of the shares on the grant date and the remaining 50% of the shares on the
first anniversary of the grant date.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2012, 97,071 shares of restricted stock had vested. As of September 30, 2012, there were options to purchase 60,000 shares
of common stock outstanding and there were 26,347 shares of restricted stock outstanding. Information with respect to restricted
stock granted, exercised and forfeited under the Plan for the period January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012 is as follows:

Dividends are paid on all outstanding shares
of restricted stock, whether or not vested. In general, shares of unvested restricted stock are forfeited upon the recipient’s
termination of employment. As of September 30, 2012, there was approximately $158,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related
to unvested share-based awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3 years.
11. OTHER EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
The Company adopted a 401(k) plan (“401K
Plan”) effective January 1, 2007. The 401K Plan is open to all full time employees. The 401K Plan permits an employee
to defer a portion of their total annual compensation up to the Internal Revenue Service annual maximum based on age and eligibility.
The Company makes contributions to the 401K Plan of up to 2.67% of the employee’s first 74.9% of maximum eligible compensation,
which fully vest at the time of contribution. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company made contributions
to the 401K Plan of approximately $34,000 and $18,000, respectively.
The Company has also adopted a deferred
compensation plan (“Pension Plan”) effective January 1, 2007. Employees are eligible for the Pension Plan provided
that they are employed and working with the Company to participate in at least 100 days during the year and remain employed as
of the last day of the year. Employees do not make contributions to the Pension Plan. On behalf of the employee, the Company may
contribute to the Pension Plan 1) up to 8.0% of all compensation up to the Internal Revenue Service annual maximum and 2) up to
5.7% excess contributions on any incremental amounts above the social security wage base limitation and up to the Internal Revenue
Service annual maximum. Employees vest 100% in the Pension Plan after five years of service. For the nine months ended September
30, 2012, the Company made a contribution of approximately $104,000 to the Pension Plan and a contribution of $112,000 to the Pension
Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

GENERAL
We are an internally managed, non-diversified
closed-end investment company that is regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. We originate, structure, and invest in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected equity securities primarily
in privately-held middle market companies. We define the middle market as comprising companies with earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $10 million to $50 million and/or total debt of $25 million to $150 million.
Our investment objective is to generate
current income and capital appreciation from investments made in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected equity
investments in privately-held middle market companies.
Katonah Debt Advisors, L.L.C., a registered
investment adviser, and its asset manager affiliates (collectively, “Katonah Debt Advisors”) is a wholly-owned portfolio
company. Katonah Debt Advisors manages collateralized loan obligation funds (“CLO Funds”) which invest in broadly syndicated
loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments. On February 29, 2012, we purchased Trimaran Advisors, L.L.C. (“Trimaran
Advisors”), a registered investment adviser and CLO manager similar to Katonah Debt Advisors that had assets under management
of approximately $1.4 billion, for total consideration of $13.0 million in cash and 3,600,000 shares of our common stock. Contemporaneously
with the acquisition of Trimaran Advisors, we acquired from Trimaran Advisors equity interests in certain CLO Funds managed by
Trimaran Advisors for an aggregate purchase price of $12.0 million in cash. As of September 30, 2012, Katonah Debt Advisors and
Trimaran Advisors are our only wholly-owned portfolio companies (collectively, “Asset Manager Affiliates”) and have
approximately $3.3 billion of par value assets under management.
The Company also expects to receive distributions
of recurring fee income and to generate capital appreciation from its investments in the asset management businesses of the Asset
Manager Affiliates.
The Company has elected to be treated as
a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements
and distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and realized short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term
capital losses, if any. As a RIC, the Company generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income that it distributes
in a timely manner to its stockholders.
Our common stock is traded on The NASDAQ
Global Select Market under the symbol “KCAP.” The net asset value per share of our common stock at September 30, 2012
was $7.82. On September 30, 2012, the last reported sale price of a share of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market
was $9.26.
KEY QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE FINANCIAL MEASURES AND INDICATORS
Net Asset Value
Our net asset value per share was $7.82
and $7.85 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. As we must report our assets at fair value for each reporting
period, net asset value also represents the amount of stockholder’s equity per share for the reporting period. Our net asset
value is comprised mostly of investment assets less debt and other liabilities. The table below sets forth information relating
to our net asset value and net asset value per share.

Our
balance sheet at fair value and resultant net asset value are calculated on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Our per share presentation of such amounts (other than net asset value
per share) is an internally derived non-GAAP performance measure calculated by dividing the applicable balance sheet amount by
outstanding shares. We believe that the per share amounts for such balance sheet items are helpful in analyzing our balance sheet
both quantitatively and qualitatively in that our shares may trade based on a percentage of net asset value and individual investors
may weight certain balance sheet items differently in performing an analysis of the Company.
Leverage
We use borrowed funds, known as leverage,
to make investments and to attempt to increase returns to our shareholders by reducing our overall cost of capital. As a BDC, we
are limited in the amount of leverage we can incur under the 1940 Act. We are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset
coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% immediately after such borrowing. As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately
$88 million of outstanding borrowings and our asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings was 335%, compliant with
the minimum asset coverage level of 200% generally required for a BDC by the 1940 Act. We may also borrow amounts of up to 5% of
the value of our total assets for temporary purposes.
At December 31, 2010, we had approximately
$87 million of outstanding indebtedness through a secured credit facility. On January 31, 2011, we repaid in full the outstanding
balance under this facility and the facility was terminated. As a result, approximately $73 million of collateral previously securing
the facility was released to us and we also received a $2 million cash settlement from the lenders to settle litigation previously
initiated by us against the lenders. In order to pay off this facility, we utilized proceeds received from the paydown, amortization
or sale of portfolio loan investments totaling approximately $133 million together with available cash.
On March 16, 2011, we issued $55 million
in aggregate principal amount of unsecured 8.75% convertible senior notes due March 15, 2016 (“Convertible Senior Notes”).
On March 23, 2011, pursuant to an over-allotment option, we issued an additional $5 million of such Convertible Senior Notes for
a total of $60 million in aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds for the Convertible Senior Notes, following underwriting
expenses, were approximately $57.7 million. Interest on the Convertible Senior Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on March
15 and September 15, at a rate of 8.75%, commencing September 15, 2011. The Notes mature on March 15, 2016 unless converted earlier.
The Convertible Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.
The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible
into shares of Company’s common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 120.2202 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal
amount of Convertible Senior Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.3181 per share of common
stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including for any cash dividends or distributions
paid on shares of our common stock in excess of a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share, but will not be adjusted for any accrued
and unpaid interest. In addition, if certain corporate events occur prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Senior Notes,
the conversion rate will be increased for converting holders.
On February 24, 2012, we entered into a
Note Purchase Agreement with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (“CS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as
arranger, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, as collateral administrator and collateral agent, and
KCAP Funding, a special-purpose bankruptcy remote wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, under which we may obtain up to $30 million
in financing (the “Facility”). The scheduled maturity date for the Facility is December 20, 2014. Interest on the Facility
is LIBOR + 300 basis points and payable quarterly.
Advances under the Facility are used by
us primarily to make additional investments. The Facility is secured by loans that the Company currently owns and a security interest
in our right to receive certain management fees. Our borrowings under the Facility are effected through KCAP Funding.
As of September 30, 2012, there was an
outstanding balance under the Facility of $28,000,000 and we are in compliance with all its debt covenants. As of September 30,
2012, we had restricted cash balances of approximately $6.1 million which we maintained in accordance with the terms of the Facility.
Subject to prevailing market conditions,
we intend to grow our portfolio of assets by raising additional capital, including through the prudent use of leverage available
to us. As a result, we may seek to enter into new agreements with other lenders or into other financing arrangements as market
conditions permit.
Investment Portfolio Summary Attributes as of and for the

|
Revenue
Revenues consist primarily of investment
income from interest and dividends on our investment portfolio and various ancillary fees related to our investment holdings.
Interest from Investments in Debt Securities
.
We generate interest income from our investments in debt securities which consist primarily of senior and junior secured loans.
Our debt securities portfolio is spread across multiple industries and geographic locations, and as such, we are broadly exposed
to market conditions and business environments. As a result, although our investments are exposed to market risks, we continuously
seek to limit concentration of exposure in any particular sector or issuer.
Dividends from Investments in CLO Fund
Securities
. We generate dividend income from our investments in the securities of CLO Funds (typically preferred shares or
subordinated securities) managed by our Asset Manager Affiliates and selective investments in securities issued by funds managed
by other asset management companies. CLO Funds managed by our Asset Manager Affiliates invest primarily in broadly syndicated non-investment
grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments of corporate issuers. The Company distinguishes CLO Funds managed by
its Asset Manager Affiliates as “CLO Fund securities managed by affiliates.” in its financial statements. The underlying
assets in each of the CLO Funds in which we have an investment are generally diversified secured or unsecured corporate debt. Our
CLO Fund securities that are subordinated securities or preferred shares (“junior securities”) are subordinated to
senior note holders who typically receive a return on their investment at a fixed spread relative to the LIBOR index. The CLO Funds
are leveraged funds and any excess cash flow or “excess spread” (interest earned by the underlying securities in the
fund less payments made to senior bond holders and less fund expenses and management fees) is paid to the holders of the CLO Fund’s
subordinated securities or preferred shares. The level of excess spread from CLO Fund securities can be impacted from the timing
and level of the resetting of the benchmark interest rate for the underlying assets (which reset at various times throughout the
quarter) in the CLO Fund and the related CLO Fund note liabilities (which reset at each quarterly distribution date); in periods
of short-term and volatile changes in the benchmark interest rate, the levels of excess spread and distributions to us can vary
significantly. In addition, the failure of CLO Funds in which we invest to comply with certain financial covenants may lead to
the temporary suspension or deferral of cash distributions to us.
For non-junior class CLO Fund securities,
such as our investment in the class B-2L notes of the Katonah 2007-1 CLO, interest is earned at a fixed spread relative to the
LIBOR index.
Dividends from Asset Manager Affiliates.
We generate dividend income from our investment in our Asset Manager Affiliates, which are wholly-owned and manage CLO Funds that
invest primarily in broadly syndicated non-investment grade loans, high yield bonds and other credit instruments issued by corporations.
As managers of CLO Funds, our Asset Manager Affiliates receive contractual and recurring management fees as well as an expected
one-time structuring fee from the CLO Funds for their management and advisory services. In addition, our Asset Manager Affiliates
may also earn income related to net interest on assets accumulated for future CLO issuances on which they have provided a first
loss guaranty in connection with loan warehouse arrangements for their CLO Funds. Our Asset Manager Affiliates generate annual
operating income equal to the amount by which their fee income exceeds their operating expenses. The annual management fees which
our Asset Manager Affiliates receive are generally based on a fixed percentage of the par value of assets under management and
are recurring in nature for the term of the CLO Fund so long as the Asset Manager Affiliates manage the fund. As a result, the
annual management fees earned by our Asset Manager Affiliates generally are not subject to market value fluctuations in the underlying
collateral. Our Asset Manager Affiliates may receive incentive fees provided such CLO Funds have achieved a minimum investment
return to holders of their subordinated securities or preferred shares.
Capital Structuring Service Fees
.
We may earn ancillary structuring and other fees related to the origination, investment, disposition or liquidation of debt and
investment securities.
Expenses
We are internally managed and directly
incur the cost of management and operations; as a result, we incur no management fees or other fees to an external investment adviser.
Our expenses consist primarily of interest expense on outstanding borrowings, compensation expense and general and administrative
expenses, including professional fees.
Interest and Amortization of Debt Issuance
Costs
. Interest expense is dependent on the average outstanding balance on our borrowings and the base index rate for the period.
Debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These amounts
are capitalized and amortized ratably over the contractual term of the borrowing.
Compensation Expense
. Compensation
expense includes base salaries, bonuses, stock compensation, employee benefits and employer-related payroll costs. The largest
components of total compensation costs are base salaries and bonuses; generally, base salaries are expensed as incurred and annual
bonus expenses are estimated and accrued. Our compensation arrangements with our employees contain a significant profit sharing
and/or performance based bonus component. Therefore, as our net revenues increase, our compensation costs may also rise. In addition,
our compensation expenses may also increase to reflect increased investment in personnel as we grow our products and businesses.
Professional Fees and General and Administrative
Expenses
. The balance of our expenses include professional fees (primarily legal, accounting, valuation and other professional
services), occupancy costs and general administrative and other costs.
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments
During the three months ended September
30, 2012, the Company’s investments had a net increase in unrealized appreciation of approximately $6.0 million. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company’s investments had a net increase in unrealized depreciation of approximately
$1.8 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s investments had a net increase in unrealized
depreciation of approximately $6.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s investments had
a net increase in unrealized appreciation of approximately $11 million.
The net increase in unrealized appreciation
of approximately $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily due to (i) an approximate $900,000 net
increase in the unrealized appreciation of certain loans and equity positions as a result of credit considerations and current
market conditions; (ii) a net increase of approximately $3.8 million in the unrealized appreciation of CLO Fund securities; and
(iii) an approximate increase of $1.3 million in the unrealized depreciation of our Asset Manager Affiliates.
The net increase in unrealized depreciation
of approximately $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily due to (i) an approximate $2.4 million
net increase in the unrealized depreciation of certain loans and equity positions as a result of credit considerations and current
market conditions; (ii) a net increase of approximately $6.4 million in the unrealized appreciation of CLO Fund securities; and
(iii) an approximate increase of $5.7 million in the unrealized depreciation of our Asset Manager Affiliates.
Net Change in Net Assets Resulting From Operations
The net change in net assets resulting
from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was an increase of approximately $9 million and a decrease
of $1 million, respectively, or $0.35 and $0.06 per share, respectively. The net change in net assets resulting from operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was an increase of approximately $12 million and $9 million, respectively,
or $0.45 and $0.39 per share, respectively.
Net Investment Income and Net Realized Gains (Losses)
Net investment income and net realized
gains (losses) represents the net change in net assets resulting from operations before net unrealized appreciation or depreciation
on investments. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, net investment income and net realized gains were approximately
$3 million, or $0.13 per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, net investment income and net realized gains were
approximately $4 million or $0.18 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net investment income and net realized
gains were approximately $13 million, or $0.51 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net investment income and
net realized losses were approximately $2 million or $0.08 per share.
Dividends
For the three months ended September 30,
2012, we declared a $0.24 dividend per share. As a result, there was a dividend distribution of approximately $6.3 million for
the third quarter declaration, which was booked in the fourth quarter. We intend to continue to distribute quarterly dividends
to our stockholders. To avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we currently intend to distribute during each calendar year
an amount at least equal to the sum of:
|
•
|
98% of our ordinary net taxable income for the calendar year;
|
|
•
|
98.2% of our capital gains, if any, in excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar
year; and
|
|
•
|
any net ordinary income and net capital gains for the preceding year that were not distributed during such year.
|
The amount of our declared dividends, as
evaluated by management and approved by our Board of Directors, is based on our evaluation of both distributable income for tax
purposes and GAAP net investment income (which excludes unrealized gains and losses). Generally, we seek to fund our dividends
from GAAP current earnings, primarily from net interest and dividend income generated by our investment portfolio and without a
return of capital or a high reliance on realized capital gains. The following table sets forth the quarterly dividends declared
by us since the most recent completed calendar year, which represent an amount equal to our estimated net investment income for
the specified quarter, including income distributed from the Asset Manager Affiliates received by the Company, if any, plus a portion
of any prior year undistributed amounts of net investment income distributed in subsequent years:

Due to our ownership of our Asset Manager
Affiliates and certain timing, structural and tax considerations, our dividend distributions may include a return of capital for
tax purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our Asset Manager Affiliates had approximately $3.0 million of EBITDA
and made a distribution of $2,950,000 to us. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our Katonah Debt Advisors earned approximately
$1 million of pre-tax net income and made no distributions to us. We did not acquire Trimaran Advisors until February 2012. Dividends
are recorded as declared (where declaration date represents ex-dividend date) by our Asset Manager Affiliates as income on our
statement of operations. It is anticipated that our Asset Manager Affiliates may make further dividend distributions to us during
2012.
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
Investment Objective
Our investment objective is to generate current
income and capital appreciation from the investments made by our middle market business in senior secured term loans, mezzanine
debt and selected equity investments in privately-held middle market companies. The Company also expects to receive distributions
of recurring fee income and to generate capital appreciation from its investments in the asset management businesses of the Asset
Manager Affiliates. We intend to grow our portfolio of assets by raising additional capital, including through the prudent use
of leverage available to us. We primarily invest in first and second lien term loans which, because of their priority in a company’s
capital structure, we expect will have lower default rates and higher rates of recovery of principal if there is a default and
which we expect will create a stable stream of interest income. While our primary investment focus is on making loans to, and selected
equity investments in, privately-held middle market companies, we may also invest in other investments such as loans to larger,
publicly-traded companies, high-yield bonds and distressed debt securities. We may also receive warrants or options to purchase
common stock in connection with our debt investments. In addition, we may also invest in debt and equity securities issued by CLO
Funds managed by our Asset Manager Affiliates or by other asset managers.

Investment Securities
We invest in senior secured loans, mezzanine
debt and, to a lesser extent, equity of middle market companies in a variety of industries. However, we may invest in other industries
if we are presented with attractive opportunities. We generally target companies that generate positive cash flows because we look
to cash flows as the primary source for servicing debt.
We employ a disciplined approach in the selection
and monitoring of our investments. Generally, we target investments that will provide a current return through interest income
to provide for stability in our net income and place less reliance on realized capital gains from our investments. Our investment
philosophy is focused on preserving capital with an appropriate return profile relative to risk. Our investment due diligence and
selection generally focuses on an underlying issuer’s net cash flow after capital expenditures to service its debt rather
than on multiples of net income, valuations or other broad benchmarks which frequently miss the nuances of an issuer’s business
and prospective financial performance. We also generally avoid concentrations in any one industry or issuer. We manage risk through
a rigorous credit and investment underwriting process and an active portfolio monitoring program.
Our Board of Directors is ultimately and
solely responsible for making a good faith determination of the fair value of portfolio investments on a quarterly basis. Debt
and equity securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at such market quotations. Debt and
equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market price is not readily available are valued by the Board of Directors
based on detailed analyses prepared by management, the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors, and, in certain circumstances,
third parties with valuation expertise. Valuations are conducted by management on 100% of the investment portfolio at the end of
each quarter. 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 differ materially from the values that would have existed had a ready market
existed for such investments. Further, such investments may be generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise
less liquid than publicly traded securities. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events may occur over the
life of the investments that may cause the value realized on such investments to be different from the currently assigned valuations.
We derive fair value for our illiquid investments
that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using a present value technique that discounts the
estimated contractual cash flows for the underlying assets with discount rates imputed by broad market indices, bond spreads and
yields for comparable issuers relative to the subject assets (the “Market Yield Approach”) and also consider recent
loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset. Discount rates applied to estimated contractual cash flows for
an underlying asset vary by specific investment, industry, priority and nature of the debt security (such as the seniority or security
interest of the debt security) and are assessed relative to two indices, a leveraged loan index and a high-yield bond index, at
the valuation date. We have identified these two indices as benchmarks for broad market information related to our loan and debt
investments. Because we have not identified any market index that directly correlates to the loan and debt investments held by
us and therefore use the two benchmark indices, these market indices may require significant adjustment to better correlate such
market data for the calculation of fair value of the investment under the Market Yield Approach. Such adjustments require judgment
and may be material to the calculation of fair value. Further adjustments to the discount rate may be applied to reflect other
market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. When broad market indices are used as part of the valuation methodology,
their use is subject to adjustment for many factors, including priority, collateral used as security, structure, performance and
other quantitative and qualitative attributes of the asset being valued. The resulting present value determination is then weighted
along with any quotes from observable transactions and broker/pricing quotes. If such quotes are indicative of actual transactions
with reasonable trading volume at or near the valuation date that are not liquidation or distressed sales, relatively more reliance
will be put on such quotes to determine fair value. If such quotes are not indicative of market transactions or are insufficient
as to volume, reliability, consistency or other relevant factors, such quotes will be compared with other fair value indications
and given relatively less weight based on their relevancy. The appropriateness of specific valuation methods and techniques may
change as market conditions and available data change.
The majority of our investment portfolio
is composed of debt and equity securities with unique contract terms and conditions and/or complexity that requires a valuation
of each individual investment that considers multiple levels of market and asset specific inputs, including historical and forecasted
financial and operational performance of the individual investment, projected cash flows, market multiples, comparable market transactions,
the priority of the security compared with those of other securities for such issuers, credit risk, interest rates and independent
valuations and reviews.
Loans and Debt Securities.
To the extent that our investments are exchange
traded and are priced or have sufficient price indications from normal course trading at or around the valuation date (financial
reporting date), such pricing will determine fair value. Pricing service marks from third party pricing services may be used as
an indication of fair value, depending on the volume and reliability of the marks, sufficient and reasonable correlation of bid
and ask quotes, and, most importantly, the level of actual trading activity. However, most of our investments are illiquid investments
with little or no trading activity. Further, we have been unable to identify directly comparable market indices or other market
guidance that correlate directly to the types of investments we own. As a result, for most of our assets, we determine fair value
using alternative methodologies and models using available market data, as adjusted, to reflect the types of assets we own, their
structure, qualitative and credit attributes and other asset specific characteristics.
We derive fair value for our illiquid investments
that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using the Market Yield Approach and also consider
recent loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset. Discount rates applied to estimated contractual cash flows
for an underlying asset vary by specific investment, industry, priority and nature of the debt security (such as the seniority
or security interest of the debt security) and are assessed relative to two indices, a leveraged loan index and a high-yield bond
index, at the valuation date. We have identified these two indices as benchmarks for broad market information related to our loan
and debt investments. Because we have not identified any market index that directly correlates to the loan and debt investments
held by us and therefore use the two benchmark indices, these market indices may require significant adjustment to better correlate
such market data for the calculation of fair value of the investment under the Market Yield Approach. Such adjustments require
judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value. Further adjustments to the discount rate may be applied to reflect
other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. When broad market indices are used as part of the valuation
methodology, their use is subject to adjustment for many factors, including priority, collateral used as security, structure, performance
and other quantitative and qualitative attributes of the asset being valued. The resulting present value determination is then
weighted along with any quotes from observable transactions and broker/pricing quotes. If such quotes are indicative of actual
transactions with reasonable trading volume at or near the valuation date that are not liquidation or distressed sales, relatively
more reliance will be put on such quotes to determine fair value. If such quotes are not indicative of market transactions or are
insufficient as to volume, reliability, consistency or other relevant factors, such quotes will be compared with other fair value
indications and given relatively less weight based on their relevancy.
Equity and Equity-Related Securities.
Our equity and equity-related securities
in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are carried at fair value based on the enterprise value of the
portfolio company, which is determined using various factors, including EBITDA, cash flows from operations less capital expenditures
and other pertinent factors, such as recent offers to purchase a portfolio company’s securities or other liquidation events.
The determined fair values are generally discounted to account for restrictions on resale and minority ownership positions. The
values of our equity and equity-related securities in public companies for which market quotations are readily available are based
upon the closing public market price on the balance sheet date. Securities that carry certain restrictions on sale are typically
valued at a discount from the public market value of the security.
The significant inputs used to determine
the fair value of equity and equity-related securities include prices, earnings, EBITDA and cash flows after capital expenditures
for similar peer comparables and the investment entity itself. Equity and equity-related securities are classified as Level III
as described in—“Critical Accounting Policies—Valuation of Portfolio Investments” below), when there is
limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation given the lack of information related to such equity investments
held in nonpublic companies. Significant assumptions observed for comparable companies as applied to relevant financial data for
the specific investment. Such assumptions, such as model discount rates or price/earnings multiples, vary by the specific investment,
equity position and industry and incorporate adjustments for risk premiums, liquidity and company specific attributes. Such adjustments
require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value.
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011,
our investments in income producing loans and debt securities, excluding CLO Fund securities, had a weighted average interest rate
of approximately 8.1% and 8.4%, respectively.
The investment portfolio (excluding the
Company’s investments in its Asset Manager Affiliates and CLO Funds) at September 30, 2012 was spread across 24 different
industries and 53 different entities with an average balance per entity of approximately $3 million. As of September 30, 2012,
all but five of our portfolio companies (representing less than 1% of total investments at fair value) were current on their debt
service obligations. Our portfolio, including the CLO Funds in which it invests, and the CLO Funds managed by our Asset Manager
Affiliates consist almost exclusively of credit instruments issued by corporations.
We may invest up to 30% of our investment
portfolio in opportunistic investments in high-yield bonds, debt and equity securities of CLO Funds, distressed debt or equity
securities of public companies. At September 30, 2012, approximately 23% of our total assets were foreign assets (including our
investments in CLO Funds, which are typically domiciled outside the U.S.).
At September 30, 2012, our ten largest
portfolio companies represented approximately 56% of the total fair value of our investments. Our largest investment is comprised
of our wholly-owned Asset Manager Affiliates and represented 26% of the total fair value of our investments. Excluding our Asset
Manager Affiliates and CLO Fund securities, our ten largest portfolio companies represent approximately 20% of the total fair value
of our investments.
CLO Fund Securities
We typically make a minority investment
in the subordinated securities or preferred stock of CLO Funds raised and managed by our Asset Manager Affiliates and may selectively
invest in securities issued by CLO Funds managed by other asset management companies. As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately
$68 million invested in CLO Fund securities, including those issued by funds managed by our Asset Manager Affiliates.
The CLO Funds managed by our Asset Manager
Affiliates invest primarily in broadly syndicated non-investment grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments of
corporate issuers. The underlying assets in each of the CLO Funds in which we have an investment are generally diversified secured
or unsecured corporate debt.
Our CLO Fund investments as of September
30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

¹ Represents percentage of class held.
² An affiliate CLO Fund managed by an Asset Manager Affiliate.
³ As of September 30, 2012, this CLO Fund security was
not providing a dividend distribution.
Our investments in CLO Fund securities are
carried at fair value, which is based either on (i) the present value of the net expected cash inflows for interest income
and principal repayments from underlying assets and cash outflows for interest expense, debt paydown and other fund costs for the
CLO Funds that are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period and therefore are selling assets and/or using principal
repayments to pay down CLO Fund debt (or will begin to do so shortly), and for which there continue to be net cash distributions
to the class of securities owned by us, or (ii) a discounted cash flow model that utilizes prepayment and loss assumptions based
on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow and comparable
yields for similar securities or preferred shares to those in which we have invested. We recognize unrealized appreciation or depreciation
on our investments in CLO Fund securities as comparable yields in the market change and/or based on changes in net asset values
or estimated cash flows resulting from changes in prepayment or loss assumptions in the underlying collateral pool. As each investment
in CLO Fund securities ages, the expected amount of losses and the expected timing of recognition of such losses in the underlying
collateral pool are updated and the revised cash flows are used in determining the fair value of the CLO Fund investments. We determine
the fair value of our investments in CLO Fund securities on a security-by-security basis.
Due to the individual attributes of each
CLO Fund security, they are classified as a Level III (as described in—“Critical Accounting Policies—Valuation
of Portfolio Investments” below) investment unless specific trading activity can be identified at or near the valuation date.
When available, Level II (as described in “—Critical Accounting Policies—Valuation of Portfolio Investments”
below) market information will be identified, evaluated and weighted accordingly in the application of such data to the present
value models and fair value determination. Significant assumptions to the present value calculations include default rates, recovery
rates, prepayment rates, investment/reinvestment rates and spreads and the discount rate by which to value the resulting underlying
cash flows. Such assumptions can vary significantly, depending on market data sources which often vary in depth and level of analysis,
understanding of the CLO market, detailed or broad characterizations of the CLO market and the application of such data to an appropriate
framework for analysis. The application of data points are based on the specific attributes of each individual CLO Fund security’s
underlying assets, historic, current and prospective performance, vintage, and other quantitative and qualitative factors that
would be evaluated by market participants. We evaluate the source of market data for reliability as an indicative market input,
consistency amongst other inputs and results and also the context in which such data is presented.
For rated note tranches of CLO Fund securities
(those above the junior class) without transactions to support a fair value for the specific CLO Fund and tranche, fair value is
based on discounting estimated bond payments at current market yields, which may reflect the adjusted yield on the leveraged loan
index for similarly rated tranches, as well as prices for similar tranches for other CLO Funds, and also considers other factors
such as the default and recovery rates of underlying assets in the CLO Fund, as may be applicable. Such model assumptions may vary
and incorporate adjustments for risk premiums and CLO Fund specific attributes. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material
to the calculation of fair value.

¹ All data from most recent Trustee reports as of September
30, 2012.
² Managed by non-affiliates as of September 30, 2012.
In May 2009, we purchased the class B-2L
notes of the Katonah 2007-1 CLO investment managed by Katonah Debt Advisors (“Katonah 2007-1 B-2L”). We purchased Katonah
2007-1 B-2L for 10% of the par value. The fair value, cost basis, and aggregate unrealized appreciation of the Katonah 2007-1 B-2L
investment as of September 30, 2012 were approximately $8.7 million, $1.2 million, and $7.5 million, respectively, and at December
31, 2011, the fair value, cost basis, and aggregate unrealized appreciation of the Katonah 2007-1 B-2L investment were $6.7 million,
$1.2 million, and $5.5 million, respectively. Both the B-2L notes and preferred shares of Katonah 2007-1 are owned 100% by us and
Katonah 2007-1 is current in the payment of all quarterly distributions in respect of the B-2L notes and the preferred shares.
All CLO Funds managed by Asset Manager Affiliates
are currently making quarterly dividend distributions to us and are paying all senior and subordinate management fees to our Asset
Manager Affiliates. With the exception of the Katonah III, Ltd. CLO Fund and the Katonah V, Ltd. CLO Fund, all third-party managed
CLO Funds held as investments are making quarterly dividend distributions to us.
Asset Manager Affiliates
Our Asset Manager Affiliates are our wholly-owned
asset management companies that manage CLO Funds that invest in broadly syndicated loans, high yield bonds and other credit instruments.
The CLO Funds managed by our Asset Manager Affiliates consist exclusively of credit instruments issued by corporations. As of September
30, 2012, our Asset Manager Affiliates had approximately $3.3 billion of par value of assets under management on which they earn
management fees, and were valued at approximately $74 million.
As a manager of the CLO Funds, our Asset
Manager Affiliates receive contractual and recurring management fees as well as an expected one-time structuring fee from the CLO
Funds for its management and advisory services. In addition, our Asset Manager Affiliates may also earn income related to net interest
on assets accumulated for future CLO issuances on which it has provided a first loss guaranty in connection with loan warehouse
arrangements for its CLO Funds. Our Asset Manager Affiliates generate annual operating income equal to the amount by which its
fee income exceeds its operating expenses.
The annual management fees which our Asset
Manager Affiliates receive are generally based on a fixed percentage of the par value of assets under management and are recurring
in nature for the term of the CLO Fund so long as the Asset Manager Affiliates manage the fund. As a result, the annual management
fees earned by our Asset Manager Affiliates are not subject to market value fluctuations in the underlying collateral. The annual
management fees our Asset Manager Affiliates receive have two components: a senior management fee and a subordinated management
fee. Currently, all CLO Funds managed by Asset Manager Affiliates are paying both their senior and subordinated management fees
on a current basis.
Our Asset Manager Affiliates may receive
incentive fees from CLO Funds they manage provided such CLO Funds have achieved a minimum investment return to holders of their
subordinated securities or preferred shares.
Subject to market conditions, we expect to
continue to make investments in CLO Funds managed by our Asset Manager Affiliates, which we believe will provide us with a current
cash investment return. We believe that these investments will provide our Asset Manager Affiliates with greater opportunities
to access new sources of capital which will ultimately increase our Asset Manager Affiliates’ assets under management and
resulting management fee income.
The revenue that our Asset Manager Affiliates
generate through the fees they receive for managing CLO Funds and after paying the expenses pursuant to an overhead allocation
agreement with the Company associated with its operations, including compensation of its employees, may be distributed to us. Cash
distributions of our Asset Manager Affiliates’ net income are recorded as “dividends from an affiliate asset managers”
in our financial statements when declared. As with all other investments, the fair value for Asset Manager Affiliates is determined
quarterly. Our investment in our Asset Manager Affiliates is carried at fair value, which is determined after taking into consideration
a percentage of assets under management and a discounted cash flow model incorporating different levels of discount rates depending
on the hierarchy of fees earned (including the likelihood of realization of senior, subordinate and incentive fees) and prospective
modeled performance. Such valuation includes an analysis of comparable asset management companies. The Asset Manager Affiliates
are classified as a Level III investment as described in—“Critical Accounting Policies—Valuation of Portfolio
Investments” below). Any change in value from period to period is recognized as net change in unrealized appreciation or
depreciation.

The level of investment activity for investments
funded and principal repayments for our investments can vary substantially from period to period depending on the number and size
of investments that we invest in or divest of, and many other factors, including the amount and competition for the debt and equity
securities available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies and the general
economic environment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The principal measure of our financial performance
is the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations which includes net investment income (loss) and
net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Net investment income (loss) is the difference between our income from
interest, dividends, fees, and other investment income and our operating expenses. Net realized gain (loss) on investments,
is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost. Net change
in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.
Set forth below is a discussion of our
results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Investment Income
Investment income is primarily dependent
on the composition and credit quality of our investment portfolio. Generally, our debt securities portfolio is expected to generate
predictable, recurring interest income in accordance with the contractual terms of each loan. Corporate equity securities may pay
a dividend and may increase in value for which a gain may be recognized; generally such dividend payments and gains are less predictable
than interest income on our loan portfolio.
Dividends from CLO Fund securities are
dependent on the performance of the underlying assets in each CLO Fund; interest payments, principal amortization and prepayments
of the underlying loans in each CLO Fund are primary factors which determine the level of income on our CLO Fund securities. The
level of excess spread from CLO Fund securities can be impacted by the timing and level of the resetting of the benchmark interest
rate for the underlying assets (which reset at various times throughout the quarter) in the CLO Fund and the related CLO Fund note
liabilities (which reset at each quarterly distribution date); in periods of short-term and volatile changes in the benchmark interest
rate, the levels of excess spread and distributions to us can vary significantly.
Investment income for the three months
ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $10 million and $7 million, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $4
million and $3 million was attributable to interest income on our loan and bond investments, respectively. For the three months
ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, approximately $6 million and $4 million of investment income is attributable to dividends earned
on CLO equity investments, respectively.
Investment income for the nine months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $27 million and $21 million, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $9 million
and $7 million was attributable to interest income on our loan and bond investments, respectively. For the nine months ended September
30, 2012 and 2011, approximately $15 million and $11 million of investment income is attributable to dividends earned on CLO equity
investments, respectively.
The increase in our interest income for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily
attributable to a higher average level of outstanding debt securities.
The increase in investment income from
CLO Fund securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 2011 was largely attributable to our acquisition of equity interests in CLO Funds managed by Trimaran Advisors in connection
with our acquisition of Trimaran Advisors in February 2012.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2011, we received a $2 million cash settlement to settle litigation previously initiated by us against the lenders related
to our secured credit facility which we fully repaid on January 31, 2011. Upon receipt, this settlement was recognized as other
income during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Dividends from Asset Manager Affiliates
Distributions of net income from our Asset
Manager Affiliates are recorded as “dividends from affiliate asset managers” in our financial statements. The Company
intends to distribute to its shareholders the accumulated undistributed net income of the Asset Manager Affiliates in the future.
For purposes of calculating distributable tax income for required quarterly dividends as a RIC, the Asset Manager Affiliates’
net income is further reduced by approximately $5.5 million per annum for tax goodwill amortization resulting from the acquisition
of Katonah Debt Advisors by us prior to our initial public offering and our recent acquisition of Trimaran Advisors. As a result,
the amount of our declared dividends, as evaluated by management and approved by our Board of Directors, is based on our evaluation
of both distributable income for tax purposes and GAAP net investment income (which excludes unrealized gains and losses).
As of September 30, 2012, our investment
in the Asset Manager Affiliates was valued at approximately $74 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011,
our Asset Manager Affiliates had EBITDA of approximately $2 million and $570,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September
30, 2012 and 2011, our Asset Manager Affiliates had pre-tax net income before net capital losses of approximately $2.9 million
and $1 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our Asset Manager Affiliates made distributions
of net income of $925,000 and $510,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our Asset Manager
Affiliates made distributions of net income of $2,950,000 and $1,160,000, respectively. The distributions from our Asset Manager
Affiliates in 2012 represent a portion of the expected net income for our Asset Manager Affiliates for the year ending December
31, 2012.
The increase in distributions from our
Asset Manager Affiliates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2011 was largely attributable to our acquisition of Trimaran Advisors in February 2012.
Expenses
Total expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $3 million and $3 million, respectively. Interest expense and amortization on debt
issuance costs for the period, which includes facility and program fees on the unused loan balance, were approximately $2 million
and $1 million, respectively, on average debt outstanding of $86 million and $60 million, respectively. Approximately $385,000
and $985,000, respectively, of expenses were attributable to employment compensation, including salaries, bonuses and stock option
expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, other expenses included
approximately $1 million for professional fees, insurance, administrative and other. For the three months ended September 30, 2011,
other expenses included approximately $797,000 for professional fees, insurance, administrative and other. For the three months
ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, administrative and other costs (including occupancy expense, insurance, technology and other
office expenses) totaled approximately $305,000 and $221,000, respectively.
Total expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $10 million and $9 million, respectively. Interest expense and amortization on debt
issuance costs for the period, which includes facility and program fees on the unused loan balance, were approximately $5 million
and $3 million, respectively, on average debt outstanding of $74 million and $52 million, respectively. Approximately $2 million
and $3 million, respectively, of expenses were attributable to employment compensation, including salaries, bonuses and stock option
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, other expenses included
approximately $3 million for professional fees, insurance, administrative and other. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011,
other expenses included approximately $3 million for professional fees, insurance, administrative and other. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, administrative and other costs (including occupancy expense, insurance, technology and other
office expenses) totaled approximately $1 million and $751,000, respectively.
Interest and compensation expense are generally
expected to be our largest expenses each period. Interest expense is dependent on the average outstanding principal balance on
our borrowings and the related interest rate for the period. Compensation expense includes base salaries, bonuses, stock compensation,
employee benefits and employer related payroll costs. The largest components of total compensation costs are base salaries and
bonuses; generally, base salaries are expensed as incurred and bonus expenses are estimated and accrued since bonuses are generally
paid annually.
Professional fee expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2012 are higher by approximately $360,000 relative to the same prior year period primarily due to an increase
in professional fees related to additional legal, accounting, and valuation costs connected to our acquisition of Trimaran Advisors.
Net Unrealized (Depreciation) Appreciation on Investments
During the three months ended September
30, 2012, our total investments had a increase in net unrealized appreciation of approximately $6.0 million. During the three months
ended September 30, 2011, our total investments had an increase in net unrealized depreciation of approximately $5.7 million. For
the three months ended September 30, 2012, our Asset Manager Affiliates had an increase in net unrealized appreciation of approximately
$1.3 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our Asset Manager Affiliates had an increase in net unrealized appreciation
of approximately $470,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our middle market portfolio of debt securities, equity
securities, and CLO Fund securities had a net increase in unrealized appreciation due to fair value adjustments of approximately
$4.7 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our middle market portfolio of debt securities, equity securities,
and CLO Fund securities had a net increase in unrealized depreciation due to fair value adjustments of approximately $6.1 million.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2012, our total investments had an increase in net unrealized depreciation of approximately $1.7 million. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2011, our total investments had an increase in net unrealized appreciation of approximately $10.9 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our Asset Manager Affiliates had an increase in net unrealized depreciation of approximately
$5.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our Asset Manager Affiliates had an increase in net unrealized appreciation
of approximately $1.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our middle market portfolio of debt securities, equity
securities, and CLO Fund securities had a net increase in unrealized appreciation due to fair value adjustments of approximately
$4.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our middle market portfolio of debt securities, equity securities,
and CLO Fund securities had a net increase in unrealized appreciation due to fair value adjustments of approximately $9.6 million.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting From Operations
For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2012 the net change in net assets resulting from operations was an approximate increase of $9 million and $12 million, or $0.35
and $0.45 per share, respectively. The net change in net assets resulting from operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2011 was an approximate decrease of $1 million, or $0.06 per share, and an approximate increase of $9 million, or $0.39 per
share, respectively.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to
meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain investments, pay dividends
to our stockholders and other general business needs. We recognize the need to have funds available for operating our business
and to make investments. We seek to have adequate liquidity at all times to cover normal cyclical swings in funding availability
and to allow us to meet abnormal and unexpected funding requirements. We plan to satisfy our liquidity needs through normal operations
with the goal of avoiding unplanned sales of assets or emergency borrowing of funds.
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31,
2011 the fair value of investments and cash were as follows:

We use borrowed funds, known as “leverage,”
to make investments and to attempt to increase returns to our shareholders by reducing our overall cost of capital. As a BDC, we
are limited in the amount of leverage we can incur under the 1940 Act. We are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset
coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% immediately after such borrowing. As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately
$88 million of outstanding borrowings and our asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings was 335%, compliant with
the minimum asset coverage level of 200% generally required for a BDC by the 1940 Act. We may also borrow amounts of up to 5% of
the value of our total assets for temporary purposes.
At December 31, 2010, we had approximately
$87 million of outstanding indebtedness through a secured credit facility. On January 31, 2011, we repaid in full the outstanding
balance under this facility and terminated this facility. On March 16, 2011, we issued $55 million in aggregate principal amount
of unsecured 8.75% convertible senior notes due March 15, 2016 (“Convertible Senior Notes”). On March 23, 2011, pursuant
to an over-allotment option, we issued an additional $5 million of such Convertible Senior Notes for a total of $60 million in
aggregate principal amount.
On February 24, 2012, we entered into a
Note Purchase Agreement with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (“CS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as
arranger, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, as collateral administrator and collateral agent, and
KCAP Funding, a special-purpose bankruptcy remote wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, under which we may obtain up to $30 million
in financing (the “Facility”). The scheduled maturity date for the Facility is December 20, 2014. Interest on the Facility
is LIBOR + 300 basis points and payable quarterly.
Advances under the Facility are used by
us primarily to make additional investments. The Facility is secured by loans that it currently owns and a security interest in
our right to receive certain management fees. Our borrowings under the Facility are effected through KCAP Funding.
As of September 30, 2012, there was an
outstanding balance of $28,000,000 under the Facility and we are in compliance with all its debt covenants. As of September 30,
2012, we had restricted cash balances of approximately $6.1 million which we maintained in accordance with the terms of the Facility.
As of September 30, 2012, we had total
outstanding indebtedness of approximately $88 million. As of September 30, 2012, we had cash, time deposits, and money market accounts
of approximately $5 million which will fund future investments and operational needs.
Subject to prevailing market conditions,
we intend to grow our portfolio of assets by raising additional capital, including through the prudent use of leverage available
to us. As a result, we may seek to enter into new agreements with other lenders or into other financing arrangements as market
conditions permit. Such financing arrangements may include a new secured and/or unsecured credit facility, the issuance of preferred
securities or debt guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.
If our common stock trades below our net
asset value per share, we will generally not be able to issue additional common stock at the market price unless our shareholders
approve such a sale and our Board of Directors makes certain determinations. A proposal, approved by our shareholders at our June
2012 annual meeting of stockholders, authorizes us to sell shares of our common stock below the then current net asset value per
share of our common stock in one or more offerings for the period ending on the earlier of (i) June 15, 2013, the one year anniversary
of our 2012 annual meeting of shareholders, or (ii) the date of our 2013 annual meeting of shareholders. We would need similar
future approval from our shareholders to issue shares below the then current net asset value per share any time after the expiration
of the current approval.
COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We are a party to financial instruments
with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the needs of our investment in portfolio companies.
Such instruments include commitments to extend credit and may involve, in varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of
amounts recognized on our balance sheet. Prior to extending such credit, we attempt to limit our credit risk by conducting extensive
due diligence, obtaining collateral where necessary and negotiating appropriate financial covenants. As of September 30, 2012 and
December 31, 2011, we had committed to make a total of approximately $0 and $2 million, respectively, of investments.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are based on the
selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions.
Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations
and require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies are those applicable
to the basis of presentation, valuation of investments, and certain revenue recognition matters as discussed below.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements
have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements
and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the Commission.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
The most significant estimate inherent in
the preparation of our financial statements is the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation
and depreciation of investments recorded.
Value, as defined in Section 2(a)(41)
of 1940 Act, is (1) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available and (2) for
all other securities and assets, fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors pursuant to procedures approved
by our Board of Directors. Our valuation policy is intended to provide a consistent basis for determining the fair value of the
portfolio based on the nature of the security, the market for the security and other considerations including the financial performance
and enterprise value of the portfolio company. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the Board of Directors’
determined values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments,
and the differences could be material.
We are, for GAAP purposes, an investment
company under the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies. As a result, we reflect our investments on our balance
sheet at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected as a component
of unrealized gains or losses on our statements of operations. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell the investments
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). Additionally, we do not consolidate
majority or wholly-owned and controlled investments.
Effective January 1, 2008 we adopted
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments
carried at fair value. See Note 4 to the financial statements for the additional information about the level of market observability
associated with investments carried at fair value.
We have valued our investments, in the absence
of observable market prices, using the valuation methodologies described below applied on a consistent basis. For some investments
little market activity may exist; management’s determination of fair value is then based on the best information available
in the circumstances, and may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involves a significant degree of management’s
judgment.
Our investments in CLO Fund securities
are carried at fair value, which is based either on (i) the present value of the net expected cash inflows for interest income
and principal repayments from underlying assets and the cash outflows for interest expense, debt paydown and other fund costs for
the CLO Funds which are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period and therefore begin to sell assets and/or use
principal repayments to pay-down CLO Fund debt, and for which there continue to be net cash distributions to the class of we securities
own, or (ii) a discounted cash flow model that utilizes prepayment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and
projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow and comparable yields for similar securities
or preferred shares to those in which the Company has invested. We recognize unrealized appreciation or depreciation on our investments
in CLO Fund securities as comparable yields in the market change and/or based on changes in net asset values or estimated cash
flows resulting from changes in prepayment or loss assumptions in the underlying collateral pool. As each investment in CLO Fund
securities ages, the expected amount of losses and the expected timing of recognition of such losses in the underlying collateral
pool are updated and the revised cash flows are used in determining the fair value of the CLO Investment. We determine the fair
value of our investments in CLO Fund securities on a security-by-security basis.
Our investment in our Asset Manager Affiliates
is carried at fair value, which is determined after taking into consideration a percentage of assets under management and a discounted
cash flow model incorporating different levels of discount rates depending on the hierarchy of fees earned (including the likelihood
of realization of senior, subordinate and incentive fees) and prospective modeled performance. Such valuation includes an analysis
of comparable asset management companies. Our investment in our Asset Manager Affiliates is classified as a Level III investment
(as described below). Any change in value from period to period is recognized as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
Fair values of other investments for which
market prices are not observable are determined by reference to public market or private transactions or valuations for comparable
companies or assets in the relevant asset class and or industry when such amounts are available. Generally these valuations are
derived by multiplying a key performance metric of the investee company or asset (e.g., EBITDA) by the relevant valuation multiple
observed for comparable companies or transactions, adjusted by management for differences between the investment and the referenced
comparable. Such investments may also be valued at cost for a period of time after an acquisition as the best indicator of fair
value. If the fair value of such investments cannot be valued by reference to observable valuation measures for comparable companies,
then the primary analytical method used to estimate the fair value is a discounted cash flow method and/or cap rate analysis. A
sensitivity analysis is applied to the estimated future cash flows using various factors depending on the investment, including
assumed growth rates (in cash flows), capitalization rates (for determining terminal values) and appropriate discount rates to
determine a range of reasonable values or to compute projected return on investment.
We derive fair value for our illiquid loan
investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using the Market Yield Approach, and
also consider recent loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset as described above. Other significant assumptions,
such as coupon and maturity, are asset-specific and are noted for each investment in the Schedules of Investments. Our Board of
Directors may consider other methods of valuation to determine the fair value of investments as appropriate in conformity with
GAAP.
The determination of fair value using this
methodology takes into consideration a range of factors, including but not limited to the price at which the investment was acquired,
the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and
projected operating performance and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. This valuation methodology
involves a significant degree of management’s judgment.
After our adoption of
Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures,
investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
|
•
|
Level I – Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.
The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed securities. As required by
Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures
, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds
a large position and a sale could reasonably affect the quoted price.
|
|
•
|
Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable
as of the reporting date. Such inputs may be quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted markets that are not active,
or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full character of the
financial instrument, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market information. Investments
which are generally included in this category include illiquid corporate loans and bonds and less liquid, privately held or restricted
equity securities for which some level of recent trading activity has been observed.
|
|
•
|
Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any,
market activity for the investment. The inputs may be based on the Company’s own assumptions about how market participants
would price the asset or liability or may use Level II inputs, as adjusted, to reflect specific investment attributes relative
to a broader market assumption. These inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or
estimation. Even if observable market data for comparable performance or valuation measures (earnings multiples, discount rates,
other financial/valuation ratios, etc.) are available, such investments are grouped as Level III if any significant data point
that is not also market observable (private company earnings, cash flows, etc.) is used in the valuation methodology.
|
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure
fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair
value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and it considers factors specific
to the investment. Substantially all of our investments are classified as Level III.
Our Board of Directors may consider other
methods of valuation to determine the fair value of investments as appropriate in conformity with GAAP.
Interest Income
Interest income, adjusted for amortization
of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected.
We generally place a loan on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on such loan or security when a loan or security
becomes 90 days or more past due or if we otherwise do not expect the debtor to be able to service its debt obligations. Non-accrual
loans remain in such status until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due or such loans
become current. As of September 30, 2012, five issuers representing less than 1% of our total investments at fair value were on
non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2011, three issuers representing less than 1% of our total investments at fair value were
on non-accrual status.
Dividend Income from CLO Fund Securities
We generate dividend income from our investments
in the most junior class of securities of CLO Funds (typically preferred shares or subordinated securities) managed by the Asset
Manager Affiliates and selective investments in securities issued by funds managed by other asset management companies using the
effective interest method based on anticipated yield and estimated cash flows as updated quarterly for changes in prepayments,
re-investment, credit losses and other items that may impact distributions. Our CLO Fund junior class securities are subordinated
to senior note holders who typically receive a return on their investment at a fixed spread relative to the LIBOR index. The CLO
Funds are leveraged funds and any excess cash flow or “excess spread” (interest earned by the underlying securities
in the fund less payments made to senior note holders and less fund expenses and management fees) is paid to the holders of the
CLO Fund’s subordinated securities or preferred shares. The level of excess spread from CLO Fund securities can be impacted
from the timing and level of the resetting of the benchmark interest rate for the underlying assets (which reset at various times
throughout the quarter) in the CLO Fund and the related CLO Fund note liabilities (which reset at each quarterly distribution date);
in periods of short-term and volatile changes in the benchmark interest rate, the levels of excess spread and distributions to
us can vary significantly. In addition, the failure of CLO Funds in which we invest to comply with certain financial covenants
may lead to the temporary suspension or deferral of cash distributions to us. We make estimated interim accruals of such dividend
income based on recent historical distributions and CLO Fund performance and adjust such accruals on a quarterly basis to reflect
actual distributions.
For non-junior class CLO Fund securities,
such as our investment in the class B-2L notes of Katonah 2007-1 CLO, interest is earned at a fixed spread relative to the LIBOR
index.
Dividends from Asset Manager Affiliates
We record dividend income from our Asset
Manager Affiliates on the declaration date, which represents the ex-dividend date.
Payment in Kind Interest
We may have loans in our portfolio that contain
a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement,
is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. To maintain our RIC status, this non-cash source
of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though we have not yet collected the cash.
Fee Income
Fee income includes fees, if any, for due
diligence, structuring, commitment and facility fees, and fees, if any, for transaction services and management services rendered
by us to portfolio companies and other third parties. Commitment and facility fees are generally recognized as income over the
life of the underlying loan, whereas due diligence, structuring, transaction service and management service fees are generally
recognized as income when the services are rendered.
Management Compensation
We may, from time to time, issue stock
options or restricted stock under our equity compensation plan to officers and employees for services rendered to us. We follow
Compensation – Stock Compensation
, a method by which the fair value of options or restricted stock is determined and
expensed. We use a Binary Option Pricing Model (American, call option) as its valuation model to establish the expected value of
all stock option grants.
We are internally managed and therefore do
not incur management fees payable to third parties.
United States Federal Income Taxes
The Company has elected and intends to continue
to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs under Subchapter M of the Code and, among other things, intends to make the
required distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to qualify as a RIC, the Company is required to timely
distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Depending
on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions
into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, to the extent required.
Dividends
Dividends and distributions to common stockholders
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter
and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management for the period and year.
We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan
that provides for reinvestment of our distributions on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder “opts out”
of the plan to receive cash in lieu of having their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common
stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Improved Disclosures Regarding Fair Value
Measurements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06,
Fair
Value Measurements and Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820),
which provides for improving disclosures
about fair value measurements, primarily significant transfers in and out of Levels I and II, and activity in Level III fair value
measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for the interim and annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2009, while the disclosures about the purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in
the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010
and for the interim periods within those fiscal years. Except for certain detailed Level III disclosures, which are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those years, the new guidance became effective for
the Company’s fiscal 2010 second quarter. The adoption of this disclosure-only guidance is included in Note 4 “—Investments”
and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.
In May 2011, the FASB issued FASB Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement
and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also
include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair
value measurements has changed. This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing
information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively
and are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management currently believes that the adoption
of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

Item 3.
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity
of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing
intervals between our assets and liabilities and the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flows. Changes in the general
level of interest rates can affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest
earning assets and our interest expense incurred in connection with our interest bearing debt and liabilities. Changes in interest
rates can also affect, among other things, our ability to acquire and originate loans and securities and the value of our investment
portfolio.
Our investment income is affected by fluctuations
in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates. As of September 30, 2012, approximately 69% of our loans at fair value
in our portfolio were at floating rates with a spread to an interest rate index such as LIBOR or the prime rate. We generally expect
that future portfolio investments will predominately be floating rate investments. As of September 30, 2012, we had $60 million
of borrowings outstanding at a fixed rate of 8.75%, and $28 million at LIBOR + 300 basis points.
Because we borrow money to make investments,
our net investment income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest
the funds borrowed. Accordingly, 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. In periods of rising or lowering interest rates, the cost of the proportion of our
debt associated with our Convertible Senior Notes would remain the same at 8.75% given that this debt is at a fixed rate. We would
expect that an increase in the base rate index for our floating rate investment assets would increase our net investment income
and that a decrease in the base rate index for such assets would decrease our net investment income (in either case, such increase/decrease
may be limited by interest rate floors/minimums for certain investment assets).
We have analyzed the potential impact of
changes in interest rates on interest income net of interest expense. Assuming that our balance sheet at September 30, 2012 was
to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical increase of a 1% change
in interest rates would correspondingly increase net interest income proportionately by approximately $700,000 over a one-year
period. Conversely, a hypothetical decrease of a 1% change in interest rates would correspondingly decrease net interest income
proportionately by approximately $500,000 over a one-year period.
Although management believes that this measure
is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and
composition of the assets on the balance sheet and other business developments that could affect a net change in assets resulting
from operations or net income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not materially differ from the
potential outcome simulated by this estimate.
We did not hold any derivative financial
instruments for hedging purposes as of September 30, 2012.
Portfolio Valuation
We carry our investments at fair value, as
determined in good faith by our Board of Directors pursuant to a valuation methodology approved by our Board of Directors. Investments
for which market quotations are generally readily available are generally valued at such market quotations. Investments for which
there is not a readily available market value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors under
a valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair
value of investments that cannot be marked to market, the fair value of our investments may differ materially from the values that
would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments. In addition, changes in the market environment and other
events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the value realized on these investments to be different than the
valuations that are assigned. The types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing of our investments include,
as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, third party valuations, the portfolio company’s ability to
make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to
publicly-traded securities, recent sales of or offers to buy comparable companies, and other relevant factors.
In 2011 and 2010 we engaged an independent
valuation firm, to provide a third-party review of our CLO fair value model relative to its functionality, model inputs and calculations
as a reasonable method to determine CLO fair values, in the absence of Level I or Level II trading activity or observable market
inputs. The independent valuation firm concluded that our CLO model appropriately factors in all the necessary inputs required
to build a CLO equity cash flow for fair value purposes and that the inputs were being employed correctly.
Beginning with the period ending June 30,
2011, the Company has engaged an independent valuation firm to provide third party valuation consulting services to the Company’s
Board of Directors. Each quarter, the independent valuation firm will perform third party valuations on the Company’s investments
on illiquid securities such that they are reviewed at least once during a trailing 12 month period. These third party valuation
estimates were considered as one of the relevant data inputs in the Company’s determination of fair value. The Board of Directors
intends to continue to engage an independent valuation firm in the future to provide certain valuation services, including the
review of certain portfolio assets, as part of the quarterly and annual year-end valuation process.

Controls and Procedures
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, under the
supervision and with the participation of various members of management, including our CEO and our CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our current
disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended September 30, 2012,
the Company had no changes in its internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. Other Information

Item 1.
|
Legal
Proceedings
|
On January 11, 2010, the staff of the SEC’s
Division of Enforcement informed the Company that it was conducting an informal inquiry. The focus of the inquiry concerns the
valuation methodology and procedures used by the Company to value its investments. On April 30, 2010, the SEC Staff advised the
Company that a formal order of private investigation had been issued and that the informal inquiry was now a formal investigation.
A subpoena has been issued to the Company in connection with the formal investigation. The subpoena requests that the Company produce
documents that primarily relate to the valuation methodology and procedures used by the Company to value its investments. Since
January 2010, the Company has been providing documents in response to the informal inquiry and the subpoena, and the SEC Staff
has taken testimony from Company representatives. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC Staff’s investigation.
In connection with the investigation described
above, on April 19, 2012, the SEC Staff issued a “Wells Notice” to Michael I. Wirth, the Company’s former Chief
Financial Officer, indicating that the SEC Staff is considering recommending that the SEC institute proceedings against Mr. Wirth
alleging that Mr. Wirth violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws. The Wells Notice does not constitute
a determination that Mr. Wirth violated any law. Under the process established by the SEC, Mr. Wirth will have the opportunity
to make a Wells Submission before the SEC Staff makes a formal recommendation to the SEC regarding what action, if any, should
be brought by the SEC. Mr. Wirth has informed the Company that he has made such a submission.
Neither the Company nor any other person
employed by the Company has received a Wells Notice. The Company and the other officers involved in this matter, including Dayl
W. Pearson, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, are engaged in settlement negotiations in an effort to resolve
the matter and believe that discussions to date with the SEC Staff will lead to a settlement. Any settlement remains subject to
approval by the SEC.
The Company cannot at this time predict with
certainty the outcome of the above matter, including whether the SEC will approve any settlement or whether the SEC will ultimately
determine to issue a Wells Notice to the Company or any other person involved in this matter. The Company does not anticipate that
the Wells Notice referenced above or the terms of any settlement involving the Company and the other officers involved in the matter
will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
Except as set forth above, neither the Company,
nor any of its subsidiaries, is currently a party to any material legal proceedings, other than routine litigation and administrative
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Such proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on
the business, financial condition, or results of the Company’s operations.
Other than as described below, there have
been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which should be read together with the other risk factors and information
disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other reports filed with the SEC.
Our business model depends to a significant extent upon
strong referral relationships, and our inability to maintain or develop these relationships, as well as the failure of these relationships
to generate investment opportunities, could adversely affect our business.
We expect that members of our senior management
team will maintain their relationships with intermediaries, financial institutions, investment bankers, commercial bankers, financial
advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants and other individuals within our network, and we will rely to a significant extent
upon these relationships to provide us with potential investment opportunities. If our senior management team fails to maintain
its existing relationships or develop new relationships with sources of investment opportunities, we will not be able to grow our
investment portfolio. In addition, individuals with whom members of our senior management team have relationships are not obligated
to provide us with investment opportunities, and, therefore, there is no assurance that such relationships will generate investment
opportunities for us.
Pending legislation may allow us to incur additional leverage.
As a business development company, under
the 1940 Act generally we are not permitted to incur indebtedness unless immediately after such borrowing we have an asset coverage
for total borrowings of at least 200% (i.e., the amount of debt may not exceed 50% of the value of our assets). Recent legislation
introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, if passed, would modify this provision of the 1940 Act and increase the amount
of debt that business development companies may incur by modifying the percentage from 200% to 150%. As a result, we may be able
to incur additional indebtedness in the future and therefore your risk of an investment in us may increase.
Second priority liens on collateral securing loans that
we make to our portfolio companies may be subject to control by senior creditors with first priority liens. If there is a default,
the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay in full both the first priority creditors and us.
Certain loans that we make are secured by
a second priority security interest in the same collateral pledged by a portfolio company to secure senior debt owed by the portfolio
company to commercial banks or other traditional lenders. Often the senior lender has procured covenants from the portfolio company
prohibiting the incurrence of additional secured debt without the senior lender's consent. Prior to and as a condition of permitting
the portfolio company to borrow money from us secured by the same collateral pledged to the senior lender, the senior lender will
require assurances that it will control the disposition of any collateral in the event of bankruptcy or other default. In many
such cases, the senior lender will require us to enter into an “intercreditor agreement” prior to permitting the portfolio
company to borrow from us. Typically the intercreditor agreements we are requested to execute expressly subordinate our debt instruments
to those held by the senior lender and further provide that the senior lender shall control: (1) the commencement of foreclosure
or other proceedings to liquidate and collect on the collateral; (2) the nature, timing and conduct of foreclosure or other collection
proceedings; (3) the amendment of any collateral document; (4) the release of the security interests in respect of any collateral;
and (5) the waiver of defaults under any security agreement. Because of the control we may cede to senior lenders under intercreditor
agreements we may enter, we may be unable to realize the proceeds of any collateral securing some of our loans.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
|
While we did not engage in any sales of unregistered
securities during the three months ended September 30, 2012, we issued a total of 16,949 shares of common stock under our dividend
reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). This issuance was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933. The aggregate value of the shares of our common stock issued under our DRIP was approximately $133,000.
