* Non-income producing security.
(a) Security may be an obligation of one or more entities affiliated with the named company.
(b) Non-Controlled/Non-Affiliate Investments as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), unless otherwise indicated. Non-Controlled/Non-Affiliate Investments are investments that are neither Controlled Investments nor Affiliate Investments.
(c) Denominated in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise noted.
(d) Represents amortized cost for debt securities and cost for common stocks translated to U.S. dollars.
(e) A portfolio company domiciled in a foreign country. The jurisdiction of the security issuer may be a different country than the domicile of the portfolio company.
(f) The investment is not a qualifying asset as defined in Section 55(a) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets. The Company calculates its compliance with the qualifying assets test on a “look through” basis by disregarding the value of the Company’s total return swaps and treating each loan underlying the total return swaps as either a qualifying asset or non-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 71.6% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets as of March 31, 2014.
(g) Security or portion thereof is held within CCT Funding, LLC and is pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank.
(h) Investments classified as Level 3 whereby fair value was determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (see Note 2).
(i) Position or portion thereof unsettled as of March 31, 2014.
(j) This security was acquired in a transaction that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Rule 144A thereunder. This security may be resold only in transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, normally to qualified institutional buyers.
(k) Security or portion thereof is held within Paris Funding, LLC and is pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under the committed facility agreement with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc. and eligible to be hypothecated as allowed under Rule 15c2-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act subject to the limits of the Rehypothecation Agreement.
(l) Controlled investment as defined by the 1940 Act, whereby the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities or maintains the ability to nominate greater than 50% of the board representation.
(m) Affiliate investment as defined by the 1940 Act, whereby the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and the investments are not classified as Controlled investments.
(n) 7-day effective yield as of March 31, 2014.
(o) As of March 31, 2014, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $57,637; the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $5,787; the net unrealized appreciation was $51,850; the aggregate cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes was $1,893,344.

(e) The investment is not a qualifying asset as defined in Section 55(a) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets. The Company calculates its compliance with the qualifying assets test on a “look through” basis by disregarding the value of the Company’s total return swaps and treating each loan underlying the total return swaps as either a qualifying asset or non-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 75.8% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets as of December 31, 2013.

CORPORATE CAPITAL TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ($ amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1.       Principal Business and Organization

Corporate Capital Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on June 9, 2010. The Company is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company and it is regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “40 Act”). The Company’s investment objective is to provide its shareholders with current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation, by investing primarily in the debt of privately owned U.S. companies with a focus on originated transactions sourced through the networks of its advisors. The Company commenced business operations on June 17, 2011 and it commenced investment operations on July 1, 2011. The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company, (“RIC”), under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.

The Company is externally managed by CNL Fund Advisors Company (“CNL”) and KKR Asset Management LLC (“KKR”) (collectively the “Advisors”), which are responsible for sourcing potential investments, analyzing and conducting due diligence on prospective investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring the Company’s investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. Both Advisors are registered as investment advisers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). CNL also provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate.

The Company is currently offering and selling shares of its common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (Registration No. 333-189544) (the “Follow-On Registration Statement”) covering its follow-on continuous public offering of up to 209 million shares of common stock for an approximate maximum offering amount of $2.3 billion (the “Follow-On Offering”). Immediately prior to the commencement of the Follow-On Offering in November 2013, the Company terminated its initial continuous public offering (the “Initial Offering”). Through the termination date of the Initial Offering, the Company sold approximately 141 million shares of common stock, including reinvestment of distributions, for total gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion. The Initial Offering and Follow-On Offering are collectively referred to as the “Offerings”.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had three wholly owned financing subsidiaries. CCT Funding LLC (“CCT Funding”) and Paris Funding LLC (“Paris Funding”) were established on July 15, 2011 and August 13, 2013, respectively, both for the purpose of arranging secured, revolving credit facilities with banks and to borrow money to invest in portfolio companies. Halifax Funding LLC (“Halifax Funding”) was established on October 11, 2012 for the purpose of entering into total return swaps (“TRS”). The Company has also formed FCF LLC, a taxable subsidiary (the “Taxable Subsidiary”), which is taxed as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Taxable Subsidiary allows the Company to hold equity securities of portfolio companies organized as pass-through entities while continuing to satisfy the RIC requirements.

2.       Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted herein. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was filed with the SEC on March 20, 2014. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, (ii) the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period and (iii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits, foreign currency, and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

18


Valuation of Investments - The Company measures the value of its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Fair value is 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.

ASC Topic 820 also defines hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, and the hierarchical levels are described as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. Publicly listed equities and debt securities, publicly listed derivatives, money market fund/ short term investment funds and foreign currency are generally included in Level 1. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. In certain cases, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from orderly transactions for similar investments in active markets between market participants and provided by reputable dealers or independent pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, and various relationships between investments. Investments generally included in this category are corporate bonds and loans, convertible debt indexed to publicly listed securities, foreign currency forward contracts and certain over-the-counter derivatives.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation. Investments generally included in this category are total return swap agreements, corporate bonds and loans, common and preferred stock investments, and equity options that lack observable market pricing.

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 it considers factors specific to the investment.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to the Company’s portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Company’s board of directors is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value in accordance with the valuation policy approved by the board of directors, based on, among other things, the input of the Company’s Advisors, audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. The Company’s board of directors has the final responsibility for reviewing and approving, in good faith, the Company’s determination of the fair value of its investments for which market quotations are not readily available.

The board of directors makes this fair value determination on a quarterly basis and any other time when a decision regarding the fair value of the portfolio investments is required. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment that does not have a readily available market value in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value recorded by Company.

The Company and its Advisors undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter for debt and equity securities whose market prices are not otherwise readily available, as described below:

 

  The quarterly valuation process initially begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by KKR (internal valuation) and/or the Company’s independent third party valuation firm (external valuation) which provides a valuation range.

 

  Valuation recommendations are formulated and documented by KKR and reviewed by KKR’s valuation committee. The valuation committee then provides its valuation recommendation for each investment, along with supporting documentation, to CNL and the Company where the valuation recommendations and internal/external valuation documentation are reviewed by CNL and the Company’s management.

 

19


  The Company’s audit committee then reviews the valuation recommendations and supporting documentation.

 

  The Company’s board of directors then discusses the investment valuation recommendations with the Advisors and determines the fair value of these investments in good faith.

Depending on the relative liquidity in the markets for certain assets, the Company may transfer assets to Level 3 if it determines that observable quoted prices, obtained directly or indirectly, are not available. The valuation techniques used for the assets and liabilities that are valued using Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are described below.

Corporate Debt Securities and Corporate Loans, at Estimated Fair Value: Corporate debt securities and corporate loans, at estimated fair value are initially valued at transaction price and are subsequently valued using market data for similar instruments (e.g., recent transactions or indicative broker quotes), comparisons to benchmark derivative indices or valuation models. Valuation models are based on yield analysis and discounted cash flow techniques, where the key inputs are based on relative value analyses and the assignment of risk-adjusted discounted rates, based on the analysis of similar instruments from similar issuers. In addition, an illiquidity discount is applied where appropriate.

Equity Investments, at Estimated Fair Value: Equity investments, at estimated fair value, are initially valued at transaction price and are subsequently valued using observable market prices, if available, or internally developed models in the absence of readily observable market prices. Valuation models are generally based on market and income (discounted cash flow) approaches, in which various internal and external factors are considered. Factors include key financial inputs and recent public and private transactions for comparable investments. Key inputs used for the discounted cash flow approach include the weighted average cost of capital and assumed inputs used to calculate terminal values, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) exit multiples. The fair value recorded for a particular investment will generally be within the range suggested by the two approaches. Upon completion of the valuations conducted, an illiquidity discount is applied where appropriate.

Total Return Swaps, at Estimated Fair Value: The Company values its TRS in accordance with the TRS agreements between the Company (or its wholly owned subsidiary) and the TRS counter-party, which collectively established the TRS. Pursuant to the TRS agreements, the value of the TRS is based on (i) the increase or decrease in the value of the TRS reference assets relative to the notional amounts, together with (ii) accrued interest income and fee income, (iii) TRS financing costs on the TRS settled notional amount, and (iv) certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The TRS reference assets are valued pursuant to the valuation algorithm specified in the TRS Agreements, including reliance on indicative bid prices provided by independent third-party pricing services. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. On a quarterly basis, the Company’s management reviews, tests and compares (i) the indicative bid prices assigned to each TRS reference asset by the TRS counter-party, based on the inputs provided by third-party pricing services with (ii) pricing inputs that are independently sourced by the Company’s management and/or its Advisors from third-party pricing services. Additionally, the Company’s management reviews the calculations of both collected and accrued interest, TRS financing costs, and realized gains and losses that also determine the aggregate fair value of the TRS. For additional disclosures on the Company’s TRS, including quantitative disclosures of the current period conclusions of the fair value components, refer to Note 4.

Key unobservable inputs that have a significant impact on the Company’s Level 3 valuations as described above are included in Note 5. The Company utilizes several unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions in determining the fair value of its Level 3 investments. These unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions may differ by asset and in the application of the Company’s valuation methodologies. The reported fair value estimates could vary materially if the Company had chosen to incorporate different unobservable pricing inputs and other assumptions.

Security Transactions, Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses, and Income Recognition - Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. The Company measures realized gains or losses from the repayment or sale of investments using the specific identification method. The amortized cost basis of investments includes (i) the original cost and (ii) adjustments for the accretion/amortization of market discounts and premiums, original issue discount and loan origination fees. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums to par value and accretion of discounts to par value. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Premiums and discounts are determined based on the cash flows expected to be collected for a particular investment. In its role as the Company’s investment adviser, KKR may provide assistance to portfolio companies and in return may receive fees for capital structuring services. KKR is obligated to remit to the Company any earned capital structuring fees based on the pro-rata portion of the Company’s investment. These fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as earned revenue by the Company upon closing of the associated investment. Loan origination, closing, commitment and

 

20


other fees received directly from borrowers in connection with the closing of investments are accreted over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method as interest income. Upon prepayment of a debt investment, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan fees and discounts are recorded as interest income.

The Company has investments in debt securities which contain a contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. PIK interest computed at the contractual rate specified in the investment’s credit agreement is accrued into income and reflected as interest receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers either the option or the obligation at each interest payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, the Company capitalizes the accrued interest receivable as additional principal due from the borrower. PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. If the portfolio company valuation indicates a value of the PIK investment that is not sufficient to cover the contractual PIK interest, the Company will not accrue PIK interest income on the PIK investment and will record an allowance for any accrued PIK interest receivable as a reduction of interest or dividend income in the period the Company determines it is not collectible. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, PIK interest income, which is considered taxable income, could create an additional distribution requirement, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

Loans or debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are at least 90 days past due or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Generally, accrued interest is reversed when a loan or a debt security is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans or debt securities may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans and debt securities are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this treatment if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. The contractual interest associated with a loan or debt security that has been placed on non-accrual status might increase taxable income, which could create an additional distribution requirement to maintain the Company’s status as a RIC.

Derivative Instruments - The Company’s derivative instruments include foreign currency forward contracts and total return swaps. The Company marks the value of its derivative instruments to market value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. TRS unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is composed of the net accrued interest income and accrued TRS financing charges owed and the overall change in fair value of the TRS reference assets. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gain (loss) on derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. TRS realized gains and losses are composed of any realized gains or losses on the TRS reference assets and the net interest received or paid on the quarterly TRS settlement date.

Deferred Financing Costs - Deferred financing costs represent fees and other direct costs incurred in connection with arranging the Company’s borrowings and total return swaps. These amounts are initially recorded as prepaid and deferred expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and then subsequently amortized over the contractual term of the credit facilities and total return swap agreements as interest expense.

Paid In Capital - The Company records the proceeds from the sale of its common stock on a net basis to (i) capital stock and (ii) paid in capital in excess of par value, excluding all commissions and marketing support fees.

Foreign Currency Translation, Transactions and Gains/Losses - Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) at the exchange rate on the last business day of the reporting period for the fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities; and (ii) at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective recording dates for the purchase and sale of investment securities, income, expenses, gains and losses.

Net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above and the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held; therefore the fluctuations related to foreign exchange rate conversion are included with the net realized gain (loss) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in foreign currency forward contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Company and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Company. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from currency translation for foreign currency

 

21


forward contracts is included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and is included with unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from foreign currency translation for other receivables or payables is presented as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Management Fees - The Company accrues for the base management fee (recorded as investment advisory fees) and performance-based incentive fees, including (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains. The Company records the liability for the incentive fee on capital gains based on a hypothetical liquidation of its investment portfolio at the end of each reporting period. Therefore the accrual for incentive fee on capital gains includes the recognition of incentive fee on both net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation, if any, although any such incentive fee associated with net unrealized appreciation is neither earned nor payable to the Advisors until net unrealized appreciation is realized as net realized gains. Additionally the determination of whether the accrued incentive fee associated with net realized gains is earned and payable to the Advisors can only be made at the end of the calendar year. The two components of performance-based incentive fees are combined and expensed on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and accrued on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as accrued performance-based incentive fees.

Organization and Offering Expenses - Organization expenses, including reimbursement payments to Advisors, are expensed on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Continuous offering expenses, including reimbursement payments to Advisors, but excluding commission and marketing support fees, are accumulated monthly and capitalized on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as deferred offering expenses and then subsequently expensed over a 12-month period.

Earnings per Share - Earnings per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.

Distributions - Distributions are generally declared by the Company’s board of directors each calendar quarter and recognized as distribution liabilities on the record date. Distributions are paid monthly. The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of distributions on behalf of shareholders. Shareholders who have elected to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a price per share equivalent to the public offering price on the distribution payment date, net of commissions and marketing support fees.

Federal Income Taxes - The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to maintain its qualification as RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes at least 90% of “Investment Company Taxable Income,” as defined in the Code. The Company intends to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain its RIC status each year and it does not anticipate paying a material level of federal income taxes.

The Company is also generally subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute an amount at least equal to the sum (i) 98% of net ordinary income for a calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of the Company’s capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (iii) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which the Company paid no federal income tax. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% federal excise tax on this excess taxable income.

The Taxable Subsidiary holds certain portfolio investments of the Company. The Taxable Subsidiary is consolidated for GAAP reporting purposes, and the portfolio investments held by it are included in the consolidated financial statements. The Taxable Subsidiary is not consolidated with the Company for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities. This income tax expense, or benefit, if any, and the related tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, using statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes in its condensed consolidated financial statements the effect of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes – Overall –Recognition, nor did it have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. Although the Company and the Taxable Subsidiary file federal and state tax returns, its major tax jurisdiction is federal.

 

22


Book and tax basis differences relating to permanent book and tax differences are reclassified among the Company’s capital accounts, as appropriate. Additionally, the tax character of distributions is determined in accordance with the Code which differs from GAAP.

Reclassifications - Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

3.       Investments

The Company is engaged in a strategy to invest primarily in the debt of privately owned U.S. companies. The primary investment concentrations include (i) senior debt securities and (ii) subordinated debt securities. The Company’s investments may, in some cases, be accompanied by warrants, options or other forms of equity participation. The Company may separately purchase common or preferred equity interests or limited partnership interests in transactions. The Company may also invest in structured products such as collateralized loan obligations. The fair value of the Company’s investments will generally fluctuate with, among other things, changes in prevailing interest rates, the general supply of, and demand for, debt capital among private and public companies, general domestic and global economic conditions, the condition of certain financial markets, developments or trends in any particular industry and changes in the financial condition and credit quality of each security’s issuer.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts:

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies and to economically hedge the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. These contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market exchange rate as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized when forward contracts are settled. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts; the Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by only dealing with well known counterparties.

At March 31, 2014, the details of the Company’s open foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:

Equity Options:

The Company holds equity options in certain portfolio companies to enhance investment returns in connection with its primary lending activities. In purchasing options, the Company bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying equity interest. The equity options are recorded as investments in the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The aggregate fair value of options as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 represents 0.9% and 1.1% of the Company’s net assets, respectively.

Total Return Swaps:

On November 15, 2012, Halifax Funding entered into the TRS with the Bank of Nova Scotia (“BNS” or “counterparty”).

The TRS arrangement with BNS consists of a set of TRS agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Halifax Funding may select a portfolio of single-name corporate loans and/or bonds (each a “TRS reference asset” and together the “TRS reference assets”) with a maximum aggregate notional amount of $500,000. Under the terms of the TRS agreements, each TRS reference asset included in the TRS portfolio constitutes a separate total return swap transaction, although all calculations, payments and transfers required to be made under the TRS agreements are calculated and treated on an aggregate basis, based upon all such transactions.

Halifax Funding receives quarterly from BNS (i) all collected interest and fees generated by TRS reference assets and (ii) realized gains from the sale or repayment of TRS reference assets, if any. Halifax Funding pays to BNS (i) interest on the TRS settled notional amount at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR+0.80% per annum if the initial investment amount (i.e. posted collateral) equals or exceeds 50% of the TRS trade basis notional amount, or three-month LIBOR+1.00% if the initial investment amount is less than 50% of the TRS trade basis notional amount and (ii) realized losses, if any. In addition, upon the termination of the TRS arrangement, Halifax Funding will either receive from BNS any net realized gain, or pay to BNS any net realized loss, on the liquidation of TRS reference assets.

Halifax Funding posts collateral in the form of certificates of deposit held by a custodian. Generally, the required collateral amount is at least 40% of the notional amount of each TRS reference asset at the time that such TRS reference asset is confirmed for acquisition by the counterparty. Halifax Funding may be required to post additional collateral, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of depreciation in the value of TRS reference assets after such value decreases below a specified amount. Halifax Funding is required to post additional collateral to ensure that the collateral market value, as solely determined by BNS, is at least equal to 25% of the value of the TRS portfolio.

The obligations of Halifax Funding under the TRS agreements are non-recourse to the Company and the Company’s exposure to the TRS is limited to the amount of collateral that is posted pursuant to the terms of the TRS agreements. The Company has no contractual obligation to post any collateral or to make any interest payments to BNS. The Company may, but is not obligated to, increase its equity investment in Halifax Funding for the purpose of funding additional collateral or payment obligations for which Halifax Funding may become obligated during the term of the TRS agreements. If the Company does not make any such additional equity investment in Halifax Funding and Halifax Funding fails to meet its obligations under the TRS agreements, then BNS will have the right to terminate the TRS and use the collateral posted by Halifax Funding with the custodian to offset any amount owed to BNS. The Company may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing at least 30 days notice prior to the proposed settlement date of the TRS reference assets related to such termination. In the absence of an early termination as just described, the TRS will terminate on January 15, 2016. In the event of an early termination of the TRS, Halifax Funding may be required to pay a make-whole fee based on a minimum spread amount to be earned by BNS over the life of the TRS agreements. Halifax Funding would have been required to pay an early termination fee of $5,415 if the TRS had been terminated as of March 31, 2014.

(1)  The TRS was valued in accordance with the TRS agreements as discussed in Note 2. See Note 4 for quantitative disclosures of the current period conclusions of the fair value of the TRS.
(2)  For the assets and investment that have more than one valuation technique, the Company may rely on the stated techniques individually or in the aggregate based on a weight ascribed to each valuation technique, ranging from 0 – 100%. Indicative broker quotes obtained for valuation purposes are reviewed by the Company relative to other valuation techniques.
(3)  Weighted average amounts are based on the estimated fair values.
(4)  This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the input would have the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.

In the above tables, certain investments may be valued at cost for a period of time after an acquisition as the best indicator of fair value.

The above tables represent the significant unobservable inputs as they relate to the Company’s determination of fair values for the majority of its investments categorized within Level 3 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the table above, according to the Company’s valuation policy, it may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the Company’s fair value estimates. Any significant increases or decreases in these unobservable inputs would result in significant increases or decreases in the fair value of the Company’s investments.

Investments that do not have a readily available market value are valued utilizing a market comparables approach, an income approach (i.e. discounted cash flow approach), or both approaches, as appropriate. The market comparables approach uses prices, including third-party indicative broker quotes, and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) that are discounted based on a required or expected discount rate to derive a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in fair value pricing its investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including an assessment of the credit quality of the security issuer, relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, illiquidity discounts, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, data derived from mergers and acquisitions activities for comparable companies, and enterprise values, among other factors.

CNL Securities Corp., an affiliate of CNL, serves as the managing dealer of the Offering and Follow-On Offering and in connection therewith receives selling commissions of up to 7% of gross offering proceeds and a marketing support fee of up to 3% of gross offering proceeds. All or any portion of these fees may be reallowed to participating brokers as determined by CNL Securities Corp. The Company will pay a maximum sales load of 10% of gross offering proceeds for all combined selling commissions and marketing support fees.

The Company is a party to an investment advisory agreement with CNL (together with one amendment, the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) for the overall management of the Company’s investment activities. The Company and CNL have entered into a sub-advisory agreement with KKR (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), under which KKR is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company’s investment portfolio. CNL compensates KKR for advisory services that it provides to the Company with 50% of the base management fees and performance-based incentive fees that CNL receives under the Investment Advisory Agreement. CNL earns a base management fee equal to an annual rate of 2% of the Company’s average gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed months and it is computed and paid monthly. Gross assets include assets purchased with borrowed funds, TRS unrealized depreciation or appreciation and collateral posted with custodian in connection with TRS, but exclude deferred offering expense. CNL also earns a performance-based incentive fee that is comprised of the following two parts:

(i) a subordinated incentive fee on pre-incentive fee net investment income, that is paid quarterly if earned, and it is computed as the sum of (A) 100% of quarterly pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of 1.75% of average adjusted capital up to a limit of 0.4375% of average adjusted capital, and (B) 20% of pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of 2.1875% of average adjusted capital and

(ii) an incentive fee on capital gains that is paid annually if earned, and it is equal to 20% of (A) all realized gains on a cumulative basis from inception, net of (i) all realized losses on a cumulative basis, (ii) unrealized depreciation at year end and (iii) disregarding any net realized gains associated with the TRS interest spread (which represents the difference between (a) the interest and fees received on total return swaps, and (b) the financing fees paid to the TRS counterparty), and subtracting (B) the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains.

The terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement entitle CNL (and indirectly KKR) to receive up to 5% of gross proceeds in connection with the Offerings as reimbursement for organization and offering expenses incurred by the Advisors on behalf of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the reimbursement rate was 1% of gross offering proceeds.

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisors are entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in connection with its investment operations and investment transactions.

The Company is a party to an administrative services agreement with CNL (the “Administrative Services Agreement”) whereby CNL performs, and oversees the performance of, various administrative services on behalf of the Company. Administrative services may include transfer agency oversight and supervisory services, shareholder communication services, general ledger accounting services, calculating the Company’s net asset value, maintaining required corporate and financial records, financial reporting for the Company and its subsidiaries, internal audit services, reporting to the Company’s board of directors and lenders, preparing and filing income tax returns, preparing and filing SEC reports, preparing, printing and disseminating shareholder reports, overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and shareholder distributions, administering the quarterly share repurchase programs, compliance services, and management and oversight of service providers in their performance of administrative and professional services rendered for the

 

33


Company. CNL may also enter into agreements with its affiliates for the performance of select administrative services. The Company reimburses CNL for the professional services and expenses it incurs in performing its administrative obligations on behalf of the Company. CNL also receives reimbursement payments from the Company for professional services provided by certain officers of the Company.

On June 7, 2011, the Company entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement as amended, (the “Expense Support Agreement”) with CNL and KKR pursuant to which CNL and KKR jointly and severally agreed to pay to the Company certain operating expenses (an “Expense Support Payment”) during the Expense Support Payment Period between June 17, 2011 to June 30, 2012. During the term of the Expense Support Agreement, the Company received Expense Support payments from its Advisors in the cumulative amount of $2,966. The Company made reimbursement payments of $1,136 and $1,830 to its Advisors during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, all Expense Support Payments received from the Advisors have been repaid.

Indemnification - The Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement provide certain indemnification to the Advisors, their directors, officers, persons associated with the Advisors, and their affiliates. The managing dealer agreement provides certain indemnification to the managing dealer and each participating broker and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, associated persons, agents and control persons. As of March 31, 2014, management believes that the risk of incurring any losses for such indemnification is remote.

(1)  The above table does not present all adjustments to calculate taxable income available for distributions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no distributions in excess of net investment income. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the tax-related sources of distributions of $12,759 are greater than the distributions in excess of net investment income of $10,447. As a result, the Company estimates that none of the distributions declared during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 would be considered to be a return of capital.

On March 18, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions of $0.015483 per share for 13 record dates beginning on April 1, 2014 through and including June 24, 2014.

At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the sale of investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. The Company limits repurchases in each quarter to 2.5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior four calendar quarters. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program upon 30 days notice.

(1)  The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
(2)  The amount shown at this caption is the balancing figure derived from the other figures in the schedule. The amount shown at this caption for a share outstanding throughout the year may not agree with the change in the aggregate gains and losses in portfolio securities for the year because of the timing of sales of the Company’s shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio.
(3)  The per share data for distributions is the actual amount of distributions paid or payable per share of common stock outstanding during the entire period; distributions per share are rounded to the nearest $0.01.
(4)  See Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for further insight into the sources of distributions that contribute to the occurrence of distributions in excess of net investment income.
(5)  The continuous issuance of common stock may cause an incremental increase in net asset value per share due to the sale of shares at the then prevailing public offering price and the receipt of net proceeds per share by the Company in excess of net asset value per share on each subscription closing date. The per share data was derived by computing (i) the sum of (A) the number of shares issued in connection with subscriptions and/or distribution reinvestment on each share transaction date times (B) the differences between the net proceeds per share and the net asset value per share on each share transaction date, divided by (ii) the total shares outstanding at the end of the period.
(6)  The per share impact of the Company’s repurchase of common stock is a reduction to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the applicable period.

(7)  Total investment return-net price is a measure of total return for shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock at the beginning of the period, including dividends declared during the period. Total investment return-net price is based on (i) the purchase of one share at the public offering price, net of sales load, on the first day of the period, (ii) the sale at the net asset value per share on the last day of the period, of (A) one share plus (B) any fractional shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of monthly distributions, and (iii) the cash payment for distributions payable, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return-net price calculation assumes that (i) monthly cash distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan and (ii) the fractional shares issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan are issued at the then public offering price, net of sales load, on each monthly distribution payment date. Since there is no public market for the Company’s shares, then the terminal sales price per share is assumed to be equal to net asset value per share on the last day of the period. The Company’s performance changes over time and currently may be different than that shown above. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment performance is presented without regard to sales load that may be incurred by shareholders in the purchase of the Company’s shares of common stock.
(8)  Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held the Company’s common stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions declared during the period. Total investment return-net asset value is based on (i) the beginning period net asset value per share on the first day of the period, (ii) the net asset value per share on the last day of the period, of (A) one share plus (B) any fractional shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of monthly distributions, and (iii) the value of distributions payable, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return-net asset value calculation assumes that (i) monthly cash distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan and (ii) the fractional shares issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan are issued at the then public offering price, net of sales load, on each monthly distribution payment date. Since there is no public market for the Company’s shares, then terminal market value per share is assumed to be equal to net asset value per share on the last day of the period. The Company’s performance changes over time and currently may be different than that shown above. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment performance is presented without regard to sales load that may be incurred by shareholders in the purchase of the Company’s shares of common stock.
(9)  The computation of average net assets and average credit facilities borrowings during the period is based on the daily value of net assets and borrowing balances, respectively. Ratios are not annualized.
(10) Asset coverage ratio is equal to (i) the sum of (A) net assets at the end of the period and (B) debt outstanding at the end of the period, divided by (ii) total debt outstanding at the end of the period. For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company as a business development company, the Company regards the TRS total notional amount at the end of the period, less the total amount of cash collateral posted by Halifax Funding under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of the TRS. These data are presented in Note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The weighted average stated interest rate and weighted average maturity, both on aggregate principal amount, of all debt outstanding as of March 31, 2014 were 2.4% and 1.6 years, respectively.

Deutsche Bank Credit Facility

On January 28, 2014, CCT Funding, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, (“Deutsche Bank”), and the other lenders party thereto entered into an amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the multi-lender, revolving credit facility (“the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility”) that CCT Funding originally entered into with Deutsche Bank on August 22, 2011. Deutsche Bank is a lender and serves as administrative agent under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility.

The Fourth Amendment provided for, among other things, an increase in the maximum borrowings under the Tranche B1 Loans from $65,000 to $140,000. The Fourth Amendment extends the maturity date of the Tranche B1 Loans to January 28, 2015. As amended, the Tranche B1 Loans will bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.80%. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has incurred deferred financing costs of $1,632 in connection with arranging and amending the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility.

Under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, CCT Funding has made certain representations and warranties and it is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for credit agreements of this nature. As of March 31, 2014, management believes that the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility.

BNP Credit Facility

In 2013, the Company entered into a committed facility arrangement (the “BNP Credit Facility), with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc. (“BNP”) under which the Company may borrow up to $200,000. The Company subsequently assigned the agreements under the BNP Credit Facility to Paris Funding. Paris Funding has the right to prepay loans under the BNP Credit Facility in whole or in part at any time. BNP can recall the loans under the BNP Credit Facility with 364 days notice.

Paris Funding pledges certain of its assets as collateral to secure borrowings under the BNP Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2014, Paris Funding had investments with a fair value of $136,613 pledged as collateral under the BNP Credit Facility. Interest is charged at the rate of one month LIBOR plus 1.10% and is payable monthly. Paris Funding also pays an annual commitment fee on any unused commitment amounts of 0.55% or 0.75%, depending on utilization levels. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has incurred deferred financing costs of $470 in connection with arranging the BNP Credit Facility.

In connection with the BNP Credit Facility, Paris Funding has made customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. As of March 31, 2014, management believes that Paris Funding was in compliance with the covenants of the BNP Credit Facility.

Under the terms of the BNP Financing Agreements, BNP has the ability to borrow a portion of the pledged collateral (“Rehypothecated Securities”), subject to certain limits. Paris Funding may receive a fee from BNP in connection with Rehypothecated Securities meeting certain criteria and will continue to receive interest and the scheduled repayment of principal balances on Rehypothecated Securities.

The components of interest expense, average interest rates (i.e., base interest rate in effect plus the spread) and average outstanding balances for the BNP Credit Facility were as follows:

Senior Secured Credit Facility

In 2013, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) with certain lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., acting as administrative agent. The Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of loans to be made in U.S. dollars and other foreign currencies in an aggregate amount of $320,000 as of March 31, 2014, with an “accordion” feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility to a maximum of $600,000. Availability under the Senior Secured Credit Facility will terminate on September 4, 2016 and the outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility will mature on September 4, 2017. The stated borrowing rate under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 2.50% or on an “alternate base rate” (which is the highest of a prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus an applicable spread of 1.50%, or, with respect to borrowings in non-LIBOR currencies, on a rate applicable to such currency plus an applicable spread of 2.50%. The Company also pays an annual commitment fee on any unused commitment amounts between 0.375% and 1.00%, depending on utilization levels. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s portfolio investments and its cash and securities accounts excluding those held by CCT Funding,

 

38


Paris Funding and Halifax Funding, and provides for a guaranty by certain subsidiaries of the Company. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has incurred deferred financing costs of $3,947 in connection with arranging and amending the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities, including ones that require the Company to maintain a certain minimum amount of shareholders’ equity and to remain under certain leverage ratios. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also includes usual and customary events of default for senior secured revolving credit facilities of this nature. As of December 31, 2013, management believes that the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

In addition to the covenants described above, borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of portfolio investments that serve as security and are included in the borrowing base.

The components of interest expense, average interest rates (i.e., base interest rate in effect plus the spread) and average outstanding balances for the Senior Secured Credit Facility were as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended
March 31, 2014

Weighted Average Interest Rate

     3.1%    

12.       Guarantees and Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into guarantees on behalf of portfolio companies. Under these arrangements, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. The Company has no such guarantees outstanding at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company’s unfunded commitments may be significant from time to time. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company intends to use cash flow from normal and early principal repayments and proceeds from borrowings and offerings to fund these commitments. As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s unfunded commitments amounted to $193,949.

13.       Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized federal and state deferred income tax benefits related to its Taxable Subsidiary resulting in a net deferred tax asset of approximately $252, which was primarily comprised of net operating losses and unrealized depreciation. The Company recorded a valuation allowance against the full amount of the related deferred tax asset because it believed that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would not be realized as of March 31, 2014. The effective tax rate for the Taxable Subsidiary is approximately 39.15%.

14.       Subsequent Events

On April 4, 2014, the aggregate loan commitment under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was increased to $490,000.

On April 15, 2014, the Company filed its tender offer statement with the SEC on Schedule TO. The Company is offering to repurchase up to 3,091,175 shares of common stock at a cash price of $10.12 per share.

As of May 9, 2014, the total amount borrowed under the Company’s credit facilities was $473,130.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. In this report, “we”, “our”, “us” and “our company” refer to Corporate Capital Trust, Inc.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The following information contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “believe” and “expect” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: the current global economic downturn, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national and global capital market conditions, our ability to obtain credit lines or credit facilities on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, availability of proceeds from our offering of shares, our ability to identify suitable investments, our ability to close on identified investments, inaccuracies of our accounting estimates, our ability to locate suitable borrowers for our loans and the ability of such borrowers to make payments under their respective loans. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on such statements, which apply only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K filing for the year ended December 31, 2013.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ.

In addition to the discussion below, our critical accounting policies are further described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. We consider these accounting policies to be deemed critical because they involve management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments will affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements.

Valuation of Investments – We measure the value of our investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Fair value is 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.

ASC Topic 820 also defines hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, and the hierarchical levels are described as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. Publicly listed equities and debt securities, publicly listed derivatives, money market fund/ short term investment funds and foreign currency are generally included in Level 1. We do not adjust the quoted price for these investments.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. In certain cases, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from orderly transactions for similar investments in active markets between market participants and provided by reputable dealers or independent pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, and various relationships between investments. Investments generally included in this category are corporate bonds and loans, convertible debt indexed to publicly listed securities, foreign currency forward contracts and certain over-the-counter derivatives.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation. Investments

 

40


 

generally included in this category are total return swap agreements, corporate bonds and loans, common and preferred stock investments, and equity options that lack observable market pricing.

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.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to our portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board of directors is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value in accordance with the valuation policy approved by the board of directors, based on, among other things, the input of our Advisors, audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. Our board of directors has the final responsibility for reviewing and approving, in good faith, our determination of the fair value of our investments for which market quotations are not readily available.

Our board of directors makes this fair value determination on a quarterly basis and any other time when a decision regarding the fair value of the portfolio investments is required. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment that does not have a readily available market value in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value recorded us.

We and the Advisors undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter for debt and equity securities whose market prices are not otherwise readily available, as described below:

 

  The quarterly valuation process initially begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by KKR (internal valuation) and/or an independent third party valuation firm retained by us (external valuation) which provides a valuation range.

 

  Valuation recommendations are formulated and documented by KKR and reviewed by KKR’s valuation committee. The valuation committee then provides its valuation recommendation for each investment, along with supporting documentation, to CNL and our management where the valuation recommendations and internal/external valuation documentation are reviewed by CNL and our management.

 

  If our management is satisfied, it will forward the valuation recommendations and supporting documentation for review by our audit committee.

 

  Our board of directors then discusses the investment valuation recommendations with our Advisors and, based on those discussions and the related conclusions of our audit committee, determines the fair value of these investments in good faith.

Depending on the relative liquidity in the markets for certain assets, we may transfer assets to Level 3 if we determine that observable quoted prices, obtained directly or indirectly, are not available. The valuation techniques used for the assets and liabilities that are valued using Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are described below.

 

  Corporate Debt Securities and Corporate Loans, at Estimated Fair Value: Corporate debt securities and corporate loans, at estimated fair value are initially valued at transaction price and are subsequently valued using market data for similar instruments (e.g., recent transactions or indicative broker quotes), comparisons to benchmark derivative indices or valuation models. Valuation models are based on yield analysis and discounted cash flow techniques, where the key inputs are based on relative value analyses and the assignment of risk-adjusted discounted rates, based on the analysis of similar instruments from similar issuers. In addition, an illiquidity discount is applied where appropriate.

 

  Equity Investments, at Estimated Fair Value: Equity investments, at estimated fair value, are initially valued at transaction price and are subsequently valued using observable market prices, if available, or internally developed models in the absence of readily observable market prices. Valuation models are generally based on market and income (discounted cash flow) approaches, in which various internal and external factors are considered. Factors include key financial inputs and recent public and private transactions for comparable investments. Key inputs used for the discounted cash flow approach include the weighted average cost of capital and assumed inputs used to calculate terminal values, such as EBITDA exit multiples. The fair value recorded for a particular investment will generally be within the range suggested by the two approaches. Upon completion of the valuations conducted, an illiquidity discount is applied where appropriate.

 

 

Total Return Swaps, at Estimated Fair Value: We value our TRS in accordance with the TRS agreements between us (or our wholly owned subsidiary) and the TRS counter-party, which collectively established the TRS. Pursuant to the TRS agreements,

 

41


 

the value of the TRS is based on (i) the increase or decrease in the value of the TRS reference assets relative to the notional amounts, together with (ii) accrued interest income and fee income, (iii) TRS financing costs on the TRS settled notional amount, and (iv) certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The TRS reference assets are valued pursuant to the valuation algorithm specified in the TRS Agreements, including reliance on indicative bid prices provided by independent third-party pricing services. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. On a quarterly basis, our management reviews, tests and compares (i) the indicative bid prices assigned to each TRS reference asset by the TRS counter-party, based on the inputs provided by third-party pricing services with (ii) pricing inputs that are independently sourced by our management and/or the Advisors from third-party pricing services. Additionally, our management reviews the calculations of both collected and accrued interest, TRS financing costs, and realized gains and losses that also determine the aggregate fair value of the TRS. For additional disclosures on the TRS, including quantitative disclosures of the current period conclusions of the fair value components, refer to Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Key unobservable inputs that have a significant impact on the Level 3 valuations as described above are included in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. We utilize several unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions in determining the fair value of our Level 3 investments. These unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions may differ by asset and in the application of our valuation methodologies. The reported fair value estimates could vary materially if we had chosen to incorporate different unobservable pricing inputs and other assumptions.

Security Transactions, Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses, and Income Recognition - Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. We measure realized gains or losses from the repayment or sale of investments using the specific identification method. The amortized cost basis of investments includes (i) the original cost and (ii) adjustments for the accretion/amortization of market discounts and premiums, original issue discount and loan origination fees. We report changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums to par value and accretion of discounts to par value. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Premiums and discounts are determined based on the cash flows expected to be collected for a particular investment. In its role as our investment adviser, KKR may provide assistance to portfolio companies and in return may receive fees for capital structuring services. KKR is obligated to remit to us any earned capital structuring fees based on the pro-rata portion of our investment. These fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as earned revenue by us upon closing of the associated investment. Loan origination, closing, commitment and other fees received directly from borrowers in connection with the closing of investments are accreted over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method as interest income. Upon prepayment of a debt investment, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan fees and discounts are recorded as interest income.

We have investments in debt securities that contain a contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. PIK interest computed at the contractual rate specified in the investment’s credit agreement is accrued into income and reflected as interest receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers either the option or the obligation at each interest payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, we capitalize the accrued interest receivable as additional principal due from the borrower. PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. If the portfolio company valuation indicates a value of the PIK investment that is not sufficient to cover the contractual PIK interest, we will not accrue PIK interest or income on the PIK investment and will record an allowance for any accrued PIK interest receivable as a reduction of interest or dividend income in the period we determine it is not collectible. To maintain our status as a RIC, PIK interest income, which is considered taxable income, must be paid out to shareholders in the form of distributions, even though we have not yet collected the cash.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

Loans or debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are at least 90 days past due or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Generally, accrued interest is reversed when a loan or a debt security is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans or debt securities may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans and debt securities are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. We may make exceptions to this treatment if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Foreign Currency Translation, Transactions and Gains/Losses - Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) at the exchange rate on the last business day of the reporting period for the fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities; and (ii) at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective recording dates for the purchase and sale of investment securities, income, expenses, gains and losses.

Net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above and we do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held; therefore the fluctuations related to foreign exchange rate conversion are included with the net realized gain (loss) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from activity in foreign currency forward contracts, sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by us and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Company. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from currency translation for foreign currency forward contracts is included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from foreign currency translation for other receivables or payables is presented as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts is included with unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Management Fees - We accrue for the base management fee (recorded as investment advisory fees) and performance-based incentive fees, including (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains. We record the liability for the incentive fee on capital gains based on a hypothetical liquidation of our Investment Portfolio at the end of each reporting period. Therefore the accrual for incentive fee on capital gains includes the recognition of incentive fee on both net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation, if any, although any such incentive fee associated with net unrealized appreciation is neither earned nor payable to the Advisors until net unrealized appreciation is realized as net realized gains. Additionally the determination of whether the accrued incentive fee associated with net realized gains is earned and payable to the Advisors can only be made at the end of the calendar year. The two components of performance-based incentive fees are combined and expensed on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and accrued on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as accrued performance-based incentive fees.

Federal Income Taxes – We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intend to maintain our qualification as RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes at least 90% of “Investment Company Taxable Income,” as defined in the Code. We intend to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain our RIC status each year and do not anticipate paying a material level of federal income taxes in the future.

We are also generally subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if we do not distribute an amount at least equal to the sum (i) 98% of net ordinary income for a calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of the Company’s capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (iii) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no federal income tax. We may, at our discretion, carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% federal excise tax on this excess taxable income.

We have formed a wholly owned taxable subsidiary (the “Taxable Subsidiary”) which holds certain of our portfolio investments. The Taxable Subsidiary is consolidated for GAAP reporting purposes, and the portfolio investments held by it are included in our consolidated financial statements. The Taxable Subsidiary is not consolidated with our company for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities. This income tax expense, or benefit, if any, and the related tax assets and liabilities are recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, using statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

We recognize in our condensed consolidated financial statements the effect of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. We did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes – Overall –Recognition, nor did we have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal.

Book and tax basis differences relating to permanent book and tax differences are reclassified among our capital accounts, as appropriate. Additionally, the tax character of distributions is determined in accordance with the Code, which differs from GAAP.

OVERVIEW

We are a non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. Formed as a Maryland corporation on June 9, 2010, we are externally managed by CNL Fund Advisors Company (“CNL”) and KKR Asset Management LLC (“KKR”), collectively, the “Advisors”, which are responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring our portfolio on an ongoing basis. Both Advisors are registered as investment advisers with the SEC. CNL also provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate.

Investment Objective, Investment Program and Primary Investment Types

Our investment objective is to provide our shareholders with current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We pursue our investment objective by investing primarily in the debt of privately owned U.S. companies (also referred to as “portfolio companies”) with a focus on originated transactions sourced through the networks of our Advisors. We define originated transactions as any negotiated investment where we, through our Advisors’ direct efforts, provide funds directly to a portfolio company. We also have the ability, as granted through an SEC Exemptive Order, to co-invest in privately negotiated transactions with other investment funds affiliated with KKR (the “Co-Investment Transactions”). A substantial portion of our portfolio consists of direct lending investments, which we believe offer potential opportunities for superior risk-adjusted returns and income generation. Our debt investments may take the form of corporate loans or bonds, may be secured or unsecured and may, in some cases, be accompanied by warrants, options or other forms of equity participation. We may separately purchase common or preferred equity interests in transactions. We may also invest in structured products such as collateralized loan obligations.

As of March 31, 2014, our investment program consisted of two main components. First, since the inception of our investment activities we have been engaged in the direct purchase of debt securities primarily issued by portfolio companies, and these debt securities were acquired through both secondary market and direct lending transactions. We refer to this investment component as our “Investment Portfolio” in this report. Second, beginning in November 2012, we supplemented our economic exposure to portfolio companies by entering into total return swap arrangements (“the TRS”) with a commercial bank counterparty and directing the creation of a portfolio of underlying corporate bonds and loans that serve as reference assets under the TRS. We refer to this investment component as our portfolio of TRS reference assets or “TRS Portfolio” in this report. In the case of our TRS Portfolio, we receive all: (i) realized income and fees and (ii) realized capital gains generated by TRS reference assets. In return, we must pay quarterly to the TRS counterparty a payment consisting of: (i) realized capital losses and (ii) financing costs that are based on a floating interest rate and the notional amount of TRS reference assets. At the end of the TRS contract life, we will receive additional economic benefit if the net value of the TRS Portfolio appreciates relative to its notional amount. Conversely, we will be required to pay the counterparty the amount, if any, by which the net value of the portfolio of TRS reference assets declines relative to its notional amount. We do not own, or have physical custody of, the TRS reference assets. The TRS reference assets are not direct investments by us.

Our investment program is focused on creating and growing an Investment Portfolio that generates superior risk-adjusted returns by carefully selecting investments through rigorous due diligence and actively managing and monitoring our Investment Portfolio. When evaluating an investment in, or investment security issued by, a portfolio company, we use the resources of our Advisors to develop an investment thesis and a proprietary view of a potential portfolio company’s intrinsic value. We believe our flexible approach to investing allows us to take advantage of opportunities that offer the most favorable risk/reward characteristics.

This flexible investment program enables us to primarily focus on four investment types:

 

  Senior Debt. We invest in senior debt, and we generally take a security interest in the available assets of the portfolio company, including equity interests in any of its subsidiaries. These investments generally take the form of senior secured first lien loans, senior secured second lien loans, or senior secured bonds. In some circumstances, our lien could be subordinated to claims of other creditors.

 

  Subordinated Debt. Our subordinated debt investments are generally subordinated to senior debt and are generally unsecured. These investments are generally structured with interest-only payments throughout the life of the security, with the principal due at maturity.

 

  Structured Products. We also invest in structured products, which may include collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), collateralized bond obligations (“CBOs”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), structured notes and credit-linked notes. These investment entities may be structured as trusts or other types of pooled investment vehicles. They may also involve the deposit with or purchase by an entity of the underlying investments and the issuance by that entity of one or more classes of securities backed by, or representing interests in, the underlying investments or referencing an indicator related to such investments.

 

44


  Equity Investments. We also make selected equity investments. In addition, when we invest in senior and subordinated debt, we may acquire warrants or options to purchase equity securities or benefit from other types of equity participation. Our goal is ultimately to dispose of these equity interests and realize gains upon our disposition of such interests.

The level of our investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including: the demand for debt from creditworthy privately owned U.S. companies, the level of merger, acquisition and refinancing activity involving private companies, the availability of credit to finance transactions, the general economic environment, the competitive investment environment for the types of investments we currently seek and intend to seek in the future, the amount of equity capital we raise from offering common stock in our company and the amount of capital we may borrow under our revolving credit facilities.

As a business development company, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we may not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” as specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets as determined at the end of the prior quarter (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Under the relevant SEC rules, the term “eligible portfolio company” includes all private companies, companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, and certain public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market capitalization of less than $250 million. These rules also permit us to include as qualifying assets certain follow-on investments in companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time of initial investment but that no longer meet the definition of eligible portfolio company at the time of the follow-on investment.

Revenues

We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest on the debt securities of portfolio companies that we acquire and hold for investment purposes. Our investments in debt securities generally have an expected maturity of three to ten years, although we have no lower or upper constraint on maturity, and typically earn interest at fixed or floating rates. Interest on our debt securities is generally payable to us quarterly or semi-annually. In some cases, our debt investments may partially defer cash interest payments with payment-in-kind provisions. Any outstanding principal amount of our debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of prepayment fees, commitment fees, origination fees, and fees for providing significant managerial assistance. While the TRS reference assets also generate interest income and fees, such amounts, net of the financing amounts we pay quarterly to the TRS counterparty, are recognized as realized gains pursuant to GAAP when payable to us.

Operating Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of a base management fee and, depending on our operating results, performance-based incentive fees, reimbursable expenses under the investment advisory agreement, interest expense and financing fees, amortization of deferred offering expenses, fund administrative expenses, custody/accounting fees, and third-party expenses incurred under the administrative services agreement. The base management fee and performance-based incentive fees compensate the Advisors for their efforts and resources in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we were net sellers of secondary debt positions in our portfolio which, combined with paydowns, generated $12.20 million in realized gains as we increased our liquidity to prepare for the near-term funding of directly originated investments. The secondary traded high-yield bonds and bank loans continue to experience compression in spreads which translates into lower cost borrowings for companies and low yields for investors. In contrast, our investment focus in private originated transactions to middle market companies continues to experience an illiquidity premium, and a better risk-adjusted return in our view.

Secondary traded high-yield bonds and banks loans enjoyed a fifth consecutive year of positive returns in 2013 and during the first three months of 2014 the record demand for bank loans has continued. Most recently, the introduction of quantitative easing as well as the perceived clarity around forward guidance by the Federal Reserve has helped to reassure investors and potentially remove some of the previous uncertainty which drove technical volatility. Therefore we maintain our stance on corporate credit based on underlying fundamentals but remain vigilant for attractive opportunities in the secondary market as a result of specific situations or changes in technical dynamics.

Moreover, we believe that we are still in the early to middle stages of the cyclical part of the economic recovery. We do not see the credit cycle turning in 2014. The health of middle market companies remains good and we believe there is further room for companies in this space to increase cash flow. In addition, we believe regulations that weigh on bank-lending practices will continue to broaden the investment opportunities for non-bank investors and investment entities. However, it is important to maintain a degree of caution as we progress into 2014. Credit defaults remain abnormally low and we do not assume this rate is sustainable. Continued focus on the fundamentals, including rigorous due diligence, robust credit underwriting and direct structuring of investments we believe best position the portfolio to protect principal and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns.

While the Investment Portfolio and the TRS Portfolio are accounted for, and presented as, two distinct portfolios, the two portfolios had 16 and 23 debt investment positions and 16 and 35 portfolio companies in common as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair value of our Investment Portfolio, excluding our short term investments, decreased by 6% during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and increased by 23% during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2014 is the result largely of sales of secondary market investments to position liquidity optimally for fundings of future Co-Investment Transactions and originated transactions. Similarly, the fair value of our TRS Portfolio decreased by 34% during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and increased by 110% during the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to changes in the underlying TRS Portfolio composition. The utilization of the TRS has declined since December 31, 2013 in order to reallocate capital to fund our Co-Investment Transactions and other originated transactions.

The following information consists of additional segmentation analysis of our Investment Portfolio and TRS Portfolio based on asset categories and debt investment characteristics. However, our investment program is not managed with any specific asset category target goals.

The next two tables summarize the composition of our Investment Portfolio and our TRS Portfolio based on fair value as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, excluding our short term investments.

All of our floating interest rate debt investments have index reset frequencies of less than twelve months with the majority resetting at least quarterly. The three-month LIBOR, the most prevalent index employed among our floating interest rate debt investments, ranged between 0.231% and 0.243% during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the terminal value was 0.231% on March 31, 2014. Interest rate resets for floating interest rate investments will only result in interest income increases when the reset interest rate exceeds the associated interest rate floor.

As of March 31, 2014, the debt investments in our Investment Portfolio were purchased at an average price of 96.8% of par value and our estimated forward-looking debt portfolio yield was 10.5% based on amortized cost. The forward-looking debt portfolio yield is calculated on the debt investments in our Investment Portfolio as the sum of a) the annual interest rate of each debt investment multiplied by its par amount and b) the annual amortization of any discount or premium, divided by the total amortized cost of all debt investments as of March 31, 2014.

As discussed above under “— Overview,” since we received our SEC Exemptive Order, we have increased our focus on originated investments, including Co-Investment Transactions, as a main element of the investment strategy. Since we began originating investments in June 2013, there was no origination activity during the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the following highlights are associated with this investment focus on originated debt investments:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity and investment capital resources are derived primarily from proceeds of our Offerings, borrowings from our credit facilities, cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies, payment of distributions to our shareholders and payment of fees, interest payments on credit facilities and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our credit facilities and proceeds from the turnover of our Investment Portfolio to finance our investment strategy focused on the acquisition of secondary market and originated investments in portfolio companies.

Equity Capital

We raised net proceeds from our Offerings of $132.48 million and $186.45 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, we have raised net proceeds of $1,548.81 million through the sale of 156.73 million shares of common stock since we commenced our Offerings, including the reinvestment of distributions into shares of our common stock.

Credit Facilities

We borrow funds to invest alongside the equity capital proceeds of our Offerings and the proceeds from the turnover of our portfolio. We may issue “senior securities,” including borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions only in amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is greater than 200% after such borrowing incurrence or issuance of our senior securities.

Deutsche Bank Credit Facility

In 2011, our wholly-owned special purpose financing subsidiary CCT Funding LLC (“CCT Funding”) entered into a revolving credit facility agreement as amended, the “Deutsche Bank Credit Facility”) with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”). At the time CCT Funding initially entered into the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, Deutsche Bank was the sole initial lender. In 2013, the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility was amended to provide for, among other things, Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan to become a Lender under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility. On January 28, 2014, CCT Funding entered into an amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility. The Fourth Amendment further amends the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility by providing for, among other things, an upsize of the Tranche B1 Loans from $65 million to $140 million, for total borrowings available under the credit facility of $340 million. As amended, the Tranche B1 Loans are scheduled to mature on January 28, 2015.

CCT Funding has appointed us to manage its investment portfolio pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement. CCT Funding’s obligations to the lenders under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of CCT Funding. The obligations of CCT Funding under the revolving credit facility are non-recourse to us. Approximately 22% of our total Investment Portfolio, including money market investments, was held as collateral at CCT Funding under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility as of March 31, 2014.

We have incurred costs of $1.63 million in connection with arranging and amending the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, primarily consisting of upfront commitment and legal fees. We have recorded these costs as deferred financing costs on our condensed consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and we amortize these costs to interest expense over the life of the credit facility. As of March 31, 2014, $0.72 million of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

As of March 31, 2014, $140.00 million was borrowed and outstanding as Tranche B1 Loans and $91.44 million was borrowed and outstanding as Tranche B2 Loans. The unused commitment balance was $8.56 million under the Tranche B2 Loans commitments and $100.00 million under the Tranche D Loans commitments. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our all-in cost of financing for the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, including fees and expenses, was 2.79% and 2.48%, respectively.

BNP Credit Facility

In 2013, we entered into a committed facility arrangement (the “BNP Credit Facility”) with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc. (“BNP”) under which we may borrow up to $200 million. We subsequently assigned the agreements under the BNP Credit Facility to Paris Funding LLC (“Paris Funding”), our wholly-owned special purpose financing subsidiary. The BNP Credit Facility is secured by certain assets in our portfolio that have been pledged as collateral. The amount of assets that we are required to pledge is determined in accordance with the margin requirements of the BNP Credit Facility. Approximately 7% of our total Investment Portfolio, including money market investments, was pledged as collateral under the BNP Credit Facility as of March 31, 2014. Interest is charged at the annual rate of one month LIBOR plus 1.10% and is payable monthly. We also pay an annual commitment fee on any unused commitment amounts of 0.55% to 0.75%, depending on utilization levels.

As of March 31, 2014, $81.00 million was borrowed and outstanding under the BNP Credit Facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our all-in cost of financing for the BNP Credit Facility, including fees and expenses, was 2.65%. We had not yet entered into the BNP Credit Facility as of March 31, 2013. We have incurred costs of $0.47 million in connection with arranging the BNP Credit Facility, primarily consisting of upfront commitment and legal fees. We have recorded these costs as deferred financing costs on our condensed consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and we amortize these costs to interest expense over the initial one-year term of the credit facility. As of March 31, 2014, $0.09 million of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

In 2013, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), acting as administrative agent. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) consisting of loans to be made in dollars and other foreign currencies in an initial aggregate amount of $285 million. The Senior Secured Credit Facility includes an “accordion” feature that allows us, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility to a maximum of $600 million. As of March 31, 2014, the aggregate loan commitment under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was $320 million. On April 4, 2014, the aggregate loan commitment under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was increased to $490 million.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our portfolio investments and our cash and securities accounts excluding those held by our wholly owned financing subsidiaries, and provides for a guaranty by certain of our subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of investments. The stated borrowing rate under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 2.50%, or on an “alternate base rate” (which is the highest of a prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus an applicable spread of 1.50%, or, with respect to borrowings in non-LIBOR currencies, on a rate applicable to such currency plus an applicable spread of 2.50%. We also pay an annual commitment fee on any unused commitment amounts of between 0.375% and 1.00%, which varies depending on total utilization.

As of March 31, 2014, $119.62 million was borrowed and outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, all of which was denominated in two foreign currencies. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our all-in cost of financing for the Senior Secured Credit Facility, including fees and expenses, was 3.67%. We had not yet entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility as of March 31, 2013. We have incurred costs of $3.95 million in connection with arranging the Senior Secured Credit Facility, primarily consisting of upfront commitment and legal fees. We have recorded these costs as deferred financing costs on our condensed consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and we amortize these costs to interest expense over the initial term of the credit facility. As of March 31, 2014, $3.39 million of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

Total Credit Facility Borrowings

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our total all-in cost of financing, including fees and expenses, was 3.14% and 2.48%, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the ratio of total credit facility borrowings-to-adjusted total assets was 21%. (Adjusted total assets is equal to (i) total consolidated assets excluding (ii) payable for investments purchased.) We will continue to draw on the revolving credit facilities and combine borrowed funds with equity capital to finance our acquisition of investment positions in portfolio companies. Additionally, we may further increase the aggregate borrowing commitment in the future beyond the current combined commitment amount of $860 million that is available to us from our revolving credit facilities, and/or we may add additional credit arrangements. See “Note 11 Revolving Credit Facilities and Borrowings” in our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures regarding our credit facilities.

Total Return Swaps

In 2012, Halifax Funding LLC, (“Halifax Funding”) our wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, entered into a TRS arrangement with The Bank of Nova Scotia (“BNS”). Our TRS arrangement with BNS consists of a set of agreements between Halifax Funding and BNS and State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian) that are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreements. Under the terms of the TRS Agreements, each reference asset in the TRS portfolio constitutes a separate total return swap transaction, although all calculations, payments and transfers required to be made under the TRS are calculated and treated on an aggregate basis, based upon all such transactions.

Pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreements, Halifax Funding may select single-name corporate loans and bonds and create a TRS portfolio with a maximum aggregate notional amount of $500 million. Halifax Funding is required to initially collateralize a specified percentage of each loan or bond (generally, at least 40% of the notional amount of such loan or bond) in accordance with margin requirements stipulated in the TRS Agreements.

Pursuant to Halifax Funding’s limited liability company operating agreement, we are the manager of Halifax Funding and exercise Halifax Funding’s rights under the TRS, including selecting the specific loans or bonds to be included in, or deleted from, the TRS Portfolio. The loans and/or bonds selected by Halifax Funding for purposes of inclusion in the TRS Portfolio are selected by us in accordance with our investment objective. Each selected loan or bond, and the TRS Portfolio taken as a whole, must also meet criteria described in the TRS Agreements. BNS, as calculation agent, determines whether each loan or bond complies with the TRS portfolio criteria. Halifax Funding receives quarterly from BNS all collected interest and fees from the portfolio of TRS reference assets. Halifax Funding pays to BNS interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR+0.80% per annum if the initial investment amount (i.e., posted collateral) equals or exceeds 50% of the notional amount, or three-month LIBOR+1.00% if the initial investment amount is less than 50% of the TRS notional amount. In addition, upon the sale or repayment of any TRS reference asset, Halifax Funding will either receive from BNS the realized gain in the value of such reference asset relative to its notional amount, or pay to BNS any realized loss in the value of the reference asset relative to its notional amount. The required amount of collateral may exceed

 

52


50% of the notional amount in the event that reference asset(s) or groupings of assets exceed certain portfolio concentration limits. As of March 31, 2014, the posted collateral of $36.00 million equals 90% of the total notional amount, as compared to 63% as of December 31, 2013. The required collateral amount as of March 31, 2014 at 40% and 50% of total notional amount was $15.97 million and $19.97 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, we were also required to post additional collateral in the amount of $15.70 million due to concentration limits in the TRS Portfolio.

Under the terms of the TRS Agreements, Halifax Funding may be required to post additional collateral, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of depreciation in the value of the portfolio of TRS reference assets after such value decreases below a specified amount. The minimum additional collateral that Halifax Funding is required to post pursuant to the TRS Agreements is equal to the amount required to ensure that the value of the TRS credit support is equal to 25% of the value of the TRS Portfolio.

The obligations of Halifax Funding under the TRS Agreements are non-recourse to us and our exposure under the TRS Agreements is limited to the amount of collateral that is posted pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreements. We have no contractual obligation to post any collateral or to make any payments on behalf of Halifax Funding to BNS. We may, but are not obligated to, increase our equity capital investment in Halifax Funding for the purpose of funding any additional collateral or payment obligations for which Halifax Funding may become obligated during the term of the TRS Agreements. If we do not make any such additional equity capital investment in Halifax Funding and Halifax Funding fails to meet its obligations under the TRS Agreements, then BNS will have the right to terminate the TRS Agreements and seize the collateral posted by Halifax Funding.

Halifax Funding may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing at least 30 days notice prior to the proposed settlement date of the TRS reference assets related to such termination. In the absence of an early termination, the TRS will terminate on January 15, 2016. In the event of an early termination of the TRS, Halifax Funding may be required to pay a make-whole fee.

All collateral required to be posted under the TRS Agreements is held in the custody of the Custodian. The Custodian will maintain and perform certain custodial services with respect to the collateral pursuant to the Control Agreement. The Control Agreement and the obligations of the Custodian thereunder will continue until BNS has notified the Custodian in writing that all obligations of Halifax Funding under the TRS Agreements have been satisfied.

In connection with the TRS Agreements, Halifax Funding has made customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, financial reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities.

For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to us under the 1940 Act as a business development company, we treat the difference between (i) the TRS notional amount, and (ii) the actual amount of cash collateral posted by Halifax Funding under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of the TRS Agreements. Further, for purposes of determining our compliance with the 70% qualifying asset requirement of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, we treat a TRS reference asset as a qualifying asset if the obligor associated with the TRS reference asset is an eligible portfolio company and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company.

Commitments and Contingencies

Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not reflected on our condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Our unfunded commitments may be significant from time to time. Because these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We intend to use cash flow from normal and early principal repayments, and proceeds from borrowings and common stock offerings to fund these commitments. As of March 31, 2014, our unfunded investment commitments totaled $193.95 million. We maintain sufficient liquidity in the form of cash on hand, cash proceeds from unsettled liquidated investments, and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities to fund such unfunded investment commitments should the need arise.

Distributions Paid and Declared

We pay our monthly distributions in the form of cash. Shareholders may elect to reinvest their ordinary monthly distributions and/or long-term capital gains distributions as additional shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan. Any distributions reinvested under our distribution reinvestment plan remain taxable to the U.S. shareholder.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share and the total amount of distributions that we have declared on our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

and represent an additional source of capital to invest in portfolio companies. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the sources of distributions on a GAAP basis.

Net investment income and realized capital gains represent the primary sources for us to pay distributions. The next table presents other sources of taxable income available for distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

The final determination of taxable income, as well as the tax classifications of the 2014 calendar year paid distributions, is made annually at the end of the year. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we estimate that 100% of our declared distributions were covered by taxable income available for distributions. We do not expect to use equity capital or borrowed funds to pay distributions to shareholders nor do we expect our shareholders to incur a return of capital on a tax basis in connection with paid distributions. We routinely disclose the sources of paid distributions to our shareholders on periodic reports that accompany (i) quarterly account statements and (ii) monthly distribution checks that are prepared and sent directly by our transfer agent to our shareholders.

Results of Operations

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013

Set forth below are our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The growth of our Investment Portfolio since March 31, 2013 is primarily due to the increase in equity capital from our Offerings, and this increase in invested capital contributed to significant increases in investment income, operating expenses, net investment income and net assets between the comparative periods, as discussed below.

Investment Income

Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $49.93 million and $15.35 million, respectively. The largest component of investment income was interest income of $49.65 million and $15.24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in investment income is due primarily to the growth of our Investment Portfolio, which has doubled in size since March 31, 2013. We also generated fee income of $0.28 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $0.01 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. We expect that our Investment Portfolio will continue to grow during 2014 and, accordingly, we believe that reported investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is not presently representative of our stabilized performance. We expect further moderate increases in investment income in future periods due to (i) a growing base of portfolio company investments that we expect to result from the expected increases in equity capital from our Follow-On Offering and borrowed capital, and (ii) additional structuring service fees earned on Co-Investment Transactions. The interest income earned by TRS reference assets is not included in investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, but rather it is included in the TRS fair value, and eventually recorded as part of realized gain or loss on derivative instruments in connection with quarterly TRS settlement payments.

Operating Expenses

                Our total operating expenses were $29.22 million and $12.81 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our operating expenses included $10.68 million and $4.86 million in base management fees attributed to the investment advisory services of our Advisors for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our Advisors are also eligible to receive incentive fees based on performance. We recorded performance-based incentive fee expense of $9.78 million and $4.20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The performance-based incentive fee expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is comprised of subordinated incentive fees on income of $5.16 million and incentive fees on capital gains of $4.62 million. The performance-based incentive fee expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is comprised entirely of incentive fees on capital gains. The incentive fees on capital gains were directly attributable to our net realized and unrealized gains of $23.78 million and $22.04 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, since our accrual for incentive fees on capital gains tracks the overall changes in our realized and unrealized gains (losses). As discussed in “Note 6. Agreements and Related Party Transactions” in our condensed consolidated financial statements, the calculation of performance-based incentive fees disregards any net realized and unrealized gains associated with the TRS interest spread. A portion of performance-based incentive fees on capital gains is accrued with respect to net unrealized appreciation in our Investment Portfolio and derivative instruments. However, the performance-based incentive fee on capital gains with respect to such net unrealized

 

54


appreciation is not payable by us unless and until the net unrealized appreciation is actually realized in a cumulative amount that exceeds any unrealized depreciation that is recorded in our Investment Portfolio, TRS Portfolio and other derivatives.

The following table illustrates the calculation of the incentive fees on income for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Advisors did not earn any incentive fees on income for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The actual amount of incentive fees on capital gains that are due and payable to the Advisors is determined at the end of the calendar year. The following table illustrates the amount of the recorded incentive fee on capital gains that would potentially be payable to the Advisors if (i) the cumulative net realized gains were to remain unchanged, and (ii) the unrealized depreciation in the investment portfolio was to remain unchanged through the end of the current year. However, the relativity between cumulative net realized gains and unrealized depreciation has the potential to change materially based on (i) subsequent investment disposition activity and (ii) changes in market values of investments contributing to unrealized depreciation in the portfolio.

See “—Contractual Obligations, —Investment Advisory Agreements,” below for further details about the performance-based incentive fees.

We recorded interest expense of $4.48 million and $1.32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily in connection with actual borrowings and commitments under our revolving credit facilities. The increase in interest expense is attributable to (i) the increase in our weighted average debt outstanding to $584.92 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $216.16 million the three months ended March 31, 2013, and (ii) an increase in deferred financing costs and commitment fees due to an increase in borrowing capacity.

Our other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 include $1.88 million and $1.09 million in offering expense, $0.68 million and $0.42 million in administrative services expenses, $0.52 million and $0.35 million in professional services expense, $0.20 million and $0.09 million in custodian and accounting fees, $0.17 million and $0.07 million in director fees and expenses and $0.83 million and $0.41 million in other expenses, respectively.

                As our asset base and number of shareholders have grown, our general and administrative expenses have increased, but at a slower rate compared to the growth rate in the asset base. We expect certain variable operating expenses to continue to increase because of the anticipated growth in the size of our asset base and the number of open shareholder accounts. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 the ratio of annualized core operating expenses (excluding investment advisory fees, interest expense and reimbursement of organization and offering expenses, and including net expense support) to average net assets was 0.65%, as compared to 1.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We generally expect core operating expenses to decline as a percentage of our net assets during periods of asset growth over the next several calendar quarters. Incentive fees and interest expense, among other things, may also increase or decrease our overall operating expenses and expense ratios relative to comparative periods depending on portfolio performance, an increase or reduction in borrowed funds and borrowing commitments, and changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, among other factors.

Expense Support Reimbursement Payments - During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we accrued $1.14 million as probable Reimbursement Payment obligation to the Advisors. Accordingly, our payments and accrual of reimbursement of Expense

 

55


Support Payments equaled 100% of cumulative Expense Support Payments as of March 31, 2013. The final reimbursement payment to the Advisors was made during the three months ended March 31, 2014. (See “—Contractual Obligations, —Expense Support Agreement,” below for further details about the Expense Support Agreement. Also see “Note 6. Agreements and Related Party Transactions” included within our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures regarding the Expense Support Payments and Reimbursement Payments.)

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $20.71 million ($0.14 per share) and $1.40 million ($0.02 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The primary drivers of the increase in net investment income per share were (i) the impact of unearned performance-based incentive fees and (ii) accrued reimbursement of expense support payable to the Advisors in the three months ended March 31, 2013. The table below shows net investment income and net investment income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, before the effects of unearned performance-based incentive fees and expense support, which we refer to as adjusted net investment income (non-GAAP).

The increase in net investment income per share can also be partly attributed to the decrease of the TRS Portfolio, which is not a contributor to GAAP net investment income since the TRS Portfolio collected and accrued interest income and TRS financing charges are included in the TRS fair value, and eventually recorded as part of realized gain or loss on derivative instruments in connection with quarterly TRS settlement payments. The following table shows the TRS interest income and financing charges for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Net Realized Gain

We sold investments and received principal payments of $304.51 million and $122.90 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, from which we realized net gains of $12.20 million. Our net realized loss on derivative instruments was $0.19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This realized loss was comprised of a $1.86 million realized gain on the TRS and a $2.05 million realized loss on foreign currency forward contracts. The net realized loss on foreign currency transactions was $1.02 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

We sold investments and received principal payments of $49.52 million and $42.02 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, from which we realized net gains of $1.01 million. Our net realized gain on derivative instruments of $0.87 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was comprised of a $0.23 million realized gain on the TRS and a $0.64 million realized gain on foreign currency forward contracts. We also realized a net gain on foreign currency transactions of $0.01 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Net Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net unrealized appreciation on investments increased by $14.58 million, net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on derivative instruments decreased by $0.17 million and net unrealized appreciation/ depreciation on foreign currency translation decreased by $1.61 million. The increase in net unrealized appreciation on investments consisted of net unrealized appreciation on originated investments of $11.17 million and net unrealized appreciation on the remainder of the Investment Portfolio of $7.97 million, offset by a reduction of $4.56 million for investments owned as of December 31, 2013 that were sold or paid down during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on

 

56


derivative instruments consisted of net unrealized depreciation on the TRS Portfolio of $1.09 million and net unrealized appreciation on foreign currency forward contracts of $0.92 million. The net change in TRS unrealized depreciation consisted of (i) a decrease in spread interest income of $0.86 million, (ii) realized loss on the TRS reference assets of $0.07 million and (iii) unrealized depreciation on the TRS reference assets of $0.16 million. The net change in unrealized depreciation on foreign currency translation consisted of $1.60 million of net unrealized depreciation on the portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility that is denominated in foreign currencies and $0.01 million of net unrealized depreciation on the foreign currency translation of other trade receivables and payables.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 the net change in unrealized appreciation on investments was $13.50 million, the net change in unrealized appreciation on derivative instruments was $6.64 million and the net change in unrealized depreciation on foreign currency translation was $0.01 million. The change in unrealized appreciation on investments was primarily driven by the appreciation in fair values on debt investments, including tighter credit spreads, as recorded in several investment positions held in our Investment Portfolio. The net change in unrealized appreciation on derivative instruments consisted of net unrealized appreciation on the TRS Portfolio of $6.48 million and net unrealized depreciation on foreign currency forward contracts of $0.16 million. The net change in TRS unrealized appreciation consisted of (i) spread interest income of $2.51 million, (ii) a decrease in realized losses on the TRS reference assets of $0.32 million and (iii) unrealized appreciation on the TRS reference assets of $3.65 million.

Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $44.49 million ($0.30 per share) and $23.44 million ($0.33 per share), respectively. In addition to the factors described above, the decrease in earnings per share was the result of net realized and unrealized gains remaining essentially flat year over year, while the weighted average shares outstanding doubled between the comparable periods.

NET ASSETS, NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE, ANNUAL INVESTMENT RETURN AND TOTAL RETURN SINCE INCEPTION

Net assets increased $146.97 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The most significant increase in net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was attributable to capital transactions including (i) new issuance of shares of common stock, and (ii) reinvestment of distributions in the combined amount of $132.47 million. Net investment income contributed $20.71 million to the growth in net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Other increases in net assets were attributable to (i) unrealized appreciation on investments, derivative instruments and foreign currency translation of $12.80 million and (ii) net realized gains of $10.99 million. Distributions to shareholders in the amount of $26.76 million and the repurchase of shares of common stock in the amount of $3.23 million contributed to a reduction in net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Net assets increased $195.34 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The most significant increase in net assets during the million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was attributable to capital transactions including (i) new issuance of shares of common stock, and (ii) reinvestment of distributions in the combined amount of $186.45 million. Net investment income contributed $1.40 million to the growth in net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Other increases in net assets were attributable to (i) unrealized appreciation on investments, derivative instruments and foreign currency translation of $20.15 million and (ii) net realized gains of $1.89 million. Distributions to shareholders in the amount of $13.73 million and the repurchase of shares of common stock in the amount of $0.82 million contributed to a reduction in net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Our net asset value per share was $10.13 and $9.91 on March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. After considering (i) the overall changes in net asset value per share, (ii) paid distributions of approximately $0.18 and $0.195 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and (iii) the assumed reinvestment of those distributions at 90% of the prevailing offering price per share, then the total investment return was 3.09% and 3.65% for shareholders who held our shares over the entire three-month period ending March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Initial shareholders who subscribed to the Initial Offering in June 2011 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $9.00 per share (public offering price net of sales load) have seen the value of their investment grow by 39.8% (see first chart below), or an annualized return of 12.8% (see second chart below). Initial shareholders who subscribed to the Initial Offering in June 2011 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $10.00 per share (the initial public offering price) have registered a total investment return of 25.8% (see first chart below), or an annualized return of 8.6% (see second chart below). The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, a primary measure of senior debt covering the U.S. leveraged loan market which currently consists of approximately 1,100 credit facilities throughout numerous industries, and the Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Index, a primary measure of subordinated debt consisting of approximately 2,000 high yield corporate bonds, registered cumulative total returns of approximately 15.7% and 27.8%, respectively, in the period from June 17, 2011 to March 31, 2014.

Our shares are illiquid investments for which there is not a secondary market, and we do not expect a secondary market in our shares to develop in the future. You should not expect to be able to resell your shares regardless of how we perform. If you are able to sell your shares, you will likely receive less than your purchase price. Our net asset value and annualized returns — which are based in part upon determinations of fair value of Level 3 investments by our board of directors, not active market quotations — are inherently uncertain. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2014.

Contractual Obligations

Investment Advisory Agreements – We have entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with CNL for the overall management of our investment activities. We and CNL have also entered into the Sub-Advisory Agreement with KKR, under which KKR is responsible for the day-to-day management of our Investment Portfolio. CNL compensates KKR for advisory services that it provides to us with 50% of the base management fees and performance-based incentive fees that CNL receives under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, CNL earns a management fee equal to an annual rate of 2% of our average gross assets (including assets purchased with borrowed funds and unsettled trades, unrealized appreciation or depreciation on total return swaps and collateral posted with custodian in connection with TRS, but excluding deferred offering expense), and an incentive fee based on our performance. The incentive fee is comprised of the following two parts:

 

  (i) a subordinated incentive fee on pre-incentive fee net investment income, that is paid quarterly if earned, and it is computed as the sum of (A) 100% of quarterly pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of 1.75% of average adjusted capital up to a limit of 0.4375% of average adjusted capital, and (B) 20% of pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of 2.1875% of average adjusted capital, and

 

  (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains that is paid annually if earned, and it is equal to 20% of (A) all realized gains on a cumulative basis from inception, net of (i) all realized losses on a cumulative basis, (ii) unrealized depreciation at year-end and (iii) disregarding any net realized gains associated with the TRS interest spread (which represents the difference between (a) the interest and fees received on total return swaps, and (b) the financing fees paid to the total return swaps counterparty), and subtracting (B) the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains.

The terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement entitle CNL (and indirectly KKR) to receive up to 5% of gross proceeds in connection with the Offerings as reimbursement for organization and offering expenses incurred by the Advisors on our behalf. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the reimbursement rate was 1% of gross offering proceeds. Through the completion of the Initial Offering, the Advisors were reimbursed in the amounts of $0.90 million for organization expenses and $10.84 million for offering expenses. There are no remaining unreimbursed organization and offering expenses from the Initial Offering. The final reimbursement rate was 0.8% of gross offering proceeds from the Initial Offering. As of March 31, 2014, the Advisors have been reimbursed in the amounts of $1.48 million for offering expenses from the Follow-On Offering, including any payable balances for reimbursement of offering expenses. As of March 31, 2014, the Advisors carried a balance of approximately $1.52 million for expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with the Follow-On Offering, net of (i) incremental offering expenses incurred by the Advisors on our behalf and (ii) our reimbursement payments to the Advisors and any payable balances for reimbursement of offering expenses.

The Advisors are expected to continue to incur offering expenses on our behalf throughout the remainder of the Follow-On Offering period and the reimbursement of the Advisor for offering expenses they incur on our behalf is expected to continue through the termination date of the Follow-On Offering. We expect the reimbursement rate to remain at or below 1.0% of gross offering proceeds for the remainder of the Follow-On Offering. See “Note 6. Agreements and Related Party Transactions” in our condensed consolidated financial statements for expanded discussion of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Expense Support Agreement - We are party to an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement with CNL and KKR (as amended, the “Expense Support Agreement”) pursuant to which CNL and KKR jointly and severally agreed to reimburse us for a specified percentage of our operating expenses (an “Expense Support Payment”). We received Expense Support Payments from the Advisors in the cumulative amount of $2.97 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we made reimbursement payments of $1,136 and $1,830, respectively, to the Advisors. As of March 31, 2014, all Expense Support Payments received from the Advisors have been repaid.

Revolving Credit Facilities –As discussed above under “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources – Credit Facilities,” we, either directly or through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, have entered into several revolving credit facilities. As of March 31, 2014, the credit facilities provided for borrowings in an aggregate amount up to $860.00 million on a committed basis and $432.06 million was borrowed and outstanding under the credit facilities. (See “— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Credit

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, in particular changes in interest rates. Future changes in interest rates will likely have effects on the interest income we earn on our portfolio investments, the fair value of our fixed income investments, the interest rates and interest expenses associated with the money we borrow for investment purposes, and the fair value of loan balances.

Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, we may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. Although hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

As of March 31, 2014, approximately 63.8% of our portfolio of debt investments, or approximately $1,114.02 million measured at par value, featured floating or variable interest rates. The variable interest rate debt investments are usually based on three-month LIBOR (the base rate) and typically have durations of three months after which the base rates are reset to then prevailing three-month LIBOR. At March 31, 2014, approximately 96.9% of our portfolio of variable interest rate debt investments, or approximately $1,080.03 million measured at par value, featured minimum base rates, or base rate floors, and the weighted average base rate floor for such investments was 1.1%. Variable interest rate investments that feature a base rate floor generally reset to the then prevailing three-month LIBOR only if the reset base rate exceeds the base rate floor on the applicable interest rate reset date, in which cases we may benefit through an increase in interest income from such interest rate adjustments. At March 31, 2014, we held an aggregate investment position of $34.00 million at par value in variable interest rate debt investments that featured variable interest rates without any minimum base rates, or approximately 3.1% of our portfolio of variable interest rate debt investments. In the case of these “no base rate floor” variable interest debt investments held in our portfolio, we may benefit from increases in the base rates that may subsequently result in an increase in interest income from such interest rate adjustments.

                Because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income is partially dependent upon the difference between the interest rate at which we invest borrowed funds and the interest rate at which we borrow funds. In periods of rising interest rates and when we have borrowed capital with floating interest rates, then our interest expense would increase, which could increase our financing costs and reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we continue to acquire and hold fixed-rate debt investments. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. Pursuant to the amended terms of our Deutsche Bank Credit Facility as discussed above (see “— Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Credit Facilities”), CCT Funding borrows at a floating base rate of (i) three-month LIBOR plus 1.80% for Tranche B1 Loans ($140.00 million loan balance outstanding), (ii) three-month LIBOR plus 2.325% for Tranche B2 Loans ($91.44 million loan balance outstanding and $8.56 million unused commitment) and (iii) three-month LIBOR plus 2.325% for Tranche D Loans ($100 million unused commitment). Pursuant to the terms of our BNP Credit Facility, Paris Funding borrows at a floating base rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.10% for the credit facility borrowings ($81.00 million loan

 

60


balance outstanding and $119.00 million unused commitment). Pursuant to the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, we borrow at a rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 2.50% or on an “alternate base rate” (which is the highest of a prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus an applicable spread of 1.50%, or, with respect to borrowings in non-LIBOR currencies, on a rate applicable to such currency plus an applicable spread of 2.50% ($119.62 million loan balance outstanding and $201.06 million unused commitment). Therefore, if we were to completely draw down the unused Tranche B2 Loans and Tranche D Loans commitment amounts in our Deutsche Bank facility, the maximum commitment amount in our BNP facility and the maximum commitment in our Senior Secured Credit Facility under an interest election of LIBOR plus 2.50%, we expect that our weighted average direct interest cost will decrease by approximately 8 bps, as compared to our current weighted average direct interest cost for borrowed funds. We expect that any further expansion of the current revolving credit facilities, or any future credit facilities that we or any subsidiary may enter into, will also be based on a floating base rate. As a result, we are subject to continuous risks relating to changes in market interest rates.

Under the terms of the TRS agreements between Halifax Funding and BNS, Halifax Funding pays interest to BNS at a floating rate based on three-month LIBOR in exchange for the right to receive the economic benefits of a portfolio of TRS reference assets having a maximum aggregate notional amount of $500 million.

Assuming that the consolidated schedule of investments as of March 31,2014 was to remain constant with regards to the Investment Portfolio and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity or Investment Portfolio allocations, the upper section of the table below presents an estimated and hypothetical increase in interest income due to an immediate and persistent 12-month increase in the base rates associated with our debt investments featuring variable interest rates.

The middle section of the table below also presents sensitivity analysis for a persistent 12-month increase in the base interest rates that apply to our floating rate credit facility and the associated increase in interest expense, as well as the net effect of change in interest rates on the TRS unrealized appreciation (depreciation). For persistent LIBOR increases of less than 150 basis points, the increase in interest expense eclipses the hypothetical increase in interest income associated with our floating rate debt investments; for a persistent LIBOR increase greater than 150 basis points, the hypothetical increase in interest income associated with our floating rate debt investments begins to provide a positive contribution to net interest income, in both cases assuming that the consolidated schedule of investments as of March 31, 2014 was to remain constant with regards to the Investment Portfolio and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity or Investment Portfolio allocations.

(1)  Pursuant to the TRS Agreements, Halifax Funding receives from BNS all collected interest and fees derived from the TRS reference assets and pays to BNS interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR+80 bps per annum on the settled notional amount of TRS reference assets. As of March 31, 2014, 73.9% of the TRS reference assets, or approximately $29.41 million measured at par value, featured floating or variable interest rates. At March 31, 2014, 100% of the TRS reference assets with variable interest rates featured minimum base rate floors, or approximately $29.41 million measured at par value, and the weighted average base rate floor for such TRS reference assets was 1.4%. As of March 31, 2014, the total notional amount of the portfolio of TRS reference assets was $39.94 million, and the settled notional amount was $37.49 million. For the purpose of presenting this net interest sensitivity analysis, we have assumed that all TRS reference assets are settled as of March 31, 2014 and that the TRS notional amount would equal $39.94 million upon which the financing payments to BNS are based.

The interest rate sensitivity analysis presented above does not consider the potential impact of the changes in value of our debt investments and the net asset value of our common stock in the event of sudden increases in interest rates associated with high

 

61


yield corporate bonds. Approximately 36.2% of our debt Investment Portfolio is invested in fixed interest rate, high yield corporate debt investments. Rising market interest rates will most likely lead to value declines for high yield corporate bonds and a decline in the net asset value of our common stock, while declining market interest rates will most likely lead to an increase in bond values.

As of March 31, 2014, approximately 38.8% of our fixed interest rate debt investments, or approximately $241.11 million measured at fair value have prices that are generally available from third party pricing services. We consider these debt investments to be one of the more liquid subsets of our Investment Portfolio since these types of assets are generally broadly syndicated and owned by a wide group of institutional investors and investment funds. Additionally this group of assets is susceptible to revaluation, or changes in bid-ask values, in response to sudden changes in expected rates of return associated with these investments. We have other fixed interest rate investments in the less liquid subset of our Investment Portfolio that are not included in this analysis.

We have computed a duration of approximately 4.3 for this liquid/fixed subset of our total portfolio. This implies that a sudden increase in the market’s expected rate of return of 100 basis points for this subset of our Investment Portfolio may result in a reduction in value of approximately 4.3%, all other financial and market factors assuming to remain unchanged. A 4.3% decrease in the valuation of this Investment Portfolio subset would equate to a decrease of $0.07, or a 0.7% decline in net asset value relative to $10.13 net asset value per share as of March 31, 2014.

Foreign Currency Risk

From time to time, we may make investments that are denominated in a foreign currency through which we may be subject to foreign currency exchange risk. As of March 31, 2014, 17.7% of our portfolio of debt investments, or approximately $308.74 million measured at par value was denominated in foreign currencies, of which 74.1% was denominated in Euros. The remaining foreign currency investments are denominated in British Pound Sterling and New Zealand dollars. We may use derivative instruments from time to time, including foreign currency forward contracts, to manage the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As of March 31, 2014, the net contractual notional balance of our foreign currency forward contracts totaled $203.28 million, all of which related to certain of our foreign currency denominated debt investments. In order to further reduce our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates, we also have outstanding borrowings in Euros and New Zealand dollars under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. The U.S. dollar equivalent of our Euro and New Zealand dollar borrowings was $84.04 million and $35.58 million, respectively as of March 31, 2014. Fluctuations in exchange rates therefore impact our financial condition and results of operations, as reported in U.S. dollars. During the three months ended, the foreign currency translation adjustment recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations was net unrealized depreciation of $1.61 million. Our foreign currency forward contracts had unrealized appreciation of $0.92 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The unrealized foreign currency losses were primarily as a result of changes in the exchange rates between the Euro and the U.S. dollar and between the New Zealand dollar and the U.S. dollar. We do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held; therefore the fluctuations related to foreign exchange rate conversion are included with the net realized gain (loss) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.
