The PIK interest is computed at the contractual rate specified in each note and is added to the principal balance of the note and recorded as interest income as earned. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was accruing PIK interest on each of its payment-in-kind notes, and none of such notes were on non-accrual status.
(6)As of March 31, 2016, approximately 99% of the Company's total assets constituted qualifying investments under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Qualifying assets must represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets at the time of acquisition of any additional non-qualifying assets.

Note 1 - Description of Business

 

Crossroads Capital, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly known as BDCA Venture, Inc., was incorporated on May 9, 2008 under the laws of the State of Maryland and is an internally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Effective December 2, 2015, the Company changed its name from BDCA Venture, Inc. to Crossroads Capital, Inc. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Company commenced its portfolio company investment activities in January 2010. The shares of the Company's common stock have been listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market since December 12, 2011.

 

On October 5, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) determined that the Company will no longer make investments in new venture capital-backed or high growth companies and will now shift its focus to the orderly monetization of the Company’s current holdings.

 

Effective January 20, 2016, the Board changed the Company’s investment objective to preserve capital and maximize stockholder value (the “Investment Objective”) by pursuing the sale of the Company’s portfolio investments, limiting expenses and deploying surplus cash as appropriate, including into yielding investments to offset, in part, operating expenses. On March 25, 2016, the Board resolved to monetize the Company’s portfolio holdings at the earliest practicable date and on May 3, 2016, approved a Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Company will convert into a liquidating trust with the sole purpose of liquidating the Company’s assets and distributing the proceeds to the Company’s stockholders. The Plan is subject to the approval of the stockholders, which the Board will seek at a special meeting called for the purpose of approving the Plan and certain related matters as detailed in the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 5, 2016.

 

The Board cannot estimate the expected value that the liquidating trust will receive for the sale or other monetization of the Company’s portfolio investments and it is possible that the final liquidation value of the Company’s portfolio investments may be less than the value an investor might receive from pursuing a strategy of holding such investments through any potential initial public offering. Prior to its approval by the stockholders and conversion into the liquidating trust, the Board reserves the right to consider additional strategic alternatives.

 

On October 5, 2015, the Board approved the termination of the Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement dated July 1, 2014 (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") between the Company and its investment adviser, BDCA Venture Adviser, LLC. The effective date of termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement was December 6, 2015 (the "Termination Date").

 

On November 10, 2015, the Board approved the Company’s engagement of US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC ("US Bancorp") to provide administration and accounting services. On May 3, 2016, the Board announced the termination of its agreement with US Bancorp, effective as of March 29, 2016. See Note 13 – Subsequent Events.

 

On November 13, 2015, the Board approved the engagement of 1100 Capital Consulting, LLC (the “Administrator”) to provide administrative consulting services to the Company, including the provision of personnel to act as certain of the Company’s executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  

 

Effective December 2, 2015, the Board appointed Ben H. Harris to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, David M. Hadani to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, both officers of the Administrator, and Stephanie L. Darling to serve as the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer.

 

The Company has entered into agreements with MidFirst Bank to be the custodian of its portfolio securities and Frontier Bank to be the custodian of the majority of its cash and cash equivalent assets.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, all of which were of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The results of operations for the current period are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2016. The interim unaudited financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period.

 

Valuation of Investments

 

The Company’s investments consist of securities issued by private and publicly traded companies consisting of preferred stock, common stock, subordinated convertible bridge notes, subordinated secured notes and warrants to purchase preferred stock which are included on the Company's Schedule of Investments.

 

Investments are stated at value as defined under the 1940 Act, in accordance with the applicable regulations of the SEC, and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures," ("ASC 820"). Value, as defined in Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, is: (i) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available, and (ii) the fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors for all other assets. See Note 3 - Portfolio Investments and Fair Value. The 1940 Act requires periodic valuation of each investment in the Company’s portfolio to determine the Company’s net asset value. Under the 1940 Act, unrestricted securities with readily available market quotations are to be valued at the closing market price on the valuation date; all other assets must be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

 

Given the nature of investing in the securities of private companies, the Company’s investments are generally considered Level 3 assets under ASC 820 until these portfolio companies become public and begin trading on a stock exchange and the securities are no longer subject to any post-initial public offering lockup restrictions. As such, the Company values all of its investments, other than unrestricted securities in publicly traded portfolio companies, at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, pursuant to a consistent valuation policy in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820 and the 1940 Act.

 

Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty in determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments determined in good faith by its Board of Directors may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and the differences could be material. Changes in fair value of these investments are recorded in the Company’s Statement of Operations as "Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)."

 

The Company has a lead valuation director, who is a non-interested member of the Board and acts as the liaison between the Board and the Company’s management for valuing the Company's investments. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

On a quarterly basis, each portfolio company will be analyzed based on the portfolio company’s most recently available historical and projected financial results, public market comparables, equity or other transactions and other factors.

The Company’s management or an independent valuation firm, if involved, will conduct appraisals and make an assessment of the fair value of each investment, which will be used in deriving a preliminary valuation.

 

The Company's lead valuation director will review and discuss the preliminary valuations with the Company’s management and the assistance of the independent valuation firm, if any.

 

The Board will discuss the valuations and determine, in good faith, the fair value of each investment in the portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available based on the input of the Company’s management, the independent valuation firm, if any, and the lead valuation director.

 

For the March 31, 2016 valuation of the Company’s portfolio investments that are not publicly traded, the Administrator assisted the Board in its determination of the value of each of the investments in the Company’s portfolio and no independent valuation firm was engaged to assist in the quarterly valuation process.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). In accordance with ASC 820, the Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.

 

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The Company applies the framework for determining fair value as described above to the valuation of investments in each of the following categories:

 

Equity Investments

 

Equity investments for which market quotations are readily available in an active market are generally valued at the most recently available closing market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets. However, equity investments for which market quotations are readily available, but which are subject to lockup provisions restricting the resale of such investments for a specified period of time, are valued at a discount to the most recently available closing market prices and, accordingly, are classified as Level 3 assets.

 

The fair values of the Company’s equity investments for which market quotations are not readily available are determined based on various factors and are classified as Level 3 assets. To determine the fair value of a portfolio company for which market quotations are not readily available, the Company may analyze the portfolio company’s most recently available historical and projected financial results, public market comparables and other factors. The Company may also consider other events, including the transaction in which the Company acquired its securities, subsequent equity sales by the portfolio company, mergers or acquisitions affecting the portfolio company or the completion of an initial public offering ("IPO") by the portfolio company. In addition, the Company may consider the trends of the portfolio company’s basic financial metrics from the time of its original investment until the measurement date, with material improvement of these metrics indicating a possible increase in fair value, while material deterioration of these metrics may indicate a possible reduction in fair value. The fair values of the Company’s portfolio company securities are generally discounted for lack of marketability or when the securities are illiquid. See Note 3 - Portfolio Investments and Fair Value.

In cases where a portfolio company completes a subsequent financing with different rights and preferences than the equity securities the Company holds, or where the Company owns common stock in a portfolio company with preferred stock outstanding or where a merger or acquisition event involving a portfolio company has been completed or is pending, the Company may consider the aforementioned transaction to estimate the portfolio company's equity value.

 

In determining the value of equity or equity-linked securities (including warrants to purchase common or preferred stock) in a portfolio company, the Company considers the rights, preferences and limitations of such securities. In cases where a portfolio company's capital structure includes multiple classes of preferred and common stock and equity-linked securities with different rights and preferences, the Company may use an option pricing model to allocate value to each equity and equity-linked security, unless it believes a liquidity event such as an acquisition or a dissolution is imminent or the portfolio company is unlikely to continue as a going concern.

 

The Monte Carlo method may also be used to derive an expected value of a security based on results obtained from a large number of simulations and assumptions used in application of the method.

 

Debt Investments

 

Given the nature of the Company’s current debt investments, principally convertible bridge notes issued by venture capital-backed portfolio companies, these investments are Level 3 assets under ASC 820 because there is no known or accessible market for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. Since the Company invested in convertible bridge notes for the primary purpose of potential conversion into equity at a future date, the fair value of the Company’s convertible debt investments for which market quotations are not available may be determined on an as-converted to equity basis using the same factors and methodologies the Company uses to value its equity investments. In making a good faith determination of the value of its convertible debt investments, the Company generally starts with the cost basis of the investment, which includes the value attributed to the original issue discount, if any, and payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest which has been accreted to principal as earned.

 

If the Company determines that there is a low likelihood that its convertible debt investments will be converted into equity or repaid, the Company applies a procedure that assumes a sale of the investment in a hypothetical market to a hypothetical market participant where buyers and sellers are willing participants. The hypothetical market does not include scenarios where the underlying security was simply repaid or extinguished, but includes an exit concept. As part of this process, the Company will evaluate the creditworthiness of the portfolio company, its ability to meet its current debt obligations, the collateral (if any) for recoverability of the debt investment in the event of default and whether the security lien, if any, is subordinated to senior lenders. The Company may also use pricing of recently issued comparable debt securities, if any, to determine the baseline hypothetical market yield as of the measurement date. The Company considers each portfolio company’s credit rating, if any, security liens and other characteristics of the investment to adjust the baseline yield to derive a hypothetical yield for each debt investment as of the measurement date. The anticipated future cash flows from each debt investment are then discounted at the hypothetical yield to estimate each debt investment’s fair value as of the measurement date.

 

Funds Held in Escrow from Sale of Investments

 

Funds held in escrow from the sale of investments ("Escrowed Funds") are valued at fair value by the Company's Board using certain indemnity risk and deferred payment discounts applied to the amounts withheld.

 

Interest and Dividend Income

 

Interest income from certificates of deposit and other short-term investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected and accrued interest income is evaluated periodically for collectability. PIK interest represents contractually deferred interest computed at a contractual rate specified in the loan agreement. PIK interest may be prepaid by either contract or the portfolio company’s election, but generally is paid at the end of the loan term. PIK interest is added to the principal balance of the loan and is generally recorded as interest income on an accrual basis to the extent such PIK interest is expected to be collected. The Company recorded PIK interest income of $10,767 and $9,549 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. See "Income Taxes" below.

When one of the Company’s loans becomes more than 90 days past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the portfolio company to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will, as a general matter, place the loan on non-accrual status and generally will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest has been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, the Company may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. If the fair value of a loan is below cost, the Company may cease recognizing PIK interest on the debt investment until such time that the fair value equals or exceeds cost.

 

Net Realized Gain or Loss and Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

 

Net realized gain or loss is recognized when a portfolio company investment or other financial asset is disposed of and is computed as the difference between the Company's cost basis in such investment or asset at the disposition date and the net proceeds received from such disposition (after reduction for commissions and other selling expenses). Net realized gains and losses on transactions involving portfolio company investments and other financial assets are determined by specific identification. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation is computed as the difference between the fair value of the portfolio company investment or other financial asset and the cost basis of such investment or asset.

 

Income Taxes

 

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company elected to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. To maintain RIC tax treatment, the Company must meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute annually at least 90% of its "investment company taxable income" as defined in the Code.

 

Due to the Company's limited number of investments, it closely monitors its asset composition in order to continue to satisfy the asset diversification test and maintain its status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, in addition to other requirements, as of the close of each quarter end, the Company must meet the asset diversification test, which requires that at least 50% of the value of its assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government securities or certain other qualified securities (the "50% Threshold"). However, the failure to meet the 50% Threshold alone will not result in the Company's loss of RIC status. In circumstances where the failure to meet the 50% Threshold is the result of fluctuations in the value of the Company's assets, including as a result of the sale of assets, the Company will still be deemed to have satisfied the 50% Threshold and, therefore, maintain its RIC status, provided that the Company has not made any new investments in non-qualifying securities, including additional investments in non-qualifying securities of existing portfolio companies, since the time that the Company fell below the 50% Threshold. As of March 31, 2016, the Company did not meet the 50% Threshold, however, such failure was due to fluctuations in the value of its assets. Accordingly, the Company satisfied the diversification requirement as of March 31, 2016.

 

As a RIC, the Company generally will not have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any investment company taxable income or any realized net capital gains that the Company distributes to its stockholders as dividends. Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. In addition, taxable income generally excludes any unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

 

The Company is not required to distribute its realized net capital gains, if any, to stockholders to maintain RIC tax treatment. However, the Company generally will have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any realized net capital gains that the Company does not distribute to its stockholders. In the event the Company retains any of its realized net capital gains, the Company may designate the retained amount as a deemed distribution to stockholders and will be required to pay corporate-level tax on the retained amount.

 

The Company would also be subject to certain nondeductible federal excise taxes imposed on RICs if it fails to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (i) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for the calendar year, if any, and (iii) any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no federal income taxes. The Company will not be subject to this excise tax on amounts on which the Company is required to pay corporate income tax.

Dividends and Distributions

 

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders must be approved by the Company’s Board and any dividend payable is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

The Company may fund cash dividends and distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to the Company. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make dividends or distributions. See Note 7 - Dividends and Distributions.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

Portfolio Company Investment Activity

 

The Company had the following portfolio company activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2016:

 

On January 13, 2016, Suniva closed a stock-for-stock merger transaction with SFCE. As a result, the Company’s 10.022 shares of Series F preferred stock and 197.942 shares of Series D preferred stock were exchanged for 2,844 shares of Suniva Class A common stock and 820,868 shares of SFCE common stock. The shares of SFCE common stock were subject to a lockup period which expired in February 2016.

 

On January 15, 2016, $606,984 was released to the Company from the Xtime escrow without any offset for indemnity claims.

 

On January 20, 2016, the Board of Directors approved and, on January 25, 2016, the Company signed an indication of interest to purchase additional Series B preferred stock in Harvest Power as part of a “pay-to-play” extension offering of Series B preferred stock (the “Series B Extension”). On February 17, 2016, the Company purchased 244,039 shares of Series B preferred stock in Harvest Power for a total of $244,039. These newly purchased shares of Series B preferred stock have the same rights and preferences as the Company’s existing Series B preferred stock, with the exception that all of the Company’s Series B preferred stock now has a preferred-to-common conversion ratio of 1-to-1.5 versus 1-to-0.5301 previously. Any Series B stockholder that did not elect to purchase their pro rata share of the Series B Extension was subject to a mandatory conversion of their Series B preferred shares and Series A preferred shares into common stock. As part of this financing, participating stockholders were also offered the opportunity to purchase newly created Series B-1 preferred shares. The Company did not elect to purchase any Series B-1 preferred shares in this offering.

 

On March 22, 2016, BrightSource advised the Company that it was negotiating a further extension of the maturity date with the holders of the July 2014 and August 2014 promissory notes, which were issued to the Company in the initial principal amount of $107,977, and the convertible bridge notes, which were issued to the Company in the initial principal amount of $205,193. See Note 13 – Subsequent Events.

Significant Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Portfolio Company Securities

 

In accordance with ASC 820, the tables set forth below provides quantitative information about the Level 3 fair value measurements of the Company’s portfolio company investments and Escrowed Funds as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the tables below, according to the Company’s valuation policy, the Company may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the Company’s fair value measurements. The below tables are not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provide information on the significant Level 3 inputs as they relate to the Company’s fair value measurements. To the extent an unobservable input is not reflected in the table below, such input is deemed insignificant or is not applicable with respect to the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Significant changes in the inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the fair value measurement, depending on the input and the materiality of the investment:

 

   March 31, 2016 
Investment Type  Fair Value   Valuation Techniques /
Methodologies
  Unobservable Input (1)  Range   Weighted
Average (2)
 
Level 3 Portfolio Company Investments: Preferred Stock  $25,850,000   Comparable public companies  Revenue multiple   1.4   to   5.3    2.8 
           EBITDA multiple   8.6   to   9.0    8.9 
           Discount for lack of marketability   9%  to   29%   13%
Level 3 Portfolio Company Investments: Preferred Stock Warrants  $450,000   Comparable public companies  Revenue multiple   2.0   to   2.0    2.0 
           Discount for lack of marketability   6%  to   6%   6%
Level 3 Portfolio Company Investments: Common Stock  $170,000   Comparable public companies  Revenue multiple   2.1   to   2.1    n/a 
           Discount for lack of marketability   17%  to   32%   17%
Level 3 Portfolio Company Investments: Subordinated Convertible Bridge Notes and Subordinated Secured Notes  $590,212   Comparable public companies  Revenue multiple   2.1   to   2.1    2.1 
           Discount for lack of marketability   15%  to   15%   15%
Level 3 Funds Held in Escrow From Sale of Investment  $81,858   Escrow Discounts  Indemnity risk discount   4%  to   4%   4%
           Deferred payment discount   10%  to   10%   10%

 

(1)The significant unobservable inputs that may be used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s portfolio company investments in convertible preferred stock, common stock and warrants to purchase common or preferred stock for which market quotations are not readily available include: (i) revenue multiples for comparable transactions, (ii) revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and price to earnings multiples (collectively, "Multiples") for comparable public companies, (iii) discount rates and terminal year Multiples for comparable public companies applied in a discounted cash flow analysis of the portfolio company; and (iv) a discount for lack of marketability ("DLOM"). For some portfolio company investments, additional consideration may be given to data from a prior or contemporaneous financing transaction, the last round of financing or a merger or acquisition event near the measurement date (collectively, a "Precedent Transaction"). Inputs used in deriving an appropriate DLOM include the time frame in which the portfolio company expects to pursue or complete an IPO or sale/merger and, where put option models are used to estimate the price of a plain-vanilla, at-the-money put option and the price of an average-strike put option, inputs may include a range of term and volatility assumptions. A change in the assumptions used for Precedent Transactions and Multiples may indicate a directionally similar change in the fair value of the Company’s portfolio company investments in convertible preferred stock or common stock, while a change in the assumptions used for discount rate and DLOM may indicate a directionally opposite change in the fair value of the portfolio company investment.

 

Additional inputs that may be used in the option pricing model include the volatility of equity in comparable public companies, the risk free interest rate and the estimated time to exit. The significant unobservable input used in the option pricing model for valuing certain of the Company’s portfolio company investments in convertible preferred stock, common stock and preferred and common stock warrants for which market quotations are not readily available is the volatility of equity in comparable public companies. A change in the assumption used for equity volatility may indicate a directionally similar change in the fair value of the convertible preferred stock, common stock and preferred and common stock warrant investments.

 

Since the Company has invested in convertible debt investments, principally convertible bridge notes, for the primary purpose of potential conversion into equity at a future date, the significant unobservable inputs that may be used in the fair value measurement of its convertible debt investments on an as-converted to equity basis are the same inputs used by the Company to value its equity securities (including convertible preferred stock). An option pricing model valuation technique may also be used to derive the fair value of the conversion feature of convertible notes. If the Company determines that there is a low likelihood that its convertible debt investments will be converted into equity or repaid the significant unobservable inputs that may be used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s convertible debt investments are hypothetical market yields and premiums/(discounts). For non-convertible debt investments, which the Company generally holds for cash payment at maturity, the significant unobservable inputs that may be used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s non-convertible debt are hypothetical market yields and premiums/(discounts). The hypothetical market yield is defined as the exit price of an investment in a hypothetical market to hypothetical market participants where buyers and sellers are willing participants. The premiums (discounts) relate to company specific characteristics such as underlying investment performance, collateral, and other characteristics of the investment. In certain investments, the Company may value its convertible and non-convertible debt investments using a liquidation approach in which case the realizable value of the collateral would be a significant unobservable input.

 

Funds held in escrow from the sale of investments are valued using certain indemnity risk and deferred payment discounts applied to the amounts withheld.

The Company reimbursed BDCA Venture Adviser for the allocable portion of compensation of its Chief Compliance Officer during the three months ended March 31, 2015, with such expense included in the payment of administrative expenses allocated from BDCA Venture Adviser for the period. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had expenses payable to its Chief Compliance Officer of $4,000 and $4,000, respectively.

 

Former Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement

 

BDCA Venture Adviser, LLC previously served as the Company’s investment adviser and also provided the Company with administrative services pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. On October 5, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Company and BDCA Venture Adviser effective as of the Termination Date. The Investment Advisory Agreement, which was entered into on July 1, 2014, was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 16, 2014. All payments due under the Investment Advisory Agreement as of the Termination Date were mutually agreed upon between the Company and BDCA Venture Adviser and subsequently paid by the Company.

 

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company paid BDCA Venture Adviser a fee for its investment advisory services consisting of two components: (i) a base management fee and (ii) an incentive fee.

 

The base management fee (the "Base Fee") was calculated at an annual rate of 2% of the Company’s gross assets, where gross assets include any borrowings for investment purposes. The Base Fee was calculated based on the value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter and adjusted for any equity capital raises or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. The Company paid the Base Fee through the Termination Date at which time BDCA Venture Adviser’s obligation to provide services to the Company ended. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred Base Fees of $365,293. The Investment Advisory Agreement was not in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The incentive fee was determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equaled 20% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees. For purposes of calculating the incentive fee, realized capital gains and losses include both short-term and long-term capital gains and losses. The incentive fee actually payable to BDCA Venture Adviser was consistent with the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BDCA Venture Adviser was not entitled to an incentive fee on investment income generated from interest or dividends on the Company's portfolio company investments.

 

BDCA Venture Adviser earned an incentive fee of $635,241 during the year ended December 31, 2014. This earned incentive fee for the 2014 year was due and payable to BDCA Venture Adviser as of December 31, 2014 and was paid by the Company in March 2015. BDCA Venture Adviser did not earn any incentive fees during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Investment Advisory Agreement was not in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

For accounting purposes only, the Company was required under U.S. GAAP to accrue a theoretical incentive fee based upon unrealized appreciation at the end of each period while the Investment Advisory Agreement was in effect. The accrual of this theoretical incentive fee assumed all unrealized balances were realized in order to reflect an incentive fee that would theoretically have been payable to BDCA Venture Adviser. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded a reduction of theoretical incentive fees of $99,756. The Investment Advisory Agreement was not in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

The Company also reimbursed BDCA Venture Adviser for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by BDCA Venture Adviser in performing its administrative obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the allocable portion of compensation of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer, and their respective staff. The Company reimbursed BDCA Venture Adviser for allocable administrative expenses through the Termination Date at which time BDCA Venture Adviser’s obligation to provide services to the Company ended. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred $126,104 of administrative expenses allocated from BDCA Venture Adviser. The Investment Advisory Agreement was not in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

BDCA Venture Adviser agreed that, to the extent that the Company's Adjusted Operating Expenses (as defined below) in 2015 exceeded $1,500,000 (the “Excess Amount”), BDCA Venture Adviser would, without recourse against or reimbursement by the Company, waive Reimbursable Expenses (as defined below) due and owing by the Company and/or pay on behalf of the Company certain Adjusted Operating Expenses, in such amounts so that the total of the waived Reimbursable Expenses and expenses paid by BDCA Venture Adviser on behalf of the Company equaled the Excess Amount. "Adjusted Operating Expenses" was defined as the Company's total operating expenses less Base Fees, incentive fees, any stock issuance costs, any costs related to borrowings by the Company (including any interest and fees), any litigation costs, expenses or fees and any extraordinary expenses. For purposes of clarity, any operating expenses incurred by BDCA Venture Adviser and reimbursable by the Company with respect to 2015 (“Reimbursable Expenses”) are included in Adjusted Operating Expenses.

 

For accounting purposes, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded quarterly amounts due from BDCA Venture Adviser, representing the amount by which its Adjusted Operating Expenses for the quarter exceeded the prorated amount of the annualized $1,500,000 Adjusted Operating Expense threshold for such quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded expenses waived or reimbursed from BDCA Venture Adviser of $176,184. No such agreement existed during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Services Provided by Related Parties

 

RCS Advisory Services, LLC ("RCS Advisory"), an affiliated entity of BDCA Venture Adviser, previously provided the Company with legal services, website design and maintenance, and investor relations services. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred $1,755 of legal services, $248 of website design and maintenance and $12,750 of investor relations services provided by RCS Advisory. RCS Advisory no longer provides the Company with services in connection with the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement effective as of the Termination Date.

Joint Liability Insurance Agreement

 

On August 28, 2015, the Company entered into a joint liability insurance agreement with BDCA Venture Adviser which allocates the premium cost of the Company's directors and officers liability insurance policy (the "D&O Policy") and the Company's excess coverage policy (the "Excess Policy") between the Company and BDCA Venture Adviser. The D&O Policy covers the Company's directors and officers, insures the Company against loss that it may be required or permitted to pay as indemnities of the Company's directors and officers, and insures the Company for certain securities claims. The Company also maintains an Excess Policy which provides for excess coverage to the Company's officers and directors in the case of non-indemnifiable claims. The coverages under the D&O Policy and the Excess Policy in certain cases extend to the officers, managers and employees of BDCA Venture Adviser. For the policy year ending August 28, 2016, 10% of the total D&O Policy premium and 10% of the total Excess Policy premium has been allocated to and paid by BDCA Venture Adviser.

 

Other Transactions with Related Parties

 

On March 25, 2016, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the reimbursement of $125,157 in legal and proxy solicitation costs incurred by Bulldog Investors, LLC (“Bulldog”), a stockholder and beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, as a result of the contested proxy campaign in connection with the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting. This reimbursement was paid to Bulldog on March 30, 2016 and included the costs of Bulldog’s litigation against the Company in the Circuit Court of Maryland and the New York Supreme Court and costs associated with the proxy process and the election of the Company’s new Board of Directors.

 

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is required to review and approve any transactions with related parties (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).

 

Note 5 - Equity Offerings and Related Costs

 

The Company did not issue any new shares of its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Note 6 - Stock Repurchases

 

On November 10, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $1 million for a six month period to expire on May 10, 2016. On January 20, 2016, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to this stock repurchase program to allow for greater flexibility, by narrowing the current “blackout” period during which the Company is prohibited from purchasing shares, and increasing the size of the program from $1 million to $2 million. On May 9, 2016, the Board authorized an extension of the Company’s stock repurchase program for an additional six months to expire on November 10, 2016. Under the repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock in open market transactions, including through block purchases, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors. This stock repurchase program may be extended, modified or discontinued at any time for any reason. Furthermore, the repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and all repurchases will be made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company repurchased 6,408 shares of its common stock at an average price of $2.12 per share, including commissions, with a total cost of $13,608. The Company retired all 6,408 shares of its repurchased common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2016, with $6 of the total cost of the retired shares charged to common stock and $13,602 charged to additional paid-in capital. The Company's net asset value per share was not changed as a result of the shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The weighted average discount to net asset value per share of the shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 58%.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 117,510 shares of its common stock at an average price of $4.96 per share, including commissions, for a total cost of $582,468. The Company retired all 117,510 shares of its repurchased common stock during the year ended December 31, 2015, with $118 of the total cost of the retired shares charged to common stock and $582,350 charged to additional paid-in capital. The Company's net asset value per share increased by $0.02 per share as a result of the shares repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2015. The weighted average discount to net asset value per share of the shares repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2015 was 24%.

Since March 31, 2016, the Company has repurchased 18,808 shares of its common stock at an average price of $2.65 per share, including commissions, with a total cost of $49,775. See Note 13 – Subsequent Events.

 

The Company accounted for the repurchases of its common stock under the cost method based on the actual cost of the repurchases.

 

Note 7 - Dividends and Distributions

 

Distributions to the Company’s stockholders are payable only when and as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors and are paid out of assets legally available for distribution.

 

The Company did not declare any distributions to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The following table summarizes the Company’s distributions declared for the year ended December 31, 2015:

 

Date Declared  Record Date  Payment Date  Amount
Per Share
   Source of Distribution
2015 Dividends:              
March 26, 2015  April 15, 2015  April 29, 2015  $0.15   Return of Capital
March 26, 2015  June 11, 2015  June 25, 2015   0.15   Return of Capital
March 26, 2015  September 11, 2015  September 25, 2015   0.15   Return of Capital
March 26, 2015  December 4, 2015  December 18, 2015   0.15   Return of Capital
Total – 2015 Dividends      0.60    

 

The Company generally pays distributions to its stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution, as determined by the Board of Directors, with the intention of distributing 100% of the Company's net realized capital gains annually.

 

On March 25, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a distribution policy with the objective to make special distributions to stockholders as declared by the Board of Directors in its discretion. Based on the Board of Directors’ recent change to the Company’s investment objective to preserve capital and maximize stockholder value and resolution to monetize the Company’s portfolio holdings at the earliest practicable date, the Company will no longer pay regular quarterly distributions to its stockholders.

 

If the Company’s distributions for any year exceed the Company's net investment income and net realized capital gains, the difference will be distributed from the Company's capital and will constitute a return of capital to its stockholders.

 

In the event the Company retains some or all of its realized net capital gains, the Company may designate the retained amount as a deemed distribution to stockholders. In such case, among other consequences, the Company will pay corporate-level tax on the retained amount, each U.S. stockholder will be required to include its share of the deemed distribution in income as if it had been actually distributed to the U.S. stockholder and the U.S. stockholder will be entitled to claim a credit or refund equal to its allocable share of the corporate-level tax the Company pays on the retained realized net capital gain.

 

For income tax purposes, distributions paid to stockholders are reported as ordinary income, return of capital, long-term capital gains or a combination thereof.

 

The Company maintains a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") that provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder has elected to receive dividends in cash. As a result, if the Company declares a dividend, stockholders who have not "opted out" of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of common stock. Although the Company has a number of options to satisfy the share requirements of the DRIP, it currently expects that the shares required to be purchased under the DRIP will be acquired through open market purchases of common stock by the DRIP administrator. The shares purchased in the open market to satisfy the DRIP requirements will be valued based upon the average price of the applicable shares purchased by the DRIP administrator.

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into investment agreements under which it commits to make an investment in a portfolio company at some future date or over a specified period of time. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had not entered into any investment agreements which required it to make a future investment in a portfolio company.

 

On October 15, 2015, Suniva completed a stock-for-stock merger transaction with SFCE. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the Company is required to indemnify SFCE for certain breaches of warranties and representations made to SFCE, subject to a cap of approximately 12.5% of the merger consideration received by the Company. Any damages payable by the Company would be settled through an adjustment to the number of shares of common stock in the surviving company held by the Company and/or SFCE.

 

On November 18, 2014, Xtime, Inc., a private portfolio company, completed an all-cash merger transaction with Cox Automotive, Inc. At the closing of the merger, the Company was required to set aside $809,311 in escrow as partial security for potential stockholder indemnification obligations under the merger agreement. The $809,311 represents additional cash proceeds that may be released to the Company at a later date subject to potential indemnity claims. On January 13, 2015, Escrowed Funds totaling $105,210 were released to the Company from the Xtime escrow without any offset for indemnity claims. On January 15, 2016, Escrowed Funds totaling $606,984 were released to the Company from the Xtime escrow without any offset for indemnity claims. The remaining Escrowed Funds are anticipated to be released in November 2017, net of settlement of any indemnity claims. As of March 31, 2016, the Escrowed Funds were fair valued at $81,858. Although recovery under the stockholder indemnity obligation is generally limited to the escrow fund, the Company may be liable for its pro rata amount of any damages for certain types of indemnity claims not to exceed the cash consideration received by the Company, provided, however, in the case of the Company's fraud or intentional misrepresentation, there is no limitation on liability. Except as discussed above, the Company has not been notified of any stockholder indemnity claims.

 

The Company maintains a D&O Policy and an Excess Policy, which provide liability insurance coverage for its officers and directors. The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law subject to the restrictions in the 1940 Act.

 

Under the former Investment Advisory Agreement, absent the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of BDCA Venture Adviser or BDCA Venture Adviser’s reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, the Company has agreed to indemnify BDCA Venture Adviser (including its officers, managers, agents, employees and members) for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising out of BDCA Venture Adviser’s performance of its duties and obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement, except to the extent specified in the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the former Investment Advisory Agreement, the indemnification provision shall remain in full force and effect, and BDCA Venture Adviser shall remain entitled to the benefits thereof, notwithstanding any termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings. However, from time to time, the Company may be party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of its business including the enforcement of its rights under contracts with its portfolio companies.

Portfolio turnover (8)   %   0.03%

 

* Per share amount less than $0.01 per share.

 

(1)Based on weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

 

(2)For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net investment loss per share excluding expenses waived or reimbursed from the Adviser was $0.08. No such agreement existed during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

(3)Represents the increase in net asset value per share attributable to repurchases of common stock during the period.

 

(4)Total return based on change in net asset value equals the change in the end of the period net asset value over the beginning of the period net asset value plus distributions during the period, divided by the beginning of the period net asset value. The total return has not been annualized.

 

(5)Total return based on stock price is calculated based on the change in the market price of the Company's shares taking into account distributions reinvested in accordance with the Company's dividend reinvestment plan, or lacking such plan, at the lesser of net asset value or market price per share on the dividend distribution date. The total return has not been annualized.

 

(6)Operating expenses and net investment loss for periods of less than one year are annualized, and the ratios of operating expenses to average net assets and net investment loss to average net assets are adjusted accordingly. However, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, incentive fees payable to the Company's former investment adviser were not annualized for purposes of calculating the operating expense ratios. The ratio of non-annualized incentive fees to average net assets was (0.15%) for the three months ended March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the ratios of operating expenses and net investment loss to average net assets excluding expenses waived or reimbursed from BDCA Venture Adviser were 6.44% and (4.87%), respectively. No such agreement existed during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and, therefore, there were no expenses waived or reimbursed from BDCA Venture Adviser for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Because the ratios are calculated for the Company’s common stock taken as a whole, an individual investor’s ratios may vary from these ratios.

 

(7)During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any debt.

 

(8)Portfolio turnover is calculated as net proceeds from the sale of portfolio company investments during the period divided by average net assets during the period.

There were no such expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015.

The convertible preferred stock investment carries a non-cumulative, preferred dividend payable when and if declared by the portfolio company's board of directors. Since no dividends have been declared or paid, or are expected to be declared or paid, with respect to this convertible preferred stock investment, this investment is considered to be non-income producing.

Note 13 - Subsequent Events

 

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events after March 31, 2016. Except as set forth below, there were no subsequent events since March 31, 2016 that would require adjustment to or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

 

Portfolio Company Activity

 

On May 12, 2016, the Company funded an investment of $30,459 in BrightSource Energy as part of a proposed issuance of senior secured promissory notes pursuant to a rights offering to certain holders of BrightSource Energy preferred stock and outstanding promissory notes. As of the date of this filing, the debt financing has not closed. Since the Company has committed to purchase its pro rata portion in the proposed debt financing, a portion of its shares of Series 1A non-convertible preferred stock is expected to be automatically exchanged for shares of Series 1 convertible preferred stock to be determined post-closing. In connection with the debt financing, the maturity date for the July 2014 and August 2014 promissory notes and the convertible bridge notes previously issued by BrightSource Energy (including those held by the Company) is expected to be extended to March 31, 2017.

 

Stock Repurchase Program

 

On May 9, 2016, the Board authorized an extension of the Company’s stock repurchase program for an additional six months to expire on November 10, 2016. Since March 31, 2016, the Company has repurchased 18,808 shares of its common stock at an average price of $2.65 per share, including commissions, with a total cost of $49,775.

 

Termination of US Bancorp

 

On May 3, 2016, the Board announced the termination of its agreement with US Bancorp, effective as of March 29, 2016. The Board determined that the services provided by US Bancorp were redundant to the services provided by the Administrator and other vendors and that the Company could reduce unnecessary expenses related to the ongoing operations of the Company. The Company did not incur any termination penalties in connection with the termination of these services.

 

Adoption of the Plan of Liquidation

 

On May 3, 2016, the Board approved a Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Company will convert into a liquidating trust with the sole purpose of liquidating the Company’s assets and distributing the proceeds to the Company’s stockholders. The Plan is subject to the approval of the stockholders, which the Board will seek at a special meeting called for the purpose of approving the Plan and certain related matters as detailed in the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on May 5, 2016, including the withdrawal of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and the delisting of the Company’s stock from Nasdaq Capital Market.

    

The Board cannot estimate the expected value that the liquidating trust will receive for the sale or other monetization of the Company’s portfolio investments and it is possible that the final liquidation value of the Company’s portfolio investments may be less than the value an investor might receive from pursuing a strategy of holding such investments through any potential initial public offering. Prior to its approval by the stockholders and conversion into the liquidating trust, the Board reserves the right to consider additional strategic alternatives.

Overview

 

Crossroads Capital, Inc. ("we," "our" and "us"), formerly known as BDCA Venture, Inc., was incorporated on May 9, 2008 under the laws of the State of Maryland and is an internally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as of November 20, 2008. Effective December 2, 2015, we changed our name from BDCA Venture, Inc. to Crossroads Capital, Inc. Effective January 1, 2010, we elected to be treated for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). We commenced our portfolio company investment activities in January 2010. The shares of our common stock have been listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market since December 12, 2011.

 

On October 5, 2015, our Board of Directors determined that we will no longer make investments in new venture capital-backed or high growth companies and will shift our focus to the orderly monetization of our current holdings.

 

Effective January 20, 2016, our Board of Directors changed to our investment objective to preserve capital and maximize stockholder value (our “Investment Objective”) by pursuing the sale of our portfolio investments, limiting expenses and deploying surplus cash as appropriate, including into yielding investments to offset, in part, operating expenses. On March 25, 2016, our Board of Directors resolved to monetize our portfolio holdings at the earliest practicable date and on May 3, 2016, approved a Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”) pursuant to which we will convert into a liquidating trust with the sole purpose of liquidating our assets and distributing the proceeds to our stockholders. The Plan is subject to the approval of our stockholders, which our Board of Directors will seek at a special meeting called for the purpose of approving the Plan and certain related matters as detailed in the preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC on May 5, 2016, including the withdrawal of our election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and the delisting of our stock from Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Our Board of Directors cannot estimate the expected value that the liquidating trust will receive for the sale or other monetization of our portfolio investments and it is possible that the final liquidation value of our portfolio investments may be less than the value an investor might receive from pursuing a strategy of holding such investments through any potential initial public offering. Prior to the approval by our stockholders and our conversion into the liquidating trust, our Board of Directors reserves the right to consider additional strategic alternatives. See “Investment Objective” below.

 

On October 5, 2015, our Board of Directors approved the termination of the Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement dated July 1, 2014 (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") between us and our investment adviser, BDCA Venture Adviser, LLC. The effective date of termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement was December 6, 2015 (the "Termination Date").

 

On November 10, 2015, our Board of Directors approved the engagement of US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC ("US Bancorp") to provide administration and accounting services. On May 3, 2016, our Board of Directors announced the termination of its agreement with US Bancorp, effective as of March 29, 2016. See “-Recent Developments” below.

 

On November 13, 2015, our Board of Directors approved the engagement of 1100 Capital Consulting, LLC (our “Administrator”) to provide administrative consulting services to us, including the provision of personnel to act as certain of our executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  

 

31 

 

  

Effective December 2, 2015, our Board of Directors appointed Ben H. Harris to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and President, David M. Hadani to serve as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, both officers of the Administrator, and Stephanie L. Darling to serve as our Chief Compliance Officer.

 

We have entered into agreements with MidFirst Bank to be the custodian of our portfolio securities and Frontier Bank to be the custodian of the majority of our cash and cash equivalent assets.

 

Investment Objective

 

On January 20, 2016, our Board of Directors changed our investment objective to preserve capital and maximize stockholder value by pursuing the sale of our portfolio investments, limiting expenses and deploying surplus cash as appropriate, including into yielding investments to offset, in part, operating expenses. Subsequent to this change in our investment objective and in recognition that the monetization of our current holdings under our prior policies and investment objective could take three to five years or more and the amounts realized may be less than current fair values, our Board of Directors on March 25, 2016 resolved to monetize our portfolio holdings at the earliest practicable date.

 

On May 3, 2016, our Board of Directors approved the Plan, subject to the approval of our stockholders. The monetization resolution and the adoption of the Plan, together with adverse developments in financial markets to date in 2016, makes our investment portfolio susceptible to the risk that near-term sales by the liquidating trust after stockholder approval of the Plan and our conversion could result in amounts realized being less than current fair values as the liquidating trust actively seeks to sell our investments, either individually or in groups, and it is possible that we will experience substantial differences in the exit prices ultimately achieved by the liquidating trust on our portfolio holdings as compared to the respective current fair values. Such values were determined consistent with our disclosed policies and procedures, and the methodologies included therein, and which were based on the concept of an orderly transaction in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures," ("ASC 820").

 

Our Board of Directors believes the implementation of the new policy and the Plan, and our conversion into a liquidating trust, even with the possibility of achieving significantly lower prices from sales, will maximize stockholder value by substantially limiting estimated future operating expenses and removing the risk of future volatility in the market values of our portfolio holdings.

 

Our Board of Directors cannot estimate the expected value that the liquidating trust will receive for the sale or other monetization of our portfolio investments and it is possible that the final liquidation value of our portfolio investments may be less than the value an investor might receive from pursuing a strategy of holding such investments through any potential initial public offering. Prior to the approval by our stockholders and our conversion into the liquidating trust, our Board of Directors reserves the right to consider additional strategic alternatives.

 

A more detailed description of our current and former investment strategies is located in Item 1. — Business of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which has been filed with the SEC. The Plan and certain related matters proposed by our Board of Directors in connection with the adoption of the Plan are detailed in the preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC on May 5, 2016.

 

Portfolio Activity

 

Given the nature of investing in the securities of private companies, our investments generally will not have readily available market quotations. Generally, our equity investments in publicly traded companies in which the lockup restriction has expired are valued at the closing market price on the valuation date. However, equity investments in publicly traded portfolio companies which remain subject to lockup restrictions are valued in good faith by our Board of Directors based on a discount to the most recently available closing market prices. Our equity investments in private companies will not generally have readily available market quotations and, as such, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our Board of Directors, see "Critical Accounting Policies" below.

 

We had the following portfolio company activity during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

On January 13, 2016, Suniva closed a stock-for-stock merger transaction with Shunfeng International Clean Energy Limited, a Hong Kong Stock Exchange company ("SFCE"), and a global integrated energy provider. As a result, our 10.022 shares of Series F preferred stock and 197.942 shares of Series D preferred stock were exchanged for 2,844 shares of Suniva Class A common stock and 820,868 shares of SFCE common stock. Our shares of SFCE common stock were subject to a lockup period which expired in February 2016.

 

32 

 

  

On January 15, 2016, $606,984 was released to us from the Xtime escrow without any offset for indemnity claims.

 

On January 20, 2016, our Board of Directors approved and, on January 25, 2016, we signed an indication of interest to purchase additional Series B preferred stock in Harvest Power, Inc. as part of a “pay-to-play” extension offering of Series B preferred stock (the “Series B Extension”). On February 17, 2016, we purchased 244,039 shares of Series B preferred stock in Harvest Power for a total of $244,039. These newly purchased shares of Series B preferred stock have the same rights and preferences as our existing Series B preferred stock, with the exception that all of our Series B preferred stock now has a preferred-to-common conversion ratio of 1-to-1.5 versus 1-to-0.5301 previously. Any Series B stockholder that did not elect to purchase their pro rata share of the Series B Extension was subject to a mandatory conversion of their Series B preferred shares and Series A preferred shares into common stock. As part of this financing, participating stockholders were also offered the opportunity to purchase newly created Series B-1 preferred shares. We did not elect to purchase any Series B-1 preferred shares in this offering.

 

On March 22, 2016, BrightSource advised us that it was negotiating a further extension of the maturity date with the holders of the July 2014 and August 2014 promissory notes, which were issued to us in the initial principal amount of $107,977, and the convertible bridge notes, which were issued to us in the initial principal amount of $205,193. See "Recent Developments" below.

Total  $26,330,789   $10,299,066   $(16,031,723)   (61)%

 

As of March 31, 2016, the unrealized depreciation (or write-down) on our Escrowed Funds was $15,259.

 

As of March 31, 2016, we held equity investments in 13 portfolio companies, two of which are publicly traded and 11 of which are private companies. Based on our quarterly calls with the management of our private portfolio companies, we do not believe that any of our 11 private portfolio companies will complete an IPO or a strategic merger or sale during the next 12 months. If and when any private portfolio companies complete an IPO, our shares in such portfolio companies would only become eligible for sale following the expiration of post-IPO lockup periods, typically 180 days. We further believe there may be limited opportunities to sell our interests in existing private portfolio companies to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. Accordingly, it is possible that an orderly monetization of our current holdings may take three to five years or more.

 

34 

 

  

We believe there are three factors, among others, that have an impact on the IPO market: (i) volatility, (ii) recent IPO performance, and (iii) equity market trends. Beginning in the third quarter of 2015, there was an increase in volatility, a decline in recent IPO performance, and unfavorable equity market trends, all of which we believe may adversely impact the IPO market. If these factors continue to be unfavorable, we believe it may be more difficult for our private portfolio companies to complete an IPO in the future. There can be no assurance that any of our existing private portfolio companies will complete an IPO or a strategic sale/merger.

 

Results of Operations

 

The principal measure of our financial performance is the net increase (decrease) in our net assets resulting from operations, which is the sum of (i) net investment income (loss), (ii) net realized gain (loss), and (iii) the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Net investment income (loss) is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating expenses. Net realized gain (loss), if any, is the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition of portfolio company investments or other relevant assets and their stated cost. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is the net change in the fair value of our portfolio company investments or other relevant assets.

 

Set forth below are the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

 

Investment Income

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we earned interest and dividend income from cash and cash equivalents of $32,057 and $1,161, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we also earned payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest totaling $10,767 and $9,549, respectively, on our subordinated convertible bridge note and our subordinated secured note investments in BrightSource.

 

To maintain our status as a RIC, PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income, must generally be distributed to stockholders at least annually from other sources such as available cash or the proceeds from the disposition of our portfolio company investments.  However, since we do not expect to have investment company taxable income, we would generally not be required to distribute PIK interest from our available cash or the proceeds from the disposition of our portfolio company investments.

 

The following table shows our PIK loan activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, at cost:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2016   2015 
Beginning PIK loan balance (inclusive of PIK interest capitalized)  $387,688   $347,703 
PIK interest accreted to principal during period   10,767    9,549 
Ending PIK loan balance (inclusive of PIK interest capitalized)  $398,455   $357,252 

 

We did not make any investments in PIK loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the only notes with PIK interest that we held were issued by BrightSource. As of March 31, 2016, we were accruing PIK interest on each of our PIK loans, and none of our PIK loans were on non-accrual status.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of: (i) fees to our Administrator under the Administrator Consulting Agreement; (ii) fees to US Bancorp under the Administration Servicing Agreement and a Fund Accounting Servicing Agreement; and (iii) other operating costs. See "Recent Developments" below.

Operating expenses excluding expenses waived or reimbursed from our former investment adviser for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $612,912 and $816,720, respectively, a decrease of $194,808 compared to the prior period.

 

Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $358,999 and $293,690, respectively, an increase of $65,309 compared to the prior period due primarily to increases in valuation services and legal fees, partially offset by decreases in audit fees and Sarbanes Oxley consulting fees compared to the prior period.

 

Administrator fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $169,447 and $0, respectively, an increase of $169,447 compared to the prior period as a result of the engagement of our Administrator following the termination of our former Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

Chief compliance officer fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $12,000 and $0, respectively, an increase of $12,000 compared to the prior period as a result of the engagement of our Chief Compliance Officer following the termination of our former Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

Directors fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $23,750 and $31,250, respectively, a decrease of $7,500 compared to the prior period due primarily to a decrease in the number of directors serving on our Board compared to the prior period.

 

Public and investor relations expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $0 and $12,589, respectively, a decrease of $12,589 compared to the prior period due primarily to a decrease in investor relations services previously provided by RCS Advisory Services, LLC ("RCS Advisory"), an affiliated entity of BDCA Venture Adviser, compared to the prior period. RCS Advisory no longer provides us with services in connection with the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement effective as of the Termination Date.

 

Base management fees, accrued incentive fees and administrative expenses allocated from our investment adviser ended in connection with the termination of our former Investment Advisory Agreement in December 2015. Accordingly, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, we did not pay any fees to an investment adviser. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we paid base management fees of $365,293 and administrative expenses allocated from BDCA Venture Adviser of $126,104. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we also recorded a reduction of accrued incentive fees of $99,756. No incentive fees were earned for the three months ended March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded a reduction in expenses waived or reimbursed from BDCA Venture Adviser in the amount of $176,184, representing the amount by which our Adjusted Operating Expenses (as defined in Note 4 – Related Party Agreements and Transactions) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were less than $375,000, the prorated amount of the annualized $1,500,000 Adjusted Operating Expense threshold for the period. See Note 4 - Related Party Agreements and Transactions - to the financial statements for a further discussion of our fees under our former Investment Advisory Agreement and other agreements with BDCA Venture Adviser.

Net Investment Income (Loss)

 

Net investment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $579,088 compared to net investment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $629,826. The decrease of $50,738 in net investment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 is primarily attributable to the elimination of base management fees and administrative expenses allocated from the investment adviser in connection with the termination of our former Investment Advisory Agreement as well as decreases in general and administrative expenses and public and investor relations expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which were partially offset by increases in administrator fees and professional fees during the three months ended March 31, 2016, as discussed above.

 

Basic and diluted net investment loss per common share outstanding was $0.06 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to basic and diluted net investment loss per common share outstanding of $0.06 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were 9,672,193 and 9,793,994, respectively.

 

Net Realized Gain

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, net realized gain totaled $0 and $20,108, respectively. We did not complete any sales of our portfolio company investments during the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we sold 3,986 shares of previously written-off Millennial Media common stock which had been released from the indemnity escrow and received additional proceeds related to the sale of our investment in Xtime based on a post-closing working capital adjustment to the merger consideration.

 

Net Decrease in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the net decrease in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on portfolio company investments and Escrowed Funds totaled $7,250,737 and $518,890, respectively. The following table summarizes the cost and fair value of our portfolio company investments and Escrowed Funds as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our portfolio company investments and Escrowed Funds comprising the net decrease in unrealized depreciation of $7,250,737 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, or $0.75 per common share outstanding during the period:

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13,520,163 as compared to $13,655,862 as of December 31, 2015. The decrease of $135,699 in cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily the result of: (i) the release of $606,984 from the Xtime escrow, (ii) our investment in Harvest Power of $244,039, and (iii) net cash used in operating activities of $122,091 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had no indebtedness and total accounts payable and accrued expenses of $352,395. As of December 31, 2015, we had no indebtedness and total accounts payable and accrued expenses of $247,732.

 

Capital Raising

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had 9,670,076 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

 

We do not currently intend to raise additional common equity capital in the foreseeable future.

Regulatory Compliance

 

Due to the limited number of investments we currently hold, we closely monitor our asset composition in order to continue to satisfy the asset diversification test and maintain our status as a RIC. To maintain our status as a RIC, in addition to other requirements, as of the close of each quarter end, we must meet the asset diversification test, which requires that at least 50% of the value of our assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government securities or certain other qualified securities (the "50% Threshold"). However, the failure to meet the 50% Threshold alone will not result in our loss of RIC status. In circumstances where the failure to meet the 50% Threshold is the result of fluctuations in the value of our assets, including as a result of the sale of assets, we will still be deemed to have satisfied the 50% Threshold and, therefore, maintain our RIC status, provided that we have not made any new investments in non-qualifying securities, including additional investments in non-qualifying securities of existing portfolio companies, since the time that we fell below the 50% Threshold. As of March 31, 2016, we did not meet the 50% Threshold, however, such failure was due to fluctuations in the value of our assets. Accordingly, we satisfied the diversification test as of March 31, 2016. A more detailed description of our RIC status is located in Item 1. — Business - Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which has been filed with the SEC.

 

Distributions

 

Distribution Policy

 

We generally pay distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution, as determined by our Board of Directors, with the intention of distributing 100% of our net realized capital gains annually.

 

On March 25, 2016, our Board of Directors adopted a distribution policy with the objective to make special distributions to stockholders as declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion. Based on our Board of Directors’ recent change to our investment objective to preserve capital and maximize stockholder value and resolution to monetize our portfolio holdings at the earliest practicable date, we will no longer pay regular quarterly distributions to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors may amend or terminate the distribution policy at any time.

 

Due to the uncertainty of our current portfolio companies achieving a liquidity event, we can give no assurance that we will be able make distributions from the sale of our portfolio investments.  Furthermore, we can give no assurance that we will achieve investment results that will allow such distributions to be paid from net investment income or net realized capital gains from year-to-year. There is no assurance that our current portfolio companies will complete an IPO, sale/merger or other liquidity event or that we will be able to realize any net capital gains from the sale of our publicly-traded portfolio company investments.  Our ability to make distributions may also be adversely affected by, among other things, the impact of one or more risk factors described herein.  Accordingly, no assurances can be made that we will make distributions to our stockholders in the future.

 

If our distributions for any year exceed our net investment income and net realized capital gains, the difference will be distributed from our capital and will constitute a return of capital to our stockholders.  A return of capital is generally not taxable and, instead, reduces a stockholder's tax basis in his shares of our common stock.  A return of capital does not necessarily reflect our investment performance and generally does not reflect income earned. The tax character of a distribution is determined based upon our total net investment income, net realized capital gains and distributions made with respect to a taxable year and, therefore, cannot be finally determined until after the close of the relevant taxable year. Distributions representing a return of capital also deplete our total assets.

 

39 

 

  

Section 19 of the 1940 Act requires us to accompany each distribution payment with a notice if any part of that payment is from a source other than taxable net investment income.  This Section 19(a) notice is not for tax reporting purposes and is provided for informational purposes.  The Section 19(a) notice provides details on the anticipated source(s) of our distributions. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in Section 19(a) notices are only estimates and the actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon our investment experience during the year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.  Distributions in excess of our accumulated earnings and profits would generally be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain.  We will send stockholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar years that will report to stockholders the tax characterization of these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

 

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

 

We maintain a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") that provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder has elected to receive dividends in cash. As a result, if we declare a dividend, stockholders who have not "opted out" of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of our common stock. Although we have a number of options to satisfy the share requirements of the DRIP, we currently expect that the shares required to be purchased under the DRIP will be acquired through open market purchases of common stock by the DRIP administrator. The shares purchased in the open market to satisfy the DRIP requirements will be valued based upon the average price of the applicable shares purchased by the DRIP administrator.

 

Distributions to our stockholders are payable only when and as declared by our Board of Directors and are paid out of assets legally available for distribution. We may fund cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to us. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions.

 

Dividend History

 

We did not declare any distributions to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The following table summarizes our distributions declared for the years ended 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

(4)The February 2011 distribution was a special cash distribution based on the unrealized appreciation of a portfolio company investment.

 

Stock Repurchases

 

On November 10, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $1 million for a six month period to expire on May 10, 2016. On January 20, 2016, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to this stock repurchase program to allow for greater flexibility, by narrowing the current “blackout” period during which we are prohibited from purchasing shares, and increasing the size of the program from $1 million to $2 million. On May 9, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an extension of the stock repurchase program for an additional six months to expire on November 10, 2016. Under the repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock in open market transactions, including through block purchases, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors.  The repurchase program may be extended, modified or discontinued at any time for any reason.  The stock repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares, and all repurchases will be made in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased 6,408 shares of our common stock at an average price of $2.12 per share, including commissions, with a total cost of $13,608. Our net asset value per share was not changed as a result of the share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The weighted average discount to net asset value per share of the shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 58%.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we repurchased 117,510 shares of our common stock at an average price of $4.96 per share, including commissions, with a total cost of $582,468.  Our net asset value per share increased by $0.02 per share as a result of the share repurchases during the year ended December 31, 2015.  The weighted average discount to net asset value per share of the shares repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2015 was 24%.

 

Since March 31, 2016, we have repurchased 18,808 shares of our common stock at an average price of $2.65 per share, including commissions, with a total cost of $49,775. See “Recent Developments” below.

 

We accounted for the repurchases of our common stock under the cost method based on the actual cost of the repurchases.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, we may enter into investment agreements under which we commit to make an investment in a portfolio company at some future date or over a specified period of time. As of March 31, 2016, we had not entered into any investment agreements, which required us to make a future investment in a portfolio company.

 

On October 15, 2015, Suniva completed a stock-for-stock merger transaction with SFCE. Pursuant to the merger agreement, we are required to indemnify SFCE for certain breaches of warranties and representations made to SFCE, subject to a cap of approximately 12.5% of the merger consideration received by us. Any damages payable by us would be settled through an adjustment to the number of shares of common stock in the surviving company held by us and/or SFCE.

 

On November 18, 2014, Xtime, Inc., a private portfolio company, completed an all-cash merger transaction with Cox Automotive, Inc. At the closing of the merger, we were required to set aside approximately $809,311 in escrow as partial security for potential stockholder indemnification obligations under the merger agreement. The $809,311 represents additional proceeds that may be released to us at a later date subject to potential indemnity claims. On January 13, 2015, Escrowed Funds totaling $105,210 were released to us from the Xtime escrow without any offset for indemnity claims. On January 15, 2016, Escrowed Funds totaling $606,984 were released to us from the Xtime escrow without any offset for indemnity claims. As of March 31, 2016, Escrowed Funds were fair valued at $81,858. The remaining funds held in the Xtime escrow are expected to be released in November of 2017, net of settlement of any indemnity claims. Although recovery under the stockholder indemnity obligation is generally limited to the escrow fund, we may be liable for our pro rata amount of any damages for certain types of indemnity claims not to exceed the cash consideration received by us, provided, however, in the case of our fraud or intentional misrepresentation, there is no limitation on liability. Except as discussed above, we have not been notified of any stockholder indemnity claims.

 

41 

 

  

We maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy (the "D&O Policy") and an excess coverage policy (the "Excess Policy") that provide liability insurance coverage for our officers and directors. We have also agreed to indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law subject to the restrictions in the 1940 Act.

 

Under our former Investment Advisory Agreement, absent the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of BDCA Venture Adviser or BDCA Venture Adviser’s reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, we agreed to indemnify BDCA Venture Adviser (including its officers, managers, agents, employees and members of its investment committee) for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising out of BDCA Venture Adviser’s performance of its duties and obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement, except to the extent specified in the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the former Investment Advisory Agreement, the indemnification provision shall remain in full force and effect, and BDCA Venture Adviser shall remain entitled to the benefits thereof, notwithstanding any termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

As of March 31, 2016, we and our officers and directors are not a party to any material legal proceedings. However, from time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies.

 

Recent Developments

 

Portfolio Company Activity

 

On May 12, 2016, we funded an investment of $30,459 in BrightSource Energy as part of a proposed issuance of senior secured promissory notes pursuant to a rights offering to certain holders of BrightSource Energy preferred stock and outstanding promissory notes. As of the date of this filing, the debt financing has not closed. Since we have committed to purchase our pro rata portion in the proposed debt financing, a portion of our shares of Series 1A non-convertible preferred stock is expected to be automatically exchanged for shares of Series 1 convertible preferred stock to be determined post-closing. In connection with the debt financing, the maturity date for the July 2014 and August 2014 promissory notes and the convertible bridge notes previously issued by BrightSource Energy (including those held by us) is expected to be extended to March 31, 2017.

 

Stock Repurchase Program

 

On May 9, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an extension of our stock repurchase program for an additional six months to expire on November 10, 2016. Since March 31, 2016, we have repurchased 18,808 shares of our common stock at an average price of $2.65 per share, including commissions, with a total cost of $49,775.

 

Termination of US Bancorp

 

On May 3, 2016, our Board of Directors announced the termination of its agreement with US Bancorp, effective as of March 29, 2016. Our Board of Directors determined that the services provided by US Bancorp were redundant to the services provided by our Administrator and other vendors and that we could reduce unnecessary expenses related to our ongoing operations. We did not incur any termination penalties in connection with the termination of these services.

 

Adoption of the Plan of Liquidation

 

On May 3, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”) pursuant to which we will convert into a liquidating trust with the sole purpose of liquidating our assets and distributing the proceeds to our stockholders. The Plan is subject to the approval of our stockholders, which our Board of Directors will seek at a special meeting called for the purpose of approving the Plan and certain related matters as detailed in the preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC on May 5, 2016, including the withdrawal of our election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and the delisting of our stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Our Board of Directors cannot estimate the expected value that the liquidating trust will receive for the sale or other monetization of our portfolio investments and it is possible that the final liquidation value of our portfolio investments may be less than the value an investor might receive from pursuing a strategy of holding such investments through any potential initial public offering. Prior to the approval by our stockholders and our conversion into the liquidating trust, our Board of Directors reserves the right to consider additional strategic alternatives.

Change in the Company’s Certifying Accountant

 

On April 27, 2016, we engaged Tait, Weller & Baker LLP (“Tait Weller”) as our new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, replacing Crowe Horwath LLP. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to dismiss Crowe Horwath and appoint Tait Weller.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

A summary of our significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. A full disclosure of our significant accounting policies is disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which has been filed with the SEC.

 

Related Party Agreements and Transactions

 

Administrative Services

 

On November 13, 2015, our Board of Directors approved the engagement of our Administrator to provide administrative consulting services to us, including the provision of personnel to act as certain of our executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to an Administrator Consulting Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we incurred $150,000 of Administrator expenses. We did not engage an administrator during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and, accordingly, did not incur any administrator expenses during this period. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had expenses payable to our Administrator of $0 and $51,308, respectively.

 

Effective December 2, 2015, we engaged the services of our Chief Compliance Officer at a set monthly rate of $4,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we incurred $12,000 of compliance fees. We reimbursed BDCA Venture Adviser for the allocable portion of compensation of our Chief Compliance Officer during the three months ended March 31, 2015, with such expense included in the payment of administrative expenses allocated from our former investment adviser for the period. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had expenses payable to our Chief Compliance Officer of $4,000 and $4,000, respectively.

 

Other Transactions with Related Parties

 

On March 25, 2016, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors approved the reimbursement of $125,157 in legal and proxy solicitation costs incurred by Bulldog Investors, LLC (“Bulldog”), a stockholder and beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, as a result of the contested proxy campaign in connection with our 2015 Annual Meeting. This reimbursement was paid to Bulldog on March 30, 2016 and included the costs of Bulldog’s litigation against us in the Circuit Court of Maryland and the New York Supreme Court and costs associated with the proxy process and the election of our new Board of Directors. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is required to review and approve any transactions with related parties (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Our business activities contain elements of risk. We consider the primary type of market risk attributable to us to be valuation risk.

 

Valuation Risk

 

Value, as defined in Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, is (i) the market price for those securities for which market quotations are readily available, and (ii) fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors for all other assets. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 3 - Portfolio Investments and Fair Value in the interim financial statements filed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

Because there is initially no public market for the securities of the private companies in which we invest, the valuation of these investments is estimated in good faith by our Board of Directors, in accordance with our valuation procedures. In the absence of a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of our portfolio company investments may differ significantly from the value that would be placed on the portfolio if a ready market for such securities existed. Changes in valuation of these portfolio company investments are recorded in our Statement of Operations as "Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)." Changes in valuation of any of our investments in privately held companies from one period to another may be volatile.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect our interest income from portfolio investments and cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $13.5 million. We primarily invest our cash on hand in demand deposit accounts, short-term U.S. Treasury securities and money market funds that invest primarily in U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government agency securities, and repurchase agreements fully-collateralized by such securities. As of March 31, 2016, we held cash deposits of $13.5 million, pending payment of our operating expenses or payment of distributions or potential stock repurchases, for which we have market risk exposure relating to fluctuations in interest rates.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, our demand deposit accounts and money market funds earned an effective annualized dividend of approximately 0.95%. Assuming no other changes to our holdings of demand deposit accounts and money market funds as of March 31, 2016, a one percentage point change in the underlying dividend rate payable on our demand deposit accounts and money market funds as of March 31, 2016 would not have a material effect on the amount of dividend income earned from our demand deposit accounts and money market funds for the following 90-day period.

 

Our investment income from portfolio companies will also be affected by changes in various interest rates to the extent our debt investments include floating interest rates. As of March 31, 2016, none of our income-bearing debt investments in portfolio companies bore interest based on floating rates.

 

We may engage in hedging transactions with respect to the market risks to which we are exposed 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. However, if we do engage in hedging transactions, we may expose ourselves to risks associated with such transactions. We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception, and we currently do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risks to which we are exposed. We also do not intend to lend the securities of our publicly traded portfolio companies to generate fee income.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31, 2016 (the end of the period covered by this quarterly report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act).  Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Management has not identified any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

In addition to other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the "Risk Factors" discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which has been filed with the SEC. There have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2016 to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

We did not engage in any unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Details of the monthly share repurchases under our stock repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2016 are set forth below:
