*	Denotes that all or a portion of the investment is held as collateral by Garrison Funding 2016-2 Ltd.

**	Denotes that all or a portion of the loan is held by Garrison Capital SBIC LP.

Base Rate = Our floating rate investments bear interest at a base rate plus a spread. Generally, the borrower has an option to choose whether the base rate is referenced to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the prime rate. The spread may change as a result of the borrower’s choice of base rate. In addition, the floating rate investments that are referenced to LIBOR are generally indexed to 30-day or 90-day U.S. Dollar LIBOR and subject to a minimum LIBOR Floor. The terms disclosed in the consolidated schedule of investments represent the actual base rate and spread in effect as of the reporting date.

All securities above were valued with significant unobservable inputs. Refer to Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures regarding the unobservable inputs used in fair value measurement.

(1)

Not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Under the 1940 Act, Garrison Capital Inc. (the “Company”) may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of September 30, 2017, 95.0% of the Company’s assets were qualifying assets.

(2)	Net of a profits interest payable to a third party upon any subsequent sales of Prosper Marketplace Series B Preferred Stock.

(3)	Interest is payable in cash, and/or payment-in-kind (“PIK”), or a combination thereof.

(4)

In addition to the interest earned on the stated base rate and spread of this investment, the Company received additional interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to an arrangement between the Company and certain other lenders to the portfolio company. The additional interest received during the quarter has been annualized and included in the spread disclosed for this investment.

(5)	Investment is currently not income producing and placed on non-accrual status.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

(6)

GLC Trust 2013-2 includes 595 small balance consumer loans with an average par of $4,988, a weighted average rate of 16.32% and a weighted average maturity of February 14, 2019. See Note 3 for additional information. See Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 for detail on underlying loans.

(7)	The negative fair value is the result of the unfunded commitments being valued below par. These amounts may or may not be funded to the borrowing party currently or in the future.

As required by the 1940 Act, investments are classified by level of control. “Control Investments” are investments in those companies that the Company is deemed to control as defined in the 1940 Act. “Affiliate Investments” are investments in those companies that are affiliated companies, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than Control Investments. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.

Generally, under the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to control a company in which it has invested if it owns more than 25% of the voting securities of such company. The Company is deemed to be an affiliate of a company in which it has invested if it owns 5% or more of the voting securities of such company.

Base Rate = Our floating rate investments bear interest at a base rate plus a spread. Generally, the borrower has an option to choose whether the base rate is referenced to LIBOR or the prime rate. The spread may change as a result of the borrower’s choice of base rate. In addition, the floating rate investments that are referenced to LIBOR are generally indexed to 30-day or 90-day U.S. Dollar LIBOR and subject to a minimum LIBOR Floor. The terms disclosed in the consolidated schedule of investments represent the actual base rate and spread in effect as of the reporting period date.

1. Organization

Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation and is an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has filed an election to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes, GARS has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for the period beginning October 9, 2012 and intends to qualify annually thereafter. GARS’ shares trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “GARS”.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through direct loans and debt investments in U.S. based middle-market companies. Our loans and debt investments are primarily first lien senior secured loans (including "unitranche" loans, which are loans that combine the characteristics of both senior and subordinated debt, generally in a first lien position). We also may, to a lesser extent, invest in subordinated and mezzanine debt, unsecured consumer loans and equity investments. Our goal is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns by assembling a broad portfolio of investments.

The Company’s business and affairs are managed and controlled by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). The majority of the members of the Board are independent of the Company and its affiliates. Our investment activities and day-to-day operations are managed by Garrison Capital Advisers, LLC (our “Investment Adviser”), and Garrison Capital Administrator, LLC (the “GARS Administrator”) provides the Company with certain administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. We are organized as a holding company and conduct our business primarily through our various subsidiaries.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Updates

Basis of Presentation

The Company is an investment company as defined in the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications, consisting solely of normal accruals, that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Garrison Capital Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The accounts of the subsidiaries are prepared using consistent accounting policies and as of the same reporting period as GARS. Under ASC Topic 946, the Company is generally precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company. Accordingly, the Company consolidates any investment company when it owns 100% of its equity units or 100% of the economic equity interest. ASC Topic 946 also provides for the consolidation of a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services to the investment company or its consolidated subsidiaries.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Updates – (continued)

As a result, GARS has consolidated the results of Garrison Funding 2013-2 Manager, LLC (“GF 2013-2 Manager”), Garrison Funding 2013-2 Ltd. (“GF 2013-2”), Garrison Funding 2016-2 Ltd. (“GF 2016-2”), Garrison Capital SBIC, LP (“Garrison SBIC”), GLC Trust 2013-2 (“GLC Trust 2013-2”) and a series of limited liability companies that GARS created primarily to provide specific tax treatment for the minority equity and other investments held in these limited liability companies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, including the estimated fair values of investments and the amount of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, cash held in designated bank accounts with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Custodian”) was $14.0 million and $9.1 million, respectively. Cash held in designated bank accounts with other major financial institutions was $0.7 million and $1.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. At times, these balances may exceed federally insured limits and this potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk associated with its cash custodian.

The Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less, including those held in overnight sweep bank deposit accounts. As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held no cash equivalents.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted

Restricted cash as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 included cash of $13.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, held by GF 2016-2 in designated bank accounts with the Custodian. GF 2016-2 is required to use a portion of these amounts to pay interest expense, reduce borrowings at the end of the investment period and to pay other amounts in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2016-2 CLO, as defined in Note 4. Funds held by GF 2016-2 are not available for general use by the Company. Restricted cash as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 also included cash of $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, held by GLC Trust 2013-2 in designated restricted bank accounts. GLC Trust 2013-2 is required to use a portion of these amounts to make principal payments and pay interest expense in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes, as defined in Note 4.

As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held no restricted cash equivalents.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income and Expense

The Company records its investment transactions on a trade date basis, which is the date when management has determined that all material legal terms have been contractually defined for the transactions. These transactions could possibly settle on a subsequent date depending on the transaction type. Any amounts related to purchase, sale and principal paydowns that have traded but not settled will be reflected as either a due to counterparty or due from counterparty on our consolidated statement of financial condition. All related revenue and expenses attributable to our investment transactions are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations commencing on the trade date unless otherwise specified by the transaction documents. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific identification method.

The Company accrues interest income if it expects that ultimately it will be able to collect such income. Generally, when a payment default occurs on a loan in the portfolio, or if management otherwise believes that the issuer of the loan will not be able to make contractual interest payments or principal payments, the Investment Adviser will place the loan on non-accrual status and the Company will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, the Company remains contractually entitled to this interest.

The Company may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. Accrued interest is written off when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. For consumer loans, any loan which is 120 days past due is considered defaulted and 100% of the principal is charged off with no expected recovery or sale of defaulted receivables. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had investments in five portfolio companies that were placed on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had investments in two portfolio companies that were placed on non-accrual status.

Any original issue discounts, as well as any other purchase discounts or premiums on debt investments, are accreted or amortized and included in interest income over the maturity periods of the investments. If a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the Company will cease recognizing amortization of original issue discount and purchase discount until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the income is deemed to be collectible.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected.

Certain investments may have contractual PIK interest. PIK represents accrued interest that is added to the principal amount of the investment on the respective interest payment dates instead of being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer.

Loan Origination, Facility, Commitment and Amendment Fees

The Company may receive loan origination, prepayment, facility, commitment, forbearance and amendment fees in addition to interest income during the life of the investment. The Company may receive origination fees upon the origination of an investment.

Origination fees received by the Company are initially deferred and reduced from the cost basis of the investment and subsequently accreted into interest income over the stated term of the loan.

September 30, 2017

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Updates – (continued)

Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income when we receive such amounts. Facility fees, sometimes referred to as asset management fees, are accrued as a percentage periodic fee on the base amount (either the funded facility amount or the committed principal amount). Commitment fees are based upon the undrawn portion committed by the Company and are accrued over the life of the loan.

Amendment and forbearance fees are paid in connection with loan amendments and waivers and are recognized upon completion of the amendments or waivers, generally when such fees are receivable. Any such fees are recorded and classified as other income and included in investment income on the consolidated statements of operations. As these fees are paid and recognized in connection with specific loan amendments or forbearance, they are typically non-recurring in nature.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and any original issue discounts.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company values its investments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. ASC Topic 820’s definition of fair value focuses on exit price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs within a measurement of fair value.

ASC Topic 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

•

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.

•

Level 2 — Pricing inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments where multiple price quotes can be obtained, and other observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, and default rates.

•

Level 3 — Pricing inputs are unobservable and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation including, in certain instances, the Investment Adviser’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the financial instrument.

Our investments include debt investments (both funded and unfunded, “Debt Investments”), preferred and minority common equity investments of diversified companies (“Equity”) and a portfolio of unsecured small balance consumer loans (“Financial Assets”). Due to the nature of the Company’s strategy, the Company’s portfolio is primarily comprised of relatively illiquid investments that are privately held. Inputs into the determination of fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments require significant management judgment or estimation. This means that the Company’s portfolio valuations are based on unobservable inputs and the Investment Adviser’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability in question. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain and they may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates. The determination of fair value by the Board may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these investments existed.

Net assets could be materially affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of the investments were materially higher or lower than the values that are ultimately realized upon the disposal of such investments.

Valuation Techniques

The following is a description of the different valuation techniques utilized by the Company.

Debt and Equity Investments

Bid quotations – Certain of the Company’s debt investments are publicly traded instruments for which quoted market prices are not readily available. The fair value of these investments may be determined based on bid quotations from unaffiliated market makers or independent third-party pricing services or the price activity of comparable instruments. The Company will generally supplement the bid quotations for these investments by also performing a comparable yield approach outlined below.

Comparable yield approach – This valuation technique determines the fair value of an investment by assessing the expected market yield of other debt investments with similar credit structures, leverage statistics, interest rates and time to maturity. The Company generally uses this approach for its debt investments that have not been deemed to be credit-impaired and where a market rate of recovery is expected.

Market comparable companies – This valuation technique determines the total enterprise value of a company by assessing the expected multiple that a market participant would apply to that company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), revenue or other collateral that secures the investment. These valuation multiples are typically determined based on reviewing market comparable transactions or other comparable publicly traded companies, if any. The resulting enterprise value will dictate whether or not the Company’s debt investment has adequate enterprise value coverage. In instances where the enterprise value is inadequate, the market comparable companies approach may be used to estimate a recovery value for our credit-impaired debt investments. The Company generally also uses this approach for its equity investments.

Financial Assets

Discounted cash flows – This valuation technique determines the fair value of an investment by projecting the expected cash flows based on contractual terms calculating the present value of such cash flows as of the valuation date using a discount rate.

Valuation Process

The Board is responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s assets in good faith using a documented valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. The valuation process is a multi-step process conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter as described below:

•

The Company’s valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for credit monitoring.

•

At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment that does not have a readily available quotation is reviewed by an independent valuation firm, subject to the de minimis exception as more fully described below.

•

Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented, compared to the range of prices provided by an independent valuation firm where applicable, and discussed with our senior management and the Investment Adviser.

•

The Investment Adviser submits these preliminary valuations to the Valuation Committee of the Board.

•

The Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Updates – (continued)

However, the Board does not intend to have de minimis investments of less than 0.5% of the Company’s total assets (up to an aggregate of 10.0% of the Company’s total assets) independently reviewed.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The amortization period will be shortened for the premium to the earliest call date. This new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2017-08 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 amends the accounting guidance for revenue recognition from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2017, and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Financial Assets are valued by the level of risk associated with the underlying loan measured by the estimated loss rate. The estimated loss rate is based on the historical performance of loans with similar characteristics, the borrower’s credit score obtained from an official credit reporting agency at origination, debt-to-income ratios at origination, information from the borrower’s credit report at origination, as well as the borrower’s self-reported income range, occupation and employment status at origination. Financial Asset risk ratings are assigned on a scale from A through F, with A having the lowest level of risk and F having the highest level of risk. As of September 30, 2017, 11.5%, 36.7%, 40.5%, 9.2%, 2.1% and 0.0% of the total fair value of Financial Assets was comprised of A, B, C, D, E and F risk rated loans, respectively. See Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 for detail on the underlying loans.

Excludes non-operating portfolio companies, which we define as those loans collateralized by proved developed producing (“PDP”) value, real estate or other hard assets. PDPs are proven revenues that can be produced with existing wells. As of September 30, 2017, non-operating portfolio companies with an aggregate of $52.9 million of par value and $30.9 million of fair value were excluded.

Financial Assets are valued by the level of risk associated with the underlying loan measured by the estimated loss rate. The estimated loss rate is based on the historical performance of loans with similar characteristics, the borrower’s credit score obtained from an official credit reporting agency at origination, debt-to-income ratios at origination, information from the borrower’s credit report at origination, as well as the borrower’s self-reported income range, occupation and employment status at origination.

As of December 31, 2016, 16.6%, 35.4%, 37.4%, 8.1%, 2.5% and 0.0%, of the total fair value of Financial Assets was comprised of A, B, C, D, E and F risk rated loans, respectively. See Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for detail on the underlying loans.

(5)

Excludes non-operating portfolio companies, which we define as those loans collateralized by PDP value, real estate or other hard assets. PDPs are proven revenues that can be produced with existing wells. As of December 31, 2016, non-operating portfolio companies with an aggregate of $49.6 million of par value and $36.0 million of market value were excluded.

Unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Debt and Equity Investments include bid quotations obtained from independent third party services (“consensus pricing”), multiples of market comparable companies, and relative comparable yields. Significant decreases (increases) in consensus pricing or market comparables could result in lower (higher) fair value measurements. Significant increases (decreases) in comparable yields could result in lower (higher) fair value measurements. Generally, a change in the assumption used for relative comparable yields is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used for pricing.

Unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Financial Assets include interest rate, conditional prepayment rate, cumulative default rate and discount rate. Significant decreases (increases) in interest rates or conditional prepayment rates could result in lower (higher) fair value measurements. Significant increases (decreases) in cumulative default rates or discount rates could result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements.

The terms of the Debt Investments may provide for us to extend to a borrower additional credit or provide funding for any unfunded portion of such Debt Investments at the request of the borrower. This exposes us to potential liabilities that are not reflected on the consolidated statements of financial condition. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $5.4 million and $4.8 million of unfunded commitments with negative fair values of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The negative fair value is the result of the unfunded commitments being valued below par. These amounts may or may not be funded to the borrowing party now or in the future.

4. Financing

As of September 30, 2017, the total carrying value of the Company’s aggregate debt outstanding was $201.2 million with a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.2%.

Refinancing of the 2013-2 Collateralized Loan Obligation

On September 25, 2013, GF 2013-2 completed a $350.0 million collateralized loan obligation (the “2013-2 CLO”), the proceeds of which were utilized, along with cash on hand, to refinance an existing credit facility. The notes offered in the 2013-2 CLO (the “2013-2 Notes”) were issued by GF 2013-2 through a private placement and were comprised of $50.0 million of senior secured revolving notes, $160.3 million of senior secured term notes and an aggregate of $139.7 million of subordinated notes that were retained by GARS via the GF 2013-2 Manager.

On September 29, 2016, GF 2016-2 completed a $300.0 million collateralized loan obligation (the “2016-2 CLO”), the proceeds of which were utilized, along with cash on hand, to refinance the 2013-2 CLO. The notes offered in the 2016-2 CLO (the “2016-2 Notes”) were issued by GF 2016-2 through a private placement and were comprised of: (i) $25.00 million of AAA(sf) Class A-1R Senior Secured Revolving Floating Rate Notes (“Class A-1R Notes”); (ii) $88.15 million of AAA(sf) Class A-1T Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes (“Class A-1T Notes”); (iii) $25.00 million of AAA(sf) Class A-1F Senior Secured Fixed Rate Notes (“Class A-1F Notes”); (iv) $20.70 million of AA(sf) Class A-2 Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes (“Class A-2 Notes” and collectively with the Class A-1R Notes, the Class A-1T Notes and the Class A-2F Notes, the “Class A Notes”); (v) $21.45 million of A(sf) Class B Secured Deferrable Floating Rate Notes (“Class B Notes”); (vi) $11.70 million of BBB(sf) Class C Secured Deferrable Floating Rate Notes (“Class C Notes” and collectively, the Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes are referred to as the “Secured Notes”); and (vii) $108.00 million of subordinated notes (“Subordinated Notes”), which do not have a stated interest rate, are not rated and were retained by GARS. The 2016-2 Notes are scheduled to mature on September 29, 2027. The 2013-2 CLO and 2016-2 CLO are collectively referred to as “the CLOs”.

In connection with the closing of the sale of the 2016-2 Notes, substantially all of the net cash proceeds, along with existing cash, were used to purchase a portion of the portfolio of loans held by GF 2013-2. GF 2013-2 used the proceeds received in connection with such sale of loans to redeem in full all of the 2013-2 Notes. The refinancing of the 2013-2 CLO resulted in a $1.8 million loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 due to the third party expenses incurred as part of the 2013-2 CLO which had initially been deferred and was being amortized over the stated life of the 2013-2 CLO. This loss was included in the consolidated statements of operations within loss on refinancing of secured notes.

As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Class A-1R Notes under the 2016-2 CLO were fully undrawn. The fair value of the notes issued by the CLOs approximated their carrying values on the consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The indenture governing the 2016-2 Notes provides that, to the extent cash is available from cash collections, the holders of the 2016-2 Notes are to receive quarterly interest payments on the 20th day or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day of February, May, August and November of each year until the stated maturity.

Under the documents governing the 2016-2 CLO, there are two coverage tests applicable to the Secured Notes. The first test compares the amount of interest received on the collateral loans held by GF 2016-2 to the amount of interest payable on the Secured Notes under the 2016-2 CLO in respect of the amounts drawn and certain expenses. To meet this first test, at any time, the aggregate amount of interest received on the collateral loans must equal, after the payment of certain fees and expenses, at least 135.0% of the aggregate amount of interest payable on the Class A Notes, 125.0% of the interest payable on the Class A Notes and Class B Notes, taken together, and 115% of the interest payable on the Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes, taken together.

The second test compares the aggregate principal amount of the collateral loans, as calculated in accordance with the indenture, to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Secured Notes in respect of the amounts drawn. To meet this second test at any time, the aggregate principal amount of the collateral loans must equal at least 173.4% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes, 156.1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Class A Notes and Class B Notes, taken together, and 148.1% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes, taken together.

If the coverage tests are not satisfied with respect to a quarterly payment date, GF 2016-2 will be required to apply available amounts to the repayment of interest on and principal of the 2016-2 Notes to the extent necessary to satisfy the applicable coverage tests and, as a result, there may be reduced funds available for GF 2016-2 to make additional investments or to make distributions on the Subordinated Notes held by the Company. Additionally, compliance is measured on each day collateral loans are purchased, originated or sold and in connection with monthly reporting to the note holders.

Furthermore, if under the second coverage test the aggregate principal amount of the collateral loans equals 125.0% or less of the aggregate outstanding principal amount on the Class A-1T Notes and Class A-1R Notes, taken together, and remains so for ten business days, an event of default will be deemed to have occurred. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the trustee for the 2016-2 CLO and 2013-2 CLO, respectively, has asserted that all of the coverage tests were met.

Garrison SBIC Borrowings

On May 29, 2014, Garrison SBIC, which has an investment objective substantially similar to GARS, was formed in accordance with small business investment company (“SBIC”) regulations. Garrison SBIC received a license from the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) on May 26, 2015. The SBIC license allows Garrison SBIC to obtain SBA-guaranteed debentures in an amount equal to twice its equity capitalization up to $150.0 million of leverage, subject to the issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. On June 16, 2015, the SBA issued Garrison SBIC a commitment to provide $35.0 million of leverage and on October 24, 2016 issued a second commitment to provide an additional $35.0 million of leverage.

The SBA issues SBA-guaranteed debentures bi-annually on pooling dates in March and September of each year. These debentures are non-recourse, interest-only debentures with a 10 year stated maturity, but may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The interest rate of the debentures is fixed at the time of issuance and is based on a coupon rate over the ten year treasury rate at the time of issuance. Interest on the debentures is payable on a semi-annual basis. The SBA issues interim financings to SBICs on non-pooling dates that carry a lower interest rate than the debentures and mature on the next pooling date.

The SBA, as a creditor, will have a superior claim to Garrison SBIC’s assets over GARS’ stockholders if Garrison SBIC were to be liquidated, or if the SBA exercises its remedies under the SBA-guaranteed debentures issued by Garrison SBIC upon an event of default.

As of September 30, 2017, Garrison SBIC had regulatory capital of $36.1 million and total SBIC borrowings outstanding of $37.0 million. The SBIC borrowings were comprised of $14.0 million, $12.7 million, $3.3 million, and $7.0 million of SBA guaranteed debentures that mature on September 1, 2025, March 1, 2026, September 1, 2026 and March 1, 2027, respectively. The fair value of the SBIC borrowings approximated the carrying value on the consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $33.0 million of available SBIC leverage capacity.

GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes

On July 18, 2014, GARS completed a $39.2 million term debt securitization and the notes offered thereby (the “GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes”) collateralized by the GLC Trust 2013-2 consumer loan portfolio. GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes consisted of $36.9 million of Class A Notes (“GLC Trust 2013-2 Class A Notes”) and $2.3 million of Class B Notes (“GLC Trust 2013-2 Class B Notes”). As of September 30, 2017, GARS has retained all of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Class B Notes, which are eliminated in consolidation.

The GLC Trust 2013-2 Class A Notes bear interest at 3.00% per annum and are scheduled to mature on July 15, 2021. The proceeds of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes were used to refinance the $10.0 million revolving credit facility with Capital One, N.A. which was fully paid down and terminated concurrent with the issuance of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes.

The fair value of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes approximated the carrying value on the consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The indenture governing the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes provides that, to the extent cash is available from cash collections, the holders of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes are to receive monthly interest and principal payments on the 15th day or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day, commencing in August 2014, until the stated maturity.

Under the indenture governing the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes, there are two applicable monthly tests. The first test compares the principal balance of the underlying loans to the principal balance of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes. To meet this first test, the aggregate principal balance of the underlying loans less the aggregate principal balance of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes must equal, at least, the greater of (1) 13.00% of the aggregate principal balance of the underlying loans as of the end of the prior month and (2) 5.25% of the loan pool balance as of July 11, 2014.

The second test compares the ratio of the dollar amount of cumulative defaults to the original principal balance of the underlying loans as of July 11, 2014 (“Cumulative Default Ratio”) to the Cumulative Default Ratio trigger level, as stated in the indenture. To meet this second test, the Cumulative Default Ratio must not exceed the Cumulative Default Ratio trigger level.

If these tests are not satisfied with respect to a monthly payment date and are not cured within 45 days, an event of default will be deemed to have occurred and the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes will become immediately due and payable, in accordance with the terms of the indenture. As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of the coverage tests were met.

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs and other Fees

In connection with the issuance of our various debt instruments, GARS incurred aggregate fees in the amount of $6.2 million which consisted of facility fees, rating agency fees, legal fees and other costs. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Company’s debt instruments are included as a reduction to the carrying amount of the related liability on the consolidated statements of financial condition and will be amortized over the stated maturity of the respective loans, with $4.2 million and $4.5 million of deferred debt issuance costs and discounts on notes payable remaining as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

In the ordinary course of operations, the Company incurs fees and costs as part of the execution and refinancing of our various debt instruments. These costs typically represent facility fees, rating agency fees and other legal costs incurred in connection to our CLOs and consist of a 1.00% fee on commitments received, as well as a 2.00% leverage fee, a 0.375% underwriting fee and a 0.05% administrative fee on our SBA Borrowings. Deferred debt issuance costs are included on the consolidated statements of financial condition as a reduction to the carrying amount of the related liability with the exception of those costs associated with our revolving credit facilities, which are included within other assets on our consolidated statement of financial condition. The deferred debt issuance costs will be amortized over the stated maturity of the debt liability to which they relate. As of September 30, 2017, $4.2 million of deferred debt issuance costs and discounts on notes payable remained on our consolidated statement of financial position and was comprised of $2.7 million of costs related to the 2016-2 CLO, $1.4 million of costs related to our SBA Borrowings and $0.1 million of costs related to the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes. As of December 31, 2016, $4.5 million of deferred debt issuance costs and discounts on notes payable remained on our consolidated statement of financial position and was comprised of $2.9 million of costs related to our CLOs, $1.5 million of costs related to our SBA Borrowings and $0.1 million of costs related to the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes.

Investment Advisory Agreement

The Investment Adviser is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting research and diligence on prospective investments and equity sponsors, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring our investments and monitoring our investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis subject to the supervision of the Board. The Investment Adviser was organized in November 2010 and is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Investment Adviser is an affiliate of Garrison Investment Group LP (the “Investment Manager”), which is also the investment manager of various stockholders of the Company.

GARS entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser, most recently amended and restated on May 3, 2017, which entitles the Investment Adviser to a management fee and an incentive fee, both of which are described further below.

On May 3, 2017, the Company entered into the fourth amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser following approval of the agreement by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders. The Fourth Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, which is effective beginning as of May 3, 2017, (i) reduced the management fee from an annual rate of 1.75% to an annual rate of 1.50% of the Company’s gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds, payable quarterly in arrears and (ii) reduced the hurdle rate for the income component of the incentive fee from 2.00% per quarter (8.00% annualized) to 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized).

Advisory Fee Waivers

From October 1, 2016 through May 2, 2017, the Investment Adviser, in consultation with the Board, irrevocably waived any fees payable to the Investment Adviser under the third amended and restated investment advisory agreement, dated August 5, 2016, with respect to a calendar quarter in excess of the sum of (i) 0.375% per quarter (1.50% annualized) of the gross assets of the Company, excluding cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds, calculated based on the average carrying value of the gross assets of the Company at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, (ii) 20% of pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, in excess of a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized) and (iii) in the case of the final calendar quarter of each year, the capital gains incentive fee.

Management Fee

Under the Fourth Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, effective May 3, 2017, the Investment Adviser is entitled to a management fee for its services calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, and cash and cash equivalents, restricted, but including assets purchased with borrowed funds. For purposes of the Investment Advisory Agreement, cash equivalents means U.S. government securities and commercial paper maturing within 270 days of purchase. Under the third amended and restated investment advisory agreement, the management fee was calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, and cash equivalents, restricted, but including assets purchased with borrowed funds.

The following table details our management fee expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
Management Fees ($ in thousands)	2017		2016		2017			2016

Management fee waived		—		—		(310	)		—
Total management fees, net of waived fees	$	1,374	$	1,805	$	4,113		$	5,479

Management fees of $1.4 million and $0.1 million were payable as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and are included in management fee payable on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Incentive Fee Overview

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser is entitled to an incentive fee consisting of two components and a cap and deferral mechanism. The two components are independent of each other, and may result in one component being payable even if the other is not.

Under the Fourth Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, the first component, which is income-based and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.00% of the amount, if any, that the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds a 1.75% quarterly (7.00% annualized) hurdle rate (the “Hurdle Rate”), subject to a “catch-up” provision measured at the end of each calendar quarter.

The operation of the first component of the incentive fee for each quarter is as follows:

•

no incentive fee will be payable to the Investment Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the Hurdle Rate of 1.75%;

•

100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser. We refer to this portion of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than 2.1875%) as the “catch-up.” The effect of the “catch-up” provision is that, if such pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter, the Investment Adviser will receive 20% of such pre-incentive fee net investment income as if the Hurdle Rate did not apply; and

•

20% of the amount of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser (once the Hurdle Rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved).

5. Related Party Transactions and Other Agreements – (continued)

Under the third amended and restated investment advisory agreement, the first component of the incentive fee equaled 20.00% of the amount, if any, that the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeded a 2.00% quarterly (8.00% annualized) hurdle rate, subject to a “catch-up” provision measured at the end of each calendar quarter.

The portion of such incentive fee that is attributable to deferred interest (such as PIK interest or original issue discount) will be paid to the Investment Adviser, together with any other interest accrued on the loan from the date of deferral to the date of payment, only if and to the extent the Company actually receives such interest in cash, and any accrual thereof will be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write-off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual. Any reversal of such amounts would reduce net income for the quarter by the net amount of the reversal (after taking into account the reversal of incentive fees payable) and would result in a reduction and possible elimination of the incentive fees for such quarter. For the avoidance of doubt, no incentive fee will be paid to the Investment Adviser on amounts accrued and not paid in respect of deferred interest.

The second component, which is capital gains-based, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date) and equals 20% of the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital gains through the end of such year, computed net of the Company’s aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital loss through the end of such year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees and subject to the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism described below. The capital-gains component of the incentive fee excludes any portion of realized gains/(losses) that are associated with the reversal of any portion of unrealized gain/(loss) attributable to periods prior to April 1, 2013. The capital gains component of the incentive fee is not subject to any minimum return to stockholders.

In addition, under U.S. GAAP, we are required to accrue a capital gains incentive fee based upon the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital gain and loss on investments held at the end of each period. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then the Company will record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains related incentive fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. There were no accrued capital gains incentive fees as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Investment Advisory Agreement does not permit unrealized capital gains for purposes of calculating the amount payable to the Investment Adviser. Amounts due related to unrealized capital gains, if any, will not be paid to the Investment Adviser until realized under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement (as described above).

Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism

We have structured the calculation of the incentive fees to include a fee limitation (the “Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism”) such that no incentive fee will be paid to our Investment Adviser for any fiscal quarter if, after such payment, the cumulative incentive fees paid to our Investment Adviser for the period that includes such fiscal quarter and the 11 full preceding fiscal quarters (the “Incentive Fee Look-back Period”) would exceed 20.00% of our Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return during the applicable Incentive Fee Look-back Period (the “Incentive Fee Cap”). The “Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return” is defined as the sum of (1) pre-incentive fee net investment income, (2) cumulative realized capital gains/(losses), and (3) cumulative unrealized capital gains/(losses) for the Incentive Fee Look-back Period. Prior to April 1, 2016, the Incentive Fee Look-back Period consisted of fewer than 12 full fiscal quarters.

As of September 30, 2017, the Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return was $1.9 million during the Incentive Fee Look-back Period. As a result, as of September 30, 2017, aggregate incentive fees payable to the Investment Adviser during the Incentive Fee Look-back Period were capped by the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism at $0.4 million (i.e. 20% of Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return during the Incentive Fee Look-back Period). As of September 30, 2017, an aggregate of $6.9 million had been paid to the Investment Adviser during the Incentive Fee Look-back Period. As a result, no Incentive Fees were payable to the Investment Adviser as of September 30, 2017.

Due to the fact that there is no clawback of amounts previously paid to the Investment Adviser in accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company has not recorded a receivable for the $6.5 million difference between amounts paid under the Investment Advisory Agreement in prior quarters and the Incentive Fee Cap based on the Company’s Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return as of September 30, 2017.

The $6.5 million difference may be used to reduce future amounts earned by the Investment Adviser. However, as noted above, no incentive fee will be paid to the Investment Adviser for any fiscal quarter if, after such payment, the cumulative incentive fees paid to our Investment Adviser for the Incentive Fee Look-back Period would exceed 20% of our Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return during the applicable Incentive Fee Look-back Period. To the extent unrealized capital losses incurred as of September 30, 2017 are reversed within the applicable Incentive Fee Look-back Period, the corresponding increase in our Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return may result in the Investment Adviser earning and being paid up to $7.4 million of income based incentive fees which are currently subject to the Incentive Fee Cap.

As of September 30, 2017, the Incentive Fee Look-back Period is in effect through June 30, 2020 and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses and pre-incentive net investment income earned during the three months ended September 30, 2017 will cease to impact the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral after this date.

The Investment Adviser earned aggregate incentive fees of $0.8 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Investment Adviser did not earn any aggregate incentive fees for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and earned aggregate incentive fees of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. However, none of the incentive fees earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 were payable due to the Incentive Fee Cap. In addition, no incentive fees were payable on the consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 due to the Incentive Fee Cap.

Administration Agreement

GARS entered into an administration agreement, which was effective as of October 9, 2012 (the “Administration Agreement”), with GARS Administrator. Under the Administration Agreement, the GARS Administrator provides the Company with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities and such other services as the GARS Administrator, subject to review by the Board, from time to time determines to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under the Administration Agreement. The GARS Administrator is responsible for the financial and other records that the Company is required to maintain and prepares reports to stockholders, and reports and other materials filed with the SEC.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Company adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of our dividends and other distributions on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash as provided below. As a result, if the Board declares a cash dividend or other distribution, then our stockholders who have not ‘opted out’ of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, which may be newly issued shares or shares acquired by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”), the transfer and dividend paying agent and registrar to GARS, through open-market purchases, rather than receiving the cash distribution. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no new shares were issued pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan.

8. Stockholders’ Equity – (continued)

No action is required on the part of a registered stockholder to have its cash dividend or other distribution reinvested in shares of our common stock. A registered stockholder may elect to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying AST in writing so that such notice is received by AST no later than the record date for distributions to stockholders.

Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends and other distributions in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

Stock Repurchase Program

On October 5, 2015, GARS adopted a share repurchase plan that provided for repurchase of up to $10.0 million of its common stock at prices below GARS' net asset value per share as reported in its most recent financial statements. Under the repurchase program, GARS could, but was not obligated to, repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time. Repurchases by GARS complied with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act. The repurchase program terminated in accordance with its terms on October 5, 2016. GARS' net asset value per share was increased by approximately $0.10 as a result of the aggregate share repurchases.

Shares repurchased		-		458,242
Average price per share	$	-	$	11.00
Weighted average discount to net asset value		-		(20.14	)%

9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $5.4 million and $4.8 million under various undrawn revolvers and other credit facilities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be named as a defendant or a plaintiff in various lawsuits and other legal proceedings. Such proceedings include actions brought against the Company and others with respect to transactions to which the Company may have been a party. The outcomes of such lawsuits are uncertain and, based on these lawsuits, the values of the investments to which they relate could decrease. Management does not believe that as a result of litigation there would be any material impact on the consolidated financial condition of the Company. The Company has had no outstanding litigation proceedings brought against it since the commencement of operations on December 17, 2010.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these indemnifications is unknown. However, no liabilities have arisen under these indemnifications in the past and, while there can be no assurances in this regard, there is no expectation that any will occur in the future. Therefore, the Company does not consider it necessary to record a liability for any indemnifications under U.S. GAAP.

Overview

We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. In addition, for tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and intend to qualify annually for such treatment. Our shares are currently listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “GARS”.

Our investment activities are managed by our Investment Adviser. The six member investment committee of our Investment Adviser is comprised of Joseph Tansey, Brian Chase, Mitch Drucker, Susan George, Robert Chimenti and Joshua Brandt. Our Investment Adviser is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting research and diligence on prospective investments and equity sponsors, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring our investments and monitoring our investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. Under an investment advisory agreement with the Investment Adviser, or the Investment Advisory Agreement, we pay a management fee and an incentive fee to our Investment Adviser for its services. Garrison Capital Administrator LLC, or the Administrator, provides certain administrative services and facilities necessary for us to operate, including office facilities and equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record-keeping services, pursuant to an administration agreement, or the Administration Agreement. The Administrator oversees our financial reporting and prepares our reports to stockholders and reports required to be filed with the SEC.

The Administrator also manages the determination and publication of our net asset value, the preparation and filing of our tax returns and generally monitors the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. The Administrator may retain third parties to assist in providing administrative services to us. To the extent that the Administrator outsources any of its functions, we pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without any profit to the Administrator.

As of September 30, 2017, we held investments in 61 portfolio companies with a fair value of $359.1 million, including investments in 43 portfolio companies held through the 2016-2 CLO. The investments held by the 2016-2 CLO as of September 30, 2017 consisted of senior secured loans fair valued at $262.4 million and related indebtedness of $164.5 million. The investments held by the 2016-2 CLO (held at fair value), together with cash and other assets held by the CLO, equaled approximately $278.5 million as of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, our portfolio had an average investment size of approximately $5.7 million, a weighted average yield on debt investments of 10.4% and a weighted average contractual maturity of 36 months. Weighted average yield is calculated based on the fair value of the investments and interest expected to be received using the current rate of interest at the balance sheet date to maturity, excluding the effects of future scheduled principal amortizations.

As of December 31, 2016, we held investments in 57 portfolio companies with a fair value of $376.7 million, including investments in 41 portfolio companies held through the 2016-2 CLO. The investments held by the 2016-2 CLO as of December 31, 2016 consisted of senior secured loans fair valued at $260.2 million and related indebtedness of $164.3 million. As of that date, the investments held by the 2016-2 CLO (held at fair value), together with cash and other assets held by the 2016-2 CLO, equaled approximately $275.6 million. As of December 31, 2016, our portfolio had an average investment size of approximately $6.2 million, a weighted average yield on debt investments of 10.9% and a weighted average contractual maturity of 37 months.

Revenues

We generate revenue in the form of interest earned on the debt investments that we hold and capital gains and distributions, if any, on the equity interests or warrants that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Our debt investments, whether in the form of senior secured, unitranche or mezzanine loans, typically have a term of one to six years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest is generally payable quarterly or semiannually, and in some cases, loans may have a payment-in-kind feature. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of loan origination, prepayment, facility, commitment, forbearance and amendment fees. We also may receive structuring or diligence fees, consulting fees and possibly fees for providing managerial assistance. Origination fees received by us are initially deferred and reduced from the cost basis of the investment and subsequently accreted into interest income over the remaining stated term of the loan.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of (1) the management fee and incentive fee to the Investment Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (2) the allocable portion of overhead to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement; (3) the interest expense on our outstanding debt, if any; and (4) our other operating costs, as detailed below. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including:

•

our organization;

•

calculating our net asset value and net asset value per share (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firms);

•

fees and expenses, including travel expenses, incurred by the Investment Adviser or payable to third parties in performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies, monitoring our investments and, if necessary, enforcing our rights;

•

offerings of our common stock and other securities;

•

distributions on our shares;

•

transfer agent and custody fees and expenses;

•

amounts payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, evaluating, making and disposing of investments;

•

brokerage fees and commissions;

•

registration fees;

•

listing fees;

•

taxes;

•

independent director fees and expenses;

•

costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws;

•

the costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to our stockholders, including printing costs;

•

costs of holding stockholder meetings;

•

our fidelity bond;

•

directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance and any other insurance premiums;

•

litigation, indemnification and other non-recurring or extraordinary expenses;

•

direct costs and expenses of administration and operation, including audit and legal costs;

•

fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;

•

dues, fees and charges of any trade association of which we are a member; and

•

all other expenses reasonably incurred by us or the Administrator in connection with administering our business, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs and expenses of our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs.

During periods of asset growth, we expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable or decline as a percentage of total assets and increase during periods of asset declines.

Recent Developments

On November 1, 2017 the board of directors, or the Board, declared a distribution in the amount of $4.5 million, or $0.28 a share, which will be paid on December 22, 2017 to stockholders of record as of December 8, 2017.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The results of operations described below may not be indicative of the results we report in future periods. Net income can vary substantially from period to period for various reasons, including the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized gains and losses. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not be meaningful.

Consolidated operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended									Nine Months Ended
($ in thousands, except per share data)	September 30, 2017			September 30, 2016			Three Months Variance			September 30, 2017			September 30, 2016			Nine Months Variance

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $4.2 million and $13.0 million, respectively. Net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $2.5 million and $14.2 million, respectively. As described below under “Investment Income” and “Expenses”, net investment income increased by $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from the three months ended September 30, 2016, and decreased by $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Investment Income

Investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $8.9 million and $26.9 million, respectively. Investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $11.1 million and $33.3 million, respectively. Investment income decreased by $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to a decrease in interest income and other income in the amounts of $2.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The decrease in interest income was largely driven by our non-performing assets and lower investment yields during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in other income was primarily driven by fewer prepayment and amendment fees recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. Investment income decreased by $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to a decrease in interest income in the amount of $6.7 million offset by an increase in other income of $0.3 million. The decrease in interest income was largely driven by our non-performing assets and lower investment yields during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in other income was primarily driven by prepayment fees recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Expenses

Total expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $4.7 million and $14.0 million, respectively. Total expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $8.6 million and $19.1 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes our expenses, excluding the loss on refinancing of the secured notes, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016:

	Three Months Ended							Nine Months Ended
($ in thousands)	September 30, 2017		September 30, 2016		Three Months Variance			September 30, 2017		September 30, 2016		Nine Months Variance

Total expenses	$	4,718	$	6,740	$	(2,022	)	$	13,972	$	17,318	$	(3,346	)

Interest expense decreased $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to the acceleration of deferred financing costs, as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470, Debt, in association with the refinancing of the Garrison Funding 2013-2 Ltd. collateralized loan obligation. Refer to Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure regarding the refinancing.

Management fees decreased by $0.4 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to a reduction in our management fee rate and the irrevocable waiver of certain fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Refer to Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures regarding fee waivers.

Professional fees decreased by $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily driven by lower consulting and legal fees.

Administrator fees decreased by $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to lower staffing overhead.

Net Realized (Loss)/Gain and Unrealized (Loss)/Gain on Investments

There were no material realized gains or losses for the three months ended September 30, 2017. We realized net gains of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $11.2 million and $29.6 million of net realized losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

The net realized losses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were primarily driven by a $11.1 million loss on BFN Operations LLC and $0.3 million of realized losses in the GLC Trust 2013-2’s consumer loan portfolio. This was partially offset by $0.2 million of gains from full repayments of Connexity Inc., HC Cable OpCo, LLC and Vistronix, LLC.

Net realized losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were primarily driven by a $12.6 million loss on Speed Commerce Inc., a $11.1 million loss on BFN Operations LLC, a $5.8 million loss on Forest Park Medical Center at Fort Worth and $1.0 million of realized losses in the GLC Trust 2013-2’s consumer loan portfolio. This was partially offset by a $0.3 million gain on Ellman International, Inc. and $0.6 million of gains from the partial and full repayment and sales of other portfolio investments.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the net change in unrealized gain and loss on investments was $0.3 million and $11.0 million, respectively.

The net change in unrealized gain from investments for the three months ended September 30, 2017 of $0.3 million was driven primarily by a positive fair value adjustment on our investment in Sprint Industrial Holdings of $0.5 million and the reversal of an unrealized loss of $0.3 million on our investment in Raymond Express International. This was offset by a negative fair value adjustment on our preferred equity investment in Prosper Marketplace of $0.6 million.

The net change in unrealized loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $11.0 million was driven primarily by negative fair value adjustments on our investments in Walnut Hill Physicians Hospital, Speed Commerce Operating Company, Badlands Production Company and Prosper Marketplace investments in the amounts of $4.3 million, $3.3 million, $2.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. These fair value adjustments were the result of decreases in our expected recoveries on these investments and were offset by an aggregate $0.7 million of positive fair value adjustments across our remaining portfolio.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the net change in unrealized gain on investments was $7.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively.

The net change in unrealized gain for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily driven by the reversal of prior period unrealized losses on BFN Operations LLC of $11.1 million. In addition, we recognized positive fair value adjustments of $0.9 million on our syndicated credits and $0.3 million on Provo Craft Holdings, LLC. This was offset by $4.5 million of aggregate negative credit-related adjustments driven primarily by Badlands Productions Company, Forest Park Medical Center at San Antonio, Rooster Energy Inc. and SC Academy Holdings, Inc. and $0.2 million of negative market related markdowns on our preferred equity investment in Prosper Marketplace.

The net change in unrealized gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was driven primarily by the reversal of prior period unrealized losses on the Speed Commerce, Inc. BFN Operations LLC and Forest park Medical Center at Fort Worth investments in the amounts of $9.8 million, $5.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively. This was offset by a $6.5 million of aggregate negative credit-related adjustments on our investments in Badlands Productions Company, Forest Park Medical Center at San Antonio, SC Academy Holdings, Inc. and Rooster Energy Inc., aggregate adjustments of $0.3 million on our investments in Badlands Production Company and Rooster Energy Inc. and a net $2.3 million of negative market-related adjustments. These market-related adjustments were primarily driven by our preferred equity investment in Prosper Marketplace and our syndicated loan credits.

Net Increase/(Decrease) in Net Assets from Operations

We had a net asset value per common share outstanding on September 30, 2017 of $11.74. We had a net asset value per common share outstanding on December 31, 2016 of $12.42.

Based on basic weighted average shares outstanding of 16,049,352, the net decrease in net assets from operations per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.16. This decrease was primarily driven by net change in unrealized losses from investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Based on basic weighted average shares outstanding of 16,183,615, the net decrease in net assets from operations per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.47.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a business development company, we distribute substantially all of our net income to our stockholders and will have an ongoing need to raise additional capital for investment purposes. We generate cash primarily from offerings of our equity securities and the issuance of debt securities including the 2016-2 Notes, as described below, Garrison SBIC Debentures and any repayments of portfolio investments. In addition, our cash flows from operations, including interest earned from the temporary investment of cash in U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less also provide liquidity.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had cash of $14.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Also, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had restricted cash of $14.6 million and $12.6 million, respectively.

In addition to proceeds from public and private offerings of our debt and equity securities, we have identified seven portfolio companies with a total par value of $20.5 million and a fair value of $20.0 million which we view as transitory investments. Transitory investments are generally those investments that we view as an additional source of liquidity that we are able to sell in order to fund investments that fit our core investment strategy. These transitory investments are generally at the lower end of our target portfolio yield range.

Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies, cash distributions to holders of our common stock, payments of interest on our debt, and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings and our transitory portfolio as of September 30, 2017 will be sufficient to fund our anticipated funding requirements through at least September 30, 2018.

On August 1, 2017 the Board approved a distribution in the amount of $4.5 million, or $0.28 a share, which was paid on September 22, 2017 to stockholders of record as of September 8, 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash increased by $4.3 million as a result of net cash provided by operating activities of $22.0 million, offset by net cash used in financing activities in the amount of $17.7 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash provided by operating activities resulted mainly from net investment income in the amount of $13.0 million and the net repayments of investments in the amount of $8.1 million. Net cash used in financing activities resulted from cash distributions in the amount of $13.5 million and repayment of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Class A notes in the amount of $4.2 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cash decreased by $18.3 million as a result of net cash used by financing activities in the amount of $21.6 million offset by net cash provided by operating activities of $3.3 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cash provided by operating activities resulted mainly from net investment income in the amount of $14.2 million, repayments and sales of investments in the amount of $67.8 million and $27.0 million, respectively, an increase in due from counterparties of $1.5 million, and a decrease in accrued interest receivable of $1.7 million, offset by purchases of investments of $99.9 million, realized losses from investments in the amount of $29.6 million, a decrease in restricted cash of $10.8 million, and a change in unrealized gain of $7.8 million. Net cash used in financing activities resulted from cash distributions in the amount of $17.0 million, repurchases of common stock in the amount of $5.0 million, repayment of the 2013-2 CLO senior secured revolving notes in the amount of $10.0 million, repayment of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Class A notes in the amount of $8.8 million and debt issuance costs of $2.4 million, offset by proceeds from the Garrison SBIC borrowings in the amount of $15.7 million and borrowings on the 2016-2 CLO term note of $6.0 million.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $5.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, of unfunded commitments with a negative fair value of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. These amounts may or may not be funded to the borrowing party now or in the future. The unfunded commitments relate to loans with various maturity dates, but the entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, subject to the terms of each loan’s respective credit agreement.

Subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had approximately $20.6 million and $25.0 million, respectively, available for additional borrowings under our senior secured revolving notes of the 2016-2 CLO, $33.0 million of available small business investment company, or SBIC, leverage and no available borrowings under the GLC Trust 2013-2 Revolver.

Portfolio Composition and Select Portfolio Information

As of September 30, 2017, we held investments in 61 portfolio companies with a fair value of $359.1 million. As of September 30, 2017, our portfolio had an average investment size of approximately $5.7 million, a weighted average yield on debt investments of 10.4% and a weighted average contractual maturity of 36 months.

PDPs are proven revenues that can be produced with existing wells. As of September 30, 2017, non-operating portfolio companies with an aggregate $52.9 million of par value and $30.9 million of fair value were excluded.

* Table excludes positions with a fair market value of zero, except for the number of portfolio companies.

Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant effect on our results of operations in any of the reporting periods presented in our financial statements. However, from time to time, inflation may impact the operating results of our portfolio companies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We may become a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of our business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. These instruments may include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $5.4 million and $4.8 million of outstanding commitments to fund such investments, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $29.3 million and $22.9 million, respectively, of cash and restricted cash.

Ongoing Monitoring

We view active portfolio monitoring as a vital part of the investment process. Our Investment Adviser monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company to determine if it is meeting its respective business plan and to assess the appropriate course of action for each company.

Our Investment Adviser uses several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include the following:

•

assessment of success in adhering to portfolio company’s business plan and compliance with covenants;

•

periodic and regular contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic sponsor, to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;

•

comparisons to other portfolio companies in the industry, if any;

•

attendance at and participation in board meetings; and

•

review of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections for portfolio companies.

Our Investment Adviser assigns an internal rating for each of our portfolio companies. The rating scale is a numeric scale of 1 to 4 based on the credit attributes and prospects of the portfolio company’s business. In general, we use the ratings as follows:

•

a rating of 1 denotes a high quality investment with no loss of principal expected;

•

a rating of 2 denotes a moderate to high quality investment with no loss of principal expected;

•

a rating of 3 denotes a moderate quality investment with market rates of expected loss of principal and potential non-compliance with financial covenants; and

•

a rating of 4 denotes a low quality investment with an expected loss of principal. In the case of risk rating 4 loans, our Investment Adviser will assign a recovery value to the loan.

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 4 investment risk scale at fair value, excluding our interest in GLC Trust 2013-2 and equity investments, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

	As of September 30, 2017					As of December 31, 2016
($ in thousands)	Investments at Fair Value		Percentage of Total Investments			Investments at Fair Value		Percentage of Total Investments
Risk Rating 1	$	9,000		2.5	%	$	34,695		9.5	%
Risk Rating 2		154,431		44.0			152,762		42.0
Risk Rating 3		175,625		50.0			163,854		45.0
Risk Rating 4		12,216		3.5			12,649		3.5
	$	351,272		100.0	%	$	363,960		100.0	%

The weighted average risk rating of the portfolio increased to 2.6 as of September 30, 2017 from 2.5 as of December 31, 2016 as a result of the repayments of investments with a risk rating of one.

Contractual Obligations

A summary of our significant contractual payment obligations as of September 30, 2017 is as follows:

	Payments Due by Period

Total contractual obligations	$	—	$	—	$	830	$	204,000	$	204,830

We have certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser provides us with investment advisory and management services. We have agreed to pay for these services (1) a management fee equal to a percentage of the average adjusted value of our gross assets and (2) an incentive fee based on our performance.

We entered into the Administration Agreement on October 9, 2012 with the Administrator. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes us with office facilities and equipment, provides us clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services and provides us with other administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations.

If any of the contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs under any new agreements that we enter into may increase. In addition, we would likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive under our Investment Advisory Agreement and our Administration Agreement. Any new investment advisory agreement would also be subject to approval by our stockholders.

Both the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon no fewer than 60 days’ written notice to the other.

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:

•

We entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Investment Adviser, under which our Investment Adviser is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting research and diligence on prospective investments and equity sponsors, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring our investments and monitoring our investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis.

•

The Administrator provides us with the office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct day-to-day operations pursuant to our Administration Agreement.

•

We have entered into the License Agreement with Garrison Investment Group pursuant to which Garrison Investment Group has agreed to grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Garrison.”

•

GLC Trust 2013-2 entered into the GLC Trust 2013-2 Administration Agreement with the GARS Administrator, fees incurred under this agreement are included in total administrator expenses presented on the consolidated statement of operations.

•

Under the Staffing Agreement, Garrison Investment Group provides the Investment Adviser with the resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Staffing Agreement provides that Garrison Investment Group will make available to the Investment Adviser experienced investment professionals and access to the senior investment personnel of Garrison Investment Group for purposes of evaluating, negotiating, structuring, closing and monitoring our investments. The Staffing Agreement also includes a commitment that the members of the Investment Adviser’s investment committee serve in such capacity.

The Staffing Agreement remains in effect until terminated and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party. Services under the Staffing Agreement are provided to the Investment Adviser on a direct cost reimbursement basis, and such fees are not our obligation.

•

In connection with the 2016-2 CLO, we retained the Investment Adviser to furnish collateral management sub-management services to us pursuant to a sub-collateral management agreement. The Investment Adviser does not receive a fee for providing such services.

•

From October 1, 2016 through May 2, 2017, the Investment Adviser, in consultation with our Board, irrevocably waived any fees payable to the Investment Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to a calendar quarter in excess of the sum of (i) 0.375% per quarter (1.50% annualized) of our gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds, calculated based on the average carrying value of our gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, (ii) 20% of pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, in excess of a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized) and (iii) in the case of the final calendar quarter of each year, the capital gains incentive fee.

We have adopted a joint code of ethics that governs the conduct of our and our Investment Adviser’s officers, directors and employees. Our officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by both the 1940 Act and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. We have identified the following as critical accounting policies.

Basis for Consolidation

As a result, GARS has consolidated the results of Garrison Funding 2013-2 Manager, LLC, Garrison Funding 2013-2 Ltd., Garrison Funding 2016-2 Ltd., Garrison Capital SBIC, LP, GLC Trust 2013-2 and a series of limited liability companies that GARS created primarily to provide specific tax treatment for the minority equity and other investments held in these limited liability companies.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

•

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.

•

Our investments include debt investments (both funded and unfunded), preferred and minority common equity investments of diversified companies (“Equity”) and a portfolio of unsecured small balance consumer loans (“Financial Assets”). Due to the nature of the Company’s strategy, the Company’s portfolio is primarily comprised of relatively illiquid investments that are privately held. Inputs into the determination of fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments require significant management judgment or estimation. This means that the Company’s portfolio valuations are based on unobservable inputs and the Investment Adviser’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability in question. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain and they may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates. The determination of fair value by the Board may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these investments existed.

Valuation of Investments

The following is a description of the different valuation techniques utilized by the Company.

Debt and Equity Investments

Market comparable companies – This valuation technique determines the total enterprise value of a company by assessing the expected multiple that a market participant would apply to that company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, revenue or other collateral that secures the investment. These valuation multiples are typically determined based on reviewing market comparable transactions or other comparable publicly traded companies, if any. The resulting enterprise value will dictate whether or not the Company’s debt investment has adequate enterprise value coverage. In instances where the enterprise value is inadequate, the market comparable companies approach may be used to estimate a recovery value for our credit-impaired debt investments. The Company generally also uses this approach for its equity investments.

Financial Assets

Valuation Process

•

The Company’s valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for credit monitoring.

•

The Investment Adviser submits these preliminary valuations to the Valuation Committee of the Board.

•

The Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith.

As noted above, the Board has retained several independent valuation firms to review the valuation of each portfolio investment that does not have a readily available market quotation at least once during each 12-month period. To the extent a security is reviewed in a particular quarter, it is reviewed and valued by only one service provider. However, the Board does not intend to have de minimis investments of less than 0.5% of the Company’s total assets (up to an aggregate of 10.0% of the Company’s total assets) independently reviewed.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income and Expense

The Company records its investment transactions on a trade date basis, which is the date when management has determined that all material legal terms have been contractually defined for the transactions. These transactions could possibly settle on a subsequent date depending on the transaction type. Any amounts related to purchase, sale and principal paydowns that have traded but not settled will be reflected as either a due to counterparty or due from counterparty on our Statement of Financial Condition. All related revenue and expenses attributable to our investment transactions are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations commencing on the trade date unless otherwise specified by the transaction documents. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific identification method.

Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. PIK represents accrued interest that is added to the principal amount of the investment on the respective interest payment dates instead of being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is recorded on an accrual basis and is adjusted for amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and any original issue discount.

Loan Origination, Facility, Commitment and Amendment Fees

Origination fees received by the Company are initially deferred and reduced from the cost basis of the investment and subsequently accreted into interest income over the remaining stated term of the loan.

Distributions

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is determined by our Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. During the period covered by our financial statements, the majority of the loans in our portfolio had floating interest rates, and we expect that our loans in the future will also have floating interest rates. These loans usually have floating interest rates based on the London Interbank Offer Rate, or LIBOR, and typically have interest rate re-set provisions that adjust applicable LIBOR under such loans to current market rates on a regular basis. In addition, the 2016-2 CLO has a floating interest rate provision based on a cost of funds that approximates LIBOR and we expect that any other credit facilities into which we enter in the future may have floating interest rate provisions.

Assuming that the interim and unaudited consolidated statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2017 were to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.

	(Decrease)/increase			(Decrease)/increase			Net increase
Change in interest rates ($ in thousands)	in interest income			in interest expense			in investment income
Down 25 basis points	$	(619	)	$	(355	)	$	(264	)
Up 50 basis points		1,867			736			1,131
Up 100 basis points		3,543			1,446			2,097
Up 200 basis points		6,912			2,866			4,046
Up 300 basis points		10,315			4,286			6,029

Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for changes in the credit markets, the size, credit quality or composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments, including indebtedness under the 2016-2 CLO, Garrison SBIC borrowings or additional borrowings, that could affect our net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that actual results would not differ materially from the statement above.

We may in the future hedge against currency and interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors, including with respect to the obligations of the 2016-2 CLO, to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in currency exchange and interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates. We and our Investment Adviser have not hedged any of the obligations of the 2016-2 CLO.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this 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) under the Exchange Act). Based on our evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of material information about us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, are based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and 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. There has not been any change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
