Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation
Consolidated Schedule of Investments
December 31, 2017
(unaudited)




(1)
All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise noted. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted.
(2)
See Note 3 in the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition by geographic region.
(3)
Control Investments generally are defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), as investments in companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities or maintains greater than 50% of the board representation.
(4)
Affiliate Investments generally are defined by the 1940 Act as investments in companies in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities.
(5)
Principal includes accumulated payment in kind ("PIK") interest and is net of repayments, if any.
(6)
Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments are investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.
(7)
Investment is not a qualifying asset as defined under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, 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 December 31, 2017, qualifying assets represented 75.6% of the Company's total assets and non-qualifying assets represented 24.4% of the Company's total assets.
(8)
The interest rate on the principal balance outstanding for all floating rate loans is indexed to London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and/or an alternate base rate (e.g., prime rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. For each of these loans, the Company has provided the applicable margin over LIBOR or the alternate base rate based on each respective credit agreement and the cash interest rate as of period end.
(9)
Interest rates may be adjusted from period to period on certain term loans and revolvers. These rate adjustments may be either temporary in nature due to tier pricing arrangements or financial or payment covenant violations in the original credit agreements or permanent in nature per loan amendment or waiver documents.
(10)
Each of the Company's investments is pledged as collateral under one or more of its credit facilities or its debt securitization. A single investment may be divided into parts that are individually pledged as collateral to separate credit facilities.
(11)
Investment has undrawn commitments. Unamortized fees are classified as unearned income which reduces cost basis, which may result in a negative cost basis. A negative fair value may result from the unfunded commitment being valued below par.
(12)
As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be both an "Affiliated Person" of and to "Control" this portfolio company as the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company's outstanding voting securities or has the power to exercise control over management or policies of such portfolio company (including through a management agreement). See Schedule 12-14 in the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for transactions during the three months ended December 31, 2017 in which the issuer was both an Affiliated Person and a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to control.
(13)
Investment pledged as collateral under the Company's 2015 Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 6 - Borrowings), in whole or in part.
(14)
Equity ownership may be held in shares or units of companies related to the portfolio companies.
(15)
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition.
(16)
As of December 31, 2017, these investments are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy established by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"). All other investments, with the exception of investments valued using net asset value as a practical expedient, are categorized as Level 3 as of December 31, 2017 and were valued using significant unobservable inputs.
(17)
This investment was on cash non-accrual status as of December 31, 2017. Cash non-accrual status is inclusive of PIK and other non-cash income, where applicable.
(18)
This investment was valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value. Consistent with FASB guidance under ASC 820, these investments are excluded from the hierarchical levels.

Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation
Consolidated Schedule of Investments
September 30, 2017

(1)
All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise noted. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted.
(2)
See Note 3 in the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition by geographic region.
(3)
Control Investments generally are defined by the 1940 Act as investments in companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities or maintains greater than 50% of the board representation.
(4)
Affiliate Investments generally are defined by the 1940 Act as investments in companies in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities.
(5)
Principal includes accumulated PIK interest and is net of repayments, if any.
(6)
Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments are investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.
(7)
Investment is not a qualifying asset as defined under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, 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 June 30, 2017, qualifying assets represented 89.6% of the Company's total assets and non-qualifying assets represented 10.4% of the Company's total assets.
(8)
The interest rate on the principal balance outstanding for all floating rate loans is indexed to LIBOR and/or an alternate base rate (e.g., prime rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. For each of these loans, the Company has provided the applicable margin over LIBOR or the alternate base rate based on each respective credit agreement and the cash interest rate as of period end.
(9)
Interest rates may be adjusted from period to period on certain term loans and revolvers. These rate adjustments may be either temporary in nature due to tier pricing arrangements or financial or payment covenant violations in the original credit agreements or permanent in nature per loan amendment or waiver documents.
(10)
Each of the Company's investments is pledged as collateral under one or more of its credit facilities or its debt securitization. A single investment may be divided into parts that are individually pledged as collateral to separate credit facilities.
(11)
Investment has undrawn commitments. Unamortized fees are classified as unearned income which reduces cost basis, which may result in a negative cost basis. A negative fair value may result from the unfunded commitment being valued below par.
(12)
As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be both an "Affiliated Person" of and to "Control" this portfolio company as the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company's outstanding voting securities or has the power to exercise control over management or policies of such portfolio company (including through a management agreement). See Schedule 12-14 in the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for transactions during the three months ended December 31, 2016 in which the issuer was both an Affiliated Person and a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to control.
(13)
Investment pledged as collateral under the Company's 2015 Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 6 - Borrowings), in whole or in part.
(14)
Equity ownership may be held in shares or units of companies related to the portfolio companies.
(15)
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition.
(16)
As of September 30, 2017, these investments are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820. All other investments, with the exception of investments valued using net asset value as a practical expedient, are categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2017 and were valued using significant unobservable inputs.
(17)
This investment was valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value. Consistent with FASB guidance under ASC 820, these investments are excluded from the hierarchical levels.
(18)
This investment was on cash non-accrual status as of September 30, 2017. Cash non-accrual status is inclusive of PIK and other non-cash income, where applicable.

OAKTREE STRATEGIC INCOME CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1. Organization
Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation (formerly known as Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. through October 17, 2017) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. The Company has qualified and elected to be treated as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), for tax purposes.
The Company seeks to generate a stable source of current income while minimizing the risk of principal loss and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by providing middle-market companies with primarily first lien secured debt financings that pay interest at rates which are determined periodically on the basis of a floating base lending rate. The Company also has an investment in a joint venture that invests in similar types of loans. The Company may also invest in senior unsecured loans issued by private middle-market companies and, to a lesser extent, subordinated loans issued by private middle market companies, senior and subordinated loans issued by public companies and equity investments.
As of October 17, 2017, the Company is externally managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree” or the “Investment Adviser”), a subsidiary of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (“OCG”), a global investment manager specializing in alternative investments, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Investment Adviser (the “New Investment Advisory Agreement”). Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC (“Oaktree Administrator” or “OFA”), a subsidiary of the Investment Adviser, provides certain administrative and other services necessary for the Company to operate pursuant to an administration agreement between the Company and OFA (the “New Administration Agreement”). See Note 11.
Prior to October 17, 2017, the Company was externally managed by Fifth Street Management LLC (“FSM”), an indirect, partially-owned subsidiary of Fifth Street Asset Management Inc. (“FSAM”), and FSC CT LLC ("FSC CT" or the "Former Administrator"), a subsidiary of FSM, also provided certain administrative and other services necessary for the Company to operate pursuant to an administration agreement (the “Former Administration Agreement”).
On September 7, 2017, stockholders of the Company approved the New Investment Advisory Agreement to take effect upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among FSM, and, for certain limited purposes, FSAM, and Fifth Street Holdings L.P., the direct, partial owner of FSM (the “Transaction”). Upon the closing of the Transaction on October 17, 2017, Oaktree became the investment adviser to each of Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation (formerly known as Fifth Street Finance Corp.) (“OCSL”) and the Company. The closing of the Transaction resulted in an assignment for purposes of the 1940 Act of the investment advisory agreement between FSM and the Company and, as a result, its immediate termination.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation:
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements have been made. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in FASB ASC Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies ("ASC 946").
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions affecting amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the economic and political environments, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ and such differences could be material. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments and revenue recognition.
Consolidation:
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Each consolidated subsidiary is wholly-owned and, as such, consolidated into the Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain subsidiaries that hold investments are treated as pass through entities for tax purposes. The assets of certain of the consolidated subsidiaries are not directly available to satisfy the claims of the creditors of Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation or any

OAKTREE STRATEGIC INCOME CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


of its other subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2017, the consolidated subsidiaries were FS Senior Funding CLO LLC, FS Senior Funding II LLC and FS Senior Funding Ltd. (“2015 Issuer”).
Since the Company is an investment company, portfolio investments held by the Company are not consolidated into the Consolidated Financial Statements. The portfolio investments held by the Company are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as investments at fair value.

Fair Value Measurements:
The Company is required to report its investments for which current market values are not readily available at fair value. The Company values its investments in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A liability's fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices derived from such prices over entity-specific inputs. Where observable prices or inputs are not available or reliable, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments' complexity.
Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
 
Level 1 — Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data at the measurement date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
If inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, an investment's level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. This includes investment securities that are valued using "bid" and "ask" prices obtained from independent third party pricing services or directly from brokers. These investments may be classified as Level 3 because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities or may require adjustments for investment-specific factors or restrictions.
Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value. As such, the Investment Adviser obtains and analyzes readily available market quotations provided by independent pricing services for all of the Company's first lien and second lien ("senior secured") debt investments for which quotations are available. In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing services use observable market information, including both binding and non-binding indicative quotations.
The Investment Adviser evaluates quotations provided by independent pricing services and company specific data that could affect the credit quality and/or fair value of the investment. Investments for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, the Investment Adviser looks at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. The Investment Adviser does not adjust the prices unless it has a reason to believe market quotations are not reflective of the fair value of an investment. Examples of events that would cause market quotations to not reflect fair value could include cases when a security trades infrequently causing a quoted purchase or sale price to become stale or in the event of a "fire sale" by a distressed seller. In these instances, the Company values such investments by using the valuation procedure that it uses with respect to assets for which market quotations are not readily available (as discussed below).
If the quotation provided by the pricing service is based on only one or two market sources, the Company performs additional procedures to corroborate such information, which may include the market yield technique discussed below and a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the credit quality and market trends affecting the portfolio company.
The Company performs detailed valuations of its debt and equity investments for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to represent fair value of the investments. The Company typically uses three different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is the transaction precedent technique, which utilizes recent or expected future transactions of the investment to determine fair value, to the extent applicable. The second valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value

EV means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The EV analysis is typically performed to determine (i) the value of equity investments, (ii) whether there is credit impairment for debt investments and (iii) the value for debt investments that the Company is deemed to control under the 1940 Act. To estimate the EV of a portfolio company, the Investment Adviser analyzes various factors, including the portfolio company’s historical and projected financial results, macroeconomic impacts on the company and competitive dynamics in the company’s industry. The Investment Adviser also utilizes some or all of the following information based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company: (i) valuations of comparable public companies, (ii) recent sales of private and public comparable companies in similar industries or having similar business or earnings characteristics, (iii) purchase price multiples as a multiple of their earnings or cash flow, (iv) the portfolio company’s ability to meet its forecasts and its business prospects, (v) a discounted cash flow analysis, (vi) estimated liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company's assets and (vii) offers from third parties to buy the portfolio company. The Company may probability weight potential sale outcomes with respect to a portfolio company when uncertainty exists as of the valuation date. The third valuation technique is a market yield technique, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments. In the market yield technique, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk, and the Company considers the current contractual interest rate, the capital structure and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the EV of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by the Company are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Company depends on primary market data, including newly funded transactions and industry specific market movements, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.
In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that qualify as investment companies in accordance with ASC 946 may be valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value. Consistent with FASB guidance under ASC 820, these investments are excluded from the hierarchical levels.
The Company estimates the fair value of privately held warrants using a Black Scholes pricing model, which includes an analysis of various factors and subjective assumptions including the current stock price (by using an EV analysis as described above), the expected period until exercise, expected volatility of the underlying stock price, expected dividends and the risk free rate. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.
The Company's Board of Directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of the Company's investments:
The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the Investment Adviser's valuation team in conjunction with the Investment Adviser's portfolio management team and investment professionals responsible for each portfolio investment;
Preliminary valuations are then reviewed and discussed with management of the Investment Adviser;
Separately, independent valuation firms engaged by the Board of Directors prepare valuations of the Company's investments, on a selected basis, for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment, and submit the reports to the Company and provide such reports to the Investment Adviser and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors;
The Investment Adviser compares and contrasts its preliminary valuations to the valuations of the independent valuation firms and prepares a valuation report for the Audit Committee;
The Audit Committee reviews the preliminary valuations with the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser responds and supplements the preliminary valuations to reflect any discussions between the Investment Adviser and the Audit Committee;
The Audit Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board of Directors regarding the fair value of the investments in the Company's portfolio; and
The Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company's portfolio.
The fair value of the Company's investments as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 was determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has and will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of a portion of the Company's portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment each quarter, and the Board of Directors may reasonably rely on that assistance. However, the Board of Directors is responsible for the ultimate valuation of the

23

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Company's valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.
With the exception of the line items entitled "deferred financing costs," "other assets," "credit facilities payable" and "notes payable," which are reported at amortized cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying value of the line items titled "interest, dividends, and fees receivable," "due from portfolio companies," "receivables from unsettled transactions," "accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities," "base management fee and incentive fee payable," "due to affiliate," "interest payable," "director fees payable" and "payables from unsettled transactions" approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Investment Income:
Interest Income
Interest income, adjusted for accretion of original issue discount ("OID"), is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company stops accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest cash payments will be collected. Cash interest payments received on investments may be recognized as income or a return of capital depending upon management’s judgment. A non-accrual investment is restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest are paid in cash, and the portfolio company, in management's judgment, is likely to continue timely payment of its remaining obligations.
In connection with its investment in a portfolio company, the Company sometimes receives nominal cost equity that is valued as part of the negotiation process with the portfolio company. When the Company receives nominal cost equity, the Company allocates its cost basis in the investment between debt securities and the nominal cost equity at the time of origination. Any resulting discount from recording the loan, or otherwise purchasing a security at a discount, is accreted into interest income over the life of the loan.
PIK Interest Income
The Company's investments in debt securities may contain PIK interest provisions. PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company generally ceases accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if the Company does not expect the portfolio company to be able to pay all principal and interest due. The Company's decision to cease accruing PIK interest involves subjective judgments and determinations based on available information about a particular portfolio company, including whether the portfolio company is current with respect to its payment of principal and interest on its loans and debt securities; financial statements and financial projections for the portfolio company; the Company's assessment of the portfolio company's business development success; information obtained by the Company in connection with periodic formal update interviews with the portfolio company's management and, if appropriate, the private equity sponsor; and information about the general economic and market conditions in which the portfolio company operates. Based on this and other information, the Company determines whether to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security. The Company's determination to cease accruing PIK interest is generally made well before the Company's full write-down of a loan or debt security. In addition, if it is subsequently determined that the Company will not be able to collect any previously accrued PIK interest, the fair value of the loans or debt securities would be reduced by the amount of such previously accrued, but uncollectible, PIK interest. The accrual of PIK interest on the Company’s debt investments increases the recorded cost bases of these investments in the Consolidated Financial Statements and, as a result, increases the cost bases of these investments for purposes of computing the capital gain incentive fee payable by the Company to the Investment Adviser beginning in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. To maintain its status as a RIC, income from PIK interest may be required to be distributed to the Company’s stockholders, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash and may never do so.
Fee Income
The Company receives a variety of fees in the ordinary course of business, including servicing, advisory, amendment, structuring and prepayment fees, which are classified as fee income and recognized as they are earned.
Dividend Income
The Company generally recognizes dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from equity investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not

24

OAKTREE STRATEGIC INCOME CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


record distributions from equity investments as dividend income unless there are sufficient earnings at the portfolio company prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in bank accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limit. Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 assets and are included on the Company's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
As of December 31, 2017, included in restricted cash was $6.2 million that was held at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in connection with the Company's Citibank facility and 2015 Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 6 — Borrowings). Pursuant to the terms of the Citibank facility, the Company was restricted in terms of access to $1.9 million of that amount until the occurrence of the periodic distribution dates and, in connection therewith, the Company’s submission of its required periodic reporting schedules and verifications of the Company’s compliance with the terms of the credit agreement. As of December 31, 2017, $4.3 million of cash held in connection with the 2015 Debt Securitization was restricted due to the obligation to pay interest on the notes under the terms of the 2015 Debt Securitization.
As of September 30, 2017, included in restricted cash was $7.4 million that was held at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in connection with the Company's Citibank facility and 2015 Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 6 — Borrowings). Pursuant to the terms of the Citibank facility, the Company was restricted in terms of access to $2.0 million of that amount until the occurrence of the periodic distribution dates and, in connection therewith, the Company’s submission of its required periodic reporting schedules and verifications of the Company’s compliance with the terms of the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2017, $5.4 million of cash held in connection with the 2015 Debt Securitization was restricted due to the obligation to pay interest on the notes under the terms of the 2015 Debt Securitization.
Due from Portfolio Companies:
Due from portfolio companies consists of amounts payable to the Company from its portfolio companies, excluding those amounts attributable to interest, dividends or fees receivable. These amounts are recognized as they become payable to the Company (e.g., principal payments on the scheduled amortization payment date).
Receivables/Payables From Unsettled Transactions:
Receivables/payables from unsettled transactions consists of amounts receivable to or payable by the Company for transactions that have not settled at the reporting date.
Deferred Financing Costs:
Deferred financing costs consist of fees and expenses paid in connection with the closing or amending of credit facilities and debt offerings. Deferred financing costs in connection with credit facilities are capitalized as an asset at the time of payment. Deferred financing costs in connection with all other debt arrangements are a direct deduction from the related debt liability at the time of payment. Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the respective debt arrangement. This amortization expense is included in interest expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Upon early termination or modification of a credit facility, all or a portion of unamortized fees related to such facility may be accelerated into interest expense.
Income Taxes:
The Company has elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute dividends to its stockholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, for each taxable year. As a RIC, the Company is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed currently to stockholders as a dividend. Depending on the level of taxable income earned during a taxable year, the Company may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions and would distribute such taxable income in the next taxable year. The Company would then incur a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar year basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. The Company anticipates timely distribution of its taxable income within the tax rules under

25

OAKTREE STRATEGIC INCOME CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Subchapter M of the Code. The Company did not incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar years 2015 and 2016 and does not expect to incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar year 2017.
The Company holds certain portfolio investments through taxable subsidiaries. The purpose of the Company's taxable subsidiaries is to permit the Company to hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are "pass through" entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes in order to comply with the RIC tax requirements. The taxable subsidiaries are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and portfolio investments held by them are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as portfolio investments and recorded at fair value. The taxable subsidiaries are not consolidated with the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of their ownership of certain portfolio investments. This income tax expense, if any, would be reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company uses the liability method to account for its taxable subsidiaries' income taxes. Using this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax benefits associated with net operating loss carry forwards that it may use to offset future tax obligations. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which it expects to recover or settle those temporary differences.
FASB ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("ASC 740") provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management's determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including an ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Company's tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2014, 2015 or 2016. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and California, and the Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Principal versus Agent Considerations. This ASU is intended to clarify revenue recognition accounting when a third party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. This ASU is intended to clarify two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. This ASU amends certain aspects of ASU 2014-09, addresses certain implementation issues identified and clarifies the new revenue standards’ core revenue recognition principles. The new standards will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted on the original effective date of January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures on its ongoing financial reporting.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included within cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The amendment should be adopted retrospectively. The Company did not early adopt the new guidance during the three months ended December 31, 2017. The new guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

These investments are generally not redeemable. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the fact that the unobservable factors are significant to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components (i.e. components that are actively quoted and can be validated by external sources). Accordingly, the appreciation (depreciation) in the tables below includes changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology. Transfers between levels are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period.

(e) The Company generally uses prices provided by an independent pricing service which are non-binding indicative prices on or near the valuation date as the primary basis for the fair value determinations for quoted senior secured debt investments. Since these prices are non-binding, they may not be indicative of fair value. The company performs additional procedures to corroborate such information, which may include the market yield technique and a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the credit quality and market trends affecting the portfolio company. Each quoted price is evaluated by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors in conjunction with additional information compiled by the Investment Adviser.
(f) The Company determined the value based on the total assets less the total liabilities senior to the subordinated notes held at the Glick JV in an amount not exceeding par under the enterprise value technique.
Under the market yield technique, the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company's investments in debt securities as of December 31, 2017 is the market yield. Increases or decreases in the market yield may result in a lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively.
Under the enterprise value technique, the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company's investments in debt or equity securities as of December 31, 2017 is the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")/Revenue multiple. Increases or decreases in the valuation multiples in isolation may result in a higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.

Glick JV
In October 2014, the Company entered into an LLC agreement with GF Equity Funding 2014 LLC ("GF Equity Funding") to form Glick JV. On April 21, 2015, the Glick JV began investing primarily in senior secured loans of middle-market companies. The Company co-invests in these securities with GF Equity Funding through the Glick JV. The Glick JV is managed by a four person board of directors, two of whom are selected by the Company and two of whom are selected by GF Equity Funding. The Glick JV is capitalized as transactions are completed, and portfolio decisions and investment decisions in respect of the Glick JV must be approved by the Glick JV investment committee which consists of one representative selected by the Company and one representative selected by GF Equity Funding (with approval from a representative of each required). Since the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in Glick JV, the Company does not consolidate Glick JV. The members provide capital to the Glick JV in exchange for LLC equity interests, and the Company and GF Debt Funding 2014 LLC ("GF Debt Funding"), an entity advised by affiliates of GF Equity Funding, provide capital to the Glick JV in exchange for subordinated notes (the "Subordinated Notes"). As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Company and GF Equity Funding owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the outstanding LLC equity interests and the Company and GF Debt Funding owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the Subordinated Notes. The Glick JV is not an "eligible portfolio company" as defined in section 2(a)(46) of the 1940 Act.
The Glick JV's portfolio consisted of middle-market and other corporate debt securities of 25 and 23 "eligible portfolio companies" (as defined in Section 2(a)(46) of the 1940 Act) as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The portfolio companies in the Glick JV are in industries similar to those in which the Company may invest directly.
The Glick JV has a senior revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch ("Deutsche Bank facility") with a stated maturity date of April 17, 2023, which permitted up to $200.0 million of borrowings as of both December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017. Borrowings under the Deutsche Bank facility are secured by all of the assets of the Glick JV and all of the equity interests in the Glick JV and bore interest at a rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum with no LIBOR floor as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017. Under the Deutsche Bank facility, $56.9 million of borrowings were outstanding as of each of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively.
As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Glick JV had total assets of $151.5 million and $126.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the Company's investment in the Glick JV consisted of LLC equity interests and Subordinated Notes of $57.2 million in the aggregate at fair value. As of September 30, 2017, the Company's investment in the Glick JV consisted of LLC equity interests and Subordinated Notes of $57.6 million in the aggregate at fair value. The Subordinated Notes are junior in right of payment to the repayment of temporary contributions made by the Company to fund investments of the Glick JV that are repaid when GF Equity Funding and GF Debt Funding make their capital contributions and fund their Subordinated Notes, respectively.
As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Glick JV had total capital commitments of $100.0 million, $87.5 million of which was from the Company and the remaining $12.5 million of which was from GF Equity Funding and GF Debt Funding. Approximately $81.9 million and $81.6 million in aggregate commitments were funded as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively, of which $71.7 million and $71.4 million, respectively, was from the Company. As of each of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Company had commitments to fund Subordinated Notes to the Glick JV of $78.8 million, of which $14.2 million

and $14.5 million, respectively, was unfunded. As of each of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Company had commitments to fund LLC equity interests in the Glick JV of $8.7 million, of which $1.6 million was unfunded.

Distributions
Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Company is required to distribute dividends each taxable year to its stockholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of its investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, in order to be eligible for tax benefits allowed to a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. The Company anticipates paying out as a distribution all or substantially all of those amounts. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board of Directors and is based on management’s estimate of the Company’s annual taxable income. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed, although the Company may decide to retain such net realized capital gains for investment.
The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Company’s Board of Directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash distribution, then the Company’s stockholders who have not “opted out” of the Company’s DRIP will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution. If the Company’s shares are trading at a premium to net asset value, the Company typically issues new shares to implement the DRIP with such shares issued at the greater of the most recently computed net asset value per share of common stock or 95% of the current market price per share of common stock on the payment date for such distribution (or such lesser discount that still exceeds the most recently computed net asset value per share of common stock). If the Company’s shares are trading at a discount to net asset value, the Company typically purchases shares in the open market in connection with the Company’s obligations under the DRIP.
For income tax purposes, the Company estimates that its distributions for the 2017 calendar year will be composed primarily of ordinary income and the actual character of such distributions will be appropriately reported to the Internal Revenue Service and stockholders for the 2017 calendar year. To the extent that the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the amount of distributions paid, a portion of the total amount of the Company’s distributions for the fiscal year may be deemed a return of capital for tax purposes to the Company’s stockholders.

In addition, there is a commitment fee payable on the undrawn amount under the Citibank facility of either 0.50% per annum on the unused amount of the Citibank facility (if the advances outstanding on the Citibank facility exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments by lenders to make advances on such day) or 0.75% per annum on the unused amount of the credit facility (if the advances outstanding on the Citibank facility do not exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments by lenders to make advances on such day) for the duration of the reinvestment period. Interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears. The Citibank facility will mature on January 15, 2020. The Citibank facility requires the Company to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities.

The 2015 Debt Securitization consists of $126.0 million Class A-T Senior Secured 2015 Notes, which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.80% per annum; $29.0 million Class A-S Senior Secured 2015 Notes, which bore interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.55% per annum, until a step-up in spread to 2.10% occurred in October 2016; $20.0 million Class A-R Senior Secured Revolving 2015 Notes, which bear interest at a rate of Commercial Paper ("CP") plus 1.80% per annum (collectively, the "Class A Notes") and $25.0 million Class B Senior Secured 2015 Notes, which bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.65% per annum (the "Class B Notes"). In partial consideration for the loans transferred to the 2015 Issuer as part of the 2015 Debt Securitization, the Company currently retains the entire $22.6 million of the Class C Senior Secured 2015 Notes (which the Company purchased at 98.0% of par value) (the "Class C Notes") and the entire $86.4 million of the Subordinated 2015 Notes. The Class A Notes and Class B Notes are included in the Company's December 31, 2017 Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as notes payable. As of December 31, 2017, the Class C Notes and the Subordinated 2015 Notes were eliminated in consolidation.
    
The Company serves as collateral manager to the 2015 Issuer under a collateral management agreement. The Company is entitled
to a fee for its services as collateral manager. The Company has retained a sub-collateral manager, which, as of October 17, 2017, was the Investment Adviser and, prior to October 17, 2017, was FSM, to provide collateral management sub-advisory services to the Company pursuant to a sub-collateral management agreement. The sub-collateral manager is entitled to receive 100% of the collateral management fees paid to the Company under the collateral management agreement, but each of the Investment Adviser and FSM irrevocably waived and, in the case of the Investment Adviser, intends to continue to irrevocably waive its right to such sub-collateral management fees in respect of the 2015 Debt Securitization.

The collateral management agreement does not include any incentive fee payable to the Company as collateral manager or payable to the sub-collateral manager as sub-advisor under the sub-collateral management agreement.

Through May 28, 2019, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the 2015 Issuer to purchase new collateral under the direction of the Investment Adviser in its capacity as sub-collateral manager of the 2015 Issuer and in accordance with the Company's investment strategy. All 2015 Notes are scheduled to mature on May 28, 2025.
 
As of December 31, 2017, there were 52 investments in portfolio companies with a total fair value of $263.6 million, securing the 2015 Notes. The pool of loans in the 2015 Debt Securitization must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements.

For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the components of interest expense, cash paid for interest, average interest rates and average outstanding balances for the 2015 Debt Securitization were as follows:

     The proceeds of the private placement of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes of the 2015 Issuer, net of debt issuance costs, were used to fund a portion of the 2015 Issuer's loan origination activities and for general corporate purposes. The creditors of the 2015 Issuer have received security interests in the assets owned by the 2015 Issuer and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of the Company (or any other affiliate of the Company). As part of the 2015 Debt Securitization, the Company entered into master loan sale agreements under which the Company agreed to directly or indirectly sell or contribute certain senior secured debt investments (or participation interests therein) to the 2015 Issuer, and to purchase or otherwise acquire the Subordinated 2015 Notes, as applicable. The 2015 Notes are the secured obligations of the 2015 Issuer and the indenture governing the 2015 Notes includes customary covenants and events of default. The 2015 Debt Securitization requires the Company to comply with certain monthly financial covenants, including overcollateralization and interest coverage tests.

Note 8. Taxable/Distributable Income and Dividend Distributions
Taxable income differs from net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations primarily due to: (1) unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and secured borrowings, as gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized; (2) origination fees received in connection with investments in portfolio companies; (3) recognition of interest income on certain loans; and (4) income or loss recognition on exited investments.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had net capital loss carryforwards of $28,564,899 to offset net capital gains, to the extent available and permitted by U.S. federal income tax law. Of the capital loss carryforwards, $2,699,949 are available to offset future short-term capital gains and $25,864,950 are available to offset future long-term capital gains. The Company is permitted to carry forward net capital losses, if any, incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period.
As a RIC, the Company is also subject to a U.S. federal excise tax based on distribution requirements of its taxable income on a calendar year basis. The Company anticipates timely distribution of its taxable income in accordance with tax rules. The Company did not incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar years 2015 and 2016 and does not expect to incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar year 2017.
The aggregate cost of investments for income tax purposes was $607.3 million as of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of value over cost for income tax purposes was $4.6 million. As of September 30, 2017, the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of cost for income tax purposes over value was $51.4 million. Net unrealized depreciation based on the aggregate cost of investments for income tax purposes was $46.8 million.

Note 9. Realized Gains or Losses and Net Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments
Realized Gains or Losses
Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or redemption and the cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and include investments written-off during the period, net of recoveries. Realized losses may also be recorded in connection with the Company's determination that certain investments are considered worthless securities and/or meet the conditions for loss recognition per the applicable tax rules.
During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an aggregate net realized loss of $4.4 million in connection with the sale of various debt investments in the open market, including a $4.2 million realized loss in connection with the sale of the Company's first lien term loan investment in New Trident Holdcorp.
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded an aggregate net realized gain of $0.1 million in connection with the sale of various debt investments in the open market.
Net Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments
Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the net change in the valuation of the portfolio pursuant to the Company's valuation guidelines and the reclassification of any prior period unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded net unrealized appreciation of $1.7 million. This consisted of $3.2 million of net reclassifications to realized loss (resulting in unrealized appreciation) and $0.2 million of net unrealized appreciation on equity investment, offset by $1.7 million of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments.
For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded net unrealized depreciation of $5.2 million. This consisted of $7.7 million of net unrealized depreciation on equity investments, offset by $2.2 million of net unrealized appreciation on debt investments and $0.3 million of net reclassifications to realized loss (resulting in unrealized appreciation).

Note 10. Concentration of Credit Risks
The Company deposits its cash with financial institutions and at times such balances may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by depositing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and monitoring their financial stability.

Note 11. Related Party Transactions

As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Company had a liability on its Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $1.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, reflecting the unpaid portion of the base management fees and incentive fees payable to Oaktree and FSM.
New Investment Advisory Agreement
Effective October 17, 2017 and as of December 31, 2017, the Company is party to the New Investment Advisory Agreement with Oaktree. Under the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays Oaktree a fee for its services under the New Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee payable to Oaktree and any incentive fees earned by Oaktree is ultimately borne by common stockholders of the Company.
Unless earlier terminated as described below, the New Investment Advisory Agreement will remain in effect until October 17, 2019 and thereafter from year-to-year if approved annually by the Company's Board of Directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, including, in either case, approval by a majority of directors of the Company who are not interested persons. The New Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. The New Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other. The New Investment Advisory Agreement may also be terminated, without penalty, upon the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company.
Base Management Fee
Under the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee on total gross assets, including any investment made with borrowings, but excluding cash and cash equivalents, is 1.00%. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and the fee for any partial month or quarter is appropriately prorated.
For the period from October 17, 2017 to December 31, 2017, the base management fee incurred under the New Investment Advisory Agreement was $1.2 million, which was payable to Oaktree.
Incentive Fee
The incentive fee consists of two parts. Under the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the first part of the incentive fee (the “incentive fee on income) is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based upon the “pre-incentive fee net investment income” of the Company for the immediately preceding quarter. The payment of the incentive fee on income is subject to payment of a preferred return to investors each quarter (i.e., a “hurdle rate”), expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the most recently completed quarter, of 1.50%, subject to a “catch up” feature.
For this purpose, “pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies, other than fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the fiscal quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the New Administration Agreement and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
Under the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the calculation of the incentive fee on income for each quarter is as follows:
No incentive fee is payable to Oaktree in any quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the preferred return rate of 1.50% (the “preferred return”) on net assets;
100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the preferred return but is less than or equal to 1.8182% in any fiscal quarter is payable to Oaktree. This portion of the incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch-up” provision, and it is intended to provide Oaktree with an incentive fee of 17.5% on all of the Company’s pre-

47

OAKTREE STRATEGIC INCOME CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


incentive fee net investment income when the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 1.8182% on net assets in any fiscal quarter; and
For any quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 1.8182% on net assets, the subordinated incentive fee on income is equal to 17.5% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, as the preferred return and catch-up will have been achieved.
There is no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and accordingly there is no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the quarterly hurdle.
For the period from October 17, 2017 to December 31, 2017, the first part of the incentive fee (net of waivers) incurred under the New Investment Advisory Agreement was $0.1 million. To ensure compliance of the transactions contemplated by that certain asset purchase agreement, dated as of July 13, 2017 by and among Oaktree, FSM, and, for certain limited purposes, FSAM and Fifth Street Holdings L.P., Oaktree entered into a two-year contractual fee waiver with the Company that will waive, to the extent necessary, any management or incentive fees payable under the New Investment Advisory Agreement that exceed what would have been paid to the Former Adviser in the aggregate under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement described below. Amounts potentially subject to waiver are accrued quarterly on a cumulative basis and, to the extent required, any fees will be waived or reimbursed as soon as practicable after the end of the two-year period. As of December 31, 2017, Oaktree had accrued an aggregate amount of $0.1 million of incentive fees potentially subject to waiver.
Under the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the second part of the incentive fee will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the investment advisory agreement, as of the termination date) commencing with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 and will equal 17.5% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from the beginning of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 through the end of each fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees under the New Investment Advisory Agreement. Any realized capital gains, realized capital losses, unrealized capital appreciation and unrealized capital depreciation with respect to the Company’s portfolio as of the end of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 will be excluded from the calculations of the second part of the incentive fee.
Indemnification
The New Investment Advisory agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of their respective duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of their respective duties and obligations, Oaktree and its officers, managers, partners, members (and their members, including the owners of their members), agents, employees, controlling persons and any other person or entity affiliated with it, are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of the Investment Adviser's services under the investment advisory agreement or otherwise as the Investment Adviser.
Collection and Disbursement of Fees Owed to FSM
Under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement described below, both the base management fee and incentive fee on income were calculated and paid to FSM at the end of each quarter. In order to ensure that FSM receives the compensation earned during the quarter ending December 31, 2017, the initial payment of the base management fee and incentive fee on income under the New Investment Advisory Agreement will cover the entire quarter in which the New Investment Advisory Agreement became effective, and be calculated at a blended rate that will reflect fee rates under the respective investment advisory agreements for the portion of the quarter in which FSM and Oaktree were serving as investment adviser. This structure will allow Oaktree to pay FSM in early 2018 the pro rata portion of the fees that were earned by, but not paid to, FSM for services rendered to the Company prior to October 17, 2017.
Prior Investment Advisory Agreement
The following is a description of the investment advisory agreement between FSM and the Company (the “Former Investment Advisory Agreement”), which was terminated on October 17, 2017. The Former Investment Advisory Agreement, dated June 27, 2013 was most recently approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 7, 2017, and was effective June 27, 2013 through its termination on October 17, 2017.
Through October 17, 2017, the Company paid FSM a fee for its services under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee paid to FSM and any incentive fees earned by FSM were ultimately borne by common stockholders of the Company.

OAKTREE STRATEGIC INCOME CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Base Management Fee
The base management fee was calculated at an annual rate of 1.0% of the Company’s gross assets, including any borrowings for investment purposes but excluding cash and cash equivalents. The base management fee was payable quarterly in arrears and the fee for any partial month or quarter was appropriately prorated.
For the period from October 1, 2017 to October 17, 2017 and the three months ended December 31, 2016, the base management fee incurred under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement with FSM was $0.2 million and $1.4 million (net of waivers), respectively, all of which were payable to FSM. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, FSM voluntarily waived a portion of the base management fee, which resulted in waivers of less than $0.1 million.
Incentive Fee
The incentive fee paid to the Former Adviser had two parts. The first part was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. 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 quarter, was compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.5% per quarter, subject to a “catch-up” provision measured as of the end of each quarter. The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee was also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 1.0% base management fee. The operation of the incentive fee with respect to the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for each quarter was as follows:
No incentive fee was payable to the Former Adviser in any fiscal quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income did not exceed the preferred return rate of 1.5% (the “preferred return”);
50% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeded the preferred return rate but was less than or equal to 2.5% in any fiscal quarter was payable to the Former Adviser. The Company’s refers to this portion of its pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the preferred return rate but is less than or equal to 2.5%) as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” provision was intended to provide the Former Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a preferred return rate did not apply when the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeded 2.5% in any quarter; and
20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeded 2.5% in any quarter was payable to the Former Adviser once the preferred return was reached and the catch-up was achieved (20% of all pre-incentive fee net investment income thereafter was allocated to FSM).

There was no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and accordingly there was no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters were below the quarterly hurdle, and there was no delay of payment if prior quarters were below the quarterly hurdle.
The second part of the incentive fee was determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date) commencing on September 30, 2013 and equaled 20% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees.
For the period from October 1, 2017 to October 17, 2017 and for the three months ended December 31, 2016, incentive fees incurred under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement with FSM were less than $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
GAAP Accruals

GAAP requires the Company to accrue for the theoretical capital gain incentive fee that would be payable after giving effect to the net unrealized capital appreciation. A fee so calculated and accrued would not be payable under either the New Investment Advisory Agreement or the Former Investment Advisory Agreement and may never be paid based upon the computation of capital gain incentive fees in subsequent periods. Amounts ultimately paid under the New Investment Advisory Agreement will be consistent with the formula reflected in the New Investment Advisory Agreement. The Company did not accrue for capital gain incentive fees as of December 31, 2017 because the capital gain incentive fee under the New Investment Advisory Agreement will not be charged until the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019.

Administrative Services
The Company entered into the New Administration Agreement with Oaktree Administrator on October 17, 2017. Pursuant to the New Administration Agreement, Oaktree Administrator provides administrative services to the Company necessary for the operations of the Company, which include providing office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities and such other services as Oaktree Administrator, subject to review by the Company’s Board of Directors, shall from time to time deem to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under the New Administration Agreement. Oaktree Administrator may, on behalf of the Company, conduct relations and negotiate agreements with custodians, trustees, depositories, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurers, banks and such other persons in any such other capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable. Oaktree Administrator makes reports to the Company’s Board of Directors of its performance of obligations under the New Administration Agreement and furnishes advice and recommendations with respect to such other aspects of the Company’s business and affairs, in each case, as it shall determine to be desirable or as reasonably required by the Company’s Board of Directors; provided that Oaktree Administrator shall not provide any investment advice or recommendation.
Oaktree Administrator also provides portfolio collection functions for interest income, fees and warrants and is responsible for the financial and other records that the Company is required to maintain and prepares, prints and disseminates reports to the Company’s stockholders and all other materials filed with the SEC. In addition, Oaktree Administrator assists the Company in determining and publishing the Company’s net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns, and generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. Oaktree Administrator may also offer to provide, on the Company’s behalf, managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies.
For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimburses Oaktree Administrator the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Oaktree Administrator in performing its obligations under the New Administration Agreement, including the Company’s allocable portion of the rent of the Company’s principal executive offices at market rates and the Company’s allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of its Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, their staffs and other non-investment professionals at Oaktree that perform duties for the Company. Such reimbursement is at cost, with no profit to, or markup by, Oaktree Administrator. The New Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other. The New Administration Agreement may also be terminated, without penalty, upon the vote of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities.
Prior to its termination by its terms on October 17, 2017 and throughout the Company’s 2017 fiscal year, the Company was party to the Former Administration Agreement with the Former Administrator. The Former Administrator was a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSM. Pursuant to the Former Administration Agreement, the Former Administrator provided services substantially similar to those provided by Oaktree Administrator as described above. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimbursed the Former Administrator the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Former Administration Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their staffs. Such reimbursement was at cost, with no profit to, or markup by, the Former Administrator. The Former Administration Agreement with FSC CT was terminable by either party without penalty upon 60 days' written notice to the other party.
For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company accrued administrative expenses of $0.4 million, including $0.1 million of general and administrative expenses. Of these amounts, $0.1 million was due to the Former Administrator for administrative expenses incurred prior to October 17, 2017 and $0.3 million was due to Oaktree Administrator. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company accrued administrative expenses of $0.5 million, including $0.4 million of general and administrative expenses, which were due to the Former Administrator.
As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, $0.7 million and $0.5 million was included in “Due to affiliate” in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, respectively, reflecting the unpaid portion of administrative expenses payable to the Former Administrator and Oaktree Administrator.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

SEC Examination and Investigation
On March 23, 2016, the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") sent document subpoenas and document-preservation notices to the Company, FSAM, FSCO GP LLC - General Partner of Fifth Street Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“FSOF”), and OCSL. The subpoenas sought production of documents relating to a variety of issues principally related to the activities of FSM, including those raised in an ordinary-course examination of FSM by the SEC’s Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations that began in October 2015, and in certain previously disclosed OCSL and FSAM securities class actions and OCSL derivative actions. The subpoenas were issued pursuant to a formal order of private investigation captioned In the Matter of the Fifth Street Group of Companies, No. HO-12925, dated March 23, 2016, which addresses (among other things) (i) the valuation of the Company's portfolio companies and investments, (ii) the expenses allocated or charged to the Company and OCSL, (iii) FSOF’s trading in the securities of publicly traded business-development companies, (iv) statements to the board of directors, other representatives of pooled investment vehicles, investors, or prospective investors concerning the fair value of the Company's portfolio companies or investments as well as expenses allocated or charged to the Company and OCSL, (v) various issues relating to adoption and implementation of policies and procedures under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), (vi) statements and/or potential omissions in the entities’ SEC filings, (vii) the entities’ books, records, and accounts and whether they fairly and accurately reflected the entities’ transactions and dispositions of assets, and (viii) several other issues relating to corporate books

and records. The formal order cites various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the Advisers Act, as well as rules promulgated under those Acts, as the bases of the investigation. The Company is cooperating with the Division of Enforcement investigation, has produced requested documents, and has been communicating with Division of Enforcement personnel. The Investment Adviser is not subject to these subpoenas.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company may be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its portfolio companies. As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $39.5 million and $43.5 million, respectively, of unfunded commitments to provide debt and equity financing to certain of the Company's portfolio companies. Such commitments are subject to the portfolio companies' satisfaction of certain financial and nonfinancial covenants and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
A list of unfunded commitments by investment (consisting of revolvers, term loans and Glick JV Subordinated Notes and LLC equity interests) as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 is shown in the table below:

Citibank Facility Amendment

52

OAKTREE STRATEGIC INCOME CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


On January 31, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with OCSI Senior Funding II LLC (formerly FS Senior Funding II LLC), the Company’s wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, as the borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral agent (the “Restated Citibank Facility”).
The Restated Citibank Facility permits up to $100 million of borrowings. Borrowings under the Restated Citibank Facility are subject to certain customary advance rates and accrue interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.70% per annum on broadly syndicated loans and LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum on all other eligible loans during the reinvestment period. Following termination of the reinvestment period, borrowings under the Restated Citibank Facility accrue interest at rates equal to LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum and LIBOR plus 4.00% per annum during the subsequent two years, respectively. In addition, for the duration of the reinvestment period there is a non-usage fee payable of 0.50% per annum on the undrawn amount under the Restated Citibank Facility. The non-usage fee is increased pursuant to a formula if, after the ramp up period, the advances outstanding on the Restated Citibank Facility do not exceed 70% of the aggregate commitments by lenders.
The reinvestment period under the Restated Citibank Facility ends January 30, 2021 and the final maturity date is January 31, 2023. The Restated Citibank Facility requires the Company to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in connection with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Some of the statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements because they relate to future events or our future performance or financial condition. The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q may include statements as to:

our future operating results and distribution projections;
the ability of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., or Oaktree or our Investment Adviser, to reposition our portfolio and to implement our Investment Adviser’s future plans with respect to our business;
our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
the impact of the investments that we expect to make;
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
our expected financings and investments;
the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital;
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies; and
the cost or potential outcome of any litigation to which we may be a party.
In addition, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “seek,” “plan,” “should,” “estimate,” “project” and “intend” indicate forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including the factors set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017 and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include:

Business Overview
We are a specialty finance company dedicated to providing customized capital solutions for middle-market companies in both the syndicated and private placement markets. We are a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or 1940 Act. In addition, we have qualified and elected to be treated as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, for tax purposes.
As of October 17, 2017, we are externally managed by Oaktree, a subsidiary of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC, or OCG, a global investment manager specializing in alternative investments, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between us and the Investment Adviser, or the New Investment Advisory Agreement. Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC, or Oaktree Administrator or OFA, also provides certain administrative and other services necessary for us to operate pursuant to an administration agreement, or the New Administration Agreement. Prior to October 17, 2017, we were externally managed and advised by Fifth Street Management LLC, or FSM or the Former Adviser, and we were named Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp.
We seek to generate a stable source of current income while minimizing the risk of principal loss and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by providing innovative first-lien financing solutions to companies across a wide variety of industries. We invest in

56


companies across a variety of industries that typically possess business models we expect to be resilient in the future with underlying fundamentals that will provide strength in future downturns. We intend to deploy capital across credit and economic cycles with a focus on long-term results, which we believe will enable us to build lasting partnerships with financial sponsors and management teams. Under normal market conditions, through January 18, 2018, at least 80% of the value of our net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes will be invested in floating rate senior loans, which include both first and second lien secured debt financings. Effective January 19, 2018, the Company is no longer subject to this policy. We invest in unsecured loans, including subordinated loans, issued by private middle-market companies and, to a lesser extent, senior and subordinated loans issued by public companies and equity investments.
Our Investment Adviser intends to reposition our portfolio in the near-term in order to (1) rotate out of a small number of investments that it views as challenged, (2) focus on increasing the size of our core private investments and (3) supplement the portfolio with broadly syndicated and select privately placed loans. We expect that our Investment Adviser will focus on middle-market companies, which we define as companies with enterprise values of between $100 million and $750 million. Going forward, we expect our portfolio to include primarily first lien floating rate senior secured financings. We expect to target investments of $10 million to $20 million, on average, although we may invest more or less in certain portfolio companies. We generally invest in securities that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as “high yield” and “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
Since becoming our investment adviser, Oaktree has performed a comprehensive review of our portfolio and categorized our portfolio into core investments, non-core performing investments and non-accrual investments. Certain additional information on such categorization and our portfolio composition will be included in our investor presentation to be filed with the SEC.
Oaktree also intends to rotate us out of approximately $84 million of investments it has identified as non-core investments and investments with spreads over LIBOR of less than 4.0%. Over time, Oaktree intends to modestly increase our investments in second lien secured financings to approximately 10%, at fair value, of our portfolio. Oaktree will seek to redeploy capital from realization of existing investments into Oaktree-originated investments with higher yields.
During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the integration of our operational infrastructure, including accounting, valuation, compliance and information technology processes and systems, into the Oaktree platform was completed, and we believe that we will realize synergies and cost savings, including from trade settlement and internal audit functions, as a result of this integration.
Business Environment and Developments
The opportunity set in credit is still dominated by the search for yield as central banks in Japan and Europe continue their accommodative monetary policies. This glut of capital is resulting in significant inflows into sub-investment grade credit from investors, including private equity sponsors, seeking higher spreads as investment grade and highly rated sub-investment grade credit trade at close-to-historically tight levels.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the spread on the BAML High Yield Single B Index ranged between 3.34% and 3.99% and was 3.69% as of December 31, 2017. In addition, during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index spread ranged between 3.70% and 3.88% and was 3.75% as of December 31, 2017. The weighted average annual yield on our portfolio of 7.2% as of December 31, 2017 compares favorably in the current environment.
We believe that the fundamentals of middle-market companies remain strong, which drove the highest lending level in three years. In this environment, we believe attractive risk-adjusted returns can be achieved by investing in companies that cannot efficiently access traditional debt capital markets. We believe that the Company has the resources and experience to source, diligence and structure investments in these companies and is well placed to generate attractive returns for investors.

New Investment Advisory Agreement with Oaktree
Upon the closing of the transactions, or the Transaction, contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, by and among Oaktree, our Former Adviser and, for certain limited purposes, Fifth Street Asset Management Inc., or FSAM, the indirect, partial owner of our Former Adviser, and Fifth Street Holdings L.P., the direct, partial owner of our Former Adviser, on October 17, 2017, Oaktree became the investment adviser to each of Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation, or OCSL, and us, and Oaktree paid gross cash consideration of $320 million to our Former Adviser. The closing of the Transaction resulted in an assignment for purposes of the 1940 Act of our investment advisory agreement with FSM, or the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, and, as a result, its immediate termination. The material terms of the services to be provided under the New Investment Advisory Agreement, other than the fee structure, are substantially the same as the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, except that services are provided by Oaktree. See “Note 11. Related Party Transactions-New Investment Advisory Agreement” and “-Administrative Services” in the notes to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
In order to ensure that the Transaction complied with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, Oaktree and our Former Adviser agreed to certain conditions. First, for a period of three years after the closing of the Transaction, at least 75% of the members of our Board of

57


Directors must not be interested persons of Oaktree or our Former Adviser. Second, an “unfair burden” must not be imposed on us as a result of the closing of the Transaction or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto during the two-year period after the closing of the Transaction.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements have been made. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We are an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, or ASC 946.
Investment Valuation
We report our investments for which current market values are not readily available at fair value. We value our investments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A liability's fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices derived from such prices over entity-specific inputs. Where observable prices or inputs are not available or reliable, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments' complexity.

Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follow:

Level 1 - Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data at the measurement date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
If inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, an investment's level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. This includes investment securities that are valued using "bid" and "ask" prices obtained from independent third party pricing services or directly from brokers. These investments may be classified as Level 3 because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities or may require adjustments for investment-specific factors or restrictions.
Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value. As such, our Investment Adviser obtains and analyzes readily available market quotations provided by independent pricing services for all of our senior secured debt investments for which quotations are available. In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing services use observable market information, including both binding and non-binding indicative quotations.
Our Investment Adviser evaluates the quotations provided by independent pricing services and company specific data that could affect the credit quality and/or fair value of the investment. Investments for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, our Investment Adviser looks at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Our Investment Adviser does not adjust the prices unless it has a reason to believe market quotations are not reflective of the fair value of an investment. Examples of events that would cause market quotations to not reflect fair value could include cases when a security trades infrequently causing a quoted purchase or sale price to become stale or in the event of a "fire sale" by a distressed seller. In these instances, we value such investments by using the valuation procedure that we use with respect to assets for which market quotations are not readily available (as discussed below).

58


If the quotation provided by the pricing service is based on only one or two market sources, we perform additional procedures to corroborate such information, which may include the market yield technique discussed below and a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the credit quality and market trends affecting the portfolio company.
We perform detailed valuations of our debt and equity investments for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to represent fair value of the investments. We typically use three different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is the transaction precedent technique, which utilizes recent or expected future transactions of the investment to determine fair value, to the extent applicable. The second valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value, or EV, of the portfolio company. EV means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The EV analysis is typically performed to determine (i) the value of equity investments, (ii) whether there is credit impairment for debt investments and (iii) the value for debt investments that we are deemed to control under the 1940 Act. To estimate the EV of a portfolio company, the Investment Adviser analyzes various factors, including the portfolio company’s historical and projected financial results, macroeconomic impacts on the company, and competitive dynamics in the company’s industry. The Investment Adviser also utilizes some or all of the following information based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company: (i) valuations of comparable public companies, (ii) recent sales of private and public comparable companies in similar industries or having similar business or earnings characteristics, (iii) purchase price multiples as a multiple of their earnings or cash flow, (iv) the portfolio company’s ability to meet its forecasts and its business prospects, (v) a discounted cash flow analysis, (vi) estimated liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company's assets and (vii) offers from third parties to buy the portfolio company. We may probability weight potential sale outcomes with respect to a portfolio company when uncertainty exists as of the valuation date. The third valuation technique is a market yield technique, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments. In the market yield technique, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk, and we consider the current contractual interest rate, the capital structure and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the EV of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by us are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, we depend on primary market data, including newly funded transactions and industry specific market movements, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.
In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that qualify as investment companies in accordance with ASC 946 may be valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value. Consistent with FASB guidance under ASC 820, these investments are excluded from the hierarchical levels.
We estimate the fair value of privately held warrants using a Black Scholes pricing model, which includes an analysis of various factors and subjective assumptions, including the current stock price (by using an EV analysis as described above), the expected period until exercise, expected volatility of the underlying stock price, expected dividends and the risk-free rate. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.
Our Board of Directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of our investments:
The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by our Investment Adviser’s valuation team in conjunction with the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management team and investment professionals responsible for each portfolio investment;
Preliminary valuations are then reviewed and discussed with management of our Investment Adviser;
Separately, independent valuation firms engaged by our Board of Directors prepare valuations of our investments, on a selected basis, for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment, and submit the reports to us and provide such reports to our Investment Adviser and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors;
The Investment Adviser compares and contrasts its preliminary valuations to the valuations of the independent valuation firms and prepares a valuation report for the Audit Committee;
The Audit Committee reviews the preliminary valuations with our Investment Adviser, and our Investment Adviser responds and supplements the preliminary valuations to reflect any discussions between our Investment Adviser and the Audit Committee;
The Audit Committee makes a recommendation to our full Board of Directors regarding the fair value of the investments in our portfolio; and
Our Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio.
The fair value of our investments as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 was determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has and will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of a portion of our portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment each quarter, and the Board of Directors may reasonably rely on that

59


assistance. As of December 31, 2017, 77.7% of our portfolio at fair value was valued either based on market quotations, the transactions precedent approach or by independent valuation firms. The percentage of our portfolio valued by independent valuation firms may vary from period to period based on the availability of market quotations for our portfolio investments during the respective periods. However, our Board of Directors is responsible for the ultimate valuation of the portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to our valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.
As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, approximately 88.7% and 92.1%, respectively, of our total assets represented investments at fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Interest and Dividend Income
Interest income, adjusted for accretion of original issue discount, or OID, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. We stop accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest cash payments will be collected. Cash interest payments received on investments may be recognized as income or a return of capital depending upon management’s judgment. A non-accrual investment is restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest are paid in cash, and the portfolio company, in management’s judgment, is likely to continue timely payment of its remaining obligations. As of December 31, 2017, there were three investments on which we had stopped accruing cash and/or payment in kind, or PIK, interest or OID income.
In connection with our investment in a portfolio company, we sometimes receive nominal cost equity that is valued as part of the negotiation process with the portfolio company. When we receive nominal cost equity, we allocate our cost basis in the investment between debt securities and the nominal cost equity at the time of origination. Any resulting discount from recording the loan, or otherwise purchasing a security at a discount, is accreted into interest income over the life of the loan.
We generally recognize dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from equity investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, we will not record distributions from such equity investments as dividend income unless there are sufficient earnings at the portfolio company prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.
Fee Income
We receive a variety of fees in the ordinary course of business, including servicing, advisory, amendment, structuring and prepayment fees, which are classified as fee income and recognized as they are earned.
PIK Interest
Our investments in debt securities may contain PIK interest provisions. PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. We generally cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if we do not expect the portfolio company to be able to pay all principal and interest due. Our decision to cease accruing PIK interest involves subjective judgments and determinations based on available information about a particular portfolio company, including whether the portfolio company is current with respect to its payment of principal and interest on its loans and debt securities; financial statements and financial projections for the portfolio company; our assessment of the portfolio company's business development success; information obtained by us in connection with periodic formal update interviews with the portfolio company's management and, if appropriate, the private equity sponsor; and information about the general economic and market conditions in which the portfolio company operates. Based on this and other information, we determine whether to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security when it is determined that PIK interest is no longer collectible. Our determination to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security is generally made well before our full write-down of such loan or debt security. In addition, if it is subsequently determined that we will not be able to collect any previously accrued PIK interest, the fair value of our loans or debt securities would be reduced by the amount of such previously accrued, but uncollectible, PIK interest. The accrual of PIK interest on our debt investments increases the recorded cost bases of these investments in our Consolidated Financial Statements and, as a result, increases the cost bases of these investments for purposes of computing the capital gains incentive fee payable by us to our Investment Adviser.
To maintain our status as a RIC, certain income from PIK interest may be required to be distributed to our stockholders even though we have not yet collected the cash and may never do so. Accumulated PIK interest was $0.8 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The net increases in loan balances as a result of contractual PIK arrangements are separately identified in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Portfolio Composition
Our investments principally consist of senior loans in private middle-market companies and investments in FSFR Glick JV LLC, or the Glick JV. As of December 31, 2017, our senior loans were typically secured by a first or second lien on the assets of the portfolio company and generally have terms of up to ten years (but an expected average life of between three and four years). We believe the environment for direct lending remains active, and, as a result, a number of our portfolio companies were able to refinance and repay their loans during the three months ended December 31, 2017.
During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we originated $136.2 million of investment commitments in 17 new and three existing portfolio companies and funded $143.9 million of investments.
During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we received $71.3 million in connection with the full repayments and exits of eight of our investments and an additional $90.1 million in connection with other paydowns and sales of investments.

Glick JV
In October 2014, we entered into a limited liability company, or LLC, agreement with GF Equity Funding 2014 LLC, or GF Equity Funding, to form the Glick JV. On April 21, 2015, Glick JV began investing in senior secured loans of middle-market companies. We co-invest in these securities with GF Equity Funding through the Glick JV. The Glick JV is managed by a four person board of directors, two of whom are selected by us and two of whom are selected by GF Equity Funding. The Glick JV is capitalized as transactions are completed, and portfolio decisions and investment decisions in respect of the Glick JV must be approved by the Glick JV investment committee, consisting of one representative selected by us and one representative selected by GF Equity Funding (with approval from a representative of each required). The members provide capital to the Glick JV in exchange for LLC equity interests, and we and GF Debt Funding 2014 LLC, or GF Debt Funding, an entity advised by affiliates of GF Equity Funding, provide capital to the Glick JV in exchange for subordinated notes, or the Subordinated Notes. As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, we and GF Equity Funding owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the outstanding LLC equity interests, and we and GF Debt Funding owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the Subordinated Notes. The Glick JV is not an "eligible portfolio company" as defined in section 2(a)(46) of the 1940 Act.
The Glick JV's portfolio consisted of middle-market and other corporate debt securities of 25 and 23 "eligible portfolio companies" (as defined in Section 2(a)(46) of the 1940 Act) as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The portfolio companies in the Glick JV are in industries similar to those in which we may invest directly.
The Glick JV has a senior revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, or the Deutsche Bank facility, with a stated maturity date of April 17, 2023, which permitted up to $200.0 million of borrowings as of both December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017. Borrowings under the Deutsche Bank facility are secured by all of the assets of the Glick JV and all of the equity interests in the Glick JV and bore interest at a rate equal to the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 2.5% per annum with no LIBOR floor as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017. Under the Deutsche Bank facility, $56.9 million in borrowings were outstanding as of each of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017.
As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Glick JV had total assets of $151.5 million and $126.7 million, respectively. Our investment in the Glick JV consisted of LLC equity interests and Subordinated Notes of $57.2 million in the aggregate at fair value as of December 31, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, our investment consisted of LLC equity interests and Subordinated Notes of $57.6 million in the aggregate at fair value. The Subordinated Notes are junior in right of payment to the repayment of temporary contributions made by us to fund investments of the Glick JV that are repaid when GF Equity Funding and GF Debt Funding make their capital contributions and fund their Subordinated Notes, respectively.
As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Glick JV had total capital commitments of $100.0 million. $87.5 million of which was from us and the remaining $12.5 million from GF Equity Funding and GF Debt Funding. Approximately $81.9 million and $81.6 million in aggregate commitments was funded as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively, of which $71.7 million and $71.4 million, respectively, was from us.

(3) This investment is held by both us and the Glick JV as of September 30, 2017.
(4) The interest rate on the principal balance outstanding for all floating rate loans is indexed to LIBOR and/or an alternate base rate (e.g., prime rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. For each of these loans, we have provided the applicable margin over LIBOR or the alternate base rate based on each respective credit agreement.
(5) This investment was on cash non-accrual status as of September 30, 2017. Cash non-accrual status is inclusive of PIK and other non-cash income, where applicable.

The cost and fair value of our aggregate investment in the Glick JV held by us was $71.6 million and $57.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2017 and $71.3 million and $57.6 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2017. The Subordinated Notes pay a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 8.0% per annum. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company earned interest income of $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, on its investment in the Subordinated Notes. The LLC equity interests are dividend producing to the extent there is residual cash to be distributed on a quarterly basis. We did not earn any dividend income for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and earned dividend income of $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 with respect to the Glick JV LLC equity interests.
Below is certain summarized financial information for the Glick JV as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 and for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

The Glick JV has elected to fair value the Subordinated Notes issued to the Company and GF Debt Funding under FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments - Fair Value Options. The subordinated notes are valued based on the total assets less the liabilities senior to the subordinated notes of the Glick JV in an amount not exceeding par under the enterprise value technique.
During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we did not sell any senior secured debt investments to the Glick JV.
 Discussion and Analysis of Results and Operations
Results of Operations
The principal measure of our financial performance is the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income, net realized gain (loss) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees, and other investment income and total expenses. Net realized gain (loss) on investments and secured borrowings is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and secured borrowings and their stated costs. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio and secured borrowings during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation (depreciation) when gains or losses are realized.
Comparison of three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016
Total Investment Income
Total investment income includes interest on our investments, fee income and other investment income.
Total investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $10.7 million and $11.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, this amount primarily consisted of $10.3 million of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $0.3 million of PIK interest) and $0.4 million of fee income. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, this amount primarily consisted of $11.0 million of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $0.1 million of PIK interest), $0.4 million of fee income and $0.2 million of dividend and other income. The decrease of $0.8 million in our total investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2017, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2016, was primarily attributable to a lower weighted average annual yield on our debt investments and lower dividend income earned on our investment in the Glick JV. The weighted average annual yield on our debt investments as of December 31, 2017, including the return on our subordinated note investment in the Glick JV, was approximately 7.06%, as compared to 8.49% as of December 31, 2016.
Expenses
Net expenses (expenses net of fee waivers and insurance recoveries) for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $6.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The increase of $0.5 million in our net expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2017, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2016, was primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in professional fees (net of insurance recoveries), $0.3 million increase in interest expense attributable to higher interest rates in the current quarter, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in Part I incentive fees payable to our Investment Adviser, which was primarily attributable to lower pre-incentive fee net investment income for the year-over-year period.
Net Investment Income
As a result of the $0.8 million decrease in total investment income, offset by the $0.5 million increase in net expenses, net investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2017 reflected an approximate $1.3 million decrease, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2016.
Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments
Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or redemption of portfolio investments and the cost basis of the investments without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments written-off during the period, net of recoveries. Realized losses may also be recorded in connection with our determination that certain investments are considered worthless securities and/or meet the conditions for loss recognition per the applicable tax rules.
For the three months ended December 31, 2017, realized loss on investments and secured borrowings was $4.4 million, which was primarily attributable to the sale of our first lien term loan investment in New Trident Holdcorp, Inc. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, realized gain on investments and secured borrowings was $0.1 million.

70


Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments and Secured Borrowings
Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation is the net change in the fair value of our investments and secured borrowings during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

Net unrealized appreciation on investments and secured borrowings was $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017, which was primarily driven by a $3.5 million reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation as a result of the sale of our first lien term loan investment in New Trident Holdcorp, Inc., partially offset by other write-downs across our investment portfolio.
See “Note 9. Realized Gains or Losses and Net Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments” in the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details regarding unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have a number of alternatives available to fund our investment portfolio and our operations, including raising equity, increasing or refinancing debt and funding from operational cash flow. Additionally, to generate liquidity we may reduce investment size by syndicating a portion of any given transaction. We intend to continue to generate cash primarily from cash flows from operations, including interest earned and future borrowings. We may also from time to time issue securities in public or private offerings, which offerings will depend on future market conditions, funding needs and other factors. We intend to fund our future distribution obligations through operating cash flow or with funds obtained through future equity and debt offerings or credit facilities, as we deem appropriate.
In the future, we may also securitize a portion of our investments to the extent permitted by applicable law and regulation. To securitize investments, we would likely create a wholly-owned subsidiary and contribute a pool of loans to the subsidiary. We would then sell interests in the subsidiary on a non-recourse basis to purchasers and we would retain all or a portion of the equity in the subsidiary. Our primary uses of funds are investments in our targeted asset classes and cash distributions to holders of our common stock. We generally expect to target a debt to equity ratio of 0.80x to 0.90x (i.e., one dollar of equity for each $0.80 to $0.90 of debt outstanding).
Although we may fund the growth of our investment portfolio through equity offerings, our plans to do so may not be successful. In this regard, because our common stock has at times traded at a price below our then-current net asset value per share (which has primarily been the case for several years) and we are limited in our ability to sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share, we are currently limited in our ability to raise equity capital absent stockholder approval to issue shares of our common stock at prices below the then-current net asset value per share.
For the three months ended December 31, 2017, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $4.4 million. During that period, $18.9 million of cash was provided by operating activities, primarily consisting of $161.4 million of principal payments and proceeds from the sale of investments and cash activities related to $4.5 million of net investment income, partially offset by cash used to fund $143.9 million of investments and net revolvers. During the same period, cash used by financing activities was $14.5 million, primarily consisting of $8.9 million of net repayments under our credit facilities and $5.4 million of cash distributions paid to our stockholders.
For the three months ended December 31, 2016, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $16.4 million. During that period, $63.2 million of cash was provided by operating activities, primarily consisting of $66.7 million of principal payments and proceeds from the sale of investments and cash activities related to $5.9 million of net investment income, partially offset by cash used to fund $37.6 million of investments and net revolvers. During the same period, cash used by financing activities was $46.8 million, primarily consisting of $35.2 million of net repayments under our credit facilities, $6.5 million of cash distributions paid to our shareholders and $5.0 million of repayments of secured borrowings.
As of December 31, 2017, we had $46.2 million of cash and cash equivalents (including $6.2 million of restricted cash), portfolio investments (at fair value) of $541.4 million, $2.7 million of interest, dividends and fees receivable, $45.1 million of net payables from unsettled transactions, $74.1 million of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities, $177.8 million of borrowings outstanding (net of unamortized financing costs) under our $309.0 million debt securitization, or the 2015 Debt Securitization, and unfunded commitments of $39.5 million. Pursuant to the terms of the revolving credit facility with the lenders referred to therein, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as collateral agent and custodian, or the Citibank facility, we are restricted in terms of access to $1.9 million until the occurrence of the periodic distribution dates and, in connection therewith, our submission of our required periodic reporting schedules and verifications of our compliance with the terms of the credit agreement. As of December 31, 2017, $4.3 million of cash held in connection with the 2015 Debt Securitization was restricted.


71


As of September 30, 2017, we had $43.0 million of cash and cash equivalents (including $7.4 million of restricted cash), portfolio investments (at fair value) of $560.4 million, $3.0 million of interest, dividends and fees receivable, $48.5 million of net payables from unsettled transactions, $83.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities, $177.8 million of borrowings outstanding under our 2015 Debt Securitization (net of unamortized financing costs) and unfunded commitments of $43.5 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Citibank facility, we are restricted in terms of access to $2.0 million until the occurrence of the periodic distribution dates and, in connection therewith, our submission of our required periodic reporting schedules and verifications of our compliance with the terms of the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2017, $5.4 million of cash held in connection with the 2015 Debt Securitization was restricted.

Indebtedness
See “Note 6. Borrowings” in the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details regarding our indebtedness and secured borrowings.
Citibank Facility
As of December 31, 2017, the Citibank facility permitted up to $125.0 million of borrowings. As of December 31, 2017, borrowings under the Citibank facility are subject to certain customary advance rates and accrue interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum on broadly syndicated loans and LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum on all other eligible loans during the reinvestment period, and rates equal to LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum and LIBOR plus 4.00% per annum during the subsequent two years, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2017, there is a commitment fee payable on the undrawn amount under the Citibank facility of either 0.50% per annum on the unused amount of the Citibank facility (if the advances outstanding on the Citibank facility exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments by lenders to make advances on such day) or 0.75% per annum on the unused amount of the Citibank facility (if the advances outstanding on the Citibank facility do not exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments by lenders to make advances on such day) for the duration of the reinvestment period. Interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears. As of December 31, 2017, the reinvestment period under the Citibank facility would have ended on January 31, 2018 and the final maturity date was January 15, 2020. The Citibank facility requires us to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities.
As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, we had $70.1 million and $76.5 million outstanding under the Citibank facility, respectively. Our borrowings under the Citibank facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 3.919% and 3.213% for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we recorded interest expense of $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, related to the Citibank facility.
East West Bank Facility
On January 6, 2016, we entered into a five-year, $25 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the lenders referenced therein, U.S. Bank National Association, as custodian, and East West Bank as secured lender, or the East West Bank Facility. Borrowings under the East West Bank Facility bear an interest rate of either (i) LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum for borrowings in year one, 3.50% per annum for borrowings in year two, 3.25% per annum for borrowings in years three and four and 3.00% per annum for borrowings in year five, or (ii) East West Bank’s prime rate plus 0.75% per annum for borrowings in year one, 0.50% per annum for borrowings in year two, 0.25% per annum for borrowings in years three and four, and 0.00% per annum for borrowings in year five.

matures on January 6, 2021. The East West Bank Facility requires us to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities.
As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, we had $4.0 million and $6.5 million of borrowings outstanding under the East West Bank facility, respectively. Our borrowings under the East West Bank facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.088% and 3.498% for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we recorded interest expense of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to the East West Bank facility.
Debt Securitization
As of December 31, 2017, the 2015 Debt Securitization consists of $222.6 million in senior secured notes, or 2015 Notes, and $86.4 million of unsecured subordinated notes, or the Subordinated 2015 Notes. The notes offered in the 2015 Debt Securitization were issued by FS Senior Funding Ltd., or the 2015 Issuer, a wholly-owned subsidiary of us, through a private placement.
As of December 31, 2017, the 2015 Debt Securitization consists of $126.0 million Class A-T Senior Secured 2015 Notes which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.80%; $29.0 million Class A-S Senior Secured 2015 Notes which bore interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.55%, until a step-up in spread to 2.10% occurred in October 2016; $20.0 million Class A-R Senior Secured Revolving 2015 Notes which bear interest at a rate of commercial paper, or CP, plus 1.80%, or, collectively, the Class A 2015 Notes; and $25.0 million Class B Senior Secured 2015 Notes which bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.65% per annum, which were issued in a private placement. We currently retain the entire $22.6 million of Class C Senior Secured 2015 Notes (which we purchased at 98.0% of par value) and the entire $86.4 million of the Subordinated 2015 Notes. The 2015 Debt Securitization requires us to comply with certain monthly financial covenants, including overcollateralization and interest coverage tests.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We may be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, our only off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $39.5 million and $43.5 million, respectively, of unfunded commitments to provide debt and equity financing to certain of our portfolio companies. Such commitments are subject to our portfolio companies' satisfaction of certain financial and nonfinancial covenants and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
A list of unfunded commitments by investment (consisting of revolvers, term loans with delayed draw components and Glick JV Subordinated Notes and LLC equity interests) as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 is shown in the table below:

Regulated Investment Company Status and Distributions
We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As long as we continue to qualify as a RIC, we will not be subject to tax on our investment company taxable income (determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) or realized net capital gains, to the extent that such taxable income or gains is distributed, or deemed to be distributed as dividends, to stockholders on a timely basis.
Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Distributions declared and paid by us in a taxable year may differ from taxable income for that taxable year as such distributions may include the distribution of taxable income derived from the current taxable year or the distribution of taxable income derived from the prior taxable year carried forward into and distributed in the current taxable year. Distributions also may include returns of capital.
To maintain RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, distribute dividends, with respect to each taxable year, of an amount at least equal to 90% of our investment company taxable income (i.e., our net ordinary income and our realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any) determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. As a RIC, we are also subject to a federal excise tax, based on distribution requirements of our taxable income on a calendar year basis. We anticipate timely distribution of our taxable income in accordance with tax rules. We did not incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar years 2015 and 2016 and do not expect to incur a U.S. federal excise tax for the calendar year 2017. We may incur a federal excise tax in future years.
We intend to distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (which includes our taxable interest and fee income) to our stockholders. The covenants under the respective documents governing the Citibank facility, the East West Bank facility and the 2015 Debt Securitization could, under certain circumstances, hinder our ability to satisfy the distribution requirement associated with our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. In addition, we may retain for investment some or all of our net capital gains (i.e., realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses) and treat such amounts as deemed distributions to our stockholders. If we do this, our stockholders will be treated as if they received actual distributions of the capital gains we retained and then reinvested the net after-tax proceeds in our common stock. Our stockholders also may be eligible to claim tax credits (or, in certain circumstances, tax refunds) equal to their allocable share of the tax we paid on the capital gains deemed distributed to them. To the extent our taxable earnings for a fiscal and taxable year fall below the total amount of our dividend distributions for that fiscal and taxable year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders.
We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage test for borrowings applicable to us as a business development company under the 1940 Act and due to provisions in our credit facilities and

75


debt instruments. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our taxable income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions or distributions at a particular level.
A RIC may treat a distribution of its own stock as fulfilling its RIC distribution requirements if each stockholder elects to receive his or her entire distribution in either cash or stock of the RIC, subject to certain limitations regarding the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders. If these and certain other requirements are met, for U.S federal income tax purposes, the amount of the dividend paid in stock will be equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of stock. We have no current intention of paying dividends in shares of our stock in accordance with these guidelines.
We may generate qualified net interest income or qualified net short-term capital gains that may be exempt from U.S. withholding tax when distributed to foreign stockholders. A RIC is permitted to designate distributions of qualified net interest income and qualified short-term capital gains as exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to non-U.S. shareholders with proper documentation. The following table, which may be subject to change as we finalize our annual tax filings, lists the percentage of qualified net interest income and qualified short-term capital gains as of September 30, 2017, our last tax year end.

Related Party Transactions
We have entered into the New Investment Advisory Agreement with our Investment Adviser and the New Administration Agreement with Oaktree Administrator, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Adviser. Mr. John B. Frank, an interested member of our Board of Directors, has an indirect pecuniary interest in our Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or the Advisers Act, that is partially and indirectly owned by OCG. See “Note 11. Related Party Transactions-New Investment Advisory Agreement” and “-Administrative Services” in the notes to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
Prior to October 17, 2017, we were externally managed and advised by our Former Adviser, and our administrator was FSC CT LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Former Adviser. Messrs. Bernard D. Berman, Patrick J. Dalton, Ivelin M. Dimitrov, Alexander C. Frank and Todd G. Owens, each an interested member of our Board of Directors for all or a portion of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 and prior to October 17, 2017, had a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in our Former Adviser.
We serve as collateral manager to the 2015 Issuer under a collateral management agreement in connection with the 2015 Debt Securitization and are entitled to receive a fee for providing these services. We have retained a sub-collateral manager, which, as of October 17, 2017, was the Investment Adviser and, prior to October 17, 2017, was the Former Adviser, to provide collateral management sub-advisory services to us pursuant to a sub-collateral management agreement. The sub-collateral manager is entitled to receive 100% of the collateral management fees paid to us under the collateral management agreement, but each of our Investment Adviser and the Former Adviser irrevocably waived and, in the case of the Investment Adviser, intends to continue to irrevocably waive its right to such sub-collateral management fees in respect of the 2015 Debt Securitization.
Recent Developments
Dividend Declaration
On February 5, 2018, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share, payable on March 30, 2018 to stockholders of record on March 15, 2018.
Change in Investment Policy
Effective January 19, 2018, we were no longer subject to a policy to invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of our net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in floating rate senior loans.
Citibank Facility Amendment
On January 31, 2018, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, or the Loan Agreement, with OCSI Senior Funding II LLC (formerly FS Senior Funding II LLC), our wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, as the borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral agent, or the Restated Citibank Facility.

76


The Restated Citibank Facility permits up to $100 million of borrowings. Borrowings under the Restated Citibank Facility are subject to certain customary advance rates and accrue interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.70% per annum on broadly syndicated loans and LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum on all other eligible loans during the reinvestment period. Following termination of the reinvestment period, borrowings under the Restated Citibank Facility accrue interest at rates equal to LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum and LIBOR plus 4.00% per annum during the subsequent two years, respectively. In addition, for the duration of the reinvestment period there is a non-usage fee payable of 0.50% per annum on the undrawn amount under the Restated Citibank Facility. The non-usage fee is increased pursuant to a formula if, after the ramp up period, the advances outstanding on the Restated Citibank Facility do not exceed 70% of the aggregate commitments by lenders.
The reinvestment period under the Restated Citibank Facility ends January 30, 2021, and the final maturity date is January 31, 2023. The Restated Citibank Facility requires us to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies” in the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and the anticipated impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect both our cost of funding and our interest income from portfolio investments, cash and cash equivalents and idle funds investments. Our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs. Our investment income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates, to the extent our debt investments include floating interest rates. In addition, our investments are carried at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors in accordance with the 1940 Act. Our valuation methodology utilizes discount rates in part in valuing our investments, and changes in those discount rates may have an impact on the valuation of our investments.
As of December 31, 2017, 100% of our debt investment portfolio (at cost and fair value) bore interest at floating rates and had interest rate floors between 0% and 2%.
Based on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2017, the following table shows the approximate annualized increase (decrease) in components of net assets resulting from operations of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates, assuming no changes in our investment and capital structure. However, there can be no assurances our portfolio companies will be able to meet their contractual obligations at any or all levels of increases in interest rates.

A decline in interest rates of 200 basis points or greater would not have a material incremental impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements as compared to a 100 basis point decrease.
We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on this review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates. The following table shows a comparison of the interest rate base for our interest-bearing cash and outstanding investments, at principal, and our outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in timely identifying, recording, processing, summarizing and reporting any material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

Effective October 17, 2017, Oaktree became our investment adviser. During the three months ended December 31, 2017 in connection with Oaktree assuming its role as our investment adviser, we adopted new controls and procedures, including formalized policies and procedures and controls over the validation of portfolio company data. As a result of the adoption of such controls and procedures and the changes to our internal controls and procedures that resulted during the three months ended December 31, 2017, management has determined that, as of December 31, 2017, the previously disclosed material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting had been remediated.

Other than the changes described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first fiscal quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings
Although we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of our operations in the normal course of business or otherwise, we are currently not a party to any pending material legal proceedings except as described below.
SEC Examination and Investigation
On March 23, 2016, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC sent document subpoenas and document preservation notices to us, FSAM, FSCO GP LLC - General Partner of Fifth Street Opportunities Fund, L.P., or FSOF, and OCSL. The subpoenas sought production of documents relating to a variety of issues principally related to the activities of our Former Adviser, including those raised in an ordinary-course examination of the Former Adviser by the SEC’s Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations that began in October 2015, and in the previously disclosed OCSL and FSAM securities class actions and other previously disclosed litigation. The subpoenas were issued pursuant to a formal order of private investigation captioned In the Matter of the Fifth Street Group of Companies, No. HO-12925, dated March 23, 2016, which addresses (among other things) (i) the valuation of our portfolio companies and investments, (ii) the expenses allocated or charged to us and OCSL, (iii) FSOF’s trading in the securities of publicly traded business development companies, (iv) statements to our board of directors, other representatives of pooled investment vehicles, investors, or prospective investors concerning the fair value of our portfolio companies or investments as well as expenses allocated or charged to us and OCSL, (v) various issues relating to adoption and implementation of policies and procedures under the Advisers Act, (vi) statements and/or potential omissions in the entities’ SEC filings, (vii) the entities’ books, records, and accounts and whether they fairly and accurately reflected the entities’ transactions and dispositions of assets, and (viii) several other issues relating to corporate books and records. The formal order cites various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, and the Advisers Act, as well as rules promulgated under those Acts, as the bases of the investigation. We are cooperating with the Division of Enforcement investigation, have produced requested documents, and have been communicating with Division of Enforcement personnel. Our Investment Adviser is not subject to these subpoenas.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes during the three months ended December 31, 2017 to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017.
