 19    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 1. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Interim consolidated financial statements of TICC Capital Corp. (TICC and, together with its subsidiaries, the Company) are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair statement of
consolidated financial results for the interim periods have been included. The current periods consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the year. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). NOTE 2. ORGANIZATION TICC Capital Corp. (TICC or the Company) was incorporated under the General Corporation Laws of the State of Maryland on July 21, 2003 and is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company. TICC has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). In addition, TICC has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company (RIC), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Companys investment objective is to maximize its total
return, by investing primarily in corporate debt securities. TICCs investment activities are managed by TICC Management, LLC, (TICC Management), a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. BDC Partners, LLC (BDC Partners) is the managing member of TICC Management and serves as the administrator of TICC. The Companys operations include the activities of its its wholly-owned subsidiary, TICC Capital Corp. 2011-1 Holdings, LLC (Holdings), and its indirect subsidiaries, TICC CLO LLC (2011 Securitization Issuer or TICC CLO), TICC CLO 2012-1 LLC (2012 Securitization Issuer or TICC CLO 2012-1) and TICC Funding, LLC (TICC Funding). These subsidiaries were formed for the purpose of enabling the Company to obtain debt financing and are operated solely for the investment activities of the Company, and the Company has substantial equity at risk. TICC Funding
was formed on September 17, 2014, for the purpose of entering into a credit and security agreement with Citibank, N.A., to replace the financing previously obtained through TICC CLO. TICC CLO effectively ceased operations on October 27, 2014, and the notes payable by TICC CLO were repaid with borrowings under the debt facility of TICC Funding. See Note 7. Borrowings for additional information on the Companys subsidiaries and their borrowings. NOTE 3. CHANGE OF ACCOUNTING FOR COLLATERALIZED LOAN OBLIGATION EQUITY INVESTMENT INCOME During the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified a non-material error in its accounting for income from Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) equity investments. The Company had recorded income from its CLO equity investments using the dividend recognition model as described in ASC 946-320; specifically, dividends were recognized on the applicable record date, subject to estimation and collectability, with a reduction to cost basis in those instances where the Company believed that a return of capital had occurred. The Company has determined that the appropriate method for recording investment income on CLO
equity investments is the effective yield method as described in ASC 325-40. This method requires the calculation of an effective yield to expected maturity based upon an estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows, including recurring cash flows as well as future principal repayments; the difference between the actual cash received (and record date distributions to be received) and the effective yield income calculation is an adjustment to cost. The effective yield is reviewed quarterly and adjusted as appropriate.
 20    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 3. CHANGE OF ACCOUNTING FOR COLLATERALIZED LOAN OBLIGATION EQUITY INVESTMENT INCOME  (continued) The difference between the two methods resulted in an income reclassification error which would generally have resulted in a decrease in total investment income with a corresponding and offsetting increase to net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and net realized gains/losses on investments. The Company quantified this error and assessed it in accordance with the guidance provided in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. Based on this assessment, the Company
concluded that the error in income classification did not have a material impact on the Companys previously filed consolidated financial statements. As a result of this misclassification of income, net investment income incentive fees were overstated by approximately $2.4 million on a cumulative basis through 2014 and, as a result, total net assets as of December 31, 2014 were understated by the same amount, approximately $0.04 per share. The Company also considered this indirect impact of the error in classification, concluded that the error was not material to the Companys previously filed consolidated financial statements. The error was corrected by an out-of-period adjustment in the first quarter of 2015, reducing net investment income incentive fees by
approximately $2.4 million and recognizing a corresponding due from affiliate of $2.4 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the adjustment had the effect of increasing net assets and net increase in net assets resulting from net investment income by $2.4 million or approximately $0.04 per share (basic). On a fully diluted basis, the net increase in net assets resulting from net investment income increased by approximately $0.03 per share. TICC Management repaid in full to TICC, on April 30, 2015, the portion of its previously paid net investment income incentive fees attributable to the overstated amounts. Prospectively as of January 1, 2015, the Company records income from its CLO equity investments using the effective yield method in accordance with the accounting guidance in ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon an estimation of an effective yield to maturity utilizing assumed cash flows. NOTE 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Holdings, and its indirect subsidiaries, TICC CLO, TICC CLO 2012-1 and TICC Funding. All inter-company accounts and transaction have been eliminated in consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and provide indemnifications. The Companys maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based upon experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote. CONSOLIDATION As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946-810  Financial Services  Investment Companies, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly-owned investment company or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. TICC CLO, TICC CLO 2012-1 and TICC Funding would be considered investment
 21    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) companies but for the exceptions under Sections 3(c)(1) and 3(c)(7) under the 1940 Act, and were established solely for the purpose of allowing the Company to borrow funds for the purpose of making investments. The Company owns all of the equity in these entities and controls the decision making power that drives their economic performance. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the results of the Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries in its financial statements. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost or amortized cost which approximates fair value. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents consisted solely of demand deposits. Restricted cash represents the cash held by the trustees of the Companys CLO and special purpose vehicle subsidiaries. These amounts are held by the trustee for payment of interest expense and operating expenses of the entity, principal repayments on borrowings, or new investments, based upon the terms of the respective indenture, and are not available for general corporate purposes. INVESTMENT VALUATION The Company fair values its investment portfolio in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure. An estimate made in the preparation of TICCs consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments, as well as the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. TICC believes that there is no single definitive method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied
valuation process for the types of investments TICC makes. ASC 820-10 clarified the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active
markets; Level 2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. TICC considers the attributes of current market conditions on an on-going basis and has determined that due to the general illiquidity of the market for its investment portfolio, whereby little or no market data exists, almost all of TICCs investments are based upon Level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2015. TICCs Board of Directors determines the value of its investment portfolio each quarter. In connection with that determination, members of TICC Managements portfolio management team prepare a quarterly analysis of each portfolio investment using the most recent portfolio company financial statements, forecasts and other relevant financial and operational information. Since March 2004, TICC has engaged third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain of its syndicated loans and bilateral investments, including related equity investments, although TICCs Board of Directors ultimately
determines the appropriate valuation of each such investment. Changes in fair value, as described above, are recorded in the statement of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Syndicated Loans In accordance with ASC 820-10-35, TICCs valuation procedures specifically provide for the review of indicative quotes supplied by the large agent banks that make a market for each security. However, the
 22    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) marketplace from which TICC obtains indicative bid quotes for purposes of determining the fair value of its syndicated loan investments has shown attributes of illiquidity as described by ASC-820-10-35. Due to limited market liquidity in the syndicated loan market, TICC believes that the non-binding indicative bids received from agent banks for certain syndicated investments that TICC owns may not be determinative of their fair value and therefore alternative valuation procedures may need to be undertaken. As a result, TICC has engaged third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain syndicated investments
that TICC owns. In addition, TICC Management prepares an analysis of each syndicated loan, financial summary, covenant compliance review, recent trading activity in the security, if known, and other business developments related to the portfolio company. All available information, including non-binding indicative bids which may not be determinative of fair value, is presented to the Valuation Committee to consider in its determination of fair value. In some instances, there may be limited trading activity in a security even though the market for the security is considered not active. In such cases the Valuation Committee will consider the number of trades, the size and timing of each trade, and other circumstances around such trades, to the extent such information is available, in its determination of fair value. The Valuation Committee will evaluate the impact of such additional information, and factor it into its consideration of the fair value that is indicated by the analysis
provided by third-party valuation firms, if any. Collateralized Loan Obligations  Debt and Equity During the past several years, TICC has acquired a number of debt and equity positions in CLO investment vehicles and more recently CLO warehouse investments. These investments are special purpose financing vehicles. In valuing such investments, TICC considers the operating metrics of the specific investment vehicle, including compliance with collateralization tests, defaulted and restructured securities, and payment defaults, if any. In addition, TICC considers the indicative prices provided by a recognized industry pricing service as a primary source, and the implied yield of such prices, supplemented by actual trades
executed in the market at or around period-end, as well as the indicative prices provided by the broker who arranges transactions in such investment vehicles. TICC also considers those instances in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require a downward adjustment to the indicative price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. Additional factors include any available information on other relevant transactions including firm bids and offers in the market and information resulting from bids-wanted-in-competition. TICC Management or the Valuation Committee may request an additional analysis by a third-party firm to assist in the valuation process of CLO investment vehicles. All information is presented to TICCs Board of Directors for its determination of fair value of these investments. Bilateral Investments (Including Equity) Bilateral investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued by an independent pricing agent or market maker. If such market quotations are not readily available, under the valuation procedures approved by TICCs Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Valuation Committee, a third-party valuation firm will prepare valuations for each of TICCs bilateral investments that, when combined with all other investments in the same portfolio company, (i) have a value as of the previous quarter of greater than or equal to 2.5% of its total assets as of the previous quarter, and (ii) have a
value as of the current quarter of greater than or equal to 2.5% of its total assets as of the previous quarter, after taking into account any repayment of principal during the current quarter. In addition, in those instances where a third-party valuation is prepared for a portfolio investment which meets the parameters noted in (i) and (ii) above, the frequency of those third-party valuations is based upon the grade assigned to each such security under its credit grading system as follows: Grade 1, at least annually; Grade 2, at least semi-annually; Grades 3, 4, and 5, at least quarterly. Bilateral investments which do not meet the parameters in (i) and (ii) above are not required to have a third-party valuation and, in those instances, a valuation analysis will be prepared by TICC Management. TICC Management also retains the authority to seek, on TICCs behalf, additional third

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) party valuations with respect to both TICCs bilateral portfolio securities and TICCs syndicated loan investments. TICCs Board of Directors retains ultimate authority as to the third-party review cycle as well as the appropriate valuation of each investment. INVESTMENT INCOME: Interest Income Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis using the contractual rate applicable to each debt investment and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company generally restores non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the
Companys judgement, are likely to remain current. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no non-accrual assets held in its portfolio. As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of TICCs non-accrual assets was approximately $3.5 million, which comprised 0.4% of the total fair value of its portfolio and the cost of TICCs non-accrual assets was approximately $9.4 million, which comprised approximately 1.0% of the total cost of its portfolio. Income from Securitization Vehicles and Equity Investments Income from investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles (typically income notes or subordinated notes) is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon an estimation of an effective yield to maturity utilizing assumed cash flows, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The Company monitors the expected residual payments, and effective yield is determined and updated periodically, as needed. Accordingly, investment
income recognized on CLO equity securities in the GAAP statement of operations differs from both the tax-basis investment income and from the cash distributions actually received by the Company during the period. Payment-In-Kind TICC has investments in its portfolio which contain a contractual payment-in-kind (PIK) provision. Certain PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or additional securities. PIK interest computed at the contractual rate is accrued into income and added to the principal balance on the capitalization date. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status once it becomes probable that PIK will be realized. To maintain its status as a RIC, this
income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though TICC has not collected any cash. Amounts necessary to pay these dividends may come from available cash or the liquidation of certain investments. In addition, the Company earns income from the discount on debt securities it purchases, including original issue discount (OID) and market discount. Original issue discount and market discounts are capitalized and amortized into income using the interest method, as applicable. Other Income Other income includes distributions from fee letters, closing or origination fees, and success fees associated with portfolio investments. Distributions from fee letters are an enhancement to the return on a

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) CLO equity investment and are based upon a percentage of the collateral managers fees, and are recorded as other income when earned. Closing or origination fees, if any, are normally paid at closing of an investment, are fully earned and non-refundable, and generally are non-recurring. The Company may also earn success fees associated with its investments in certain securitization vehicles or CLO warehouse facilities, which are contingent upon a take-out of the warehouse by a permanent CLO structure; such fees are earned and recognized when the take-out is completed. DEFERRED DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS Deferred debt issuance costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the closing or amending of credit facilities and debt offerings, and are capitalized at the time of payment. These costs are amortized using the straight line method over the terms of the respective credit facilities and debt securities. This amortization expense is included in interest expense in the Companys financial statements. Upon early termination of debt, or a credit facility, the remaining balance of unaccreted fees related to such debt is accelerated into interest expense. EQUITY OFFERING COSTS Equity offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration and public offer and sale of the Companys common stock, including legal, accounting and printing fees. These costs are deferred at the time of incurrence and are subsequently charged to capital when the offering takes place or as shares are issued. Deferred costs are periodically reviewed and expensed if the related registration is no longer active. SHARE REPURCHASES In connection with the Companys share repurchase program, the cost of shares repurchased is charged to capital on the settlement date. OTHER ASSETS Other assets consists of prepaid expenses associated primarily with insurance costs. U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and, as such, to not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, TICC is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statement to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of
short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. For tax purposes, the cost basis of the portfolio investments at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, was approximately $1,040,950,570 and $1,038,761,529, respectively.

 Significant Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Investments The following tables provide quantitative information about the Companys Level 3 fair value measurements as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Companys valuation policy, as described above, establishes parameters for the sources and types of valuation analysis, as well as the methodologies and inputs that the Company uses in determining fair value. If the Valuation Committee or TICC Management determines that additional techniques, sources or inputs are appropriate or necessary in a given situation, such additional work will be undertaken. The tables, therefore, are not all-inclusive, but
provide information on the significant Level 3 inputs that are pertinent to the Companys fair value measurements. The weighted average calculations in the table below are based on principal balances for all debt related calculations and CLO equity.  ($ in millions)

          The Company generally uses prices provided by an independent pricing service, or broker or agent bank non-binding indicative bid prices (NBIB) on or near the valuation date as the primary basis for the fair value determinations for syndicated notes, and CLO debt and equity investments, which may be adjusted for pending equity distributions as of valuation date. These bid prices are non-binding, and may not be determinative of fair value. Each bid price is evaluated by the Valuation Committee in conjunction with additional information compiled by TICC Management, including financial performance, recent business developments, and, in the case of CLO debt and equity investments, performance and covenant compliance information as provided by the independent trustee. (2)

          EBITDA, or earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, is an unobservable input which is generally based on most recently available twelve month financial statements provided by the portfolio company. Market multiples, also an unobservable input, represent an estimation of where market participants might value an enterprise based upon information available for comparable companies in the market. (3)

          Discount rate represents the rate at which future cash flows are discounted to calculate a present value, reflecting market assumptions for risk. (4)

          The calculation of weighted average for a range of values, for multiple investments within a given asset category, is not considered to provide a meaningful representation (ncm). (5)

          The Company will calculate the fair value of certain CLO equity investments based upon the net present value of expected contractual payment streams discounted using estimated market yields for the equity tranche of the respective CLO vehicle. TICC will also consider those investments in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require an adjustment to the transaction price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. (6)

          Prices provided by independent pricing services are evaluated in conjunction with actual trades and payoffs and, in certain cases, the value represented by actual trades or payoffs may be more representative of fair value as determined by the Valuation Committee. (7)

          For the Companys bilateral debt investments and equity investments, third-party valuation firms evaluate the financial and operational information of the portfolio companies that we provide to them, as well as independent market and industry information that they consider appropriate in forming an opinion as to the fair value of our securities.

  (1)

          The Company generally uses prices provided by an independent pricing service, or broker or agent bank non-binding indicative bid prices (NBIB) on or near the valuation date as the primary basis for the fair value determinations for syndicated notes, and CLO debt and equity investments, which may be adjusted for pending equity distributions as of valuation date. These bid prices are non-binding, and may not be determinative of fair value. Each bid price is evaluated by the Valuation Committee in conjunction with additional information compiled by TICC Management, including financial performance, recent business developments, and, in the case of CLO debt and equity investments, performance and covenant compliance information as provided by the independent trustee. (2)

          EBITDA, or earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, is an unobservable input which is generally based on most recently available twelve month financial statements provided by the portfolio company. Market multiples, also an unobservable input, represent an estimation of where market participants might value an enterprise based upon information available for comparable companies in the market. (3)

          Discount rate represents the rate at which future cash flows are discounted to calculate a present value, reflecting market assumptions for risk. (4)

          The calculation of weighted average for a range of values, for multiple investments within a given asset category, is not considered to provide a meaningful representation (ncm).
 28    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE   (continued) (5)

          The Company will calculate the fair value of certain CLO equity investments based upon the net present value of expected contractual payment streams discounted using estimated market yields for the equity tranche of the respective CLO vehicle. TICC will also consider those investments in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require an adjustment to the transaction price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. (6)

          Prices provided by independent pricing services are evaluated in conjunction with actual trades and payoffs and, in certain cases, the value represented by actual trades or payoffs may be more representative of fair value as determined by the Valuation Committee. (7)

          For the Companys bilateral debt investments and equity investments, third-party valuation firms evaluate the financial and operational information of the portfolio companies that we provide to them, as well as independent market and industry information that they consider appropriate in forming an opinion as to the fair value of our securities. In those instances where the carrying value and/or internal credit rating of the investment does not require the use of a third-party valuation firm, a valuation is prepared by TICC Management, which may include liquidation analysis or which may utilize a subsequent transaction to provide an indication of fair value. (8)

          Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.

 Notes Payable  TICC CLO 2012-1 LLC On August 23, 2012, the Company completed a $160 million debt securitization financing transaction, consisting of $120 million in secured notes and $40 million of the 2012 Subordinated Notes. On February 25, 2013 and May 28, 2013, TICC CLO 2012-1 issued additional secured notes totaling an aggregate of $120 million and 2012 Subordinated Notes totaling an aggregate of $40 million, which 2012 Subordinated Notes were purchased by us, under the accordion feature of the debt securitization which allowed, under certain circumstances and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, for an increase in the amount of
secured and subordinated notes. It is not necessary that the Company own all or any of the notes permitted by this feature, which may affect the accounting treatment of the debt securitization financing transaction. As of March 31, 2015, the secured notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer have an aggregate face amount of $240 million and were issued in four classes. The class A-1 notes have a current face amount of $176 million, are rated AAA (sf)/Aaa (sf) by Standard & Poors Ratings Services (S&P) and Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), respectively, and bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.75%. The class B-1 notes have a current face amount of $20 million, are rated AA (sf)/Aa2 (sf) by S&P and Moodys, respectively, and bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 3.50%. The class C-1 notes have a current face amount of $23 million, are rated A (sf)/A2 (sf) by S&P and Moodys,
respectively, and bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 4.75%. The class D-1 notes have a current face amount of $21 million, are rated BBB (sf)/Baa2 (sf) by S&P and Moodys, respectively, and bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 5.75%. TICC presently owns all of the 2012 Subordinated Notes, which totaled $80 million as of March 31, 2015. During a period of up to four years from the closing date, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the 2012 Securitization Issuer to purchase new collateral under our direction in our capacity as collateral manager of the 2012 Securitization Issuer and in accordance with our investment strategy, allowing us to maintain the initial leverage in the securitization for such four-year period. All note classes are scheduled to mature on August 25, 2023.
 33    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 7. BORROWINGS   (continued) The proceeds of the private placement of the Classes A, B, C, D and 2012 Subordinated Notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer, net of discount and debt issuance costs, were used for investment purposes. As part of the securitization, we entered into a master loan sale agreement with TICC CLO 2012-1 pursuant to which we agreed to sell or contribute certain senior secured and second lien loans (or participation interests therein) to TICC CLO 2012-1, and to purchase or otherwise acquire the 2012 Subordinated Notes. The Classes A, B, C, D and 2012 Subordinated Notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer are the secured obligations of
TICC CLO 2012-1, and an indenture governing the notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer includes customary covenants and events of default. As of March 31, 2015, there were 42 investments in portfolio companies with a total fair value of approximately $314.2 million, collateralizing the secured notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer. The pool of loans in the securitization must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements. The aggregate accrued interest payable on the notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer at March 31, 2015 was approximately $0.7 million. Deferred debt issuance costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with debt offerings. As of March 31, 2015, TICC had a deferred debt issuance balance of approximately $2.9 million associated with this securitization. Aggregate net discount on the notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer at the time of issuance totaled approximately $4.9 million. These amounts are being amortized and included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the
debt securitization. The following table sets forth the components of interest expense, effective annualized average interest rates and cash paid for interest of the Class A-1, B-1, C-1 and D-1 for the three months ended Months 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively:  TICC CLO 2012-1 LLC

 As of March 31, 2015, the principal amount of the Convertible Notes exceeded the value of the underlying shares multiplied by the per share closing price of the Companys common stock. The Convertible Notes are TICCs general, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of TICCs existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of its subordinated indebtedness. As a result, the Convertible Notes will be effectively subordinated to TICCs existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to any existing and future liabilities and other indebtedness of its subsidiaries.
 36    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 7. BORROWINGS   (continued) Credit Facility On October 27, 2014, TICC Funding, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a revolving credit facility (the Facility) with Citibank, N.A. Subject to certain exceptions, pricing under the Facility is based on the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) for an interest period equal to three months plus a spread of 1.50% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement governing the Facility, TICC Funding has borrowed, on a revolving basis, the maximum aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000. The revolving basis period will end on October 27, 2016
(Reinvestment Period), subject to certain exceptions. Post Reinvestment Period, the Facility has a mandatory amortization schedule such that twenty-five percent (25.0%) and fifty percent (50.0%) of the principal amount outstanding as of October 27, 2016 will be due and payable, on January 18, 2017 and April 18, 2017, respectively, and the remaining principal amount outstanding and accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on October 27, 2017. The Company used part of the proceeds from the Facility to redeem all of the $101.25 million of Class A secured notes issued by TICC CLO on August 10, 2011. The Facility is secured by a pool of loans initially consisting of loans sold by TICC CLO to TICC Funding, loans sold to and contributed by the Company to TICC Funding, and loans purchased by TICC Funding from unaffiliated third parties. The Company may sell and contribute additional loans to TICC Funding from time to time. The Company will act as the collateral manager of the loans owned by TICC Funding, and has retained a residual interest through its ownership of TICC Funding. As of March 31, 2015, there were 45 investments in portfolio companies with a total fair value of approximately $298.7 million, collateralizing the Facility. The pool of loans in TICC Funding must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements. The aggregate accrued interest payable on the Facility at March 31, 2015 was approximately $0.7 million. Deferred debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Facility. As of March 31, 2015, TICC had a deferred debt balance of approximately $0.8 million. This amount is being amortized and included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the Facility.

          During the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified a non-material error in its accounting for income from CLO equity investments  refer to Note 3. Change of Accounting for Collateralized Loan
 38    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE   (continued) Obligation Equity Income. Prospectively as of January 1, 2015, the Company records income from its CLO equity investments using the effective yield method in accordance with the accounting guidance in ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon an estimation of an effective yield to maturity utilizing assumed cash flows. An out-of-period adjustment to net investment income incentive fees, in the amount of $2.4 million, is reflected in the first quarter of 2015. Prior period amounts are not materially affected. NOTE 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Investment Advisory Fees The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement with TICC Management (the Investment Advisory Agreement) under which TICC Management, subject to the overall supervision of TICCs Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, TICC. For providing these services TICC Management receives a fee from TICC, consisting of two components: a base management fee (the Base Fee) and an incentive fee. The Base Fee is calculated at an annual rate of 2.00%. The Base Fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and is calculated based on the average
value of TICCs gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any equity or debt capital raises, repurchases or redemptions during the current calendar quarter. Accordingly, the Base Fee will be payable regardless of whether the value of the Companys gross assets have decreased during the quarter. The following table represents the Base Fee for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:  Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

 Net Investment Income Incentive Fee The incentive fee has two parts. The first part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Companys Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means interest income, income from securitization vehicles and equity investments and any other income (including any other fees that TICC receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Companys operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Fee, expenses payable under the Companys
administration agreement with BDC Partners (the 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 original issue discount, 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 gains, realized losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Companys net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to one-fourth of an annual hurdle rate. Given that this portion of the incentive fee is payable without regard to any gain, loss or unrealized
depreciation that may occur during the quarter, this portion of TICC Managements incentive fee may also be payable notwithstanding a decline in net asset value that quarter.
 39    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS   (continued) During the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified a non-material error in its accounting policy for revenue recognition  refer to Note 3. Change of Accounting for Collateralized Loan Obligation Equity Income. As a result of this error, because the net investment income incentive fee in prior years was based upon net investment income as previously reported, the net investment income incentive fees were overstated by approximately $2.4 million on a cumulative basis through the year ended 2014. Therefore, a reduction in expenses as well as due from affiliate of approximately $2.4
million was recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, which represents the cumulative indirect effect of the error on the Companys net investment income incentive fees. This reversal of expenses was partially offset by net investment income incentive fees earned for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of approximately $318,000. TICC Management repaid in full to TICC, on April 30, 2015, the portion of its previously paid net investment income incentive fees attributable to the overstated amounts. For each year commencing on or after January 1, 2005, the annual hurdle rate has been determined as of the immediately preceding December 31st by adding 5.0% to the interest rate then payable on the most recently issued five-year U.S. Treasury Notes, up to a maximum annual hurdle rate of 10.0%. The annual hurdle rates for the 2014, 2013 and 2012 calendar years was 6.75%, 5.72% and 5.83%, respectively. The current hurdle rate for the 2015 calendar year, calculated as of December 31, 2014, is 6.65%.

 Incentive fees, based upon Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, were approximately $0.3 million and $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. The net investment income incentive fee payable to TICC Management as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, was approximately $0.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively. In addition, in the event the Company recognizes payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest income in excess of its available capital, the Company may be required to liquidate assets in order to pay a portion of the incentive fee. TICC Management, however, is not required to reimburse the Company for the portion of any incentive fees attributable to PIK loan interest income in the event of a subsequent default.
 40    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS   (continued) Capital Gains Incentive Fees The second part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 20% of our Incentive Fee Capital Gains, which consist of our realized gains for each calendar year, computed net of all realized losses and unrealized depreciation for that calendar year. For accounting purposes only, in order to reflect the theoretical capital gains incentive fee that would be payable for a given period as if all unrealized gains were realized, we will accrue a capital gains incentive fee
based upon net realized gains and unrealized depreciation for that calendar year (in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement), plus unrealized appreciation on investments held at the end of the period. It should be noted that a fee so calculated and accrued would not necessarily be payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of capital gains incentive fees in subsequent periods. Amounts paid under the Investment Advisory Agreement will be consistent with the formula reflected in the Investment Advisory Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 there was no capital gains incentive fee expense recorded under the hypothetical liquidation calculation, whereas, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 an accrual reversal of approximately $2.2 million was recorded. The amount of capital gains incentive fee expense related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to TICC Management in the event of a complete liquidation of our portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement on such date.
Also, it should be noted that the capital gains incentive fee expense fluctuates with our overall investment results. The accrued capital gains incentive fee payable for each of the three months ending March 31, 2015 and the year ending December 31, 2014 was approximately $0. The following table represents the capital gains incentive fees (accrual reduction) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:  Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

 Administration Agreement The Company has also entered into an administration agreement (the Administration Agreement) with BDC Partners under which BDC Partners provides administrative services for TICC. The Company pays BDC Partners an allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by BDC Partners in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including a portion of the rent and the compensation of the chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, controller and other administrative support personnel, which creates potential conflicts of interest that the Board of Directors must monitor. TICC Management is controlled by BDC Partners, its managing member. Charles M. Royce holds a minority, non-controlling interest in TICC Management. BDC Partners manages the business and internal affairs of TICC Management. Jonathan H. Cohen, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, as well as a Director, is the managing member of BDC Partners. Saul B. Rosenthal, the Companys President and Chief Operating Officer, is also the President and Chief Operating Officer of TICC Management and a member of BDC Partners. Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal have an equal equity interest in BDC Partners. Charles M. Royce, the
Companys non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, does not take part in the management or participate in the operations of TICC Management; however, Mr. Royce is expected to be available from time to time to TICC Management to provide certain consulting services without compensation.
 41    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS   (continued) For each of the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, TICC incurred base investment advisory fees of approximately $5.0 million in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, TICC incurred approximately $480,000 and $415,000 in compensation expenses for the services of employees allocated to the administrative activities of TICC, pursuant to the Administration Agreement with BDC Partners. Further, TICC incurred approximately $18,000 for facility costs allocated under the agreement for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. At
March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, approximately $5.0 million and $5.4 million of the base investment advisory fees remained payable to TICC Management. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, compensation expense payable was $242,000 and $0, respectively, and for the same periods, facility expense payable was approximately $11,000 and $5,000, respectively. NOTE 10. DISTRIBUTIONS The Company intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under the Code and, as such, the Company would not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify as a RIC, the Company is required, among other requirements, to distribute at least 90% of its annual investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and is based upon the annual taxable income estimated by the management of the Company. Income calculated in accordance with
US federal income tax regulations differs substantially from GAAP income. To the extent that the Companys taxable earnings fall below the amount of distributions declared, however, 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. The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to regulated investment companies to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it of substantially all federal income taxes. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income, if any, as required. On March 31, 2015, the Company paid a distribution of $0.27 per share. The Company has a distribution reinvestment plan under which all distributions are paid to stockholders in the form of additional shares purchased in the open market, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. NOTE 11. NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE The Companys net asset value per share at March 31, 2015 was $8.72, and at December 31, 2014 was $8.64. In determining the Companys net asset value per share, the Board of Directors determined in good faith the fair value of the Companys portfolio investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available.

          During the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified a non-material error in its accounting policy for revenue recognition  refer to Note 3. Change in Accounting for Collateralized Loan Obligation Equity Investment Income in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The 1940 Act requires that a business development company offer managerial assistance to its portfolio companies. The Company may receive fee income for managerial assistance it renders to portfolio companies in connection with its investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company received no fee income for managerial assistance.
 43    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 13. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM On December 18, 2014, our board of directors authorized a repurchase program to be in place until the earlier of June 30, 2015 or until $50 million of our outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased. Under the repurchase program, we may, but we are not obligated to, repurchase our outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time provided that we comply with the prohibitions under our Insider Trading Policies and Procedures and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including certain price, market volume and timing constraints. In addition, any
repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the 1940 Act. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we repurchased 315,783 shares at the weighted average price of approximately $7.56 per share, inclusive of commissions. This represents a discount of approximately 13.34% of the net asset value per share at March 31, 2015. The total dollar amount of shares repurchased in this period is approximately $2.4 million, leaving a maximum of approximately $46.4 million available for future program purchases. NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Company enters into a variety of undertakings containing a variety of warranties and indemnifications that may expose the Company to some risk of loss. The risk of future loss arising from such undertakings, while not quantifiable, is expected to be remote. As of March 31, 2015, the Company did not have any commitments to purchase additional debt or equity investments. The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Companys rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

          During the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified a non-material error in its accounting for income from CLO equity investments  refer to Note 3. Change of Accounting for Collateralized Loan Obligation Equity Income. Prospectively as of January 1, 2015, the Company records income from its CLO equity investments using the effective yield method in accordance with the accounting guidance in ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon an estimation of an effective yield to maturity utilizing assumed cash flows. An out-of-period adjustment to net investment income incentive fees, in the amount of $2.4 million, is reflected in the first quarter of 2015. Prior period amounts are not materially affected. (4)

          Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the extent the Companys taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Companys distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Companys stockholders. The tax character of distributions will be determined at the end of the fiscal year. (5)

          Total return equals the increase or decrease of ending market value over beginning market value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning market value, assuming distribution reinvestment prices obtained under the Companys distribution reinvestment plan, excluding any discounts. Total return is not annualized. (6)

 NOTE 16. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements  Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The standard requires management to evaluate, at each interim and annual reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entitys ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is
effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect to early adopt ASU 2014-15, and we do not believe the standard will have a material impact on our financial statements. On February 18, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-2, which updated consolidation standards under ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. Under this update, a new consolidation analysis is required for variable interest entities (VIEs) and will limit the circumstances in which investment managers and similar entities are required to consolidate the entities that they manage. The FASB decided to eliminate some of the criteria under which their fees are considered a variable interest and limit the circumstances in which variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of a reporting enterprise require the
reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-2 on its financial statements. On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted for financial statements that have not been
previously issued. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 on its financial statements. NOTE 17. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in checking accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. In addition, the Companys portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of portfolio companies, which will subject the Company to a risk of significant loss if any of these companies defaults on its obligations under any of its debt securities that the Company holds or if those sectors experience a market downturn.
 46    TABLE OF CONTENTS TICC CAPITAL CORP.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2015 NOTE 18. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The U.S. capital markets have recently experienced periods of extreme volatility and disruption. Disruptions in the capital markets tend to increase the spread between the yields realized on risk-free and higher risk securities, resulting in illiquidity in parts of the capital markets. The Company believes these conditions may reoccur in the future. A prolonged period of market illiquidity may have an adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse economic conditions could also increase the Companys funding costs, limit the Companys access to the capital
markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Company. These events could limit the Companys investment originations, limit the Companys ability to grow and negatively impact the Companys operating results. Many of the companies in which the Company has made or will make investments may be susceptible to adverse economic conditions, which may affect the ability of a company to repay TICCs loans or engage in a liquidity event such as a sale, recapitalization, or initial public offering. Therefore, the Companys nonperforming assets may increase, and the value of the Companys portfolio may decrease during this period. Adverse economic conditions also may decrease the value of any collateral securing some of the Companys loans and the value of its equity investments. Adverse economic conditions could lead to
financial losses in the Companys portfolio and a decrease in its revenues, net income, and the value of the Companys assets. A portfolio companys failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by the Company or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, termination of the portfolio companys loans and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize the portfolio companys ability to meet its obligations under the debt securities that the Company holds. The Company may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company. In addition, if a portfolio company goes bankrupt,
even though the Company may have structured its investment as senior debt or secured debt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which the Company actually provided significant managerial assistance, if any, to that portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might re-characterize the Companys debt holding and subordinate all or a portion of the Companys claim to that of other creditors. These events could harm the Companys financial condition and operating results. As a business development company, the Company is required to carry its investments at market value or, if no market value is ascertainable, at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of its Board of Directors. Decreases in the market values or fair values of the Companys investments are recorded as unrealized depreciation. Depending on market conditions, the Company could incur substantial losses in future periods, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations. NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 27, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.29 per share for the second quarter, payable on June 30, 2015 to shareholders of record as of June 16, 2015. On April 27, 2015, TICC, as collateral manager, on behalf of TICC CLO, executed the satisfaction and discharge of the underlying indenture of the issuer, TICC CLO.

          the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest; 

          the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives; 

          our expected financings and investments; 

          the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital; and 

          the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation: 

          an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies; 

          a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and investment activities; 

          interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly because we use leverage as part of our investment strategy; 

          currency fluctuations could adversely affect the results of our investments in foreign companies, particularly to the extent that we receive payments denominated in foreign currency rather than U.S. dollars; and 

          the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in Item 1A.  Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC. Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new loans and investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our
plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in Item 1A.  Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
 48    TABLE OF CONTENTS 2014, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except where the context requires otherwise, the terms TICC, Company, we, us and our refer to TICC Capital Corp. together with its subsidiaries, TICC Capital Corp. 2011-1 Holdings LLC (Holdings), TICC CLO LLC (2011 Securitization Issuer or TICC CLO), TICC CLO 2012-1 LLC (2012 Securitization Issuer or TICC CLO 2012-1), and TICC Funding, LLC (TICC Funding); TICC Management refers to TICC Management, LLC; and BDC Partners refers to BDC Partners, LLC. The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. OVERVIEW Our investment objective is to maximize our portfolios total return. Our primary focus is to seek current income by investing in corporate debt securities. We have also invested and may continue to invest in structured finance investments, including collateralized loan obligation (CLO) vehicles, which own debt securities. We may also invest in publicly traded debt and/or equity securities. We operate as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company and have elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). We
have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company (RIC), under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), beginning with our 2003 taxable year. Our investment activities are managed by TICC Management, a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. TICC Management is owned by BDC Partners, its managing member, and Charles M. Royce, our non-executive Chairman, who holds a minority, non-controlling interest in TICC Management. Jonathan H. Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer, and Saul B. Rosenthal, our President and Chief Operating Officer, are the controlling members of BDC Partners. Under an investment advisory agreement (the Investment Advisory Agreement), we have agreed to pay TICC Management an annual base fee
calculated on gross assets, and an incentive fee based upon our performance. Under an amended and restated administration agreement (the Administration Agreement), we have agreed to pay or reimburse BDC Partners, as administrator, for certain expenses incurred in operating TICC. Our executive officers and directors, and the executive officers of TICC Management and BDC Partners, serve or may serve as officers and directors of entities that operate in a line of business similar to our own. Accordingly, they may have obligations to investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of us or our stockholders. We generally expect to invest between $5 million and $50 million in each of our portfolio companies, although this investment size may vary proportionately as the size of our capital base changes and market conditions warrant, and accrue interest at fixed or variable rates. We expect that our investment portfolio will be diversified among a large number of investments with few investments, if any, exceeding 5% of the total portfolio. As of March 31, 2015, our debt investments had stated interest rates of between 4.00% and 15.00% and maturity dates of between 16 and 121 months. In addition, our total portfolio had a weighted
average yield on debt investments of approximately 7.7%. Our loans may carry a provision for deferral of some or all of the interest payments and amendment fees, which will be added to the principal amount of the loan. This form of deferred income is referred to as payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest or other income and, when earned, is recorded as interest or other income and an increase in the principal amount of the loan. For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we recognized approximately $0.2 million from PIK interest income associated with our investments in Unitek Global Solutions, Inc., Merrill Communications, LLC and RBS Holding Company compared to PIK
interest of approximately $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. In the event we recognize deferred loan interest income in excess of our available capital as a result of our receipt of PIK income, we may be required to liquidate assets in order to pay a portion of the incentive fee due to TICC Management.
 49    TABLE OF CONTENTS We have historically borrowed funds to make investments and may continue to borrow funds to make investments. As a result, we are exposed to the risks of leverage, which may be considered a speculative investment technique. Borrowings, also known as leverage, magnify the potential for gain and loss on amounts invested and therefore increase the risks associated with investing in our securities. In addition, the costs associated with our borrowings, including any increase in the management fee payable to TICC Management, will be borne by our common stockholders. On August 23, 2012, we completed a $160.0 million debt securitization financing. On February 25, 2013 and on May 28, 2013, we issued an aggregate of $120.0 million of additional secured notes and an aggregate of $40.0 million of subordinated notes in connection with this transaction. On September 26, 2012, we completed a private placement of 5-year unsecured 7.50% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2017 (the Convertible Notes). A total of $105.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes were issued at the closing. An additional $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes were
issued on October 22, 2012 pursuant to the exercise of the initial purchasers option to purchase additional Convertible Notes. On October 27, 2014, TICC Funding, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a revolving credit facility (the Facility) with Citibank, N.A. Subject to certain exceptions, pricing under the Facility is based on the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) for an interest period equal to three months plus a spread of 1.50% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement governing the Facility, TICC Funding has borrowed, on a revolving basis, the maximum aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000. The revolving basis period will end on October 27, 2016 (Reinvestment Period), subject to certain exceptions. Post Reinvestment Period, the Facility has a mandatory amortization schedule such that twenty-five percent (25.0%) and fifty percent (50.0%) of the principal amount
outstanding as of October 27, 2016 will be due and payable, on January 18, 2017 and April 18, 2017, respectively, and the remaining principal amount outstanding and accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on October 27, 2017. On August 10, 2011, we completed a $225.0 million debt securitization financing transaction; the Class A notes issued by this securitization were fully redeemed on October 27, 2014 using a portion of the borrowings under the Facility. The secured notes previously issued under TICC CLO LLC were based on LIBOR for an interest period of three months plus a spread of 2.25% per annum. For more information about these transactions, see  Liquidity and Capital Resources  Borrowings. In addition, as a BDC under the 1940 Act, we are required to make available significant managerial assistance, for which we may receive fees, to our portfolio companies. These fees would be generally non-recurring, however in some instances they may have a recurring component. We have received no fee income for managerial assistance to date. Prior to making an investment, we may enter into a non-binding term sheet with the potential portfolio company. These term sheets are generally subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to the satisfactory completion of our due diligence investigations of the companys business and legal documentation for the loan. To the extent possible, we will generally seek to invest in loans that are collateralized by a security interest in the borrowers assets or guaranteed by a principal to the transaction. Interest payments, if not deferred, are normally payable quarterly with most debt investments having scheduled principal payments on a monthly or quarterly basis. When we receive a warrant to purchase stock in a portfolio company, the warrant will typically have a nominal strike price, and will entitle us to purchase a modest percentage of the borrowers stock. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we closed approximately $59.6 million in portfolio investments, including additional investments of approximately $21.1 million in existing portfolio companies and approximately $38.5 million in new portfolio companies. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we recognized a total of $52.6 million from repayments on debt investments, and we recognized approximately $17.6 million from the sale of portfolio investments. We realized net losses on investments during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 in the amount of approximately $6.7 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we had
net unrealized appreciation of approximately $15.2 million.
 50    TABLE OF CONTENTS CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified our investment valuation policy as a critical accounting policy. Investment Valuation We fair value our investment portfolio in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure. The most significant estimates made in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. We believe that there is no single definitive method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied
valuation process for the types of investments we make. ASC 820-10 clarified the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active
markets; Level 2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. We consider the attributes of current market conditions on an on-going basis and have determined that due to the general illiquidity of the market for its investment portfolio, whereby little or no market data exists, almost all of our investments are based upon Level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2015. Our Board of Directors determines the value of its investment portfolio each quarter. In connection with that determination, members of TICC Managements portfolio management team prepare a quarterly analysis of each portfolio investment using the most recent portfolio company financial statements, forecasts and other relevant financial and operational information. Since March 2004, we have engaged third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain of its syndicated loans and bilateral investments, including related equity investments, although our Board of Directors ultimately determines the appropriate
valuation of each such investment. Changes in fair value, as described above, are recorded in the statement of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Syndicated Loans In accordance with ASC 820-10-35, our valuation procedures specifically provide for the review of indicative quotes supplied by the large agent banks that make a market for each security. However, the marketplace from which we obtain indicative bid quotes for purposes of determining the fair value of our syndicated loan investments has shown attributes of illiquidity as described by ASC-820-10-35. Due to limited market liquidity in the syndicated loan market, we believe that the non-binding indicative bids received from agent banks for certain syndicated investments that we own may not be determinative of their fair value and
therefore alternative valuation procedures may need to be undertaken. As a result, we have engaged third-party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain syndicated investments that we own. In addition, TICC Management prepares an analysis of each syndicated loan, financial summary, covenant compliance review, recent trading activity in the security, if known, and other business developments related to the portfolio company. All available information, including non-binding indicative bids which may not be determinative of fair value, is presented to the Valuation Committee to consider in its determination of fair value. In some instances, there may be limited trading activity in a security even though the market for the security is considered not active. In such cases the Valuation Committee will consider the number of trades, the size and timing of each trade, and other circumstances around such trades, to the extent such information is available,
 51    TABLE OF CONTENTS in its determination of fair value. The Valuation Committee will evaluate the impact of such additional information, and factor it into its consideration of the fair value that is indicated by the analysis provided by third-party valuation firms, if any. Collateralized Loan Obligations  Debt and Equity During the past several years, we have acquired a number of debt and equity positions in CLO investment vehicles and more recently CLO warehouse investments. These investments are special purpose financing vehicles. In valuing such investments, we consider the operating metrics of the specific investment vehicle, including compliance with collateralization tests, defaulted and restructured securities, and payment defaults, if any. In addition, we consider the indicative prices provided by a recognized industry pricing service as a primary source, and the implied yield of such marks, supplemented by actual trades executed in
the market at or around period-end, as well as the indicative prices provided by the broker who arranges transactions in such investment vehicles. We also consider those instances in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require a downward adjustment to the indicative price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. Additional factors include any available information on other relevant transactions including firm bids and offers in the market and information resulting from bids-wanted-in-competition. TICC Management or the Valuation Committee may request an additional analysis by a third-party firm to assist in the valuation process of CLO investment vehicles. All information is presented to our Board of Directors for its determination of fair value of these investments. Bilateral Investments (Including Equity) Bilateral investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued by an independent pricing agent or market maker. If such market quotations are not readily available, under the valuation procedures approved by our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Valuation Committee, a third-party valuation firm will prepare valuations for each of our bilateral investments that, when combined with all other investments in the same portfolio company, (i) have a value as of the previous quarter of greater than or equal to 2.5% of its total assets as of the previous quarter, and (ii) have a value as of the
current quarter of greater than or equal to 2.5% of its total assets as of the previous quarter, after taking into account any repayment of principal during the current quarter. In addition, in those instances where a third-party valuation is prepared for a portfolio investment which meets the parameters noted in (i) and (ii) above, the frequency of those third-party valuations is based upon the grade assigned to each such security under its credit grading system as follows: Grade 1, at least annually; Grade 2, at least semi-annually; Grades 3, 4, and 5, at least quarterly. Bilateral investments which do not meet the parameters in (i) and (ii) above are not required to have a third-party valuation and, in those instances, a valuation analysis will be prepared by TICC Management. TICC Management also retains the authority to seek, on our behalf, additional third party valuations with respect to both our bilateral portfolio securities and our syndicated loan investments. Our Board of
Directors retains ultimate authority as to the third-party review cycle as well as the appropriate valuation of each investment. Our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820-10 at March 31, 2015, were as follows:  ($ in millions)

 Significant Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Investments The following tables provide quantitative information about our Level 3 fair value measurements as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Our valuation policy, as described above, establishes parameters for the sources and types of valuation analysis, as well as the methodologies and inputs that we use in determining fair value. If the Valuation Committee or TICC Management determines that additional techniques, sources or inputs are appropriate or necessary in a given situation, such additional work will be undertaken. The tables, therefore, are not all-inclusive, but provide information on the significant
Level 3 inputs that are pertinent to our fair value measurements. The weighted average calculations in the table below are based on principal balances for all debt related calculations and CLO equity.  ($ in millions)

          We generally use prices provided by an independent pricing service, or broker or agent bank non-binding indicative bid prices (NBIB) on or near the valuation date as the primary basis for the fair value determinations for syndicated notes, and CLO debt and equity investments, which may be adjusted for pending equity distributions as of valuation date. These bid prices are non-binding, and may not be determinative of fair value. Each bid price is evaluated by the Valuation Committee in conjunction with additional information compiled by TICC Management, including financial performance, recent business developments, and, in the case of CLO debt and equity investments, performance and covenant compliance information as provided by the independent trustee.

          EBITDA, or earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, is an unobservable input which is generally based on most recently available twelve month financial statements provided by the portfolio company. Market multiples, also an unobservable input, represent an estimation of where market participants might value an enterprise based upon information available for comparable companies in the market. (3)

          Discount rate represents the rate at which future cash flows are discounted to calculate a present value, reflecting market assumptions for risk. (4)

          The calculation of weighted average for a range of values, for multiple investments within a given asset category, is not considered to provide a meaningful representation (ncm). (5)

          We will calculate the fair value of certain CLO equity investments based upon the net present value of expected contractual payment streams discounted using estimated market yields for the equity tranche of the respective CLO vehicle. We will also consider those investments in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require an adjustment to the transaction price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. (6)

          Prices provided by independent pricing services are evaluated in conjunction with actual trades and payoffs and, in certain cases, the value represented by actual trades or payoffs may be more representative of fair value as determined by the Valuation Committee. (7)

          For our bilateral debt investments and equity investments, third-party valuation firms evaluate the financial and operational information of the portfolio companies that we provide to them, as well as independent market and industry information that they consider appropriate in forming an opinion as to the fair value of our securities. In those instances where the carrying value and/or internal credit rating of the investment does not require the use of a third-party valuation firm, a valuation is prepared by TICC Management, which may include liquidation analysis or which may utilize a subsequent transaction to provide an indication of fair value. (8)

          Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments. Significant increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.  ($ in millions)

These bid prices are non-binding, and may not be determinative of fair value. Each bid price is evaluated by the Valuation Committee in conjunction with additional information compiled by TICC Management, including financial performance, recent business developments, and, in the case of CLO debt and equity investments, performance and covenant compliance information as provided by the independent trustee. (2)

          EBITDA, or earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, is an unobservable input which is generally based on most recently available twelve month financial statements provided by the portfolio company. Market multiples, also an unobservable input, represent an estimation of where market participants might value an enterprise based upon information available for comparable companies in the market. (3)

          Discount rate represents the rate at which future cash flows are discounted to calculate a present value, reflecting market assumptions for risk. (4)

          The calculation of weighted average for a range of values, for multiple investments within a given asset category, is not considered to provide a meaningful representation (ncm). (5)

          We will calculate the fair value of certain CLO equity investments based upon the net present value of expected contractual payment streams discounted using estimated market yields for the equity tranche of the respective CLO vehicle. TICC will also consider those investments in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require an adjustment to the transaction price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. (6)

          Prices provided by independent pricing services are evaluated in conjunction with actual trades and payoffs and, in certain cases, the value represented by actual trades or payoffs may be more representative of fair value as determined by the Valuation Committee. (7)

          For our bilateral debt investments and equity investments, third-party valuation firms evaluate the financial and operational information of the portfolio companies that we provide to them, as well as independent market and industry information that they consider appropriate in forming an opinion as to the fair value of our securities. In those instances where the carrying value and/or internal credit rating of the investment does not require the use of a third-party valuation firm, a valuation is prepared by TICC Management, which may include liquidation analysis or which may utilize a subsequent transaction to provide an indication of fair value. (8)

          Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments. Significant increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, At Fair Value The following table presents the carrying value and fair value of our financial liabilities disclosed, but not carried, at fair value as of March 31, 2015 and the level of each financial liability within the fair value hierarchy:  ($ in thousands)

 56    TABLE OF CONTENTS Revenue Recognition Interest Income Recognition Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis using the contractual rate applicable to each debt investment and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. We generally restore non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Companys judgement, are likely to
remain current. As of March 31, 2015, we had no non-accrual assets held in its portfolio. As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of TICCs non-accrual assets was approximately $3.5 million, which comprised 0.4% of the total fair value of its portfolio and the cost of TICCs non-accrual assets was approximately $9.4 million, which comprised approximately 1.0% of the total cost of its portfolio. Income from Securitization Vehicles and Equity Investments Income from investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles (typically income notes or subordinated notes) is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon an estimation of an effective yield to maturity utilizing assumed cash flows, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The Company monitors the expected residual payments, and effective yield is reviewed quarterly and adjusted as appropriate. Accordingly, investment
income recognized on CLO equity securities in the GAAP statement of operations differs from both the tax-basis investment income and from the cash distributions actually received by the Company during the period. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified a non-material error in its accounting for income from CLO equity investments. The Company had recorded income from its CLO equity investments using the dividend recognition model as described in ASC 946-320; specifically, dividends were recognized on the applicable record date, subject to estimation and collectability, with a reduction to cost basis in those instances where the Company believed that a return of capital had occurred. The Company has determined that the appropriate method for recording investment income on CLO equity investments is the effective yield
method as described in ASC 325-40. This method requires the calculation of an effective yield to expected maturity based upon an estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows, including recurring cash flows as well as future principal repayments; the difference between the actual cash received (and record date distributions to be received) and the effective yield income calculation is an adjustment to cost. The effective yield is reviewed quarterly and adjusted as appropriate. The difference between the two methods resulted in an income reclassification error which would generally have resulted in a decrease in total investment income with a corresponding and offsetting increase to net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and net realized gains/losses on investments. The Company quantified this error and assessed it in accordance with the guidance provided in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. Based on this assessment, the Company
concluded that the error in income classification did not have a material impact on the Companys previously filed consolidated financial statements. Payment in Kind Interest We have investments in our portfolio which contain a contractual payment-in-kind (PIK) provision. PIK interest computed at the contractual rate is added to the principal balance of the investment, is accrued into income and reflected as receivable up to the capitalization date. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. PIK investments on non-accrual status are
 57    TABLE OF CONTENTS restored to accrual status if the Company believes that PIK is expected to be realized. To maintain our status as a RIC, this income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though we have not collected any cash. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 we recorded PIK income of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. In addition, we recorded discount income of approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing the amortization of the discount attributed to certain debt securities purchased by us, including original issue discount (OID) and market discount. Other Income Other income includes distributions from fee letters, closing or origination fees, and success fees associated with portfolio investments. Distributions from fee letters are an enhancement to the return on a CLO equity investment and are based upon a percentage of the collateral managers fees, and are recorded as other income when earned. Closing or origination fees, if any, are normally paid at closing of an investment, are fully earned and non-refundable, and generally are non-recurring. The Company may also earn success fees associated with its investments in certain securitization vehicles or CLO warehouse
facilities, which are contingent upon a take-out of the warehouse by a permanent CLO structure; such fees are earned and recognized when the take-out is completed. Recently Issued Accounting Standards See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the impact on our consolidated financial statements. PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY The total fair value of our investment portfolio was approximately $991.2 million and $984.2 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The increase in investments during the three month period was due primarily to purchases of investments of approximately $59.6 million and unrealized appreciation on our investment portfolio of approximately $15.2 million, partially offset by debt repayments and sales of securities totaling approximately $70.2 million. In certain instances, we receive payments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances and sales of portfolio investments. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments may fluctuate significantly from period to period. For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we recognized proceeds of approximately $17.6 million largely from the aggregate proceeds from the sale of our CLO debt and equity investment in Carlyle Global Market Strategies CLO ($6.6 million) and aggregate proceeds from the sale of several debt
investments ($11.0 million), whereas, for the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized proceeds of approximately $127.5 million from the sales of securities. Also, during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we had repayments and amortization payments of approximately $52.6 million, whereas, for the year ended December 31, 2014, we had repayments and amortization payments of approximately $311.9 million. As of March 31, 2015, we had investments in debt securities of, or loans to, 56 portfolio companies, with a fair value of approximately $702.2 million, and equity investments of approximately $289.0 million. These debt investments included approximately $0.2 million in PIK interest, which, as described in Overview above, is added to the carrying value of our investments, reduced by repayments of principal. As of December 31, 2014, we had investments in debt securities of, or loans to, 57 portfolio companies, with a fair value of approximately $714.7 million, and equity investments of approximately $269.5 million. These debt investments included approximately $1.2 million in accrued PIK interest.

 We expect that a portion of our investments will be in the grades 3, 4 or 5 categories from time to time, and, as such, we will be required to work with troubled portfolio companies to improve their business and protect our investment. The number and amount of investments included in grades 3, 4 or 5 may fluctuate from period to period. Further discussion regarding the other investments which experienced significant unrealized depreciation is presented in Results of Operations.
 62    TABLE OF CONTENTS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Set forth below is a comparison of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to the three months ended March 31, 2014. Investment Income As of March 31, 2015, our debt investments had stated interest rates of between 4.00% and 15.00% and maturity dates of between 16 and 121 months. In addition, our total portfolio had a weighted average yield on debt investments of approximately 7.7%, compared with 8.4% as of March 31, 2014. The reduction in the weighted average yield on our debt portfolio over the past year is primarily a result of the investment restrictions of the securitization vehicles that we have sponsored, which require us to generally invest in higher-rated and/or larger corporate loans which carry correspondingly lower yields, as well as the
refinancing and repricing of many of those loans at lower rates due to current market conditions. Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $21.7 million compared to approximately $28.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This decrease was due to a reduction of income recognized on the CLO equity investments in our portfolio. The total principal value of income producing debt investments as of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was approximately $716.0 million and $680.7 million, respectively. The following tables set forth the components of investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively:  Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

          During the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified a non-material error in its accounting policy for revenue recognition  refer to Note 3. Change in Accounting for Collateralized Loan Obligation Equity Investment Income in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
 63    TABLE OF CONTENTS Operating Expenses Total expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were approximately $12.3 million, which includes the net investment income incentive fee reversal of approximately $2.4 million, representing the cumulative overstatement of incentive fees resulting from the identification and correction of a non-material error in our accounting policy for revenue recognition  refer to Note 3. Change in Accounting for Collateralized Loan Obligation Equity Investment Income in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. TICC Management repaid in full to TICC, on April 30, 2015, the portion of its previously
paid net investment income incentive fees attributable to the overstated amounts. Expenses before incentive fees, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, were approximately $11.5 million. This amount consisted of investment advisory fees, interest expense and other debt financing expenses, professional fees, compensation expense, and general and administrative expenses. Expenses before incentive fees increased approximately $0.1 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2014, attributable to higher investment advisory fees (consisting of the base management fee) as well as increased compensation expense, partially offset by lower professional fees. Expenses before incentive fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 were approximately $11.4 million. The investment advisory base fee for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $5.0 million, representing the base fee as provided for in the Investment Advisory Agreement. The investment advisory fee in the comparable period in 2014 was also approximately $5.0 million as the weighted average gross assets for the respective quarters remained essentially unchanged. At each of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, approximately $5.3 million and $6.2 million of investment advisory fees remained payable to TICC Management, including the net investment income incentive fee discussed below. Interest expense and other debt financing expenses for the first quarter of 2015 was approximately $4.9 million, which was directly related to our debt securitization financing transactions, Convertible Notes and Facility, compared with interest expense of approximately $4.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The aggregate accrued interest payable on the notes of TICC CLO 2012-1 LLC at March 31, 2015 was approximately $652,000. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, the aggregate amortization of discount on the notes issued by TICC CLO 2012-1 LLC was approximately $109,000 and the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs was approximately $85,000. The accrued interest payable on the Convertible Notes at March 31, 2015 was approximately $3.6 million. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, the amortization of deferred issuance costs was approximately $153,000. The aggregate accrued interest
payable on the Facility at March 31, 2015 was approximately $658,000. Additionally, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs was approximately $115,000.

 Professional fees, consisting of legal, valuation, audit and tax fees, were approximately $606,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to approximately $730,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. This increase was primarily the result of the timing of certain expenses. Compensation expenses were approximately $480,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to approximately $415,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, reflecting the allocation of compensation expenses for the services of our chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, controller and senior accountants, and other administrative support personnel. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, approximately $242,000 and $0 of compensation expenses remained payable. General and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of directors fees, insurance, listing fees, transfer agent and custodian fees, office supplies, facilities costs and other expenses, were approximately $455,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to approximately $393,000 for the same period in 2014. Office supplies, facilities costs and other expenses are allocated to us under the terms of the Administration Agreement. Incentive Fees The net investment income incentive fee for the first quarter of 2015 resulted in a credit of approximately $2.1 million which was composed of a fee reversal of approximately $2.4 million, representing the cumulative overstatement of fees from 2009 through 2014 resulting from the identification and correction of a non-material error in our accounting policy for revenue recognition  refer to Note 3. Change in Accounting for Collateralized Loan Obligation Equity Investment Income in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, partially offset by approximately $0.3 million representing the net
investment income incentive fee earned for the three months ended March 31, 2015. TICC Management repaid in full to TICC, on April 30, 2015, the portion of its previously paid net investment income incentive fees attributable to the overstated amounts. The net investment income incentive fee recorded for the first quarter of 2014 was approximately $1.7 million. The net investment income incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter subject to a hurdle rate which is determined as of December 31 of the preceding year. For this purpose, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the calendar quarter minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement with BDC Partners, and any interest expense and dividends paid
on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee).
 65    TABLE OF CONTENTS The capital gains incentive fee expense, as reported under generally accepted accounting principles, is calculated on the basis of net realized and unrealized gains and losses at the end of each period. The expense related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to our investment adviser in the event of a complete liquidation of our portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement on such date. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, no accrual was required as a result of the
impact of net unrealized depreciation and net realized losses on our portfolio for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The capital gains incentive fee expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 resulted in an accrual reversal of approximately $2.2 million as a result of net unrealized depreciation and net realized losses on our portfolio for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The amount of the capital gains incentive fee which will actually be payable is determined in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and is calculated as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement). The terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement state that the capital gains incentive fee calculation is based on net realized gains, if any, offset by gross unrealized depreciation for the calendar year. No effect is given to gross unrealized appreciation in this calculation. For the year ended December 31, 2014, such an accrual was not required under the
terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Realized and Unrealized Gains/Losses on Investments For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we recorded net realized losses on investments of approximately $6.7 million, which represents the losses from the restructuring of our debt investment in Unitek Global Services, Inc. (approximately $4.3 million) and from the repayment of our debt and equity investment in Nextag, Inc. (approximately $2.5 million). Based upon the fair value determinations made in good faith by the Board of Directors, during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we had net unrealized appreciation of approximately $15.2 million, composed of $11.4 million in gross unrealized appreciation, $4.0 million in gross unrealized depreciation and approximately $7.8 million relating to the reversal of prior period net unrealized depreciation as investments were realized. This includes net unrealized appreciation of approximately $10.3 million as a result of reductions to the cost value of our CLO equity investments under the effective yield accounting methodology,
whereby the cost value of the respective investments are reduced by the excess of actual cash received (and record date distributions to be received) over the calculated income using the effective yield. The most significant changes in net unrealized appreciation and depreciation during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were as follows (in millions):  Portfolio Company

 66    TABLE OF CONTENTS For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recorded net realized losses on investments of approximately $0.9 million, which represents the loss on the sale of our debt investment in Mmodal, Inc. of approximately $2.0 million partially offset by the net realized gains from the sale and repayment of several other of our debt investments which totaled approximately $1.1 million. Based upon the fair value determinations made in good faith by the Board of Directors, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we had net unrealized depreciation of approximately $3.6 million, comprised of $7.9 million in gross unrealized appreciation, $11.4 million in gross unrealized depreciation and approximately $0.1 million relating to the reversal of prior period net unrealized appreciation as investments were realized. The most significant changes in net unrealized appreciation and depreciation during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 were as follows (in millions):  Portfolio Company

 Please see  Portfolio Grading for more information. Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Net Investment Income Net investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $12.3 million and $17.8 million, respectively. The decrease was due to a net reduction of income recognized on the CLO equity investments in our portfolio, as a result of the effective yield methodology, partially offset by the impact of the net investment income incentive fee reversal of approximately $2.4 million. Based on weighted-average shares outstanding of 60,017,042 (basic) and 70,050,194 (diluted), the net increase in net assets resulting from net investment income per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $0.21 (basic) and $0.20 (diluted), compared to approximately $0.33 per share (basic) and $0.30 (diluted) for the same period in 2014. Including the CLO equity impact of the full amount of cash we received or were entitled to receive and excluding the impact of the accrued capital gains incentive fee, the net increase in the net assets resulting from core net investment income per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 would have been $0.38 (basic) and $0.35 (diluted), compared to $0.29 (basic) and $0.27 (diluted) for the same period in 2014. Please see  Supplemental Information Regarding Core Net Investment Income and Core Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations below for more information. Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations We had a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $20.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to a net increase of approximately $13.3 million for the comparable period in 2014. This increase was due in part to greater unrealized appreciation (prior to the effect of cost value reductions resulting from the effective yield accounting method for our CLO equity investments) and lower net investment income incentive fees (prior to the impact of the net investment income incentive fee reversal of approximately $2.4 million). These increases were partially offset by increased realized
losses.
 67    TABLE OF CONTENTS Based on weighted-average shares outstanding of 60,017,042 (basic) and 70,050,194 (diluted), the net increase in net assets resulting from operations per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $0.35 (basic) and approximately $0.32 (diluted), compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations per share of approximately $0.24 (basic) and $0.23 (diluted) for the same period in 2014. Including the CLO equity impact of the full amount of cash we received or were entitled to receive and excluding the impact of the accrued capital gains incentive fee, our core net increase in net assets resulting from operations per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 would have remained at $0.35 (basic) and $0.32 (diluted), compared to $0.20 (basic and diluted) for the same period in 2014. Please see  Supplemental Information Regarding Core Net Investment Income and Core Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations below for more information. Supplemental Information Regarding Core Net Investment Income and Core Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to core net investment income and its ratio to net assets, which are nonGAAP measures. These measures are provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income and net increase in net assets resulting from operations. Our non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Core net investment income represents net investment income adjusted for additional taxable income on our CLO equity investments and also excludes our capital gains incentive fee. Core net increase
in net assets resulting from operations represents net increase in net assets resulting from operations excluding the capital gains incentive fee (there would not have been any change to the net increase in net assets resulting from operations resulting from our CLO equity investments as there is an offsetting change in unrealized appreciation equal to the change in net investment income). Income from investments in the equity class securities of CLO equity vehicles, for generally accepted accounting purposes, is recorded using the effective interest method. This method requires an estimate of future cash flows, including recurring cash flows as well as future principal payments, compared to the cost resulting in an effective yield for the investment; the difference between the actual cash received or distributions entitled to receive and the effective yield calculation is an adjustment to cost. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity securities in the GAAP statement of operations
differs from both the taxbasis investment income and from the cash distributions actually received by us during the period, (referred to below as CLO equity additional estimated taxable income). As the capital gains incentive fee, for generally accepted accounting purposes, is based on the hypothetical liquidation of the entire portfolio (and as any capital gains incentive fee may be non-recurring), such fees are excluded when calculating core net investment income. We believe that core net investment income and core net increase in net assets resulting from operations are useful indicators of performance during this period. Further, as the RIC requirements are to distribute taxable earnings and as capital gains incentive fees may not be fully currently tax deductible, the core net investment income provides a better indication of estimated taxable income for the year-to-date.

 69    TABLE OF CONTENTS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the three months ended March 31, 2015, cash and cash equivalents decreased from approximately $20.5 million at the beginning of the period to approximately $16.0 million at the end of the period. Net cash provided by operating activities for the period, consisting primarily of the items described in  Results of Operations, was approximately $19.5 million, largely reflecting proceeds from principal repayments and sales of investments of approximately $58.5 million partially offset by purchases of new investments of approximately $37.4 million. Net cash used by investing activities of approximately
$5.4 million reflects the change in restricted cash in the debt securitization entity. During the period, net cash used by financing activities was approximately $18.6 million, reflecting the distribution of dividends and repurchase of common stock. Contractual Obligations We have certain obligations with respect to the investment advisory and administration services we receive. See  Overview. We incurred approximately $5.0 million for investment advisory services, excluding pre-incentive net investment income incentive fees and approximately $0.5 million for administrative services for the three months ended March 31, 2015. A summary of our significant contractual payment obligations is as follows as of March 31, 2015:  Contractual obligations

 See also Note 7. Borrowings in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices. Share Repurchase Program On December 18, 2014, our board of directors authorized a repurchase program to be in place until the earlier of June 30, 2015 or until $50 million of our outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased. Under the repurchase program, we may, but we are not obligated to, repurchase our outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time provided that we comply with the prohibitions under our Insider Trading Policies and Procedures and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including certain price, market volume and timing constraints. In addition, any
repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the 1940 Act. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we repurchased 315,783 shares at the weighted average price of approximately $7.56 per share, inclusive of commissions. This represents a discount of approximately 13.3% of the net asset value per share at March 31, 2015. The total dollar amount of shares repurchased in this period is approximately $2.4 million, leaving a maximum of approximately $46.4 million available for future program purchases. Borrowings In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, the Company is only allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% immediately after such borrowing. As of March 31, 2015, the Companys asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 203%. The following are the Companys outstanding principal amounts, carrying values and fair values of the Companys borrowings as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Fair values of our notes payable are based upon the bid price provided by the placement agent at the measurement date, if available:

          TICC Funding LLC revolving credit facility fair value represents the par amount of the debt obligation. The weighted average stated interest rate and weighted average maturity on all our debt outstanding as of March 31, 2015 were 3.56% and 5.4 years, respectively, and as of December 31, 2014 were 3.54% and 5.6 years, respectively. Debt Securitization Notes Payable-TICC CLO LLC On August 10, 2011, TICC completed a $225.0 million debt securitization financing transaction. The Class A Notes and the subordinated notes offered in the debt securitization were issued by TICC CLO, a subsidiary of Holdings, which was in turn a direct subsidiary of TICC. The Class A Notes were secured by the assets held by the 2011 Securitization Issuer. The securitization was executed through a private placement of $101.25 million of secured notes rated AAA/Aaa by Standard & Poors Rating Service (S&P) and Moodys Investors Service Inc. (Moodys), respectively, and bearing
interest at the three-month LIBOR plus 2.25%. As of October 26, 2014, Holdings retained all of the subordinated notes, which totaled $123.75 million (the 2011 Subordinated Notes), and retained all the membership interests in the 2011 Securitization Issuer. The notes were sold at a discount to par, and the amount of the discount is being amortized over the term of the notes. On October 27, 2014, in conjunction with the revolving debt credit facility established under TICC Funding, the Company redeemed all of the $101,250,000 Class A secured notes issued by TICC CLO (see discussion on Credit Facility, below).

 Notes Payable  TICC CLO 2012-1 LLC On August 23, 2012, the Company completed a $160 million debt securitization financing transaction, consisting of $120 million in secured notes and $40 million of the 2012 Subordinated Notes. On February 25, 2013 and May 28, 2013, TICC CLO 2012-1 issued additional secured notes totaling an aggregate of $120 million and 2012 Subordinated Notes totaling an aggregate of $40 million, which 2012 Subordinated Notes were purchased by us, under the accordion feature of the debt securitization which allowed, under certain circumstances and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, for an increase in the amount of
secured and subordinated notes. It is not necessary that the Company own all or any of the notes permitted by this feature, which may affect the accounting treatment of the debt securitization financing transaction. As of March 31, 2015 the secured notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer have an aggregate face amount of $240 million and were issued in four classes. The class A-1 notes have a current face amount of $176 million, are rated AAA (sf)/Aaa (sf) by Standard & Poors Ratings Services (S&P) and Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), respectively, and bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.75%. The class B-1 notes have a current face amount of $20 million, are rated AA (sf)/Aa2 (sf) by S&P and Moodys, respectively, and bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 3.50%. The class C-1 notes have a current face amount of $23 million, are rated A (sf)/A2 (sf) by S&P and Moodys, respectively, and
bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 4.75%. The class D-1 notes have a current face amount of $21 million, are rated BBB (sf)/Baa2 (sf) by S&P and Moodys, respectively, and bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 5.75%. TICC presently owns all of the 2012 Subordinated Notes, which totaled $80 million as of March 31, 2015. During a period of up to four years from the closing date, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the 2012 Securitization Issuer to purchase new collateral under our direction in our capacity as collateral manager of the 2012 Securitization Issuer and in accordance with our investment strategy, allowing us to maintain the initial leverage in the securitization for such four-year period. All note classes are scheduled to mature on August 25, 2023. The proceeds of the private placement of the Classes A, B, C, D and 2012 Subordinated Notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer, net of discount and debt issuance costs, were used for investment purposes. As part of the securitization, we entered into a master loan sale agreement with TICC CLO 2012-1 pursuant to which we agreed to sell or contribute certain senior secured and second lien loans (or participation interests therein) to TICC CLO 2012-1, and to purchase or otherwise acquire the 2012 Subordinated Notes. The Classes A, B, C, D and 2012 Subordinated Notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer are the secured obligations of
TICC CLO 2012-1, and an indenture governing the notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer includes customary covenants and events of default. As of March 31, 2015, there were 42 investments in portfolio companies with a total fair value of approximately $314.2 million, collateralizing the secured notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer. The pool of loans in the securitization must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements. The aggregate accrued interest payable on the notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer at March 31, 2015 was approximately $0.7 million. Deferred debt issuance costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with debt offerings. As of March 31, 2015, TICC had a deferred debt issuance balance of
 72    TABLE OF CONTENTS approximately $3.0 million associated with this securitization. Aggregate net discount on the notes of the 2012 Securitization Issuer at the time of issuance totaled approximately $4.9 million. These amounts are being amortized and included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the debt securitization. The following table sets forth the components of interest expense, effective annualized average interest rates and cash paid for interest of the Class A-1, B-1, C-1 and D-1 for the three months ended Months 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively:  TICC CLO 2012-1 LLC

 TICC serves as collateral manager to the 2012 Securitization Issuer under a collateral management agreement. TICC is entitled to a deferred fee for its services as collateral manager. The deferred fee is eliminated in consolidation. Convertible Notes On September 26, 2012, the Company issued $105.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes and an additional $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes was issued on October 22, 2012 pursuant to the exercise of the initial purchasers option to purchase additional Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2013. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of TICCs common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 87.2448 shares of its
common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.46 per share of common stock. The conversion price for the Convertible Notes will be reduced for quarterly cash dividends paid to common shares to the extent that the quarterly dividend exceeds $0.29 cents per share, subject to adjustment. The Convertible Notes mature on November 1, 2017, unless previously converted in accordance with their terms. TICC does not have the right to redeem the Convertible Notes prior to maturity. The aggregate accrued interest payable on the Convertible Notes at March 31, 2015 was approximately $3.6 million. Deferred debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Convertible Notes. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a deferred debt issuance balance of approximately $1.6 million. This amount is being amortized and is included in interest expense in the consolidated
statements of operations over the term of the Convertible Notes.

 In certain circumstances, the Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of TICCs common stock at its initial conversion rate (listed below) subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and the requirements of its indenture, at any time on or prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Company will in certain circumstances increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares.  Convertible NotesConversion premium

 As of March 31, 2015, the principal amount of the Convertible Notes exceeded the value of the underlying shares multiplied by the per share closing price of the Companys common stock. The Convertible Notes are TICCs general, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of TICCs existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of its subordinated indebtedness. As a result, the Convertible Notes will be effectively subordinated to TICCs existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to any existing and future liabilities and other indebtedness of its subsidiaries. Credit Facility On October 27, 2014, TICC Funding, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a revolving credit facility (the Facility) with Citibank, N.A. Subject to certain exceptions, pricing under the Facility is based on the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) for an interest period equal to three months plus a spread of 1.50% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement governing the Facility, TICC Funding has borrowed, on a revolving basis, the maximum aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000. The revolving basis period will end on October 27, 2016
(Reinvestment Period), subject to certain exceptions. Post Reinvestment Period, the Facility has a mandatory amortization schedule such that twenty-five percent (25.0%) and fifty percent (50.0%) of the principal amount outstanding as of October 27, 2016 will be due and payable, on January 18, 2017 and April 18, 2017, respectively, and the remaining principal amount outstanding and accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on October 27, 2017. The Company used part of the proceeds from the Facility to redeem all of the $101.25 million of Class A secured notes issued by TICC CLO on August 10, 2011. The Facility is secured by a pool of loans initially consisting of loans sold by TICC CLO to TICC Funding, loans sold to and contributed by the Company to TICC Funding, and loans purchased by TICC Funding from unaffiliated third parties. The Company may sell and contribute additional loans to TICC Funding from time to time. The Company will act as the collateral manager of the loans owned by TICC Funding, and has retained a residual interest through its ownership of TICC Funding.
 75    TABLE OF CONTENTS As of March 31, 2015, there were 45 investments in portfolio companies with a total fair value of approximately $298.7 million, collateralizing the Facility. The pool of loans in TICC Funding must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements. The aggregate accrued interest payable on the Facility at March 31, 2015 was approximately $0.7 million. Deferred debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the credit facility. As of March 31, 2015, TICC had a deferred debt balance of approximately $0.8 million. This amount is being amortized and included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operation over the term of the credit facility.

 Each of TICC CLO, TICC CLO 2012-1 and TICC Funding, are consolidated subsidiaries of TICC. The Company consolidated the results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements as the subsidiaries are operated solely for investment activities of the Company, and the Company has substantial equity at risk. The creditors of TICC CLO, TICC CLO 2012-1 and TICC Funding have received security interests in the assets owned by TICC CLO, TICC CLO 2012-1 and TICC Funding, respectively, and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of TICC (or any other affiliate of TICC). Distributions In order to qualify as a regulated investment company and to avoid corporate level tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we are required, under Subchapter M of the Code, to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and short-term capital gains to our stockholders on an annual basis. Effective January 1, 2015, we recorded interest from our investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon an estimation of an effective yield to maturity utilizing assumed cash flows, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. We monitor the expected residual payments, and effective yield is determined and updated periodically, as needed. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO
equity securities in the GAAP statement of operations differs from both the tax-basis investment income and from the cash distributions we actually received during the period. CLO entities generally constitute passive foreign investment companies and are subject to complex tax rules; the calculation of taxable income attributed to a CLO equity investment can be dramatically different from the calculation of income for financial reporting purposes. Taxable income is based upon the distributable share of earnings as determined under tax regulations for each CLO equity investment, which may be consistent with the cash flows generated by those investments, while accounting income is currently based upon an effective yield calculation. Our final taxable earnings for the year ending December 31, 2015 will not be known until our tax returns are filed, but our experience has been that cash flows have historically represented a reasonable estimate of taxable earnings. While GAAP
accounting income from our CLO equity class investments for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $8.2 million, we received or were entitled to receive approximately $18.5 in distributions. Our distribution policy is based upon our estimate of our taxable net investment income, which includes actual distributions from our CLO equity class investments, with further consideration given to our realized gains or losses on a taxable basis.

          Distributions were funded from undistributed taxable earnings and profits. Related Parties We have a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following: 

          We have entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with TICC Management. TICC Management is controlled by BDC Partners, its managing member. In addition to BDC Partners, TICC Management is owned by Charles M. Royce, our non-executive Chairman, who holds a minority, non-controlling interest in TICC Management as the non-managing member. BDC Partners, as the managing member of TICC Management, manages the business and internal affairs of TICC Management. In addition, BDC Partners provides us with office facilities and administrative services pursuant to the Administration Agreement. 

          Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal currently serve as Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of Oxford Lane Capital Corp., a non-diversified closed-end management investment company that invests primarily in equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation vehicles, and its investment adviser, Oxford Lane Management, LLC. BDC Partners provides Oxford Lane Capital Corp. with office facilities and administrative services pursuant to an administration agreement and also serves as the managing member of Oxford Lane Management, LLC. In addition, Patrick F. Conroy serves as the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and Corporate Secretary of Oxford Lane Capital Corp. and Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and Treasurer of Oxford Lane Management, LLC. BDC Partners has adopted a written policy with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities between us and Oxford Lane Capital Corp. in view of the potential conflicts of interest raised by the relationships described above.
 77    TABLE OF CONTENTS In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered related party transactions. In order to ensure that we do not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with us, we have implemented certain policies and procedures whereby our executive officers screen each of our transactions for any possible affiliations between the proposed portfolio investment, us, companies controlled by us and our employees and directors. We will not enter into any agreements unless and until we are satisfied that doing so will not raise concerns under the 1940 Act
or, if such concerns exist, we have taken appropriate actions to seek board review and approval or exemptive relief for such transaction. Our Board of Directors reviews these procedures on an annual basis. We have also adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to, among others, our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of our officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Ethics requires that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individuals personal interests and our interests. Pursuant to our Code of Ethics, each employee and director must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict, to our Chief Compliance Officer. Our Audit Committee is charged with
approving any waivers under our Code of Ethics. As required by the NASDAQ Global Select Market corporate governance listing standards, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is also required to review and approve any transactions with related parties (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K). Information concerning related party transactions is included in the consolidated financial statements and related notes, appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On April 27, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.29 per share for the second quarter, payable on June 30, 2015 to shareholders of record as of June 16, 2015. On April 27, 2015, we, as collateral manager, on behalf of TICC CLO, executed the satisfaction and discharge of the underlying indenture of the issuer, TICC CLO.
 78    TABLE OF CONTENTS ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2015, two debt investments in our portfolio were at a fixed rate, and the remaining sixty-seven debt investments were at variable rates, representing approximately $7.0 million and $709.0 million in principal debt, respectively. At March 31, 2015, all of our variable rate investments were income producing. The variable rates are based upon the five-year Treasury note, the Prime rate or LIBOR, and, in the case of our bilateral investments, are generally reset annually, whereas our non-bilateral investments generally reset quarterly.
We expect that future debt investments will generally be made at variable rates. Many of the variable rate investments contain floors. To illustrate the potential impact of a change in the underlying interest rate on our net investment income as it pertains to our debt portfolio, we have assumed a 1% increase in the underlying five-year Treasury note, the Prime rate or LIBOR, and no other change in our portfolio as of March 31, 2015. We have also assumed outstanding variable rate borrowings of $390 million. Under this analysis, net investment income would decrease by $2.3 million on an annualized basis, reflecting the amount of investments in our portfolio which have implied floors that would be unaffected by a 1% change in the underlying interest rate.
However, if the increase in rates was more significant, such as 5%, the net effect on net investment income would be an increase of approximately $9.3 million. To the extent that the rate underlying certain investments, as well as our borrowings, is at an historic low, it is not possible for the underlying rate to decrease by 1% or 5%. If the underlying rate decreased to 0%, it would have a minimal effect on net investment income. Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing interest rate sensitivity, it does not adjust for changes in the credit quality, size and composition of our portfolio, and other business developments, including a change in the level of our borrowings, that could affect the net increase (or decrease) in net assets resulting from operations. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the results under this hypothetical analysis. In addition, to illustrate the impact of a change in the underlying interest rate on our total estimated distributable net investment income as it pertains to our CLO equity investments, we have assumed a 1% increase in the underlying three-month LIBOR, and no other change in our CLO portfolio, or to any of the credit, spread, default rate or other factors, as of March 31, 2015. Under this analysis, the effect on estimated distributable net investment income would be a decrease of approximately $23.5 million on an annualized basis, reflecting the portfolio assets held within these CLO vehicles which have implied floors that
would be unaffected by a 1% change in the underlying interest rate, compared to the debt carried by those CLO vehicles which are at variable rates and which would be affected by a change in three-month LIBOR. If the increase in three-month LIBOR was more significant, such as 5%, the net effect on estimated distributable net investment income would be a decrease of approximately $11.8 million. Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing interest rate sensitivity, it does not adjust for changes in any of the other assumptions that effect the return on CLO equity investments, both positively and negatively (and which could accompany changes to the three-month LIBOR rate), such as default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates and reinvestment rates, that could affect the net increase (or decrease) in net assets resulting from operations. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the results under this
hypothetical analysis. We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates.
 79    TABLE OF CONTENTS ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of March 31, 2015 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures. (b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
 80    TABLE OF CONTENTS PART II  OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. We and our consolidated subsidiaries are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we and our consolidated subsidiaries may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no
material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities We did not engage in unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and we did not issue shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities On December 18, 2014, our board of directors authorized a repurchase program to be in place until the earlier of June 30, 2015 or until $50 million of our outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased. Under the repurchase program, we may, but we are not obligated to, repurchase our outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time provided that we comply with the prohibitions under our Insider Trading Policies and Procedures and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including certain price, market volume and timing constraints. In addition, any
repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we repurchased 315,783 shares at a weighted average price of approximately $7.56 per share, inclusive of commissions. This represents a discount of approximately 13.34% of the net asset value per share at March 31, 2015. The total dollar amount of shares repurchased in this period is approximately $2.4 million, leaving a maximum of approximately $46.4 million available for future program purchases. The following table discloses on a monthly basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the total number of shares repurchased (including the total number of shares repurchased under this program), the weighted average price paid per share, and the maximum number of shares (or approximate dollar value) of shares that may yet be repurchased under the program.
