 This table presents changes in net assets from shareholders'
  distributions on a GAAP basis. See Note 5 for a discussion of the sources of distributions
  paid by the Company.(3)
 Distributions in excess of net investment income represent
  certain expenses, which are not deductible on a tax-basis.  Unearned capital
  gains incentive fees and certain offering expenses reduce GAAP basis net
  investment income, but do not reduce tax basis net investment income. These
  tax-related adjustments represent additional net investment income available
  for distribution for tax purposes.(4)
 During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company realized
  losses of $1,030, which are not currently deductible on a tax-basis.

 (a)
 All of the Company’s investments are issued by eligible U.S.
  portfolio companies, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
  amended, or the 1940 Act, except for investments specifically identified as
  non-qualifying per note (g) below. Except for CĪON / Capitala Senior
  Loan Fund I, LLC, or CCSLF, the Company does not control and is not an
  affiliate of any of the portfolio companies in its investment portfolio. See
  Note 6 for a description of the Company's investment in CCSLF. Unless
  specifically identified, investments do not contain a paid-in-kind, or PIK,
  interest provision.(b)
 The 1, 3, and 6 month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR,
  rates were 0.47%, 0.65%, and 0.92%, respectively, as of June 30, 2016.  The
  actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate
  as of June 30, 2016, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a
  LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to June 30, 2016.(c)
 Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see
  Note 9).(d)
 As discussed in Note 11, on June 30, 2016 and August 4, 2016,
  the Company was committed, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, to
  fund an additional $1,119, $1,111, and $363 to ABG Intermediate Holdings 2
  LLC, Ivy Hill Middle Market Credit Fund VIII, Ltd., and Studio Movie Grill
  Holdings, LLC, respectively.(e)
 The CLO subordinated notes are considered equity positions in
  the CLO vehicles and are not rated. Equity investments are entitled to
  recurring distributions, which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow
  of the payments made by the underlying vehicle's securities less contractual
  payments to debt holders and expenses. The estimated yield indicated is based
  upon a current projection of the amount and timing of these recurring
  distributions and the estimated amount of repayment of principal upon
  termination. Such projections are periodically reviewed and adjusted, and the
  estimated yield may not ultimately be realized.(f)
 Great Lakes CLO 2014-1 Class E Notes, Ivy Hill Middle Market
  Credit Fund VII Class E Notes and NXT Capital CLO 2014-1 Class E Notes were
  rated Ba2 on Moody's credit scale as of June 30, 2016. JFIN CLO 2014 Class E
  Notes were rated BB on S&P's credit scale as of June 30, 2016.(g)
 The investment or a portion thereof is not a qualifying asset
  under the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset
  other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made,
  qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets as
  defined under Section 55 of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2016, 89.5% of the
  Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets. In addition, as
  described in Note 7, the Company calculates its compliance with the
  qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by treating each loan
  underlying the total return swap as either a qualifying asset or
  non-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio
  company. On this basis, 86.9% of the Company’s total assets represented
  qualifying assets as of June 30, 2016.(h)
 Position or portion thereof unsettled as of June 30, 2016.(i)
 Short term investments represent an investment in a fund that
  invests in highly liquid investments with average original maturity dates of
  three months or less.(j)
 7-day effective yield as of June 30, 2016.(k)
 Security or a portion thereof was pledged as collateral
  supporting the amounts outstanding, if any, under the revolving credit
  facility with East West Bank as of June 30, 2016.(l)
 Non-income producing security.(m)
 Represents amortized cost for debt securities and cost for
  equity investments.(n)
 For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the following
  investments contain a PIK interest provision whereby the issuer has either
  the option or the obligation to make interest payments with the issuance of
  additional securities:Interest Rate

 All of the Company’s investments are issued by eligible U.S.
  portfolio companies, as defined in the 1940 Act, except for investments
  specifically identified as non-qualifying per note (g) below. Except for
  CCSLF, the Company does not control and is not an affiliate of any of the
  portfolio companies in its investment portfolio. Unless specifically
  identified, investments do not contain a PIK interest provision.(b)
 The 1 and 3 month LIBOR rates were 0.43% and 0.61%,
  respectively, as of December 31, 2015.  The actual LIBOR rate for each loan
  listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of December 31, 2015, as the
  loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or
  subsequent to December 31, 2015.(c)
 Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see
  Note 9).(d)
 As discussed in Note 11, the Company was committed, upon the
  satisfaction of certain conditions, to fund an additional $1,207, $1,069, and
  $1,128 as of December 31, 2015 and March 11, 2016 to ECI Acquisition
  Holdings, Inc., Studio Movie Grill Holdings, LLC, and ABG Intermediate
  Holdings 2 LLC, respectively.(e)
 The CLO subordinated notes are considered equity positions in
  the CLO vehicles and are not rated. Equity investments are entitled to
  recurring distributions, which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow
  of the payments made by the underlying vehicle's securities less contractual
  payments to debt holders and expenses. The estimated yield indicated is based
  upon a current projection of the amount and timing of these recurring
  distributions and the estimated amount of repayment of principal upon
  termination. Such projections are periodically reviewed and adjusted, and the
  estimated yield may not ultimately be realized.(f)

  assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets
  represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets as defined under Section
  55 of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2015, 90.0% of the Company’s total
  assets represented qualifying assets. In addition, as described in Note 7,
  the Company calculates its compliance with the qualifying asset test on a
  “look through” basis by treating each loan underlying the total return swap
  as either a qualifying asset or non-qualifying asset based on whether the
  obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 87.2% of the

  Forbearance Agreement and Eighth Amendment to Second Lien Credit Agreement,
  which, among other things, modified the interest rate to LIBOR plus 12% and
  specified that all interest shall be paid-in-kind on each interest payment
  date through the earlier of the forbearance period termination or September

CĪON Investment Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(unaudited) June
30, 2016 (in
thousands, except share and per share amounts)
 Note 1. Organization and Principal Business CĪON Investment Corporation, or the
Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of
Maryland on August 9, 2011. On December 17, 2012, the Company successfully
raised gross proceeds from unaffiliated outside investors of at least $2,500,
or the minimum offering requirement, and commenced operations. The Company is
an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company
that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC,
under the 1940 Act. The Company elected to be treated for federal income tax
purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, as defined under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. The Company’s
investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent,
capital appreciation for investors.The Company’s
portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured debt,
including first lien loans, second lien loans and unitranche loans, and, to a
lesser extent, collateralized securities, structured products and other similar
securities, unsecured debt, including corporate bonds and long-term
subordinated loans, referred to as mezzanine loans, and equity of private and
thinly traded U.S. middle-market companies. The Company is
managed by CĪON Investment Management, LLC, or CIM, a registered
investment adviser and an affiliate of the Company. CIM oversees the management
of the Company’s activities and is responsible for making investment decisions
for the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company and CIM have engaged Apollo
Investment Management, L.P., or AIM, a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management,
LLC, or, together with its subsidiaries, Apollo, a leading global alternative
investment manager, to act as the Company’s investment sub-adviser.On December 7, 2015, the board of directors of the
Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested
persons, approved the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreement with AIM
for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2015.  Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for
interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions for Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain
other information, the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with its audited consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and for the year then ended
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016. The consolidated
balance sheet and the consolidated schedule of investments as of
December 31, 2015 are derived from the 2015 audited consolidated financial
statements and include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company does not consolidate its interest in CCSLF. See Note 6 for a
description of the Company’s investment in CCSLF. The Company is
considered an investment company as defined in Accounting Standards Update
Topic 946,Financial Services - Investment Companies, or ASU 946.
Accordingly, the required disclosures as outlined in ASU 946 are included in
the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The
Company evaluates subsequent events through the date that the consolidated
financial statements are issued. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In February 2015, the
Financial Accounting Standard Board, or the FASB, issued ASU 2015-02,Consolidation:
Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, or ASU 2015-02, which amends the
criteria for determining which entities are considered variable interest
entities, or VIEs, amends the criteria for determining if a service provider
possesses a variable interest in a VIE and ends the deferral granted to
investment companies for application of the VIE consolidation model. This
guidance was adopted by the Company during the three months ended March 31,
2016, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements. In addition, no prior-period information was
retrospectively adjusted as a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-02. 11

thousands, except share and per share amounts)
 In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03,Interest - Imputation of Interest:
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, or ASU 2015-03, which
requires that loan costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in
the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt
liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. ASU 2015-03 requires
retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle.  In
August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15,Interest
- Imputation of Interest: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt
Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, or ASU 2015-15,
which allows an entity to continue to present line of credit issuance costs as
an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the
line of credit.This
guidance was adopted by the Company during the three months ended March 31,
2016. As a result, debt
issuance costs of $366 are presented as prepaid expenses and other assets in
the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 as the Company has no
recognized debt liability. In addition, no prior-period information was
retrospectively adjusted as a result of the adoption of this guidance. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07,Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That
Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent),or ASU 2015-07,which removes the requirement
to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair
value is measured using the net asset value per share practical
expedient.  ASU 2015-07 requires retrospective application and represents
a change in accounting principle.  This guidance was adopted by the Company
during the three months ended March 31, 2016, whichdid not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, no prior-period
information was retrospectively adjusted as a result of the adoption of ASU
2015-07. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash
equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original
maturity dates of three months or less. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents
are held principally at one financial institution and at times may exceed
insured limits. The Company periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of this
institution and has not experienced any losses on such deposits. Short Term Investments Short term
investments include an investment in a U.S. Treasury obligations fund, which
seeks to provide current income and daily liquidity by purchasing U.S. Treasury
securities and repurchase agreements that are collateralized by such
securities. The Company had $32,093 and $18,892 of such investments at June 30,
2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which are included in investments, at
fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and on the
consolidated schedules of investments. Offering, Organizational and Other
Pre-Effective Costs Offering
costs include, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertaining to the
preparation of the Company’s registration statements in connection with the
continuous public offerings of the Company’s shares. Certain offering costs
were funded by IIG and its affiliates and there was no liability for these
offering costs to the Company until IIG and its affiliates submitted such costs
for reimbursement. Upon meeting the minimum offering requirement on December
17, 2012, the Company incurred and capitalized offering costs of $1,000 that
were submitted for reimbursement by IIG (see Note 4). These costs were fully
amortized over a twelve month period as an adjustment to capital in excess of
par value. The remaining offering costs funded by IIG and its affiliates were
incurred when IIG and its affiliates submitted such costs for reimbursement
during the year endedDecember
31, 2014. Organizational
costs include, among other things, the cost of organizing the Company as a
Maryland corporation, including the cost of legal services and other fees
pertaining to the organization of the Company. All organizational costs were
funded by IIG and its affiliates and there was no liability for these
organizational costs to the Company until IIG and its affiliates submitted such
costs for reimbursement. The Company incurred these costs when IIG and its affiliates
submitted such costs for reimbursement during the year ended December 31, 2014. 12

  organizational costs and such costs, including reimbursement of costs
  originally incurred by IIG, will not exceed 1.5% of the actual gross proceeds
  raised from the offerings. See Note 4 for actual gross proceeds raised from
  the offerings and the amount of offering and organizational costs that can be
  paid by the Company.(2)
 Of this amount, $1,000 of costs charged directly to equity were

 Income Taxes The Company elected to be treated for
federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify
and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet
certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and distribute
to shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of the Company’s
“investment company taxable income”, which is generally the Company’s net
ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital
gains over realized net long-term capital losses. If the Company continues to qualify
as a RIC and continues to satisfy the annual distribution requirement, the
Company will not have to pay corporate level federal income taxes on any income
that the Company distributes to its shareholders. The Company intends to make
distributions in an amount sufficient to maintain RIC status each year and to
avoid any federal income taxes on income. The Company will also be subject to
nondeductible federal excise taxes if the Company does not distribute at least
98.0% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of capital gains, if any, and any
recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no
federal income taxes.  Book/tax
differences relating to permanent differences are reclassified among the
Company’s capital accounts, as appropriate. Additionally, the tax character of distributions
is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from
GAAP (see Note 5). Uncertainty in Income Taxes The Company
evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the
minimum recognition threshold for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax
liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Recognition of a tax
benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only
when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming
examination by the taxing authorities. The Company recognizes interest and
penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense
in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not have any
uncertain tax positions during the periods presented herein. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal, New
York State, New York City and Maryland income tax jurisdictions for 2012, 2013,
and 2014. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to makeestimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results may materially differ from those estimates.  Valuation of Portfolio Investments The fair value of the Company’s investments
is determined quarterly in good faith by the Company’s board of directors
pursuant to its consistently applied valuation procedures and valuation process
in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosure, or ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value as the
price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchythat prioritizes and ranks the
level of market price observability of inputs used in measuringinvestments at fair value. Inputs used to
measure these fair values are classified into the following hierarchy:  Level 1
 -
 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
  liabilities, accessible by the Company at the measurement date.Level 2
 -
 Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active
  markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
  markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted
  prices.Level 3
 -
 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The inputs used
  in the determination of fair value may require significant management
  judgment or estimation. Such information may be the result of consensus
  pricing information or broker quotes that include a disclaimer that the
  broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The
  non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by the
  disclaimer would result in classification as a Level 3 asset, assuming no
  additional corroborating evidence.

CĪON Investment Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(unaudited) June
30, 2016 (in
thousands, except share and per share amounts)
 Market price observability is affected by a number of factors,
including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the
investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for
which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will
have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of
judgment used in measuring fair value. Based on the observability
of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to
provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value
hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy for each fair value
measurement has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance
of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires
judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The level assigned
to the investment valuations may not be indicative of the risk or liquidity
associated with investing in such investments. Because of the inherent
uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may
differ materially from the value that would be received upon an actual sale of
such investments.In
addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur
over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses that the Company
ultimately realizes on these investments to materially differ from the
valuations currently assigned.  The Company’s
investments, excluding short term investments,consist
primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter
market for institutional investments. CIM attempts to obtain market quotations
from at least two brokers or dealers for each investment (if available,
otherwise from a principal market maker or a primary market dealer or other
independent pricing service). CIM utilizes mid-market pricing to determine fair
value unless a different point within the range is more representative. Because
of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not
publicly reported), the Company believes that these valuation inputs result in
Level 3 classification within the fair value hierarchy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the
reasonable judgment of CIM, the price of any investment held by the Company and
determined in the manner described above does not accurately reflect the fair
value of such investment, CIM will value such investment at a price that
reflects such investment’s fair value and report such change in the valuation
to the board of directors or its designee as soon as practicable. Investments
that carry certain restrictions on sale will typically be valued at a discount
from the public market value of the investment.  Any investments
that are not publicly traded or for which a market price is not otherwise
readily available are valued at a price that reflects its fair value. With
respect to such investments, the investments are reviewed and valued using one
or more of the following types of analyses: i.Market comparable statistics and
public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity, minority ownership and
other factors for companies with similar characteristics. ii.Valuations implied by third-party
investments in the applicable portfolio companies. iii.Discounted cash flow analysis,
including a terminal value or exit multiple.  Determination of
fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, these
notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements refer to the
uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any
change in such valuations, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Below is a description of factors that the Company’s board of directors may
consider when valuing the Company’s equity and debt investments where a market
price is not readily available: ·the size and scope of a portfolio
company and its specific strengths and weaknesses; ·prevailing interest rates for like
securities; ·expected volatility in future
interest rates; ·leverage; ·call features, put features and
other relevant terms of the debt; ·the borrower’s ability to adequately
service its debt; ·the fair market value of the
portfolio company in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt; ·the quality of collateral securing
the Company’s debt investments; ·multiples of earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net
income, revenues or, in some cases, book value or liquidation value; and ·other factors deemed applicable. 15

 All of these factors may be subject to
adjustment based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or
the Company’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA
may take into account compensation to previous owners, or acquisition,
recapitalization, and restructuring expenses or other related or non-recurring
items. The choice of analyses and the weight assigned to such factors may vary
across investments and may change within an investment if events occur that
warrant such a change. The discounted cash
flow model deemed appropriate by CIM is prepared for the applicable investments
and reviewed by the Company’s valuation committee consisting of senior
management. Such models are prepared at least quarterly or on an as needed
basis. The model uses the estimated cash flow projections for the underlying
investments and an appropriate discount rate is determined based on the latest
financial information available for the borrower, prevailing market trends,
comparable analysis and other inputs. The model, key assumptions, inputs, and
results are reviewed by the Company’s valuation committee with final approval
from the board of directors. Consistent with the
Company’s valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of inputs,
including any markets in which the Company’s investments are trading, in
determining fair value. The Company
periodically benchmarks the broker quotes from the brokers or dealers against
the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its investments.
Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of the
Company’s management in purchasing and selling these investments, the Company
believes that these quotes are reliable indicators of fair value. The Company
may also use other methods to determine fair value for securities for which it
cannot obtain market quotations through brokers or dealers, including the use
of an independent valuation firm. The Company’s valuation committee and board
of directors review and approve the valuation determinations made with respect
to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation
process. The value of the total return swap, or TRS,
is primarily based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans
underlying the TRS, as determined by the Company. The loans underlying the TRS
are valued in the same manner as loans owned by the Company. As in all cases,
the level in the fair value hierarchy for each instrument is determined based
on the lowest level of inputs that are significant to the fair value
measurement. The Company has classified the TRS as Level 3 within the fair
value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant inputs. For additional
information on the TRS, see Note 7. Revenue Recognition Securities transactions
are accounted for on the trade date. The Company records interest and dividend
income on an accrual basis beginning on the trade settlement date or the
ex-dividend date, respectively, to the extent that the Company expects to
collect such amounts. Loan origination fees, original issue discounts, and
market discounts/premiums are recorded and such amounts are amortized as
adjustments to interest income over the respective term of the loan using the
effective interest method. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and
debt securities as interest income when it receives such amounts. In addition,
the Company may generate revenue in the form of commitment, structuring or
diligence fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and
possibly consulting fees and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in
connection with investments are recognized when earned. The Company may
have investments in its investment portfolio that contain a PIK interest
provision. PIK interest is accrued as interest income, if the portfolio company
valuation indicates that such PIK interest is collectible and recorded as
interest receivable up to the interest payment date. On the interest payment
dates, the Company will capitalize the accrued interest receivable attributable
to PIK as additional principal due from the borrower. Additional PIK securities
typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, as
the original securities. In order to maintain RIC status, substantially all of
this income must be paid out to shareholders in the form of distributions, even
if the Company has not collected any cash. For additional information on
investments that contain a PIK interest provision, see the consolidated
schedules of investments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Loans and debt securities, including those that are
individually identified as being impaired under Accounting Standards
Codification 310,Receivables, or
ASC 310, are generally placed on non-accrual status immediately if, in the
opinion of management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in
accordance with the terms of the debt agreement, or when principal or interest
is past due 90 days or more. Interest accrued but not collected at the date a
loan or security is placed on non-accrual status is reversedagainst interest income. Interest
income is recognized on non-accrual loans or debt securities only to the extent
received in cash. How­ever, where there is doubt regarding the ultimate
collectibility ofprincipal, cash
receipts, whether designated as principal or interest, are thereafter applied
to reduce the carrying value of the loan or debt security. Loans or securities
are restored to accrual status only when interest and principal payments are
brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. 16

 Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change
in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation Gains
or losses on the sale of investments are calculated by using the
weighted-average method. The Company measures realized gains or losses by the
difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the
weighted-average amortized cost of the investment, without regard to unrealized
appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized
upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or
depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the
reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized
appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized. Derivative Instrument The Company’s only derivative instrument is
the TRS. The Company marks its derivative to market through net change in
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap in the consolidated
statements of operations. For additional information on the TRS, see Note 7.  Capital Gains
Incentive Fee Pursuant
to the terms of the investment advisory agreement the Company entered into with
CIM, the incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments of the
Company’s investment portfolio during operations is determined and payable in
arrears as of the end of each calendar year. Such fee equals 20% of the
Company’s incentive fee capital gains (i.e., the Company’s realized capital
gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each
calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized
capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate amount of any
previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a cumulative basis and to the
extent that all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation
exceed realized capital gains as well as the aggregate realized net capital
gains for which a fee has previously been paid, the Company would not be
required to pay CIM a capital gains incentive fee. On a quarterly basis, the
Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as
if it were due and payable as of the end of such period. CIM
has not taken any incentive fees with respect to the Company’s TRS to date. For
purposes of computing the capital gains incentive fee, CIM will become entitled
to a capital gains incentive fee only upon the termination or disposition of
the TRS, at which point all net gains and losses of the underlying loans
constituting the reference assets of the TRS will be realized. Any net unrealized
gains on the TRS are reflected in total assets on the Company’s consolidated
balance sheets and included in the computation of the base management fee. Any
net unrealized losses on the TRS are reflected in total liabilities on the
Company’s consolidated balance sheets and excluded in the computation of the
base management fee. While the investment advisory agreement
with CIM neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in
the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an
interpretation of the American Institute for Certified Public Accountants, or
AICPA, Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, the Company accrues
capital gains incentive fees on unrealized gains. This accrual reflects the
incentive fees that would be payable to CIM if the Company’s entire investment
portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even
though CIM is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains
unless and until such gains are actually realized. Net Increase in Net Assets per Share Net increase in net
assets per share is calculated based upon the daily weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Distributions Distributions to shareholders are recorded
as of the record date. The amount to be paid as a distribution is determined by
the board of directors on a monthly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any,
are distributed at least annually.  17

  During the six months ended June 30, 2016
and 2015, the Company sold 3,152,599 and 24,598,219 shares, respectively, at an
average price per share of $8.93 and $10.30, respectively.  Since commencing its initial continuous
public offering on July 2, 2012 and through June 30, 2016, the Company sold
106,020,384 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,081,393 at an average
price per share of $10.20. The net proceeds include gross proceeds received
from reinvested shareholder distributions of $64,829, for which the Company
issued 7,106,399 shares of common stock, and gross proceeds paid for shares of
common stock tendered for repurchase of $15,846, for which the Company
repurchased 1,758,036 shares of common stock.  During the period from July 1, 2016 to
August 5, 2016, the Company sold 415,028 shares of common stock pursuant to its
follow-on continuous public offering for gross proceeds of $4,060 at an average
price per share of $9.78. The Company also received gross proceeds of $3,002
from reinvested shareholder distributions, for which the Company issued 336,924
shares of common stock, and paid $3,968 for shares of common stock tendered for
repurchase, for which the Company repurchased 449,816 shares of common stock.  Since commencing its initial continuous
public offering on July 2, 2012 and through August 5, 2016, the Company sold
106,322,520 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,084,487 at an average
price per share of $10.20. The net proceeds include gross proceeds received
from reinvested shareholder distributions of $67,831, for which the Company
issued 7,443,323 shares of common stock, and gross proceeds paid for shares of
common stock tendered for repurchase of $19,814, for which the Company
repurchased 2,207,852 shares of common stock.  To ensure that the offering
price per share, net of sales commissions and dealer manager fees, equaled or
exceeded the net asset value per share on each subscription closing date and
distribution reinvestment date, certain of the Company’s directors increased
the offering price per share of common stock on certain dates. Due to a decline
in the Company’s net asset value per share to an amount more than 2.5% below
the Company’s then-current net offering price, certain of the Company’s
directors decreased the offering price per share of common stock on certain
dates. 18

  Share Repurchase Program  Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, the
Company began offering, and on a quarterly basis thereafter it intends to
continue offering, to repurchase shares on such terms as may be determined by
the Company’s board of directors in its complete and absolute discretion
unless, in the judgment of the independent directors of the Company’s board of
directors, such repurchases would not be in the best interests of the Company’s
shareholders or would violate applicable law.  The Company limits the number of shares to
be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares it can
repurchase with the proceeds it receives from the issuance of shares pursuant
to its fourth amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan. At the discretion
of the Company’s board of directors, it may also use cash on hand, cash
available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of investments as of the
end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. In addition, the Company
limits the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 15% of
the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year,
or 3.75% in each quarter, though the actual number of shares that it offers to
repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company currently
offers to repurchase such shares at a price equal to 90% of the offering price
in effect on each date of repurchase.  On November 2, 2015, the Company amended
the terms of the quarterly share repurchase program, effective as of the
Company’s quarterly repurchase offer for the fourth quarter of 2015, which
commenced in November 2015 and was completed in January 2016. Under the amended
share repurchase program, the Company offered to repurchase shares of common
stock at a price per share of $8.96, which was (i) not less than the net asset
value per share immediately prior to January 4, 2016 and (ii) not more than
2.5% greater than the net asset value per share as of such date.  On January 22, 2016, the Company further
amended the terms of the quarterly share repurchase program, effective as of
the Company’s quarterly repurchase offer for the first quarter of 2016, which
commenced in February 2016 and was completed in April 2016. Under the further
amended share repurchase program, the Company will offer to repurchase shares
of common stock at a price equal to 90% of the public offering price in effect
on each date of repurchase.  Any periodic repurchase offers are subject
in part to the Company’s available cash and compliance with the BDC and RIC
qualification and diversification rules promulgated under the 1940 Act and the Code,
respectively. While the Company conducts quarterly tender offers as described
above, it is not required to do so and may suspend or terminate the share
repurchase program at any time, upon 30 days’ notice. 19

  The Company has entered
into certain agreements with CIM’s affiliate, CĪON Securities, LLC,
formerly known as ICON Securities, LLC, or CĪON Securities, whereby the
Company pays certain fees and reimbursements. CĪON Securities is entitled
to receive a 3% dealer manager fee from gross offering proceeds from the sale
of the Company’s shares. The selling dealers are entitled to receive a sales
commission of up to 7% of gross offering proceeds. Such costs are charged against
capital in excess of par value when incurred. Since commencing its initial continuous
public offering on July 2, 2012 and through August 5, 2016, the Company paid or
accrued sales commissions of $62,119 to the selling dealers and dealer manager
fees of $30,414 to CĪON Securities.  The Company has entered
into an investment advisory agreement with CIM. On December 7, 2015, the board
of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of
directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the investment
advisory agreement for a period of twelve months commencing December 17,
2015. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CIM is paid an annual base
management fee equal to 2.0% of the average value of the Company’s gross
assets, less cash and cash equivalents, and an incentive fee based on the
Company’s performance, as described below. The base management fee is payable
quarterly in arrears and is calculated based on the two most recently completed
calendar quarters. The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part,
which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated
and payable quarterly in arrears based on “pre-incentive fee net investment
income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate,
measured quarterly and expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as
defined in the investment advisory agreement, equal to 1.875% per quarter, or
an annualized rate of 7.5%. The second part of the incentive fee, which is
referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is described in Note 2. Refer
to Note 7 for a discussion of CIM’s entitlement to receive incentive fees and
the Company’s accrual of the incentive fee on capital gains with respect to the
TRS.  The Company accrues the capital gains
incentive fee based on net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation;
however, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the fee payable
to CIM is based on net realized gains and unrealized depreciation and no such
fee is payable with respect to unrealized appreciation unless and until such appreciation
is actually realized.For the three and six months
endedJune 30, 2015, the Company recorded
capital gains incentive fees of($243) and $1,211, respectively, related
to the change in unrealized (deprecation) appreciation. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not record any capital gains
incentive fees. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had no liability for capital
gains incentive fees. 20

 With respect to the TRS, CIM will become entitled to receive a
capital gains incentive fee only upon the termination or disposition of the
TRS, at which point all net gains and losses of the underlying loans
constituting the reference assets of the TRS will be realized. See Note 2 and
Note 7 for an additional discussion of CIM’s entitlement to receive payment of
incentive fees and the Company’s accrual of the incentive fee on capital gains
with respect to the TRS.  The Company entered into
an administration agreement with CIM’s affiliate, ICON Capital, LLC, or ICON
Capital, pursuant to which ICON Capital furnishes the Company with
administrative services including accounting, investor relations and other
administrative services necessary to conduct its day-to-day operations. On
December 7, 2015, the board of directors of the Company, including a
majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the
renewal of the administration agreement for a period of twelve months commencing
December 17, 2015. ICON Capital is reimbursed for administrative expenses it
incurs on the Company’s behalf in performing its obligations, provided that
such reimbursement will be for the lower of ICON Capital’s actual costs or the
amount that the Company would be required to pay for comparable administrative
services in the same geographic location. Such costs will be reasonably
allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or
other reasonable methods. The Company will not reimburse ICON Capital for any
services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation,
utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a
person with a controlling interest in ICON Capital.  Under the terms of the
investment advisory agreement, CIM and certain of its affiliates, which
includes IIG, are entitled to receive reimbursement of up to 1.5% of the gross
proceeds raised until all offering and organizational costs have been
reimbursed. The Company’s payment of offering and organizational costs will not
exceed 1.5% of the actual gross proceeds raised from the offerings (without
giving effect to any potential expense support from IIG and its affiliates). If
the Company sells the maximum number of shares at its latest public offering
price of $9.95 per share, the Company estimates that it may incur up to approximately
$30,274 of expenses. With respect to any reimbursements for offering and
organizational costs, the Company will interpret the 1.5% limit based on actual
gross proceeds raised at the time of such reimbursement.  In
addition, the Company will not issue any of its shares or other securities for
services or for property other than cash or securities except as a dividend or
distribution to its security holders or in connection with a reorganization.  From inception through
December 31, 2012, IIG and its affiliates incurred offering, organizational and
other pre-effective costs of $2,012. Of these costs, $1,812 represented
offering and organizational costs, all of which have been submitted to the
Company for reimbursement. The Company paid $450 in October 2013, $550 in March
2014, $592 in May 2014 and $420 in March 2015.  No additional material
offering, organizational or other pre-effective costs have been incurred by IIG
or its affiliates subsequent to December 31, 2012.  Reinvestment of
shareholder distributions and share repurchases are excluded from the gross
proceeds from the Company’s offerings for purposes of determining the total
amount of offering and organizational costs that can be paid by the Company. As
of June 30, 2016, the Company raised gross offering proceeds of $1,032,410, of
which it can pay up to $15,486 in offering and organizational costs (which
represents 1.5% of the actual gross offering proceeds raised). Through June 30,
2016, the Company paid $8,790 of such costs, leaving an additional $6,696 that
can be paid. As of August 5, 2016, the Company raised gross offering proceeds
of $1,036,470, of which it can pay up to $15,547 in offering and organizational
costs (which represents 1.5% of the actual gross offering proceeds raised).
Through August 5, 2016, the Company paid $8,875 of such costs, leaving an
additional $6,672 that can be paid.  On January 30, 2013, the Company entered
into the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with IIG,
whereby IIG agreed to provide expense support to the Company in an amount that
is sufficient to: (1) ensure that no portion of the Company’s distributions to
shareholders will be paid from its offering proceeds or borrowings, and/or (2)
reduce the Company’s operating expenses until it has achieved economies of
scale sufficient to ensure that it bears a reasonable level of expense in
relation to its investment income.On December 13, 2013 and January 16, 2015, the Company and IIG
amended the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement to extend
the termination date of such agreement from January 30, 2014 to January 30,
2015 and from January 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015, respectively. On December
16, 2015, the Company further amended and restated the expense support and
conditional reimbursement agreement for purposes of including AIM as a party to
the agreement and extending the termination date from December 31, 2015 to
December 31, 2016. Commencing with the quarter beginning January 1, 2016, IIG
and AIM each agrees to provide expense support to the Company for 50% of its
expenses as described above.  For the three and six months ended June 30,
2016 and 2015, the Company did not receive any expense support from IIG or AIM. 21

 Pursuant to the expense support
and conditional reimbursement agreement, the Company will have a conditional
obligation to reimburse IIG for any amounts funded by IIG under such agreement
(i) if expense support amounts funded by IIG exceed operating expenses incurred
during any fiscal quarter, (ii) if the sum of the Company’s net investment
income for tax purposes, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and
other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio
companies (to the extent not included in net investment income or net capital
gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by the Company to
shareholders, and (iii) during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years
of the date on which IIG funded such amount. Pursuant to the second amended and
restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, the Company
will have a conditional obligation to reimburse IIG and AIM for any amounts
funded by IIG and AIM under the same circumstances described above. The
obligation to reimburse IIG and AIM for any expense support provided by IIG and
AIM under such agreement is further conditioned by the following: (i) in the
period in which reimbursement is sought, the ratio of operating expenses to
average net assets, when considering the reimbursement, cannot exceed the ratio
of operating expenses to average net assets, as defined, for the period when
the expense support was provided; (ii) in the period when reimbursement is
sought, the annualized distribution rate cannot fall below the annualized
distribution rate for the period when the expense support was provided; and
(iii) the expense support can only be reimbursed within three years from the
date the expense support was provided.  Recoupment of expense
support will be determined as appropriate to meet the objectives of the second
amended and restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded
obligations to repay expense support from IIG of $548 and $667, respectively. During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company repaid expense
support to IIG of $119 and $599, respectively. During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded obligations to repay expense support from
IIG of $1,592 and $2,429, respectively. During the three and six months ended
June 30, 2015, the Company repaid expense support to IIG of $837.The Company may or may not be requested to reimburse any
remaining expense support in the future.  The Company, AIM, or IIG
may terminate the second amended and restated expense support and conditional
reimbursement agreement at any time. IIG and AIM have indicated that they
expect to continue such expense support until they believe that the Company has
achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that it bears a reasonable
level of expenses in relation to its income. If the Company terminates the
investment advisory agreement with CIM and/or the investment sub-advisory
agreement with AIM, the Company may be required to repay IIG and AIM all
unreimbursed expense support funded by IIG and AIM within three years of the
date of termination. The specific amount of expense support provided by IIG and
AIM, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. There can be no
assurance that the second amended and restated expense support and conditional
reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that IIG and AIM will support
any portion of the Company’s expenses in future quarters.   The table below presents a summary of all
expenses supported by IIG for each of the following three month periods in
which the Company received expense support from IIG and the associated dates

 Operating expenses include all expenses borne by the Company,
  except for offering and organizational costs, base management fees, incentive
  fees, administrative services expenses, other general and administrative
  expenses owed to CIM and its affiliates, and interest expense. For the three
  months ended June 30, 2016, the ratio of operating expense to average net assets
  was 0.11%.(2)
 The Company did not declare any distributions during the three
  months ended December 31, 2012.(3)
 Annualized Distribution Rate equals the annualized rate of
  distributions paid to shareholders based on the amount of the regular cash
  distributions paid immediately prior to the date the expense support payment
  obligation was incurred by IIG. Annualized Distribution Rate does not include
  special cash or stock distributions paid to shareholders. The Annualized
  Distribution Rate is calculated based on the maximum historical offering
  price at each record date.(4)
 As of June 30, 2016, expense support recoupments of $548 were
  payable to IIG.

 As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total liability
payable to CIM and its affiliates was $5,683 and $5,735, respectively, which
primarily related to fees earned by CIM during the three months ended June 30,
2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  Because CIM’s senior management team is
comprised of substantially the same personnel as the senior management team of
the Company’s affiliate, ICON Capital, which is the investment manager to certain
equipment finance funds, or equipment funds, such members of senior management
provide investment advisory and management services to the equipment funds in
addition to the Company. In the event that CIM undertakes to provide investment
advisory services to other clients in the future, it will strive to allocate
investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with the
Company’s investment objective and strategies so that the Company will not be
disadvantaged in relation to any other client of the investment adviser or its
senior management team. However, it is currently possible that some investment
opportunities will be provided to the equipment funds or other clients of CIM
rather than to the Company.  Indemnifications  The investment advisory agreement, the
investment sub-advisory agreement, the administration agreement and the dealer manager
agreement each provide certain indemnifications from the Company to the other
relevant parties to such agreements.  The Company’s maximum exposure under
these agreements is unknown. However, the Company has not experienced claims or
losses pursuant to these agreements and believes the risk of loss related to
such indemnifications to be remote.  Note 5. Distributions  The Company’s board of directors authorizes
and declares on a monthly basis a weekly distribution amount per share of
common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended
June 30, 2016, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions for 52
and 26 record dates, respectively. Declared distributions are paid monthly.  The following table

  On June 14, 2016, the Company’s board of
directors declared four weekly cash distributions of $0.014067 per share, which
were paid on July 27, 2016 to shareholders of record on July 5, July 12, July
19, and July 26, 2016. On July 19, 2016, the Company’s board of directors
declared five weekly cash distributions of $0.014067 per share, payable on
August 31, 2016 to shareholders of record on August 2, August 9, August 16, August
23, and August 30, 2016.  The Company has adopted an “opt in”
distribution reinvestment plan for shareholders. As a result, if the Company
makes a distribution, shareholders will receive distributions in cash unless
they specifically “opt in” to the fourth amended and restated distribution
reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in
additional shares of the Company’s common stock. 23

 On November 2, 2015, the Company further amended and restated its
distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to the third amended and restated
distribution reinvestment plan, or the Third Amended DRIP. The Third Amended
DRIP was effective as of, and first applied to the reinvestment of cash
distributions paid on or after, the closing of the Company’s initial continuous
public offering on December 31, 2015. Prior to the Third Amended DRIP, cash
distributions to participating shareholders were reinvested in additional
shares of common stock at a purchase price equal to 90% of the public offering
price per share in effect as of the date of issuance. Under the Third Amended
DRIP, cash distributions to participating shareholders were reinvested in
additional shares of common stock at a purchase price determined by the
Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion,
that was (i) not less than the net asset value per share determined in good
faith by the board of directors or a committee thereof, in their sole
discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution, or the NAV
Per Share, and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the NAV Per Share as of
such date. The purchase price determined for the January and February 2016
reinvestment of cash distributions under the Third Amended DRIP was $8.63 and
$8.45 per share, respectively.  On January 22, 2016, the Company further
amended and restated its distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to the fourth
amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan, or the Fourth Amended
DRIP.  The Fourth Amended DRIP became effective as of, and first applied to the
reinvestment of cash distributions paid on, March 30, 2016. Under the Fourth
Amended DRIP, cash distributions to participating shareholders will be
reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a purchase price equal to 90%
of the public offering price per share in effect as of the date of issuance.  The Company may fund its cash distributions
to shareholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including
offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital
gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the
sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of
preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense
support from IIG and AIM, which is subject to recoupment. The Company has not
established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to
make distributions. Through December 31, 2014, a portion of the Company’s
distributions resulted from expense support from IIG, and future distributions
may result from expense support from IIG and AIM, each of which is subject to
repayment by the Company within three years. The purpose of this arrangement is
to avoid such distributions being characterized as a return of capital.
Shareholders should understand that any such distributions are not based on the
Company’s investment performance, and can only be sustained if the Company
achieves positive investment performance in future periods and/or IIG and AIM continue
to provide such expense support. Shareholders should also understand that the
Company’s future repayments of expense support will reduce the distributions
that they would otherwise receive. There can be no assurance that the Company
will achieve such performance in order to sustain these distributions, or be
able to pay distributions at all. IIG and AIM have no obligation to provide
expense support to the Company in future periods.  The following table
reflects the sources of cash distributions on a GAAP basis that the Company has
declared on its shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30,

 Distributions in excess of net investment income represent
  certain expenses, which are not deductible on a tax-basis. Unearned capital
  gains incentive fees and certain offering expenses reduce GAAP basis net
  investment income, but do not reduce tax basis net investment income. These
  tax-related adjustments represent additional net investment income available
  for distribution for tax purposes.(2)
 During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company realized
  losses of $1,030, which are not currently deductible on a tax-basis.
  It is the Company's
policy to comply with all requirements of the Code applicable to RICs and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. In
addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its
net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if
any, the Company intends not to be subject to corporate level federal income
tax or federal excise taxes. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision was
required. 24

 Income and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with the Code and federal tax
regulations, which may differ from amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.
These book/tax differences, which could be material, are primarily due to differing
treatments of income and gains on various investments held by the Company.
Permanent book/tax differences result in reclassifications to capital in excess
of par value, accumulated undistributed net investment income, accumulated
undistributed realized gain on investments, and accumulated undistributed
realized gain on total return swap. During 2015, permanent differences
primarily due to the treatment of TRS and non-deductible offering costs
resulted in a net decrease in distributions in excess of net investment income,
a net decrease in accumulated realized gains and a net decrease to capital in
excess of par value. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets. The determination
of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually as of the
end of the Company’s fiscal year based upon the Company’s taxable income for
the full year and distributions paid for the full year. The tax characteristics
of distributions to shareholders are reported to shareholders annually on Form
1099-DIV. All distributions for 2015 were characterized as ordinary income
distributions for federal income tax purposes.  The tax components of accumulated earnings
for the current year will be determined at year end. As of December 31, 2015,
the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:  December 31, 2015Net unrealized

all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $61,084;

 CĪON / Capitala Senior Loan Fund
I, LLC  On June 24, 2015, the Company entered into
a joint venture with Capitala Finance Corp., or Capitala, to create CCSLF. CCSLF
is expected to invest primarily in senior secured loans. All portfolio and
other material decisions regarding CCSLF must be submitted to its board of
managers, which is comprised of four members, two of whom were selected by the
Company and the other two were selected by Capitala. Further, all portfolio and
other material decisions require the affirmative vote of at least one member
from the Company and one member from Capitala.  The Company and Capitala have committed to
provide an aggregate of up to $50,000 of equity to CCSLF, with the Company
providing up to $40,000 and Capitala providing up to $10,000.  In
addition, CCSLF intends to obtain third party asset-level financing. As of
June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, CCSLF held no assets and generated no net
income and as a result, is not included on the Company’s consolidated schedules
of investments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. If and when the
Company and Capitala fund CCSLF with new investments, CCSLF will be presented
as a controlled investment as defined by the 1940 Act. An investment is controlled
under the 1940 Act when a company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s
outstanding voting securities or maintains the ability to nominate greater than
50% of the portfolio company's board representation.  The Company has determined that CCSLF is an
investment company under ASC 946. However, in accordance with such guidance,
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. Accordingly, the
Company does not consolidate CCSLF.  As of August 4, 2016, the Company’s
unfunded commitment to CCSLF was $40,000.  The following tables show the composition
of the Company’s investment portfolio by industry classification and geographic
dispersion, and the percentage, by fair value, of the total investment
portfolio assets in such industries and geographies as of June 30, 2016 and December

  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there
were no delinquent investments or investments on non-accrual status. Except for CCSLF,
the Company does not “control” and is not an “affiliate” of any of its
portfolio companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the
1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company or
issuer if the Company owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be
an “affiliate” of a portfolio company or issuer if the Company owned 5% or more
of its voting securities.  The Company’s investment
portfolio may contain senior secured investments that are in the form of lines
of credit, revolving credit facilities, or unfunded commitments, which may
require the Company to provide funding when requested in accordance with the
terms of the underlying agreements. As of June 30, 2016 andDecember 31, 2015,
the Company’s unfunded commitments amounted to $102,593 and $43,404,
respectively. As of August 4, 2016, the Company’s unfunded commitments amounted
to $45,093.  Since these
commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the
Company.  Refer to Note 11 for
further details on the Company’s unfunded commitments.  Note 7. Total Return Swap  On December 17, 2012, the Company, through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Flatiron Funding, LLC, or Flatiron, entered into a
TRS with Citibank, N.A., or Citibank.  Effective December 9, 2013, Flatiron and
Citibank amended the TRS to, among other things, increase the maximum aggregate
market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS (determined at the
time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) from $150,000 to $225,000, and
increase the interest rate payable by Flatiron to Citibank with respect to each
loan included in the TRS by increasing the spread over the floating rate index
specified for each such loan from 1.25% to 1.35% per year. Flatiron and
Citibank further amended the TRS to increase the maximum aggregate market value
of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS to $275,000 effective February 18,
2014, to $325,000 effective April 30, 2014, to $375,000 effective July 30,
2014, to $475,000 effective September 5, 2014, to $600,000 effective January
20, 2015, to $750,000 effective March 4, 2015 and to $800,000 effective March
22, 2016. Effective October 2, 2015, Flatiron and Citibank amended the TRS to
extend the termination or call date from December 17, 2015 to March 17, 2016
and to provide that the floating rate index specified for each loan included in
the TRS will not be less than zero. On December 22, 2015, Flatiron and Citibank
further amended the TRS to reduce the ramp-down period from 90 days to 30 days
prior to the termination date, which represents the period when reinvestment is
no longer permitted under the terms of the TRS. Effective February 18, 2016,
Flatiron and Citibank further amended the TRS to extend the termination or call
date from March 17, 2016 to February 18, 2017, and increase the interest rate
payable by Flatiron to Citibank with respect to each loan included in the TRS
by increasing the spread over the floating rate index specified for each such
loan from 1.35% to 1.40% per year. The agreements between Flatiron and
Citibank, which collectively establish the TRS, are referred to herein as the
TRS Agreement.  A TRS is a contract in which one party
agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the
market value of and interest payments from the assets underlying the TRS in
return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. A TRS
effectively adds leverage to a portfolio by providing investment exposure to a
security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security
or investing directly in such market. Because of the unique structure of a TRS,
a TRS typically offers lower financing costs than are offered through more
traditional borrowing arrangements.  27

thousands, except share and per share amounts)
 The TRS with Citibank enables the Company, through its ownership
of Flatiron, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the
TRS, without actually owning them, in return for an interest-type payment to
Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to Flatiron borrowing funds to acquire
loans and incurring interest expense to a lender. Under the terms of the TRS
Agreement, each asset underlying the TRS constitutes a separate total return
swap transaction, although all calculations and payments required to be made
under the TRS Agreement are calculated and treated on an aggregate basis, based
upon all such transactions.  The obligations of Flatiron under the TRS
are non-recourse to the Company and the Company’s exposure under the TRS is
limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Flatiron, which generally
will equal the value of cash collateral provided by Flatiron under the TRS.
Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Flatiron may select loans with a maximum
aggregate market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject
to the TRS) of $800,000. Flatiron is required to initially cash collateralize a
specified percentage of each loan (generally 25% of the market value of such
loan) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described
in the TRS Agreement. Under the terms of the TRS, Flatiron agreed not to draw
upon, or post as collateral, such cash collateral in respect of other
financings or operating requirements prior to the termination of the TRS.
Neither the cash collateral required to be posted with Citibank nor any other
assets of Flatiron are available to pay the debts of the Company.  Unless otherwise specified, each individual
loan must meet the obligation criteria described in the TRS Agreement, which
includes requirements that the loan be rated by Moody’s and S&P, be part of
a loan facility of at least $125 million and have at least two bid quotations
from a nationally-recognized pricing service. Under the terms of the TRS,
Citibank, as calculation agent, determines whether there has been a failure to
satisfy the obligation criteria for each loan in the TRS. If such failure
continues for 30 days following the delivery of notice thereof, then Citibank
has the right, but not the obligation, to remove the underlying loan from the
TRS either through a sale negotiated by the Company or the price determined by
Citibank. Citibank also determines whether there has been a failure to satisfy
the portfolio criteria in the TRS, which includes limits on issuer and industry
concentration as well as Moody’s and S&P credit metrics. If such failure
continues for 30 days following the delivery of notice thereof, then Citibank
has the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the TRS. Flatiron receives
from Citibank all interest and fees payable in respect of the loans included in
the TRS. Flatiron pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to, in respect of
each loan included in the TRS, the floating rate index specified for such loan,
which will not be less than zero, plus 1.40% per year. In addition, upon the
termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Flatiron will either
receive from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to
Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.  Under the terms of the TRS, Flatiron may be
required to post additional cash collateral, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in
the event of depreciation in the value of the underlying loans after such value
decreases below a specified amount. The limit on the additional collateral that
Flatiron may be required to post pursuant to the TRS is equal to the difference
between the full notional amount of the loans underlying the TRS and the amount
of cash collateral already posted by Flatiron. The amount of collateral
required to be posted by Flatiron is determined primarily on the basis of the
aggregate value of the underlying loans.  The Company has no contractual obligation
to post any such additional collateral or to make any interest payments to
Citibank on behalf of Flatiron. The Company may, but is not obligated to,
increase its investment in Flatiron for the purpose of funding any additional
collateral or payment obligations for which Flatiron may become obligated
during the term of the TRS. If the Company does not make any such additional
investment in Flatiron and Flatiron fails to meet its obligations under the
TRS, then Citibank will have the right to terminate the TRS and seize the cash
collateral posted by Flatiron under the TRS. In the event of an early
termination of the TRS, Flatiron would be required to pay an early termination
fee.  Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after
February 18, 2017, or the call date. Flatiron may terminate the TRS at any time
upon providing no more than 30 days prior notice to Citibank. Any termination
prior to the call date will result in payment of an early termination fee to
Citibank based on the maximum portfolio amount of the TRS. Under the terms of
the TRS, the early termination fee will equal the present value of a stream of
monthly payments that would be owed by Flatiron to Citibank for the period from
the termination date through and including the call date. Such monthly payments
will equal the product of 80% of the maximum portfolio amount, multiplied by
the spread over the floating index rate. The Company estimates the early
termination fee would have been approximately $5,770 at June 30, 2016. Flatiron
may also be required to pay a minimum usage fee in connection with the TRS. As
of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Flatiron owed Citibank a minimum usage
fee of $7 and $4, respectively.  The value of the TRS is based on the
increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, as
determined by the Company. The loans underlying the TRS are valued in the same
manner as loans owned by the Company.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31,
2015, the fair value of the TRS was ($27,601) and ($34,900), respectively. The
fair value of the TRS is reflected as unrealized depreciation on total return
swap on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The change in value of the
TRS is reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as net
change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap. As of
June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Flatiron had selected 85 and 90 underlying
loans with a total notional amount of $689,708 and $718,025, respectively. For
the same periods, Flatiron posted $217,831 and $226,316 in cash collateral held
by Citibank (of which only $180,351 and $187,802was required to be posted), which is reflected in due from counterparty on the
Company’s consolidated balance sheets. 28

 Net realized
  gain is reflected in net realized gain on total return swap on the Company's
  consolidated statements of operations.
  In connection with the TRS, Flatiron is
required to comply with various covenants and reporting requirements as defined
in the TRS Agreement. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, Flatiron
was in compliance with all covenants and reporting requirements.  CIM has not taken any incentive fees with
respect to the Company’s TRS to date. For purposes of computing the capital
gains incentive fee, CIM will become entitled to a capital gains incentive fee
only upon the termination or disposition of the TRS, at which point all gains
and losses of the underlying loans constituting the reference assets of the TRS
will be realized. For purposes of computing the subordinated incentive fee on income,
CIM is not entitled to a subordinated incentive fee on income with respect to
the TRS. The net unrealized appreciation on the TRS, if any, is reflected in
total assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and included in the
computation of the base management fee. The base management fee does not
include any net unrealized depreciation on the TRS as such amounts are not
included in total assets. While the
investment advisory agreement with CIM neither includes nor contemplates the
inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive
fee, pursuant to an interpretation of the AICPA Technical Practice Aid for
investment companies, the Company accrues capital gains incentive fees on
unrealized gains. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be
payable to CIM if the Company’s entire investment portfolio was liquidated at
its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though CIM is not entitled to
an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains
are actually realized.  For purposes of the asset coverage ratio
test applicable to the Company as a BDC, the Company treats the outstanding
notional amount of the TRS, less the total amount of cash collateral posted by
Flatiron under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument.
The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future
in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the
staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC.  Further, for purposes of Section 55(a)
under the 1940 Act, the Company treats each loan underlying the TRS as a
qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible portfolio company
and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio
company. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the
future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted
by the staff of the SEC.  During the period from July 1,
2016 to August 4, 2016, the notional amount of TRS decreased from $689,708 to
$511,305 primarily due to net sales of underlying loans subject to the TRS of
$178,894. 29

 (a)
 All of the underlying loans subject to the TRS are issued by
  eligible U.S. portfolio companies, as defined in the 1940 Act, except for
  investments specifically identified as non-qualifying per note (d) below. The
  Company does not control and is not an affiliate of any of the companies that
  are issuers of the underlying loans subject to the TRS.(b)
 The 1, 3, and 6 month LIBOR rates were 0.47%, 0.65% and 0.92%,
  respectively, as of June 30, 2016. The actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed
  may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2016, as the loan may
  have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to
  June 30, 2016.(c)
 Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see
  Note 9).(d)
 All or a portion of the underlying loan subject to the TRS is
  not a qualifying asset under the 1940 Act. A business development company may
  not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the
  acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the
  company’s total assets as defined under Section 55 of the 1940 Act. As of
  June 30, 2016, 89.5% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying
  assets. In addition, as described in this Note 7, the Company calculates its
  compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by
  treating each loan underlying the TRS as either a qualifying asset or
  non-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio
  company. On this basis, 86.9% of the Company’s total assets represented
  qualifying assets as of June 30, 2016.(e)
 For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the following underlying
  loans subject to the TRS contain a PIK interest provision whereby the issuer
  has either the option or the obligation to make interest payments with the
  issuance of additional securities:Interest Rate

 (a)
 All of the underlying loans subject to the TRS are issued by
  eligible U.S. portfolio companies, as defined in the 1940 Act, except for
  investments specifically identified as non-qualifying per note (e) below. The
  Company does not control and is not an affiliate of any of the companies that
  are issuers of the underlying loans subject to the TRS.(b)
 The 1, 2, 3, and 6 month LIBOR rates were 0.43%, 0.51%, 0.61%
  and 0.85%, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. The actual LIBOR rate for
  each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of December 31,
  2015, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate
  prior to or subsequent to December 31, 2015. The prime rate was 3.50% as of
  December 31, 2015.(c)
 Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see
  Note 9).(d)
 Position or portion thereof unsettled as of December 31, 2015.(e)
 All or a portion of the underlying loan subject to the TRS is
  not a qualifying asset under the 1940 Act. A business development company may
  not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the
  acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the
  company’s total assets as defined under Section 55 of the 1940 Act. As of
  December 31, 2015, 90.0% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying
  assets. In addition, as described in this Note 7, the Company calculates its
  compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by
  treating each loan underlying the TRS as either a qualifying asset or
  non-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio
  company. On this basis, 87.2% of the Company’s total assets represented
  qualifying assets as of December 31, 2015.(f)
 For the year ended December 31, 2015, the following underlying
  loan subject to the TRS contains a PIK interest provision whereby the issuer
  has either the option or the obligation to make interest payments with the
  issuance of additional securities:Interest Rate

CĪON Investment Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(unaudited) June
30, 2016 (in
thousands, except share and per share amounts)
 Note 8. Credit Facility  East West Bank Credit Facility  On April 30,
2015, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility, or the EWB
Credit Facility, with East West Bank, or EWB. The EWB Credit Facility provides
for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $40,000, subject to certain
conditions, and the Company is required to maintain $2,000 in a demand deposit
account with EWB at all times. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2016,
the Company was in compliance with all covenants and reporting requirements
under the EWB Credit Facility.  Advances
under the EWB Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to (i) the
greater of 3.25% per year or the variable rate of interest per year announced
by EWB as its prime rate, which was 3.50% at June 30, 2016, plus (ii) a
spread of 0.75%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Each advance under
the EWB Credit Facility will be due and payable on the earlier of 90 days from
the date such advance was made by EWB, or April 27, 2017. The Company may
prepay any advance without penalty or premium. The Company will be subject to a
non-usage fee of 0.50% per year on the average amount, if any, of the aggregate
principal amount available under the EWB Credit Facility that has not been
borrowed, payable at the end of each quarter. The non-usage fee, if any, is
payable quarterly in arrears. The Company’s obligations to EWB under the EWB
Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in certain
eligible investments in which the Company has a beneficial interest, as updated
from time to time.  On January
28, 2016, the Company entered into the first amendment to the EWB Credit
Facility with EWB. Under the original EWB Credit Facility, the borrowing base
was the lesser of (i) the average monthly net proceeds received by the Company
from the sale of its equity securities during the trailing three month period
ending on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month; or (ii) 50%
of collateral securing the EWB Credit Facility. Under the first amendment,
during the period commencing on January 30, 2016 through July 31, 2016, (i) the
trailing equity component of the borrowing base was removed; (ii) the borrowing
base was decreased to 40% of the collateral securing the EWB Credit Facility;
and (iii) the required minimum fair market value of the collateral securing the
EWB Credit Facility was increased from two to two and one-half times all outstanding
advances under the EWB Credit Facility. Prior to entering into the second
amendment to the EWB Credit Facility (as described below), these amended
provisions were scheduled to revert back to their original terms on July 31,
2016.  On April 21,
2016, the Company entered into the second amendment to the EWB Credit Facility
with EWB. Under the second amendment, the date after which the amended
provisions of the first amendment will revert back to their original terms was
extended from July 31, 2016 to September 30, 2016 and the maturity date of the
EWB Credit Facility was extended from April 29, 2016 to April 27, 2017.  As of August
5, 2016 and during the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had no
outstanding borrowings under the EWB Credit Facility.  The Company
incurred costs of $278 in connection with obtaining the EWB Credit Facility,
which the Company initially recorded as prepaid expenses and other assets on
the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense
over the initial life of the EWB Credit Facility. On April 21, 2016, the
Company incurred additional costs of $200 in connection with the second
amendment to the EWB Credit Facility, which the Company initially recorded as
prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets
and amortizes to interest expense over the life of the EWB Credit Facility
pursuant to the second amendment. As of June 30, 2016, $166 of such costs had
yet to be amortized to interest expense.  For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the components of interest
expense were as follows:  Three Months Ended

 Unless otherwise noted, the funding criteria for these unfunded
  commitments had not been met at the date indicated.(2)
 See Note 6 for a further description of our investment in CCSLF.(3)
 As of August 4, 2016, the Company's unfunded commitments were to
  portfolio companies ABG Intermediate Holdings 2 LLC, Ivy Hill Middle Market
  Credit Fund VIII, Ltd., and Studio Movie Grill Holdings, LLC in the amount of
  $1,119, $1,111 and $363, respectively, and also included an unfunded commitment
  of $40,000 to CCSLF. In addition, subsequent to June 30, 2016, the Company
  entered into a $2,500 revolving loan commitment with Elemica Holdings, Inc.,
  which was unfunded as of August 4, 2016.(4)
 This unfunded commitment expired prior to August 4, 2016 without
  being funded.
  Unfunded commitments to provide
funds to companies are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance
sheets. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded
commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future
earning assets for the Company.  The Company intends to use cash on hand,
short-term investments and other liquid assets to fund these commitments should
the need arise.For information on the companies to which the Company
is committed to fund additional amounts as of June 30, 2016 and December 31,
2015, refer to the table above and the consolidated schedules of investments.  The Company will fund its
unfunded commitments from the same sources it uses to fund its investment
commitments that are funded at the time they are made (i.e., advances from its
revolving credit facility and/or cash flows from operations). The Company will
not fund its unfunded commitments from future net proceeds generated by
securities offerings. The Company follows a process to manage its liquidity and
ensure that it has available capital to fund its unfunded commitments.
Specifically, the Company prepares detailed analyses of the level of its
unfunded commitments relative to its then available liquidity on a daily basis.
These analyses are reviewed and discussed on a weekly basis by the Company’s
executive officers and senior members of CIM (including members of the
investment committee) and are updated on a “real time” basis in order to ensure
that the Company has adequate liquidity to satisfy its unfunded commitments.  The Company does not include
its unfunded capital commitment to CCSLF as a senior security for the asset
coverage ratio, as the capital commitments cannot be drawn without an

 The per share data for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and
  2015 was derived by using the weighted average shares of common stock
  outstanding during each period.(2)
 Net investment income per share includes expense recoupments to
  IIG of $0.01 and $0.04 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and
  2015, respectively. There was no expense support from IIG or AIM for the six
  months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015.(3)
 The amount shown for net realized gain and net change in unrealized
  appreciation on investments is the balancing figure derived from the other
  figures in the schedule. The amount shown at this caption for a share
  outstanding throughout the period may not agree with the change in the
  aggregate gains and losses in portfolio securities for the period because of
  the timing of sales and repurchases of the Company’s shares in relation to
  fluctuating market values for the portfolio. As a result, net increase in net
  assets resulting from operations in this schedule may vary from the
  consolidated statements of operations.(4)
 Distributions in excess of net investment income represent
  certain expenses, which are not deductible on a tax-basis.  Unearned capital
  gains incentive fees and certain offering expenses reduce GAAP basis net
  investment income, but do not reduce tax basis net investment income. These
  tax-related adjustments represent additional net investment income available
  for distribution for tax purposes.

 (5)
 The continuous issuance of shares of common stock may cause an
  incremental increase in net asset value per share due to the sale of shares
  at the then prevailing public offering price and the receipt of net proceeds
  per share by the Company in excess of net asset value per share on each subscription
  closing date. The per share impact of the continuous issuance of shares of
  common stock was an increase to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share
  during the six months ended June 30, 2016.(6)
 Repurchases of common stock may cause an incremental decrease in
  net asset value per share due to the repurchase of shares at a price in
  excess of net asset value per share on each repurchase date. The per share
  impact of repurchases of common stock was a decrease to net asset value of
  less than $0.01 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.(7)
 Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the
  change in total value for shareholders who held the Company’s common stock at
  the beginning and end of the period, including distributions paid or payable
  during the period. Total investment return-net asset value is based on (i)
  the beginning period net asset value per share on the first day of the
  period, (ii) the net asset value per share on the last day of the period of
  (A) one share plus (B) any fractional shares issued in connection with the
  reinvestment of monthly distributions, and (iii) the value of distributions
  payable, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment
  return-net asset value calculation assumes that monthly cash distributions
  are reinvested in accordance with the Company's distribution reinvestment
  plan then in effect as described in Note 5. The total investment return-net
  asset value does not consider the effect of the sales load from the sale of
  the Company’s common stock. The total investment return-net asset value
  includes the effect of the issuance of shares at a net offering price that is
  greater than net asset value per share, which causes an increase in net asset
  value per share. Total returns covering less than a full year are not
  annualized.(8)
 Excluding the recoupment of expense support to IIG during the
  period, the ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have
  been 2.43% and 1.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015,
  respectively.(9)
 Ratio of gross operating expenses to average net assets does not
  include expense support provided by IIG and/or AIM, if any.(10)
 The ratio of gross expense recoupments to IIG to average net
  assets for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was (0.07%) and
  (0.40%), respectively.(11)
 In order to record an obligation to reimburse IIG for expense
  support provided, the ratio of gross operating expenses to average net assets,
  when considering the recoupment, in the period in which recoupment is sought
  cannot exceed the ratio of gross operating expenses to average net assets for
  the period when the expense support was provided. For purposes of this
  calculation, gross operating expenses include all expenses borne by the
  Company, except for offering and organizational costs, base management fees,
  incentive fees, administrative services expenses, other general and
  administrative expenses owed to CIM and its affiliates and interest expense.
  For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the ratio of gross operating
  expenses to average net assets, when considering recoupment to IIG, was 0.26%
  and 0.39%, respectively.(12)
 Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of
  year-to-date sales or purchases over the average of the invested assets at
  fair value, excluding short term investments, and is not annualized.(13)
 Asset coverage ratio is equal to (i) the sum of (a) net assets
  at the end of the period and (b) total senior securities outstanding at the
  end of the period (excluding unfunded commitments), divided by (ii) total
  senior securities outstanding at the end of the period. For purposes of the
  asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company as a BDC, the Company
  treats the outstanding TRS notional amount at the end of the period, less the
  total amount of cash collateral posted by Flatiron under the TRS, as well as
  unfunded commitments (as of June 30, 2015 only), as senior securities.  The
  Company does not include its unfunded capital commitment to CCSLF as a senior
  security for the asset coverage ratio, as the capital commitment cannot be
  drawn without an affirmative vote by one of the Company's representatives on
  CCSLF's board of managers.

We have based
the forward-looking statements on information available to us on the date of
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by the federal
securities laws, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. You are advised to review any additional disclosures that
we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file
with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form
10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements contained
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are excluded from the safe harbor
protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Overview  We were incorporated under the general
corporation laws of the State of Maryland on August 9, 2011 and commenced
operations on December 17, 2012 upon raising proceeds of $2,500 from persons
not affiliated with us, CIM or Apollo. We are an externally managed,
non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be
regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We elected to be treated for federal
income tax purposes as a RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Code. Our investment
objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital
appreciation for investors. Our portfolio is comprised primarily ofinvestments in senior secured debt, including first lien
loans, second lien loans and unitranche loans, and, to a lesser extent,
collateralized securities, structured products and other similar securities,
unsecured debt, including corporate bonds and long-term subordinated loans,
referred to as mezzanine loans, and equity of private and thinly traded U.S.
middle-market companies.In connection with our debt investments, we may
receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional
consideration. We may also purchase minority interests in the form of common or
preferred equity in our target companies, either in conjunction with one of our
debt investments or through a co-investment with a financial sponsor.  We are managed by CIM, our affiliate and a
registered investment adviser. CIM oversees the management of our activities
and is responsible for making investment decisions for our portfolio. We and
CIM have engaged AIM to act as our investment sub-adviser. On December 7, 2015,
our board of directors, including a majority of directors who are not
interested persons, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement
with CIM and the investment sub-advisory agreement with AIM, each for a period
of twelve months commencing December 17, 2015.  We seek to meet our
investment objective by utilizing the experienced management teams of both CIM
and AIM, which includes their access to the relationships and human capital of
Apollo, IIG and ICON Capital, in sourcing, evaluating and structuring
transactions. We focus primarily on the senior secured debt of private and
thinly-traded U.S. middle-market companies, which we define as companies that
generally possess annual EBITDA of $50 million or less, with experienced
management teams, significant free cash flow, strong competitive positions and
potential for growth.  Revenue  We primarily generate revenue in the form
of interest income on the debt securities that we hold and capital gains on
debt or other equity interests that we acquire in portfolio companies. The
majority of our senior debt investments bear interest at a floating rate.
Interest on debt securities is generally payable quarterly or monthly. In some
cases, some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or
PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued, but
unpaid, interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition,
we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, structuring or diligence
fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and possibly
consulting fees and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in
connection with our investments will be recognized when earned.  Operating Expenses  Our primary
operating expenses are the payment of advisory fees and other expenses under
the investment advisory and administration agreements. Our investment advisory
fee compensates CIM for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating,
executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. CIM is responsible for
compensating AIM for its services pursuant to the investment sub-advisory
agreement. We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions. 43

 Amortized cost represents the original cost adjusted for the
  amortization of premiums and/or accretion of discounts, as applicable, on our
  investments.(2)
 Short term investments represent an investment in a fund that
  invests in highly liquid investments with average original maturity dates of
  three months or less.(3)
 The sum of investment portfolio and TRS portfolio companies does
  not equal the total number of portfolio companies. This is due to 23
  portfolio companies being in both the investment and TRS portfolios.(4)
 The portfolio yield does not represent and may be higher than an
  actual investment return to shareholders because it excludes our expenses and
  all sales commissions and dealer manager fees.(5)
 The portfolio yield for underlying TRS loans is determined
  without giving consideration to leverage.

 Amortized cost represents the original cost adjusted for the
  amortization of premiums and/or accretion of discounts, as applicable, on our
  investments.(2)
 Short term investments represent an investment in a fund that
  invests in highly liquid investments with average original maturity dates of
  three months or less.(3)
 The sum of investment portfolio and TRS portfolio companies does
  not equal the total number of portfolio companies. This is due to 27
  portfolio companies being in both the investment and TRS portfolios.(4)
 The portfolio yield does not represent and may be higher than an
  actual investment return to shareholders because it excludes our expenses and
  all sales commissions and dealer manager fees.(5)
 The portfolio yield for underlying TRS loans is determined
  without giving consideration to leverage.
  The following table summarizes the
composition of our investment portfolio and our underlying TRS loans portfolio by

  Except for CCSLF, we do not “control” and
are not an “affiliate” of any of our portfolio companies or any of the
companies of the loans underlying the TRS, each as defined in the 1940 Act. In
general, under the 1940 Act, we would be presumed to “control” a portfolio
company or issuer if we owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be
an “affiliate” of a portfolio company or issuer if we owned 5% or more of its
voting securities.  Our
investment portfolio may contain senior secured investments that are in the
form of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, or unfunded commitments,
which may require us to provide funding when requested in accordance with the
terms of the underlying agreements. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015,
our unfunded commitments amounted to $102,593 and $43,404, respectively. As of
August 4, 2016, our unfunded commitments amounted to $45,093. Since these
commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for us.
For additional information on our unfunded commitments, refer to Note 11 to our
consolidated financial statements included in this report. 47

Investment Portfolio
Asset Quality  CIM uses an investment rating system to characterize
and monitor our expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio.
These ratings are just one of several factors that CIM uses to monitor our
portfolio, are not in and of themselves determinative of fair value or revenue
recognition and are presented for indicative purposes. CIM rates the credit
risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 5 no less frequently than quarterly.
This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio
investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio
investment (i.e., at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into
account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company’s
business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors.  The following is a description of the conditions
associated with each investment rating used in this ratings system:  Investment Rating
 Description1
 Indicates
  the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk
  factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally
  favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a
  potential exit.2
 Indicates
  a level of risk to our initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to our
  initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio
  company is generally performing in accordance with our analysis of its
  business and the full return of principal and interest or dividend is
  expected.3
 Indicates
  that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has
  increased since origination or acquisition, but full return of principal and
  interest or dividend is expected. A portfolio company with an investment
  rating of 3 requires closer monitoring.4
 Indicates
  that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has
  increased significantly since origination or acquisition, including as a
  result of factors such as declining performance and noncompliance with debt
  covenants, and we expect some loss of interest, dividend or capital
  appreciation, but still expect an overall positive internal rate of return on
  the investment.5
 Indicates
  that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has
  increased materially since origination or acquisition and the portfolio
  company likely has materially declining performance. Loss of interest or
  dividend and some loss of principal investment is expected, which would
  result in an overall negative internal rate of return on the investment.
 For investments rated 3, 4, or 5, CIM
enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company. 48

  The amount of the investment portfolio and
underlying TRS loans in each rating category may vary substantially from period
to period resulting primarily from changes in the composition of each portfolio
as a result of new investment, repayment and exit activities. In addition,
changes in the rating of investments may be made to reflect our expectation of
performance and changes in investment values.  Current Investment Portfolio  As of August 4, 2016, our investment
portfolio, excluding our short term investments and TRS, consisted of interests
in 81 portfolio companies (26% in senior secured first lien debt, 60% in senior
secured second lien debt, 10% in collateralized securities and structured products
(comprised of 2% invested in rated debt, 4% invested in non-rated debt and 4%
invested in non-rated equity of such securities and products), 4% in unsecured
debt and less than 1% in equity) with a total fair value of $726,317 with an
average and median portfolio company annual EBITDA of $68.8 million and $58.7
million, respectively, at initial investment. As of August 4, 2016, investments
in our portfolio, excluding our short term investments and TRS, were purchased
at a weighted average price of 96.81% of par value. Our estimated gross annual
portfolio yield was 9.62% based upon the purchase price of such investments.
The estimated gross portfolio yield does not represent and may be higher than
an actual investment return to shareholders because it excludes our expenses
and all sales commissions and dealer manager fees. For the six months ended
June 30, 2016, our total investment return-net asset value was 5.23%. Total
investment return-net asset value does not represent and may be higher than an
actual investment return to shareholders because it excludes all sales
commissions and dealer manager fees. Total investment return-net asset value is
a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held our common
stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions paid or
payable during the period, and is described further in Note 13 of our
consolidated financial statements.  As of August 4, 2016, our only short term
investment was an investment in a U.S. Treasury Obligations Fund of $51,329.  Further, as of August 4, 2016, through
a TRS (described further in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements),
we obtained the economic benefit of owning investments in first and second lien
senior secured floating-rate loans of 64 portfolio companies, down from 83 at
June 30, 2016 due to net sales of underlying loans subject to the TRS of
$178,894.  49

  Investment Income  For the three months
ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we generated investment income of $17,830 and
$11,918, respectively, consisting primarily of interest income on investments
in senior secured debt, collateralized securities, structured products, and
unsecured debt of 89 and 78 portfolio companies held during each respective
period. Our average investment portfolio size, excluding short term investments
and the TRS, increased $170,094, from $508,779 for the three months ended June
30, 2015 to $678,873 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as we continued
to deploy the net proceeds from our follow-on continuous public offering. We
expect our investment portfolio to continue to grow due to the anticipated
equity available to us for investment from our follow-on continuous public
offering, which commenced on January 25, 2016. As a result, we believe that
reported investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is
not representative of our stabilized or future performance. Interest income
earned by loans underlying the TRS is not included in investment income in the
consolidated statements of operations, but rather it is recorded as part of net
realized gain on total return swap.  Operating Expenses  The composition of our operating expenses

  Expense Support and Recoupment of Expense
Support  Our affiliate, IIG, agreed to provide
expense support to us commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2012 for
certain expenses pursuant to the expense support and conditional reimbursement
agreement. On December 16, 2015, we further amended and restated the expense
support and conditional reimbursement agreement for purposes of including AIM
as a party to the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement and
extending the termination date from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016.
Commencing with the quarter beginning January 1, 2016, IIG and AIM each agrees
to provide expense support to us for 50% of certain expenses pursuant to the
second amended and restated expense support and conditional reimbursement
agreement. Refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for further
details about the second amended and restated expense support and conditional
reimbursement agreement and additional disclosure regarding expense support from
IIG.  For the three months ended June 30, 2016,
IIG recouped $548 of expense support made during the three months ended
December 31, 2014 in connection with the expense support and conditional
reimbursement agreement. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, IIG recouped
$1,592 of expense supportmade during the three
months ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013 in connection with the
expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement.  Recoupment of such support will be
determined as appropriate to meet the objectives of the second amended and
restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement. As a result,
we may or may not be requested to reimburse IIG and AIM for any expense support
that may be received from IIG and AIM in the future. 51

Net Investment Income  Our net investment income totaled $10,830
and $4,506 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The
increase in net investment income was primarily due to an increase in the size
of our investment portfolio relative to our expenses as we continued to achieve
economies of scale due to our continuous public offerings.  Net Realized Gain on Investments  Our net realized gain on investments
totaled $707 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. We had no net realized
gains on investments during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase
in net realized gain on investments was mainly due to an increase in principal
repayment activity during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2015. During the three months ended June 30, 2016,
we received sale proceeds of $1,495 and principal repayments of $76,607,
resulting in net realized gains of $707. For the three months ended June 30,
2015, we received sale proceeds of $20,236 and principal repayments of $2,392,
which resulted in no net gains or losses.  Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on
Investments  The net change in unrealized appreciation
on our investments totaled $14,244 and $967 for the three months ended June 30,
2016 and 2015, respectively.This change was driven
primarily by an increase in the average size of our investment portfolio and improving
conditions in the leveraged loan market for the three months ended June 30,
2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.  Net Realized Gain on TRS  Our net realized gain on the TRS totaled $7,249
and $8,515 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The
components of net realized gain on the TRS are summarized below:  Three Months Ended

  Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
on TRS  The net change in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on the TRS totaled $8,907 and ($3,250) for the three months
ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.This
change was driven primarily by (i) an increase in the average size of the TRS
for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 and
(ii) a greater degree of credit spread tightening for broadly syndicated loans
during the three months endedJune 30, 2016compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2015.  Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from
Operations  For the three months ended June 30, 2016
and 2015, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of
$41,937 and $10,738, respectively, as a result of our operating activity for
the respective periods. 52

  Investment Income  For the six months ended
June 30, 2016 and 2015, we generated investment income of $35,101 and $20,832,
respectively, consisting primarily of interest income on investments in senior
secured debt, collateralized securities, structured products, and unsecured
debt of 94 and 78 portfolio companies held during each respective period. Our
average investment portfolio size, excluding short term investments and the
TRS, increased $209,071, from $468,235 for the six months ended June 30, 2015
to $677,306 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, as we continued to deploy
the net proceeds from our follow-on continuous public offering. We expect our
investment portfolio to continue to grow due to the anticipated equity available
to us for investment from our follow-on continuous public offering, which
commenced on January 25, 2016. As a result, we believe that reported investment
income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is not representative of

recouped $667 of expense support made during the three months ended December
31, 2014 in connection with the expense support and conditional reimbursement
agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, IIG recouped $2,429 of
expense support made during the three months ended March 31, 2013, June 30,

and $6,637 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The
increase in net investment income was primarily due to an increase in the size
of our investment portfolio relative to our expenses as we continued to achieve
economies of scale due to our continuous public offerings.  54

Net Realized Gain on Investments  Our net realized gain on investments
totaled $699 and $575 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015,
respectively.The increase in net realized gain on
investments was mainly due to an increase in sale and principal repayment
activity during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we
received sale proceeds of $12,415 and principal repayments of $87,356,
resulting in net realized gains of $699. For the six months ended June 30,
2015, we received sale proceeds of $55,801 and principal repayments of $3,510,
resulting in net realized gains of $575.  Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on
Investments  The net change in unrealized appreciation
on our investments totaled $1,639 and $2,431 for the six months ended June 30,
2016 and 2015, respectively.This change was driven
primarily by a widening of credit spreads for middle market companies during
the six months ended June 30, 2016 that
negatively impacted the fair value of certain investments, compared to a tightening of credit spreads
for middle market companies during the six months ended June 30, 2015.  Net Realized Gain on TRS  Our net realized gain on the TRS totaled $15,611
and $15,122 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The

leveraged loan market during the six months endedJune 30, 2016compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2015.  Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from
Operations  For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and

$46,553 and $27,564, respectively, as a result of our operating activity for
the respective periods. 55

Net Asset Value per Share, Annual Investment Return and Total
Return Since Inception  Our net asset value per share was $8.79 and
$8.71 on June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. After considering
(i) the overall changes in net asset value per share, (ii) paid distributions
of approximately $0.3658 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2016,
and (iii) the assumed reinvestment of those distributionsin accordance with our distribution reinvestment plan then in effect, the total investment return was 5.23%for the six
month period ended June 30, 2016. Total investment return-net asset value does
not represent and may be higher than an actual return to shareholders because
it excludes all sales commissions and dealer manager fees. Total investment
return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for
shareholders who held our common stock at the beginning and end of the period,
including distributions paid or payable during the period, and is described further
in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.  Initial shareholders who subscribed to the
offering in December 2012 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial
purchase price equal to $9.00 per share (public offering price net of sales
load) have seen an annualized return of 7.28% and a cumulative total return of
28.24% through June 30, 2016 (see chart below). Initial shareholders who
subscribed to the offering in December 2012 with an initial investment of
$10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $10.00 per share (the initial
public offering price including sales load) have seen an annualized return of
4.13% and a cumulative total return of 15.42% through June 30, 2016. Over the
same time period, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, a primary measure of
senior debt covering the U.S. leveraged loan market, which currently consists
of approximately 1,000 credit facilities throughout numerous industries,
recorded an annualized return of 3.23% and a cumulative total return of 11.90%.
In addition, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index, a primary measure of
short-term US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly
issued in the US domestic market, recorded an annualized return of 4.02% and a
cumulative total return of 14.97% over the same period.    (1) Cumulative performance: December 17,
2012 to June 30, 2016  The calculations for the Growth of $10,000
Initial Investment are based upon (i) an initial investment of $10,000 in our
common stock at the beginning of the period, at a share price of $10.00 per
share (including sales load) and $9.00 per share (excluding sales load), (ii)
assumes reinvestment of monthly distributions in accordance with our
distribution reinvestment plan then in effect, (iii) the sale of the entire
investment position at the net asset value per share on the last day of the
period, and (iv) the distributions declared and payable to shareholders, if
any, on the last day of the period. 56

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources  We generate cash primarily from the net
proceeds from our follow-on continuous public offering and from cash flows from
interest, fees and dividends earned from our investments as well as principal
repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. We are engaged in a follow-on
continuous public offering of shares of our common stock. Our initial
continuous public offering commenced on July 2, 2012 and ended on December 31,
2015. Our follow-on continuous public offering commenced on January 25, 2016. We
accept subscriptions on a continuous basis and issue shares at weekly closings
at prices that, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees,
are at or above our net asset value per share.  We will sell our shares on a continuous
basis at our latest public offering price of $9.95 per share; however, to the
extent that our net asset value fluctuates, we will sell at a price necessary
to ensure that shares are sold at a price, after deduction of selling
commissions and dealer manager fees, that is above and within 2.5% of net asset
value per share.  Since commencing our initial continuous
public offering on July 2, 2012 and through June 30, 2016, we sold 106,020,384
shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,081,393 at an average price per
share of $10.20. The net proceeds include gross proceeds received from reinvested
shareholder distributions of $64,829, for which we issued 7,106,399 shares of
common stock, and gross proceeds paid for shares of common stock tendered for
repurchase of $15,846, for which we repurchased 1,758,036 shares of common
stock. Since commencing our initial continuous public offering on July 2, 2012
and through June 30, 2016, sales commissions and dealer manager fees related to
the sale of our common stock were $61,863 and $30,299, respectively.  As of August 5, 2016, we sold 106,322,520
shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,084,487 at an average price per
share of $10.20. The net proceeds include gross proceeds received from reinvested
shareholder distributions of $67,831, for which we issued 7,443,323 shares of
common stock, and gross proceeds paid for shares of common stock tendered for
repurchase of $19,814, for which we repurchased 2,207,852 shares of common
stock.Since
commencing our initial continuous public offering on July 2, 2012 and through
August 5, 2016, sales commissions and dealer manager fees related to the sale
of our common stock were $62,119 and $30,414, respectively.  The net proceeds from our follow-on continuous
public offering will be invested primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S.
government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments
maturing in one year or less prior to being invested in debt securities of
private U.S. companies. As of June 30, 2016
and December 31, 2015, we had $32,093 and $18,892 in short term investments,
respectively, invested in a fund that primarily invests in U.S. government
securities.  Total Return Swap  For a detailed
discussion of our TRS, refer to Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements
included in this report.  East West Bank Credit Facility  As of June 30, 2016 and
August 5, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings under the EWB Credit Facility and
the aggregate principal amount available in connection with the EWB Credit
Facility was $40,000.  For a detailed
discussion of our EWB Credit Facility, refer to Note 8 to our consolidated
financial statements included in this report.  Unfunded Commitments  As of June 30, 2016 and August 5, 2016, our
unfunded commitments amounted to $102,593 and $45,093, respectively.  For a detailed discussion of our unfunded
commitments, refer to Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included
in this report.  57

  is made annually as of the end of the year.(2)
 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company
  realized losses of $1,030 in our total return swap portfolio, which are not
  currently deductible on a tax-basis.
  For an additional discussion of our RIC
status and distributions, refer to Note 2 and Note 5, respectively, to our
consolidated financial statements included in this report.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements We do not believe any recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material adverse
effect on our consolidated financial statements. Critical Accounting Policies  Our consolidated financial statements are
prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting
policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult,
subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates
about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change
in subsequent periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we
also utilize available information, including our past history, industry
standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming
our estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may
utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results
of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. 58

Valuation of Portfolio Investments  The value of our assets is
determined quarterly and at such other times that an event occurs that
materially affects the valuation. The valuation is made pursuant to Section
2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires that we value our assets as follows:
(i) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is
readily available, and (ii) for all other securities and assets, at fair value,
as determined in good faith by our board of directors. As a BDC, Section
2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act requires the board of directors to determine in good
faith the fair value of portfolio securities for which a market price is not
readily available, and it does so in conjunction with the application of our
valuation procedures by CIM.  There is no single standard 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 asset while employing a valuation process that is consistently followed.
Determinations of fair value involve subjective judgments and estimates.
Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the
uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any
change in such valuations in our consolidated financial statements.  Valuation
Methods  With respect to investments for which market quotations
are not readily available, we undertake a multi-step valuation process each
quarter, as described below:  ·our quarterly valuation process
begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by
certain of CIM’s investment professionals and certain members of its management
team, with such valuation taking into account information received from various
sources, including independent valuation firms and AIM, if applicable; ·preliminary valuation conclusions
are then documented and discussed with CIM’s valuation committee; ·CIM’s valuation committee reviews
the preliminary valuation, and, if applicable, delivers such preliminary
valuation to an independent valuation firm for its review; ·CIM’s valuation committee, or its
designee, and, if appropriate, the relevant investment professionals meet with
the independent valuation firm to discuss the preliminary valuation; ·designated members of CIM’s
management team respond and supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any
comments provided by the independent valuation firm; ·our audit committee meets with
members of CIM’s management team and the independent valuation firm to discuss
the assistance provided and the results of the independent valuation firm’s
review; and ·our board of directors discusses
the valuation and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio
in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the
input and recommendation of CIM, the audit committee and any third-party
valuation firm, if applicable.  In addition to the foregoing, certain investments for
which a market price is not readily available are evaluated on a quarterly
basis by an independent valuation firm and certain other investments are on a
rotational basis reviewed once over a twelve-month period by an independent
valuation firm. Finally, certain investments are not evaluated by an
independent valuation firm unless the net asset value and other aspects of such
investments in the aggregate exceed certain thresholds.  Given the expected types of investments, excluding
short term investments that are classified as Level 1, management expects our
portfolio holdings to be classified as Level 3. Due to the uncertainty inherent
in the valuation process, particularly for Level 3 investments, such fair value
estimates may differ significantly from the values that would have been used
had an active market for the investments existed. In addition, changes in the
market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the
investments may cause the gains or losses that we ultimately realize on these
investments to materially differ from the valuations currently assigned. Inputs
used in the valuation process are subject to variability in the future and can
result in materially different fair values.  For an additional discussion of our investment
valuation process, refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements
included in this report. 59

Related Party Transactions  For a discussion of our
relationship with related parties including CĪON Securities, CIM, ICON
Capital, and IIG and amounts incurred under agreements with such related
parties, refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in
this report.  Contractual Obligations  On December 17, 2012, Flatiron entered into
a TRS with Citibank. Flatiron and Citibank have amended the TRS on numerous
occasions including the most recent twelfth amendment on March 22, 2016. See
Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description
of the TRS.  On April 30, 2015, we entered into the EWB
Credit Facility with EWB, as amended on January 28, 2016 and April 21, 2016.
See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed
description of the EWB Credit Facility.  Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  Commitments and Contingencies  We have entered into certain contracts with
other parties that contain a variety of indemnifications. Our maximum exposure
under these arrangements is unknown. However, we have not experienced claims or
losses pursuant to these contracts and believe the risk of loss related to such
indemnifications to be remote.  Our investment portfolio may
contain debt investments that are in the form of lines of credit, revolving
credit facilities, or other unfunded commitments, which may require us to
provide funding when requested in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreement.
For further details on such debt investments, refer to Note 11 to our
consolidated financial statements included in this report.  Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  We currently have no
off-balance sheet arrangements except for those discussed in Note 7 and Note 11
to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.  60

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk  We are subject to financial market risks,
including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2016, 93.2% of our
portfolio investments and underlying loans subject to the TRS paid variable
interest rates. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected
to lead to higher interest rates applicable to our debt investments, especially
to the extent that we hold variable rate investments, and to declines in the
value of any fixed rate investments we may hold. To the extent that a majority
of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest
rates could make it easier for us to meet or exceed our incentive fee hurdle
rate, as defined in our investment advisory agreement, and may result in a
substantial increase in our net investment income, and also to the amount of
incentive fees payable to CIM with respect to our pre-incentive fee net
investment income.  Under the terms of the TRS with Citibank,
we pay fees to Citibank at a floating rate based primarily on LIBOR (and in
limited cases the prime rate) in exchange for the right to receive the economic
benefit of a pool of loans. Pursuant to the terms of the EWB Credit Facility,
borrowings are at a floating rate of 0.75% plus the greater of 3.25% or the
variable rate of interest per year announced by EWB as its prime rate, which
was 3.50% at June 30, 2016. In addition, in the future we may seek to
borrow funds in order to make additional investments. Our net investment income
will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow
funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we would be
subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of
rising interest rates when we have debt outstanding, our cost of funds would
increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the
extent we hold fixed rate investments. We expect that our long-term investments
will be financed primarily with equity and long-term debt. Our interest rate
risk management techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities
to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from
changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.  The following table shows the effect over a
twelve month period of changes in interest rates on our net interest income,
excluding short term investments, assuming no changes in our investment portfolio,
TRS Agreement, or the EWB Credit Facility in effect as of June 30, 2016: Change in

 Pursuant to the TRS, we receive from Citibank all interest
  payable in respect of the loans subject to the TRS and pay to Citibank
  interest at a rate equal to the floating rate index specified for each loan
  (typically LIBOR of varying maturities), which will not be less than zero,
  plus 1.40% per year on the full notional amount of the loans subject to the
  TRS. As of June 30, 2016, all of the loans subject to the TRS paid variable
  interest rates. This table assumes no change in defaults or prepayments by
  portfolio companies over the next twelve months.
  The interest rate sensitivity analysis
presented above does not consider the potential impact of the changes in fair
value of our fixed rate debt investments and the net asset value of our common
stock in the event of sudden increases in interest rates. Approximately 4.3% of
our portfolio investments and underlying loans subject to the TRS paid fixed
interest rates as of June 30, 2016. Rising market interest rates will most
likely lead to fair value declines for fixed interest rate investments and a
decline in the net asset value of our common stock, while declining market
interest rates will most likely lead to an increase in the fair value of fixed
interest rate investments and an increase in the net asset value of our common
stock.  In addition, we may have risk regarding
portfolio valuation as discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial
statements included in this report. 61

Item 4. Controls and Procedures  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Qfor the three
months ended June 30, 2016, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report
pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Co-Chief Executive
Officers and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective. In designing and evaluating our
disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure
controls and procedures are met.  Our disclosure controls and
procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards.
Disclosure controls and procedures cannot detect or prevent all error and
fraud. Some inherent limitations in disclosure controls and procedures include
costs of implementation, faulty decision-making, simple error and mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the
controls. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
anticipated and unanticipated future conditions. Over time, controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with
established policies or procedures. Evaluation of internal control over
financial reporting  There have been no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2016
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting. 62
