|(7) | During the fourth quarter of 2016, we executed a series of amendments to our note purchase and security agreement with OCI Holdings, LLC, or OCI, to allow the company to PIK its LIBOR+12% cash interest for November and December 2016. Also, default interest of $0.1 million and current unpaid interest of $0.4 million was added to the principal balance in the fourth quarter 2016. Effective January 31, 2017, we executed a seventh amendment to our note purchase and security agreement with OCI that allowed the company to PIK its LIBOR+12% cash interest through March 31, 2017. OCI remains in financial covenant default and while in default, we are earning an additional 2% cash interest and 2% PIK interest. In 2017, we have executed a number of amendments to our note purchase and security agreement with OCI that allows the company to continue to PIK its LIBOR +12% cash interest through August 31, 2017.

|(8) | By the terms of our original investment, upon redemption, we were due the outstanding face amount of $50 million, any unpaid and accrued dividends, plus an option to elect to receive either: a) a cash payment resulting in a total 12% return or make-whole (inclusive of the 8% cash distributions even if not paid), or b) our pro rata share of 2% of the outstanding regular limited partner interests in Castex Energy 2005, LP, or Castex, (0.67% net to us).  Castex elected to pay us in PIK for more than two consecutive quarters, causing the return on the initial make-whole calculation to first increase from 12% to 13.5%.  Preferred unit holders had a put right starting on July 1, 2016, which we exercised on that date with respect to all of our preferred units. Castex had 90 days from the receipt of the put notice to redeem.  Castex did not redeem the preferred units within 90 days of the receipt of the put notice. As a result, the make-whole of 13.5% further increased by 4.5%, to 18%, we are entitled to board observation rights as a preferred unit holder, and other covenants apply. If the preferred units are not redeemed within one year from the originally scheduled put closing date (which would be September 29, 2017), Castex and the limited partners must use commonly reasonable efforts to enter into, within 90 days, a 12% dollar denominated production payment transaction with the preferred unit holders exercising the put right, with a 3 year term for such production payment. If such production payment transaction is not consummated within 90 days, Castex must use all available resources to repay preferred units and the preferred return steps up to 25% from that point forward. Amounts shown for principal and cost include PIK dividends that have been added to the principal balance. During the first quarter of 2017, we placed our investment in Castex on non-accrual status based on our March 31, 2017 valuation, which reflects a determination that future payments received from this investment will no longer be sufficient to cover all of the contractual principal and dividend amounts on this investment. The entity through which Castex produces and develops oil and natural gas may undergo a restructuring, bankruptcy, asset sale, or other transaction that could adversely affect the fair value of our investment in Castex, and our expected return. There is no guarantee that the outcome of such a transaction would be favorable to us, or would enhance the value of our preferred LP interest. We are subject to the risk that Castex or its creditors may make business decisions with which we disagree, and that the management may take risks or otherwise act in ways that are adverse to our interests.

|(5) | We have determined that this investment is not a “qualifying asset” under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the 1940 Act.

|(7) | During the fourth quarter of 2016, we executed a series of amendments to our note purchase and security agreement with OCI Holdings, LLC, or OCI, to allow the company to PIK its LIBOR+12% cash interest for November and December 2016. Also, default interest of $0.1 million and current unpaid interest of $0.4 million was added to the principal balance in the fourth quarter 2016. Effective January 31, 2017, we executed a seventh amendment to our note purchase and security agreement with OCI to allow the company to PIK its LIBOR+12% cash interest through March 31, 2017. OCI remains in financial covenant default and while in default, we are earning an additional 2% cash interest and 2% PIK interest.

|(8) | By the terms of our original investment, upon redemption, we were due the outstanding face amount of $50 million, any unpaid and accrued dividends, plus an option to elect to receive either: a) a cash payment resulting in a total 12% return or make-whole (inclusive of the 8% cash distributions even if not paid), or b) our pro rata share of 2% of the outstanding regular limited partner interests in Castex Energy 2005, LP, or Castex, (0.67% net to us).  Castex elected to pay us in PIK for more than two consecutive quarters, causing the return on the initial make-whole calculation to first increase from 12% to 13.5%.  Preferred unit holders had a put right starting on July 1, 2016, which we exercised on that date with respect to all of our preferred units. Castex had 90 days from the receipt of the put notice to redeem.  Castex did not redeem the preferred units within 90 days of the receipt of the put notice. As a result, the make-whole of 13.5% further increased by 4.5%, to 18%, we are entitled to board observation rights as a preferred unit holder, and other covenants apply. If the preferred units are not redeemed within one year from the originally scheduled put closing date (which would be September 29, 2017), Castex and the limited partners must use commonly reasonable efforts to enter into, within 90 days, a 12% dollar denominated production payment transaction with the preferred unit holders exercising the put right, with a 3 year term for such production payment. If such production payment transaction is not consummated within 90 days, Castex must use all available resources to repay preferred units and the preferred return steps up to 25% from that point forward. Amounts shown for principal and cost include PIK dividends that have been added to the principal balance.

The third amendment also included the addition of 0.50% payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest effective after June 30, 2015. Effective September 23, 2015, we executed a fourth amendment to our credit agreement with Shoreline to increase PIK interest to 1.75%.

OHA INVESTMENT CORPORATION


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


June 30, 2017


(unaudited)








Note 1: Organization


These consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of OHA Investment Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “we,” “us,” “our” and “OHAI”). We are a specialty finance company that was organized in July 2004 as a Maryland corporation. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments that at times may have certain equity components. We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or a BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the 1940 Act. For federal income tax purposes we operate so as to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. We have several direct and indirect subsidiaries that are single-member limited liability companies and wholly-owned limited partnerships established to hold certain portfolio investments or provide services to us in accordance with specific rules prescribed for a company operating as a RIC. We consolidate the financial results of our wholly-owned subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes, and we do not consolidate the financial results of our portfolio companies.


On September 30, 2014, our stockholders approved the appointment of Oak Hill Advisors, L.P., or OHA, as our new investment advisor, replacing NGP Investment Advisor, LP, which had been our investment advisor since our inception. In connection with this change in investment advisor, we changed our name from NGP Capital Resources Company to OHA Investment Corporation. OHA is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or the Advisers Act. OHA acts as our investment advisor and administrator pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and an administration agreement, respectively, each dated as of September 30, 2014, which we refer to as the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, respectively. See Note 4.











Note 2: Basis of Presentation


These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OHAI and its consolidated subsidiaries. The effects of all intercompany transactions between OHAI and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.


We prepare the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company is an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Company ("ASC 946"). Under the investment company rules and regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and ASC 946, the Company is precluded from consolidating portfolio company investments, including those in which it has a controlling interest, unless the portfolio company is another investment company. An exception to the general principle occurs if the Company holds a controlling interest in an operating company that provides all or substantially all of its services directly to the Company or to its portfolio companies. None of the portfolio investments made by the Company qualify for this exception. Therefore, the Company's investment portfolio is carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.


We omit certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe we include all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature, so that these financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. You should read these unaudited consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .


Preparing interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, including the estimated fair values of our investment portfolio discussed in Note 7. Although we believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.


Distributions

 (unaudited)





We record distributions to stockholders on the ex-dividend date. We currently intend that our distributions each year will be sufficient to maintain our status as a RIC for federal income tax purposes and to eliminate federal excise tax liability. We currently intend to make distributions to stockholders on a quarterly basis so that substantially all of our net taxable income is distributed on an annual basis. We also intend to make distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. However, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment and designate such retained amounts as deemed distributions. Each quarter, we estimate our annual taxable earnings. The Board of Directors considers this estimate and determines the distribution amount, if any. We generally declare our distributions each quarter and pay them shortly thereafter. The following table summarizes our recent distribution history:

Note 3: Credit Facilities and Borrowings


We are party to a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Facility"), dated September 9, 2016, with MidCap Financial Trust, as administrative agent, which replaced our prior Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Investment Facility"), as amended, with SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent. As of June 30, 2017 , the size of Credit Facility was $56.5 million with a maturity date of March 9, 2018, which can be extended for a six-month period at our option, subject to certain conditions. The initial proceeds of $40.5 million from the Credit Facility were used to pay off the $38.5 million outstanding balance on the Investment Facility, pay transaction expenses and provide balance sheet cash. The remaining $16.0 million consists of a delayed draw term loan, which is committed for one year, and is available to us to grow our investment portfolio and operate our business.


As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the total amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $40.5 million with $16.0 million available to draw. The total amount outstanding on the Credit Facility is shown net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.8 million and $1.4 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Substantially all of our assets, except our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, are pledged as collateral for the obligations under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility bears an interest rate of Adjusted LIBOR plus 5.35% for Eurodollar Loans, subject to a 1% LIBOR floor, and Base Rate plus 4.35% for Base Rate Loans. As of June 30, 2017 , the interest rate on our outstanding balance of $40.5 million was 6.40% .


The Credit Facility contains affirmative and reporting covenants and certain financial ratio and restrictive covenants. We have complied with these covenants from the date of the Credit Agreement through June 30, 2017 , and had no existing defaults or events of default under the Credit Facility. The financial covenants, with terms as defined in the Credit Agreement, are:

At the end of each quarter, we may take proactive steps to preserve investment flexibility for the next quarter by investing in cash equivalents, which includes purchasing U.S. Treasury Bills, by utilizing repurchase agreements on a temporary basis. On June 28, 2017, we purchased $45.0 million of U.S. Treasury Bills and contemporaneously entered into a $44.1 million repurchase arrangement with a global financial institution to finance such purchase. Under the repurchase arrangement, we transferred $45.0 million of U.S. Treasury Bills and $0.9 million of cash as collateral under the repurchase agreement. We

repaid the $44.1 million borrowed under the repurchase agreement, and was returned the $0.9 million cash collateral, net of a $12 thousand financing fee, upon maturity of the U.S. Treasury Bills on July 6, 2017 . We account for the transfer of the U.S. Treasury Bills under the repurchase agreement as a secured borrowing in accordance with GAAP. As a result, the U.S. Treasury Bills are recorded on our books as investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, and the amount borrowed under the repurchase agreement is recorded as short-term debt at June 30, 2017 .


On December 27, 2016, we purchased $40.0 million of U.S. Treasury Bills and contemporaneously entered into a $39.2 million repurchase arrangement with a global financial institution to finance such purchase. Under the repurchase arrangement, we transferred $40.0 million of U.S. Treasury Bills and $0.8 million of cash as collateral under the repurchase agreement. We repaid the $39.2 million borrowed under the repurchase agreement, and was returned the $0.8 million cash collateral, net of a $10 thousand financing fee, upon maturity of the U.S. Treasury Bills on January 5, 2017. We account for the transfer of the U.S. Treasury Bills under the repurchase agreement as a secured borrowing in accordance with GAAP. As a result, the U.S. Treasury Bills are recorded on our books as investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, and the amount borrowed under the repurchase agreement is recorded as short-term debt at December 31, 2016.








Note 4: Investment Management


Investment Advisory Agreement


On September 30, 2014, we entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with OHA, an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or Advisers Act, pursuant to which OHA replaced NGP Investment Advisor, LP as our investment advisor. The Investment Advisory Agreement was most recently approved by our Board of Directors, a majority of whom are not “interested” persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of us, on August 3, 2017. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, OHA implements our business strategy on a day-to-day basis and performs certain services for us subject to the supervision of our Board of Directors. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, we pay OHA a fee consisting of two components — a base management fee and an incentive fee.


Base Management Fee: The base management fee is paid quarterly in arrears and is calculated by multiplying the average value of our total assets (excluding cash, cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury Bills that are purchased with borrowed funds solely for the purpose of satisfying quarter-end diversification requirements related to our election to be taxed as a RIC under the Code), as of the end of the two immediately prior fiscal quarters, by a rate of 1.75% per annum, with a 0.25% reduction in this 1.75% annual rate for the first year following September 30, 2014. Three months ended June 30,  2017 and 2016 , we incurred $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in base management fees. For the six months ended June 30,  2017 and 2016 , we incurred $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in base management fees.


Incentive Fee: The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, the investment income incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the fiscal quarter for which the fee is being calculated. Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income, royalty payments, net profits interest payments, and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, syndication, structuring, diligence, monitoring and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the fiscal quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Accordingly, we may pay an incentive fee based partly on accrued investment income, the collection of which is uncertain or deferred. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses, or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets (defined as total assets less liabilities at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter) is compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7% annualized). OHA receives no incentive fee for any fiscal quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate. OHA receives an incentive fee equal to 100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income for any fiscal quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) of net assets (also referred to as the “catch up” provision) plus 20% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such fiscal quarter greater than 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) of net assets. For the three months ended June 30,  2017 and 2016 , we did not incur any investment income incentive fees. For the six months ended June 30,  2017 and 2016 , we incurred $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of investment income incentive fees.

OHA INVESTMENT CORPORATION

 June 30, 2017
 (unaudited)





The second part of the incentive fee, the capital gains fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or, upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date). The capital gains fee is equal to 20% of our cumulative aggregate realized capital gains from September 30, 2014 through the end of that fiscal year, computed net of our cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and cumulative aggregate unrealized depreciation on investments for the same time period. The aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees to OHA is subtracted from the capital gains incentive fee calculated. If such amount is negative, then there is no capital gains fee for such year. For the purposes of the capital gains fee, any gains and losses associated with our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2014 shall be excluded from the capital gains fee calculation. We have not incurred any capital gains fees since the Investment Advisory Agreement went into effect on September 30, 2014.


The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by a vote of our Board of Directors or a vote of the holders of at least a majority of our outstanding voting securities (within the meaning of the 1940 Act) on 60 days’ written notice to OHA, and would automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment” (within the meaning of the 1940 Act). OHA may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement without penalty by providing us at least 60 days’ written notice.


Administration Agreement


Under the Administration Agreement, OHA furnishes us with certain administrative services, personnel and facilities. The Administration Agreement was most recently approved by our Board of Directors on August 3, 2017. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to our allocable portion of OHA’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including all administrative services necessary for our operation and the conduct of our business. The Administration Agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by a vote of our Board of Directors or by OHA upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party.


We owed $0.0 million and $0.2 million to OHA under the Administration Agreement as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively, for expenses incurred on our behalf for the final month of the respective quarterly period. We include these amounts in due to affiliate on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.








Note 5: Federal Income Taxes


We operate so as to qualify, for tax purposes, as a RIC under Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code. As a RIC, we are generally not subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on the portion of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain (i.e., realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses) that we distribute to our stockholders. To qualify as a RIC, we are required, among other things, to distribute to our stockholders each year at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, and to meet certain asset-diversification requirements.


Certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, or Taxable Subsidiaries, have elected to be taxed as corporations for federal income tax purposes. The Taxable Subsidiaries hold certain of our portfolio investments and are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, but not for income tax reporting purposes. These Taxable Subsidiaries permit us to hold equity investments in portfolio companies that are “pass through” entities for tax purposes, in order to comply with the “source-of-income” requirements that must be satisfied to maintain our qualification as a RIC. The Taxable Subsidiaries may generate net income tax expense or benefit, which is reflected on our consolidated statements of operations.








Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies


As of June 30, 2017 , we had investments in 12 portfolio companies totaling $165.8 million . Of these 12 investments, the Company had already funded investments in the amount of $165.8 million and there were no remaining outstanding unfunded commitments. As of December 31, 2016, we had investments in 12 portfolio companies totaling $174.5 million. Of these 12 portfolio companies, the Company had already funded investments in the amount of $174.5 million and there were no remaining outstanding unfunded commitments.


We have continuing obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement with OHA. See Note 4. The agreements provide that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, OHA and its officers, managers, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with OHA will be entitled to indemnification from us for any

damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of services under the agreements or otherwise as our investment advisor or administrator. The agreements also provide that OHA and its affiliates will not be liable to us or any stockholder for any error of judgment, mistake of law, any loss or damage with respect to any of our investments or any action taken or omitted to be taken by OHA in connection with the performance of any of its duties or obligations under the agreements or otherwise as investment advisor or administrator to us, except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services. In the normal course of business, we enter into a variety of undertakings containing a variety of representations that may expose us to some risk of loss. We do not expect significant losses, if any, from such undertakings.


Legal Proceedings


From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings with certainty, we do not believe that an adverse result in any pending legal proceeding, other than those described below, individually or in the aggregate, would be material to our business, financial condition or cash flows.


ATP Litigation . On August 17, 2012, ATP Oil & Gas Corporation, or ATP, filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. Prior to the bankruptcy filing, we purchased limited term overriding royalty interests, or ORRIs, in certain offshore oil and gas producing properties operated by ATP (generally, the Gomez and Telemark properties). On August 23, 2012, on a motion filed by ATP, the bankruptcy judge presiding over ATP’s case signed an order (Bankr. Dkt. No. 191) requiring ATP to pay amounts received after August 17, 2012 to those parties it believes are entitled to receive them, including the ORRI holders, provided that the ORRI holders execute a disgorgement agreement providing for the repayment of any amounts that the bankruptcy court later finds to have been inappropriately paid. We executed the disgorgement agreement and began receiving monthly distributions in September 2012 from ATP of our share of production proceeds received by ATP after August 17, 2012.


Phase 1 .  On October 17, 2012, we filed a lawsuit against ATP styled: OHA Investment Corporation v. ATP Oil & Gas Corporation , Adv. Proc. No. 12-03443, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, seeking a declaration that the ORRIs are our property and not property of ATP and that the conveyance and purchase and sale documents are not executory contracts that may be rejected in order to remove or recharacterize our interests in the properties (the “Adversary Proceeding”). Also, certain service companies claiming statutory liens or privileges intervened for the purpose of establishing that their alleged statutory liens and privileges are superior to our rights in the ORRIs and asserting related claims for disgorgement of royalties paid to us by ATP. The issues in the Adversary Proceeding were bifurcated such that the issues of (i) whether the conveyances and transactions between us and ATP constituted outright transfers of ownership and (ii) whether the conveyances are executory contracts or leases that ATP may reject, would be tried first as “Phase 1” of the proceeding. And, any additional claims, including the service company statutory lien claims and related issues, would be decided later in “Phase 2.”  Phase 1 of the litigation proceeded into the discovery stage and dispositive motion practice.


On October 17, 2013, the bankruptcy court entered its Final Sale Order approving the sale of the Telemark properties (Bankr. Dkt. No. 2706) to Bennu Oil & Gas, LLC, or Bennu, a newly formed company owned by the DIP Lenders. (The Gomez properties were abandoned by ATP.)


After the bankruptcy case was converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, we settled Phase 1 of the litigation with the Trustee, Bennu and Credit Suisse AG, as agent to the DIP Lenders (Adv. Dkt. No. 270, 271). On February 4, 2016, an Agreed Final Judgment [Adv. Dkt. No. 276] was entered determining that, among other things, the ORRIs are a real property interest and a “production payment” within the meaning of Sections 101(42A) and 541(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Likewise, our claims against ATP were dismissed without prejudice. The Agreed Judgment resolved Phase 1 of the Adversary Proceeding. It did not address any disputes between us and Bennu with respect to the proper calculation of the investment balance under the terms of the ORRIs, including our legal fees, default interest, or the claims asserted by the statutory lien claimants. Additional detail on Phase 1 and the ATP bankruptcy is set forth in our Form 10Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2016.


Phase 2 .  On February 3, 2016, we filed our Amended Motion to Dismiss the Complaints in Intervention Filed by the Statutory Lien Claimants, which was subsequently amended [Adv. Dkt. No. 284]. The Amended Motion to Dismiss asserted, among other things, that under the terms of the applicable Louisiana Oil Well Lien Statute, the alleged statutory liens of the lien claimants either cannot attach to overriding royalties, or alternatively, that OHA purchased the ORRIs free and clear of the statutory liens because the lien claimants did not provide notice of the liens as required under the statute. We also filed a Motion





20

OHA INVESTMENT CORPORATION
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
 June 30, 2017
 (unaudited)





to Withdraw the Reference of the Phase II Claims from the Bankruptcy Court to the District Court. On May 13, 2016, the Court entered its order granting in part and denying in part OHA’s Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Withdraw Reference [Adv. Dkt. No. 294] and its Report and Recommendation and Memorandum Opinion [Adv. Dkt. No. 293]. Pursuant to the Memorandum Opinion and the Order, the Court determined that under the Louisiana statute, if we purchased our ORRIs without notice of the lien claimants’ liens, in a bona fide transaction, we would take the ORRIs free and clear of the lien claimants’ rights. The Court granted the lien claimants leave to file amended complaints to specifically plead whether we had notice of their alleged privileges at the time we paid the purchase price. To that end, the Court stated that the Amended Motion to Dismiss was denied as to all issues other than the issue of whether we had notice of the lien claimants’ liens and that the Court would review the amended complaints (to determine whether they sufficiently pleaded a claim) [Adv. Dkt. No. 294]. The Bankruptcy Court recommended that the District Court grant the Motion to Withdraw the Reference, but that the Adversary Proceeding remain in the Bankruptcy Court until the time of trial. The District Court entered an order consistent with the Bankruptcy Court’s recommendation on the Motion to Withdraw the Reference.


On May 27, 2016, the Intervenors filed their amended complaints, which made new allegations with respect to the issue of notice. Accordingly, on June 9, 2016, we filed our Motion to Dismiss the amended complaints [Adv. Dkt. No. 310] asserting that the allegations regarding notice are insufficient to state a claim under the statute.


On August 19, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered its order [Adv. Dkt. No. 325] and its related Report and Recommendation [Adv. Dkt. No. 326]  dismissing, with prejudice, the Intervenors’ amended complaints. The Bankruptcy Court’s order and the related Report and Recommendation recommends, to the District Court, that Phase II of the lawsuit be fully resolved in our favor. The Report and Recommendation was docketed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Case No. 4:16-CV-02556. On September 2, 2016, certain of the Intervenors filed their Objection to Judge Isgur’s Report and Recommendation [Dist. Dkt. No. 3] arguing that the Bankruptcy Court’s conclusions were erroneous, and that the Intervenors were not required to give notice to OHA in order for their alleged liens to attach. We filed a limited objection to the Report and Recommendation arguing that the Report and Recommendation should be affirmed, but even if notice were not required under the statute, the Intervenors’ alleged liens could not have attached to the ORRIs in the first instance. On March 9, 2017, the District Court entered a Memorandum Opinion and Order [Dist. Dkt. No. 17] (the “District Court’s Order”) adopting the Bankruptcy Court’s Report and Recommendation and dismissing the Intervenors’ claims with prejudice.


On April 3, 2017, the Intervenors filed their notice to appeal the District Court’s Order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On April 11, 2017, we filed a notice of (protective) cross appeal in order to preserve our alternative bases for dismissal which were denied by the Bankruptcy Court and District Court. The matter remains pending before the Fifth Circuit under Case No. 17-20224. The parties are briefing the issues for appellate review.


As of June 30, 2017 , our unrecovered investment was $33.4 million , and we had received aggregate royalty payments of $37.5 million since the date of ATP’s bankruptcy filing. As of June 30, 2017 , we had incurred legal and consulting fees totaling $6.0 million in connection with the enforcement of our rights under the ORRIs. On various occasions, we have provided notice that such legal expenses will be added to our unrecovered investment balance to the extent they are not reimbursed. To date, we have not received any payments on account of legal expenses aside from our receipt of regular monthly production payments. As a result, we add our legal expenses to the unrecovered investment balance in accordance with our transaction documents. As of June 30, 2017 , $5.4 million of the $6.0 million in legal and consulting fees have been added to, and are thus included in the unrecovered investment balance under the terms of our transaction documents. No legal expenses have been added to our unrecovered investment balance during the three months and six months ended  June 30, 2017 . We note that the fair value of our investment in ATP ORRI remains at $0 as of June 30, 2017 due to the cessation of monthly production payments beginning in December 2016.


Through June 30, 2017 , we received post-petition royalty payments from the Gomez properties and the Telemark properties in the amount of $8.3 million and $29.2 million , respectively. It is estimated that the statutory lien claims asserted by the intervenors in the Adversary Proceeding against our ORRIs are in the principal amount of approximately $35.2 million. At this time, we estimate that there are potential statutory lien claims (including the claims of the intervenors in the Adversary Proceeding, without regard to the validity of such claims) in the principal amount of approximately $54.2 million. To the extent the District Court’s Order is reversed on appeal, we have or will assert that we have viable defenses with respect to all of the claims of the statutory lien claimants or any other claim which seeks to avoid or disgorge any pre-petition or post-petition royalty payment which we received in respect of the Telemark or Gomez properties. In the event that the District Court’s Order is reversed on appeal, and to the extent we do not prevail on our defenses to the statutory lien claims or any other claim seeking to avoid or disgorge pre-petition or post-petition royalty payments, we contend that, pursuant to the terms of our transaction

OHA INVESTMENT CORPORATION

 (unaudited)





documents, we are entitled to include any amounts disgorged on account of any such claims into the unrecovered investment balance of our ORRIs. Moreover, to the extent we do not prevail on our defenses to any action brought by the holder of a statutory lien claim, we contend that we would be permitted to seek contribution from other ORRI and net profits interest holders with respect to any disgorged amounts.


However, in the event the District Court’s Order is reversed on appeal and our defenses to the claims of the statutory lien claimants are unsuccessful or we otherwise become liable for disgorgement of any pre-petition or post-petition royalty payments which we have received from either the Gomez or Telemark properties, the remaining oil and gas reserves associated with the Telemark properties may be insufficient to provide for a full recovery on our investment. In the event that it is determined that we are not entitled to include amounts disgorged on account of statutory lien claims or other claims, if any, into the unrecovered investment balance of our ORRIs, any disgorged amounts will result in a failure to achieve our anticipated return and/or a loss on our investment.


While we intend to vigorously defend our legal positions in the Adversary Proceeding, there can be no assurance that we will ultimately prevail in any or all of these matters.


Bennu Titan Bankruptcy .  On August 11, 2016, an involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition was filed by Beal Bank USA against Bennu Titan LLC (formerly known as ATP Titan LLC), an indirect subsidiary of Bennu Oil & Gas, LLC, and the owner of the floating production platform in the Gulf of Mexico that processes and transports hydrocarbons produced from the Telemark properties, in which OHA owns the ORRI. An order for relief was entered on September 9, 2016, in the case styled In re Bennu Titan LLC (f/k/a ATP Titan LLC) , Case No. 16-11870, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. We are not a creditor in this bankruptcy case.


Bennu Oil & Gas Bankruptcy .  On November 30, 2016, Bennu Oil & Gas, LLC filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Case No. 16-35930. Two of its affiliates, Bennu Blocker, Inc., Case No. 16-35931, and Bennu Holdings, LLC, Case No. 16-35932, likewise filed on that date.


On November 30, 2016, Bennu Oil & Gas, LLC moved to reject the Platform Use Agreement with Bennu Titan, LLC for the drilling and production platform commonly known as the Titan Platform. On January 4, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the rejection of the Platform Use Agreement effective November 30, 2016.


On January 26, 2017, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court entered an order transferring the Bennu Titan case to the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas so that the affiliated cases will be in the same court.


The “meeting of creditors” in the Bennu Oil & Gas bankruptcy case was held on January 26, 2017. The Chapter 7 Trustee reported that she is in the process of working with the Bennu Oil & Gas lenders on a plan to market the leases including the Telemark properties.


On July 12, 2017, the Chapter 7 Trustee filed a motion to approve auction and bidding procedures and for other relief relating to a proposed sale of the “Clipper Assets” [Bankr. Dkt. No. 144], which do not include Telemark properties.  The motion provides an overview of the Trustee efforts to market and sell the estate’s assets to date.  It is our understanding that no agreements have been reached to sell the Telemark properties, and it is unknown whether they will ultimately be sold.


Status of Telemark Leases .  The Telemark properties are comprised of three leases:  Mississippi Canyon Block 942 known as OCS-G 24130 (“ MC 942 ”); Mississippi Canyon Block 941 known as OCS-G 16661 (“ MC 941 ”); and Atwater Valley Block 63 known as OCS-G 13198 (“ AT 63 ”). At the meeting of creditors, Bennu officers testified that the well on the AT 63 lease stopped producing in May 2016. Prior to filing bankruptcy, Bennu Oil & Gas shut in all of the wells on the other two Telemark leases on November 30, 2016. The leases will expire in 180 days from the date of last production unless production is resumed or the BOEM grants a deferral of the requirement to produce (known as a Suspense of Operations (“SOO”) or Suspense of Production (“SOP”). Bennu Oil & Gas applied for SOPs MC 941, MC942 and AT 63. The SOP requests are pending, but there is no assurance that the government will grant the request.

We account for all of the assets in our investment portfolio at fair value, following the provisions of the FASB ASC Fair Value Measurements , or ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.


On a quarterly basis, the investment team of our investment advisor prepares fair value recommendations for all of the assets in our portfolio in accordance with ASC 820 and presents them to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. The Audit Committee recommends fair values of each asset for which market quotations are not readily available to our Board of Directors, which in good faith determines the final fair value for each investment.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that a seller would receive for an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date. The fair value definition focuses on exit price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes the use of observable market inputs over unobservable entity-specific inputs. In accordance with ASC 820, we categorize our investments based on the inputs to our valuation methodologies as follows:


|  |                                                                                                                                  
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|• | Level 1— Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which we have access at the date of measurement.

|  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|• | Level 2— Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.

|  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|• | Level 3— Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect our own assumptions regarding what market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

Fair value accounting classifies financial assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the estimated fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment that may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. We did not have any liabilities measured at fair value at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016 .  Amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility are carried at amortized cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As of June 30, 2017 , the estimated fair value of our Credit Facility approximated its carrying value of $39.7 million . As of December 31, 2016 , the fair value of our Credit Facility approximated its carry value of $39.1 million . The estimated fair value of the Credit Facility is determined by discounting projected remaining payments using market interest rates for borrowings of the Company.


We record investments in securities for which market quotations are readily available at such market quotations in our financial statements as of the valuation date. For investments in securities for which market quotations are unavailable, or which have various degrees of trading restrictions, the investment team of our investment advisor prepares valuation analyses and fair value estimates, using the most recently available financial statements, forecasts and, when applicable, comparable transaction data. These valuation analyses rely on estimates of the asset values and enterprise values of portfolio companies issuing securities.


The methodologies for determining asset valuations include estimates based on: the liquidation or sale value of a portfolio company’s assets, the discounted value of expected future net cash flows from the assets and third party valuations of a portfolio company’s assets, such as asset appraisal reports, futures prices and engineering reserve reports of oil and natural gas properties. The investment team of our investment advisor considers some or all of the above valuation methods to determine the estimated asset value of a portfolio company.


The methodologies for determining enterprise valuations include estimates based on: valuations of comparable companies, recent sales of comparable companies, the value of recent investments in the equity securities of a portfolio company and on the methodologies used for asset valuations. The investment team of our investment advisor considers some or all of the above valuation methods to determine the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company.


The methodologies for determining estimated current market values of comparable securities include estimates based on: recent initial offerings of comparable securities of public and private companies; recent secondary market sales of comparable securities of public and private companies; current market implied interest rates for comparable securities in general; and current market implied interest rates for non-comparable securities in general, with adjustments for such elements as size of issue, terms, and liquidity. The investment team of our investment advisor considers some or all of the above valuation methods to determine the estimated current market value of a comparable security.


For some of our securities, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 valuation inputs) or other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayments, credit risk, etc. (Level 2 valuation inputs) are readily available from independent sources and are used to value such securities. For other securities, there will be no readily available Level 1 or Level 2 pricing information, and therefore significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 valuation inputs), including the assumptions of OHA, must be relied upon in determining fair value for these securities.

If prices or quotes for securities are either not readily available, or a price or quote is deemed not reflective of the security’s fair market value, we employ a fair valuation technique for that security.  In determining the fair value of a security, we may take into consideration (either individually or in combination) the financial condition and operating results of the underlying portfolio company, nature of the investment, restrictions on marketability, liquidity, market conditions, earnings multiple analyses using comparable companies, discounted cash flow analyses, appraisals, and other factors we deem appropriate.


Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the fair values of our investments may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Additionally, changes in the market environment, portfolio company performance and other events that may occur over the lives of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on our investments to be materially different than the valuations currently assigned.


We occasionally have investments in our portfolio that contain payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest or dividend provisions. We compute PIK interest income or PIK dividend income at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement, and we add that amount to the principal balance of the investment. For investments with PIK interest or PIK dividends, we calculate our income accruals on the principal balance plus any PIK amounts. If the portfolio company’s projected cash flows, further supported by estimated total enterprise value, are not sufficient to cover the contractual principal and interest or dividend amounts, as applicable, we do not accrue PIK interest income or PIK dividend income on the investment. To maintain our RIC status, we must pay out this non-cash income to stockholders in the form of distributions, even though we have not yet collected the cash. We recorded net PIK interest income of $0.8 million and $0.1 million in the three months ended  June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $1.6 million and $0.3 million in the six months ended  June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. We recorded PIK dividend income from our investment in Castex Energy 2005, LP, of $0.0 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended  June 30, 2017 , and 2016 , respectively, and $0.0 million and $2.3 million in the six months ended  June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. During the first quarter of 2017, we placed our investment in Castex on non-accrual status based on our March 31, 2017 valuation, which reflected a determination that future payments received from this investment will no longer be sufficient to cover all of the contractual principal and dividend amounts on this investment.

As noted above, the income and market approaches were used in the determination of fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2017 . The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach are the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include future principal and interest payments. An increase in the discount rate or market yield would result in a decrease in the fair value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the market approach are based on market comparable transactions and market multiples of publicly traded comparable companies. Increases or decreases in market multiples would result in an increase or decrease, respectively in the fair value.











Note 8: Common Stock


On October 31, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, repurchase up to $10.0 million of our common stock in the open market at prices not to exceed the net asset value of our shares. During 2012 and 2013, we repurchased an aggregate of 1,129,014 shares of our common stock in the open market at an average price of $6.71 per share, totaling $7.6 million, in accordance with the stock repurchase plan.

Overview


We are a specialty finance company designed to provide our investors with current income and capital appreciation. We focus primarily on providing creative direct lending solutions to middle market private companies across industry sectors. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments that at times may have certain equity components. Our investment activities are managed by OHA and supervised by our Board of Directors, the majority of whose members are independent of OHA and its affiliates.


OHA (and its affiliated investment advisors and predecessor firms) continues to build on its over 20-year history of investing in various asset classes and believes that its past success is a reflection of the firm’s consistent investment philosophy, strategy and process. As our investment advisor, OHA seeks to expand our portfolio’s exposure to a broader range of industries beyond energy, focusing on the middle market. OHA believes that middle market companies are generally less able to secure financing from public financial markets than larger companies and thus offer better return opportunities for firms able to originate and structure these investments, along with conducting the necessary diligence to appropriately evaluate these opportunities.


OHA expects that most of our new investments will be in senior and junior secured, unsecured and subordinated debt securities in U.S. private and small public middle market companies with maturities ranging from three to seven years. However, OHA seeks to identify attractive investments throughout the capital structure and thus may invest in equity, distressed

debt, residual interests of collateralized loan obligation funds, or CLOs, and other assets. We may invest in newly issued securities and acquire investments in the secondary market. We do not currently intend to invest in mortgage-related structured products.


On September 30, 2014, our stockholders approved the appointment of OHA as our investment advisor, replacing NGP Investment Advisor, LP, which had been our investment advisor since our inception. In connection with this change in investment advisor, we changed our name from NGP Capital Resources Company to OHA Investment Corporation. OHA is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. OHA acts as our investment advisor and administrator pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and an administration agreement, respectively, each dated as of September 30, 2014, which we refer to as the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, respectively.


The aggregate fair value of our investment portfolio at June 30, 2017 was $84.5 million , with such value comprised of 12 active portfolio investments compared to 10 active portfolio investments at September 30, 2014. Under our previous investment advisor, we focused our investments primarily on small and mid-size companies engaged in the upstream sector of the energy industry, which includes businesses that find, develop and extract energy resources, such as natural gas, crude oil and coal. Consequently, a significant portion of our current investment portfolio value is comprised of debt securities and other investments in upstream exploration and production companies engaged in the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas properties in and along the Gulf Coast, and in the state and federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico.


Part of our current investment approach is to reduce our exposure to  in the energy industry and to diversify our portfolio with investments in debt securities of U.S. private and small public middle market companies across various industry sectors. The exposure of our investment portfolio to the energy sector decreased to 18% at June 30, 2017 from 74% at September 30, 2014, on a fair value basis.


Our historical focus and current concentration in the energy sector causes our portfolio to be particularly influenced by commodity prices for oil and natural gas, which declined dramatically during the fourth quarter of 2014 and remain significantly lower than they have been in recent years. Further decline in commodity prices or increased volatility in the energy markets, particularly in North America, may further significantly affect the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of our energy-related portfolio companies and their ability to meet financial commitments, which would negatively impact the fair values of our energy-related investments in such companies and, in turn, our net asset value. These factors may also extend the holding period for such investments, thus impacting our ability to reduce the portfolio exposure to energy investments.


Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors. Some of these factors are the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of acquisition and divestiture activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make, and our own ability to raise capital to fund our investments, both through the issuance of debt and equity securities. If a substantial portion of our investment portfolio were to be realized in the near term, no assurance can be given that OHA will be able to source sufficient appropriate investments for us to timely replace the investment income from the realized investments.








Portfolio and 2017 Investment Activity


In February 2017, Royal Holdings, Inc. repaid part of its second lien term loan in the amount of $4.5 million. We recorded previously unamortized discount of $30,000 and 1% call premium of $45,000 as additional interest income and other investment income, respectively, as a result of this repayment.


In March 2017, we purchased a $10.0 million second lien term loan to Equinox Holdings, Inc. (Equinox), a leading operator of upscale fitness clubs and spas. The second lien term loan to Equinox was purchased at a 0.75% discount, earns interest payable in cash at a rate of 8% per annum (LIBOR+7.0% with a 1% floor) and matures in September 2024. Subsequently in March 2017, we sold $3.0 million of the second lien at an average price of 101.5% of par resulting in a realized capital gain of $68,000.


Also in March 2017, we sold $0.5 million of the second lien term loan of Berlin Packaging, LLC at a price of 101.0% of par, resulting in a realized capital gain of $23,000.


In May 2017, Talos Production, LLC repaid a portion of its senior unsecured notes in the amount of $0.5 million at par.


In June 2017, we purchased a $1.4 million second lien term loan to PAE Holding Corporation, or PAE, adding to our $5.5 million position that was previously acquired in November 2016. The $1.4 million PAE loan was purchased at a 1% discount and earns interest payable in cash at a rate of 10.50% per annum (LIBOR+9.50% with a 1% floor) and matures in October 2023.

Investments are considered to be fully realized when the original investment at the security level has been fully exited.  Internal rate of return, or IRR, is a measure of our discounted cash flows (inflows and outflows). Specifically, IRR is the discount rate at which the net present value of all cash flows is equal to zero. That is, IRR is the discount rate at which the present value of total capital invested in our investments is equal to the present value of all realized returns from the investments. Our IRR calculations are unaudited.  Capital invested, with respect to an investment, represents the aggregate cost of the investment, net of any upfront fees paid at closing. Realized returns, with respect to an investment, represents the total cash received with respect to an investment, including all amortization payments, interest, dividends, prepayment fees, administrative fees, amendment fees, accrued interest, and other fees and proceeds. Gross IRR, with respect to an investment, is calculated based on the dates that we invested capital and dates we received distributions.  Gross IRR reflects historical results relating to our past performance and is not necessarily indicative of our future results. In addition, gross IRR does not reflect the effect of management fees, expenses, incentive fees or taxes borne, or to be borne, by us or our stockholders, and would be lower if it did.


The table below shows our portfolio investments by type for the periods indicated. We compute yields on investments using interest rates as of the balance sheet date and include amortization of original issue discount and market premium or discount, royalty income and other similar investment income, weighted by their respective costs when averaged. Such weighted average yields are not necessarily indicative of expected total returns on a portfolio.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the total fair value of our portfolio investments was $84.5 million and $105.0 million , respectively. Of those fair value totals, approximately $35.7 million , or 42.2% , as of June 30, 2017 , and $60.9 million, or 58.0%, as of December 31, 2016 are determined using significant unobservable (i.e., Level 3) inputs.

Interest expense and bank fees increased by 0.9% to $1.0 million from $1.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year largely due to higher borrowing costs partially offset by decreased weighted average debt outstanding of $17.4 million. Management and incentive fees decreased by 35.3% to $0.5 million from $0.8 million due to lower base management fees as a result of lower average asset base subject to the base management fee. Professional fees decreased by 40.1% to $0.4 million from $0.7 million due to lower legal fees and audit related expenses in the 2017 period. Other general and administrative expenses decreased by 29.9% to $0.4 million from $0.5 million primarily due to a decrease in employee related expenses in the 2017 period.


For the six months ended  June 30, 2017 , operating expenses decreased by 27.5% to $4.6 million from $6.3 million . Interest expense and bank fees decreased by 5.1% to $2.0 million from $2.1 million compared to the same period in the prior year largely due to decreased weighted average debt outstanding of $21.6 million partially offset by higher borrowing costs.

Professional fees decreased by 51.6% to $0.7 million from $1.4 million due to lower legal fees and audit related expenses in the 2017 period. Other general and administrative expenses decreased by 27.3% to $0.8 million from $1.0 million primarily due to a decrease in employee related expenses in the 2017 period.


Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the investment income incentive fee is calculated quarterly at a rate of 20% of quarterly net investment income above a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7% annualized) with a “catch up” provision. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 we did not incur any investment income incentive fees. For the six months ended  June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 , we incurred investment income incentive fees of $0 and $100,000, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the increase in net unrealized depreciation our affiliate investments was attributable to a decrease in the fair value of our investments in OCI.


Non-Affiliate Investments


For the three months ended June 30, 2017 , the decrease in net unrealized depreciation on our non-affiliate investments was primarily attributable to the reversal of $12.7 million unrealized depreciation, due to realization, of our investment in Shoreline. The decrease in net unrealized depreciation was partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of our investments in Castex of $4.7 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the increase in net unrealized depreciation on our non-affiliate investments was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our investments in Castex of $1.4 million, Shoreline of $2.7 million, TIBCO Software, Inc., of $0.8 million and other investments totaling a net of $0.5 million. This was partially offset by an increase in fair value of our investments in ATP of $1.8 million, Gramercy Park CLO Ltd., or Gramercy, of $0.8 million, Talos Production LLC, or Talos, of $0.6 million and other investments totaling a net $0.8 million.


For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the decrease in net unrealized depreciation on our non-affiliate investments was primarily attributable to a decrease in the fair value of our investments in Castex of $25.9 million. This was partially offset by the reversal of $12.7 million unrealized depreciation, due to realization, of our investment in Shoreline. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the increase in net unrealized depreciation on our non-affiliate investments was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our investments in Castex of $7.4 million, Shoreline of $8.6 million, Talos of $0.9 million, Royal Holdings Inc. of $0.6 million and other investments totaling a net of $0.9 million. This was partially offset by an increase in fair value of our investment in ATP of $1.7 million and KOVA of $1.0 million.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources


Cash Flows


At June 30, 2017 , we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $12.0 million . Our portfolio may consist of temporary investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, repurchase agreements, money market funds or repurchase agreement-like treasury securities. These temporary investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are deemed cash equivalents and are included in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. At the end of each fiscal quarter, we may take proactive steps to preserve investment flexibility for the next quarter by investing in cash equivalents, which is dependent upon the composition of our total assets at quarter-end. We may accomplish this in several ways, including purchasing U.S. Treasury Bills and closing out positions on a net cash basis after quarter-end, drawing down on an investment or credit facility, or utilizing repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions as are deemed appropriate for this purpose. These amounts are excluded from adjusted gross assets for purposes of computing the Investment Adviser's base management fee.


During the six months ended  June 30, 2017 , we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $4.5 million . During the period, our operating activities used $7.8 million in cash, consisting of $11.3 million purchases of new investments in portfolio securities, partially offset by $10.4 million provided by proceeds from redemptions of investments in

portfolio securities. Financing activities provided cash of $3.3 million , consisting net borrowings under repurchase agreement of $4.9 million partially offset by cash distributions paid to our stockholders in the amount of $1.6 million .


During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $11.8 million. During the period, our operating activities provided $45.9 million in cash, consisting of $16.6 million from proceeds from redemptions of investments in portfolio securities, net proceeds from investments in US Treasury Bills of $35.0 million, partially offset by $5.7 million used to settle payables. Financing activities used cash of $57.6 million, consisting of $28.2 million repayments on revolving credit facilities, net repayments of $34.3 million under repurchase agreement and $3.6 million of cash distributions paid to our shareholders.





Credit Facilities and Borrowings


We are party to a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Facility"), dated September 9, 2016, with MidCap Financial Trust, as administrative agent, which replaced our prior Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Investment Facility"), as amended, with SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent. As of June 30, 2017 , the size of Credit Facility was $56.5 million with a maturity date of March 9, 2018, which can be extended for a six-month period at our option, subject to certain conditions. The initial proceeds of $40.5 million from the Credit Facility were used to pay off the $38.5 million outstanding balance on the Investment Facility, pay transaction expenses and provide balance sheet cash. The remaining $16.0 million consists of a delayed draw term loan, which is committed for one year, and is available to us to grow our investment portfolio and operate our business.


As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the total amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $40.5 million with $16.0 million available to draw. The total amount outstanding on the Credit Facility is shown net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.8 million and $1.4 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Substantially all of our assets, except our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, are pledged as collateral for the obligations under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility bears an interest rate of Adjusted LIBOR plus 5.35% for Eurodollar Loans, subject to a 1% LIBOR floor, and Base Rate plus 4.35% for Base Rate Loans. As of June 30, 2017 , the interest rate on our outstanding balance of $40.5 million was 6.40% .


The Credit Facility contains affirmative and reporting covenants and certain financial ratio and restrictive covenants. We have complied with these covenants from the date of the Credit Agreement through June 30, 2017 , and had no existing defaults or events of default under the Credit Facility. The financial covenants, with terms as defined in the Credit Agreement, are:

At the end of each quarter, we may take proactive steps to preserve investment flexibility for the next quarter by investing in cash equivalents, which includes purchasing U.S. Treasury Bills, by utilizing repurchase agreements on a temporary basis. On June 28, 2017, we purchased $45.0 million of U.S. Treasury Bills and contemporaneously entered into a $44.1 million repurchase arrangement with a global financial institution to finance such purchase. Under the repurchase arrangement, we transferred $45.0 million of U.S. Treasury Bills and $0.9 million of cash as collateral under the repurchase agreement. We repaid the $44.1 million borrowed under the repurchase agreement, and was returned the $0.9 million cash collateral, net of a $12 thousand financing fee, upon maturity of the U.S. Treasury Bills on July 6, 2017 . We account for the transfer of the U.S. Treasury Bills under the repurchase agreement as a secured borrowing in accordance with GAAP. As a result, the U.S. Treasury Bills are recorded on our books as investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, and the amount borrowed under the repurchase agreement is recorded as short-term debt at June 30, 2017 .


On December 27, 2016, we purchased $40.0 million of U.S. Treasury Bills and contemporaneously entered into a $39.2 million repurchase arrangement with a global financial institution to finance such purchase. Under the repurchase arrangement, we transferred $40.0 million of U.S. Treasury Bills and $0.8 million of cash as collateral under the repurchase agreement. We repaid the $39.2 million borrowed under the repurchase agreement, and was returned the $0.8 million cash collateral, net of a $10 thousand financing fee, upon maturity of the U.S. Treasury Bills on January 5, 2017. We account for the transfer of the U.S. Treasury Bills under the repurchase agreement as a secured borrowing in accordance with GAAP. As a result, the U.S. Treasury Bills are recorded on our books as investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, and the amount borrowed under the repurchase agreement is recorded as short-term debt at December 31, 2016.

Distributions


We have elected to operate our business to be taxed as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, we generally are not required to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders as distributions. To maintain our RIC status, we must meet specific source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute annually an amount equal to at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income” (which generally consists of ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, reduced by deductible expenses) and net tax-exempt interest. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income (i.e., realized capital gains in excess of realized capital losses) for the one-year period ended on October 31 of that calendar year, and (3) 100% of any ordinary income or capital gain net income not distributed in prior years and on which we did not pay corporate-level federal income taxes. We currently intend to make sufficient distributions to satisfy the annual distribution requirement and to avoid the excise taxes.


We determine the tax characteristics of our distributions to stockholders as of the end of the fiscal year, based on the taxable income for the full year and distributions paid during the year. Taxable income available for distribution differs from consolidated net investment income under GAAP due to (i) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, (ii) capital gains and losses, (iii) activity at taxable subsidiaries, and (iv) the timing and period of recognition regarding distributions declared in December of one year and paid in January of the following year. We (or the applicable withholding agent) report the tax characteristics of distributions paid annually to each stockholder on Form 1099-DIV after the end of the year.


We may not achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage test for borrowings when applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act and due to provisions in our Investment Facility. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our status as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions or distributions at any specific level.








Portfolio Credit Quality


At June 30, 2017 , a significant portion of our portfolio investments were in negotiated, and often illiquid, securities of middle market businesses, with a significant exposure to the energy industry. As of June 30, 2017 , we had certain investments related to two portfolio companies on non-accrual status with an aggregate cost and fair value of $84.2 million and $7.6 million , respectively. Effective July 1, 2015, ATP was placed on non-accrual status based on estimated future production payments, and income is recognized to the extent cash received. During the first quarter of 2017, we placed our investment in Castex on non-accrual status based on our March 31, 2017 valuation, which reflects a determination that future payments received from this investment will no longer be sufficient to cover all of the contractual principal and dividend amounts on this investment.


Our portfolio investments at fair value were approximately 51.0% and 60.2% of the related cost basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.

From time to time we could have unused commitments to extend credit to our portfolio companies. Generally, the commitments have fixed expiration dates, and we do not fund the entire amounts before they expire. Therefore, these commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, and we do not report the unused portions of these commitments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We did not have any unused credit commitments at June 30, 2017 .
