In general, under the Investment Company Act, the Company would “Control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities (i.e., securities with the right to elect directors) and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. All of the Company’s portfolio company investments, which as of March 31, 2014 represented 159% of the Company’s net assets or 95% of the Company’s total assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales.

*                               Together with GE Global Sponsor Finance LLC and General Electric Capital Corporation (together, “GE”), the Company co-invests through the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC d/b/a the “Senior Secured Loan Program” (the “SSLP”). The SSLP is capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of the Company and GE (with approval from a representative of each required); therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of the SSLP, the Company does not believe that it has control over the SSLP (for purposes of the Investment Company Act or otherwise) because, among other things, these “voting securities” do not afford the Company the right to elect directors of the SSLP or any other special rights (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

 

(8)                       Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets.

 

(9)                       Excepted from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets.

 

(10)                In the first quarter of 2011, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) informally communicated to certain business development companies the Staff’s belief that certain entities, which would be classified as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act but for the exception from the definition of “investment company” set forth in Rule 3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, could not be treated as eligible portfolio companies (as defined in Section 2(a)(46) under the Investment Company Act) (i.e., not eligible to be included in a BDC’s 70% “qualifying assets” basket). Subsequently, in August 2011 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a concept release (the “Concept Release”) which stated that “[a]s a general matter, the Commission presently does not believe that Rule 3a-7 issuers are the type of small, developing and financially troubled businesses in which the U.S. Congress intended BDCs primarily to invest” and requested comment on whether or not a 3a-7 issuer should be considered an “eligible portfolio company”.  The Company provided a comment letter in respect of the Concept Release and continues to believe that the language of Section 2(a)(46) of the Investment Company Act permits a BDC to treat as “eligible portfolio companies” entities that rely on the 3a-7 exception. However, given the current uncertainty in this area (including the language in the Concept Release) and subsequent discussions with the Staff, the Company has, solely for purposes of calculating the composition of its portfolio pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act, identified such entities, which include the SSLP, as “non-qualifying assets” should the Staff ultimately disagree with the Company’s position.

 

(11)                Variable rate loans to the Company’s portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR or an alternate base rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrower’s option, which reset annually (A), semi-annually (S), quarterly (Q), bi-monthly (B), monthly (M) or daily (D). For each such loan, the Company has provided the interest rate in effect on the date presented.

 

(12)                In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest amount of 6.00% on $12 million aggregate principal amount of a “first out” tranche of the portfolio company’s senior term debt previously syndicated by the Company into “first out” and “last out” tranches, whereby the “first out” tranche will have priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder.

 

(13)                In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest amount of 3.00% on $15 million aggregate principal amount of a “first out” tranche of the portfolio

(1)                                 Other than the Company’s investments listed in footnote 7 below (subject to the limitations set forth therein), the Company does not “Control” any of its portfolio companies, for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”). In general, under the Investment Company Act, the Company would “Control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities (i.e., securities with the right to elect directors) and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. All of the Company’s portfolio company investments, which as of December 31, 2013 represented 156% of the Company’s net assets or 94% of the Company’s total assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales.

 

(2)                                 These assets are pledged as collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility and, as a result, are not directly available to the creditors of the Company to satisfy any obligations of the Company other than the Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).

 

(3)                                 These assets are owned by the Company’s consolidated subsidiary Ares Capital CP, are pledged as collateral for the Revolving Funding Facility and, as a result, are not directly available to the creditors of the Company to satisfy any obligations of the Company other than Ares Capital CP’s obligations under the Revolving Funding Facility (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).

 

(4)                                 These assets are owned by the Company’s consolidated subsidiary Ares Capital JB Funding LLC (“ACJB”), are pledged as collateral for the SMBC Funding Facility and, as a result, are not directly available to the creditors of the Company to satisfy any obligations of the Company other than ACJB’s obligations under the SMBC Funding Facility (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).

 

(5)                                 Investments without an interest rate are non income producing.

 

(6)                                 As defined in the Investment Company Act, the Company is deemed to be an “Affiliated Person” of a portfolio company because it owns 5% or more of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities or it has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company (including through a management agreement). Transactions during the year ended December 31, 2013 in which the issuer was an Affiliated Person (but not a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to Control) are as follows:

*                                         Together with GE Global Sponsor Finance LLC and General Electric Capital Corporation (together, “GE”), the Company co invests through the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC d/b/a the “Senior Secured Loan Program” (the “SSLP”). The SSLP is capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of the Company and GE (with approval from a representative of each required); therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of the SSLP, the Company does not believe that it has control over the SSLP (for purposes of the Investment Company Act or otherwise) because, among other things, these “voting securities” do not afford the Company the right to elect directors of the SSLP or any other special rights (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

 

(8)                                 Non U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets.

 

(9)                                 Excepted from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets.

 

(10)                          In the first quarter of 2011, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) informally communicated to certain business development companies the Staff’s belief that certain entities, which would be classified as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act but for the exception from the definition of “investment company” set forth in Rule 3a 7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, could not be treated as eligible portfolio companies (as defined in Section 2(a)(46) under the Investment Company Act) (i.e., not eligible to be included in a BDC’s 70% “qualifying assets” basket). Subsequently, in August 2011 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a concept release (the “Concept Release”) which stated that “[a]s a general matter, the Commission presently does not believe that Rule 3a 7 issuers are the type of small, developing and financially troubled businesses in which the U.S. Congress intended BDCs primarily to invest” and requested comment on whether or not a 3a 7 issuer should be considered an “eligible portfolio company”.  The Company provided a comment letter in respect of the Concept Release and continues to believe that the language of Section 2(a)(46) of the Investment Company Act permits a BDC to treat as “eligible portfolio companies” entities that rely on the 3a 7 exception. However, given the current uncertainty in this area (including the language in the Concept Release) and subsequent

discussions with the Staff, the Company has, solely for purposes of calculating the composition of its portfolio pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act, identified such entities, which include the SSLP, as “non qualifying assets” should the Staff ultimately disagree with the Company’s position.

**ARES CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of March 31, 2014**

**(unaudited)**

**(in thousands, except per share data, percentages and as otherwise indicated;**

**for example, with the words “million,” “billion” or otherwise)**

 

**1.****                                     ****ORGANIZATION**

 

Ares Capital Corporation (the “Company” or “ARCC”) is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company incorporated in Maryland. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”). The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company, or a “RIC”, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.

 

The Company’s investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in first lien senior secured loans (including “unitranche” loans, which are loans that combine both senior and mezzanine debt, generally in a first lien position), second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component. To a lesser extent, the Company also makes equity investments.

 

The Company is externally managed by Ares Capital Management LLC (“Ares Capital Management” or the Company’s “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ares Management LLC (“Ares Management”), a global alternative asset manager and a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registered investment adviser. Ares Operations LLC (“Ares Operations” or the Company’s “administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ares Management, provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate.

 

**2.****                                     ****SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

 

***Basis of Presentation***

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period presented, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

 

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

 

Cash and cash equivalents include funds from time to time deposited with financial institutions and short-term, liquid investments in a money market fund. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

 

***Concentration of Credit Risk***

 

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in money market accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

 

***Investments***

 

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses

previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized.

 

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, the Company looks at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (i.e., substantially all of the Company’s investments) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, based on, among other things, the input of the Company’s investment adviser, audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the Company’s board of directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12-month period (with certain de minimis exceptions) and under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a minimum of 50% of the Company’s portfolio at fair value is subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm obtains an understanding of, and performs select procedures relating to, the Company’s investment valuation process within the context of performing the integrated audit.

 

As part of the valuation process, the Company may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments would trade in their principal markets and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Company considers the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate its valuation.

 

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in its portfolio, the Company values substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by its board of directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

 

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 ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

 

The Company’s board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

·                  The Company’s quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the Company’s portfolio management team.

 

·                  Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with the Company’s investment adviser’s management and investment professionals, and then valuation recommendations are presented to the Company’s board of directors.

 

·                  The audit committee of the Company’s board of directors reviews these valuations, as well as the input of third parties, including independent third-party valuation firms who review a minimum of 50% of the Company’s portfolio at fair value.

 

·                  The Company’s board of directors discusses valuations and ultimately determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio without a readily available market quotation in good faith based on, among other things, the input of the Company’s investment adviser, audit committee and, where applicable, independent third-party valuation firms.

 

See Note 8 for more information on the Company’s valuation process.

***Interest and Dividend Income Recognition***

 

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

 

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

 

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

 

***Payment-in-Kind Interest***

 

The Company has loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.

 

***Capital Structuring Service Fees and Other Income***

 

The Company’s investment adviser seeks to provide assistance to its portfolio companies and in return the Company may receive fees for capital structuring services. These fees are generally only available to the Company as a result of the Company’s underlying investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that the Company’s investment adviser provides vary by investment, but generally include reviewing existing credit facilities, arranging bank financing, arranging equity financing, structuring financing from multiple lenders, structuring financing from multiple equity investors, restructuring existing loans, raising equity and debt capital, and providing general financial advice, which concludes upon closing of the investment. Any services of the above nature subsequent to the closing would generally generate a separate fee payable to the Company. In certain instances where the Company is invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and does not provide significant services in connection with the investment, a portion of loan fees paid to the Company in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan. The Company may also take a seat on the board of directors of a portfolio company, or observe the meetings of the board of directors without taking a formal seat.

 

Other income includes fees for management and consulting services, loan guarantees, commitments, amendments and other services rendered by the Company to portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

 

***Foreign Currency Translation***

 

The Company’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

(1)                                 Fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(2)                                 Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses.

 

Results of operations based on changes in foreign exchange rates are separately disclosed in the statement of operations, if any. Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in

 

47

----

Table of Contents

 

U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

 

***Accounting for Derivative Instruments***

 

The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and instead marks its derivatives to market in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

***Equity Offering Expenses***

 

The Company’s offering costs, excluding underwriters’ fees, are charged against the proceeds from equity offerings when received.

 

***Debt Issuance Costs***

 

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight line method, which closely approximates the effective yield method.

 

***Income Taxes***

 

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of- income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company, among other things, has made and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal corporate-level income taxes.

 

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned.

 

Certain of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state corporate-level income taxes.

 

***Dividends to Common Stockholders***

 

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

 

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Company’s board of directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend, then the Company’s stockholders who have not “opted out” of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividend. The Company intends to use primarily newly issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan (so long as the Company is trading at a premium to net asset value). If the Company’s shares are trading at a significant enough discount to net asset value and the Company is otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, the Company intends to purchase shares in the open market in connection with the Company’s obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan. However, the Company reserves the right to issue new shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Company’s obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan even if the Company’s shares are trading below net asset value.

 

***Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements***

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of actual and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported 

 

48

Table of Contents

 

amounts of income or loss and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments.

 

**3.****                                    ****AGREEMENTS**

 

***Investment Advisory and Management Agreement***

 

The Company is party to an investment advisory and management agreement (the “investment advisory and management agreement”) with Ares Capital Management. Subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s board of directors, Ares Capital Management provides investment advisory and management services to the Company. For providing these services, Ares Capital Management receives a fee from the Company consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee.

 

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% based on the average value of the Company’s total assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears.

 

The incentive fee has two parts. The first part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the quarter. Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under the administration agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any 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 market discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. The Company’s investment adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse the Company for any part of the incentive fees it received that was based on accrued interest that the Company never actually received.

 

Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses, unrealized capital appreciation, unrealized capital depreciation or income tax expense related to realized gains. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that the Company may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where the Company incurs a loss. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, the Company will pay the applicable incentive fee even if the Company has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and/or unrealized capital losses.

 

Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter. If market credit spreads rise, the Company may be able to invest its funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which may increase the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for the Company’s investment adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an incentive fee based on such net investment income. To the extent the Company has retained pre-incentive fee net investment income that has been used to calculate this part of the incentive fee, it is also included in the amount of the Company’s total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) used to calculate the 1.5% base management fee.

 

The Company pays its investment adviser an incentive fee with respect to the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

 

·                  no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate;

 

·                  100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter. The Company refers to this portion of its pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875%) as the “catch-up” provision. The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Company’s investment adviser with 20% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeded 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and

Table of Contents

 

·                  20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter.

 

These calculations are adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter.

 

The second part of the incentive fee (the “Capital Gains Fee”), is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or, upon termination of the investment advisory and management agreement, as of the termination date) and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (a) the sum of the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (b) the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from October 8, 2004 (the date the Company completed its initial public offering). Realized capital gains and losses include gains and losses on investments and foreign currencies, as well as gains and losses on extinguishment of debt and other assets. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the Capital Gains Fee for such year is equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of Capital Gains Fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no Capital Gains Fee for such year.

 

The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company’s portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

 

The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company’s portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

 

The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in the Company’s portfolio as of the applicable Capital Gains Fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a result of an amendment to the capital gains portion of the incentive fee under the investment advisory and management agreement that was adopted on June 6, 2011, if the Company is required by GAAP to record an investment at its fair value as of the time of acquisition instead of at the actual amount paid for such investment by the Company (including, for example, as a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting), then solely for the purposes of calculating the Capital Gains Fee, the “accreted or amortized cost basis” of an investment shall be an amount (the “Contractual Cost Basis”) equal to (1) (x) the actual amount paid by the Company for such investment plus (y) any amounts recorded in the Company’s financial statements as required by GAAP that are attributable to the accretion of such investment plus (z) any other adjustments made to the cost basis included in the Company’s financial statements, including PIK interest or additional amounts funded (net of repayments) minus (2) any amounts recorded in the Company’s financial statements as required by GAAP that are attributable to the amortization of such investment, whether such calculated Contractual Cost Basis is higher or lower than the fair value of such investment (as determined in accordance with GAAP) at the time of acquisition.

 

The Company defers cash payment of any incentive fee otherwise earned by the Company’s investment adviser if during the most recent four full calendar quarter period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made the sum of (a) the aggregate distributions to the Company’s stockholders and (b) the change in net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) is less than 7.0% of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness) at the beginning of such period. Any deferred incentive fees are carried over for payment in subsequent calculation periods to the extent such payment is payable under the investment advisory and management agreement.

 

The Capital Gains Fee payable to the Company’s investment adviser as calculated under the investment advisory and management agreement (as described above) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0. However, in accordance with GAAP, the Company had cumulatively accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $64,447 as of March 31, 2014 that is not currently due under the investment advisory and management agreement. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the investment advisory and management agreement. This GAAP accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the Capital Gains Fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires the Company to record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such cumulative amount, less the aggregate amount of actual Capital Gains Fees paid or capital gains incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has paid Capital Gains Fees since inception totaling $33,411, of which $17,425 was paid in the first quarter of 2014. The resulting accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reversal of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, base management fees were $30,084, incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income were $28,318 and accrued incentive fees related to capital gains calculated in accordance with GAAP were $935. As of March 31, 2014, $122,849 was included in “management and incentive fees payable” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, of which $58,402 was currently payable to the Company’s investment adviser under the investment advisory and management agreement.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, base management fees were $23,218, incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income were $23,836, and the reduction of incentive fees related to capital gains calculated in accordance with GAAP was $3,751.

 

***Administration Agreement***

 

The Company is party to an administration agreement, referred to herein as the “administration agreement”, with its administrator, Ares Operations. Pursuant to the administration agreement, Ares Operations furnishes the Company with office equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at the Company’s office facilities. Under the administration agreement, Ares Operations also performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company’s required administrative services, which include, among other things, providing assistance in accounting, legal, compliance, operations, investor relations and technology being responsible for the financial records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to its stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, Ares Operations assists the Company in determining and publishing its net asset value, assists the Company in providing managerial assistance to its portfolio companies, oversees the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to its stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of its expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. Payments under the Company’s administration agreement are equal to an amount based upon its allocable portion of Ares Operations’ overhead and other expenses (including travel expenses) incurred by Ares Operations in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of certain of its officers (including the Company’s chief compliance officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer, general counsel, treasurer and assistant treasurer) and their respective staffs. The administration agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $3,743 and $2,592, respectively, in administrative fees. As of March 31, 2014, $3,743 of these fees were unpaid and included in “accounts payable and other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

***Revolving Credit Facility***

 

The Company is party to a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which allows the Company to borrow up to $1,170,000 at any one time outstanding. The end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date for the Revolving Credit Facility are May 4, 2018 and May 4, 2019, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a feature that allows, under certain circumstances, for an increase in the size of the facility to a maximum of $1,755,000. The Revolving Credit Facility generally requires payments of interest at the end of each LIBOR interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly, on LIBOR based loans, and monthly payments of interest on other loans. From the end of the revolving period to the stated maturity date, the Company is required to repay outstanding principal amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility on a monthly basis in an amount equal to 1/12th of the outstanding principal amount at the end of the revolving period.

 

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities, including, without limitation, covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) maintaining a certain minimum stockholders’ equity, (e) maintaining a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries of not less than 2.0:1.0, (f) limitations on pledging certain unencumbered assets, and (g) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that prohibit liens on certain properties of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the documents governing the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are also subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in the Company’s portfolio that are pledged as collateral. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

***Revolving Funding Facility***

 

The Company’s consolidated subsidiary, Ares Capital CP Funding LLC (“Ares Capital CP”), is party to a revolving funding facility (as amended, the “Revolving Funding Facility”), which allows Ares Capital CP to borrow up to $620,000 at any one time outstanding. The Revolving Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by, and the membership interest in, Ares Capital CP. The end of the reinvestment period and the stated maturity date for the Revolving Funding Facility are April 18, 2015 and April 18, 2017, respectively. The Revolving Funding Facility also includes a feature that allows, under certain circumstances, for an increase in the Revolving Funding Facility to a maximum of $865,000.

 

Amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Funding Facility are subject to a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets held by Ares Capital CP. Ares Capital CP is also subject to limitations with respect to the loans securing the Revolving Funding Facility, including restrictions on sector concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, collateral interests, loans with fixed rates and loans with certain investment ratings, as well as restrictions on portfolio company leverage, which may also affect the borrowing base and therefore amounts available to borrow. The Company and Ares Capital CP are also required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the agreements governing the Revolving Funding Facility. As of March 31, 2014, the Company and Ares Capital CP were in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Funding Facility.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there was $100,000 and $185,000 outstanding, respectively, under the Revolving Funding Facility. Since January 25, 2013, the interest charged on the Revolving Funding Facility is based on applicable spreads ranging from 2.25% to 2.50% over LIBOR and ranging from 1.25% to 1.50% over “base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Funding Facility) in each case, determined monthly based on the composition of the borrowing base relative to outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Funding Facility. From January 18, 2012 through January 24, 2013, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Funding Facility was based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 2.50% or on a “base rate” plus an applicable spread of 1.50%. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the interest rate in effect was based on one month LIBOR, which was 0.15% and 0.17%, respectively. Ares Capital CP is also required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.50% and 1.75% per annum depending on the size of the unused portion of the Revolving Funding Facility.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the components of interest and credit facility fees expense, cash paid for interest expense, average stated interest rates (i.e., rate in effect plus the spread) and average outstanding balances for the Revolving Funding Facility were as follows:

(1)         Represents conversion price and conversion rate, as applicable, as of March 31, 2014, taking into account certain de minimis adjustments that will be made on the conversion date.

 

As of March 31, 2014, the principal amounts of each series of the Convertible Unsecured Notes exceeded the value of the underlying shares multiplied by the per share closing price of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures contain certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act and to provide financial information to the holders of the Convertible Unsecured Notes under certain circumstances. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures.

 

The Convertible Unsecured Notes are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20. Upon conversion of any of the Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Company intends to pay the outstanding principal amount in cash and to the extent that the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, the Company has the option to pay in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock (or a combination of cash and shares) in respect of the excess amount, subject to the requirements of the Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures. The Company has determined that the embedded conversion options in the Convertible Unsecured Notes are not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under GAAP. In accounting for the Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Company estimated at the time of issuance separate debt and equity components for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes. An original issue discount equal to the equity components of the Convertible Unsecured Notes was recorded in “capital in excess of par value” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the issuance costs associated with the

Convertible Unsecured Notes were allocated to the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the proceeds and accounted for as debt issuance costs and equity issuance costs, respectively.

 

The debt and equity component percentages, the issuance costs and the equity component amounts for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes are listed below.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may sell certain of its investments to third party purchasers. In particular, in connection with the sale of certain controlled portfolio company equity investments (as well as certain other sales) the Company has, and may continue to do so in the future, agreed to indemnify such purchasers for future liabilities arising from the investments and the related sale transaction. Such indemnification provisions have given rise to liabilities in the past and may do so in the future.

 

As of March 31, 2014, one of the Company’s portfolio companies, Ciena Capital LLC (“Ciena”), had one non-recourse securitization Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan warehouse facility, which has reached its maturity date but remains outstanding. Ciena is working with the providers of the SBA loan warehouse facility with regard to the repayment of that facility. Allied Capital had previously issued a performance guaranty (which the Company succeeded to as a result of the Allied Acquisition) whereby the Company must indemnify the warehouse providers for any damages, losses, liabilities and related costs and expenses that they may incur as a result of Ciena’s failure to perform any of its obligations as loan originator, loan seller or loan servicer under the warehouse facility. As of March 31, 2014, there are no known issues or claims with respect to this performance guaranty.

 

**8.****                                     ****FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**

 

The Company follows ASC 825-10, which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. The Company has not elected the ASC 825-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. With the exception of the line items entitled “other assets” and “debt,” which are reported at amortized cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the balance sheet. The carrying value of the lines titled “interest receivable,” “receivable for open trades,” “payable for open trades,” “accounts payable and other liabilities,” “management and incentive fees payable” and “interest and facility fees payable” approximate fair value due to their short maturity.

 

The Company also follows ASC 820-10, which expands the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly

transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Company to assume that the portfolio investment is sold in its principal market to market participants or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company has considered its principal market as the market in which the Company exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with ASC 820-10, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

·                  Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

 

·                  Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

·                  Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the net asset valuation policy approved by the Company’s board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820-10 (see Note 2). Consistent with the Company’s valuation policy, it evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company’s investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. The Company’s valuation policy considers the fact that because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in the Company’s portfolio, the fair value of the investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.

 

The Company’s portfolio investments (other than as discussed below in the following paragraph) are typically valued using two different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value (“EV”) of the portfolio company. Enterprise value means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The primary method for determining EV uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s EBITDA (net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization). EBITDA multiples are typically determined based upon review of market comparable transactions and publicly traded comparable companies, if any. The Company may also employ other valuation multiples to determine EV, such as revenues or, in the case of certain portfolio companies in the energy industry, kilowatt capacity. The second method for determining EV uses a discounted cash flow analysis whereby future expected cash flows of the portfolio company are discounted to determine a present value using estimated discount rates (typically a weighted average cost of capital based on costs of debt and equity consistent with current market conditions). The EV analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments, the value of debt investments in portfolio companies where the Company has control or could gain control through an option or warrant security, and to determine if there is credit impairment for debt investments. If debt investments are credit impaired, an EV analysis may be used to value such debt investments; however, in addition to the methods outlined above, other methods such as a liquidation or wind-down analysis may be utilized to estimate enterprise value. The second valuation technique is a yield analysis, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments in portfolio companies where the Company does not own a controlling equity position. To determine fair value using a yield analysis, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk. In the yield analysis, the Company considers the current contractual interest rate, the maturity and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the enterprise value of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by the Company are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Company depends on primary market data, including newly funded transactions, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.

 

For other portfolio investments such as investments in collateralized loan obligations and the SSLP Certificates, discounted cash flow analysis is the primary technique utilized to determine fair value. Expected future cash flows associated with the investment are discounted to determine a present value using a discount rate that reflects estimated market return requirements.

 

The following tables summarize the significant unobservable inputs the Company used to value the majority of its investments categorized within Level 3 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The tables are not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead capture the significant unobservable inputs relevant to the Company’s determination of fair values.

Changes in market yields, discount rates or EBITDA multiples, each in isolation, may change the fair value of certain of the Company’s investments. Generally, an increase in market yields or discount rates or decrease in EBITDA multiples may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain of the Company’s investments.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

 

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 ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

For the purpose of calculating diluted net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations per share, the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2014  and 2013 was each less than the conversion price for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Therefore, for all periods presented in the financial statements, the underlying shares for the intrinsic value of the embedded options in the Convertible Unsecured Notes have no impact on the computation of diluted net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations per share.

The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan, whereby the Company may buy shares of its common stock in the open market or issue new shares in order to satisfy dividend reinvestment requests. Prior to the amendment, if the Company issued new shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan, the issue price was equal to the closing price of its common stock on the dividend record date. As a result of the amendment, when the Company issues new shares in connection with the dividend reinvestment plan, the issue price is equal to the closing price of its common stock on the dividend payment date. Dividend reinvestment plan activity for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, was as follows:

(3) For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the total return based on market value equaled the decrease of the ending market value at March 31, 2014 of $17.62 per share from the ending market value at December 31, 2013 of $17.77 per share plus the declared and payable dividends of $0.43 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014, divided by the market value at December 31, 2013.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the total return based on market value equaled the increase of the ending market value at March 31, 2013 of $18.10 per share from the ending market value at December 31, 2012 of $17.50 per share plus the declared and payable dividends of $0.38 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013, divided by the market value at December 31, 2012.

**14.****                              ****LITIGATION**

 

The Company is party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. In addition, Allied Capital was involved in various legal proceedings that the Company assumed in connection with the Allied Acquisition. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on the Company in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any such legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these legal proceedings will materially affect its business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

On May 20, 2013, the Company was named as one of several defendants in an action filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Court”) by the bankruptcy trustee of DSI Renal Holdings LLC and two related companies. On March 17, 2014 the action was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware pursuant to a motion filed by the defendants and granted by the Pennsylvania Court. The complaint in the action alleges, among other things, that each of the named defendants participated in a purported “fraudulent transfer” involving the restructuring of a subsidiary of DSI Renal Holdings LLC. Among other things, the complaint seeks, jointly and severally from all defendants, (1) damages of approximately $425 million, of which the complaint states the Company’s individual share is approximately $117 million, and (2) punitive damages. The Company is currently unable to assess with any certainty whether it may have any exposure in this action. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this action.

**OVERVIEW**

 

We are a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company incorporated in Maryland. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”).

 

We are externally managed by Ares Capital Management LLC (“Ares Capital Management” or our “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ares Management LLC (“Ares Management”), a global alternative asset manager and a SEC-registered investment adviser, pursuant to our investment advisory and management agreement. Ares Operations LLC (“Ares Operations” or our “administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ares Management, provides certain administrative and other services necessary for us to operate.

 

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first lien senior secured loans (including unitranche loans), second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component like warrants.

 

To a lesser extent, we also make preferred and/or common equity investments, which have generally been non-control equity investments, of less than $20 million (usually in conjunction with a concurrent debt investment). However, we may increase the size or change the nature of these investments.

 

Since our initial public offering on October 8, 2004 through March 31, 2014, our exited investments resulted in an aggregate cash flow realized internal rate of return to us of approximately 13% (based on original cash invested, net of syndications, of approximately $8.2 billion and total proceeds from such exited investments of approximately $10.0 billion). Internal rate of return is the discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash flows related to a particular investment equal to zero. Internal rate of return is gross of expenses related to investments as these expenses are not allocable to specific investments. Investments are considered to be exited when the original investment objective has been achieved through the receipt of cash and/or non-cash consideration upon the repayment of a debt investment or sale of an investment or through the determination that no further consideration was collectible and, thus, a loss may have been realized. Approximately 71% of these exited investments resulted in an aggregate cash flow realized internal rate of return to us of 10% or greater.

 

Additionally, since our initial public offering on October 8, 2004 through March 31, 2014, our realized gains have exceeded our realized losses by approximately $270 million (excluding a one-time gain on the acquisition of Allied Capital Corporation (“Allied Capital”) and realized gains/losses from the extinguishment of debt and other assets). For this same time period, our average annualized net realized gain rate was approximately 1.1% (excluding a one-time gain on the acquisition of Allied Capital and realized gains/losses from the extinguishment of debt and other assets). Net realized gain/loss rates for a particular period are the amount of net realized gains/losses during such period divided by the average quarterly investments at amortized cost in such period.

Information included herein regarding internal rates of return, realized gains and losses and annualized net realized gain rates since our initial public offering are historical results relating to our past performance and are not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured.

 

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities and indebtedness of private U.S. companies and certain public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. We also may invest up to 30% of our portfolio in non-qualifying assets, as permitted by the Investment Company Act. Specifically, as part of this 30% basket, we may invest in entities that are not considered “eligible portfolio companies” (as defined in the Investment Company Act), including companies located outside of the United States, entities that are operating pursuant to certain exceptions under the Investment Company Act, and publicly traded entities whose public equity market capitalization exceeds the levels provided for under the Investment Company Act.

 

We have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company, or a “RIC” under the Code, and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to our stockholders generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Pursuant to this election, we generally will not have to pay U.S. federal corporate-level taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders provided that we satisfy those requirements.

Ares Capital Management, our investment adviser, employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our investment adviser grades the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 4 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 origination or 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. Under this system, investments with a grade of 4 involve 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. Investments graded 3 involve 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 as expected and the risk factors to our ability to ultimately recoup the cost of our investment are neutral to favorable. All investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a grade of 3. Investments graded 2 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and non-compliance with debt covenants; however, payments are generally not more than 120 days past due. An investment grade of 1 indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has substantially increased since origination or acquisition, and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. For debt investments with an investment grade of 1, most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For investments graded 1, it is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit. For investments graded 1 or 2, our investment adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company. The grade of a portfolio investment may be reduced or increased over time.

***Senior Secured Loan Program***

 

We co-invest in first lien senior secured loans of middle market companies with GE through an unconsolidated Delaware limited liability company, the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC (d/b/a “the Senior Secured Loan Program”) or the SSLP. The SSLP is capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of ours and GE (with approval from a representative of each required). We provide capital to the SSLP in the form of subordinated certificates (the “SSLP Certificates”).

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we and GE had agreed to make $11.0 billion of capital available to the SSLP, of which approximately $8.8 billion and $8.7 billion in aggregate principal amount, respectively, was funded. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had agreed to make available to the SSLP approximately $2.3 billion, of which approximately $1.8 billion and $1.7 billion in aggregate principal amount, respectively, was funded. Investment of any unfunded amount must be approved by the investment committee of the SSLP as described above.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the SSLP had total assets of $8.9 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, GE’s investment in the SSLP consisted of senior notes of $6.8 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively, and SSLP Certificates of $259.3 million and $249.3 million, respectively. The SSLP Certificates are junior in right of payment to the senior notes held by GE. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we and GE owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the outstanding SSLP Certificates.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the SSLP portfolio was comprised of all first lien senior secured loans to U.S. middle-market companies.

(1)                                 Represents the weighted average annual stated interest rate as of December 31, 2013. All interest rates are payable in cash. For loans on non-accrual status, the stated interest rate is not shown as there is no current yield on such loans.

 

(2)                                 Represents the fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10. The determination of such fair value is not included in our board of directors valuation process described elsewhere herein.

 

(3)                                 We also hold a portion of this company’s first lien senior secured loan.

 

(4)                                 We also hold a portion of this company’s second lien senior secured loan.

 

(5)                                 We hold an equity investment in this company.

 

(6)                                 Loan was on non-accrual status, as determined by the investment committee of the SSLP, as of December 31, 2013.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of our SSLP Certificates was $1.8 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2014, and $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. The SSLP Certificates pay a weighted average contractual coupon of three month LIBOR plus approximately 8.0% and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the underlying loan portfolio, which may result in a return to the holders of the SSLP Certificates that is greater than both the contractual coupon on the SSLP Certificates as well as the weighted average yield on the SSLP’s portfolio of 7.1% and 7.1% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Our yield on our investment in the SSLP at amortized cost and fair value was 14.5% and 14.3%, respectively, as of March 31, 2014, and 15.0% and 14.8%, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we earned interest income of $67.7 million and $48.6 million, respectively, from our investment in the SSLP Certificates.

 

We are also entitled to certain fees in connection with the SSLP. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, in connection with the SSLP, we earned capital structuring service, sourcing and other fees totaling $12.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

Net income can vary substantially from period to period due to various factors, including acquisitions, the level of new investment commitments, the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not be meaningful.

The increase in interest income from investments for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013 was primarily due an increase in the size of our portfolio, which increased from an average of $5.9 billion at amortized cost for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to an average of $7.6 billion at amortized cost for the comparable period in 2014. The increase in capital structuring fees for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013 was primarily due to the increase in new investment commitments, which increased from $410 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $852 million for the comparable period in 2014, as well as due to the increase in the average capital structuring service fees received on new investments, from 1.5% in 2013 to 2.5% in 2014. The decrease in dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in additional dividends received from Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P. (“IHAM”). The dividends received from IHAM for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 included additional dividends of $10.0 million and $17.4 million, respectively, that were paid in addition to the quarterly dividends generally paid by IHAM. IHAM paid the additional dividends out of accumulated earnings that had previously been retained by IHAM. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received $6.6 million in other non-recurring dividends from non-income producing equity securities compared to $0.4 million for the comparable period in 2013.

Stated interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased from the comparable period in 2013 primarily due to the increase in the average principal amount of debt outstanding, which increased to $3.0 billion as compared to $2.1 billion for the comparable period in 2013.

 

The increase in base management fees and incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013 were primarily due to the increase in the size of the portfolio and in the case of incentive fees, the related increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the capital gains incentive fee expense accrual calculated in accordance with GAAP was $0.9 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 we recorded a reduction of $3.8 million in the capital gains incentive fee expense accrual calculated in accordance with GAAP. The capital gains incentive fee accrued under GAAP includes an accrual related to unrealized capital appreciation, whereas the capital gains incentive fee actually payable under our investment advisory and management agreement does not. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. As of March 31, 2014, the total capital gains incentive fee accrual calculated in accordance with GAAP was $64.4 million (included in “management and incentive fees payable” in the consolidated balance sheet). However, as of March 31, 2014, there was no capital gains fee actually payable under our investment advisory and management agreement. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 for more information on the base management and incentive fees.

 

Administrative fees represent fees paid to Ares Operations for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Ares Operations in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers and their respective staffs. Other general and administrative expenses include professional fees, rent, insurance, depreciation, director’s fees and other costs.

 

**Income Tax Expense, Including Excise Tax**

 

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, timely distribute to our stockholders generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. In order to maintain our RIC status, we, among other things, have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders which will generally relieve us from U.S. federal corporate-level income taxes.

 

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such income, we accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded a net expense of $2.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for U.S. federal excise tax.

 

Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded a tax expense of approximately $2.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for these subsidiaries.

 

**Net Realized Gains/Losses**

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had $667.9 million of sales, repayments or exits of investments resulting in $12.0 million of net realized gains. Net realized gains of $12.0 million on investments were comprised of $12.1 million of gross realized gains and $0.1 million of gross realized losses.

 

The realized gains and losses on investments during the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted of the following:

**FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

 

Our liquidity and capital resources are generated primarily from the net proceeds of public offerings of equity and debt securities, advances from the Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Funding Facility and the SMBC Funding Facility (each as defined below and together, the “Facilities”), net proceeds from the issuance of other securities, including convertible unsecured notes, as well as cash flows from operations.

 

As of March 31, 2014, we had $146.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.1 billion in total aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding ($3.1 billion at carrying value). Subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, we had approximately $2.1 billion available for additional borrowings under the Facilities as of March 31, 2014.

 

We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our common stock through cash purchases, as well as retire, cancel or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. In addition, we may from time to time enter into additional debt facilities, increase the size of existing facilities or issue additional debt securities, including unsecured debt and/or debt securities convertible into common stock. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. In accordance with the Investment Company Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of March 31, 2014, our asset coverage was 260%.

 

**Equity Issuances**

 

There were no sales of our equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our total equity market capitalization was $5.3 billion.

Our consolidated subsidiary, Ares Capital CP, is party to a revolving funding facility (as amended, the “Revolving Funding Facility”), which allows Ares Capital CP to borrow up to $620 million at any one time outstanding. The Revolving Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by, and the membership interest in, Ares Capital CP. The end of the reinvestment period and the stated maturity date for the Revolving Funding Facility are April 18, 2015 and April 18, 2017, respectively. The Revolving Funding Facility also provides for a feature that allowed, under certain circumstances, for an increase in the size of the facility to a maximum of $865 million. The interest rate charged on the Revolving Funding Facility is one month LIBOR plus an applicable spread ranging from 2.25% to 2.50% over LIBOR and ranging from 1.25% to 1.50% over “base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Funding Facility) in each case, determined monthly based on the composition of the borrowing base relative to outstanding borrowings under the facility. Additionally, we are required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.50% and 1.75% per annum depending on the size of the unused portion of the Revolving Funding Facility. As of March 31, 2014, the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Funding Facility was $100.0 million and we and Ares Capital CP were in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Funding Facility.

The Convertible Unsecured Notes and the Unsecured Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Unsecured Notes and the Unsecured Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not expressly subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

 

See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 for more detail on our debt obligations.

 

**OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS**

 

We have various commitments to fund investments in our portfolio, as described below.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had the following commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, including commitments to fund which are at (or substantially at) our discretion:

 
| ** **                                                                           | ** ** | **As of**               | ** ** |

| **(in millions)**                                                               | ** ** | **March 31, 2014** | ** ** | **December 31, 2013** | ** ** |
| Total revolving and delayed draw commitments                                         |       | $                            | 762.4      |   | $ | 834.5 |   |
| Less: funded commitments                                                             |       | (82.8                        | )          | (87.1 | ) |
| Total unfunded commitments                                                           |       | 679.6                        |       | 747.4 |   |
| Less: commitments substantially at discretion of   ours                              |       | (6.0                         | )          | (16.0 | ) |
| Less: unavailable commitments due to borrowing   base or other covenant restrictions |       | (1.6                         | )          | (1.7 | ) |
| Total net adjusted unfunded revolving and delayed   draw commitments                 |       | $                            | 672.0      |   | $ | 729.7 |   |

 

Included within the total revolving and delayed draw commitments as of March 31, 2014 were commitments to issue up to $41.9 million in letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2014, we had $16.9 million in letters of credit issued and outstanding under these commitments on behalf of the portfolio companies. In addition to these letters of credit included as a part of the total revolving and delayed draw commitments to portfolio companies, as of March 31, 2014 we also had $5.3 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding on behalf of other portfolio companies. For all these letters of credit issued and outstanding, we would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. None of these letters of credit issued and outstanding are recorded as a liability on our balance sheet as such letters of credit are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company. Of these letters of credit, $16.0 million expire in 2014 and $6.2 million expire in 2015.

We also have commitments to co-invest in the SSLP for our portion of the SSLP’s commitments to fund delayed draw investments to certain portfolio companies of the SSLP. See “Senior Secured Loan Program” above and Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 for more information.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we were party to subscription agreements to fund equity investments in private equity investment partnerships as follows:

 
| ** **                                                             | ** ** | **As of**               | ** ** |

| Total unfunded private equity commitments                              |       | 47.4                         |       | 47.6 |   |

In the ordinary course of business, we may sell certain of our investments to third party purchasers. In particular, in connection with the sale of certain controlled portfolio company equity investments (as well as certain other sales), we have, and may continue to do so in the future, agreed to indemnify such purchasers for future liabilities arising from the investments and the related sale transaction. Such indemnification provisions have given rise to liabilities in the past and may do so in the future.

 

As of March 31, 2014, one of our portfolio companies, Ciena Capital LLC (“Ciena”), had one non-recourse securitization Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan warehouse facility, which has reached its maturity date but remains outstanding. Ciena is working with the providers of the SBA loan warehouse facility with regard to the repayment of that facility. Allied Capital had previously issued a performance guaranty (which Ares Capital succeeded to as a result of the Allied Acquisition) whereby Ares Capital must indemnify the warehouse providers for any damages, losses, liabilities and related costs and expenses that they may incur as a result of Ciena’s failure to perform any of its obligations as loan originator, loan seller or loan servicer under the warehouse facility. As of March 31, 2014, there were no known issues or claims with respect to this performance guaranty.

 

**RECENT DEVELOPMENTS**

 

From April 1, 2014 through April 30, 2014, we made new investment commitments of $303 million, of which $223 million were funded. Of these new commitments, 71% were in first lien senior secured loans, 18% were in second lien senior secured loans, 10% were investments in subordinated certificates of the SSLP to make co-investments with GE in first lien senior secured loans through the SSLP and 1% were in other equity securities. Of the $303 million of new investment commitments, 90% were floating rate, 9% were fixed rate and 1% were non-interest bearing. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities funded during the period at amortized cost was 8.6%. We may seek to syndicate a portion of these new investment commitments, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

From April 1, 2014 through April 30, 2014, we exited $401 million of investment commitments. Of these investment commitments, 48% were first lien senior secured loans, 47% were second lien senior secured loans, 3% were investments in subordinated certificates of the SSLP, 1% were senior subordinated loans and 1% were other equity securities. Of the $401 million of exited investment commitments, 98% were floating rate, 1% were fixed rate and 1% were non-interest bearing. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities exited or repaid during the period at amortized cost was 8.8%. On the $401 million of investment commitments exited from April 1, 2014 through April 30, 2014, we recognized total net realized gains of approximately $3 million.

 

In addition, as of April 30, 2014, we had an investment backlog and pipeline of approximately $235 million and $475 million, respectively. Investment backlog includes transactions approved by our investment adviser’s investment committee and/or for which a

formal mandate, letter of intent or a signed commitment have been issued, and therefore we believe are likely to close. Investment pipeline includes transactions where due diligence and analysis are in process, but no formal mandate, letter of intent or signed commitment have been issued. The consummation of any of the investments in this backlog and pipeline depends upon, among other things, one or more of the following: satisfactory completion of our due diligence investigation of the prospective portfolio company, our acceptance of the terms and structure of such investment and the execution and delivery of satisfactory transaction documentation. In addition, we may syndicate a portion of these investments and certain of these investments may result in the repayment of existing investments. We cannot assure you that we will make any of these investments or that we will syndicate any portion of these investments.

 

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

 

***Basis of Presentation***

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP, and include the accounts of ours and our consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period presented, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

 

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

 

Cash and cash equivalents include funds from time to time deposited with financial institutions and short-term, liquid investments in a money market fund. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

 

***Concentration of Credit Risk***

 

We place our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in money market accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

 

***Investments***

 

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized.

 

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, we look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (i.e., substantially all of our investments) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on, among other things, the input of our investment adviser, audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of our board of directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12-month period (with certain de minimis exceptions) and under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a minimum of 50% of our portfolio at fair value is subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm obtains an understanding of, and performs select procedures relating to, our investment valuation process within the context of performing the integrated audit.

 

As part of the valuation process, we may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of our investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time), the nature

and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments would trade in their principal markets and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation.

 

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.

 

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 ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

 

Our board of directors undertakes 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 the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with our portfolio management team.

 

·                  Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with our investment adviser’s management and investment professionals, and then valuation recommendations are presented to our board of directors.

 

·                  The audit committee of our board of directors reviews these valuations, as well as the input of third parties, including independent third-party valuation firms, who review a minimum of 50% of our portfolio at fair value.

 

·                  Our board of directors discusses valuations and ultimately determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio without a readily available market quotation in good faith based on, among other things, the input of our investment adviser, audit committee and, where applicable, independent third-party valuation firms.

 

***Interest and Dividend Income Recognition***

 

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

 

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. We may make exceptions to this if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

 

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

 

***Payment-in-Kind Interest***

 

We have loans in our portfolio that contain PIK provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. To maintain our status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends even though we have not yet collected the cash.

***Capital Structuring Service Fees and Other Income***

 

Our investment adviser seeks to provide assistance to our portfolio companies in connection with our investments and in return we may receive fees for capital structuring services. These fees are generally only available to us as a result of our underlying investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non- recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that our investment adviser provides vary by investment, but generally include reviewing existing credit facilities, arranging bank financing, arranging equity financing, structuring financing from multiple lenders, structuring financing from multiple equity investors, restructuring existing loans, raising equity and debt capital, and providing general financial advice, which concludes upon closing of the investment. Any services of the above nature subsequent to the closing would generally generate a separate fee payable to us. In certain instances where we are invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and do not provide significant services in connection with the investment, a portion of loan fees paid to us in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan. We may also take a seat on the board of directors of a portfolio company, or observe the meetings of the board of directors without taking a formal seat.

 

Other income includes fees for asset management, management and consulting services, loan guarantees, commitments, amendments and other services rendered by us to portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

 

***Foreign Currency Translation***

 

Our books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

(1)                                 Fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(2)                                 Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses.

 

Results of operations based on changes in foreign exchange rates are separately disclosed in the statement of operations. Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

 

***Accounting for Derivative Instruments***

 

We do not utilize hedge accounting and instead mark our derivatives to market in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

***Equity Offering Expenses***

 

Our offering costs, excluding underwriters’ fees, are charged against the proceeds from equity offerings when received.

 

***Debt Issuance Costs***

 

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight line method, which closely approximates the effective yield method.

 

***Income Taxes***

 

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of- income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. We, among other things, have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders, which will generally relieve us from U.S. federal corporate-level income taxes.

 

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such

 

92

----

Table of Contents

 

income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions, we accrue excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned.

 

Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state corporate-level income taxes.

 

***Dividends to Common Stockholders***

 

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

 

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of any distributions we declare in cash on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if our board of directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend, then our stockholders who have not “opted out” of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividend. We intend to use primarily newly issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan (so long as we are trading at a premium to net asset value). If our shares are trading at a significant enough discount to net asset value and we are otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, we intend to purchase shares in the open market in connection with our obligations under our dividend reinvestment plan. However, we reserve the right to issue new shares of our common stock in connection with our obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan even if our shares are trading below net asset value.

 

***Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements***

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of actual and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income or loss and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments.

 

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

 

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and the valuations of our investment portfolio.

 

***Interest Rate Risk***

 

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

 

As of March 31, 2014, 81% of the investments at fair value in our portfolio bore interest at variable rates, 9%  bore interest at fixed rates, 8% were non-interest earning and 2% were on non-accrual status. Additionally, for the variable rate investments, 69% of these investments contained interest rate floors (representing 56% of total investments at fair value). The Facilities all bear interest at variable rates with no interest rate floors, while the Unsecured Notes and the Convertible Unsecured Notes bear interest at fixed rates.

 

We regularly measure our exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

 

While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively hedge our interest rate risk.

 

Based on our March 31, 2014, balance sheet, the following table shows the annual impact on net income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them of material information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

**PART II — OTHER INFORMATION**

 

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings.**

 

We are party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. In addition, Allied Capital was involved in various legal proceedings that we assumed in connection with the Allied Acquisition. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with our activities or the activities of our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any such legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these legal proceedings will materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

On May 20, 2013, the Company was named as one of several defendants in an action filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Court”) by the bankruptcy trustee of DSI Renal Holdings LLC and two related companies. On March 17, 2014 the action was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware pursuant to a motion filed by the defendants and granted by the Pennsylvania Court. The complaint in the action alleges, among other things, that each of the named defendants participated in a purported “fraudulent transfer” involving the restructuring of a subsidiary of DSI Renal Holdings LLC. Among other things, the complaint seeks, jointly and severally from all defendants, (1) damages of

approximately $425 million, of which the complaint states the Company’s individual share is approximately $117 million, and (2) punitive damages. The Company is currently unable to assess with any certainty whether it may have any exposure in this action. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this action.

 

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.**

 

We did not sell any equity securities during the period covered in this report that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the period covered in this report.
