(1)
For each debt investment we have provided the weighted-average interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2017. For each CLO investment we have provided the yield as of June 30, 2017 determined using the effective interest method that will be applied to the current amortized cost of the investment in the following quarter. See Note 2 regarding the recognition of investment income on CLOs.
(2)
Floating rate debt investments typically accrue interest at a predetermined spread relative to an index, typically the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”) or the prime index rate (“PRIME” or “P”), and reset monthly, quarterly or semi-annually. These instruments may be subject to a LIBOR or PRIME rate floor.
(3)

Note 1. Organization
American Capital Senior Floating, Ltd. (which is referred to as “ACSF”, “we”, “us” and “our”) was organized in February 2013 as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations on October 15, 2013. We are structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment management company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1940 Act”) and to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
In November 2013, we formed a wholly owned special purpose financing vehicle, ACSF Funding I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ACSF Funding”).
On January 3, 2017, Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P. (“IHAM” or our “Manager), a wholly owned portfolio company of Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares Capital”) was appointed as our new investment adviser pursuant to the Interim Management Agreement (as defined below), and on such date, we entered into the Interim Management Agreement. On May 19, 2017, a new management agreement with IHAM was approved by our stockholders (the “Management Agreement”). Ares Capital is externally managed by Ares Capital Management LLC, a subsidiary of Ares Management, L.P. (“Ares Management”), a publicly traded, leading global alternative asset manager, pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, where it trades under the symbol “ACSF.” IHAM is a SEC-registered investment adviser that was registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 on March 30, 2012.
Investment Objective
Our investment objective is to provide attractive, risk-adjusted returns over the long term primarily through current income while seeking to preserve our capital. Our Manager actively manages our leveraged portfolio composed primarily of diversified investments in first lien and second lien floating rate loans principally to large-market U.S.-based companies (collectively, “Senior Floating Rate Loans” or “SFRLs”) which are commonly referred to as leveraged loans. We also invest in debt and equity tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) which are securitized vehicles collateralized primarily by SFRLs. In addition, we may selectively invest in loans issued by middle market companies, mezzanine and unitranche loans and high yield bonds. Additionally, we may from time to time hold or invest in other equity investments and other debt or equity securities generally arising from a restructuring of Senior Floating Rate Loan positions previously held by us.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications which are of a normal recurring nature and considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim period have been included. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiary, ACSF Funding. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounts of ACSF Funding are prepared for the same reporting period as ours using consistent accounting policies. Subsequent events are evaluated and disclosed as appropriate for events occurring through the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of income and expenses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ.

Investment Classification
As required by the 1940 Act, investments are classified by level of control. “Control Investments” are defined as investments in portfolio companies that we are deemed to control, as defined in the 1940 Act. “Affiliate Investments” are investments in those companies that are affiliated companies, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than Control Investments. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.
Generally, under the 1940 Act, we are deemed to control a company in which we have invested if we own more than 25% of the voting securities of such company. We are deemed to be an affiliate of a company if we own 5% or more of the voting securities of such company.
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of our investments were non-control/non-affiliate investments.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. The trade date for loans purchased in the “primary market” is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined. The trade date for loans and other investments purchased in the “secondary market” is the date on which the transaction is entered into. The trade date for primary CLO equity transactions and any other security transaction entered outside conventional channels is the date on which (a) we have determined all material terms have been defined for the transaction and (b) we have obtained a right to (i) demand the securities purchased and incur an obligation to pay the price of the securities purchased or (ii) collect the proceeds of a sale and incurred an obligation to deliver the securities sold. Cost is determined based on consideration given, adjusted for amortization of original issuance discounts (“OID”), market discounts and premiums.
Realized Gain or Loss and Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
Realized gain or loss from an investment is recorded at the time of disposition and calculated using the weighted average cost method. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the changes in fair value of investments as determined in compliance with the valuation policy as discussed in Note 6.
Income Taxes
As a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, we are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of our taxable income distributed to our stockholders as a dividend. We intend to distribute 100% of our taxable income and therefore do not anticipate incurring corporate-level U.S. federal or state income tax. As a RIC, we are also subject to a nondeductible federal excise tax if we do not distribute at least 98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of any capital gain net income and any recognized and undistributed taxable income from prior years.
ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or provision in the current year. Determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors, including, but not limited to, an ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. We are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
If we incur interest and/or penalties in connection with our tax obligations, such amounts shall be classified as income tax expense on our consolidated statements of operations.
Investment Income
For debt investments, we record interest income on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. OID and purchased discounts and premiums are accreted into interest income using the effective interest method, where applicable. Loan origination fees are deferred and accreted into interest income using the effective interest method. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other investments as interest income when such amounts are received. We stop accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. As of June 30, 2017, we had no loans on non-accrual status.
Interest income on CLO equity investments is recognized using the effective interest method as required by ASC Subtopic 325-40, Investments-Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets (“ASC 325-40”). Under ASC 325-40, at the time of purchase, we estimate the future expected cash flows and determine the effective yield of an investment based on these estimated


21

AMERICAN CAPITAL SENIOR FLOATING, LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share data, percentages and as otherwise indicated; for example with the words “million” or otherwise)


cash flows and our cost basis. Subsequent to the purchase, these estimated cash flows are updated quarterly and a revised yield is calculated prospectively in accordance with ASC 320-10-35, Investment-Debt and Equity Securities. In the event that the fair value of an investment decreases below its current amortized cost basis, we may be required to write down the current amortized cost basis for a credit loss or to fair value depending on our hold expectations for the investment. Current amortized cost basis less the amount of any write down (“Reference Amount”) is used to calculate the effective yield used for interest income recognition purposes over the remaining life of the investment. We are precluded from reversing write downs for any subsequent increase in the expected cash flows of an investment with the effect of increasing total interest income over the life of the investment and increasing the realized loss recorded on the sale or redemption of the investment by the amount of the credit loss write down. In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that are subject to uncertainties and contingencies. These include the amount and timing of principal payments (including prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations), the pass through or coupon rate, and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, interest payment shortfalls due to delinquencies on the underlying loans and the timing and magnitude of projected credit losses on the loans underlying the securities have to be estimated. These uncertainties and contingencies are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may impact our estimates and interest income. As a result, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded $1.6 million in reductions to the Reference Amount on six of our CLO equity investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded $4.5 million in reductions to the Reference Amount on twelve of our CLO equity investments. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, there was no reduction to the Reference Amount for our CLO equity investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded $1.1 million in reductions to the Reference Amount on three CLO equity investments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less, including those held in overnight sweep bank deposit accounts. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. We place our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in bank accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.
Consolidation
As permitted under Article 6 of Regulation S-X and as explained by ASC 946-810-45, Financial Services - Investment Companies - Consolidation, we will generally not consolidate an investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists primarily of providing services to us. Accordingly, we have consolidated the results of ACSF Funding in our consolidated financial statements.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs represent fees and other direct expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of debt. These costs are currently amortized over the life of ACSF Funding’s secured revolving credit facility using the straight line method.
Distributions to Stockholders
Distributions to stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Other General and Administrative Expenses
Other general and administrative expenses include audit and tax fees, legal fees, board of directors' fees, rent, insurance, IT system costs, custody, transfer agent and other operating expenses. These expenses are recognized as incurred on an accrual basis.
Note 3. Management Agreement
Prior to January 3, 2017 we were managed by American Capital ACSF Management, LLC (our “Prior Manager”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of American Capital, Ltd (“American Capital”), pursuant to a management agreement dated January 15, 2014 between us and our Prior Manager (the “Prior Management Agreement”). On January 3, 2017, IHAM was appointed as our new investment adviser. Additionally, on January 3, 2017, we entered into an interim management agreement with our Manager pursuant to Rule 15a-4 adopted under the 1940 Act (the “Interim Management Agreement”). The Prior Management Agreement was automatically terminated in accordance with its terms as a result of its deemed “assignment” under the 1940 Act, following the acquisition of American Capital by Ares Capital on January 3, 2017.
The Management Agreement provides that our Manager will be compensated for serving as ACSF’s investment adviser at the same rate as in the Prior Management Agreement: an annual rate of 0.80% of our total assets, excluding cash and cash

equivalents and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, each as determined under GAAP at the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, with no incentive fee. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a management fee expense of $533 and $1,064, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized a management fee expense of $511 and $1,008, respectively.
Pursuant to the Prior Management Agreement, our Prior Manager agreed to be responsible for certain of our operating expenses in excess of 0.75% of our consolidated net assets, less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, each as defined under GAAP at the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter for the first 24 months following the date of our initial public offering (“IPO”) in January 2014 (the “Prior Expense Cap”). The Prior Expense Cap was voluntarily extended by our Prior Manager until the termination of the Prior Management Agreement, and thus the Prior Expense Cap expired on January 3, 2017.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, our Manager voluntarily agreed to be responsible for certain of our 2017 quarterly other operating expenses in excess of a certain percentage of our consolidated net assets, less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, each as defined under GAAP (individually, for each such quarter, a “Voluntary Expense Cap” and collectively, the “Voluntary Expense Caps”). The first quarter 2017 Voluntary Expense Cap was calculated based on an annual rate of 0.75% of our consolidated net assets less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of March 31, 2017. The second quarter 2017 Voluntary Expense Cap was calculated based on an annual rate of 1.00% of our consolidated net assets less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of June 30, 2017.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, our Manager was responsible for $176 and $614, respectively, of other operating expenses as a result of the applicable Voluntary Expense Caps. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, our Prior Manager was responsible for $455 and $693, respectively, of other operating expenses as a result of the Prior Expense Cap.
Additionally, for each of the remaining two quarters of fiscal 2017, our Manager has voluntarily agreed to be responsible for certain of our quarterly other operating expenses in excess of (a) with respect to the three months ended September 30, 2017, an annual rate of 1.00% of our consolidated net assets less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of September 30, 2017, respectively, and (b) with respect to the three months ended December 31, 2017, an annual rate of 1.25% of our consolidated net assets less unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of December 31, 2017, provided that the Management Agreement remains effective as of the date we file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as applicable, for such quarter period.
Note 4. Related Party Transactions
Administrative Services Agreement
We are externally managed by our Manager and do not have any employees. Our Manager is responsible for administering our business activities and day-to-day operations pursuant to the Management Agreement, subject to the supervision and oversight of our Board of Directors (our “Board”). Most of the services necessary for managing our investment portfolio and making our investment decisions are provided by investment professionals employed by our Manager or certain of its affiliates. Further, pursuant to the Management Agreement, our Manager has agreed to provide us with certain administrative services. Our Manager provides such services to us via its administrative services agreement (the “Administrative Agreement”) with Ares Operations LLC (“Ares Operations”), a subsidiary of Ares Management, pursuant to which Ares Operations provides IHAM with, among other things, office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services, services relating to the marketing and sale of interests in vehicles managed by IHAM, managing the services and oversight of custodians, depositories, accountants, attorneys, underwriters and such other persons in any other capacity deemed to be necessary, which allows IHAM to fulfill all of its responsibilities under the Management Agreement, subject to the supervision and oversight of the Board. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, we are responsible for reimbursing our Manager for certain of these expenses incurred on our behalf.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $13 and $40, respectively, of such expenses that were reimbursable to our Manager.  Pursuant to our Prior Management Agreement, we were responsible for reimbursing our Prior Manager, American Capital and its affiliates for certain expenses incurred on our behalf. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $161 and $340, respectively, of such expenses that were reimbursable to our Prior Manager.

Note 6. Investments
We value our investments at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for our investments existed, and the differences could be material. Additionally, 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 the investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.
ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. When available, we determine the fair value of our investments using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall into more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment’s fair value measurement. We use judgment and consider factors specific to the investment when determining the significance of an input to a fair value measurement. Our policy is to recognize transfers in and out of levels as of the beginning of each reporting period. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy and investments that fall into each of the levels are described below:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This may include valuations based on executed trades, broker quotations that constitute an executable price, and alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which, in each case, are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset in connection with market data at the measurement date.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data. In certain cases, investments classified within Level 3 may include securities for which we have obtained indicative quotes from broker-dealers that do not necessarily represent prices the broker may be willing to trade on.
The valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Our Senior Floating Rate Loans are predominately valued based on evaluated prices from a nationally recognized independent pricing service or from third-party brokers who make markets in such debt investments. When possible, we make inquiries of third-party pricing sources to understand their use of significant inputs and assumptions. We review the third-party fair value estimates and perform procedures to validate their reasonableness, including an analysis of the range and dispersion of third-party estimates, frequency of pricing updates, comparison of recent trade activity for similar securities, and review for consistency with market conditions observed as of the measurement date.
There may be instances when independent or third-party pricing sources are not available, or cases where we believe that the third-party pricing sources do not provide sufficient evidence to support a market participant’s view of the fair value of the debt investment being valued. These instances may result from an investment in a less liquid loan such as a middle market loan, a mezzanine loan or unitranche loan, or a loan to a company that has become financially distressed. In these instances, we may estimate the fair value based on a combination of a market yield valuation methodology and evaluated pricing discussed above, or solely based on a market yield valuation methodology. Under the market yield valuation methodology, we estimate the fair value based on a discounted cash flow technique. For these loans, the unobservable inputs used in the market yield valuation methodology to measure fair value reflect management’s best estimate of assumptions that would be used by market participants when pricing the investment in a hypothetical transaction, including estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest

rate spreads of similar loans and securities as of the measurement date. We will estimate the remaining life based on market data for the average life of similar loans. However, if we have information that the loan is expected to be repaid in the near term, we would use an estimated remaining life based on the expected repayment date. The average life to be used to estimate the fair value of our loans may be shorter than the legal maturity of the loans since many loans are prepaid prior to the maturity date. The interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of our loans is based on current interest rate spreads of similar loans. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a loan, we may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.
We estimate the fair value of our CLO equity investments using a combination of third-party broker quotes, purchases or sales of the same or similar securities, and cash flow forecasts subject to assumptions that a market participant would use regarding the investments’ underlying collateral, including, but not limited to, assumptions for default and recovery rates, reinvestment spreads and prepayment rates. Cash flow forecasts are discounted using market participant’s market yield assumptions that are derived from multiple sources, including, but not limited to, third-party broker quotes, industry research reports and transactions of securities and indices with similar structures and risk characteristics. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes, if any, when determining fair value based on our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer, the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with underlying performance and other market indices.

Investments were transferred into and out of Level 3 and Level 2 due to changes in the quantity and quality of inputs obtained to support the fair value of each investment. Transfers into and out of the levels are recognized at the beginning of the period. Transfers into Level 3 for Floating Rate Loans were due to an accounting policy change to classify vendor priced securities with only one broker quote supporting the price as a Level 3 investment beginning in the first quarter of 2017.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of CLO equity include the default and prepayment rates used to establish projected cash flows and the discount rate applied in the valuation models to those projected cash flows. An increase in any one of these individual inputs in isolation would likely result in a decrease to fair value. However, given the interrelationship between these inputs, overall market conditions would likely have a more significant impact on our Level 3 fair values than changes in any one unobservable input. Our maximum exposure to loss due to credit risk is their fair value.

Note 7. Debt
Secured Revolving Credit Facility
ACSF Funding is a party to a secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (as amended and restated, the “Credit Facility”), which allows ACSF Funding to borrow up to $135,000. The Credit Facility matures on December 18, 2018. ACSF Funding may make draws under the Credit Facility from time to time to purchase or acquire certain eligible assets. The Credit Facility is secured by ACSF Funding’s assets pursuant to a security agreement and contains customary financial and negative covenants and events of default. On January 3, 2017, ACSF Funding entered into an amendment to the documents governing the Credit Facility that amended the relevant provisions of the Credit Facility to reflect the appointment of IHAM as ACSF’s new investment adviser. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the assets pledged as collateral in ACSF Funding was $206,904 and $207,827, respectively. The Credit Facility is non-recourse to ACSF. Amounts drawn under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (a) LIBOR plus 1.80%, or (b) 0.80% plus the highest of (i) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) Bank of America, N.A.’s prime rate or (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1%. ACSF Funding may borrow, prepay and reborrow loans under the Credit Facility at any time prior to November 18, 2018, the commitment termination date, subject to certain terms and conditions, including maintaining a sufficient borrowing base. Any outstanding balance on the Credit Facility as of the commitment termination date must be repaid by the maturity date unless otherwise extended.
ACSF Funding is required to pay a commitment fee in an amount equal to 0.75% on the actual daily unused amount of the current lender commitments under the Credit Facility to the extent the outstanding amount of committed loans is less than an amount equal to 90% of the aggregate commitments through the commitment termination date, payable quarterly in arrears.
As of June 30, 2017, there was $98,200 outstanding under the Credit Facility, which had a fair value of $98,200 and a stated interest rate of 3.00%. As of December 31, 2016, there was $104,900 outstanding under the Credit Facility, which had a fair value of $104,900 and a stated interest rate of 2.52%. The fair value of the Credit Facility is determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions and is measured with Level 3 inputs. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, ACSF and ACSF Funding were in compliance in all material respects with all covenants of the Credit Facility, including compliance with a borrowing base that applies various advance rates of up to 80% on the assets pledged as collateral by ACSF Funding.
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred interest and commitment fees on the Credit Facility of $668 and $78, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred interest and commitment fees on the Credit Facility of $1,311 and $145, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we incurred interest and commitment fees on the Credit Facility of $545 and $72, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we incurred interest and commitment fees on the Credit Facility of $1,128 and $130, respectively.
Note 8. Taxes
Income Taxes
We have elected to be treated as a RIC for income tax purposes. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our ordinary income, including net short term gains in excess of net long term losses. So long as we qualify as a RIC, we are not subject to the entity level taxes on earnings timely distributed to our stockholders. We intend to make sufficient annual distributions to substantially eliminate our corporate level income taxes.
Income determined under GAAP differs from income determined under tax because of both temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, including (i) unrealized gains and losses associated with debt investments marked to fair value for GAAP but excluded from taxable income until realized or settled, (ii) timing differences on income recognition for our CLO equity investments, (iii) premium amortization and gain adjustments attributable to net built-in gains recognized upon our IPO and (iv) capital losses in excess of capital gains earned in a tax year do not reduce current year taxable income, and generally can be carried forward to offset capital gains.
At our discretion, we may delay distributions of a portion of our current year taxable income to the subsequent year and pay 4% excise taxes on such deferred distributions as calculated under the Code. If we anticipate paying excise taxes, we accrue excise taxes on a quarterly basis based on our estimates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded an excise tax provision of $9 and $28, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an excise tax benefit of $125 and $98, respectively.

Overview
American Capital Senior Floating, Ltd. (“ACSF”, “we”, “our” and “us”), a Maryland corporation organized in February 2013 that commenced operations on October 15, 2013, is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment management company. We have elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and intend to take advantage of the exemption for emerging growth companies allowing us to temporarily forgo the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We do not intend to take advantage of other disclosure or reporting exemptions for emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act.
Prior to January 3, 2017 we were managed by American Capital ACSF Management, LLC (our “Prior Manager”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of American Capital, Ltd (“American Capital”), pursuant to a management agreement dated January 15, 2014 between us and our Prior Manager (the “Prior Management Agreement”). On January 3, 2017, Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P. (“IHAM” or our “Manager”) was appointed as our new investment adviser. Additionally, on January 3, 2017, we entered into an interim management agreement with our Manager pursuant to Rule 15a-4 adopted under the 1940 Act (the “Interim Management Agreement”). The Prior Management Agreement was automatically terminated in accordance with its terms as a result of its deemed “assignment” under the 1940 Act, following the acquisition of American Capital by Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares Capital”) on January 3, 2017. On May 19, 2017, a new management agreement with our Manager was approved by our stockholders (the “Management Agreement” ), and on such date, we entered into the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement provides that our Manager will be compensated for serving as ACSF’s investment adviser at the same rate as in the Prior Management Agreement: an annual rate of 0.80% of our total assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, each as determined under GAAP at the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter with no incentive fee.
Pursuant to the Prior Management Agreement, our Prior Manager agreed to be responsible for certain of our operating expenses in excess of 0.75% of our consolidated net assets, less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, each as defined under GAAP at the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter for the first 24 months following the date of our initial public offering (“IPO”) in January 2014 (the “Prior Expense Cap”). The Prior Expense Cap was voluntarily extended by our Prior Manager until the termination of the Prior Management Agreement, and thus the Prior Expense Cap expired on January 3, 2017.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, our Manager voluntarily agreed to be responsible for certain of our 2017 quarterly other operating expenses in excess of a certain percentage of our consolidated net assets, less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, each as defined under GAAP (individually, for each such quarter , a “Voluntary Expense Cap” and collectively, the “Voluntary Expense Caps”). The first quarter 2017 Voluntary Expense Cap was calculated based on an annual rate of 0.75% of our consolidated net assets less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of March 31, 2017. The second quarter 2017 Voluntary


32



Expense Cap was calculated based on an annual rate of 1.00% of our consolidated net assets less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of June 30. 2017.
Additionally, for each of the remaining two quarters of fiscal 2017, our Manager has voluntarily agreed to be responsible for certain of our quarterly other operating expenses in excess of (a) with respect to the three months ended September 30, 2017, an annual rate of 1.00% of our consolidated net assets less net unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of September 30, 2017, and (b) with respect to the three months ended December 31, 2017, an annual rate of 1.25% of our consolidated net assets less unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of December 31, 2017, provided that the Management Agreement remains effective as of the date we file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as applicable, for such quarter period.
Investments
Our investment objective is to provide attractive, risk-adjusted returns over the long term primarily through current income while seeking to preserve our capital. Our Manager actively manages our leveraged portfolio composed primarily of diversified investments in first lien and second lien floating rate loans principally to large-market U.S.-based companies (collectively, “Senior Floating Rate Loans” or “Loan Portfolio”) which are commonly referred to as leveraged loans. Standard and Poor's (“S&P”) defines large-market loans as loans to issuers with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of greater than $50 million. Senior Floating Rate Loans are typically collateralized by a company's assets and structured with first lien or second lien priority on collateral, providing for greater security and potential recovery in the event of default compared to other subordinated fixed-income products. We also invest in debt and equity tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) which are securitized vehicles collateralized primarily by Senior Floating Rate Loans. In addition, we may selectively invest in loans issued by middle market companies, mezzanine and unitranche loans and high yield bonds. Additionally, we may from time to time hold or invest in other equity investments and other debt or equity securities generally arising from a restructuring of Senior Floating Rate Loan positions previously held by us. Under normal market conditions, we will invest at least 80% of our assets in Senior Floating Rate Loans.
Our level of investment activity can vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to U.S. based large-market private companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment, market conditions and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” as defined by Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” The definition of “eligible portfolio company” includes private operating companies and certain public companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million, in each case organized under the laws of and with their principal place of business located in the United States. Investments in debt and equity tranches of CLOs are generally deemed nonqualified assets for BDC compliance purposes; therefore, under normal market conditions, we intend to limit our CLO investments to 20% of our portfolio.
Current Market Conditions
Economic and market conditions can impact our business and our investments in multiple ways, including the financial condition of the portfolio companies in which we invest, our investment returns, our funding costs, our access to the capital markets and our access to credit. The leveraged loan market has grown substantially in recent years with the amount of total leveraged loans outstanding exceeding $1 trillion as of June 30, 2017. Growth has largely been a function of the resilient performance of the asset class across multiple credit cycles coupled with the changing regulatory and investor landscape and the attractive floating rate nature of the assets. Despite uncertainties regarding economic and market conditions, the new issue loan pipeline in the leveraged loan market remains active, with first lien and second lien transactions that support leveraged buyouts, strategic acquisitions, plant expansions, recapitalizations and refinancings for mid to large-sized borrowers.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, leveraged loan market volumes were strong with over $550 billion of new issuance, the highest ever for any first or second half of the year. Of the total new issuance, over $330 billion was driven by loan refinancings or recapitalizations. While loan volumes have remained strong, flows into retail funds tailed off toward the end of the quarter. Additionally, opportunistic issuance slowed while M&A driven deal flow remained relatively steady. Driven in part by weaker performance in the oil and gas and retail sectors, the average bid of the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index declined slightly to 98.0% of par for the second quarter from an average bid price of 98.2% of par at March 31, 2017. CLO new issue volume rebounded during the second quarter with $28.8 billion of new issuance versus $17.4 billion of new issuance in the first quarter of 2017. Overall CLO issuance, including refinancing/reset activity, was at record levels through the first six months ended June 30, 2017.

Portfolio and Investment Activity
As of June 30, 2017, our portfolio was comprised of 77% first lien loans, 6% second lien loans (collectively, the “Loan Portfolio) and 17% CLO equity (the “CLO Portfolio” and together with the Loan Portfolio, the “Investment Portfolio”), measured at fair value. The Loan Portfolio consisted of 149 portfolio companies in 38 industries, and the CLO Portfolio included 23 CLOs managed by 16 different collateral managers with vintages ranging from 2012 to 2015. Our Loan Portfolio consisted of all floating rate investments with 97.6% having LIBOR floors ranging between 0.75% and 1.25%. The weighted average LIBOR floor in our Loan Portfolio was 0.98% as of June 30, 2017. The following table depicts a summary of the portfolio as of June 30, 2017:

Investment Income
Investment income decreased $0.2 million, or 4%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the comparable period in 2016. The decrease was a result of lower yields on the Investment Portfolio during the second quarter of 2017 compared to the comparable period in 2016. The weighted average yield at cost on our Loan Portfolio, CLO Portfolio and Investment Portfolio was 5.46%, 11.67% and 6.67%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to 5.42%, 11.49% and 6.73%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2016.
Investment income increased $0.1 million, or 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the comparable period in 2016. The increase was a result of higher yields on the Investment Portfolio during the first six months of 2017 compared to the comparable period in 2016. The weighted average yield at cost on our Loan Portfolio, CLO Portfolio and Investment Portfolio was 5.49%, 12.44% and 6.84%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 5.40%, 11.33% and 6.68%, respectively during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Net Expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net expenses increased $0.2 million, or 16.7%, to $1.7 million as compared to the comparable period in 2016. The increase in net expenses was primarily driven by an increase in net operating expenses after the expense reimbursement due to an increase in the Voluntary Expense Cap in 2017as compared to the Prior Expense Cap that resulted in lower expense reimbursement from our Manager.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net expenses increased $0.3 million, or 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the comparable period in 2016. The increase in net expenses was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense due to an increase in LIBOR as well as an increase in net operating expenses after the expense reimbursement due to an increase in the Voluntary Expense Cap in 2017 as compared to the Prior Expense Cap that resulted in lower expense reimbursement from our Manager.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments
Sales and repayments of investments during the three months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $52.9 million resulting in a net realized loss on investments of $3.7 million. Sales and repayments of investments during the six months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $115.8 million resulting in a net realized loss on investments of $3.3 million.
Sales and repayments of investments during the three months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $29.8 million resulting in a net realized loss on investments of $0.4 million. Sales and repayments of investments during the six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $52.8 million resulting in a net realized loss on investments of $1.3 million.
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized net unrealized appreciation on investments of $1.7 million primarily composed of the reversal of net unrealized depreciation related to net realized losses of $3.7 million and net unrealized depreciation on investments of $2.0 million.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized net unrealized appreciation on the investment portfolio of $7.7 million driven by net unrealized appreciation of $3.1 million on the Loan Portfolio and $4.6 million of net unrealized appreciation on the CLO Portfolio. The primary driver for the increase in fair value of the Loan Portfolio was higher prices in the broadly syndicated U.S. loan market as a result of improved loan issuance and tightening yields during the quarter. The increase in fair value of the CLO Portfolio was a result of tightening spreads and increasing trades in CLO equity.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized net unrealized appreciation on investments of $0.9 million primarily composed of the reversal of net unrealized appreciation related to net realized gains of $2.9 million and net unrealized depreciation on investments of $2.0 million. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, for more information on net unrealized depreciation.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized net unrealized appreciation on the investment portfolio of $7.9 million driven by net unrealized appreciation of $5.8 million on the Loan Portfolio and $2.1 million of net unrealized appreciation on the CLO Portfolio. The primary driver for the increase in fair value of the Loan Portfolio was higher prices in the broadly syndicated U.S. loan market as a result of improved inflows and tightening yields during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in fair value of the CLO Portfolio was a result of tightening spreads and increasing trades in CLO equity.
Income Taxes
We have elected be treated as a RIC for income tax purposes. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, we are required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements; additionally, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our ordinary income, including net short term gains in excess of net long term losses. So long as we qualify as a RIC, we generally are not subject to the entity level taxes on earnings timely distributed to our stockholders. At our discretion, we may delay distributions of a portion of our current year taxable income to the subsequent year and pay 4% excise taxes on such deferred distributions as calculated under the Code. If we anticipate paying excise taxes, we accrue excise taxes on a quarterly basis based on our estimates.


38



Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and capital resources arise primarily from our cash flows from operations, borrowings from our wholly owned subsidiary’s secured revolving credit facility and any follow-on equity offerings of common stock and other supplementary financing mechanisms.
In order to qualify as a RIC, we must annually distribute in a timely manner to our stockholders at least 90% of our taxable ordinary income. In addition, we must also distribute in a timely manner to our stockholders all of our taxable ordinary and capital income in order to not be subject to income taxes. Accordingly, our ability to retain earnings is limited.    
Equity Capital
As a BDC, we are generally not able to issue or sell our common stock at a price below our net asset value per share, exclusive of any underwriting discount, except (i) with the prior approval of a majority of our stockholders, (ii) in connection with a rights offering to our existing stockholders or (iii) under such other circumstances as the SEC may permit. As of June 30, 2017, our net asset value was $13.41 per share and our closing market price was $12.85 per share.
Debt Capital
Our wholly owned special purpose financing vehicle, ACSF Funding I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (“ACSF Funding”) is party to a secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (as amended and restated, the “Credit Facility”). Under the Credit Facility, ACSF Funding can borrow up to $135 million with a maturity date of December 18, 2018. The Credit Facility generally bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.80% and also has a commitment fee equal to 0.75% on the unused amount of the commitments to the extent the outstanding amount of loans is less than 90% of the aggregate commitments. The Credit Facility is secured by ACSF Funding’s assets pursuant to a security agreement and contains customary financial and negative covenants and events of default. Advance rates vary on the type of collateral owned by ACSF Funding and can range up to 80%. On January 3, 2017, ACSF Funding entered into an amendment to the documents governing the Credit Facility that amended the relevant provisions of the Credit Facility to reflect the appointment of our Manager as our new investment adviser.
As of June 30, 2017, we had $98.2 million in borrowings outstanding on our Credit Facility. The fair value of the assets owned by ACSF Funding as of June 30, 2017 was $206.9 million and the borrowing base was $149.1 million. On a consolidated basis, as of June 30, 2017, ACSF’s ratio of our principal debt outstanding to stockholders equity was 0.73 to 1. As of June 30, 2017, we had approximately $36.8 million of available capacity on our Credit Facility.
As a BDC, we are permitted to issue “senior securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, in any amount as long as immediately after such issuance our asset coverage is at least 200%, or equal to or greater than our asset coverage prior to such issuance, after taking into account the payment of debt with proceeds from such issuance. Asset coverage is defined in the 1940 Act as the ratio of the value of the total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness. However, if our asset coverage is below 200%, we may also borrow amounts up to 5% of our total assets for temporary purposes even if that would cause our asset coverage ratio to further decline. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our asset coverage was 237% and 230%, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Commitments to extend credit include loans we are obligated to advance, such as delayed draws or revolving credit arrangements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. We do not report the unused portion of these commitments on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $0.1 million of outstanding unused loan commitments.
Distributions to Stockholders
The timing and amount of our distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board. When determining distributions to stockholders, our Board considers estimated taxable income, GAAP income and economic performance. Actual taxable income may differ from GAAP income due to temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments. All distributions to our stockholders are declared out of assets legally available for distribution. We expect that our distributions to stockholders will generally be from accumulated net investment income and from net realized capital gains, if any, as applicable. To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any given fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed to be a tax return of capital to our stockholders. Thus, the source of a distribution to our stockholders may be the original capital invested by the stockholder rather than our taxable ordinary income or capital gains. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our taxable ordinary income or capital gain. The specific tax characteristics are reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of each calendar year.



39



We have elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain our RIC status, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and the excess of net short term gains over the net long term losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 100% of our distributions were made from net investment income. A written statement identifying the nature of these distributions for tax reporting purposes for the year was posted on our website. We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amounts of these distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage requirements applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of favorable RIC tax treatment. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.

We maintain an “opt out” dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a distribution, then stockholders' cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they, or their nominees on their behalf, specifically “opt out” of the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan so as to receive cash distributions. Stockholders that opt out of our dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan may experience dilution over time.
Critical Accounting Policies
See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which describes our critical accounting policies. The recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet required to be adopted by us are as follows.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends the financial instruments impairment guidance so that an entity is required to measure expected credit losses for financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. As such, an entity will use forward-looking information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also amends the guidance in FASB ASC Subtopic No. 325-40, Investments-Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets related to the subsequent measurement of accretable yield recognized as interest income over the life of a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets under the effective yield method. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public business entities that meet the U.S. GAAP definition of an SEC filer, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on the recognition of interest income on our investments in CLO equity.


40



In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2016-15”), which addresses the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other topics. The update provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues including the statement cash flows treatment of beneficial interests in securitized financial transactions as well as the treatment of debt prepayment and extinguishment costs. ASU 2016-15 also provides guidance on the predominance principle to clarify when cash receipts and cash payments should be separated into more than one class of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2017, all of our debt investments bore interest at floating rates, and we expect that our investment portfolio will, in the future, primarily include floating rate debt investments. The interest rates on our debt investments are usually based on a floating LIBOR, and the debt investments typically contain interest rate reset provisions that adjust applicable interest rates to current rates on a periodic basis. As of June 30, 2017, 98% of the debt investments in our portfolio had interest rate floors between 0.75% and 1.25%. In contrast, our Credit Facility has a floating interest rate provision with no LIBOR floor, and therefore, our cost of funds will fluctuate with changes in short-term interest rates.
Assuming no changes to our consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2017, the following table shows the approximate annualized impact to the components of our results of operations from hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates to our Loan Portfolio and debt financing.

Although management believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rates, it does not reflect any potential impact to the fair value of our investments as a result of changes to interest rates, nor does it adjust for potential changes in spreads or changes in the credit market, credit quality, size and composition of the assets in our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and other business developments that could affect the net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations or net investment income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from those shown above.
The above sensitivity analysis does not include our CLO equity investments. CLO equity investments are levered structures that are collateralized primarily with first lien floating rate loans that may have LIBOR floors and are levered primarily with


41



floating rate debt that does not have a LIBOR floor. The residual cash flows available to the equity holders of the CLOs will decline as interest rates increase until interest rates surpass the LIBOR floors on the floating rate loans. However, the revenue recognized on our CLO equity investments is calculated using the effective interest method which incorporates a forward LIBOR curve in the projected cash flows. Any change to base interest rates that is not in-line with the forward LIBOR curve used in the projections, in either the timing or magnitude of the change, or change in spreads will cause actual distributions to differ from the current projections and will impact the related revenue recognized from these investments.
The below graph illustrates the forward LIBOR curve utilized in the projected cash flows from our CLO equity investments as of June 30, 2017(1).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2017, we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be a party to certain ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. We are not currently subject to any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
