HMS Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Principal Business and Organization

HMS Income Fund, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland corporation on November 28, 2011 under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company’s primary investment objective is to generate current income through debt and equity investments. A secondary objective of the Company is to generate long-term capital appreciation through such equity and equity related investments including warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire equity securities. The Company’s portfolio strategy is to invest primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities issued by lower middle market ("LMM") companies, which generally have annual revenues between $10 million and $150 million, and middle market ("Middle Market") companies that are generally larger in size than the LMM companies, with annual revenues typically between $10 million and $3 billion. Our LMM and Middle Market portfolio investments generally range in size from $1 million to $15 million. The Company categorizes some of its investments in LMM companies and Middle Market companies as private loan ("Private Loan") portfolio investments. Private Loan investments, often referred to in the debt markets as “club deals,” are investments, generally in debt instruments, that the Company originates on a collaborative basis with other investment funds. Private Loan investments are typically similar in size, structure, terms and conditions to investments the Company holds in its LMM portfolio and Middle Market portfolio. The Company’s portfolio also includes other portfolio ("Other Portfolio") investments which primarily consist of investments that are not consistent with the typical profiles for its LMM portfolio investments, Middle Market portfolio investments or Private Loan portfolio investments, including investments which may be managed by third parties.

The Company previously registered for sale up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-178548) which was initially declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 4, 2012 (the “Initial Offering”). The Initial Offering terminated on December 1, 2015. The Company raised approximately $601.2 million under the Initial Offering, including proceeds from the dividend reinvestment plan of approximately $22.0 million. The Company also registered for sale up to $1,500,000,000 worth of shares of common stock (the "Offering") pursuant to a new registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-204659), as amended, most recently declared effective on October 6, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had raised approximately $81.7 million in the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $18.3 million.

On August 11, 2016, the Company’s board of directors authorized the closing of the Company’s continuous public offering of common stock to new investors on or about March 31, 2017 (the “Closing”).  However, the board of directors retained its right to provide final approval on the specific terms of the Closing, including its right to accelerate the Closing or to continue the Company’s continuous public offering of common stock if the board of directors determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to do so.

The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, HMS Funding I LLC (“HMS Funding”) and HMS Equity Holding, LLC (“HMS Equity Holding”), were both organized as Delaware limited liability companies in 2014. HMS Funding was created pursuant to the Capital One Credit Facility (as defined below in Note 4 - Borrowings) in order to function as a "Structured Subsidiary," which is permitted to incur debt outside of the Capital One Credit Facility since it is not a guarantor under the Capital One Credit Facility. HMS Equity Holding, which has elected to be a taxable entity, primarily holds equity investments in certain portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes.

The business of the Company is managed by HMS Adviser LP (the “Adviser”), a Texas limited partnership and affiliate of Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), under an Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement dated May 31, 2012, (as amended, the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Company and the Adviser have retained MSC Adviser I, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Main Street Capital Corporation ("Main Street"), a New York Stock Exchange listed BDC, as the Company’s investment sub-adviser, pursuant to an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), to identify, evaluate, negotiate and structure prospective investments, make investment and portfolio management recommendations for approval by the Adviser, monitor the Company’s investment portfolio and provide certain ongoing administrative services to the Adviser. The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are collectively referred to as the “Advisers,” and each is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Upon the execution of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, Main Street became an affiliated person of the Company. The Company has engaged Hines Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), an

7



affiliate of the Adviser, to serve as the Dealer Manager for the Offering. The Dealer Manager is responsible for marketing the Company’s shares of common stock being offered pursuant to the Offering.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Under the 1940 Act rules, regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification, as amended (the "ASC"), of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), Financial Services-Investment Companies, the Company is precluded from consolidating portfolio company investments, including those in which the Company has a controlling interest, unless the portfolio company is a wholly-owned investment company. An exception to this general principle occurs if the Company owns a controlled operating company whose purpose is to provide services to the Company such as an investment adviser or transfer agent. None of the Company’s investments qualifies for this exception. Therefore, the Company’s portfolio company investments, including those in which the Company has a controlling interest, are carried on the balance sheet at fair value, as discussed below, with changes to fair value recognized as “Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations until the investment is realized, usually upon exit, resulting in any gain or loss on exit being recognized as a realized gain or loss. However, in the event that any controlled subsidiary exceeds the tests of significance set forth in Rules 3-09 or 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X, the Company will include required financial information for such subsidiary in the notes or as an attachment to its consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Amounts as of December 31, 2015 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted herein. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which was filed with the SEC on March 11, 2016. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
 
Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets related to selling commissions, dealer manager fees and issuances under our dividend reinvestment plan have been disaggregated as of September 30, 2016. The prior period has been reclassified to conform to this presentation as of September 30, 2016.

Interest, Fee and Dividend Income
 
Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Prepayment penalties received by the Company are recorded as income upon receipt. Dividend income is recorded when dividends are declared by the portfolio company or at the point an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution. Accrued interest and dividend income are evaluated quarterly for collectability. When a debt security becomes 90 days or more past due and the Company does not expect the debtor to be able to service all of its debt or other obligations, the debt security will generally be placed on non-accrual status and the Company will cease recognizing interest income on that debt security until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due. If there is reasonable doubt that the Company will receive any previously accrued interest, then the interest income will be written off. Additionally, if a debt security has deferred interest payment terms and the Company becomes aware of a deterioration in credit quality, the Company will evaluate the collectability of the deferred interest payment. If it is determined that the deferred interest is unlikely to be collected, the Company will place the security on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that debt security until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay the contractual amounts due. Payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the collectability of the remaining principal and interest. If a debt security’s status significantly improves with respect to the debtor’s ability to service the debt or other obligations, or if a debt security is fully impaired, sold or written off, it will be removed from non-accrual status.

8




As of September 30, 2016, the Company had six debt investments in five portfolio companies (four of which were in the oil and gas industry) that were on non-accrual status, including three debt investments in two portfolio companies that were more than 90 days past due. Each of these portfolio companies experienced a significant decline in credit quality raising doubt regarding the Company's ability to collect the principal and interest contractually due. Given the credit deterioration of these portfolio companies, the Company ceased accruing interest income on the non-accrual debt investments and wrote off any previously accrued interest deemed uncollectable. Aside from these six investments on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2016, the Company is not aware of any material changes to the creditworthiness of the borrowers underlying its debt investments.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had three debt investments in two portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status, including two debt investments in one portfolio company that were more than 90 days past due. Each of these portfolio companies experienced a significant decline in credit quality raising doubt around the Company's ability to collect the principal and interest contractually due. Given the credit deterioration of these portfolio companies, the Company has recognized no interest income on two of the three non-accrual debt investments during the year ended December 31, 2015. For the other non-accrual debt investment, an allowance of $196,000 was booked for the interest income recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2015.

From time to time, the Company may hold debt instruments in its investment portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. If these borrowers elect to pay or are obligated to pay interest under the optional PIK provision and, if deemed collectible in management's judgment, then the interest would be computed at the contractual rate specified in the investment’s credit agreement, recorded as interest income and periodically added to the principal balance of the investment. Thus, the actual collection of this interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. The Company stops accruing PIK interest and writes off any accrued and uncollected interest in arrears when it determines that such PIK interest in arrears is no longer collectible.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company held 16 and seven investments, respectively, which contained a PIK provision. As of September 30, 2016, two of the 16 investments with PIK provisions were on non-accrual status. No PIK interest was recorded on these two non-accrual investments during the three months ended September 30, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, two of the seven investments with PIK provisions were on non-accrual status. No PIK interest was recorded on these two non-accrual investments during the year ended December 31, 2015. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company capitalized $131,000 of PIK interest income. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reversed a net $32,000 of capitalized PIK interest since the PIK interest written off during the period was greater than the PIK interest capitalized during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company capitalized $255,000 and $716,000, respectively, of PIK interest income.

The Company may periodically provide services, including structuring and advisory services, to its portfolio companies or other third parties. The income from such services is non-recurring. For services that are separately identifiable and evidence exists to substantiate fair value, income is recognized as earned, which is generally when the investment or other applicable transaction closes. Fees received in connection with debt financing transactions for services that do not meet these criteria are treated as debt origination fees and are deferred and accreted into interest income over the life of the financing.

Offering Costs

In accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Company reimburses the Advisers for any offering costs that are paid on the Company's behalf, which consist of, among other costs, actual legal, accounting, bona

9



fide out-of-pocket itemized and detailed due diligence costs, printing, filing fees, transfer agent costs, postage, escrow fees, advertising and sales literature and other offering costs. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Advisers are responsible for the payment of offering costs to the extent they exceed 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the offering.

The Company has decided to change its accounting treatment of offering costs to more closely follow certain SEC interpretations. Prior to January 1, 2016, offering costs were capitalized as incurred by the Advisers and such costs, up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds, were recorded as a charge to additional paid in capital and a reduction of deferred offering costs. Effective January 1, 2016, offering costs are capitalized as deferred offering costs as incurred by the Company and subsequently amortized to expense over a 12-month period. Deferred offering costs related to an offering will be fully amortized to expense upon the expiration or earlier termination of an offering. The Company currently expects offering costs to be fully amortized by March 31, 2017, the date of the anticipated Closing. The Company evaluated this change in accounting treatment of offering costs and determined that it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for periods prior to January 1, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements under ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the ASC. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to perform the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new guidance will significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosures as to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year for all entities under GAAP. The new guidance will be effective for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new accounting standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.

Note 3 — Fair Value Hierarchy for Investments

Fair Value Hierarchy
 
FASB's ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures ("ASC 820") establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
 
Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the observability of the inputs used to determine fair values. Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
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 inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable for essentially the full term of the investment. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets (for example, thinly traded public companies), pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the investment, and pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the investment.

10



Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Such information may be the result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes for which sufficient observable inputs were not available.

As required by ASC 820, when the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, gains and losses for such investments categorized within the Level 3 table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company conducts reviews of fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain investments.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of debt securities, equity investments, and Other Portfolio investments. The fair value determination for these investments primarily consisted of unobservable (Level 3) inputs.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, all of the Company’s LMM portfolio investments consisted of illiquid securities issued by private companies. The fair value determination for the LMM portfolio investments primarily consisted of unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s LMM portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company's Middle Market portfolio investments consisted primarily of investments in secured and unsecured debt investments and independently rated debt investments. The fair value determination for these investments consisted of a combination of (1) observable inputs in non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were available to determine the fair value of these investments, (2) observable inputs in the non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were not available to determine the fair value of these investments and (3) unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company's Middle Market portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s Private Loan portfolio investments consisted primarily of debt investments. The fair value determination for Private Loan investments consisted of a combination of observable inputs in non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were not available to determine the fair value of these investments and unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s Private Loan portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s Other Portfolio investments consisted of illiquid securities issued by private companies. The Company relies primarily on information provided by managers of private investment funds in valuing these investments and considers whether it is appropriate, in light of all relevant circumstances, to value the Other Portfolio investments at the net asset value reported by the private investment fund at the time of valuation or to adjust the value to reflect a premium or discount. The fair value determination for these investments primarily consisted of unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s Other Portfolio equity investments were categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The fair value determination of the Level 3 securities required one or more of the following unobservable inputs:
 
Financial information obtained from each portfolio company, including unaudited statements of operations and balance sheets for the most recent period available as compared to budgeted numbers;
Current and projected financial condition of the portfolio company;
Current and projected ability of the portfolio company to service its debt obligations;
Type and amount of collateral, if any, underlying the investment;
Current financial ratios (e.g., fixed charge coverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, and net debt/earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") ratio) applicable to the investment;
Current liquidity of the investment and related financial ratios (e.g., current ratio and quick ratio);
Pending debt or capital restructuring of the portfolio company;
Projected operating results of the portfolio company;
Current information regarding any offers to purchase the investment;
Current ability of the portfolio company to raise any additional financing as needed;
Changes in the economic environment which may have a material impact on the operating results of the portfolio company;
Internal occurrences that may have an impact (both positive and negative) on the operating performance of the portfolio company;

11



Qualitative assessment of key management;
Contractual rights, obligations or restrictions associated with the investment;
Third party pricing for securities with limited observability of inputs determining the pricing; and
Other factors deemed relevant.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s LMM equity securities and Private Loan equity securities, which are generally valued through an average of the discounted cash flow technique and the market comparable/enterprise value technique (unless one of these approaches is not applicable), are (i) EBITDA multiples and (ii) the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). Increases (decreases) in EBITDA multiple inputs in isolation could result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. Conversely, increases (decreases) in WACC inputs in isolation could result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s LMM, Middle Market and Private Loan debt investments are (i) risk adjusted discount rates used in the yield-to-maturity valuation technique (described in Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-Valuation of Portfolio Investments in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which was filed with the SEC on March 11, 2016) and (ii) the percentage of expected principal recovery. Increases (decreases) in any of these discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Increases (decreases) in any of these expected principal recovery percentages in isolation could result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. However, due to the nature of certain investments,

fair value measurements may be based on other criteria, such as third-party appraisals of collateral and fair values as determined by independent third parties, which are not presented in the table below.

On September 14, 2016, with the authorization of the Company’s board of directors, the Company declared distributions to its stockholders for the period of October 2016 through December 2016. These distributions have been, or will be, calculated based on stockholders of record each day from October 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 in an amount equal to $0.00191781 per share, per day. Distributions are paid on the first business day following the completion of each month to which they relate.

The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a distribution, its stockholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions that the Company declared and, in some instances, paid on its common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Includes adjustments made to GAAP basis net investment income to arrive at taxable income available for distributions. See Note 7 for the sources of the Company's cash distributions on a tax basis.


18



The Company may fund its cash distributions from all sources of funds legally available, including stock offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies, and fee and expense waivers from the Advisers. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds that the Company may use from legally available sources to make distributions. The Company expects that for the foreseeable future, a portion of the distributions may be paid from sources other than net realized income from operations, which may include stock offering proceeds, borrowings, and fee and expense waivers from the Advisers. See Note 9 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee Waiver.

The Company’s distributions may exceed its earnings and, as a result, a portion of the distributions it makes may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors. 

Note 7 – Taxable Income

The Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC. As a RIC, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on net investment income or capital gains that the Company timely distributes to its stockholders each taxable year from taxable earnings and profits. To qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, the Company must, among other things, satisfy certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, the Company must distribute an amount in each taxable year generally at least equal to 90% of its investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, in order to maintain its ability to be subject to taxation as a RIC (the "Annual Distribution Requirement"). As a part of maintaining its RIC status, undistributed taxable income (subject to a 4% excise tax) pertaining to a given taxable year may be distributed up to 12 months subsequent to the end of that taxable year, provided such distributions are declared prior to the earlier of (1) eight-and-one-half months after the close of that taxable year or (2) the filing of the federal income tax return for such prior taxable year. In order to avoid the 4% excise tax, the Company needs to distribute, in respect of each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of capital loss, or capital gain net income, (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year (or, if the Company so elects for that calendar year) and (3) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding years that was not distributed with respect to such years and on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax (the "Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement"). For the taxable year ended December 31, 2014, approximately $59,000, or $0.0019 per share of the Company's taxable income was distributed in 2015, prior to the filing of its federal income tax return for the 2014 taxable year, and no portion of this amount was subject to the 4% nondeductible excise tax. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2015, the Company distributed $3.8 million, or $0.0615 per share, of its taxable income in 2016, prior to the filing of its federal income tax return for the 2015 taxable year. As a result, the Company was subject to a $119,000 nondeductible excise tax for the 2015 taxable year.

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes, which provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits, if any, in income tax expense. There were no material uncertain income tax positions through September 30, 2016. The 2013 through 2015 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

The Company's taxable income for each period is an estimate and will not be finally determined until the Company files its tax return for each year. Therefore, the final taxable income, and the taxable income earned in each period and carried forward for distribution in the following period, may be different than this estimate.

As of September 30, 2016, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $966.6 million, with such investments having an estimated gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of $16.1 million and $(50.1) million, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $901.0 million, with such investments having an estimated gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of $5.3 million and $(53.3) million, respectively.

The income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities generated by HMS Equity Holding, if any, are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized a net income tax (benefit) provision of $67,000 and $(271,000), respectively, related to deferred taxes of $10.7 million and $(279,000) respectively, and other taxes of $67,000 and $8,000, respectively, offset by a valuation allowance of $(10.7) million and $0, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the other taxes included $67,000 and $8,000, respectively, related to accruals for state and other taxes.

The net deferred tax asset at both September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $0, of which $9.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively, related to current year net loss on portfolio investments and unrealized appreciation/depreciation of portfolio investments held by HMS Equity Holding, and $1.8 million and $187,000, respectively, related to net loss carryforwards from historical realized losses on portfolio investments held by HMS Equity Holding, offset by $925,000 and $599,000, respectively, related to basis differences of portfolio investments held by HMS Equity Holding which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes, and $10.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively, related to a valuation allowance. Based on HMS Equity Holding's short operating history, management believes it is more likely than not that there will be inadequate profits in HMS Equity Holding against which the deferred tax assets can be offset. Accordingly, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against such deferred tax asset.

For federal income tax purposes, the net loss carryforwards expire in various taxable years from 2034 through 2036. The timing and manner in which HMS Equity Holding expects to utilize any net loss carryforwards in such taxable years, or in total, may be limited in the future under the provisions of the Code.

For the years ending December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, the tax characteristics of distributions paid to shareholders were as follows (amounts in thousands):

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually at the end of the Company’s taxable year based upon the Company’s taxable income for the full taxable year and distributions paid for the full taxable year. Therefore, a determination made on an interim basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of distributions for a full year. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to stockholders subject to information reporting shortly after the close of each calendar year on Form 1099-DIV.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal tax regulations, which may differ from amounts determined in accordance with GAAP and those differences could be material. These book-to-tax differences, such as the non-deductible excise tax, have no impact on net assets.

Note 9 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements
 
Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee Waiver
 
The Company and the Adviser have entered into two expense support and conditional reimbursement agreements (as amended from time to time, the “2013 and 2014 Expense Reimbursement Agreements”), pursuant to which the Adviser could pay the Company up to 100% of its operating expenses through December 31, 2014 (the “Expense Support Payment”) in order to achieve a reasonable level of expenses relative to its investment income (the “Operating Expense Objective”). The Company's board of directors, in its sole discretion, may approve the repayment of unreimbursed Expense Support Payments (a “Reimbursement Payment”) upon a determination by the board of directors that the Company has achieved the Operating Expense Objective in any quarter following receipt by the Company of an Expense Support Payment. The Company may reimburse any unreimbursed Expense Support Payments for up to three years from the date each respective Expense Support Payment was determined. Any Expense Support Payments that remain unreimbursed three years after such payment will be permanently waived.

The Company and the Advisers entered into a conditional fee waiver agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement”), pursuant to which the Advisers could waive certain fees through December 31, 2015 upon the occurrence of any event that, in the Advisers’ sole discretion, causes such waivers to be deemed necessary. The previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by the Company, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver.

The Company and the Advisers entered into two conditional income incentive fee waiver agreements (the “2016 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements”) on May 9, 2016 and October 7, 2016, respectively, pursuant to which, for a period from January 1, 2016 through September 30, 2016, the Advisers could waive the “subordinated incentive fee on income,” as such term is defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event that, in the Advisers’ sole discretion, causes such waiver to be deemed necessary. The 2016 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements may require the Company to repay the Advisers for previously waived reimbursement of Expense Support Payments or waived base management fees or incentive fees under certain circumstances.

The previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by the Company, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver. Thus, in any quarter where a surplus exists, that surplus will be available, subject to approval of the board of directors, to reimburse waived fees and Expense Support Payments as follows:

1.
First, to reimburse Expense Support Payments, beginning with the earliest year eligible for reimbursement; and
2.
Second, to reimburse all waived fees, beginning with the earliest year eligible for reimbursement.

Reimbursement of previously waived fees will only be permitted with the approval of the board of directors and if the operating expense ratio is equal to or less than the operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding fees were waived and if the annualized rate of regular cash distributions to stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the regular cash distributions at the time the corresponding fees were waived.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred base management fees of approximately $4.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively, and the Advisers waived no base management fees in either period. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred no capital gains incentive fees in either period, and incurred subordinated incentive fees on income of approximately $0 and $155,000, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Advisers waived no capital gains incentive fees in either period, and waived subordinated incentive fees on income of approximately $0 and $155,000, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred base management fees of approximately $14.1 million and $11.0 million, respectively, and the Advisers waived no base management fees in either period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred no capital gains incentive fees in either period, and incurred subordinated incentive fees on income of approximately $493,000 and $1.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Advisers waived no capital gains incentive fees in either period, and subordinated incentive fees on income of approximately $493,000 and $1.4 million, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not record an accrual for any previously waived fees. Any future reimbursement of previously waived fees to the Advisers will not be accrued until the reimbursement of the waived fees becomes probable and estimable, which will be upon approval of the Company’s board of directors. To date, none of the previously waived fees has been approved by the board of directors for reimbursement.

22




The table below presents the fees waived by the Advisers and the timing of potential reimbursement of waived fees (dollars in thousands). Previously waived fees will only be reimbursed with the approval of the Company's board of directors and if the "Operating Expense Ratio" (as described in footnote 3 to the table below) is equal to or less than the Company's operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding fees were waived and if the annualized rate of the Company's regular cash distributions to stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the Company's regular cash distributions at the time the corresponding fees were waived.

OVERVIEW

We are a specialty finance company sponsored by Hines Interests Limited Partnership ("Hines") that makes debt and equity investments in middle market ("Middle Market") companies, which we define as companies with annual revenues generally between $10 million and $3 billion and in lower middle market ("LMM") companies, which we define as companies with annual revenues generally between $10 million and $150 million. We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). We are, therefore, required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. We have elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company ("RIC"), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Our primary investment objective is to generate current income through debt and equity investments. A secondary objective is to generate long-term capital appreciation through equity and equity related investments, including warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire equity securities. Our portfolio strategy is to invest primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities issued by LMM companies and Middle Market companies in private placements and negotiated transactions, which are traded in private over-the-counter markets for institutional investors. We will also invest in, and a significant portion of our assets are invested in, customized direct secured and unsecured loans to and equity securities of LMM companies, referred to as LMM securities. Typically, our investments in LMM companies require us to co-invest with Main Street Capital Corporation, a New York Stock Exchange listed BDC ("Main Street"), and/or its affiliates as a result of our sub-advisory relationship described below. We categorize some of our investments in LMM companies and Middle Market companies as private loan ("Private Loan") portfolio investments. Private Loan investments, often referred to in the debt markets as “club deals,” are investments, generally in debt instruments, that we originate on a collaborative basis with other investment funds. Private Loan investments are typically similar in size, structure, terms and conditions to investments we hold in our LMM portfolio and Middle Market portfolio. Our portfolio also includes other portfolio ("Other Portfolio") investments which primarily consist of investments that are not consistent with the typical profiles for our LMM portfolio investments, Middle Market portfolio investments or Private Loan portfolio investments, including investments which may be managed by third parties.

We previously registered for sale up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-178548) which was initially declared effective by the SEC on June 4, 2012 (the “Initial Offering”). The Initial Offering terminated on December 1, 2015. We raised approximately $601.2 million in the Initial Offering, including proceeds from the dividend reinvestment plan of approximately $22.0 million. We also registered for sale up to $1,500,000,000 worth of shares of common stock (the "Offering") persuant to a new registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-204659), as amended, most recently declared effective on October 6, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, we had raised approximately $81.7 million in the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $18.3 million.

On August 11, 2016, the board of directors authorized the closing of our continuous public offering of common stock to new investors on or about March 31, 2017 (the “Closing”).  However, the board of directors retained its right to provide final approval on the specific terms of the Closing, including its right to accelerate the Closing or to continue our continuous public offering of common stock if the board of directors determines that it is in the best interests of us and our stockholders to do so.

Our business is managed by the Adviser, an affiliate of Hines, under an Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement dated May 31, 2012, as amended (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). We and the Adviser have retained MSC Adviser I, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Main Street, as our investment sub-adviser pursuant to an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) to identify, evaluate, negotiate and structure prospective investments, make investment and portfolio management recommendations for approval by the Adviser, monitor our investment portfolio and provide certain ongoing administrative services to the Adviser. The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are collectively referred to as the “Advisers,” and each is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Upon the execution of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, Main Street became our affiliate. We have engaged Hines Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Adviser, to serve as the Dealer Manager for our offerings. The Dealer Manager is responsible for marketing our shares of common stock being offered pursuant to our offerings.

As a BDC, we are subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making our investments, including limitations on our ability to co-invest with certain affiliates, including Main Street. However, we received an order from the SEC, that permits us, subject to certain conditions, to co-invest with Main Street in certain transactions originated by Main Street and/or our Advisers. The exemptive relief permits us, and certain of our directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries on one hand, and Main Street and or/certain of its affiliates on the other hand, to co-invest in the same investment opportunities where such investment may otherwise be prohibited under Section 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act. In addition, we may continue to co-invest with Main Street and/or other affiliates in syndicated deals and secondary loan market purchases in accordance with applicable regulatory guidance or interpretations.


28



As of September 30, 2016, we had investments in 76 Middle Market debt investments, 26 Private Loan debt investments, 23 LMM debt investments, 24 LMM equity investments, two Middle Market equity investments, eight Private Loan equity investments and three Other Portfolio investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $932.6 million, a cost basis of approximately $971.0 million, and a weighted average effective annual yield on our investments of approximately 8.5%. The weighted average annual yield was calculated using the effective interest rates for all investments at September 30, 2016, including accretion of original issue discount, amortization of premium to par value and amortization of fees received in connection with transactions. This calculation assumes zero yield for investments on non-accrual status. Approximately 79.8% and 15.1% of our total portfolio investments at fair value (excluding our Other Portfolio investments) were secured by first priority liens and second priority liens on portfolio company assets, respectively, with the remainder in unsecured debt investments and equity investments.
 
The level of new portfolio investment activity will fluctuate from period to period based upon the status of our capital raising efforts under the Offering, our view of the current economic fundamentals, our ability to identify new investment opportunities that meet our investment criteria and our ability to close on the identified transactions. The level of new investment activity and associated interest and fee income will directly impact future investment income. While we intend to grow our portfolio and our investment income over the long-term, our growth and our operating results may be more limited during depressed economic periods. However, we intend to appropriately manage our cost structure and liquidity position based on applicable economic conditions and our investment outlook. The level of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation will also fluctuate depending upon portfolio activity and the performance of our individual portfolio companies. The changes in realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation could have a material impact on our operating results.
 
Investment Income
 
We have generated, and plan to continue to generate, investment income primarily in the form of interest on the debt securities that we hold, dividends and other distributions with respect to any equity interests that we hold and capital gains, if any, on convertible debt or other equity interests that we acquire in portfolio companies. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, and possibly consulting fees and performance-based fees. All such fees will be generated in connection with our investments and recognized as earned or as additional yield over the life of the debt investment. To date our investment income has been interest income on debt investments, accretion of original issue discounts, dividend income, amortization of premiums and fees received from transactions and net realized/unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

Expenses
 
On both a short-term and long-term basis, we expect our primary use of funds to be investments in portfolio companies and cash distributions to our stockholders. Our primary operating expenses include debt service payments, general and administrative expenses, and payment of advisory fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The investment advisory fees paid to our Adviser (and the fees paid by our Adviser to our Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement) compensate our Advisers for their work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. We expect our expenses to fluctuate based upon the amount of assets under management.
 
We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions, including fees and expenses relating to:
  
 
corporate and organizational expenses relating to offerings of our common stock, subject to certain limitations;
  
 
the cost of calculating our net asset value ("NAV"), including the cost of any third-party valuation services;
  
 
the cost of effecting sales and repurchase of shares of our common stock and other securities;
  
 
fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, monitoring our financial and legal affairs, making investments, and valuing investments, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of prospective investments;
  
 
interest payable on debt, if any;
  
 
investment advisory fees;
  
 
transfer agent and custodial fees;
  
 
fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;
  
 
federal and state registration fees;
  
 
federal, state and local taxes;
  
 
independent directors’ fees and expenses, including travel expenses;
  
 
costs of director and stockholder meetings, proxy statements, stockholders’ reports and notices;
  
 
cost of fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance and other insurance premiums;

29



  
 
direct costs such as printing of stockholder reports and advertising or sales materials, mailing, long distance telephone, and staff;
  
 
fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the 1940 Act, and other applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations;
  
 
costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and other applicable federal and state securities laws;
  
 
brokerage commissions for our investments;
  
 
all other expenses incurred by our Advisers in performing their obligations, subject to the limitations included in the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement; and
  
 
all other expenses incurred by us or any administrator in connection with administering our business, including payments under any administration agreement that will be based upon our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by any administrator in performing its obligations under any proposed administration agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs.

During periods of asset growth, we expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable or decline as a percentage of total assets and increase during periods of asset declines.

Base Management and Incentive Fee, Administrative Services Expense Waiver and Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

We and our Adviser have entered into two expense support and conditional reimbursement agreements, as amended from time to time, pursuant to which our Adviser could pay us up to 100% of its operating expenses through December 31, 2014 (the “Expense Support Payment”) in order to achieve a reasonable level of expenses relative to our investment income (the “Operating Expense Objective”). Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may approve the repayment of unreimbursed Expense Support Payments (a “Reimbursement Payment”) upon a determination by the board of directors that we have achieved the Operating Expense Objective in any quarter following our receipt of an Expense Support Payment. We may reimburse any unreimbursed Expense Support Payments within three years from the date each respective Expense Support Payment was determined. Any Expense Support Payments that remain unreimbursed three years after such payment will be permanently waived.

We and our Advisers have entered into a conditional fee waiver agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement”), pursuant to which our Advisers could waive certain fees through December 31, 2015 upon the occurrence of any event that, in our Advisers’ sole discretion, causes such waivers to be deemed necessary. The previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by us, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver.

We and our Advisers have entered into two conditional income incentive fee waiver agreements (the “2016 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements”) on May 9, 2016 and October 7, 2016, respectively, pursuant to which, for a period from January 1, 2016 through September 30, 2016, our Advisers could waive the “subordinated incentive fee on income,” as such term is defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event that, in our Advisers’ sole discretion, causes such waiver to be deemed necessary. The 2016 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements may require us to repay our Advisers for previously waived reimbursement of Expense Support Payments or waived base management fees or incentive fees under certain circumstances.

The previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by us, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver. Thus, in any quarter where a surplus exists, that surplus will be available, subject to approval of the board of directors, to reimburse waived fees and Expense Support Payments as follows:

1.
First, to reimburse Expense Support Payments, beginning with the earliest year eligible for reimbursement; and
2.
Second, to reimburse all waived fees, beginning with the earliest year eligible for reimbursement.

Reimbursement of previously waived fees will only be permitted with the approval of our board of directors and if the operating expense ratio is equal to or less than the operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding fees were waived and if the annualized rate of regular cash distributions to stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the regular cash distributions at the time the corresponding fees were waived.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred base management fees of approximately $4.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively, and our Advisers waived no base management fees in either period. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred no capital gains incentive fees and incurred subordinated incentive fees on income of

30



$0 and $155,000, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our Advisers waived no capital gains incentive fees in either period and waived subordinated incentive fees on income of $0 and $155,000, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred base management fees of approximately $14.1 million and $11.0 million, respectively, and our Advisers waived no base management fees in either period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred no capital gains incentive fees in either period and incurred subordinated incentive fees on income of approximately $493,000 and $1.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our Advisers waived no capital gains incentive fees in either period and waived subordinated incentive fees on income of approximately $493,000 and $1.4 million, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not record an accrual for any previously waived fees. Any future reimbursement of previously waived fees to our Advisers will not be accrued until the reimbursement of the waived fees become probable and estimable, which will be upon approval of our board of directors. To date, none of the previously waived fees has been approved by our board of directors for reimbursement.

For more information on our fee waivers and expense reimbursements, see Note 9 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangement - Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee Waiver to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Administration

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, we are required to pay or reimburse our Advisers for administrative services expenses, which include all costs and expenses related to our day-to-day administration and management not related to advisory services. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred, and our Advisers waived the reimbursement of, administrative services expenses of approximately $529,000 and $517,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred, and our Advisers waived the reimbursement of, administrative services expenses of approximately $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. On May 9, 2016 and October 7, 2016, we and the Advisers agreed to amendments to the 2014 Expense Reimbursement Agreement, which extended the period for waiver of reimbursement of administrative expenses accrued pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement through December 31, 2016. The waiver of the reimbursement of administrative service expenses is not subject to future reimbursement.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Each of our critical accounting policies involves the use of estimates that require management to make assumptions that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A disclosure of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during 2016, except as described below.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Under the 1940 Act rules, regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification, as amended, of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, Financial Services-Investment Companies, we are precluded from consolidating portfolio company investments, including those in which we have a controlling interest, unless the portfolio company is a wholly-owned investment company. An exception to this general principle occurs if we own a controlled operating company whose purpose is to provide services to us such as an investment adviser or transfer agent. None of the investments we have made qualifies for this exception. Therefore, our portfolio company investments, including those in which we have a controlling interest, are carried on the balance sheet at fair value with changes to fair value recognized as “Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations until the investment is realized, usually upon exit, resulting in any gain or loss on exit being recognized as a realized gain or loss. However, in the event that any controlled subsidiary exceeds the tests of significance set forth in Rules 3-09 or 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X, we will include required financial information for such subsidiary in the notes or as an attachment to our consolidated financial statements.

Offering Costs

In accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, we reimburse our Advisers for any offering costs that are paid on our behalf, which consist of, among other costs, actual legal, accounting, bona fide out-of-pocket itemized and detailed due diligence costs, printing, filing fees, transfer agent costs, postage, escrow fees, advertising and sales literature and other offering costs. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, our Advisers are responsible for the payment of offering costs to the extent they exceed 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds from our offering.

We changed our accounting treatment of offering costs to follow more closely certain SEC interpretations. Prior to January 1, 2016, offering costs were capitalized as incurred by our Advisers, and such costs, up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds, were recorded as a charge to additional paid in capital and a reduction of deferred offering costs. Effective January 1, 2016, we capitalize offering costs as deferred offering costs as incurred by us and subsequently amortize such costs to expense over a 12-month period. Deferred offering costs related to an offering will be fully amortized to expense upon the expiration or earlier termination of an offering. We currently expect offering costs to be fully amortized by March 31, 2017, the date of the anticipated Closing.

As of September 30, 2016, our Advisers have been reimbursed approximately $10.2 million since inception for offering costs. As of September 30, 2016, our Advisers carried a balance of $1.2 million for offering expenses incurred on our behalf, net of (i) incremental offering expenses incurred by our Advisers on our behalf and (ii) our Reimbursement Payments to our Advisers and any payable balances for reimbursement of offering costs.

PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT COMPOSITION

Our Middle Market portfolio investments primarily consist of direct or secondary purchases of interest-bearing debt securities in companies that are generally larger in size than the LMM companies included in our LMM portfolio. While our Middle Market debt investments are generally secured by a first priority lien, 19.9% of the fair value of our Middle Market portfolio is secured by second priority liens.
 
Our current LMM portfolio consists of debt investments secured by first and second priority liens (65.0% and 3.7% of the total fair value of the LMM portfolio, respectively) on the assets of the portfolio companies and equity investments (31.3% of the total fair value of the LMM portfolio) in privately held LMM companies as of September 30, 2016. The LMM debt investments generally mature between five and seven years from the original investment date. The LMM equity investments represent an equity position or the right to acquire an equity position through warrants.

Our Private Loan portfolio primarily consists of debt investments secured by first and second priority liens (87.9% and 4.6% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio, respectively) on the assets of the portfolio companies, unsecured debt investments (5.7% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio) and equity investments (1.8% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio) in Private Loan companies as of September 30, 2016. The Private Loan debt investments typically have stated terms between three and seven years from the original investment date. The Private Loan equity investments represent an equity position or the right to acquire an equity position through warrants.

Our Other Portfolio investments consist of investments which are not consistent with the typical profiles for LMM, Middle Market and Private Loan portfolio investments, including investments which may be managed by third parties. In the Other Portfolio investments, we may incur indirect fees and expenses in connection with investments managed by third parties, such as investments in other investment companies or private funds.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we funded investment purchases of approximately $275.1 million and had four investments under contract to purchase as of September 30, 2016, for approximately $30.4 million, which settled or we scheduled to settle after September 30, 2016. We also received proceeds from sales and repayments of existing portfolio investments of approximately $222.4 million including $85.2 million in sales. Additionally, we had two investments under contract to sell as of September 30, 2016, for approximately $2.6 million, which represented the contract sales price. The combined result of these transactions increased our portfolio, on a cost basis, by approximately $66.3 million, or 7.3%, and the number of portfolio investments by 15, or 10.2%, compared to the portfolio as of December 31, 2015. As of September 30, 2016, the largest investment in an individual portfolio company represented approximately 2.0% of our portfolio’s fair value with the remaining investments in an individual portfolio company ranging from 0.02% to 1.7%. The average investment in our portfolio is approximately $5.8 million or 0.6% of the total portfolio. As a result of these transactions, our portfolio has become increasingly broadened across individual portfolio investments, geographic regions, and industries. Further, our total portfolio's investment composition (excluding our Other Portfolio investments) at fair value is comprised of 79.8% first lien debt securities, 15.1% second lien debt securities, with the remainder in unsecured debt investments and equity investments. First lien debt securities have priority over subordinated debt owed by the issuer with respect to the collateral pledged as security for the loan. Due to the relative priority of payment of first lien investments, these generally have lower yields than lower priority, less secured investments.

32




During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we made investment purchases of approximately $534.0 million and had nine investments under contract to purchase as of September 30, 2015 for approximately $39.0 million, which settled after September 30, 2015. We also received proceeds from sales and repayments of existing portfolio investments of approximately $110.8 million including $24.6 million in sales and had two investments under contract to sell as of September 30, 2015 for approximately $2.5 million, which represented the contract sales price.

The result of these transactions further diversified our geographic and industry concentrations and based upon our investment rating system, which is described further below, the weighted average rating of our LMM was approximately 2.6 and 3.0 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Lastly, the overall weighted average effective yield on our investment portfolio has increased from 8.3% as of December 31, 2015 to 8.5% as of September 30, 2016.

PORTFOLIO ASSET QUALITY
  
As of September 30, 2016, we owned a broad portfolio of 162 investments in 124 companies representing a wide range of industries. We believe that this broad portfolio adds to the structural protection of the portfolio, revenue sources, income, cash flows and dividends. The portfolio included the following:

76 debt investments in 73 Middle Market portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $630.5 million and a cost basis of approximately $671.5 million. The Middle Market debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 8.3%, which is calculated assuming the investments on non-accrual status are non-yielding, and 80.1% of the Middle Market debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 88.4% of the Middle Market investments contain variable rates, though a majority of the investments with variable rates are subject to contractual minimum base interest rates between 100 and 150 basis points.

26 debt investments in 25 Private Loan portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $177.6 million and a cost basis of approximately $179.8 million. The Private Loan debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 9.1%, which is calculated assuming the investments on non-accrual status are non-yielding, and 89.5% of the Private Loan debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 91.8% of the Private Loan debt investments contain variable rates, though a majority of the investments with variable rates are subject to contractual minimum base interest rates between 100 and 150 basis points.


33



23 debt investments in 20 LMM portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $70.3 million and a cost basis of approximately $69.9 million. The LMM debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 12.1% and 94.6% of the debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 42.4% of the LMM debt investments are fixed rate investments with fixed interest rates between 7.0% and 13.0%. Further, 12 LMM debt investments, representing approximately 57.6% of the LMM debt investments have variable rates subject to a contractual minimum base interest rate of 100 basis points.

27 equity investments and 10 equity warrant investments in 20 LMM portfolio companies, five Private Loan portfolio companies, two Middle Market portfolio companies and three Other Portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $54.2 million and a cost basis of approximately $49.8 million.

Overall, our investment portfolio had a weighted average effective yield on our investments of approximately 8.5%, and 78.3% of our total portfolio's investment composition (including our Other Portfolio investments) was secured by first priority liens.

As of September 30, 2016, we had six investments in five portfolio companies (four of which were in the oil & gas industry) that were on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 1.4% of our total investment portfolio at fair value and 3.2% of the total investment portfolio at cost. As of December 31, 2015, we had three investments in two portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status. These two investments on non-accrual status comprised approximately 0.4% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and 1.3% of the total investment portfolio at cost. For those investments in which S&P credit ratings are available, approximately 40.2% of the portfolio, the portfolio had a weighted average effective credit rating of B.

We utilize a rating system developed by our Sub-Adviser to rate the performance of each LMM portfolio company. The investment rating system takes into consideration various factors, including each investment’s expected level of returns, collectability, comparisons to competitors and other industry participants, and the portfolio company’s future outlook.

Investment Rating 1 represents a LMM portfolio company that is performing in a manner which significantly exceeds expectations.
Investment Rating 2 represents a LMM portfolio company that, in general, is performing above expectations.
Investment Rating 3 represents a LMM portfolio company that is generally performing in accordance with expectations. All new LMM portfolio investments receive an initial Investment Rating 3.
Investment Rating 4 represents a LMM portfolio company that is underperforming expectations, requiring increased monitoring and scrutiny by us.
Investment Rating 5 represents a LMM portfolio company that is significantly underperforming, requiring heightened levels of monitoring and scrutiny by us and involves the recognition of significant unrealized depreciation on such investment.

The following table shows the distribution of our LMM portfolio investments on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS COMPARISONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

Total Investment Income, Expenses, Net Assets
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our total investment income was approximately $22.2 million and $17.3 million, respectively, consisting predominately of interest income. As of September 30, 2016 the portfolio had a weighted average annual effective yield on investments of approximately 8.5% compared to 8.3% as of September 30, 2015, and our average

34



investment portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $931.5 million compared to $815.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we accreted approximately $2.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of unearned income into interest income. The increase in interest income was primarily due to the growth in our total portfolio resulting from the investment of additional equity capital raised and borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility with Capital One, National Association as administrative agent (the "Capital One Credit Facility") and the amended and restated credit agreement entered into by HMS Funding I, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch as administrative agent (the "Deutsche Bank Credit Facility," and, together with our Capital One Credit Facility, the "Credit Facilities"). We believe further increases in investment income in future periods may arise due to (i) a growing base of portfolio company investments and (ii) investments being held for the entire period relative to incremental net investment activity during each quarter. For information on the Credit Facilities, see Note 4 - Borrowings to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, expenses, net of incentive fee and administrative services expense waivers, were approximately $9.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The increase in expenses is primarily due to increases in management fees of $627,000, interest expense of $744,000, and other general and administrative expense of $228,000. Management fees increased primarily due to an increase in the average gross assets. Interest expense increased due to an increase in our average borrowings during the period. Average borrowings were $396.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $349.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, interest expense was higher for the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to the increase in amortization of deferred financing costs as a result of costs paid in connection with the Credit Facilities. Further, the annualized interest rate on our borrowings increased from approximately 3.0% as of September 30, 2015 to approximately 3.3% as of September 30, 2016. Other general and administrative expenses increased due to additional banking costs, trade costs and other costs associated with the increase in overall portfolio size.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations (gross of stockholder distributions declared) was approximately $22.3 million. The increase was attributable to unrealized appreciation on investments of approximately $11.8 million and net investment income of approximately $12.5 million, offset by net realized losses of approximately $1.9 million. The realized losses were primarily the result of a realized loss of $1.9 million relating to the restructure of one Middle Market investment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations (gross of stockholder distributions declared) was approximately $9.8 million. The increase was primarily attributable to unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $19.3 million, offset by net investment income of approximately $9.5 million.

RESULTS COMPARISONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

Total Investment Income, Expenses, Net Assets
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our total investment income was approximately $64.7 million and $44.5 million, respectively, consisting predominately of interest income. As of September 30, 2016 the portfolio had a weighted average annual effective yield on investments of approximately 8.5% compared to 8.3% as of September 30, 2015, and our average investment portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $893.4 million compared to $691.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we accreted approximately $7.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of unearned income into interest income. The increase in interest income was primarily due to the growth in our total portfolio resulting from the investment of additional equity capital raised and borrowings under the Credit Facilities. We believe further increases in investment income in future periods may arise due to (i) a growing base of portfolio company investments and (ii) investments being held for the entire period relative to incremental net investment activity during each quarter. For information on the Credit Facilities, see Note 4 - Borrowings to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, expenses, net of incentive fee and administrative services expense waivers, were approximately $27.9 million and $19.8 million, respectively. The increase in expenses is primarily due to increases in management fees of $3.1 million, interest expense of $3.6 million, and other general and administrative expense of $575,000. Management fees increased primarily due to an increase in the average gross assets. Interest expense increased due to an increase in our average borrowings during the period. Average borrowings were $391.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $286.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, interest expense was higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to the increase in amortization of deferred financing costs as a result of costs paid in connection with the Credit Facilities. Further, the annualized interest rate on our borrowings increased from approximately 3.0% as of September 30, 2015 to approximately 3.3% as of September 30, 2016. Other general and administrative expenses increased due to additional banking costs, trade costs and other costs associated with the increase in overall portfolio size.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations (gross of stockholder distributions declared) was approximately $37.8 million. The increase was attributable to net investment income of approximately $36.8 million and unrealized appreciation on investments of approximately $12.9 million, offset by net realized losses of approximately $12.0 million. The realized losses were primarily the result of (i) the realized loss of $8.8 million relating to the restructure of two Middle Market investments and (ii) the realized loss of $2.4 million relating to the exit of one Middle Market investment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations (gross of stockholder distributions declared) was approximately $13.3 million. The increase was primarily attributable to net investment income of approximately $24.7 million and realized gains of approximately $130,000, offset by unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $11.5 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

As of September 30, 2016, we had approximately $40.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, and our NAV totaled approximately $562.0 million, equating to approximately $7.92 per share. The change from the December 31, 2015 NAV per share of $7.88 was largely due to unrealized appreciation on investments in the portfolio, offset by realized losses on investments in the portfolio. The unrealized appreciation on investments in our portfolio was primarily driven by the continuing recovery of the high yield bond and leveraged loan markets. The realized losses on investments in our portfolio were primarily driven by the restructuring of certain investments in the oil and gas sector.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Flows

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16.0 million. During that period, approximately $20.3 million of cash was used in our operating activities, which principally consisted of the purchase of new portfolio investments of $275.1 million, offset by a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $37.8 million and principal repayments from and sales of investments in portfolio companies of $222.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, approximately $36.3 million was generated from financing activities, which principally consisted of a net $5.0 million increase in borrowings under the Credit Facilities, and $56.5 million in net stock offering proceeds received offset by $16.4 million in cash distributions paid to stockholders, and $8.4 million in cash used for the redemption of our common stock.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.2 million. During that period, approximately $401.4 million of cash was used in our operating activities, which principally consisted of the purchase of new portfolio debt investments of $534.0 million, offset by a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $13.3 million and principal repayments from and sales of investments in portfolio companies of $110.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $400.2 million was generated from financing activities, which principally consisted of a net $212.1 million increase in borrowings under the Credit Facilities and $203.6 million in net stock offering proceeds received, offset by $10.6 million in cash distributions paid to stockholders, $1.4 million in cash used for the redemption of our common stock and $3.5 million paid for financing costs related to amendments to the Credit Facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Initial Offering and Offering
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we raised proceeds of $81.7 million from the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan, and incurred $5.7 million for selling commissions and Dealer Manager fees. We also incurred an obligation for $1.2 million of costs related to the Offering.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we raised proceeds of $243.0 million from the Initial Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan, and incurred $20.5 million for selling commissions and Dealer Manager fees. We also incurred an obligation for $3.6 million of costs related to the Initial Offering.

On September 14, 2016, with the authorization of our board of directors, we declared distributions to our stockholders for the period of October 2016 through December 2016. These distributions have been, or will be, calculated based on stockholders of record each day from October 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 in an amount equal to $0.00191781 per share, per day. Distributions are paid on the first business day following the completion of each month to which they relate.
 
For the years ending December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, the tax characteristics of distributions paid to shareholders were as follow (amounts in thousands):

The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is made annually at the end of our taxable year, based upon our taxable income for the full taxable year and distributions paid for the full taxable year. Therefore, a determination made on an interim basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of distributions for a full year, The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will reported to stockholders subject to information reporting after the close of each calendar year on Form 1099-DIV.

We have adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for our stockholders. As a result, if we make a distribution, our stockholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock.
 
We may fund our cash distributions from any sources of funds legally available, including stock offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and fee waivers from our Advisers. We have not established any limit on the extent to which we may use borrowings or stock offering proceeds to fund distributions. Our distributions may exceed our earnings, especially during the period before we have substantially invested the stock offering proceeds. As a result, a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors.
 
In order to satisfy the Code's requirements applicable to maintaining our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC, we must distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our taxable income each taxable year. However, we may elect to spill over certain excess undistributed taxable income from one taxable year into the next taxable year, which generally would subject us to a 4% non-deductible excise tax on such excess undistributed taxable income. In order to avoid the imposition of the 4% non-deductible excise tax, we need to distribute, in respect of each calendar year dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain in excess of capital loss, or capital gain net income, adjusted for certain ordinary losses, for the one-year period ending on October 31st of such calendar year (or, if we so elect, for the calendar year) and (3) any net ordinary

37



income and capital gain net income for the preceding calendar years that was not distributed during such calendar years and on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax.

Financing Arrangements

We anticipate that we will continue to fund our investment activities through existing cash, capital raised from our stock offerings, and borrowings on the Credit Facilities. Our primary uses of funds in both the short-term and long-term are expected to be investments in portfolio companies, operating expenses and cash distributions to holders of our common stock.
 
As of September 30, 2016, we had $60.0 million outstanding and $65.0 million available under our Capital One Credit Facility, and $325.0 million outstanding and $60.0 million available under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, both of which we estimated approximated fair value. Availability under the Credit Facilities is subject to certain limitations and the asset coverage restrictions under the 1940 Act. For further information on our Credit Facilities, including key terms and financial covenants, refer to Note 4-Borrowings to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
As a BDC, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities, which include borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. As of September 30, 2016, our asset coverage ratio under BDC regulations was 236% when including unfunded commitments as a senior security. As of December 31, 2015, our asset coverage ratio under BDC regulations was 219% when including unfunded commitments as a senior security. As of September 30, 2016, considering these limitations, we had the ability to draw upon the entire $125.0 million of remaining capacity in the Credit Facilities.

Although we have been able to secure access to potential additional liquidity, through proceeds from the Offering and also by entering into the Credit Facilities, there is no assurance that equity or debt capital will be available to us in the future on favorable terms, or at all.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with our Advisers and our Dealer Manager, whereby we pay certain fees and reimbursements to these entities. These include payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions and the Dealer Manager fee and payments to our Adviser for reimbursement of offering costs. In addition, we make payments for certain services that include the identification, execution, and management of our investments and also the management of our day-to-day operations provided to us by our Advisers, pursuant to various agreements that we have entered into. See Note 9-Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding related party transactions.

Contractual Obligations
 
As of September 30, 2016, we had $385.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facilities. Unless extended, our Capital One Credit Facility will expire March 11, 2017, and the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility will mature on June 16, 2020. Our Capital One Credit Facility has two, one-year extension options, with lender approval that, if approved and exercised, would permit us to extend the maturity to March 11, 2019. See Note 4-Borrowings to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q for a description of the Credit Facilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
At September 30, 2016, we had a total of approximately $27.1 million in outstanding commitments comprised of (i) 19 commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans that had not been funded and (ii) two capital commitments that had not been fully called. We recognized unrealized depreciation of approximately $308,000 on our outstanding unfunded

loan commitments and unrealized appreciation of approximately $14,000 on our outstanding unfunded capital commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We reasonably believe that we have sufficient assets to adequately cover and allow us to satisfy our outstanding unfunded commitments. At December 31, 2015, we had a total of approximately $34.1 million in outstanding commitments comprised of (i) 14 commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans that had not been funded and (ii) three capital commitments that had not been fully called. We recognized unrealized depreciation of approximately $79,000 on our outstanding unfunded loan commitments and unrealized depreciation of approximately $14,000 on our outstanding unfunded capital commitments during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We are subject to financial market risks, in particular changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect our interest income from portfolio investments, the fair value of our fixed income investments, and our cost of funding.
 
Our interest income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates, to the extent any of our debt investments include floating interest rates. We generally invest in floating rate debt instruments, meaning that the interest rate payable on such instrument resets periodically based upon changes in a specified interest rate index, typically the one-month or three-month LIBOR. As of September 30, 2016, approximately 85.9% of our LMM, Private Loan, and Middle Market portfolio debt investments (based on cost) contained floating interest rates. At September 30, 2016, the one-month LIBOR was approximately 0.53% and the three-month LIBOR was approximately 0.85%. However, many of our investments provide that the specified interest rate index on such instruments will never fall below a level, or floor, generally between 100 and 150 basis points regardless of the level of the specified index rate. Given that most floating rate debt investments have index floors at or above 100 basis points, a decline in index rates is not expected to result in a change to interest income.

In addition, any fluctuations in prevailing interest rates may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments and result in changes in unrealized gains and losses, and may also affect a net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations. Such changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation will materialize into realized gains and losses if we sell our investments before their respective debt maturity dates.

Further, because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income is partially dependent upon the difference between the interest rate at which we invest borrowed funds and the interest rate at which we borrow funds. In periods of rising interest rates and when we have borrowed capital with floating interest rates, our interest expense will increase, which will increase our financing costs and reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed-rate debt investments. 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.
 
The following table shows the approximate annualized increase or decrease (dollars in thousands) in the components of net investment income due to hypothetical interest rate index changes, assuming no changes in our investments and borrowings as of September 30, 2016.

Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of our existing sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for changes in the credit market, credit quality, the size and composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments, including borrowing under the Credit Facilities or other borrowings, that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, we can offer no assurances that actual results would not differ materially from the analysis above.

If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of September 30, 2016, we had not entered into any interest rate hedging arrangements.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.
 
In accordance with the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2016, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No change occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act), during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.
 
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, that we filed with the SEC on March 11, 2016.
