* Together with ORIX Funds Corp. (“Orix”), the Company co-invests through HMS-ORIX SLF LLC (“HMS-ORIX”), which is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement and through representation on the HMS-ORIX Board of Managers, the Company and Orix each have 50% voting control of HMS-ORIX and together will agree on all portfolio and investment decisions as well as all other significant actions for HMS-ORIX. Therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of HMS-ORIX, the Company does not have control over HMS-ORIX for purposes of the 1940 Act or otherwise.
** Gross additions include increases in the cost basis of investments resulting from new portfolio investments, PIK interest, the amortization of unearned income, the exchange of one or more existing securities for one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company into this category from a different category.
*** Gross reductions include decreases in the cost basis of investments resulting from principal collections related to investment repayments or sales, the exchange of one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company out of this category into a different category.
(7) Principal is net of repayments. Cost represents amortized cost which is net of repayments and adjusted for the amortization of premiums and/or accretion of discounts, as applicable.
(8) Index based floating interest rate is subject to contractual minimum interest rates.
(9) The investment is not a qualifying asset in an eligible portfolio company under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. A business development company (“BDC”) may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets in eligible portfolio companies unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the BDC’s total assets. As of March 31, 2018, approximately 16.0% of the Company’s total assets were considered non-qualifying.
(10) Investment is classified as a Lower Middle Market investment.
(11) Investment is classified as a Private Loan portfolio investment.
(12) Investment or portion of investment is under contract to purchase and met trade date accounting criteria as of March 31, 2018. Settlement occurred or is scheduled to occur after March 31, 2018.
(13) Investment serviced by Main Street Capital Corporation pursuant to servicing arrangements with the Company.
(14) Second lien secured debt investment.
(15) Investment is classified as an Other Portfolio investment.
(16) Income producing through dividends or distributions.
(17) Unsecured debt investment.
(18) Investment is on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2018.
(19) Maturity date is under on-going negotiations with the portfolio company and other lenders, if applicable.
(20) Short term investments represent an investment in a fund that invests in highly liquid investments with average original maturity dates of three months or less.
(21) Effective yield as of March 31, 2018 was approximately 0.25% at US Bank Money Market Account and 1.29% at Fidelity Institutional Money Market Funds.
(22) The 1, 2, 3, and 6-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rates were 1.88%, 2.00%, 2.31% and 2.45%, respectively, as of March 31, 2018. The actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of March 31, 2018, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to March 31, 2018. The prime rate was 4.75% as of March 31, 2018.
(23) The Company has entered into an intercreditor agreement that entitles the Company to the "last out" tranche of the first lien secured loans, whereby the "first out" tranche receives priority over the "last out" tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. Therefore, the Company receives a higher interest rate than the contractual stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 7.50% (Floor 1.00%) per the credit agreement and the Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Investments above reflects such higher rate.
(24) As part of the credit agreement with the portfolio company, the Company is entitled to the "last out" tranche of the first lien secured loans, whereby the "first out" tranche receives priority over the "last out" tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. The rate the Company receives per the credit agreement is the same as the rate reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Investments above.
(25) The Company has entered into an intercreditor agreement that entitles the Company to the "first out" tranche of the first lien secured loans, whereby the "first out" tranche receives priority over the "last out" tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. Therefore, the Company receives a lower interest rate than the contractual stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 6.64% (Floor 1.00%) per the credit agreement and the Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Investments above reflects such lower rate.
(26) The fair value of the investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs. See Note 3 - Fair Value Hierarchy for Investments.

* Together with Orix, the Company co-invests through HMS-ORIX, which is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement and through representation on the HMS-ORIX Board of Managers, the Company and Orix each have 50% voting control of HMS-ORIX and together will agree on all portfolio and investment decisions as well as all other significant actions for HMS-ORIX. Therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of HMS-ORIX, the Company does not have control over HMS-ORIX for purposes of the 1940 Act or otherwise.
** Gross additions include increases in the cost basis of investments resulting from new portfolio investments, PIK interest, the amortization of unearned income, the exchange of one or more existing securities for one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company into this category from a different category.
*** Gross reductions include decreases in the cost basis of investments resulting from principal collections related to investment repayments or sales, the exchange of one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company out of this category into a different category.
(7) Principal is net of repayments. Cost represents amortized cost which is net of repayments and adjusted for the amortization of premiums and/or accretion of discounts, as applicable.
(8) Index based floating interest rate is subject to contractual minimum interest rates.
(9) The investment is not a qualifying asset under the 1940 Act. A BDC may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the BDC’s total assets. As of December 31, 2017, approximately 13.9% of the Company’s investments were considered non-qualifying.
(10) Investment is classified as a Lower Middle Market investment.
(11) Investment is classified as a Private Loan portfolio investment.
(12) Investment or portion of investment is under contract to purchase and met trade date accounting criteria as of December 31, 2017. Settlement occurred or is scheduled to occur after December 31, 2017. See Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for Summary of Security Transactions.

(19) Maturity date is under on-going negotiations with the portfolio company and other lenders, if applicable.
(20) Short term investments represent an investment in a fund that invests in highly liquid investments with average original maturity dates of three months or less.
(21) Effective yield as of December 31, 2017 was approximately 0.01%.
(22) The 1, 2, 3 and 6 month LIBOR rates were 1.57%, 1.62%, 1.69% and 1.84%, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. The actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of December 31, 2017, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to December 31, 2017. The prime rate was 4.50% as of December 31, 2017.
(23) The Company has entered into an intercreditor agreement that entitles the Company to the "last out" tranche of the first lien secured loans, whereby the "first out" tranche receives priority over the "last out" tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. Therefore, the Company receives a higher interest rate than the contractual stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 7.50% (Floor 1.00%) per the credit agreement and the Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Investments above reflects such higher rate.
(24) As part of the credit agreement with the portfolio company, the Company is entitled to the "last out" tranche of the first lien secured loans, whereby the "first out" tranche receives priority over the "last out" tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. The rate the Company receives per the credit agreement is the same as the rate reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Investments above.
(25) The Company has entered into an intercreditor agreement that entitles the Company to the "first out" tranche of the first lien secured loans, whereby the "first out" tranche receives priority over the "last out" tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. Therefore, the Company receives a lower interest rate than the contractual stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 6.64% (Floor 1.00%) per the credit agreement and the Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Investments above reflects such lower rate.
(26) The fair value of the investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs. See Note 3 - Fair Value Hierarchy for Investments.

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 management 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 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. The Company’s 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 primarily consisting of the Company’s investment in HMS-ORIX (see Note 4 - Investment in HMS-ORIX SLF LLC) and investments managed by third parties, which differ from the typical profiles for the Company’s other types of investments.

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. With the approval of the Company’s board of directors, the Company closed the Offering to new investors effective September 30, 2017. Through March 31, 2018, the Company raised approximately $191.0 million in the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $59.3 million.

The Company has three 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 and HMS Equity Holding II, Inc. (“HMS Equity Holding II”) was organized as a Delaware corporation. HMS Funding was created pursuant to the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility (as defined below in Note 5 - Borrowings) in order to function as a “Structured Subsidiary,” which is permitted to incur debt outside of the EverBank Credit Facility since it is not a guarantor under the EverBank Credit Facility. HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II, which have elected to be taxable entities, primarily hold 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 as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Upon the execution of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, Main Street became an affiliate of the Company. The Company’s board of directors most recently reapproved the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on May 10, 2018. The Company engaged Hines Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Adviser, to serve as the Dealer Manager for our offerings, if any.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
The accompanying condensed 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 Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X and Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, of the Accounting Standards Codification, as amended (the “ASC”), of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value, as discussed below, with changes to fair value recognized as “Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments” on the Condensed 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 condensed 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, 2017 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 accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on March 21, 2018.
 
Interest, Fee and Dividend Income
 
Interest and dividend income are 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, it 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.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had five debt investments in four portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status, all of which 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 uncollectible. As of March 31, 2018, the Company is not aware of any other material changes to the creditworthiness of the borrowers underlying its debt investments.


8


As of December 31, 2017, the Company had four debt investments in three portfolio companies that were more than 90 days past due, all of which were on non-accrual status. 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, the Company ceased accruing interest income on the non-accrual debt investments and wrote off any previously accrued interest deemed uncollectible.

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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company held 18 and 19 investments, respectively, which contained a PIK provision. As of March 31, 2018, two of the 18 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 March 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2017, three of the 19 investments with PIK provisions were on non-accrual status. No PIK interest was recorded on these investments during the year ended December 31, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company capitalized $212,000 and $320,000, respectively, of PIK interest income. 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.

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. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $334,000 and $785,000, respectively, of non-recurring fee income received from its portfolio companies or other third parties, which accounted for approximately 1.3% and 3.1%, respectively, of the Company’s total investment income during such period. 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014‑09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements under ASC 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 March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarified the implementation guidance regarding performance obligations and licensing arrangements. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)-Narrow‑Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarified guidance on assessing collectability, presenting sales tax, measuring non-cash consideration, and certain transition matters. The new guidance is effective for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017. Substantially all of the Company’s income is not within the scope of ASU 2014-09. For those income items that are within the scope of ASU 2014-09 (primarily fee income), the Company has similar performance obligations as compared with deliverables and separate units of account previously identified. As a result, the Company’s timing of its revenue recognition remains the same and the adoption of the standard was not material.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities which amends the guidance related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities. The guidance requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The

9


ASU will also amend the guidance related to the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value and certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of the adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which addresses eight specific cash flow issues including, among other things, the classification of debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and the interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The impact of the adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230),” which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendment should be adopted retrospectively. The impact of the adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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. The Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards and any that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

Note 3 — Fair Value Hierarchy for Investments

Fair Value Hierarchy
 
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.
•
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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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.

10



As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 (“NAV”) 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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

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;
•
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, 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, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on March 21, 2018) and (ii) the percentage of expected principal recovery. Increases (decreases) in any of these discount rates in isolation could 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 significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. 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

12


(decreases) in EBITDA multiple inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Conversely, increases (decreases) in WACC inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) 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.

Note 4 — Investment in HMS-ORIX SLF LLC

On April 4, 2017, the Company and ORIX Funds Corp. (“Orix”), entered into a limited liability company agreement to co-manage HMS-ORIX SLF LLC (“HMS-ORIX”), which invests primarily in broadly-syndicated loans. Pursuant to the terms of the limited liability agreement and through representation on the HMS-ORIX Board of Managers, the Company and Orix each have 50% voting control of HMS-ORIX and together are required to agree on all portfolio and investment decisions as well as all other significant actions for HMS-ORIX. The Company does not operationally control HMS-ORIX and, accordingly, does not consolidate the operations of HMS-ORIX within the consolidated financial statements. The Company and Orix have committed to provide, and have funded, an aggregate of $50.0 million of equity to HMS-ORIX, with the Company providing $30.0 million (60% of the equity) and Orix providing $20.0 million (40% of the equity).

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, HMS-ORIX had total assets of $146.3 million and $142.9 million, respectively, and HMS-ORIX’s portfolio consisted of 78 and 74 broadly-syndicated loans, respectively, all of which were secured by first-priority liens, generally in industries similar to those in which the Company may directly invest. As of both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no loans in HMS-ORIX’s portfolio that were on non-accrual status.


16


On April 5, 2017, HMS-ORIX closed on a $100.0 million credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. The facility has a maturity date of April 5, 2020 and borrowings under the facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.65% per annum. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $91.3 million and $86.5 million, respectively, was outstanding under this facility. Borrowings under the facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of HMS-ORIX.

The following table presents a summary of HMS-ORIX’s portfolio as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

Note 5 — Borrowings
 
A BDC has historically been able to issue “senior securities,” including borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions, only in amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such incurrence or issuance. In March 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”) was enacted into law. The SBCAA, among other things, amended the 1940 Act to reduce the asset coverage requirement applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% so long as the BDC meets certain disclosure requirements, obtains certain approvals and, in the case of unlisted BDCs, makes an offer to repurchase shares held by its stockholders as of the date of the requisite approval. Effectiveness of the reduced asset coverage requirements to a BDC requires approval by either (1) a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of such BDC’s board of directors with effectiveness one year after the date of such approval or (2) a majority of the votes cast at a special or annual meeting of such BDC’s stockholders at which a quorum is present, which is effective the day after such stockholder approval. The Company has not requested or obtained such approval.

On March 6, 2017, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “EverBank Credit Facility”) with EverBank Commercial Finance, Inc. (“EverBank”), as administrative agent, and with Everbank and other financial institutions as lender. The EverBank Credit Facility, as amended, features aggregate revolver commitments of $120.0 million. Borrowings under the EverBank Credit Facility bear interest, subject to the Company’s election, on a per annum basis equal to (i) the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate plus 2.75% or (ii) the base rate plus 1.75%. The base rate is defined as the higher of (a) the prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 0.5% or (c) the adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. The adjusted LIBOR rate is defined in the credit agreement for the EverBank Credit Facility as the one-month LIBOR rate plus such amount as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities. As of March 31, 2018, the one-month LIBOR rate was 1.88%. Additionally, the Company pays an annual unused commitment fee of 0.300% on the unused revolver commitments if more than 50% of the revolver commitments are being used and an annual unused commitment fee of 0.625% on the unused revolver commitments if less than 50% of the revolver commitments are being used. As of March 31, 2018, the Company was not aware of any instances of noncompliance with covenants related to the EverBank Credit Facility.

On May 18, 2015, HMS Funding entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Deutsche Bank Credit Facility”) among HMS Funding, the Company, as equityholder and as servicer, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”), as administrative agent, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (together with Deutsche Bank, the “HMS Funding Lenders”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent and collateral custodian. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, as amended, provides a borrowing capacity of $550.0 million. Under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, interest is calculated as the sum of the index plus the applicable margin of 2.35%. The index will be equal to one-month LIBOR, or, in the event that

26


LIBOR is not reasonably available, the higher of Deutsche Bank’s base commercial lending rate and the interest rate equal to 0.5% above the federal funds rate. As of March 31, 2018, the one-month LIBOR rate was 1.88%. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility provides for a revolving period until November 20, 2020, unless otherwise extended with the consent of the HMS Funding Lenders. The amortization period begins the day after the last day of the revolving period and ends on November 20, 2022, the maturity date. During the amortization period, the applicable margin will increase by 0.25%. During the revolving period, HMS Funding will pay a utilization fee equal to 2.50% of the undrawn amount of the required utilization, which is 75% of the loan commitment amount. HMS Funding will incur an undrawn fee equal to 0.40% per annum of the difference between the aggregate commitments and the outstanding advances under the facility, provided that the undrawn fee relating to any utilization shortfall will not be payable to the extent that the utilization fee relating to such utilization shortfall is incurred. Additionally, per the terms of a fee letter executed on November 20, 2017, HMS Funding pays Deutsche Bank an administrative agent fee of 0.25% of the aggregate revolver commitments.As of March 31, 2018, the Company was not aware of any instances of noncompliance with covenants related to the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had borrowings of $120.0 million outstanding on the EverBank Credit Facility and had borrowings of $338.0 million outstanding on the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, both of which the Company estimated approximated fair value.

A summary of the Company’s significant contractual payment obligations for the repayment of outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2018 is as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Advisers did not waive base management fees but waived subordinated incentive fees of approximately $15,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, and internal administrative services expenses of approximately $804,000 and $661,000, respectively. The ratio is calculated by reducing the expenses to reflect the waiver of expenses and reimbursement of internal administrative services in both periods presented. Excluding interest expense, the ratio of total expenses to average net assets for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 was 1.03% and 1.02%, respectively. See Note 10 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements for further discussion of fee waivers provided by the Advisers.

On March 22, 2018, with the authorization of the Company’s board of directors, the Company declared distributions to its stockholders for the period of April 2018 through June 2018. These distributions have been, or will be, calculated based on stockholders of record each day from April 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018 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 three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Includes adjustments made to GAAP basis net investment income to arrive at taxable income available for distributions. See Note 8 for the sources of the Company’s cash distributions on a tax basis.

The Company may fund its cash distributions from all sources of funds legally available, including stock offering proceeds, if any, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds

28


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 its 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, if any, borrowings, and fee and expense waivers from the Advisers. See Note 10 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement Waivers.

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 8 – 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 incur corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on net ordinary income or capital gains that the Company timely distributes each taxable year as dividends to its stockholders. 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. As a part of maintaining its RIC status, undistributed taxable income (subject to a 4% nondeductible, U.S. federal 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 eight-and-one-half months after the close of that taxable year or the filing of the U.S. federal income tax return for such prior taxable year. In order to avoid the imposition of the 4% nondeductible, U.S. federal excise tax, the Company needs to distribute, in respect of each calendar year, dividends of 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 generally ending on October 31 of 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 incurred no U.S. federal income tax. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2016, the Company distributed $7.1 million, or $0.096753 per share, of its taxable income in 2017, prior to the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for the 2016 taxable year. As a result, the Company was subject to a 4% nondeductible, U.S federal excise tax liability for the 2016 taxable year of approximately $239,000. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2017, the Company distributed $14.9 million, or $0.187394 per share, of its taxable income in 2018, prior to the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for the 2017 taxable year. As a result, the Company was subject to a 4% nondeductible, U.S. federal excise tax liability of approximately $392,000.

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. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the Company’s financial statements is the largest benefit or expense that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon its ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. Positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or 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. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions, and has concluded that there were no material uncertain income tax positions through March 31, 2018. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdiction as the United States, and the Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. Tax returns for the 2014 through 2017 taxable years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II, have elected to be taxable entities for U.S. tax purposes. HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II primarily hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are treated as “pass through” entities for U.S. tax purposes. HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and the portfolio investments held by each entity are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as portfolio investments recorded at fair value. HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II are not consolidated with the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of its ownership of certain portfolio investments. This income tax expense, or benefit, if any, and the related tax assets and liabilities, are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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.

The income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities generated by HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II, if any, are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized a net income tax (benefit) provision of $102,000 and $48,000, respectively, related to deferred taxes of $4.3 million and $261,000, respectively, and other taxes of $102,000 and $48,000, respectively, offset by a valuation allowance of $(4.3) million and $(261,000), respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the other taxes included $102,000 and $48,000, respectively, related to accruals for state and other taxes.

As of March 31, 2018, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $1.1 billion, with such investments having an estimated net unrealized depreciation of $4.4 million, composed of gross unrealized appreciation of $27.4 million and gross unrealized depreciation of $31.8 million. As of December 31, 2017, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $1.0 billion, with such investments having an estimated net unrealized depreciation of $14.9 million, composed of gross unrealized appreciation of $25.2 million and gross unrealized depreciation of $40.1 million.

The net deferred tax asset at both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $0, primarily related to loss carryforwards, timing differences in net unrealized depreciation of portfolio investments, and basis differences of portfolio investments held by HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II, which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes, offset by a valuation allowance. Based on HMS Equity Holding’s and HMS Equity Holding II’s short operating history, management believes it is more likely than not that there will be inadequate profits in HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II against which the deferred tax assets can be offset. Accordingly, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was signed into law. The TCJA significantly changed the U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to businesses and their owners. Technical corrections or other amendments to the TCJA or administrative guidance interpreting the TCJA may be forthcoming at any time. Under the TCJA, the corporate income tax rate is reduced to 21%, and the corporate alternative minimum tax was repealed. The reduced corporate income tax rate, which is effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, apples to income earned by HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II.

For federal income tax purposes, the net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to December 31, 2017 expire in various taxable years from 2034 through 2037. Under the TCJA, any net operating losses generated in 2018 and future periods will have an indefinite carryforward. The net capital loss carryforwards expire in taxable years 2020 and 2023. The timing and manner in which HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II will 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, 2017, 2016 and 2015, 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. If the Company had determined the tax attributes of its distributions taxable year-to-date as of March 31, 2018, 100% would be from its current and accumulated earnings and profits. However, there can be no certainty to stockholders that this determination is representative of what the actual tax attributes of the Company’s anticipated fiscal and taxable years ending December 31, 2018 distributions to stockholders will be. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and 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 are either temporary or permanent in nature. Reclassifications due to permanent book-to-tax differences, such as the non-deductible excise tax, have no impact on net assets.

Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements
 
Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee and Expense Reimbursement Waivers
 
The Company and the Adviser may enter into an agreement pursuant to which the Adviser could pay the Company up to 100% of its operating expenses an “Expense Support Payment”) in order to achieve a reasonable level of expenses relative to its investment income.

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 Company and the Advisers entered into conditional income incentive fee waiver agreements (the “2016-2018 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements”), most recently on May 4, 2018, pursuant to which, for a period from January 1, 2016 through March 31, 2018, 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 2016-2018 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 and to the extent eligible for repayment.

Previously waived fees and Expense Support Payments 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 or Expense Support Payment. 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 or Expense Support Payments were made 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 March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred base management fees of approximately $5.7 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and the Advisers waived no base management fees in either period. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred no capital gains incentive fees in either period, and incurred subordinated incentive fees on income of approximately $15,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, which were fully waived by the Advisers.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.

32



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.

Fees waived pursuant to the Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement and the 2016-2018 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements.
(2)
Subject to the approval of the Company’s board of directors, in future periods, previously waived fees may be paid to the Advisers, if the Company’s cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations exceeds the amount of cumulative distributions paid to stockholders. 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. To date, none of the previously waived fees and Expense Support Payments have been approved for reimbursement by the Company’s board of directors.
(3)
The “Operating Expense Ratio” is calculated on a quarterly basis as a percentage of average net assets and includes all expenses borne by the Company, except for base management and incentive fees and administrative expenses waived by the Advisers and organizational and offering expenses.
(4)
“Annualized Distribution Rate” equals $0.00191781 per share, per day as declared by the Company’s board of directors.
(5)
Prior to June 30, 2015, the Advisers waived total management fees of $2.8 million, total subordinated incentive fees of $932,000 and total capital gain incentive fees of $8,000. Due to the passage of time, such waived fees are not eligible for repayment under the applicable fee waiver agreements.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Company is required to pay or reimburse the Advisers for administrative services expenses, which include all costs and expenses related to the Company’s day-to-day administration and management not related to advisory services, whether such administrative services were performed by a third party service provider or affiliates of the Advisers (“Internal Administrative Services”). The Advisers do not earn any profit under their provision of administrative services to the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred, and the Advisers waived the reimbursement of, Internal Administrative Services expenses of approximately $804,000 and $661,000, respectively. The Company and the Advisers entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, as amended from time to time, which extends the period for waiver of reimbursement of Internal Administrative Services expenses accrued pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement through June 30, 2018. Since inception, the Advisers waived the reimbursement of total Internal Administrative Services expenses of $11.1 million. Waived Internal Administrative Services expenses are not subject to future reimbursement.

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 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 costs incurred in connection with an offering of the Company including the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Company expects to reimburse the Advisers for such costs incurred on the Company’s behalf on a monthly basis, up to a maximum aggregate amount of 1.5% of the gross stock offering proceeds. The Advisers are responsible for the payment of offering costs to the extent they exceed 1.5% of the aggregate gross stock offering proceeds.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company has reimbursed the Advisers approximately $11.9 million since inception for offering costs. As of March 31, 2018, the Advisers carried a balance of approximately $1.3 million for offering costs incurred on the Company’s behalf, net of reimbursement payments from the Company.

Note 13 – Subsequent Events
 
On May 4, 2018, the Company, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser entered into a conditional income incentive fee agreement (the “First Quarter 2018 Fee Waiver Agreement”), pursuant to which, for a period from January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2018, 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 First Quarter 2018 Fee Waiver Agreement may require the Company to repay the Advisers for previously waived 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.

On April 13, 2018, the Company filed a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the SEC to commence an offer by the Company to purchase, as approved by its board of directors, 1,973,729.33 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock,

35


par value $0.001 per share. The offer is for cash at a purchase price equal to the NAV per share to be determined within 48 hours of the repurchase date.

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 management 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 calls 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 primarily consisting of our investment in HMS-ORIX SLF LLC (“HMS-ORIX”) and investments managed by third parties, which differ from the typical profiles for our other types of investments.

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”) pursuant to a new registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-204659), as amended. With the approval of our board of directors, we closed the Offering to new investors effective September 30, 2017. Through March 31, 2018, we raised approximately $191.0 million in the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $59.3 million.

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. Our board of directors most recently reapproved the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on May 10, 2018. We have engaged Hines Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Adviser, to serve as the Dealer Manager for our offerings, if any.

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 exemptive relief from the SEC, that permits us, subject to certain conditions, to co-invest with Main Street and/or its affiliates 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 its affiliates in syndicated deals and secondary loan market purchases in accordance with applicable regulatory guidance or interpretations where price is the only negotiated point.

As of March 31, 2018, we had investments in 51 Middle Market debt investments, 40 Private Loan debt investments, 31 LMM debt investments, 32 LMM equity investments, five Middle Market equity investments, 13 Private Loan equity investments and seven Other Portfolio investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $1,067.6 million, a cost basis of approximately $1,071.9 million and a weighted average effective annual yield of approximately 8.9%. The weighted average annual yield was

38


calculated using the effective interest rates for all investments at March 31, 2018, including accretion of original issue discount and amortization of premium to par value, the amortization of fees received in connection with transactions, and assumes zero yield for investments on non-accrual status. Approximately 82.6% and 9.2% 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 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 investment income over the long-term, 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 our investments. 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, net realized appreciation (depreciation) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

Expenses
 
On both a short-term and long-term basis, our primary use of funds will be investments in portfolio companies and cash distributions to our stockholders. Our primary operating expenses will be 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) will compensate our Advisers for their work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments.
 
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, including any hedging costs;
  ●
 
investment advisory fees;
  ●
 
transfer agent and custodial fees;
  ●

  ●

  ●
 
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;

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 Fee, Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements and Administrative Services Expense Reimbursement Waiver Agreements

From time to time, our Advisers may waive certain fees and expense reimbursements accrued under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, as applicable. We may reimburse such waived fees within three years from the date of each respective fee reimbursement waiver. See Note 10 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee and Expense Reimbursement Waivers to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information on our fee and expense reimbursement waivers.

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, 2017 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during 2018, except to the extent described below.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Our condensed 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: HMS Funding, HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Under the 1940 Act rules, regulations pursuant to Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X and Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies of the Accounting Standards Codification, as amended (the “ASC”), of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), 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 our investments qualify for this exception. Therefore, our portfolio company investments, including those in which we have a controlling interest, are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value with changes to fair value recognized as “Net Change in 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

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, 16.3% 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 a first priority lien (64.4% of the total fair value of the LMM portfolio) on the assets of the portfolio companies and equity investments (35.6% of the total fair value of the LMM portfolio) in privately held LMM companies as of March 31, 2018. The LMM debt investments generally mature between five and seven years

40


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 (91.2% and 3.4% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio, respectively) on the assets of the portfolio companies, unsecured debt investments (2.9% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio) and equity investments (2.5% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio) in Private Loan companies as of March 31, 2018. 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 primarily consist of our investment in HMS-ORIX (discussed in more detail below) and investments managed by third parties, which differ from the typical profiles for LMM, Middle Market and Private Loan portfolio investments. 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 three months ended March 31, 2018, we funded investment purchases of approximately $181.8 million and had six investments under contract to purchase as of March 31, 2018 for approximately $19.4 million, which settled or we scheduled to settle after March 31, 2018. We also received proceeds from sales and repayments of existing portfolio investments of approximately $133.0 million, including $91.6 million in sales. Additionally, we had four investments under contract to sell as of March 31, 2018, for approximately $28.6 million, which represented the contract sales price. The combined result of these transactions increased our portfolio, on a cost basis, by approximately $7.6 million, or 0.7%, and the number of portfolio investments by three or 1.7%, compared to the portfolio as of December 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2018, the largest investment in an individual portfolio company represented approximately 2.9% of our portfolio’s fair value with the remaining investments in an individual portfolio company ranging from 0.0% to 2.1%. The average investment in our portfolio is approximately $6.0 million or 0.6% of the total portfolio. Our portfolio is 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 82.6% first lien debt securities and 9.2% 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we made investment purchases of approximately $110.9 million and had one investment under contract to purchase as of March 31, 2017 for approximately $7.4 million, which settled after March 31, 2017. We also received proceeds from sales and repayments of existing portfolio investments of approximately $137.8 million including $9.7 million in sales and had two investments under contract to sell as of March 31, 2017 for approximately $8.2 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 2.7 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Lastly, the overall weighted average effective yield on our investment portfolio remained at 8.9% as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018.

Investment in HMS-ORIX

We co-invest in broadly-syndicated loans with ORIX Funds Corp. (“Orix”) through our investment in HMS-ORIX, which is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement and through representation on the HMS-ORIX Board of Managers, we and Orix each have 50% voting control of HMS-ORIX and together will agree on all portfolio and investment decisions as well as all other significant actions for HMS-ORIX. We do not operationally control HMS-ORIX, and, accordingly, we do not consolidate the operations of HMS-ORIX within the consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2018, we and Orix have committed to provide, and have funded, an aggregate of $50.0 million of equity to HMS-ORIX, with us providing $30.0 million (60% of the equity) and Orix providing $20.0 million (40% of the equity).

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, HMS-ORIX had total assets of $146.3 million and $142.9 million, respectively, and HMS-ORIX’s portfolio consisted of 78 and 74 broadly-syndicated loans, respectively, all of which were secured by first-priority liens, generally in industries similar to those in which we may directly invest.

On April 5, 2017, HMS-ORIX closed on a $100.0 million credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. The facility has a maturity date of April 5, 2020 and borrowings under the facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.65% per annum. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $91.3 million and $86.5 million, respectively, was outstanding under this facility. Borrowings under the facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of HMS-ORIX. If we were to include our pro-rata share of the borrowings under the HMS-ORIX credit facility as leverage on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2018, our asset coverage ratio as of such date would have been 215%, assuming unfunded commitments are treated as senior securities.

PORTFOLIO ASSET QUALITY
  
As of March 31, 2018, we owned a broad portfolio of 179 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:

▪
51 debt investments in 47 Middle Market portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $498.6 million and a cost basis of approximately $512.1 million. The Middle Market debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 8.9%, which is calculated assuming the investments on non-accrual status are non-yielding, and 83.3% of the Middle Market debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 92.5% of the Middle Market 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.

▪
40 debt investments in 39 Private Loan portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $345.4 million and a cost basis of approximately $346.6 million. The Private Loan debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 9.6%, which is calculated assuming the investments on non-accrual status are non-yielding, and 93.6% of the Private Loan debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 95.7% 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.

▪
31 debt investments in 27 LMM portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $102.6 million and a cost basis of approximately $103.4 million. The LMM debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 12.6% and 100.0% of the debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Also, 40.8% of the LMM debt investments are fixed rate investments with fixed interest rates between 8.0% and 16.0%. Also, 26 LMM debt investments, representing approximately 59.2% of the LMM debt investments have variable rates subject to a contractual minimum base interest rate of 100 basis points.

▪
50 equity investments and seven equity warrant investments in 27 LMM portfolio companies, nine Private Loan portfolio companies, four Middle Market portfolio companies and five Other Portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $121.0 million and a cost basis of approximately $109.9 million.

Overall, as of March 31, 2018, our investment portfolio had a weighted average effective yield on our investments of approximately 8.9%, and 78.8% of our total portfolio’s investment composition (including our Other Portfolio investments) was secured by first priority liens.

As of March 31, 2018, we had five investments in four portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 0.9% of our total investment portfolio at fair value and 2.2% of the total investment portfolio at cost. As of December 31, 2017, we had four investments in three portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 0.2% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and 0.9% of the total investment portfolio at cost. For those investments in which S&P credit ratings are available, which represents approximately 33.1% of the portfolio as of March 31, 2018, 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.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS COMPARISONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018 AND MARCH 31, 2017

Total Investment Income, Operating Expenses, Net Assets
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, our total investment income was approximately $26.6 million and $25.4 million, respectively, consisting predominately of interest income. As of March 31, 2018, the portfolio had a weighted average annual effective yield on investments of approximately 8.9%, which was unchanged compared to March 31, 2017, and our average investment portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $1,058.5 million compared to $974.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we accreted approximately $4.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of unearned income into interest income. The increase in interest income was primarily due to (i) the growth in our total portfolio resulting from the investment of additional equity capital raised and borrowings under our amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility (the “EverBank Credit Facility”) entered into by us, HMS Equity Holding, LLC and HMS Equity Holding II, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries, with EverBank Commercial Finance, Inc. as administrative agent and certain financial institutions as lenders, 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 EverBank Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”) and (ii) acceleration of the accretion of original issuance discounts primarily resulting from principal repayments on and sales of certain portfolio investments. 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 5 - Borrowings to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized $334,000 and $785,000, respectively, of non-recurring fee income received from our portfolio companies or other third parties, which accounted for approximately 1.3% and 3.1%, respectively, of our total investment income during such period.  Such fee income is transaction based and typically consists of prepayment fees, structuring fees, amendment and consent fees and other non-recurring fees. As such, future fee income is generally dependent on new direct origination investments and the occurrence of prepayments and other events at existing portfolio companies resulting in such fees.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, expenses, net of incentive fee and administrative services expense waivers, were approximately $11.8 million and $10.2 million, respectively. The increase in expenses is primarily due to (i) an increase in interest expense of $1.1 million and (ii) an increase in base management fees and incentive fees (net of fee waivers) of $544,000. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in our average borrowings of approximately $44.5 million during the period, an increase in our cost of borrowing on the Credit Facilities and an increase in the annualized interest rate on our borrowings. Average borrowings were $444.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $399.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the annualized interest rate on our borrowings was 4.4% and 3.7%, respectively. Base management fees and incentive fees (net of fee waivers) increased primarily due to an increase in our average gross assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations (gross of stockholder distributions declared) was approximately $15.6 million. The increase was attributable to (i) net investment income of

53


approximately $14.9 million and (ii) net change in unrealized appreciation on investments of approximately $10.6 million, offset by realized losses on investments of approximately $9.9 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, 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 (i) net investment income of approximately $15.1 million and (ii) net realized gains of approximately $2.6 million, offset by net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $4.5 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

As of March 31, 2018, we had approximately $24.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, which we held in various custodial accounts. In addition, as of March 31, 2018, we had $112.0 million in capacity available under the Credit Facilities. To seek to enhance our returns, we intend to continue to employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of our Adviser, but in no event will leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of our assets, the maximum we are allowed to borrow under the 1940 Act. See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Financing Arrangements.”

As of March 31, 2018, we had 33 senior secured loan investments and four equity investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $50.5 million. We believe that we maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

We currently generate cash primarily from interest and fees earned on our investments, principal repayments and proceeds from the sales of our investments and the net proceeds of the issuance of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan.

Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the net proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan and from sales and pay-downs of existing investments primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, consistent with our BDC election and our election to be taxed as a RIC. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Flows

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $21.3 million. During that period, approximately $32.9 million of cash was used in our operating activities, which principally consisted of the purchase of new portfolio investments of $181.8 million, offset by principal repayments from and sales of investments in portfolio companies of $133.0 million and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $15.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, approximately $11.6 million was generated from financing activities, which principally consisted of a net $28.0 million increase in borrowings under the Credit Facilities, offset by $6.9 million in cash distributions paid to stockholders and $9.4 million in cash used for the redemption of our common stock.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $17.7 million. During that period, approximately $39.2 million of cash was generated from our operating activities, which principally consisted of 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 $137.8 million, offset by the purchase of new portfolio investments of $110.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, approximately $21.5 million was used in financing activities, which principally consisted of a net $27.0 million decrease in borrowings under the Credit Facilities, $6.2 million in cash distributions paid to stockholders and $5.1 million in cash distributions used for the redemption of our common stock, offset by $17.3 million in net stock offering proceeds received.

Continuous Public Offering
 
With the approval of our board of directors, we closed the Offering to new investors effective September 30, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we raised proceeds of $6.9 million from the distribution reinvestment plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we raised proceeds of $25.8 million from the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan, and incurred $1.6 million for selling commissions and Dealer Manager fees. We also incurred an obligation for $387,000 of costs related to the Offering.

Therefore, a determination made on an interim basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of distributions for a full year. If we had determined the tax attributes of our distributions taxable year-to-date as of March 31, 2018, 100% would be from our current and accumulated earnings and profits. However, there can be no certainty to stockholders that this determination is representative of what the actual tax attributes of our anticipated fiscal and taxable years ending December 31, 2018 distributions to stockholders will be. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and 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, if any, 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 entities subject to tax as RICs, we are required to distribute substantially all of our taxable income to our stockholders on an annual basis. However, we may elect to spill over certain excess undistributed taxable income from one taxable year into the next taxable year, which may require us to incur a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on such excess undistributed taxable income. In order to avoid the imposition of the 4% nondeductible 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, generally for the one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year (or, if we so elect, for the calendar year) and (3) any net ordinary

income and capital gain net income for the preceding calendar years that was not distributed during such calendar years and on which we incurred 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, if any, and borrowings on the Credit Facilities. However, with the approval of our board of directors, we closed the Offering to new investors effective September 30, 2017. 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 March 31, 2018, we had $120.0 million outstanding and $0.0 million available under our EverBank Credit Facility, and $338.0 million outstanding and $112.0 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 5 - Borrowings to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 as well as Note 5 - Borrowings to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.
 
As a BDC, we have historically been able to issue “senior securities,” including borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions, only in amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such incurrence or issuance. In March 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”) was enacted into law. The SBCAA, among other things, amended the 1940 Act to reduce the asset coverage requirement applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% so long as the BDC meets certain disclosure requirements, obtains certain approval and, in the case of unlisted BDCs, makes an offer to repurchase shares held by its stockholders as of the date of the requisite approval. Effectiveness of the reduced asset coverage requirements to a BDC requires approval by either (1) a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of such BDC’s board of directors with effectiveness one year after the date of such approval or (2) a majority of the votes cast at a special or annual meeting of such BDC’s stockholders at which a quorum is present, which is effective the day after such stockholder approval. The Company has not requested or obtained either such approval. As of March 31, 2018, our asset coverage ratio under BDC regulations was 227% when assuming unfunded commitments are treated as senior securities. As of December 31, 2017, our asset coverage ratio under BDC regulations was 236% when assuming unfunded commitments are treated as senior securities. As of March 31, 2018, considering these limitations, we had the ability to draw upon the entire $112.0 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 Adviser, our Sub-Adviser and our Dealer Manager, whereby we pay certain fees and reimbursements to these entities. These included payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions and the Dealer Manager fee and include 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 Adviser and Sub-Adviser, pursuant to various agreements that we have entered into. See Note 10 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information regarding related party transactions.

 Contractual Obligations
 
As of March 31, 2018, we had $458.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facilities. Our EverBank Credit Facility will mature March 6, 2020, with two one-year extension options, subject to lender approval, and the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility will mature on November 20, 2022. See Note 5 - Borrowings to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for a description of the Credit Facilities.

At March 31, 2018, $112.0 million remained available under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility; however, our borrowing ability is limited to the asset coverage ratio restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act, as discussed above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
At March 31, 2018, we had a total of approximately $50.5 million in outstanding commitments comprised of (i) 33 commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans that had not been funded and (ii) four capital commitments that had not been fully called. We recognized unrealized depreciation of approximately $18,000 on our outstanding unfunded loan commitments and no unrealized appreciation or depreciation on our outstanding unfunded capital commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We reasonably believe that we have sufficient assets to adequately cover and allow us to satisfy our outstanding unfunded commitments. At December 31, 2017, we had a total of approximately $45.4 million in outstanding commitments comprised of (i) 28 commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans that had not been funded and (ii) four capital commitments that had not been fully called. We recognized unrealized appreciation of approximately $14,000 on our outstanding unfunded loan commitments and no unrealized appreciation or depreciation on our outstanding unfunded capital commitments during the year ended December 31, 2017. We had equity commitments of up to $30.0 million to HMS-ORIX, which were fully funded as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Recent Developments and Subsequent Events
 
On May 4, 2018, we, our Adviser and our Sub-Adviser entered into a conditional income incentive fee agreement (the “First Quarter 2018 Fee Waiver Agreement”), pursuant to which, for a period from January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2018, 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 First Quarter 2018 Fee Waiver Agreement may require us to repay our Advisers for previously waived payments of up to 100% of our operating expenses 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.

On April 13, 2018, we filed a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the SEC to commence an offer by us to purchase, as approved by our board of directors, 1,973,729.33 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The offer is for cash at a purchase price equal to the NAV per share to be determined within 48 hours of the repurchase date.

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 March 31, 2018, approximately 88.6% of our LMM, Private Loan, and Middle Market portfolio debt investments (based on cost) contained floating interest rates. At March 31, 2018, the one-month LIBOR was approximately 1.88% and the three-month LIBOR was approximately 2.31%. 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, which minimizes the negative impact to our interest income that would result from a decline in index rates.

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 March 31, 2018.

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 March 31, 2018, 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 March 31, 2018, 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 three months ended March 31, 2018 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, 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.
 
In addition to the below risk factor and other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Recently passed legislation may allow us to incur additional leverage.

A BDC has historically been able to issue “senior securities,” including borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions, only in amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such incurrence or issuance. In March 2018, the SBCAA was enacted into law. The SBCAA, among other things, amended the 1940 Act to reduce the asset coverage requirements applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% so long as the BDC meets certain disclosure requirements and obtains certain approvals. Effectiveness of the reduced asset coverage requirements to a BDC requires approval by either (1) a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of such BDC’s board of directors with effectiveness one year after the date of such approval or (2) a majority of the votes cast at a special or annual meeting of such BDC’s stockholders at which a quorum is present, which is effective the day after such stockholder approval. In addition, as a BDC that does not have its common stock listed on a national securities exchange, we would be required to offer each stockholder of record as of the approval date of the reduced asset coverage requirement the opportunity for us to repurchase such stockholder’s shares held on such date. As a result, if we receive the relevant approval and we comply with the applicable disclosure requirements, we would be able to incur additional indebtedness, which may increase the risk of investing in us. In addition, since our base management fee is payable based upon our gross assets, which includes any borrowings for investment purposes, the base management fee expenses will increase if we incur additional leverage.
