* Denotes that all or a portion of the loan secures the notes offered in the Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 7).
(1) The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR" or "L") or Prime ("P") and which reset daily, quarterly or semiannually. For each, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR or Prime and the weighted average current interest rate in effect at March 31, 2014. Certain investments are subject to a LIBOR or Prime interest rate floor. For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable.
(2) For portfolio companies with multiple interest rate contracts, the interest rate shown is a weighted average current interest rate in effect at March 31, 2014.
(3) The negative fair value is the result of the capitalized discount on the loan or the unfunded commitment being valued below par. The negative cost is the result of the capitalized discount being greater than the principal amount outstanding on the loan.
(4) The entire commitment was unfunded at March 31, 2014. As such, no interest is being earned on this investment.
(5) The sale of a portion of this loan does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860 - Transfers and Servicing, and therefore, the entire One Stop loan asset remains in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. (See Note 7 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.)
(6) Loan was on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2014, meaning that the Company has ceased recognizing interest income on the loan.
(7) As defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Company is deemed to be both an "Affiliated Person" of and "Control" this portfolio company as the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company's outstanding voting securities or has the power to exercise control over management or policies of such portfolio company (including through a management agreement). See Note 5 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for transactions during the six months ended March 31, 2014 in which the issuer was both an Affiliated Person and a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to Control.
(8) The investment is treated as a non-qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets.
(9) Non-income producing securities.
(10) As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be an "Affiliated Person" of the portfolio company as the Company along with affiliated entities owns five percent or more of the portfolio company's voting securities. See Note 5 in the accompanying notes to the financial statements for transactions during the six months ended March 31, 2014 in which the issuer was an Affiliated Person (but not a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to control).

* Denotes that all or a portion of the loan secures the notes offered in the Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 7).
(1) The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to LIBOR or Prime and which reset daily, quarterly or semiannually. For each, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR or Prime and the weighted average current interest rate in effect at September 30, 2013. Certain investments are subject to a LIBOR or Prime interest rate floor. For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable.
(2) For portfolio companies with multiple interest rate contracts, the interest rate shown is a weighted average current interest rate in effect at September 30, 2013.
(3) Loan was on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2013, meaning that the Company has ceased recognizing interest income on the loan.
(4) The negative fair value is the result of the capitalized discount on the loan or the unfunded commitment being valued below par. The negative cost is the result of the capitalized discount being greater than the principal amount outstanding on the loan.
(5) The entire commitment was unfunded at September 30, 2013. As such, no interest is being earned on this investment.
(6) As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be an "Affiliated Person" of the portfolio company as it owns five percent or more of the portfolio company's voting securities. See Note 5 in the accompanying notes to the financial statements for transactions during the year ended September 30, 2013 in which the issuer was an Affiliated Person (but not a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to Control.)
(7) As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be both an "Affiliated Person" of and "Control" this portfolio company as the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company's outstanding voting securities or has the power to exercise control over management or policies of such portfolio company (including through a management agreement). See Note 5 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for transactions during the year ended September 30, 2013 in which the issuer was both an Affiliated Person and a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to Control.
(8) Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets.
(9) The sale of a portion of this loan does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860 - Transfers and Servicing, and therefore, the entire One Stop loan asset remains in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. (See Note 7 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.)

Note 1.Organization

 

Golub Capital BDC, Inc. (“GBDC” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. GBDC has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the 1940 Act. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, GBDC has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

The Company’s investment strategy is to invest in senior secured, one stop (a loan that combines characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured loans and second lien or subordinated loans), second lien and subordinated (a loan that ranks senior only to a borrower’s equity securities and ranks junior to all of such borrower’s other indebtedness in priority of payment) loans, warrants and equity securities to middle market companies that are, in most cases, sponsored by private equity investors. The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with GC Advisors LLC (the “Investment Adviser”), under which the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. Under an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) the Company is provided with certain services by an administrator (the “Administrator”), which is currently Golub Capital LLC.

 

Note 2.Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Updates

 

Basis of presentation: The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications consisting solely of normal accruals that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Fair value of financial instruments: The Company applies fair value to all of its financial instruments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company has categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market and the current market conditions. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for financial instruments classified as Level 3.

Golub Capital BDC, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

 

Any changes to the valuation methodology are reviewed by management and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to confirm that the changes are appropriate. As markets change, new products develop and the pricing for products becomes more or less transparent, the Company will continue to refine its valuation methodologies. See further description of fair value methodology in Note 6.

 

Use of estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Consolidation: As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946 – Financial Services – Investment Companies, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not consolidate its noncontrolling interest in Senior Loan Fund LLC (“SLF”). See further description of the Company’s investment in SLF in Note 4.

 

Assets related to transactions that do not meet ASC Topic 860 — Transfers and Servicing (“ASC Topic 860”) requirements for accounting sale treatment are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition as investments. Those assets are owned by special purpose entities, including Golub Capital BDC 2010-1 LLC (the "Issuer"), Golub Capital BDC Funding LLC ("Funding") and Golub Capital BDC Revolver Funding, LLC (“Revolver Funding”), that are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The creditors of the special purpose entities have received security interests in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of GBDC (or any affiliate of GBDC).

 

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions and, at times, such balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

 

Restricted cash and cash equivalents: Restricted cash and cash equivalents include amounts that are collected and are held by trustees who have been appointed as custodians of the assets securing certain of the Company’s financing transactions. Restricted cash is held by the trustees for payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings or reinvestment into new assets. In addition, restricted cash and cash equivalents include amounts held within the Company’s small business investment companies (“SBICs”). This amount is generally restricted to the originations of new loans from the SBICs and the payment of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) debentures and related interest expense.

 

Revenue recognition:

 

Investments and related investment income: Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual interest terms of debt investments. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company earned interest of $24,977 and $49,456, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company earned interest of $18,778 and $36,941, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had interest receivable of $4,958 and $4,316, respectively.

 

Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and the Company accretes or amortizes such amounts over the life of the loan as interest income. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, interest income included $1,740 and $3,647, respectively, of accretion of discounts. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, interest income included $2,025 and $4,465, respectively, of accretion of discounts. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received loan origination fees of $2,508 and $5,490, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company received loan origination fees of $734 and $4,468 respectively. These loan origination fees are capitalized and amortized over the life of the loan as interest income.

For investments with contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at maturity, the Company will not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not collectible. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded PIK income of $336 and $749, respectively, and received PIK payments in cash of $157 and $1,906, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded PIK income of $516 and $1,090, respectively, and received PIK payments in cash of $516 and $847, respectively.

 

In addition, the Company may generate revenue in the form of amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees and prepayment premiums on loans. The Company records these fees as fee income when received. All other income is recorded into income when earned. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, fee income included $0 and $1,000 of prepayment premiums, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, fee income included $780 and $1,513 of prepayment premiums, respectively.

 

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received interest and fees in cash, which excludes capitalized loan origination fees, in the amounts of $22,019 and $46,969, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company received interest and fees in cash, which excludes capitalized loan origination fees, in the amounts of $16,559 and $32,864, respectively.

 

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Each distribution received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments is evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded dividend income of $262 and $278, respectively, and return of capital distributions of $948 and $2,298, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded dividend income of $479 and $746, respectively, and return of capital distributions of $444 and $668, respectively

 

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. The Company reports current period changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Non-accrual loans: A loan may be left on accrual status during the period the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan. Management reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal and interest, or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected, for possible placement on non-accrual status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. The total fair value of non-accrual loans was $5 and $665 as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

Partial loan sales: The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 860 when accounting for loan participations and other partial loan sales. Such guidance requires a participation or other partial loan sale to meet the definition of a “participating interest”, as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales which do not meet the definition of a participating interest remain on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition and the proceeds are recorded as a secured borrowing until the definition is met. Secured borrowings are carried at fair value to correspond with the related investments, which are carried at fair value. See Note 7 for additional information.

 

Income taxes: The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company has made, and intends to continue to make, the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal income taxes with respect to all income distributed to its stockholders.

 

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions, and would distribute such taxable income in the next tax year. The Company would then pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that it’s estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, no amount was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 — Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no material uncertain income tax positions through December 31, 2013. The 2010 through 2013 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

 

Dividends and distributions: Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

 

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Board authorizes and the Company declares a cash distribution, then stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividend. The Company may use newly issued shares under the guidelines of the DRIP (if the Company’s shares are trading at a premium to net asset value), or the Company may purchase shares in the open market in connection with the obligations under the plan. In particular, if the Company’s shares are trading at a significant discount to net asset value and the Company is otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, the Company intends to purchase shares in the open market in connection with any obligations under the DRIP.

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

 

In the event the market price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of a distribution exceeds the most recently computed net asset value per share of the common stock, the Company will issue shares of common stock to participants in the DRIP at the greater of the most recently computed net asset value per share of common stock or 95% of the current market price per share of common stock (or such lesser discount to the current market price per share that still exceeds the most recently computed net asset value per share of common stock).

 

Deferred financing costs: Deferred financing costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had deferred financing costs of $8,712 and $7,742, respectively. These amounts are amortized and included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the estimated average life of the borrowings. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 was $460 and $899, respectively. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 was $717 and $1,084, respectively.

 

Deferred offering costs: Deferred offering costs consist of fees paid in relation to legal, accounting, regulatory and printing work completed in preparation of equity offerings. Deferred offering costs are charged against the proceeds from equity offerings when received. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, deferred offering costs, which are included in other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition, were $220 and $0, respectively.

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements: In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, Financial Services – Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2013-08”), containing new guidance on assessing whether an entity is an investment company, requiring non-controlling ownership interests in investment companies to be measured at fair value and requiring certain additional disclosures. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company adopted ASU 2013-08 and the required disclosures, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Note 3.Related Party Transactions

 

Investment Advisory Agreement: On April 14, 2010, GBDC entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Investment Adviser, under which the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, GBDC. The Board most recently reapproved the Investment Advisory Agreement in May 2014. The Investment Adviser is a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Investment Adviser receives fees for providing services, consisting of two components, a base management fee and an Incentive Fee (as defined below).

 

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate equal to 1.375% of average adjusted gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters (including assets purchased with borrowed funds and securitization-related assets, leverage, unrealized depreciation or appreciation on derivative instruments and cash collateral on deposit with custodian but adjusted to exclude cash and cash equivalents so that investors do not pay the base management fee on such assets) and is payable quarterly in arrears. Additionally, the Investment Adviser is voluntarily excluding assets funded with secured borrowing proceeds from the management fee. The base management fee is adjusted, based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter, for any share issuances or repurchases during such calendar quarter. For purposes of the Investment Advisory Agreement, cash equivalents means U.S. government securities and commercial paper instruments maturing within 270 days of purchase (which is different than the GAAP definition, which defines cash equivalents as U.S. government securities and commercial paper instruments maturing within 90 days of purchase). To the extent that the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates provides investment advisory, collateral management or other similar services to a subsidiary of the Company, the base management fee will be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the total fees paid to the Investment Adviser by such subsidiary for such services and (2) the percentage of such subsidiary’s total equity, including membership interests and any class of notes not exclusively held by one or more third parties, that is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company.

The Company has structured the calculation of the Incentive Fee to include a fee limitation such that an Incentive Fee for any quarter can only be paid to the Investment Adviser if, after such payment, the cumulative Incentive Fees paid to the Investment Adviser since April 13, 2010, the effective date of the Company’s election to become a BDC, would be less than or equal to 20.0% of the Company’s Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income (as defined below).

 

The Company accomplishes this limitation by subjecting each quarterly Incentive Fee payable under the Income and Capital Gain Incentive Fee Calculation (as defined below) to a cap (the “Incentive Fee Cap”). The Incentive Fee Cap in any quarter is equal to the difference between (a) 20.0% of Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income and (b) cumulative Incentive Fees of any kind paid to the Investment Adviser by GBDC since April 13, 2010. To the extent the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value in any quarter, no Incentive Fee would be payable in that quarter. “Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income” is equal to the sum of (a) Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined below) for each period since April 13, 2010 and (b) cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, cumulative aggregate unrealized capital depreciation and cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation since April 13, 2010.

 

“Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the calendar quarter (including the base management fee, taxes, any expenses payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement with the Administrator, any expenses of securitizations and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash.

 

Incentive Fees are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears (or, upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date).

 

The income and capital gains incentive fee calculation (the “Income and Capital Gain Incentive Fee Calculation”) has two parts, the income component (the “Income Incentive Fee”) and the capital gains component (the “Capital Gain Incentive Fee” and, together with the Income Incentive Fee, the “Incentive Fee”). The Income Incentive Fee is calculated quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

 

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Income Incentive Fee incurred was $1,656 and $4,688, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, the Income Incentive Fee incurred was $2,468 and $4,862, respectively.

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Because of the structure of the Income Incentive Fee, it is possible that an Incentive Fee may be calculated under this formula with respect to a period in which the Company has incurred a loss. For example, if the Company receives Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a calendar quarter, the Income Incentive Fee will result in a positive value and an Incentive Fee will be paid unless the payment of such Incentive Fee would cause the Company to pay Incentive Fees on a cumulative basis that exceed 20.0% of Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any Incentive Fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed “hurdle rate” of 2.0% quarterly. If market interest rates rise, the Company may be able to invest funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which would increase Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income and make it easier for the Investment Adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an Incentive Fee based on such net investment income.

 

The Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its total assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds and securitization-related assets, unrealized depreciation or appreciation on derivative instruments and cash collateral on deposit with custodian) used to calculate the 1.375% base management fee annual rate.

 

The Company calculates the Income Incentive Fee with respect to its Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income quarterly, in arrears, as follows:

 

·Zero in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate;
·100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% in any calendar quarter. This portion of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5%) is referred to as the “catch-up” provision. The catch-up is meant to provide the Investment Adviser with 20.0% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter; and
·20.0% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter.

 

The sum of these calculations yields the “Income Incentive Fee”. This amount is appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter.

 

The Capital Gain Incentive Fee equals (a) 20.0% of the Company’s Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base (as defined below), if any, calculated in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or, upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), which commenced with the calendar year ending December 31, 2010, less (b) the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gain Incentive Fees. The Company’s “Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base” equals the sum of (1) realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative positive basis from the date the Company elected to become a BDC through the end of each calendar year, (2) all realized capital losses on a cumulative basis and (3) all unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis.

 

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

·The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company’s portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.
·The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in the Company’s portfolio as of the applicable Capital Gain Incentive Fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

 

The Company accrues the Capital Gain Incentive Fee if, on a cumulative basis, the sum of net realized gains/(losses) plus net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is positive. The Capital Gain Incentive Fee is calculated on a cumulative basis from April 13, 2010 through the end of each calendar year. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Capital Gain Incentive Fee was zero.

 

The sum of the Income Incentive Fee and the Capital Gain Incentive Fee is the “Incentive Fee.”

 

As described above, the Incentive Fee will not be paid at any time if, after such payment, the cumulative Incentive Fees paid to date would be greater than 20.0% of the Company’s Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income since the effective date of the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC. Such amount, less any Incentive Fees previously paid, is referred to as the “Incentive Fee Cap.” If, for any relevant period, the Incentive Fee Cap calculation results in the Company paying less than the amount of the Incentive Fee calculated above, then the difference between the Incentive Fee and the Incentive Fee Cap will not be paid by GBDC and will not be received by the Investment Adviser as an Incentive Fee either at the end of such relevant period or at the end of any future period.

 

Administration Agreement: Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes GBDC with office facilities and equipment, provides GBDC with clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities and provides GBDC with other administrative services as the Administrator, subject to review by the Board, determines necessary to conduct the Company’s day-to-day operations. GBDC reimburses the Administrator the allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of the Board) of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and GBDC’s allocable portion of the cost of its chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. The Board reviews such expenses to determine that these expenses are reasonable and comparable to administrative services charged by unaffiliated third party asset managers. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides, on the Company’s behalf, significant managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the Company is required to provide such assistance and will be paid an additional amount based on the cost of the services provided, not to exceed the amount the Company receives from such portfolio companies.

 

Included in accounts payable and accrued expenses is $742 and $752 as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, for accrued allocated shared services under the Administration Agreement. The administrative service fee expense under the Administration Agreement for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 was $742 and $1,324, respectively. The administrative service fee expense under the Administration Agreement for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 was $610 and $1,158, respectively.

Other related party transactions: The Administrator pays for certain unaffiliated third-party expenses incurred by the Company. Such expenses include postage, printing, office supplies and rating agency fees. These expenses are not marked-up and represent the same amount the Company would have paid had the Company paid the expenses directly. These expenses are subsequently reimbursed in cash.

 

Total expenses reimbursed to the Administrator during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 were $478 and $801, respectively. Total expenses reimbursed to the Administrator during the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 were $279 and $279, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $152 and $323, respectively, for accrued expenses paid on behalf of the Company by the Administrator.

Senior Loan Fund:

 

Effective May 31, 2013, the Company entered an agreement to co-invest with United Insurance Company of America (“United Insurance”) through SLF, an unconsolidated Delaware LLC whose purpose is to primarily invest in senior secured loans of middle market companies. SLF is capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio and investment decisions in respect to SLF must be approved by the SLF investment committee consisting of representatives of the Company and United Insurance (with approval from a representative of each required). SLF is capitalized with subordinated notes and LLC equity interest subscriptions from the Company and United Insurance. As of March 31, 2014, the Company and United Insurance owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of both the outstanding subordinated notes and LLC equity interests. Additionally, SLF has entered into a $50,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“SLF Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., through its wholly owned subsidiary Senior Loan Fund II LLC (“SLF II”). As of March 31, 2014, SLF had subordinated note commitments from the Company and United Insurance totaling $100,000, of which approximately $41,358 and $4,732 in aggregate principal amount was funded at March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, SLF had LLC equity interest subscriptions from the Company and United Insurance totaling $25,000, of which approximately $5,908 and $676 in aggregate was called and contributed as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, SLF had total assets at fair value of $76,581 and $13,821, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, SLF’s portfolio was comprised of first lien senior secured loans to 23 and four different borrowers, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, none of these loans was on non-accrual status. The portfolio companies in SLF are U.S. middle market companies in industries similar to those in which the Company may invest directly. Additionally, as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, SLF had commitments to fund various undrawn revolvers and delayed draw investments to its portfolio companies totaling $6,539 and $2,688, respectively.

*Together with United Insurance, the Company co-invests through SLF. SLF is capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio and investment decisions in respect to SLF must be approved by the SLF investment committee consisting of representatives of the Company and United Insurance (with approval from a representative of each required). Therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of SLF (even though these "voting securities" do not afford the Company the right to elect directors of SLF or any other special rights), the Company does not believe that it has control over SLF for purposes of the 1940 Act or otherwise.

 

Note 6.Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 820 for measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the assets or liabilities or market and the assets’ or liabilities’ complexity. The Company’s fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Assets and liabilities are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs include prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Inputs include significant unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information available and may require significant management judgment or estimation.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company assesses the levels of investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers. There were no transfers among level 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for investments during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The following section describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure different assets and liabilities at fair value and includes the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the assets and liabilities are categorized.

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

 

Level 1 assets and liabilities are valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 assets and liabilities are valued using market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, based on input of management, the audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the Board to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing twelve-month period under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with approximately 25% (based on fair value) of the Company’s valuations of debt and equity securities without readily available market quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm. All assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, other than cash and cash equivalents, were valued using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

 

When valuing Level 3 debt and equity investments and secured borrowing liabilities, the Company may take into account the following factors, where relevant, in determining the fair value of the investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable valuable of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons to publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made and other relevant factors. The primary method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments and to determine if debt investments or secured borrowings are credit impaired. If debt investments or secured borrowings are credit impaired, the Company will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value. For debt investments and secured borrowings that are not determined to be credit impaired, the Company uses a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value.

 

In addition, for certain debt and equity investments and secured borrowing liabilities, the Company may base its valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an independent third party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Company and others may be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the Company and others may be willing to accept for an investment. The Company generally uses the midpoint of the bid/ask range as its best estimate of fair value of such investment.

 

Fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting remaining payments using comparable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date, if available.

 

ASC Topic 820 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate such value. As a result, with the exception of the line item titled “debt” which is reported at cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the consolidated statements of financial condition due to their short maturity.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the assets and liabilities may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such assets and liabilities and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such assets and liabilities are generally subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company may realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded.

 

The Company’s investments and borrowings are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which investments and borrowings are traded.

The above tables are not intended to be all-inclusive but rather to provide information on significant unobservable inputs and valuation techniques used by the Company.

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and equity securities and secured borrowing liabilities are earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples, revenue multiples and market interest rates. The Company uses EBITDA multiples and, to a lesser extent revenue multiples, on its loans and equity securities and secured borrowing liabilities to determine any credit gains or losses. Significant increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The Company uses market interest rates for loans to determine if the effective yield on a loan is commensurate with the market yields for that type of loan. If a loan’s effective yield is significantly less than the market yield for a similar loan with a similar credit profile, then the resulting fair value of the loan may be lower.

 

The following are the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s debt as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013. Fair value is estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting remaining payments using comparable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date, if available.

 

   As of March 31, 2014   As of September 30, 2013 
   Carrying Value   Fair Value   Carrying Value   Fair Value 
                     
Debt  $572,150   $568,646   $412,100   $403,619

Note 7.Borrowings

 

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, the Company is only allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. On September 13, 2011, the Company received exemptive relief from the SEC allowing it to modify the asset coverage requirement to exclude the SBA debentures from this calculation. As such, the Company’s ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness may be less than 200%. This provides the Company with increased investment flexibility but also increases its risks related to leverage. As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 285.5%.

 

Debt Securitization: On July 16, 2010, the Company completed a $300,000 term debt securitization (“Debt Securitization”). The notes (“Notes”) offered in the Debt Securitization were issued by the Issuer, a subsidiary of Golub Capital BDC 2010-1 Holdings LLC (“Holdings”), a direct subsidiary of the Company, and the Class A Notes and Class B Notes are secured by the assets held by the Issuer. The Debt Securitization was executed through a private placement of $174,000 of Aaa/AAA Class A Notes of the Issuer which, as amended, bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.74%. The $10,000 face amount of Class B Notes bears interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.40%, and the $116,000 face amount of Subordinated Notes does not bear interest. In partial consideration for the loans transferred to the Issuer as part of the Debt Securitization, Holdings retained all of the Class B and Subordinated Notes totaling $10,000 and $116,000, respectively, and all of the membership interests in the Issuer, which Holdings initially purchased for two hundred and fifty dollars. On February 15, 2013, the Company amended the Debt Securitization to issue an additional $29,000 in Class A Notes, $2,000 in Class B Notes and $19,000 in Subordinated Notes. The additional Class A Notes of the Issuer were sold through a private placement and the additional Class B Notes and additional Subordinated Notes were retained by Holdings. On November 15, 2013, Holdings sold the $12,000 of Class B Notes of the Debt Securitization and on November 20, 2013, the transaction closed and proceeds of $11,999 were received. The Class A Notes are included in the March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013 consolidated statements of financial condition as debt of the Company. The Class B Notes are included in the March 31, 2014 consolidated statements of financial condition as debt of the Company and as of September 30, 2013 were eliminated in consolidation. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Subordinated Notes were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Through July 20, 2015, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the Issuer to purchase new collateral under the direction of the Investment Adviser in its capacity as collateral manager of the Issuer and in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy, allowing the Company to maintain the initial leverage in the Debt Securitization over this period. The Notes are scheduled to mature on July 20, 2023. As part of the Debt Securitization, the Company entered into a master loan sale agreement with Holdings and the Issuer under which the Company agreed to sell or contribute certain senior secured and second lien loans (or participation interests therein) to Holdings, and Holdings agreed to sell or contribute such loans (or participation interests therein) to the Issuer and to purchase or otherwise acquire subordinated notes issued by the Issuer. The Notes are the secured obligations of the Issuer, and an indenture governing the Notes includes customary covenants and events of default.

 

The Investment Adviser serves as collateral manager to the Issuer under a collateral management agreement and receives a fee for providing these services. The total fees payable by the Company under its Investment Advisory Agreement are reduced by an amount equal to the total fees that are paid to the Investment Adviser by the Issuer for rendering such collateral management services.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, there were 85 and 91 portfolio companies with a total fair value of $327,737 and $343,166, respectively, securing the Notes. The pool of loans in the Debt Securitization must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements.

SBA Debentures: On August 24, 2010, GC SBIC IV, L.P. (“SBIC IV”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, received approval for a license from the SBA to operate as an SBIC. On December 5, 2012, GC SBIC V, L.P. (“SBIC V”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, received a license from the SBA to operate as an SBIC. SBICs are subject to a variety of regulations and oversight by the SBA concerning the size and nature of the companies in which they may invest as well as the structures of those investments.

 

The licenses allow the Company’s SBICs to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures, subject to issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and customary procedures. These debentures are non-recourse to the Company, have interest payable semiannually and a ten-year maturity. The interest rate is fixed at the time of issuance at a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with ten-year maturities.

 

Under present SBIC regulations, the maximum amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures that may be issued by multiple licensees under common management is $225,000 and the maximum amount that may be issued by a single SBIC licensee is $150,000. As of March 31, 2014, SBIC IV and SBIC V had $150,000 and $52,350 of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures, respectively, leaving incremental borrowing capacity of $22,650 for SBIC V under present SBIC regulations. As of September 30, 2013, SBIC IV and SBIC V had $146,250 and $33,250, respectively, of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures.

SBIC IV and SBIC V may each borrow up to two times the amount of its regulatory capital, subject to customary regulatory requirements. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had committed and funded $75,000 to SBIC IV and SBIC IV had SBA-guaranteed debentures of $150,000 outstanding that mature between March 2021 and March 2024. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had committed $37,500 and funded $31,125 to SBIC V, and SBIC V had SBA-guaranteed debentures of $52,350 outstanding which mature between September 2023 and March 2024.

 

The interest rate on $202,350 of outstanding debentures as of March 31, 2014 is fixed at an average annualized interest rate of 3.7%. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the components of interest expense, cash paid for interest, annualized average interest rates and average outstanding balances for the SBA debentures were as follows:

 

   For the three months ended March 31,   For the six months ended March 31, 
   2014   2013   2014   2013

Revolving Credit Facility: On July 21, 2011, Funding, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as lender, which as of March 31, 2014 allowed Funding to borrow up to $250,000 at any one time outstanding, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.

 

On October 31, 2013, the Company and Funding amended the Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the size of the Credit Facility from $100,000 to $250,000, extend the expiration of the reinvestment period to October 21, 2014, during which period Funding, subject to certain conditions, may make borrowings under the facility and extend the stated maturity date from October 20, 2017 to October 22, 2018.

 

Through the reinvestment period, the Credit Facility bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum. After the reinvestment period, the rate will reset to LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum for the remaining term of the Credit Facility. In addition to the stated interest expense on the Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a non-usage fee rate between 0.50% and 2.00% per annum depending on the size of the unused portion of the Credit Facility.

 

The Credit Facility is collateralized by all of the assets held by Funding, and the Company has pledged its interests in Funding as collateral to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as the collateral agent, under an ancillary agreement to secure the obligations of the Company as the transferor and servicer under the Credit Facility. Both the Company and Funding have made customary representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. Borrowing under the Credit Facility is subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the 1940 Act.

 

The Company plans to transfer certain loans and debt securities it has originated or acquired from time to time to Funding through a purchase and sale agreement and may cause Funding to originate or acquire loans in the future, consistent with the Company’s investment objectives.

Borrowing under the Revolver is subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the 1940 Act, as amended. In addition, the Company pays a fee of 0.25% per annum on any unused portion of the Revolver.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had $800 and $0 outstanding debt under the Revolver. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had borrowings of $1,300 and repayments of $500 on the Revolver. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company had no borrowings and repayments on the Revolver. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the components of interest expense, cash paid for interest, annualized average interest rates and average outstanding balances for the Revolver were as follows:

 

   For the three months ended March 31,   For the six months ended March 31, 
   2014   2013   2014   2013 
Stated interest expense  $5    N/A   $5    N/A

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the effective annualized average interest rate, which includes amortization of debt financing costs and non-usage facility fees, on the Company’s total debt outstanding (excluding secured borrowings) was 3.0% and 3.1%, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, the effective annualized average interest rate, which includes amortization of debt financing costs and non-usage facility fees, on the Company’s total debt outstanding (excluding secured borrowings) was 3.5% and 3.5%, respectively.

 

A summary of the Company’s maturity requirements for borrowings as of March 31, 2014 is as follows:

 

   Payments Due by Period 
       Less Than           More Than 
   Total   1 Year   1-3 Years   3-5 Years   5 Years 
                     
Debt Securitization  $215,000   $-   $-   $-   $215,000 
SBA debentures   202,350    -    -    -    202,350 
Credit Facility   154,000    -    -    154,000    - 
Revolver   800    -    -    -    800 
Total borrowings  $572,150   $-   $-   $154,000   $418,150 

 

Secured Borrowings: Certain partial loan sales do not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860 because these sales do not meet the definition of a “participating interest”, as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales which do not meet the definition of a participating interest remain as an investment on the consolidated statement of financial condition and the portion sold is recorded as a secured borrowing in the liabilities section of the consolidated statement of financial condition. For these partial loan sales, the interest earned on the entire loan balance is recorded within “interest income” and the interest earned by the buyer in the partial loan sale is recorded within “interest and other debt financing expenses” in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company recognized secured borrowings at fair value of $18,222 and $8,809, respectively, and the fair values of the loans that are associated with these secured borrowings were $38,801 and $27,213, respectively. These secured borrowings were the result of the Company’s completion of partial loan sales of one stop loans associated with two portfolio companies that did not meet the definition of a “participating interest”. As a result, sale treatment was not allowed and these partial loan sales were treated as secured borrowings. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, there were partial loan sales totaling $2,068 and $10,295, respectively, net funding of revolving and delayed draw secured borrowings totaling $1,860 and $1,953, respectively, and repayments on secured borrowings totaled $96 and $2,978, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the effective annualized average interest rate on secured borrowings, which excludes amortization of original issuance costs, was 6.7% and 6.3%, interest expense was $246 and $382 and amortization of original issue discount was $13 and $55, respectively. There were no such partial loan sales during the three and six months ended March 31, 2013.

Note 8.Commitments and Contingencies

 

Commitments: The Company had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $95,584 and $76,269 under various undrawn revolvers and other credit facilities as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as these involve future claims that may be made against the Company but that have not occurred. The Company expects the risk of any future obligations under these indemnifications to be remote.

 

Off-balance sheet risk: Off-balance sheet risk refers to an unrecorded potential liability that may result in a future obligation or loss, even though it does not appear on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company has entered and, in the future, may again enter into derivative instruments that contain elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. Derivative instruments can be affected by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, which could impact the fair value of the derivative instruments. If market conditions move against the Company, it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the derivative instruments and may realize a loss. The Company minimizes market risk through monitoring its investments and borrowings.

 

Concentration of credit and counterparty risk: Credit risk arises primarily from the potential inability of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Company has engaged and, in the future, may engage again in derivative transactions with counterparties. In the event that the counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparties or issuers of the instruments. The Company’s maximum loss that it could incur related to counterparty risk on its derivative instruments is the value of the collateral for that respective derivative instrument. It is the Company’s policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.

 

Legal proceedings: In the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to legal and regulatory proceedings that are generally incidental to its ongoing operations. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings, the Company does not believe any disposition will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(3)In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, the Company is only allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. On September 13, 2011, the Company received exemptive relief from the SEC allowing it to modify the asset coverage requirement to exclude the SBA debentures from this calculation. As such, the Company’s ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness may be less than 200%. This provides the Company with increased investment flexibility but also increases its risks related to leverage.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains statistics and other data that have been obtained from or compiled from information made available by third-party service providers. We have not independently verified such statistics or data.

 

Overview

 

We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. As a business development company and a RIC, we are also subject to certain constraints, including limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the Code. We were formed in November 2009 to continue and expand the business of our predecessor, Golub Capital Master Funding LLC, or GCMF, which commenced operations in July 2007, in making investments in senior secured, one stop (a loan that combines characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured loans and second lien or subordinated loans), second lien and subordinated (a loan that ranks senior only to a borrower’s equity securities and ranks junior to all of such borrower’s other indebtedness in priority of payment) loans and warrants and equity securities of middle market companies that are, in most cases, sponsored by private equity firms.

 

Our shares are currently listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “GBDC”.

 

Our investment objective is to maximize the total return to our stockholders in the form of current income and capital appreciation through debt and minority equity investments. We intend to achieve our investment objective by (1) accessing the established loan origination channels developed by Golub Capital, a leading lender to middle market companies with over $10.0 billion in capital under management as of March 31, 2014, (2) selecting investments within our core middle market company focus, (3) partnering with experienced private equity firms, or sponsors, in many cases with whom we have invested alongside in the past, (4) implementing the disciplined underwriting standards of Golub Capital and (5) drawing upon the aggregate experience and resources of Golub Capital.

 

Our investment activities are managed by GC Advisors and supervised by our board of directors of which a majority of the members are independent of us.

 

Under an investment advisory agreement, or the Investment Advisory Agreement, which was most recently reapproved by our board of directors in May 2014, we have agreed to pay GC Advisors an annual base management fee based on our average adjusted gross assets as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. Under an administration agreement, or the Administration Agreement, we are provided with certain administrative services by an administrator, or the Administrator, which is currently Golub Capital LLC. Under the Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse the Administrator for our allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of our independent directors) of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

 

50
 

 

We seek to create a diverse portfolio that includes senior secured, one stop, second lien and subordinated loans and warrants and minority equity securities by investing approximately $5 to $25 million of capital, on average, in the securities of middle market companies. We may also selectively invest more than $25 million in some of our portfolio companies and generally expect that the size of our individual investments will vary proportionately with the size of our capital base.

 

We generally invest in securities that have been rated below investment grade by independent rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. These securities, which may be referred to as “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. In addition, many of our debt investments have floating interest rates that reset on a periodic basis and typically do not fully pay down principal prior to maturity, which may increase our risk of losing part or all of our investment.

 

As of March 31, 2014, our portfolio at fair value was comprised of 22.5% senior secured loans, 61.7% one stop loans, 8.9% second lien loans, 0.3% subordinated loans, 3.2% equity and 3.4% of investments in Senior Loan Fund LLC, or SLF. As of September 30, 2013, our portfolio at fair value was comprised of 28.9% senior secured loans, 54.1% one stop loans, 11.0% second lien loans, 2.2% subordinated loans, 3.3% equity and 0.5% of investments in SLF.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we had debt and equity investments in 139 and 135 portfolio companies, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, our income producing assets, which represented nearly 100% of our total portfolio, had a weighted average annualized income yield (which includes income from interest and fees but excludes amortization of capitalized fees and discounts) of 8.0% and 8.1% and a weighted average annualized investment income yield (which includes income from interest, fees and amortization of capitalized fees and discounts) of 8.6% and 8.7%, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, our income producing assets, which represented nearly 100% of our total portfolio, had a weighted average annualized income yield of 9.5% and 9.6% and a weighted average annualized investment income yield of 10.6% and 10.9%, respectively.

 

Revenues: We generate revenue in the form of interest and fee income on debt investments and capital gains and distributions, if any, on portfolio company investments that we originate or acquire. Our debt investments, whether in the form of senior secured, one stop, second lien or subordinated loans, typically have a term of three to seven years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. In some cases, our investments provide for deferred interest payments or payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest. The principal amount of loans and any accrued but unpaid interest generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans as fee income. Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Distributions received from limited liability company, or LLC, and limited partnership, or LP, investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, we will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

 

51
 

 

We recognize realized gains or losses on investments based on the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis of the investment or derivative instrument, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We record current period changes in fair value of investments and derivative instruments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Partial loan sales: We follow the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 860 – Transfers and Servicing, or ASC Topic 860, when accounting for loan participations and other partial loan sales. Such guidance requires a participation or other partial loan sale to meet the definition of a “participating interest”, as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales, which do not meet the definition of a participating interest, remain on our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and the proceeds are recorded as a secured borrowing until the definition is met.

 

Expenses: Our primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to GC Advisors under the Investment Advisory Agreement, our allocable portion of overhead expenses under the Administration Agreement and other operating costs described below. Additionally, we pay interest expense on our outstanding debt. We bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including:

 

·organizational expenses;
·calculating our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);
·fees and expenses incurred by GC Advisors payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, in monitoring financial and legal affairs for us and in monitoring our investments and performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies or otherwise relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments, which fees and expenses may include, among other items, due diligence reports, appraisal reports, any studies that may be commissioned by GC Advisors and travel and lodging expenses; interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments and expenses related to unsuccessful portfolio acquisition efforts;
·offerings of our common stock and other securities;
·investment advisory and management fees, including any incentive fees;
·administration fees and expenses, if any, payable under the Administration Agreement (including payments under the Administration Agreement between us and the Administrator based upon our allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs);
·fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, relating to, or associated with evaluating and making, investments in portfolio companies, including costs associated with meeting financial sponsors;
·transfer agent, dividend agent and custodial fees and expenses;
·U.S. federal and state registration and franchise fees;
·all costs of registration and listing our shares on any securities exchange;
·U.S. federal, state and local taxes;
·independent directors’ fees and expenses;
·costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents required by the SEC or other regulators;
·costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to stockholders, including printing costs;
·costs associated with individual or group stockholders;
·costs associated with compliance under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
·our allocable portion of any fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;
·direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone, copying, secretarial and other staff, independent auditors and outside legal costs;

 

52
 

 

·proxy voting expenses; and
·all other expenses incurred by us or the Administrator in connection with administering our business.

 

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.

 

GC Advisors, as collateral manager for Golub Capital BDC 2010-1 LLC, or the Securitization Issuer, under a collateral management agreement, is entitled to receive an annual fee in an amount equal to 0.35% of the principal balance of the portfolio loans held by the Securitization Issuer at the beginning of the collection period relating to each payment date, which is payable in arrears on each payment date. This fee, which is less than the management fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement, is paid directly by the Securitization Issuer to GC Advisors and offset against such management fee. Accordingly, the 1.375% management fee paid by us to GC Advisors under the Investment Advisory Agreement on all of our assets, including those indirectly held through the Securitization Issuer, is reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by an amount equal to such 0.35% fee paid to GC Advisors by the Securitization Issuer. The term ‘‘collection period’’ refers to a quarterly period running from the day after the end of the prior collection period to the fifth business day of the calendar month in which a payment date occurs. This fee may be waived by the collateral manager. The collateral management agreement does not include any incentive fee payable to GC Advisors. In addition, the Securitization Issuer paid Wells Fargo Securities, LLC a structuring and placement fee for its services in connection with the initial structuring and subsequent amendment of a $350 million term debt securitization, or the Debt Securitization. The Securitization Issuer also agreed to pay ongoing administrative expenses to the trustee, collateral manager, independent accountants, legal counsel, rating agencies and independent managers in connection with developing and maintaining reports, and providing required services in connection with, the administration of the Debt Securitization. The administrative expenses are paid by the Securitization Issuer on each payment date in two parts: (1) a component that is paid in a priority to other amounts distributed by the Securitization Issuer, subject to a cap equal to the sum of 0.04% per annum on the adjusted principal balance of the portfolio loans and other assets held by the Securitization Issuer on the last day of the collection period relating to such payment date, plus $150,000 per annum, and (2) a component that is paid in a subordinated position relative to other amounts distributed by the Securitization Issuer, equal to any amounts that exceed the aforementioned administrative expense cap. We believe that these administrative expenses approximate the amount of ongoing fees and expenses that we would be required to pay in connection with a traditional secured credit facility. Our common stockholders indirectly bear all of these expenses.

 

Recent Developments

 

On April 23, 2014, we sold an additional 166,855 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $18.05 per share pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of the option we granted in connection with our March 18, 2014 public offering of 3,500,000 shares on common stock. Settlement of this partial exercise of the option resulted in gross proceeds of $3.0 million and net proceeds, after underwriting costs, of $2.9 million.

 

On May 6, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.32 per share payable on June 27, 2014 to holders of record as of June 16, 2014.

Average debt outstanding (1)  $578,351   $375,771   $202,580   $536,009   $357,066   $178,943 

 

 

(1) For the three and six months ending March 31, 2014, we have excluded $18.2 million of secured borrowings, at fair value, which were the result of participations and partial loan sales that did not meet the definition of a "participating interest", as defined in the guidance to ASC Topic 860.

 

The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 may not be indicative of the results we report in future periods. Net income can vary substantially from period to period for various reasons, including the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciations. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not be meaningful.

 

Investment Income

 

Interest income increased by $5.9 million from the three months ended March 31, 2013 to the three months ended March 31, 2014 and was primarily driven by an increase in the average earning investment balance, which is the annual average balance of accruing loans in our investment portfolio, of $428.9 million. These gains were partially offset by a decline in the weighted average annualized income yield, which declined from 9.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to 8.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in yield was driven by a decline in fee income and interest rate compression on new investments.

 

Interest income increased by $13.3 million from the six months ended March 31, 2013 to the six months ended March 31, 2014 and was primarily driven by an increase in the average earning investment balance, which is the annual average balance of accruing loans in our investment portfolio, of $428.1 million. These gains were partially offset by a decline in the weighted average annualized income yield, which declined from 9.6% for the six months ended March 31, 2013 to 8.1% for the six months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in yield was driven by a decline in fee income and interest rate compression on new investments.

Income from accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums decreased by $0.3 million from the three months ended March 31, 2013 to the three months ended March 31, 2014. Income from accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums decreased by $0.8 million from the six months ended March 31, 2013 to the six months ended March 31, 2014. Income from the accretion of discounts and the amortization of premiums will fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter depending on the volume of payoffs and the discounts and premiums on the loans at the time of payoffs.

 

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded dividend income of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and received return of capital distributions of $0.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded dividend income of $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and received return of capital distributions of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

 

Fee income decreased by $0.8 million from the three months ended March 31, 2013 to the three months ended March 31, 2014 and was primarily driven by a decrease in prepayment fees of $0.8 million. Fee income decreased by $0.6 million from the six months ended March 31, 2013 to the six months ended March 31, 2014 and was primarily driven by a decrease in prepayment fees of $0.5 million.

 

The annualized income yield (which includes income from interest and fees but excludes amortization of capitalized fees and discounts) by security type for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:

 

   For the three months ended March 31,   For the six months ended March 31, 
   2014   2013   2014   2013 
Senior secured   7.0%   7.3%   7.1%   7.3%
One stop   8.2%   8.9%   8.4%   8.9%
Second lien   9.8%   11.8%   10.8%   11.5%
Subordinated debt   8.8%   13.6%   12.0%   13.9%
Subordinated notes in SLF (1)   7.2%   N/A    6.1%   N/A 

 

 

(1) SLF's proceeds from the subordinated notes were utilized by SLF to fund senior secured loans.

 

Annualized income yields on senior secured and one stop investments have declined from the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 to the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 due to a general trend of interest rate compression on new investments between the periods. The decrease in yield on second lien debt is attributed to the inclusion of $0.5 million of prepayment fees for the periods ending March 31, 2013. The decrease in yield on subordinated debt is due to significant repayments in subordinated debt investments over the past twelve months. As of March 31, 2014, we had only two remaining subordinated debt investments. For additional details on investment yields and asset mix, refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Portfolio Composition, Investment Activity and Yield” section below.

Expenses

 

The following table summarizes our expenses:

 

   For the three months ended March 31,   Variances   For the six months ended March 31,   Variances

   (In thousands)   (In thousands) 
                         
Interest and other debt financing expenses  $4,540   $3,292   $1,248   $8,632   $6,287   $2,345 
Base management fee   4,185    2,686    1,499    8,009    5,154    2,855 
Incentive fee   1,656    2,468    (812)   4,688    4,862    (174)
Professional fees   640    512    128    1,298    1,006    292 
Administrative service fee   742    610    132    1,324    1,158    166 
General and administrative expenses   145    134    11    276    252    24 
                               
Total expenses  $11,908   $9,702   $2,206   $24,227   $18,719   $5,508 

 

Interest and other debt financing expenses increased from the three months ended March 31, 2013 to the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to an increase in the weighted average of outstanding borrowings from $375.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $578.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. We increased our use of debt under the Debt Securitization, Small Business Administration, or SBA, debentures through the small business investment companies, or SBICs, the senior secured revolving credit facility, or Credit Facility, entered into by Golub Capital BDC Funding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as administrative agent and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as lender, and the revolving line of credit, or Revolver, entered into by Golub Capital BDC Revolver Funding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, or Revolver Funding, with The PrivateBank and Trust Company, or the PrivateBank as lender, to $215.0 million, $202.4 million, $154.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2014 from outstanding balances of $203.0 million, $135.0 million, $47.7 million and $0, respectively, as of March 31, 2013. The increase in interest and debt financing expenses was partially offset by a decrease in the effective annualized average interest rate on our outstanding debt from 3.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to 3.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Interest and other debt financing expenses increased from the six months ended March 31, 2013 to the six months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to an increase in the weighted average of outstanding borrowings from $357.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 to $536.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in interest and debt financing expenses was partially offset by a decrease in the effective annualized average interest rate on our outstanding debt from 3.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2013 to 3.1% for the six months ended March 31, 2014.

 

The base management fee increased as a result of a sequential increase in average assets from September 30, 2012 to March 31, 2014. The administrative service fee increased during the same period due to an increase in costs associated with servicing a growing investment portfolio.

 

The incentive fee decreased by $0.8 million and $0.2 million from the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 to the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, as our pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets, declined as the result of lower prepayment fee income and yield compression on new investments.

 

The Administrator pays for certain expenses incurred by us. These expenses are subsequently reimbursed in cash. Total expenses reimbursed by us to the Administrator for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 were $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Total expenses reimbursed by us to the Administrator for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 were $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for accrued expenses paid on behalf of us by the Administrator.

Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, investments in SLF and secured borrowings  $650   $1,857   $(1,207)  $7,221   $1,505   $5,716 

 

 

(1) Unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) on investments in SLF include our investments in the subordinated notes and LLC equity interests in SLF.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had a net realized gain of less than $0.1 million primarily due to a small cash collection on a previously written-off investment. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, we had net realized losses on investments totaling $5.0 million primarily due to the sale of one underperforming portfolio company and the write off of two non-accrual portfolio companies.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had $6.9 million in unrealized appreciation on 69 portfolio company investments, which was partially offset by $6.3 million in unrealized depreciation on 115 portfolio company investments. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, we had $18.4 million in unrealized appreciation on 90 portfolio company investments, which was partially offset by $11.3 million in unrealized depreciation on 124 portfolio company investments. Unrealized appreciation during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 resulted from an increase in fair value primarily due to the rise in market prices and a reversal of prior period unrealized depreciation associated with the portfolio company investment sales and write-offs. Unrealized depreciation primarily resulted from the amortization of discounts and negative credit related adjustments that caused a reduction in fair value. Additionally, we had less than $0.1 million in net unrealized appreciation on secured borrowing proceeds for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014. The unrealized appreciation resulted from the rise in market prices associated with the investments funded by the secured borrowing proceeds.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had $0.5 million in unrealized appreciation on our investment in SLF subordinated notes, which was partially offset by $0.5 million in unrealized depreciation on our investment in SLF LLC equity interests. The unrealized appreciation was the result of an increase of the contractual coupon rate of the subordinated notes. Unrealized depreciation on the SLF LLC equity interests was driven by the offsetting impact of the increase in pricing on the subordinated notes.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had $6.0 million in unrealized appreciation on 61 portfolio company investments, which was partially offset by $4.2 million in unrealized appreciation on 71 portfolio company investments. For the six months ended March 31, 2013, we had $9.9 million in unrealized appreciation on 71 portfolio company investments, which was partially offset by $8.4 million in unrealized depreciation on 75 portfolio company investments. Unrealized appreciation during the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 resulted from an increase in fair value primarily due to the rise in market prices and a reversal of prior period unrealized depreciation. Unrealized depreciation during the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 primarily resulted from the accretion of discounts and negative credit related adjustments that caused a reduction in fair value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2014, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 million. During the period we used $202.9 million in operating activities, primarily as a result of funding portfolio investments of $433.1 million. This was partially offset by proceeds from principal payments and sales of portfolio investments of $207.3 million and net investment income of $26.6 million. During the same period, cash used in investment activities of $2.9 million was driven by the increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents. Lastly, cash provided by financing activities was $202.2 million, primarily driven by borrowings on debt of $361.6 million and proceeds from shares sold of $61.3 million that were partially offset by repayments of debt of $201.6 million and distributions paid of $26.4 million.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $4.9 million. During the same period, we used $91.9 million in operating activities, primarily as a result of fundings of portfolio investments of $288.6 million. This was partially offset by proceeds from principal payments and sales of portfolio investments of $183.9 million and net investment income of $20.0 million. During the same period, cash used in investment activities of $47.2 million was driven by the change in restricted cash and cash equivalents. Lastly, cash provided by financing activities was $134.1 million, primarily due to borrowings on debt of $173.0 million and proceeds from shares sold of $122.5 million, partially offset by repayments of debt of $139.6 million and distributions paid of $19.2 million.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12.8 million and $16.3 million, respectively. In addition, we had restricted cash and cash equivalents of $41.3 million and $38.4 million as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents are available to fund new investments, pay operating expenses and pay distributions. As of March 31, 2014, $28.7 million of our restricted cash and cash equivalents could be used to fund new investments that meet the investment guidelines established in the Debt Securitization, which are described in further detail in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements, and for the payment of interest expense on the notes issued in the Debt Securitization. $6.0 million of such restricted cash and cash equivalents can be used to fund investments that meet the guidelines under the Credit Facility as well as for the payment of interest expense and revolving debt of the Credit Facility. $2.0 million of such restricted cash and cash equivalents can be used to fund investments that meet the guidelines under the Revolver as well as for the payment of interest expense and revolving debt of the Revolver. The remaining $4.6 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents can be used to fund new investments that meet the regulatory and investment guidelines established by the SBA for our SBICs, which are described in further detail in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements, and for interest expense and fees on our outstanding SBA debentures.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $95.6 million and $76.3 million, respectively. These amounts may or may not be funded to the borrowing party now or in the future. The unfunded commitments relate to loans with various maturity dates, but the entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, subject to the terms of each loan’s respective credit agreement.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, we had approximately $96.0 million and $70.4 million, respectively, of remaining commitments and $74.3 million and $60.5 million, respectively of availability on the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2014, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, we had approximately $14.2 million of remaining commitments and $0.2 million of availability on the Revolver. As of September 30, 2013, the Revolver was not in place.

On November 15, 2013, Golub Capital BDC 2010-1 Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, or Holdings, sold $12.0 million of Class B Notes of the Debt Securitization and on November 20, 2013, the transaction closed and proceeds of $12.0 million were received. The Class A Notes of the Debt Securitization are included in the March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013 consolidated statements of financial condition as debt of the Company. The Class B Notes are included in the March 31, 2014 consolidated statement of financial condition as debt of the Company and at September 30, 2013 were eliminated in consolidation.

 

On October 31, 2013, the Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, increase the size of the Credit Facility from $100 million to $250 million, extend the expiration of the reinvestment period from November 21, 2013 to October 21, 2014 and extend the stated maturity date from October 20, 2017 to October 22, 2018.

 

Under present SBIC regulations, the maximum amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures that may be issued by multiple licensees under common management is $225.0 million and the maximum amount that a single SBIC licensee may issue is $150.0 million. As of March 31, 2014, GC SBIC IV, L.P., or SBIC IV, and GC SBIC V, L.P., or SBIC V, had $150.0 million and $52.4 million of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures, respectively, leaving incremental borrowing capacity of $22.6 million for SBIC V, under present SBIC regulations. As of September 30, 2013, SBIC IV and SBIC V had $146.3 million and $33.2 million of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures, respectively.

 

SBIC IV and SBIC V may each borrow up to two times the amount of its regulatory capital, subject to customary regulatory requirements. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had committed and funded $75.0 million to SBIC IV and had SBA-guaranteed debentures of $150.0 million outstanding that mature between March 2021 and March 2024. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had committed $37.5 million and funded $31.1 million to SBIC V, and had SBA-guaranteed debentures of $52.4 million outstanding that mature between September 2023 and March 2024.

 

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. On September 13, 2011, we received exemptive relief from the SEC allowing us to modify the asset coverage requirement to exclude the SBA debentures from this calculation. As such, our ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness may be less than 200%. This provides us with increased investment flexibility but also increases our risks related to leverage. As of March 31, 2014, our asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 285.5% (excluding the SBA debentures).

 

On March 18, 2014, we priced a public offering of 3,500,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $18.05 per share, raising approximately $63.2 million in gross proceeds. On March 21, 2014, the transaction closed, the shares were issued, and proceeds, net of offering costs but before expenses, of $61.3 million were received. On April 23, 2014, we sold an additional 166,855 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $18.05 per share pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of the option granted in connection with the March offering.

 

Although we expect to fund the growth of our investment portfolio through the net proceeds from future securities offerings and through our dividend reinvestment plan as well as future borrowings, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, we cannot assure you that our efforts to raise capital will be successful. In addition to capital not being available, it also may not be available on favorable terms. Unfavorable economic conditions, including future recessions, also could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us.

 

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings as of March 31, 2014 will be sufficient to fund our anticipated requirements through at least March 31, 2015.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the weighted average annualized income yield on the fair value of income producing loans in our portfolio was 8.0% and 8.1%, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, the weighted average annualized income yield on the fair value of income producing loans in our portfolio was 9.5% and 9.6%, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, 96.5% and 96.1% of our debt portfolio at fair value and at cost, respectively, had interest rate floors that limit the minimum applicable interest rates on such loans. As of September 30, 2013, 96.1% and 95.6% of our debt portfolio at fair value and at cost, respectively, had interest rate floors that limit the minimum applicable interest rates on such loans.

 

As of March 31, 2014, the portfolio median earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, for our portfolio companies was $36.8 million. The portfolio median EBITDA data is based on the most recently reported trailing twelve month EBITDA received from the portfolio company. The portfolio median excludes underlying borrowers in SLF.

 

As part of the monitoring process, GC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and rates each of them based on an internal system developed by Golub Capital and its affiliates. This system is not generally accepted in our industry or used by our competitors. It is based on the following categories, which we refer to as GC Advisors’ internal performance rating:

 

Internal Performance Ratings
Rating   Definition
5   Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The borrower is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.
     
4   Involves an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination. The borrower is generally performing as expected, and the risk factors are neutral to favorable.
     
3   Involves a borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased somewhat since origination. The borrower may be out of compliance with debt covenants; however, loan payments are generally not past due.
     
2   Involves a borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).
     
1   Involves a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Loans rated 1 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of the loan to the amount we anticipate will be recovered.

 

Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments.

 

For any investment rated 1, 2 or 3, GC Advisors will increase its monitoring intensity and prepare regular updates for the investment committee, summarizing current operating results and material impending events and suggesting recommended actions.

 

GC Advisors monitors and, when appropriate, changes the internal performance ratings assigned to each investment in our portfolio. In connection with our valuation process, GC Advisors and our board of directors review these internal performance ratings on a quarterly basis.

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5 internal performance rating scale at fair value as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013:

Senior Loan Fund

 

Effective May 31, 2013, we entered an agreement to co-invest with United Insurance Company of America, or United Insurance, through SLF, an unconsolidated Delaware LLC whose purpose is to primarily invest in senior secured loans of middle market companies. SLF is capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio and investment decisions in respect to SLF must be approved by the SLF investment committee consisting of representatives of us and United Insurance (with approval from a representative of each required). SLF is capitalized with subordinated notes and LLC equity interest subscriptions from us and United Insurance. As of March 31, 2014, we and United Insurance owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of both the outstanding subordinated notes and LLC equity interests. As of March 31, 2014, SLF had subordinated note commitments from us and United Insurance totaling $100.0 million, of which approximately $41.4 million and $4.7 million in aggregate principal amount was funded at March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, SLF had LLC equity interest subscriptions from us and United Insurance totaling $25.0 million, of which approximately $5.9 million and $0.7 million in aggregate was called and contributed at March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

On January 17, 2014 Senior Loan Fund II LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of SLF, or SLF II, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility, or the SLF Credit Facility, with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as lender, which as of March 31, 2014 allowed SLF II to borrow up to $50 million subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions. As of March 31, 2014, SLF II had outstanding debt under the SLF Credit Facility of $21.6 million.

 

On April 11, 2014, SLF II amended the SLF Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the size of the SLF Credit Facility from $50.0 million to $100.0 million, extend the expiration of the reinvestment period to April 11, 2015 and extended the stated maturity date from January 17, 2019 to April 11, 2019.

 

63
 

 

Through the reinvestment period, the SLF Credit Facility bears interest at one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus a rate between 1.75% and 2.25%, depending on the composition of the collateral asset portfolio, per annum. After the reinvestment period, the rate will reset to one month LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum for the remaining term of the SLF Credit Facility.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, SLF had total assets at fair value of $76.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and September 31, 2013, SLF’s portfolio was comprised of first lien senior secured loans to 23 and four different borrowers, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, none of these loans was on non-accrual status. The portfolio companies in SLF are U.S. middle market companies in industries similar to those in which we may invest directly. Additionally, as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, SLF had commitments to fund various undrawn revolving credit and delayed draw loans to its portfolio companies totaling $6.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

 

Below is a summary of SLF’s portfolio, followed by a listing of the individual loans in SLF’s portfolio as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013:

We have committed to fund $87.5 million of subordinated notes and $21.9 million of LLC equity interest subscriptions to SLF. The amortized cost and fair value of the subordinated notes in SLF held by us was $36.2 million and $36.2 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2014, and $4.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2013. The subordinated notes pay a weighted average interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 8.0%, which increased from three month LIBOR plus 4.0% subsequent to closing the SLF Credit Facility. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, we earned interest income of $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, on the subordinated notes. We did not hold any subordinated notes during the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 as SLF did not commence operations until May 2013. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, we earned an annualized total return on our weighted average capital invested in SLF of 6.2% and 7.0%, respectively. The annualized total return on weighted average capital invested is calculated by dividing total income earned on our investments in SLF subordinated notes and LLC equity interests by the combined daily average of our investments in (1) the principal of the SLF subordinated notes and (2) the net asset value of the SLF LLC equity interests.

(1) The notes offered in the Debt Securitization are scheduled to mature on July 20, 2023. The SBA debentures are scheduled to mature between March 2021 and March 2024. The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on October 22, 2018. The Revolver is scheduled to mature on November 22, 2019. 

(2) Unfunded commitments represent all amounts unfunded as of March 31, 2014. These amounts may or may not be funded to the borrowing party now or in the future. The unfunded commitments relate to loans with various maturity dates, but we are showing this amount in the less than one year category as this entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers as of March 31, 2014. 

(3) Total contractual obligations excludes $18.2 million of secured borrowings.

 

We may become a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of our business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. These instruments may include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $95.6 million and $76.3 million, respectively.

 

We have certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. We have entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with GC Advisors in accordance with the 1940 Act. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, GC Advisors provides us with investment advisory and management services. For these services, we pay (1) a management fee equal to a percentage of the average adjusted value of our gross assets and (2) an incentive fee based on our performance. To the extent that GC Advisors or any of its affiliates provides investment advisory, collateral management or other similar services to a subsidiary of ours, we reduce the base management fee by an amount equal to the product of (1) the total fees paid to GC Advisors by such subsidiary for such services and (2) the percentage of such subsidiary’s total equity that is owned, directly or indirectly, by us.

 

Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes us with office facilities and equipment, provides us clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities and provides us with other administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. We reimburse the Administrator for the allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of our board of directors) of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and our allocable portion of the cost of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. The Administrator also provides on our behalf significant managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to offer to provide such assistance.

 

If any of the contractual obligations discussed above is terminated, our costs under any new agreements that we enter into may increase. In addition, we would likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we receive under our Investment Advisory Agreement and our Administration Agreement. Any new investment advisory agreement would also be subject to approval by our stockholders.

Distributions

 

In order to qualify as a RIC and to avoid corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we are required under the Code to distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders on an annual basis. Additionally, we must meet the annual distribution requirements of the U.S. federal excise tax rules. We intend to make quarterly distributions to our stockholders as determined by our board of directors.

 

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of our distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage requirements applicable to us as a business development company under the 1940 Act. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including the possible loss of our qualification as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.

 

To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, the source of a distribution to our stockholders may be the original capital invested by the stockholder rather than our income or gains. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a dividend payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our ordinary income or gains.

 

We have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a distribution, then our stockholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock unless a stockholder specifically “opts out” of our dividend reinvestment plan. If a stockholder opts out, that stockholder will receive cash distributions. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of our common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders participating in our dividend reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes.

Related Party Transactions

 

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:

 

·We entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with GC Advisors. Mr. Lawrence Golub, our chairman, is a manager of GC Advisors, and Mr. David Golub, our chief executive officer, is a manager of GC Advisors, and each of Messrs. Lawrence Golub and David Golub owns an indirect pecuniary interest in GC Advisors.

 

·Golub Capital LLC provides, and other affiliates of Golub Capital have historically provided, us with the office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct day-to-day operations pursuant to our Administration Agreement.

 

·We have entered into a license agreement with Golub Capital LLC, pursuant to which Golub Capital LLC has granted us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Golub Capital.”

 

·Under the Staffing Agreement, Golub Capital has agreed to provide GC Advisors with the resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Staffing Agreement provides that Golub Capital will make available to GC Advisors experienced investment professionals and access to the senior investment personnel of Golub Capital for purposes of evaluating, negotiating, structuring, closing and monitoring our investments. The Staffing Agreement also includes a commitment that the members of GC Advisors’ investment committee will serve in such capacity. Services under the Staffing Agreement are provided on a direct cost reimbursement basis.

 

·GC Advisors serves as collateral manager to the Securitization Issuer under a collateral management agreement and receives a fee for providing these services that is offset against the base management fee payable by us under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

·In our common stock offerings that closed on October 19, 2012, January 18, 2013 and September 17, 2013, Golub Capital Employee Grant Program Rabbi Trust, a trust organized for the purpose of awarding equity incentive compensation to employees of Golub Capital, purchased an aggregate of $3.0 million of shares, $1.0 million of shares and $1.7 million of shares, respectively, at each respective public offering price per share. In addition, in our common stock offerings that closed on October 19, 2012 and September 17, 2013, Mr. William M. Webster IV, one of our directors, and certain of his family members purchased 10,000 shares and 40,000 shares, respectively, at each respective public offering price per share.

 

·GC Advisors irrevocably waived $0.3 million of the incentive fee payable by us to GC Advisors for the year ended September 30, 2013.

 

70
 

 

GC Advisors also sponsors or manages, and may in the future sponsor or manage, other investment funds, accounts or investment vehicles (together referred to as “accounts”) that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. GC Advisors and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other accounts. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, and pursuant to GC Advisors’ allocation policy, GC Advisors or its affiliates may determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other accounts. We do not intend to make any investments if they are not permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, or if they are inconsistent with GC Advisors’ allocation procedures.

 

In addition, we have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of our and GC Advisors’ officers, directors and employees. Our officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by both the 1940 Act and the Delaware General Corporations Law.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.

 

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

 

We value investments for which market quotations are readily available at their market quotations. However, a readily available market value is not expected to exist for many of the investments in our portfolio, and we value these portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors under our valuation policy and process. We may seek pricing information with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value such investments. We also employ independent third party valuation firms for all of our investments for which there is not a readily available market value.

 

Valuation methods may include comparisons of the portfolio companies to peer companies that are public, the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings, discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private equity valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and may differ materially from values that may ultimately be received or settled.

 

71
 

 

Our board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value of investments that are not publicly traded, whose market prices are not readily available on a quarterly basis or any other situation where portfolio investments require a fair value determination.

 

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

·Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of GC Advisors responsible for credit monitoring.
·Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our senior management and GC Advisors.
·The audit committee of our board of directors reviews these preliminary valuations.
·At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment is reviewed by an independent valuation firm.
·The board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith.

 

The factors that are taken into account in fair value pricing investments include: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables; applicable market yields and multiples; security covenants; call protection provisions; information rights; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows and the markets in which it does business; comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public; comparable merger and acquisition transactions; and the principal market and enterprise values.

 

Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Under current auditing standards, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our consolidated financial statements.

 

We follow ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as amended, for measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the assets or liabilities or market and the assets’ or liabilities’ complexity. Our fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Assets and liabilities are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Inputs include significant unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information available and may require significant management judgment or estimation.

 

72
 

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and we consider factors specific to the asset or liability. We assess the levels of investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers. There were no transfers among Level 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for investments during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The following section describes the valuation techniques used by us to measure different assets and liabilities at fair value and includes the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the assets and liabilities are categorized.

 

Level 1 assets and liabilities are valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 assets and liabilities are valued using market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on input of management, the audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of our board of directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing twelve-month period under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with approximately 25% (based on fair value) of our valuations of debt and equity securities without readily available market quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm. All assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, other than cash and cash equivalents, were valued using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

 

When valuing Level 3 debt and equity investments and secured borrowing liabilities, we may take into account the following factors, where relevant, in determining the fair value of the investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable valuable of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons to publicly traded securities, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made and other relevant factors. The primary method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s EBITDA. The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments and to determine if debt investments or secured borrowings are credit impaired. If debt investments or secured borrowings are credit impaired, we will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value. For debt investments and secured borrowings that are not determined to be credit impaired, we use a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value.

 

In addition, for certain debt and equity investments and secured borrowing liabilities, we may base our valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an independent third party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that we and others may be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the lowest price that we and others may be willing to accept for an investment. We generally uses the midpoint of the bid/ask range as our best estimate of fair value of such investment.

 

Fair value of our debt is estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting remaining payments using comparable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date, if available.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the assets and liabilities may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a market existed for such assets and liabilities and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such assets and liabilities are generally subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded.

 

73
 

 

Our investments and borrowings are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments and borrowings are traded.

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

Our revenue recognition policies are as follows:

 

Investments and Related Investment Income: Our board of directors determines the fair value of our portfolio of investments. Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual interest terms of debt investments. Premiums, discounts, and origination fees are amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment. For investments with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we do not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not likely to be collectible. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees and prepayment premiums on loans and record these fees as fee income when received. Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Distributions received from LLC and LP investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, we will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

 

We account for investment transactions on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We report changes in fair value of investments from the prior period that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in our consolidated statement of operations.

 

Non-accrual: Loans may be left on accrual status during the period we are pursuing repayment of the loan. Management reviews all loans that become past due 90 days or more on principal and interest or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will not be collected for possible placement on non-accrual status. We generally reverse accrued interest when a loan is placed on non-accrual. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. We restore non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in our management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. The total fair value of our non-accrual loans was an amount less than $0.1 million as of March 31, 2014 and $0.7 million as of September 30, 2013.

 

74
 

 

Partial loan sales: We follow the guidance in ASC Topic 860, when accounting for loan participations and other partial loan sales. Such guidance requires a participation or other partial loan sale to meet the definition of a “participating interest”, as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales that do not meet the definition of a participating interest remain on our statements of assets and liabilities and the proceeds are recorded as a secured borrowing until the definition is met. Secured borrowings are carried at fair value to correspond with the related investments, which are carried at fair value.

 

Income taxes:

 

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

 

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year in an amount less than what would trigger payments of federal income tax under Subchapter M of the Code. We would then pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income may exceed estimated current year distributions, we accrue excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.

 

Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified within capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes when distributed as dividends to our shareholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We are subject to financial market risks, most significantly changes in interest rates. Many of the loans in our portfolio have floating interest rates, and we expect that our loans in the future may also have floating interest rates. These loans are usually based on a floating LIBOR and typically have interest rate reset provisions that adjust applicable interest rates under such loans to current market rates on a quarterly basis. The loans that are subject to the floating LIBOR rates are also subject to a minimum base rate, or floor, that we charge on our loans if the current market rates are below the respective floors. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the weighted average LIBOR floor on the loans subject to floating interest rates was 1.24% and 1.34%, respectively. In addition, the Class A and B Notes issued as a part of the Debt Securitization have a floating interest rate provision based on three-month LIBOR that resets quarterly, the Credit Facility has a floating interest rate provision based on one-month LIBOR that resets daily and the Revolver has a floating interest rate provision based on, at the election of Revolver Funding, either one-month, two-month or three-month LIBOR or PrivateBank’s prime rate that resets at contract maturity. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the weighted average LIBOR floor on the secured borrowings, which reset quarterly, was 1.24% and 1.25%. We expect that other credit facilities into which we enter in the future may have floating interest rate provisions.

 

Assuming that the interim and unaudited consolidated statement of financial condition as of March 31, 2014 were to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.

 

           Net increase 
   Increase (decrease) in   Increase (decrease) in   (decrease) in 
Change in interest rates  interest income   interest expense   investment income 
   (in thousands) 
Down 25 basis points  $(93)  $(925)  $832 
Up 50 basis points   187    1,849    (1,662)
Up 100 basis points   1,027    3,700    (2,673)
Up 200 basis points   12,118    7,628    4,490 
Up 300 basis points   23,722    11,560    12,162 

 

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 Debt Securitization, the Credit Facility, the Revolver 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.

 

We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps, futures, options and forward contracts to the limited extent permitted under the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates.

 

76
 

 

Item 4: Controls and Procedures.

 

As of the period covered by this report, we, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on our evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of material information about us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, are based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. There has not been any change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
