Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, total investment income was $7.3 million, a decrease of $1.0 million over the $8.3 million of total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was due to the continued yield compression in the markets and the continued transition of the portfolio. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, interest and PIK income comprised $6.7 million and other non-recurring income was $0.6 million as compared to $7.7 million of interest and PIK income and $0.6 of other non-recurring income as of June 30, 2017. Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $3.5 million or $0.25 per share as compared to $4.8 million or $0.36 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, total expenses were $3.8 million. Interest and financing expenses for the quarter were $2.0 million, the base management fee, after the management fee waiver, was $0.9 million and there were no incentive fees earned. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses totaled $0.9 million of which $0.2 million was comprised of consulting fee expenses incurred in connection with our exploration of measures to lower our cost of capital and other shareholder-related matters.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a net realized loss and net change in unrealized depreciation from portfolio investments of $5.7 million after the provision for taxes.  As a result, our net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was $2.2 million after the provision for taxes.

During the quarter five investments were written down: Black Diamond ($1.6mm), My Alarm Capital ($3.1mm), SAFE ($0.2mm), Tunnel Hill ($1.7mm) and XGS ($0.8mm) for approximately a $7.4 million decrease.

Portfolio and Investment Activities

As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of our investment portfolio totaled $246.2 million and consisted of 35 investments including 27 companies, 5 broadly syndicated loans, and 3 rated debt securities in CLOs. The average portfolio investment size on a cost basis was $7.1 million and equity investments constituted 10.0% of the portfolio.  We received proceeds from repayments, amortizations on investments and a loan refinancing of $30.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018.  This included the sale of Red Ventures, Inc., the repayment of debt from Lugano Diamonds, Superior Controls and Cirrus Medical Staffing, the assignment of 25% of Healthcare Associates of Texas and the refinancing of Pharmalogic Holding.

New and add-on investments including one loan re-financing totaled $19.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 included the following:

  • Manna Pro Products, Inc. - $1.3 million in L+6.00% 1st lien secured debt
  • Healthcare Associates of Texas (HCAT) - $1.0 million of the delayed draw commitment
  • NTI - $1.2 million of the delayed draw commitment
