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

Note 1 – Principal Business and Organization

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

The Company’s primary investment objective is to generate current income through debt and equity investments. A secondary objective of the Company is to generate long-term capital appreciation through such equity and equity-related investments including warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire equity securities. The Company’s portfolio strategy is to invest primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities issued by lower middle market (“LMM”) companies, which generally have annual revenues between $10 million and $150 million, and middle market (“Middle Market”) companies that are generally larger in size than the LMM companies, with annual revenues typically between $10 million and $3 billion. Our LMM and Middle Market portfolio investments generally range in size from $1 million to $15 million. The Company categorizes some of its investments in LMM companies and Middle Market companies as private loan (“Private Loan”) portfolio investments. Private Loan investments, often referred to in the debt markets as “club deals,” are investments, generally in debt instruments, that the Company originates on a collaborative basis with other investment funds. Private Loan investments are typically similar in size, structure, terms and conditions to investments the Company holds in its LMM portfolio and Middle Market portfolio. The Company’s portfolio also includes other portfolio (“Other Portfolio”) investments primarily consisting of investments managed by third parties, which differ from the typical profiles for LMM portfolio investments, Middle Market portfolio investments or Private Loan portfolio investments.

The Company previously registered for sale up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-178548) which was initially declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 4, 2012 (the “Initial Offering”). The Initial Offering terminated on December 1, 2015. The Company raised approximately $601.2 million under the Initial Offering, including proceeds from the dividend reinvestment plan of approximately $22.0 million. The Company also registered for sale up to $1,500,000,000 worth of shares of common stock (the “Offering”) pursuant to a new registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-204659), as amended, most recently declared effective on May 1, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had raised approximately $131.2 million in the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $31.4 million.

On February 22, 2017, the Company’s board of directors, after determining that it would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to do so, decided to continue the Offering until September 30, 2017 and authorized the closing of the Offering to new investors (the “Closing”) to occur on or about such date. The Company’s board of directors previously authorized the Closing to occur on or about March 31, 2017, subject to the board of directors’ final approval. The board of directors retained its right to provide final approval on the specific terms of the Closing, including its right to accelerate the Closing or to further continue the Company’s Offering if the board of directors determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to do so.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, HMS Funding I LLC (“HMS Funding”), HMS Equity Holding, LLC (“HMS Equity Holding”) and HMS Equity Holding II, Inc. (“HMS Equity Holding II”) were each organized as Delaware limited liability companies. HMS Funding was created pursuant to the EverBank Credit Facility (as defined below in Note 5 - Borrowings) in order to function as a “Structured Subsidiary,” which is permitted to incur debt outside of the EverBank Credit Facility since it is not a guarantor under the EverBank Credit Facility. HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II, which have elected to be taxable entities, primarily hold equity investments in certain portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes.

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

7



Advisory Agreement, Main Street became an affiliate of the Company. The Company has engaged Hines Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Adviser, to serve as the Dealer Manager for the Offering. The Dealer Manager is responsible for marketing the Company’s common stock.

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

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

Amounts as of December 31, 2016 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted herein. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was filed with the SEC on March 7, 2017.
 
Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows related to base management fees payable and directors’ fees payable have been disaggregated from due to affiliates and accounts payable and other liabilities, respectively, as of March 31, 2017. Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to income taxes have been disaggregated from other general and administrative expenses as of March 31, 2017. Additionally, the presentation of investment income has been changed to separately state interest income, fee income and dividend income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation as of March 31, 2017.

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

8



deferred interest payment. If it is determined that the deferred interest is unlikely to be collected, the Company will place the security on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that debt security until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay the contractual amounts due. Payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the collectability of the remaining principal and interest. If a debt security’s status significantly improves with respect to the debtor’s ability to service the debt or other obligations, or if a debt security is fully impaired, sold or written off, it will be removed from non-accrual status.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had five debt investments in four portfolio companies that were more than 90 days past due including two debt investments in one portfolio company that was on non-accrual status. The Company also had two additional investments in two portfolio companies on non-accrual status. Each of these portfolio companies experienced a significant decline in credit quality raising doubt regarding the Company’s ability to collect the principal and interest contractually due. Given the credit deterioration of these portfolio companies, the Company ceased accruing interest income on the non-accrual debt investments and wrote off any previously accrued interest deemed uncollectible. Aside from these four investments on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2017, the Company is not aware of any material changes to the creditworthiness of the borrowers underlying its debt investments.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had five debt investments in four portfolio companies that were more than 90 days past due (two of which were in the oil and gas industry), including three debt investments in two portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status. Each of these portfolio companies experienced a significant decline in credit quality raising doubt regarding the Company’s ability to collect the principal and interest contractually due. Given the credit deterioration, the Company ceased accruing interest income on the non-accrual debt investments and wrote off any previously accrued interest deemed uncollectible.

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

As of both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held 19 investments which contained a PIK provision. As of March 31, 2017, three of the 19 investments with PIK provisions were on non-accrual status. No PIK interest was recorded on these three non-accrual investments during the three months ended March 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2016, two of the 19 investments with PIK provisions were on non-accrual status. No PIK interest was recorded on these investments during the year ended December 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company capitalized $320,000 and $8,000, respectively, of PIK interest income. The Company stops accruing PIK interest and writes off any accrued and uncollected interest in arrears when it determines that such PIK interest in arrears is no longer collectible.

The Company may periodically provide services, including structuring and advisory services, to its portfolio companies or other third parties. The income from such services is non-recurring. For services that are separately identifiable and evidence exists to substantiate fair value, income is recognized as earned, which is generally when the investment or other applicable transaction closes. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $785,000 and $275,000 respectively, of fee income received from its portfolio companies or other third parties, which accounted for approximately 3.1% and 1.3%, respectively, of the Company’s total investment income during such period. Fees received in connection with debt financing transactions for services that do not meet these criteria are treated as debt origination fees and are deferred and accreted into interest income over the life of the financing.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards and any that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

Note 3 — Fair Value Hierarchy for Investments

Fair Value Hierarchy
 
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment.

9



Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
 
Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the observability of the inputs used to determine fair values. Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2—Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable for essentially the full term of the investment. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets (for example, thinly traded public companies), pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the investment, and pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the investment.
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Such information may be the result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes for which sufficient observable inputs were not available.

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

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of debt securities, equity investments, and Other Portfolio investments. The fair value determination for these investments primarily consisted of unobservable (Level 3) inputs.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of the Company’s LMM portfolio investments consisted of illiquid securities issued by private companies. The fair value determination for the LMM portfolio investments primarily consisted of unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s LMM portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s Middle Market portfolio investments consisted primarily of investments in secured and unsecured debt investments and independently rated debt investments. The fair value determination for these investments consisted of a combination of (1) observable inputs in non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were available to determine the fair value of these investments, (2) observable inputs in non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were not available to determine the fair value of these investments and (3) unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s Middle Market portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s Private Loan portfolio investments consisted primarily of debt investments. The fair value determination for Private Loan investments consisted of a combination of observable inputs in non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were not available to determine the fair value of these investments and unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s Private Loan portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s Other Portfolio investments consisted of illiquid securities issued by private companies. The Company relies primarily on information provided by managers of private investment funds in valuing these investments and considers whether it is appropriate, in light of all relevant circumstances, to value the Other Portfolio investments at the net asset value (“NAV”) reported by the private investment fund at the time of valuation or to adjust the value to reflect a premium or discount. The fair value determination for these investments primarily consisted of unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s Other Portfolio equity investments were categorized as Level 3 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.


10



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

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s LMM, Middle Market and Private Loan debt investments are (i) risk adjusted discount rates used in the yield-to-maturity valuation technique (described in Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-Valuation of Portfolio Investments in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was filed with the SEC on March 7, 2017) and (ii) the percentage of expected principal recovery. Increases (decreases) in any of these discount rates in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Increases (decreases) in any of these expected principal recovery percentages in isolation could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s LMM equity securities and Private Loan equity securities, which are generally valued through an average of the discounted cash flow technique and the market comparable/enterprise value technique (unless one of these approaches is not applicable), are (i) EBITDA multiples and (ii) the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). Increases (decreases) in EBITDA multiple inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Conversely, increases (decreases) in WACC inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. However, due to the nature of certain investments, fair value measurements may be based on other criteria, such as third-party appraisals of collateral and fair values as determined by independent third parties, which are not presented in the table below.

Note 4 — Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiaries

In accordance with Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X, the Company must determine which of its unconsolidated controlled portfolio companies, if any, are considered "significant subsidiaries." After performing this analysis, the Company determined that GRT Rubber Technologies, LLC (“GRT”) was a significant subsidiary for the three months ended March 31, 2016, under at least one of the significance conditions of Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X.  The Company had no “significant subsidiaries” under Rule 3-09 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 or for the year ended December 31, 2016, and under Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X for the three months ended March 31, 2017 or for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Note 5 — Borrowings
 
On March 11, 2014, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement with Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”), as administrative agent, and with Capital One and other financial institutions as lenders. On March 6, 2017, this credit facility was amended and restated (as amended and restated, the “EverBank Credit Facility”) to, among other things, extend the maturity date to March 6, 2020, reduce revolver commitments from $125.0 million to $95.0 million, and assign Capital One’s role as administrative agent to EverBank Commercial Finance, Inc. (“EverBank”). Borrowings under the EverBank Credit Facility bear interest, subject to the Company’s election, on a per annum basis equal to (i) the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate plus 2.75% or (ii) the base rate plus 1.75%. The base rate is defined as the higher of (a) the prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 0.5% or (c) the adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. The adjusted LIBOR rate is defined in the credit agreement for the EverBank Credit Facility as the one-month LIBOR rate plus such amount as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities. As of March 31, 2017, the one-month LIBOR rate was 0.98%. The Company pays an annual unused commitment fee of 0.300% on the unused revolver commitments if more than 50% of the revolver commitments are being used and an annual unused commitment fee of 0.625% on the unused revolver commitments if less than 50% of the revolver commitments are being used.

The EverBank Credit Facility permits the creation of certain “Structured Subsidiaries,” which are not guarantors under the EverBank Credit Facility and which are permitted to incur debt outside of the EverBank Credit Facility. Borrowings under the EverBank Credit Facility are secured by all of the Company’s assets, other than the assets of the Structured Subsidiaries, as well as all of the assets, and a pledge of equity ownership interests, of any future subsidiaries of the Company (other than Structured Subsidiaries). The credit agreement for the EverBank Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants usual and customary for credit facilities of this nature, including (i) maintaining a minimum interest coverage ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.00; (ii) maintaining an asset coverage ratio of at least 2.10 to 1.00; and (iii) maintaining a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, excluding Structured Subsidiaries, of at least the greater of (a) the aggregate amount of the revolver commitments or (b) $50.0 million. Further, the EverBank Credit Facility contains limitations on incurrence of other indebtedness (other than by the Structured Subsidiaries), limitations on industry concentration, and an anti-hoarding provision to protect the collateral under the EverBank Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company must provide information to EverBank on a regular basis, preserve its corporate existence, comply

16



with applicable laws, including the 1940 Act, pay obligations when they become due, and invest the proceeds of the sales of common stock in accordance with its investment objectives and strategies (as set forth in the EverBank Credit Facility). Further, the credit agreement contains usual and customary default provisions including: (i) a default in the payment of interest and principal; (ii) insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company; (iii) a material adverse change in the Company’s business; or (iv) breach of any covenant, representation or warranty in the loan agreement or other credit documents and failure to cure such breach within defined periods. Additionally, the EverBank Credit Facility requires the company to obtain written approval from the administrative agent prior to entering into any material amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Investment Advisory Agreement. As of March 31, 2017, the Company was not aware of any instances of noncompliance with covenants related to the EverBank Credit Facility.

On June 2, 2014, HMS Funding entered into a credit agreement (the “Deutsche Bank Credit Facility”) among HMS Funding, as borrower, the Company, as equityholder and as servicer, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”), as administrative agent, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (together with Deutsche Bank, the “HMS Funding Lenders”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent and collateral custodian. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility was amended and restated on May 18, 2015 and subsequently has been amended on multiple occasions, most recently on February 9, 2016, increasing the revolver commitments to $385.0 million. The Company contributes certain assets to HMS Funding from time to time, as permitted under the EverBank Credit Facility, as collateral to secure the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility.

Under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, interest is calculated as the sum of the index plus the applicable margin of 2.50%. If the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility is funded via an asset backed commercial paper conduit, the index will be the related commercial paper rate; otherwise, the index will be equal to one-month LIBOR. As of March 31, 2017, the one-month LIBOR rate was 0.98%. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility provides for a revolving period until December 16, 2017, unless otherwise extended with the consent of the HMS Funding Lenders. The amortization period begins the day after the last day of the revolving period and ends on June 16, 2020, the maturity date. During the amortization period, the applicable margin will increase by 0.25%. During the revolving period, HMS Funding will pay a utilization fee equal to 2.50% of the undrawn amount of the required utilization, which is 75% of the loan commitment amount. HMS Funding will incur an undrawn fee equal to 0.40% per annum of the difference between the aggregate commitments and the outstanding advances under the facility, provided that the undrawn fee relating to any utilization shortfall will not be payable to the extent that the utilization fee relating to such utilization shortfall is incurred. Additionally, per the terms of a fee letter executed on May 18, 2015, HMS Funding pays Deutsche Bank an administrative agent fee of 0.25% of the aggregate revolver commitments.

HMS Funding’s obligations under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in its assets, including all of the present and future property and assets of HMS Funding. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants usual and customary for credit facilities of this nature, including maintaining a positive tangible net worth, limitations on industry concentration and complying with all applicable laws. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility contains usual and customary default provisions including: (i) a default in the payment of interest and principal; (ii) insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company; (iii) the occurrence of a change of control; or (iv) any uncured breach of a covenant, representation or warranty in the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2017, the Company was not aware of any instances of noncompliance with covenants related to the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had borrowings of $68.0 million outstanding on the EverBank Credit Facility, and had borrowings of $318.0 million outstanding on the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, both of which the Company estimated approximated fair value.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Advisers did not waive base management fees but waived subordinated incentive fees of approximately $1.5 million and $493,000, respectively, and administrative services expenses of approximately $661,000 and $533,000, respectively. The ratio is calculated by reducing the expenses to reflect the waiver of expenses and reimbursement of administrative services in both periods presented. Excluding interest expense, the ratio of total expenses to average net assets for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 was 1.02% and 1.08%, respectively. See Note 10-Related Party Transactions and Arrangements for further discussion of fee waivers provided by the Advisers.

On March 23, 2017, with the authorization of the Company’s board of directors, the Company declared distributions to its stockholders for the period of April 2017 through June 2017. These distributions have been, or will be, calculated based on stockholders of record each day from April 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 in an amount equal to $0.00191781 per share, per day. Distributions are paid on the first business day following the completion of each month to which they relate.

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

The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions that the Company declared and, in some instances, paid on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

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

The Company may fund its cash distributions from all sources of funds legally available, including stock offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies, and fee and expense waivers from its Advisers. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds that the Company may use from legally available sources to make distributions. The Company expects that for the foreseeable future, a portion of the distributions may be paid from sources other than net realized income from operations, which may include stock offering proceeds, borrowings, and fee and expense waivers from the Advisers. See Note 10 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee Waiver.

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

Note 8 – Taxable Income

The Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC. As a RIC, the Company generally will not incur corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on net ordinary income or capital gains that the Company timely distributes each taxable year as dividends to its stockholders. To qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, the Company must, among other things, satisfy certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, the Company must distribute an amount in each taxable year generally at least equal to 90% of its investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, in order to maintain its ability to be subject to taxation as a RIC. As a part of maintaining its RIC status, undistributed taxable income (subject to a 4% excise tax) pertaining to a given taxable year may be distributed up to 12 months subsequent to the end of that taxable year, provided such distributions are declared prior to the earlier of eight-and-one-half months after the close of that taxable year or the filing of the federal income tax return for such prior taxable year. In order to avoid the 4% excise tax, the Company needs to distribute, in respect of each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of capital loss, or capital gain net income, (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year (or, if the Company so elects for that calendar year) and (3) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding years that was not distributed with respect to such years and on which the Company incurred

20



no U.S. federal income tax. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2015, the Company distributed $3.8 million, or $0.0615 per share, of its taxable income in 2016, prior to the filing of its federal income tax return for the 2015 taxable year. As a result, the Company was subject to a $119,000 nondeductible excise tax for the 2015 taxable year. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2016, the Company distributed $7.3 million, or $0.099478 per share, of our taxable income in 2017, prior to the filing of our federal income tax return for our 2016 taxable year. As a result, the Company was subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax liability of approximately $246,000.

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes, which provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits, if any, in income tax expense. There were no material uncertain income tax positions through March 31, 2017. The 2014 through 2016 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

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

Listed below is a reconciliation of “Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations” to taxable income and to total distributions declared to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands).

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

The income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities generated by HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II, if any, are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized a net income tax (benefit) provision of $48,000 and $23,000, respectively, related to deferred taxes of $261,000 and $4.4 million respectively, and other taxes of $48,000 and $23,000, respectively, offset by a valuation allowance of $(261,000) and $(4.4) million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the other taxes included $48,000 and $23,000, respectively, related to accruals for state and other taxes.

As of March 31, 2017, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $977.0 million, with such investments having an estimated net unrealized depreciation of $17.9 million, composed of gross unrealized appreciation of $19.8 million and gross unrealized

depreciation of $37.7 million. As of December 31, 2016, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $1.0 billion, with such investments having an estimated net unrealized depreciation of $13.2 million, composed of gross unrealized appreciation of $20.3 million and gross unrealized depreciation of $33.5 million.

The net deferred tax asset at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $0, of which $284,000 and $7.9 million, respectively, related to current year net loss on portfolio investments and unrealized appreciation/depreciation of portfolio investments held by HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II, $9.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, related to net operating loss carryforwards from historical realized losses on portfolio investments held by HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II, $878,000 and $878,000, respectively, related to net capital loss carryforward from historical realized losses on portfolio investments held by HMS Equity Holding offset by $(1.1) million and $(1.1) million, respectively, related to basis differences of portfolio investments held by HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes, and $(9.8) million and $(9.5) million, respectively, related to a valuation allowance. Based on HMS Equity Holding’s and HMS Equity Holding II’s short operating history, management believes it is more likely than not that there will be inadequate profits in HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II against which the deferred tax assets can be offset. Accordingly, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against such deferred tax asset.

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

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal tax regulations, which may differ from amounts determined in accordance with GAAP and those differences could be

Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements
 
Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee Waiver
 
The Company and the Adviser have entered into two expense support and conditional reimbursement agreements (as amended from time to time, the “2013 and 2014 Expense Reimbursement Agreements”), pursuant to which the Adviser could pay the Company up to 100% of its operating expenses through December 31, 2014 (the “Expense Support Payment”) in order to achieve a reasonable level of expenses relative to its investment income (the “Operating Expense Objective”). The Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, may approve the repayment of unreimbursed Expense Support Payments upon a determination by the board of directors that the Company has achieved the Operating Expense Objective in any quarter following receipt by the Company of an Expense Support Payment. The Company may reimburse any unreimbursed Expense Support Payments for up to three years from the date each respective Expense Support Payment was determined. Any Expense Support Payments that remain unreimbursed three years after such payment will be permanently waived.

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

The Company and the Advisers entered into conditional income incentive fee waiver agreements (the “2016-2017 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements”), most recently on April 24, 2017, pursuant to which, for a period from January 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017, the Advisers could waive the “subordinated incentive fee on income,” as such term is defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event that, in the Advisers’ sole discretion, causes such waiver to be deemed necessary. The 2016-2017 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements may require the Company to repay the Advisers for previously waived reimbursement of Expense Support Payments or waived base management fees or incentive fees under certain circumstances.

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

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

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred base management fees of approximately $5.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and the Advisers waived no base management fees in either period. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred no capital gains incentive fees in either period, and incurred subordinated incentive fees on income of approximately $1.5 million and $493,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Advisers waived no capital gains incentive fees in either period, and subordinated incentive fees on income of approximately $1.5 million and $493,000, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not record an accrual for any previously waived fees. Any future reimbursement of previously waived fees to the Advisers will not be accrued until the reimbursement of the waived fees becomes probable and estimable, which will be upon approval of the Company’s board of directors. To date, none of the previously waived fees has been approved by the board of directors for reimbursement.

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

Note 13 – Subsequent Events
 
From April 1, 2017 through May 12, 2017, the Company raised approximately $11.9 million in the Offering. During this period, the Company funded approximately $89.8 million in investments and received proceeds from repayments and dispositions of approximately $61.0 million.

On April 4, 2017, the Company and ORIX Funds Corp. (“ORIX”) entered into a limited liability company agreement to co-manage HMS-ORIX SLF LLC (the “Joint Venture”). The Joint Venture, which is expected to invest primarily in broadly-syndicated loans, will not be treated as a consolidated subsidiary, but will be included as a control investment in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value. The Company and ORIX will have equal representation on the Joint Venture’s Board of Managers, which will be responsible for, among other things, approving all portfolio and investment decisions of the Joint Venture. The Company and ORIX have committed to provide an aggregate of $50.0 million of equity to the Joint Venture, with the Company providing $30.0 million and ORIX providing $20.0 million. On the same day, the Company and ORIX funded $15.0 million and $10.0 million of their equity commitments. The Company and ORIX will initially own 60% and 40% of the Joint Venture, respectively. Additionally, the Joint Venture has entered into a $100.0 million credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. that will help the Joint Venture achieve its investment objectives.

On April 24, 2017, the Company, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser entered into a conditional income incentive fee agreement (the “First Quarter 2017 Fee Waiver Agreement”), pursuant to which, for a period from January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017, the Advisers could waive the “subordinated incentive fee on income,” as such term is defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event that, in the Advisers’ sole discretion, causes such waiver to be deemed necessary. The First Quarter 2017 Fee Waiver Agreement may require the Company to repay the Advisers for previously waived Expense Support Payments or waived base management fees or incentive fees under certain circumstances. The previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by the Company, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver.

On April 28, 2017, the Company filed a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the SEC, to commence an offer by the Company to purchase, as approved by its board of directors, 1,395,270.20 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The offer is for cash at a purchase price equal to the NAV per share to be determined within 48 hours of the repurchase date.

On May 1, 2017, the SEC declared effective post-effective amendment no. 4 to the Company’s registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-204659).

OVERVIEW

We are a specialty finance company sponsored by Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”) that makes debt and equity investments in middle market (“Middle Market”) companies, which we define as companies with annual revenues generally between $10 million and $3 billion and in lower middle market (“LMM”) companies, which we define as companies with annual revenues generally between $10 million and $150 million. We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We are, therefore, required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. We have elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Our primary investment objective is to generate current income through debt and equity investments. A secondary objective is to generate long-term capital appreciation through equity and equity-related investments, including warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire equity securities. Our portfolio strategy calls is to invest primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities issued by LMM companies and Middle Market companies in private placements and negotiated transactions, which are traded in private over-the-counter markets for institutional investors. We will also invest in, and a significant portion of our assets are invested in, customized direct secured and unsecured loans to and equity securities of LMM companies, referred to as LMM securities. Typically, our investments in LMM companies require us to co-invest with Main Street Capital Corporation, a New York Stock Exchange listed BDC (“Main Street”), and/or its affiliates as a result of our sub-advisory relationship described below. We categorize some of our investments in LMM companies and Middle Market companies as private loan (“Private Loan”) portfolio investments. Private Loan investments, often referred to in the debt markets as “club deals,” are investments, generally in debt instruments, that we originate on a collaborative basis with other investment funds. Private Loan investments are typically similar in size, structure, terms and conditions to investments we hold in our LMM portfolio and Middle Market portfolio. Our portfolio also includes other portfolio (“Other Portfolio”) investments primarily consisting of investments managed by third parties, which differ from the typical profiles for our LMM portfolio investments, Middle Market portfolio investments or Private Loan portfolio investments.

We previously registered for sale up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-178548) which was initially declared effective by the SEC on June 4, 2012 (the “Initial Offering”). The Initial Offering terminated on December 1, 2015. We raised approximately $601.2 million in the Initial Offering, including proceeds from the dividend reinvestment plan of approximately $22.0 million. We also registered for sale up to $1,500,000,000 worth of shares of common stock (the “Offering”) pursuant to a new registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-204659), as amended, most recently declared effective on May 1, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, we had raised approximately $131.2 million in the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $31.4 million.

On February 22, 2017, our board of directors, after determining that it would be in our best interests and its stockholders to do so, decided to continue the Offering until September 30, 2017 and authorized the closing of our continuous public offering of common stock to new investors (the “Closing”) on or about such date.  Our board of directors previously authorized the Closing to occur on or about March 31, 2017, subject to our board of directors’ final approval. Our board of directors retained its right to provide final approval on the specific terms of the Closing, including its right to accelerate the Closing or to further continue our continuous public offering of common stock if the board of directors determines that it is in the best interests of us and our stockholders to do so.

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

As a BDC, we are subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making our investments, including limitations on our ability to co-invest with certain affiliates, including Main Street. However, we received an order from the SEC, that permits us, subject to certain conditions, to co-invest with Main Street in certain transactions originated by Main Street and/or our Advisers. The exemptive relief permits us, and certain of our directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries on one hand, and Main Street and or/certain of its affiliates on the other hand, to co-invest in the same investment opportunities where such investment may otherwise be

29



prohibited under Section 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act. In addition, we may continue to co-invest with Main Street and/or its affiliates in syndicated deals and secondary loan market purchases in accordance with applicable regulatory guidance or interpretations where price is the only negotiated point.

As of March 31, 2017, we had investments in 68 Middle Market debt investments, 32 Private Loan debt investments, 31 LMM debt investments, 29 LMM equity investments, five Middle Market equity investments, 10 Private Loan equity investments and three Other Portfolio investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $959.1 million, a cost basis of approximately $977.0 million, and a weighted average effective annual yield of approximately 8.9%. The weighted average annual yield was calculated using the effective interest rates for all investments at March 31, 2017, including accretion of original issue discount and amortization of premium to par value, the amortization of fees received in connection with transactions, and assumes zero yield for investments on non-accrual status. Approximately 81.7% and 11.1% of our total portfolio investments (at fair value, excluding our Other Portfolio investments) were secured by first priority liens and second priority liens on portfolio company assets, respectively, with the remainder in unsecured debt investments and equity investments.
 
The level of new portfolio investment activity will fluctuate from period to period based upon the status of our capital raising efforts under the Offering, our view of the current economic fundamentals, our ability to identify new investment opportunities that meet our investment criteria and our ability to close on the identified transactions. The level of new investment activity and associated interest and fee income will directly impact future investment income. While we intend to grow our portfolio and our investment income over the long-term, our growth and our operating results may be more limited during depressed economic periods. However, we intend to appropriately manage our cost structure and liquidity position based on applicable economic conditions and our investment outlook. The level of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation will also fluctuate depending upon portfolio activity and the performance of our individual portfolio companies. The changes in realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation could have a material impact on our operating results.
 
Investment Income
 
We have generated, and plan to continue to generate, investment income primarily in the form of interest on the debt securities that we hold, dividends and other distributions with respect to any equity interests that we hold and capital gains, if any, on our investments. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, and possibly consulting fees and performance-based fees. All such fees will be generated in connection with our investments and recognized as earned or as additional yield over the life of the debt investment. To date our investment income has been interest income on debt investments, accretion of original issue discounts, dividend income, amortization of premiums and fees received from transactions and net realized/unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

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

30



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

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

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

From time to time, our Advisers may waive certain fees accrued under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, as applicable, and our Adviser may pay to us up to 100% of our operating expenses (an “Expense Support Payment”). We may reimburse such waived fees and Expense Support Payments within three years from the date of each respective fee waiver and from the date that each respective Expense Support Payment was determined. See Note 10 - Related Party Transactions and Arrangements - Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee Waiver to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information on our fee waivers and expense reimbursements.

Administration

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, we are required to pay or reimburse our Advisers for administrative services expenses, which include all costs and expenses related to our day-to-day administration and management not related to advisory services. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred, and our Advisers waived the reimbursement of, administrative services expenses of approximately $661,000 and $533,000, respectively. On April 24, 2017, we and the Advisers agreed to an amendment to the 2014 Expense Reimbursement Agreement, which extended the period for waiver of reimbursement of administrative expenses accrued pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement through June 30, 2017. The waiver of the reimbursement of administrative service expenses is not subject to future reimbursement.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Each of our critical accounting policies involves the use of estimates that require management to make assumptions that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A disclosure of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during 2017, except as described below.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Under the 1940 Act rules, regulations pursuant to Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X and Topic 946-Financial Services-Investment Companies of the Accounting Standards Codification, as amended (the “ASC”), of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Financial Accounting Services-Investment Companies, we are precluded from consolidating portfolio company investments, including those

31



in which we have a controlling interest, unless the portfolio company is a wholly-owned investment company. An exception to this general principle occurs if we own a controlled operating company whose purpose is to provide services to us such as an investment adviser or transfer agent. None of our investments qualifies for this exception. Therefore, our portfolio company investments, including those in which we have a controlling interest, are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value with changes to fair value recognized as “Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations until the investment is realized, usually upon exit, resulting in any gain or loss on exit being recognized as a realized gain or loss. However, in the event that any controlled subsidiary exceeds the tests of significance set forth in Rules 3-09 or 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X, we will include required financial information for such subsidiary in the notes or as an attachment to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT COMPOSITION

Our Middle Market portfolio investments primarily consist of direct or secondary purchases of interest-bearing debt securities in companies that are generally larger in size than the LMM companies included in our LMM portfolio. While our Middle Market debt investments are generally secured by a first priority lien, 17.2% of the fair value of our Middle Market portfolio is secured by second priority liens.
 
Our current LMM portfolio consists of debt investments secured by first and second priority liens (63.8% and 3.1% of the total fair value of the LMM portfolio, respectively) on the assets of the portfolio companies and equity investments (33.1% of the total fair value of the LMM portfolio) in privately held LMM companies as of March 31, 2017. The LMM debt investments generally mature between five and seven years from the original investment date. The LMM equity investments represent an equity position or the right to acquire an equity position through warrants.

Our Private Loan portfolio primarily consists of debt investments secured by first and second priority liens (92.6% and 0.6% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio, respectively) on the assets of the portfolio companies, unsecured debt investments (4.4% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio) and equity investments (2.4% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio) in Private Loan companies as of March 31, 2017. The Private Loan debt investments typically have stated terms between three and seven years from the original investment date. The Private Loan equity investments represent an equity position or the right to acquire an equity position through warrants.

Our Other Portfolio investments primarily consist of investments managed by third parties, which differ from the typical profiles for LMM, Middle Market and Private Loan portfolio investments. In the Other Portfolio investments, we may incur indirect fees and expenses in connection with investments managed by third parties, such as investments in other investment companies or private funds.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we funded investment purchases of approximately $110.9 million and had one investment under contract to purchase as of March 31, 2017, for approximately $7.4 million, which settled or we scheduled to settle after March 31, 2017. We also received proceeds from sales and repayments of existing portfolio investments of approximately $137.8 million including $9.7 million in sales. Additionally, we had two investments under contract to sell as of March 31, 2017, for approximately $8.2 million, which represented the contract sales price. The combined result of these transactions decreased our portfolio, on a cost basis, by approximately $25.4 million, or 2.5%, but the number of portfolio investments did not change between December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the largest investment in an individual portfolio company represented approximately 1.8% of our portfolio’s fair value with the remaining investments in an individual portfolio company ranging from 0.0% to 1.7%. The average investment in our portfolio is approximately $5.4 million or 0.6% of the total portfolio. As a result of these transactions, our portfolio has become increasingly broadened across individual portfolio investments, geographic regions, and industries. Further, our total portfolio’s investment composition (excluding our Other Portfolio investments) at fair value is comprised of 81.7% first lien debt securities and 11.1% second lien debt securities, with the remainder in unsecured debt investments and equity investments. First lien debt securities have priority over subordinated debt owed by the issuer with respect to the collateral pledged as security for the loan. Due to the relative priority of payment of first lien investments, these generally have lower yields than lower priority, less secured investments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we made investment purchases of approximately $83.1 million and had two investments under contract to purchase as of March 31, 2016 for approximately $3.6 million, which settled after March 31, 2016. We also received proceeds from sales and repayments of existing portfolio investments of approximately $47.4 million including $37.5 million in sales and had three investments under contract to sell as of March 31, 2016 for approximately $11.8 million, which represented the contract sales price.

The result of these transactions further diversified our geographic and industry concentrations and based upon our investment rating system, which is described further below, the weighted average rating of our LMM was approximately 2.7 and 2.6 as of

32



March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Lastly, the overall weighted average effective yield on our investment portfolio has remained unchanged at 8.9% as of both December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017.

PORTFOLIO ASSET QUALITY
  
As of March 31, 2017, we owned a broad portfolio of 178 investments in 124 companies representing a wide range of industries. We believe that this broad portfolio adds to the structural protection of the portfolio, revenue sources, income, cash flows and dividends. The portfolio included the following:

68 debt investments in 64 Middle Market portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $573.4 million and a cost basis of approximately $592.1 million. The Middle Market debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 8.8%, which is calculated assuming the investments on non-accrual status are non-yielding, and 81.6% of the Middle Market debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 86.6% of the Middle Market investments contain variable rates, though a majority of the investments with variable rates are subject to contractual minimum base interest rates between 100 and 150 basis points.

32 debt investments in 31 Private Loan portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $231.9 million and a cost basis of approximately $234.8 million. The Private Loan debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 9.1%, which is calculated assuming the investments on non-accrual status are non-yielding, and 94.9% of the Private Loan debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 89.1% of the Private Loan debt investments contain variable rates, though a majority of the investments with variable rates are subject to contractual minimum base interest rates between 100 and 150 basis points.

31 debt investments in 23 LMM portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $82.3 million and a cost basis of approximately $83.8 million. The LMM debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 11.9% and 95.3% of the debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Also, 43.2% of the LMM debt investments are fixed rate investments with fixed interest rates between 7.0% and 15.0%. Further, 15 LMM debt investments, representing approximately 56.8% of the LMM debt investments have variable rates subject to a contractual minimum base interest rate of 100 basis points.

38 equity investments and nine equity warrant investments in 23 LMM portfolio companies, seven Private Loan portfolio companies, four Middle Market portfolio companies and three Other Portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $71.5 million and a cost basis of approximately $66.3 million.

Overall, our investment portfolio had a weighted average effective yield on our investments of approximately 8.9%, and 79.9% of our total portfolio’s investment composition (including our Other Portfolio investments) was secured by first priority liens.

As of March 31, 2017, we had four investments in three portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 1.1% of our total investment portfolio at fair value and 0.3% of the total investment portfolio at cost. As of December 31, 2016, we had three investments in two portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status. These three investments on non-accrual status comprised approximately 0.2% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and 0.8% of the total investment portfolio at cost. For those investments in which S&P credit ratings are available, which represents approximately 44.7% of the portfolio as of March 31, 2017, the portfolio had a weighted average effective credit rating of B.

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

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

The following table shows the distribution of our LMM portfolio investments on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS COMPARISONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017 AND MARCH 31, 2016

Total Investment Income, Operating Expenses, Net Assets
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, our total investment income was approximately $25.4 million and $21.3 million, respectively, consisting predominately of interest income. As of March 31, 2017 the portfolio had a weighted average annual effective yield on investments of approximately 8.9% compared to 8.2% as of March 31, 2016, and our average investment portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $974.2 million compared to $855.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we accreted approximately $4.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of unearned income into interest income. The increase in interest income was primarily due to (i) the growth in our total portfolio resulting from the investment of additional equity capital raised and borrowings under our amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility (the “EverBank Credit Facility”) entered into by and among us, HMS Equity Holding, LLC, HMS Equity Holding II, Inc. EverBank Commercial Finance, Inc. as administrative agent and certain financial institutions as lenders, and the amended and restated credit agreement (the “Deutsche Bank Credit Facility,” and, together with our EverBank Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”) entered into by and among HMS Funding I, LLC, us, as equityholder and servicer, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders and U.S. Bank National Association as collateral agent and collateral custodian and (ii) acceleration of the accretion of original issuance discounts primarily

34



resulting from principal repayments on certain portfolio investments. We believe further increases in investment income in future periods may arise due to (i) a growing base of portfolio company investments and (ii) investments being held for the entire period relative to incremental net investment activity during each quarter. For information on the Credit Facilities, see Note 5 - Borrowings to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $785,000 and $275,000, respectively, of fee income received from our portfolio companies or other third parties, which accounted for approximately 3.1% and 1.3%, respectively, of our total investment income during such period.  Such fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of prepayment fees, structuring fees, amendment and consent fees and other non-recurring fees. As such, future fee income is generally dependent on new direct origination investments and the occurrence of prepayments and other events at existing portfolio companies resulting in such fees.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, expenses, net of incentive fee and administrative services expense waivers, were approximately $10.2 million and $9.0 million, respectively. The increase in expenses is primarily due to (i) an increase in base management fees and incentive fees (net of fee waivers) of $656,000, (ii) an increase in the amortization of offering costs of $378,000 and (iii) an increase in interest expense of $285,000. Base management fees and incentive fees (net of fee waivers) increased primarily due to an increase in our average gross assets. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in our average borrowings during the period and an increase in our cost of borrowing on the Credit Facilities. Average borrowings were $399.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $387.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the annualized interest rate on borrowings was 3.7% and 3.0%, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations (gross of stockholder distributions declared) was approximately $13.3 million. The increase was attributable to net investment income of approximately $15.2 million and net realized gains of approximately $2.6 million, offset by unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $4.5 million. The realized gains were primarily the result of the exit of one Private loan equity investment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the net decrease in net assets resulting from operations (gross of stockholder distributions declared) was approximately $2.7 million. The decrease was attributable to unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $14.3 million and realized losses of approximately $646,000, offset by net investment income of approximately $12.2 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately $41.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, which we held in various custodial accounts. In addition, as of March 31, 2017, we had $94.0 million in capacity available under the Credit Facilities. To seek to enhance our returns, we intend to continue to employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of our Adviser, but in no event will leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of our assets, as required by the 1940 Act. See “Liquidity and Cash Flows-Financing Arrangements.

As of March 31, 2017, we had 22 senior secured loan investments and three equity investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $44.1 million. We believe that we maintain sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Flows

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $17.7 million. During that period, approximately $39.2 million of cash was provided by our operating activities, which principally consisted of a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $13.3 million and principal repayments from

35



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

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.5 million. During that period, approximately $24.9 million of cash was used in our operating activities, which principally consisted of the purchase of new portfolio investments of $83.1 million and a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $2.7 million, offset by principal repayments from and sales of investments in portfolio companies of $47.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, approximately $21.4 million was generated from financing activities, which principally consisted of a net $15.0 million increase in borrowings under the Credit Facilities and $13.4 million in net stock offering proceeds received, offset by $5.2 million in cash distributions paid to stockholders, $1.5 million in cash distributions related to redemption of our common stock and $359,000 paid for financing costs related to amendments to the Credit Facilities during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we raised proceeds of $20.6 million from the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan, and incurred $1.3 million for selling commissions and Dealer Manager fees. We also incurred an obligation for $308,000 of costs related to the Offering.

On March 23, 2017, with the authorization of our board of directors, we declared distributions to our stockholders for the period of April 2017 through June 2017. These distributions have been, or will be, calculated based on stockholders of record each day from April 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 in an amount equal to $0.00191781 per share, per day. Distributions are paid on the first business day following the completion of each month to which they relate.
 
For the years ending December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the tax characteristics of distributions paid to shareholders were as follow (amounts in thousands):

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

We have adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for our stockholders. As a result, if we make a distribution, our stockholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock.
 
We may fund our cash distributions from any sources of funds legally available, including stock offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and fee waivers from our Advisers. We have not established any limit on the extent to which we may use borrowings or stock offering proceeds to fund distributions. Our distributions may exceed our earnings, especially during the period before we have substantially invested the stock offering proceeds. As a result, a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors.
 
In order to satisfy the Code’s requirements applicable to entities subject to tax as a RIC, we must distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our taxable income on an annual basis. However, we may elect to spill over certain excess undistributed taxable income from one tax year into the next tax year, which may require us to pay a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on such excess undistributed taxable income. In order to avoid the imposition of the 4% non-deductible excise tax, we need to distribute, in respect of each calendar year dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain in excess of capital loss, or capital gain net income, adjusted for certain ordinary losses, for the one-year period ending on October 31st of such calendar year (or, if we so elect, for the calendar year) and (3) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for the preceding calendar years that was not distributed during such calendar years and on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax.

Financing Arrangements

We anticipate that we will continue to fund our investment activities through existing cash, capital raised from our stock offerings, and borrowings on the Credit Facilities. Our primary uses of funds in both the short-term and long-term are expected to be investments in portfolio companies, operating expenses and cash distributions to holders of our common stock.
 
As of March 31, 2017, we had $68.0 million outstanding and $27.0 million available under our EverBank Credit Facility, and $318.0 million outstanding and $67.0 million available under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, both of which we estimated approximated fair value. Availability under the Credit Facilities is subject to certain limitations and the asset coverage restrictions under the 1940 Act. For further information on our Credit Facilities, including key terms and financial covenants, refer to Note 5-Borrowings to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 as well as Note 5-Borrowings to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.
 
As a BDC, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities, which include borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. As of March 31, 2017, our asset coverage ratio under BDC regulations was 244% when including unfunded commitments as a senior security. As of December 31, 2016, our asset coverage ratio under BDC regulations was 245% when including unfunded commitments as a senior security. As of March 31, 2017, considering these limitations, we had the ability to draw upon the entire $94.0 million of remaining capacity in the Credit Facilities.

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

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

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

 Contractual Obligations
 
As of March 31, 2017, we had $386.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facilities. Our EverBank Credit Facility will expire March 6, 2020, with two one-year extension options, subject to lender approval, and the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility will mature on June 16, 2020. See Note 5-Borrowings to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for a description of the Credit Facilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
At March 31, 2017, we had a total of approximately $44.1 million in outstanding commitments comprised of (i) 22 commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans that had not been funded and (ii) three capital commitments that had not been fully called. We recognized unrealized appreciation of approximately $245,000 on our outstanding unfunded loan commitments and no unrealized appreciation or depreciation on our outstanding unfunded capital commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We reasonably believe that we have sufficient assets to adequately cover and allow us to satisfy our outstanding unfunded commitments. At December 31, 2016, we had a total of approximately $42.7 million in outstanding commitments comprised of (i) 22 commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans that had not been funded and (ii) three capital commitments that had not been fully called. We recognized unrealized depreciation of approximately $266,000 on our outstanding unfunded loan commitments and unrealized appreciation of approximately $14,000 on our outstanding unfunded capital commitments during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Recent Developments and Subsequent Events
 
From April 1, 2017 through May 12, 2017, we raised approximately $11.9 million in the Offering. During this period, we funded approximately $89.8 million in investments and received proceeds from repayments and dispositions of approximately $61.0 million.

On April 4, 2017, we and ORIX Funds Corp. (“ORIX”) entered into a limited liability company agreement to co-manage HMS-ORIX SLF LLC (the “Joint Venture”). The Joint Venture, which is expected to invest primarily in broadly-syndicated loans, will not be treated as a consolidated subsidiary, but will be included as a control investment in our condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value. We and ORIX will have equal representation on the Joint Venture’s Board of Managers, which will be responsible for, among other things, approving all portfolio and investment decisions of the Joint Venture. We and ORIX have committed to provide an aggregate of $50.0 million of equity to the Joint Venture, with us providing $30.0 million and ORIX providing $20.0 million. On the same day, the Company and ORIX funded $15.0 million and $10.0 million of their equity commitments. We and ORIX will initially own 60% and 40% of the Joint Venture, respectively. Additionally, the Joint Venture has entered into a $100.0 million credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. that will help the Joint Venture achieve its investment objectives.

On April 24, 2017, we, our Adviser and our Sub-Adviser entered into a conditional income incentive fee agreement (the “First Quarter 2017 Fee Waiver Agreement”), pursuant to which, for a period from January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017, the Advisers could waive the “subordinated incentive fee on income,” as such term is defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event that, in the Advisers’ sole discretion, causes such waiver to be deemed necessary. The First Quarter 2017 Fee Waiver Agreement may require us to repay the Advisers for previously waived Expense Support Payments or waived base management fees or incentive fees under certain circumstances. The previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by us, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver.

On April 28, 2017, we filed a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the SEC, to commence an offer by us to purchase, as approved by our board of directors, 1,395,270.20 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The offer is for cash at a purchase price equal to the NAV per share to be determined within 48 hours of the repurchase date.

On May 1, 2017, the SEC declared effective Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to our Registration Statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-204659).

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We are subject to financial market risks, in particular changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect our interest income from portfolio investments, the fair value of our fixed income investments, and our cost of funding.
 
Our interest income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates, to the extent any of our debt investments include floating interest rates. We generally invest in floating rate debt instruments, meaning that the interest rate payable on such instrument resets periodically based upon changes in a specified interest rate index, typically the one-month or three-month LIBOR. As of March 31, 2017, approximately 83.4% of our LMM, Private Loan, and Middle Market portfolio debt investments (based on cost) contained floating interest rates. At March 31, 2017, the one-month LIBOR was approximately 0.98% and the three-month LIBOR was approximately 1.15%. However, many of our investments provide that the specified interest rate index on such instruments will never fall below a level, or floor, generally between 100 and 150 basis points regardless of the level of the specified index rate. Given that most floating rate debt investments have index floors at or above 100 basis points, a decline in index rates is not expected to result in a change to interest income.

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

Further, because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income is partially dependent upon the difference between the interest rate at which we invest borrowed funds and the interest rate at which we borrow funds. In periods of rising interest rates and when we have borrowed capital with floating interest rates, our interest expense will increase, which will increase our financing costs and reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed-rate debt investments. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
 
The following table shows the approximate annualized increase or decrease (dollars in thousands) in the components of net investment income due to hypothetical interest rate index changes, assuming no changes in our investments and borrowings as of March 31, 2017.

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

If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of March 31, 2017, we had not entered into any interest rate hedging arrangements.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.
 
In accordance with the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2017, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No change occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act), during the three months ended March 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
