Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income in the current period.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Loans on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected.

PIK interest, which is computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan, rather than being paid to the Company in cash, and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of PIK interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income, is included in the Company’s taxable income and therefore affects the amount the Company is required to distribute to stockholders to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. Generally, when current cash interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the investment on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing PIK interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company writes off any accrued and uncollected PIK interest when it is determined that the PIK interest is no longer collectible.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Other Income</i></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i> </i></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">From time to time, the Company may receive fees for services provided to portfolio companies.

The services provided vary by investment, but can include closing work, diligence or other similar fees and fees for providing managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies.

Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Loans on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Payment-in-Kind (“PIK”) Interest</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company currently holds, and expects to hold in the future, certain investments in its portfolio that contain PIK interest provisions. PIK interest, which is computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan, rather than being paid to the Company in cash, and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of PIK interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income, is included in the Company’s taxable income and therefore affects the amount the Company is required to distribute to stockholders to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. Generally, when current cash interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the investment on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing PIK interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company writes off any accrued and uncollected PIK interest when it is determined that the PIK interest is no longer collectible.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Other Income</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">From time to time, the Company may receive fees for services provided to portfolio companies. These fees will generally only be available to the Company as a result of closing investments, will normally be paid at the closing of the investment, are expected to be non-recurring and will be recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services provided vary by investment, but can include closing work, diligence or other similar fees and fees for providing managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies. In addition, the Company may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees and possibly consulting and performance-based fees.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Deal Origination Costs</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company records origination and other expenses related to its investments as deferred financing costs. These expenses are deferred and amortized over the life of the related investment. Deal origination costs are presented on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a direct deduction from the investment. In circumstances in which there is not an associated investment amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements when the deal origination costs are incurred, such deal origination costs are reported on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability until the investment is recorded.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Distributions to Stockholders</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Distributions to stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be distributed is determined by the Board of Directors and is generally based upon current and estimated net earnings. Net realized long-term capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (the “Distribution Reinvestment Plan” or “DRP”), pursuant to which it reinvests all cash dividends declared by the Board of Directors on behalf of its stockholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash. For more information on the Distribution Reinvestment Plan, see “Note 7. Net Assets – Distribution Reinvestment Plan” in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Identification of Non-Accrual Investments</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company places a debt or preferred equity investment on non-accrual status when it is determined that the collection of interest is not probable or when the investment is 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest, unless the investment is both well secured and in the process of collection. In addition, the Company may place an investment on non-accrual status earlier if, in the judgment of management and the Board of Directors, the investment has experienced credit deterioration such that the full collection of contractual principal or interest is no longer probable.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">When a debt investment is placed on non-accrual status:</p><table cellpadding="0" style="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 24px"> </td> <td style="width: 24px"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">●</span></td> <td><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current period interest income;</span></td></tr> </table><table cellpadding="0" style="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 24px"> </td> <td style="width: 24px"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">●</span></td> <td><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">the Company ceases to accrue interest income on the investment;</span></td></tr> </table><table cellpadding="0" style="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 24px"> </td> <td style="width: 24px"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">●</span></td> <td style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">cash interest payments received, if any, are applied as a reduction of the investment’s amortized cost basis unless management believes collection of principal is probable, in which case cash received may be recognized as interest income on a cash basis; and</span></td></tr> </table><table cellpadding="0" style="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 24px"> </td> <td style="width: 24px"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">●</span></td> <td><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">original issue discount (“OID”) and PIK interest are no longer accrued.</span></td></tr> </table><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">An investment is restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are brought current and, in management’s judgment, future principal and interest payments are reasonably assured.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Investments on non-accrual status continue to be valued at fair value in accordance with the Company’s valuation policy.

The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes, which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction.
