Weighted average yield of debt investments (1):

PIK 1.3 % 1.4 %
Fee amortization 1.3 % 2.6 %
Total 14.5 % 15.3 %
(1) The dollar-weighted average annualized effective yield is computed using the effective interest rates for our debt investments and other income producing investments, including cash and PIK interest as well as the accretion of deferred fees. The individual investment yields are then weighted by the respective fair values of the investments (as of the date presented) in calculating the weighted average effective yield of the portfolio. The dollar-weighted average annualized yield on the Company's investments for a given period will generally be higher than what investors in our common stock would realize in a return over the same period because the dollar-weighted average annualized yield does not reflect the Company's expenses or any sales load that may be paid by investors. Infinite Care, LLC was excluded from the calculation as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 because it was on non-accrual status on that date. The weighted average effective yield of our debt and other income-producing investments, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, was approximately 14.5% and 15.3%, respectively. The weighted average effective yield on the entire portfolio as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was 12.8% and 13.7%, respectively.

SECOND QUARTER AND YEAR TO DATE 2018 OPERATING RESULTS

For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported net income of $0.8 million, an increase of $2.7 million from $(1.9) million of net loss in the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Per share earnings (loss) were $0.13 and $(0.29) per share for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported a $0.9 million decrease in net investment income and core net investment income, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Net investment income and core net investment income were $1.6 million, or $0.25 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to $2.5 million, or $0.39 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

The $2.7 million improvement in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, was primarily attributable to a $3.6 million positive change in net unrealized depreciation (which is net of $0.5 million of deferred taxes), decrease in interest expense of $0.2 million and a decrease in professional fees of $0.1 million, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in investment income, $0.2 million increase in management and administrative fees and a $0.1 million decrease in net realized gains, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Net investment income and core net investment income decreased in the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, primarily as a result of lower investment income offset by lower operating expenses. Investment income was lower as a result of a smaller investment portfolio and slightly lower weighted average effective yield for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

As of June 30, 2018, our total portfolio investments at fair value and total assets were $120.6 million and $133.6 million, respectively, compared to $115.6 million and $128.2 million at December 31, 2017. Net asset value per share was $12.52 at June 30, 2018, compared to $12.66 at December 31, 2017.

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company made investments in three companies totaling $4.9 million. One of the investments was in a new portfolio company and two were additional investments in existing portfolio companies. The Company also had investment sales, payoffs and commitment expirations totaling $2.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The investment activity for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was as follows:

NEW AND INCREMENTAL INVESTMENTS

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company increased its debt investment in Infinite Care, LLC by $0.7 million through two over-advances on its revolver commitment. The revolver carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 12.0%. Infinite Care was on non-accrual status, however, as of June 30, 2018.

On June 29, 2018, the Company made a $4.0 million senior secured debt investment and a $0.2 million equity investment in National Program Management & Project Controls, LLC. The debt investment consists of a $3.6 million term loan and a $0.4 million revolver. The loans carry an interest rate of 1 month LIBOR plus 10.0% with a 1.95% LIBOR floor.

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company increased its equity investment in King Engineering Associates, Inc., with a $0.1 million pro-rata increase through two add-on fundings to purchase Class A common stock.

INVESTMENT SALES AND PAYOFFS

On May 23, 2018, the Company received a full repayment, at par, on its senior secured debt investment in Bridgewater Engine Ownership III, LLC. The original par value of the debt investment was $1.4 million. The Company generated an internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 11.6% on its investment. IRR is the rate of return that makes the net present value of all cash flows into or from the investment equal to zero, and is calculated based on the amount of each cash flow received or invested by the Company and the day it was received or invested.

"Our second quarter results continue to reflect our reduced capital deployment as well as stable, but below our historical, credit quality," said Joseph A. Jolson, Chairman and CEO. "We are increasingly optimistic that both these issues could improve over the next few quarters. We currently have three mandated deals totaling $17.1 million that could close in the next few months, though we do expect an increase in payoffs. We have also implemented specific resolution plans on each of our 3, 4 and 5 rated credits and hope to show improved credit metrics in the next six months," concluded Mr. Jolson.

CREDIT QUALITY

The Company employs various risk management and monitoring tools to categorize and assess its investments. No less frequently than quarterly, the Company applies an investment risk rating system which uses a five-level numeric scale. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:

  • Investment Rating 1 is used for investments that are performing above expectations, and whose risks remain favorable compared to the expected risk at the time of the original investment.
  • Investment Rating 2 is used for investments that are performing within expectations and whose risks remain neutral compared to the expected risk at the time of the original investment. All new loans are initially rated 2.
  • Investment Rating 3 is used for investments that are performing below expectations and that require closer monitoring, but where no loss of return or principal is expected. Portfolio companies with a rating of 3 may be out of compliance with financial covenants.
  • Investment Rating 4 is used for investments that are performing substantially below expectations and whose risks have increased substantially since the original investment. These investments are often in workout. Investments with a rating of 4 are those for which there is an increased possibility of some loss of return but no loss of principal is expected.
  • Investment Rating 5 is used for investments that are performing substantially below expectations and whose risks have increased substantially since the original investment. These investments are almost always in workout. Investments with a rating of 5 are those for which some loss of return and principal is expected.

As of June 30, 2018, the weighted average risk rating of the debt investments in the Company's portfolio remained stable at 2.24 from the previous quarter. Also, as of June 30, 2018, eight of the Company’s twenty-three debt investments were rated 1, ten investments were rated 2, three investments were rated 3, one investment was rated 4, and one investment was rated 5. As of June 30, 2018, one investment was on non-accrual status.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $11.8 million of cash and restricted cash and $11.3 million of undrawn capacity on its $55.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The credit facility is secured by all of the Company’s assets and has an accordion feature that allows the size of the facility to increase up to $85.0 million.

Additionally, the Company held three syndicated loans totaling $8.3 million at fair value as of June 30, 2018. These investments could be sold and the proceeds re-invested in our core lower-middle market strategy, as attractive opportunities arise. Subsequent to June 30, 2018, we received a full repayment on one of our syndicated loans in Sitel Worldwide Corporation totaling $1.8 million.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS SUBSEQUENT TO JUNE 30, 2018

On July 31, 2018, the Company received a full repayment at par value plus a 1.0% prepayment fee on its junior secured term loan in Sitel Worldwide Corporation. The Company generated an IRR of 11.7% on its investment.

On August 1, 2018, the Company declared monthly distributions of $0.095 per share payable on each August 30, 2018, September 27, 2018 and October 25, 2018.

On August 2, 2018, the Company received a full repayment at par value for its senior secured term loan in AMS Flight Leasing and its senior secured term loan in IAG Engine Center, LLC. The Company generated an IRR of 15.0% on its investment in AMS Flight Leasing and an IRR of 15.7% on its investment in IAG Engine Center, LLC. The Company also received its final distribution on its revenue linked security investment in IAG Engine Center, LLC. The Company generated an IRR of 48.9% on its investment and had entered into an agreement with Flight Lease XX, Inc. regarding potential future payout of proceeds, from the sale of an asset, to the extent sales proceeds exceed $0.6 million, where the Company would receive 50% of any excess over $0.6 million with a $0.3 million cap.

On August 7, 2018, the Company made a $2.5 million junior secured debt investment in Water-Land Manufacturing & Supply, LLC. The term loan carries an interest rate of 3 month LIBOR + 10.5% with a 2.25% LIBOR floor.
