Patriot Capital Funding, Inc. (NasdaqGS: PCAP) today announced
results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009.
2009 First Quarter Summary
- Total investment income of $8.5
million
- Net investment income of $5.1
million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share
- Net loss of $10.5 million, or
$0.50 per basic and diluted share
- Net asset value per share of
common stock at March 31, 2009 was $8.13, compared to $8.65 at
December 31, 2008
Portfolio Activity
During the 2009 first quarter, we received proceeds of $3.9
million in connection with the full repayment of our senior
subordinated debt investment in a distributor of automotive oils,
chemicals and parts. We earned an internal rate of return of
approximately 15.8% on this investment. No realized gain or loss
was recorded as a result of this paydown.
We also determined that certain loans with one of our portfolio
companies were permanently impaired and recorded a realized loss of
approximately $11.6 million during the 2009 first quarter. In
connection with our recognition of this realized loss, we reversed
approximately $11.6 million of previously recorded unrealized
depreciation on these loans during the quarter ended March 31,
2009.
We did not initiate any investments or participate in any
syndicated loan transactions during the 2009 first quarter.
Portfolio Yield
The weighted average yield on all of our debt investments at
fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was 10.9%,
down from 12.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Portfolio Asset Quality
We utilize the following investment rating system for our entire
portfolio of debt investments:
Investment Rating 1 �
Investments that exceed expectations and/or a capital gain is
expected.
Investment Rating 2 �
Investments that are generally performing in accordance with
expectations.
Investment Rating 3 �
Investments that require closer monitoring.
Investment Rating 4 �
Investments performing below expectations where a higher risk of
loss exists.
Investment Rating 5 �
Investments performing significantly below expectations where we
expect a loss.
At March 31, 2009, the distribution of our debt investments on
the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value was as
follows:
Investment Rating 1
investments totaled $97.3 million (33.7% of the total
portfolio).
Investment Rating 2
investments totaled $145.0 million (50.3% of the total
portfolio).
Investment Rating 3
investments totaled $31.2 million (10.8% of the total
portfolio).
Investment Rating 4
investments totaled $9.4 million (3.3% of the total portfolio).
Investment Rating 5
investments totaled $5.5 million (1.9% of the total portfolio).
At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had loans from four
and three, respectively, of our portfolio companies on non-accrual
status.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14.2
million, total assets of $332.8 million and net assets of $170.2
million. We had $157.6 million of borrowings outstanding at March
31, 2009 under our second amended and restated securitization
revolving credit facility (the �Facility�). We are not currently in
compliance with the terms of the Facility. As disclosed in a Form
8-K we filed with the SEC on April 7, 2009, a termination event
occurred under the Facility. As a result, we can no longer request
additional advances under the Facility and must use all principal,
interest and fees collected from the debt investments secured by
the Facility to pay down amounts outstanding under the Facility by
April 3, 2011. Substantially all of our debt investments are
secured under the Facility. Also, the interest rate payable under
the Facility increased from the commercial paper rate plus 1.75% to
the prime rate plus 2%. In addition, the Facility�permits the
lenders, upon notice to us, to accelerate amounts outstanding under
the Facility and exercise other rights and remedies provided by the
Facility, including the right to sell the collateral under the
Facility. Although we have not received any such notice from the
lenders as of the date hereof, these matters raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We are in�discussions with the lenders to seek relief from
certain of the terms of the Facility, including the requirement
under the Facility that we use all principal, interest and fees
collected from the debt investments secured by the facility to pay
down amounts outstanding under the Facility by April 3, 2011.
However, we cannot provide any assurance that the lenders will
agree to provide us any relief from any terms of the Facility. As a
result, we are also currently evaluating other financing and/or
strategic alternatives, including possible debt or equity
financing, acquisition or disposition of assets, and other
strategic transactions.
