Note 1. Organization
Horizon Technology
Finance Corporation (the “Company”) was organized as a Delaware corporation on March 16, 2010 and is an externally
managed, non-diversified, closed end investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company
(“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes,
the Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) as defined in Subtitle A, Chapter 1,
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a RIC, the Company is not subject
to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and capital gains the Company distributes to the stockholders. The Company
primarily makes secured loans to development-stage companies in the technology, life science, healthcare information and services
and cleantech industries.
On October 28,
2010 the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and its common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select
Market under the symbol “HRZN”. The Company was formed to continue and expand the business of Compass Horizon Funding
Company LLC (“CHF”), a Delaware limited liability company, which commenced operations in March 2008 and became
the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary with the completion of the IPO.
Horizon Credit I LLC
(“Credit I”) was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on January 23, 2008, with CHF as the sole equity
member. Credit I is a special purpose bankruptcy remote entity and is reported herein as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Credit I is a separate legal entity from the Company and CHF and the assets conveyed to Credit I are not available to creditors
of the Company or any other entity other than Credit I’s lenders.
Horizon Credit II
LLC (“Credit II”) was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on June 28, 2011, with the Company as the sole
equity member. Credit II is a special purpose bankruptcy remote entity and is a separate legal entity from the Company. Any assets
conveyed to Credit II are not available to creditors of the Company or any other entity other than Credit II’s lenders.
Horizon Credit III
LLC (“Credit III”) was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on May 30, 2012, with the Company as the sole
equity member. There has been no activity in Credit III since its inception.
Longview SBIC GP LLC
and Longview SBIC LP (collectively, “Horizon SBIC”) were formed as a Delaware limited liability company and Delaware
limited partnership, respectively, on February 11, 2011. Horizon SBIC are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and were formed
in anticipation of obtaining a license to operate a small business investment company from the U. S. Small Business Administration.
There has been no activity in Horizon SBIC since their inception.
The Company’s
investment strategy is to maximize the investment portfolio’s return by generating current income from the loans made and
the capital appreciation from the warrants received when making such loans. The Company has entered into an investment management
agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with Horizon Technology Finance Management LLC (“HTFM”
or the “Advisor”), under which the Advisor will manage the day-to-day operations of, and provide investment advisory
services to, the Company.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting
Policies
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidated financial
statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management,
the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for the fair presentation
of financial results as of and for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
As permitted under
Regulation S-X and the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, the Company will generally not consolidate
its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists
of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of the Company’s subsidiaries in
its consolidated financial statements.
Horizon Technology Finance Corporation
and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except shares and per
share data)
Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated
financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the balance sheet and
income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the valuation of investments.
Fair Value
The Company applies
fair value to substantially all of its investments in accordance with relevant GAAP, which establishes a framework used to measure
fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. The Company has categorized its investments carried at fair value,
based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as more fully described in Note 5. Fair
value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather
than an entity specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions
are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement
date.
The availability of
observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example,
the type of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market
and the current market conditions. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable
in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company
in determining fair value is greatest for financial instruments classified as Level 3.
In May 2011, the FASB
issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements
in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 converges the fair value measurement
guidance in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements,
while other amendments change a particular principle in existing guidance. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value
disclosures. The Company has adopted ASU 2011-04 and included the additional required disclosures in Note 5.
See Note 5 for additional
information regarding fair value.
Segments
The Company has determined
that it has a single reporting segment and operating unit structure. The Company lends to and invests in portfolio companies in
various technology, life science, healthcare information and services and cleantech industries. The Company separately evaluates
the performance of each of its lending and investment relationships. However, because each of these loan and investment relationships
has similar business and economic characteristics, they have been aggregated into a single lending and investment segment.
Investments
Investments are recorded
at fair value. The Company’s board of directors (“Board”) determines the fair value of its portfolio investments.
The Company has the intent to hold its loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff.
Interest on debt investments
is accrued and included in income based on contractual rates applied to principal amounts outstanding. Interest income is determined
using a method that results in a level rate of return on principal amounts outstanding. When a loan becomes 90 days or more
past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect to receive interest and principal repayments, the loan is placed on non-accrual
status and the recognition of interest income is discontinued. Interest payments received on loans that are on non-accrual status
are treated as reductions of principal until the principal is repaid. There were no loans on non-accrual status as of June 30,
2012 and December 31, 2011.
The Company receives
a variety of fees from borrowers in the ordinary course of conducting its business, including advisory fees, commitment fees, amendment
fees, non-utilization fees and prepayment fees (collectively, the “Fees”). In a limited number of cases, the Company
may also receive a non-refundable deposit earned upon the termination of a transaction. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct
origination costs, are deferred and, along with unearned income, are amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective
term of the loan. Fees for counterparty loan commitments with multiple loans are allocated to each loan based upon each loan’s
relative fair value. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the amortization of the related fees and unearned income is discontinued
until the loan is returned to accrual status.
Horizon Technology Finance Corporation
and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except shares and per
share data)
Certain loan agreements
also require the borrower to make an end-of-term payment that is accrued into income over the life of the loan to the extent such
amounts are expected to be collected. The Company will generally cease accruing the income if there is insufficient value to support
the accrual or the Company does not expect the borrower to be able to pay all principal and interest due.
In connection with
substantially all lending arrangements, the Company receives warrants to purchase shares of stock from the borrower. The warrants
are recorded as assets at estimated fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The warrants are considered
loan fees and are also recorded as unearned loan income on the grant date. The unearned income is recognized as interest income
over the contractual life of the related loan in accordance with the Company’s income recognition policy. Subsequent to loan
origination, the warrants are also measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Any adjustment to fair value
is recorded through earnings as net unrealized gain or loss on investments. Gains from the disposition of the warrants or stock
acquired from the exercise of warrants are recognized as realized gains on investments.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs
are fees and other direct incremental costs incurred by the Company in obtaining debt financing from its lenders and issuing debt
securities. Debt issuance costs are recognized as assets and amortized as interest expense over the term of the related borrowings.
The unamortized balance of debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, included in other assets, was $2.3
million and $1.1 million, respectively. The accumulated amortization balances as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $0.2
and $0.1 million, respectively. The amortization expense for both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 relating to debt
issuance costs was $0.2 million.
Income Taxes
The Company elected
to be treated as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable
to RICs. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification
requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code,
for each year. The Company, among other things, has made and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders,
which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal income taxes.
Depending on the level
of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend
distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines
that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions, the Company
accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2012 and 2011, no amount was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax.
The Company evaluates
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,
or uncertain tax positions, 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 in income tax expense. There were no material uncertain tax positions
at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The 2011, 2010 and 2009 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and
state tax authorities.
Dividends
Dividends and distributions
to common stockholders are recorded on the declaration date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board.
Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains
for investment.
The Company has adopted
a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of cash distributions and other distributions on behalf of its stockholders,
unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend, then
stockholders who have not “opted out” of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically
reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividend. The Company may use
newly issued shares to implement the plan (especially if the Company’s shares are trading at a premium to net asset value),
or the Company may purchase shares in the open market in connection with the obligations under the plan.

(In thousands, except shares and per

Interest Rate Swaps and Hedging Activities
The Company entered
into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk. The Company does not hold or issue interest rate swap agreements
or other derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
The interest rate
swaps are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments
during the reporting period. The Company records the accrual of periodic interest settlements of interest rate swap agreements
in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and subsequently records the amount as a net realized gain or loss
on investments on the interest settlement date. Cash payments received or paid for the termination of an interest rate swap agreement
would be recorded as a realized gain or loss upon termination in the consolidated statements of operations.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial
assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed
to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company — put presumptively beyond the reach of the
transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions
that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the transferor
does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through either (a) an agreement that both entitles and obligates
the transferor to repurchase or redeem the assets before maturity or (b) the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return
specific assets, other than through a cleanup call.
Note 3. Related Party Transactions
Investment Management Agreement
On October 28,
2010, the Company entered into the Investment Management Agreement with the Advisor, under which the Advisor manages the day-to-day
operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement,
the Advisor determines the composition of the Company’s investment portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to the
investment portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes; identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments
the Company makes (including performing due diligence on the Company’s prospective portfolio companies); and closes, monitors
and administers the investments the Company makes, including the exercise of any voting or consent rights.
The Advisor’s
services under the Investment Management Agreement are not exclusive to the Company, and the Advisor is free to furnish similar
services to other entities so long as its services to the Company are not impaired. The Advisor is a registered investment advisor
with the SEC. The Advisor receives fees for providing services, consisting of two components, a base management fee and an incentive
fee.
The base management
fee under the Investment Management Agreement is calculated at an annual rate of 2.00% of the Company’s gross assets, payable
monthly in arrears. For purposes of calculating the base management fee, the term “gross assets” includes any assets
acquired with the proceeds of leverage. The accrued management fee as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $0.4 million
and $0.3 million, respectively. The base management fee expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1.0 million
and $1.1 million, respectively. The base management fee expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $2.0 million
and $2.1 million, respectively.
The incentive fee
has two parts, as follows:
The first
part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the
immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend
income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment,
origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees received from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar
quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the administration
agreement (as defined below), and any interest expense and any dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but
excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest
feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income
that we have not yet received in cash. The incentive fee with respect to the pre-incentive fee net investment income is 20.00%
of the amount, if any, by which the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds
a 1.75% (which is 7.00% annualized) hurdle rate and a “catch-up” provision measured as of the end of each calendar
quarter. Under this provision, in any calendar quarter, the Advisor receives no incentive fee until the net investment income equals
the hurdle rate of 1.75%, but then receives, as a “catch-up,” 100.00% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income
with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less
than 2.1875%. The effect of this provision is that, if pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar
quarter, the Advisor will receive 20.00% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply.
Horizon Technology Finance Corporation
and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except shares and per
share data)
Pre-incentive
fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation
or depreciation. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that the Company may pay an incentive fee in a quarter
in which the Company incurs a loss. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the
quarterly minimum hurdle rate, the Company will pay the applicable incentive fee even if the Company has incurred a loss in that
quarter due to realized and unrealized capital losses. The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of
the incentive fee is also included in the amount of the Company’s gross assets used to calculate the 2.00% base management
fee. These calculations are appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances
or repurchases during the current quarter.
The second
part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the
Investment Management Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 20.00% of the Company’s aggregate realized capital
gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from the date of the election to be a BDC through the end of each calendar year, computed
net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation through the end of such year, less all previous amounts
paid in respect of the capital gain incentive fee.
The total performance
based incentive fee expense was approximately $0.4 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011,
respectively. The total performance based incentive fee expense was approximately $1.3 million and $2.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The incentive fee payable as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $0.4 million
and $1.8 million, respectively. The incentive payable as of June 30, 2012 includes $0.4 million for part one and no accrual for
part two of the incentive fee. The incentive fee payable as of December 31, 2011 includes $1.4 million for part one and $0.4 million
for part two of the incentive fee.
Administration Agreement
The Company entered
into an Administration Agreement with the Advisor to provide administrative services to the Company. For providing these services,
facilities and personnel, the Company will reimburse the Advisor for the Company’s allocable portion of overhead and other
expenses incurred by the Advisor in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and
expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company’s allocable portion of the costs of compensation
and related expenses of the Company’s chief compliance officer and chief financial officer and their respective staffs. For
both the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, $0.2 million was charged to operations under the Administration Agreement.
For both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, $0.5 million was charged to operations under the Administration Agreement.

Note 5. Fair Value
The Company uses fair
value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in certain
instances, there are no quoted market prices for certain assets or liabilities. In cases where quoted market prices are not available,
fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected
by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates
may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the asset or liability.
Fair value measurements
focus on exit prices in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants
at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity
for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In
such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current
market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment.
The Company’s
fair value measurements are classified into a fair value hierarchy based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are
traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The three categories within the hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 2
|
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 3
|
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except shares and per
share data)
Investments are valued
at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, based on input of management, the audit committee and independent valuation
firms that have been engaged at the direction of the Board to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily
available market quotation at least once during a trailing twelve-month period under a valuation policy and a consistently applied
valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with approximately 25% (based on fair
value) of the Company’s valuation of portfolio companies without readily available market quotations subject to review by
an independent valuation firm.
Cash and interest receivable:
The
carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. These financial instruments are not recorded at fair value on a recurring
basis and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy described above.
Money Market Funds:
The carrying amounts are valued at their net asset value as of the close of business on the day of valuation. These financial
instruments are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described
above as these funds can be redeemed daily.
Debt Investments:
For variable rate debt investments which re-price frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, carrying values
are a reasonable estimate of fair values. The fair value of fixed rate debt investments is estimated by discounting the expected
future cash flows using the year end rates at which similar debt investments would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings
and for the same remaining maturities. At both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the discount rates used ranged from 8% to 25%.
Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
These assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy
described above.
Under certain circumstances
the Company may use an alternative technique to value debt investments that better reflects its fair value, such as the use of
multiple probability weighted cash flow models when the expected future cash flows contain elements of variability.
Warrant Investments
:
The Company values its warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model incorporating the following material assumptions:
|
•
|
Underlying asset value of the issuer is estimated based on information available, including any
information regarding the most recent rounds of borrower funding. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input
would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
|
|
•
|
Volatility, or the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of the changes in the warrant price,
is based on guideline publicly traded companies within indices similar in nature to the underlying company issuing the warrant.
A total of seven such indices were used. The weighted average volatility assumptions used for the warrant valuation at June 30,
2012 and December 31, 2011 was 24%. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input would result in a significantly
higher (lower) fair value measurement.
|
|
•
|
The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The risk-free interest
rates are calculated based on a weighted average of the risk-free interest rates that correspond closest to the expected remaining
life of the warrant. The risk free rates used for the warrant valuations at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 ranged from 0.21%
to 0.72%, and from 0.12% to 0.83%, respectively.
|
|
•
|
Other adjustments, including a marketability discount on private company warrants, are estimated
based on management’s judgment about the general industry environment. The marketability discount used for the warrant valuations
at both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was 20%. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input would result
in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
|
Under certain circumstances
the Company may use an alternative technique to value warrants that better reflects the warrants fair value, such as an expected
settlement of a warrant in the near term or a model that incorporates a put feature associated with the warrant. The fair value
may be determined based on the expected proceeds to be received from such settlement or based on the net present value of the expected
proceeds from the put option.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except shares and per
share data)
The fair value of
the Company’s warrants held in publicly traded companies is determined based on inputs that are readily available in public
markets or can be derived from information available in public markets. Therefore, the Company has categorized these warrants as
Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described above. The fair value of the Company’s warrants held in private companies
is determined using both observable and unobservable inputs and represents management’s best estimate of what market participants
would use in pricing the warrants at the measurement date. Therefore, the Company has categorized these warrants as Level 3 within
the fair value hierarchy described above. These assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Equity Investments
:
The fair value of an equity investment in a privately held company is initially the face value of the amount invested. The Company
adjusts the fair value of equity investments in private companies upon the completion of a new third-party round of equity financing.
The Company may make adjustments to fair value, absent a new equity financing event, based upon positive or negative changes in
a portfolio company’s financial or operational performance. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input
would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The Company has categorized these equity investments as
Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy described above. The fair value of an equity investment in a publicly traded company is
based upon the closing public share price on the date of measurement. Therefore, the Company has categorized these equity investments
as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy described above. These assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Other Investments:
Other investments will be valued based on the facts and circumstances of the underlying agreement. The Company currently values
one contractual agreement using a multiple probability weighted cash flow model as the contractual future cash flows contain elements
of variability. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input would result in a significantly higher (lower)
fair value measurement. The Company has categorized this other investment as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy described
above. These assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Borrowings:
The carrying amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facilities approximate fair value due to the short duration and variable
interest rate of these credit facilities and are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described above. Additionally,
the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of such borrowings. The fair value of our fixed rate Senior
Notes (See Note 6 below) is based on the closing public share price on the date of measurement and approximates the carrying value
as of June 30, 2012. Therefore, the Company has categorized this borrowing as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy described
above. These liabilities are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Off-Balance-Sheet
Instruments:
Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standings. Therefore,
the Company has categorized these instruments as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy described above. Off-balance-sheet instruments
are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
The following tables
detail the assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value and measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30,
2012 and December 31, 2011, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine

The Company’s
transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period. During the three months ended June 30, 2012,
there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. The transfer out of Level 3 relates to warrants held in one portfolio
company, with a value of $0.2 million, that were transferred into Level 2 due to the portfolio company becoming a public company
during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Because the fair value of the portfolio company warrants held are determined based
on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in public markets, the Company
has categorized the warrants as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described above as of June 30, 2012.

The Company’s
transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, there
were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. The transfer out of Level 3 relates to warrants held in two portfolio companies,
with a value of $0.3 million, that were transferred into Level 2 due to the portfolio companies becoming public companies during
the six months ended June 30, 2012. Because the fair value of the portfolio company warrants held are determined based on inputs
that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in public markets, the Company has categorized
the warrants as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described above as of June 30, 2012.

unrealized appreciation (depreciation) included in the consolidated statement of operations attributable to Level 3 investments
still held at June 30, 2012 includes $1.2 million depreciation on loans and $0.1 million appreciation on warrants.
The Company discloses
fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities, for which
it is practicable to estimate that value. Certain financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly,
the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
The fair value amounts
have been measured as of the reporting date, and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements
subsequent to that date. As such, the fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the reporting date may be different
than amounts reported.
As of June 30, 2012
and December 31, 2011, the recorded book balances approximated fair value for all of the Company’s financial instruments
that are not recognized at fair value.

Off-balance sheet instruments
The Company assumes
interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result,
the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be
either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent
believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts
to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s
overall interest rate risk.
Note 6. Borrowings
In accordance with
the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, the Company is only allowed to borrow amounts such that the asset coverage, as defined
in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowings. As of June 30, 2012, the asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 256%.
The Company entered
into a revolving credit facility (the “WestLB Facility”) with WestLB, AG, New York Branch (“WestLB”) effective
March 4, 2008. The WestLB Facility had a three year initial revolving term and on March 3, 2011, the revolving term ended.
The outstanding principal balance of the WestLB Facility is amortizing based on loan investment payments received through March 3,
2015. The interest rate is based upon the one-month LIBOR (0.25% as of June 30, 2012 and 0.30% as of December 31, 2011) plus a
spread of 2.50%. The rates at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were 2.75% and 2.80%, respectively. The average rates for
the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 2.77%, and 2.71%, respectively. The average rate for both the six months ended
June 30, 2012 and 2011 was 2.79%.
The WestLB Facility
is collateralized by all loans and warrants held by Credit I and permits an advance rate of up to 75% of eligible loans held by
Credit I. The WestLB Facility contains covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth
and to restrict the loans securing the WestLB Facility to certain criteria for qualified loans, and includes portfolio company
concentration limits as defined in the related loan agreement. The average amounts of borrowings were approximately $21.3 million
and $82.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The average amounts of borrowings were approximately
$30.6 million and $82.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At June 30, 2012 and December 31,
2011, the Company had actual borrowings outstanding of approximately $14.5 million and $46.7 million, respectively, on the WestLB
Facility.
The Company entered
into a revolving credit facility (the “Wells Facility”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells”)
effective July 14, 2011. The Wells Facility has an accordion feature which allows for an increase in the total loan commitment
to $150 million from the current $75 million commitment provided by Wells. The Wells Facility has a three year revolving term followed
by a three year amortization period and matures on July 14, 2017. The interest rate is based upon the one-month LIBOR plus a spread
of 4.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The rate at June 30, 2012 was 5.00%, and the average rate for both the three and six months
ended June 30, 2012 was 5.00%.
The Wells Facility
is collateralized by all loans and warrants held by Credit II and permits an advance rate of up to 50% of eligible loans held by
Credit II. The Wells Facility contains covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth
and to restrict the loans securing the Wells Facility to certain criteria for qualified loans and includes portfolio company concentration
limits as defined in the related loan agreement. The average amount of borrowings were approximately $10.6 million and $15.1 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had borrowings
outstanding of approximately $32.9 million and $17.8 million on the Wells Facility.
On March 23, 2012,
the Company issued and sold an aggregate principal amount of $30 million of 7.375% senior unsecured notes due in 2019 and on April
18, 2012, pursuant to the underwriters’ 30 day option to purchase additional notes, the Company sold an additional $3 million
of such notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on March 15, 2019 and may be redeemed
in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time or from time to time on or after March 15, 2015 at a redemption price
of $25 per security plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.375% per year payable quarterly
on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2012. The Senior Notes are the Company’s
direct unsecured obligations and rank (i) pari passu with the Company’s future senior unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior
to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that expressly provides it is subordinated to the Senior Notes; (iii) effectively
subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness that is initially unsecured
to which we subsequently grant security) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including without
limitation, borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facilities and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future
indebtedness and other obligations of any of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Senior Notes are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol “HTF.”

Note 7. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
In the normal course
of business, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its borrowers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess
of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company attempts to limit its credit risk
by conducting extensive due diligence and obtaining collateral where appropriate.
The balance of unfunded
commitments to extend credit was approximately $39.3 million and $22.5 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011,
respectively. Commitments to extend credit consist principally of the unused portions of commitments that obligate the Company
to extend credit, such as revolving credit arrangements or similar transactions. Commitments may also include a financial or non-financial
milestone that has to be achieved before the commitment can be drawn. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses. Since commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent
future cash requirements.
Note 8. Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s
loan portfolio consists primarily of loans to development-stage companies at various stages of development in the technology, life
science, healthcare information and services and cleantech industries. Many of these companies may have relatively limited operating
histories and also may experience variation in operating results. Many of these companies conduct business in regulated industries
and could be affected by changes in government regulations. Most of the Company’s borrowers will need additional capital
to satisfy their continuing working capital needs and other requirements and, in many instances, to service the interest and principal
payments on the loans.
The largest loans
may vary from year to year as new loans are recorded and repaid. The Company’s five largest loans represented approximately
27% and 28% of total loans outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. No single loan represents
more than 10% of the total loans as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Loan income, consisting of interest and fees,
can fluctuate significantly upon repayment of large loans. Interest income from the five largest loans accounted for approximately
32% and 26% of total loan interest and fee income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Interest
income from the five largest loans accounted for approximately 31% and 24% of total loan interest and fee income for the six months
ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
Note 9: Interest Rate Swaps and Hedging Activities
On October 14,
2008, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (collectively, the “Swap”) with WestLB, fixing the
rate of $10 million at 3.58% and $15 million at 3.20% on the first advances of a like amount of variable rate WestLB
Facility borrowings. The $15 million interest rate swap expired in October 2010 and the $10 million interest rate
swap expired in October 2011. The objective of the Swap was to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows associated with the
future interest payments on the first $25 million of the variable rate WestLB Facility debt with a combined notional amount
of $25 million.
During the six months
ended June 30, 2011, approximately $159 of net unrealized appreciation, and approximately $169 of net realized losses, from the
Swap were recorded in the statement of operations.
Note 10: Dividends and Distributions

Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In this section,
except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “Horizon
Technology Finance” refer to Horizon Technology Finance Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. The information contained
in this section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere
in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q . Amounts are stated in thousands, except shares and per share data and where otherwise noted.
Overview
We are a specialty
finance company that lends to and invests in development-stage companies in the technology, life science, healthcare information
and services and cleantech industries, which we refer to as our “Target Industries.” Our investment objective is to
generate current income from the loans we make and capital appreciation from the warrants we receive when making such loans. We
make secured loans, which we refer to as “Venture Loans,” to companies backed by established venture capital and private
equity firms in our Target Industries, which we refer to as “Venture Lending.” We also selectively lend to publicly
traded companies in our Target Industries.
We are an externally
managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.
As a BDC, we are required to comply with regulatory requirements, including limitations on our use of debt. We are permitted to,
and expect to, finance our investments through borrowings. However, as a BDC, we are only generally allowed to borrow amounts such
that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such borrowing. The amount of leverage that we
employ depends on our assessment of market conditions and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.
Compass Horizon Funding
Company LLC (“Compass Horizon”) our predecessor company, commenced operations in March 2008. We were formed in
March 2010 for the purpose of acquiring Compass Horizon and continuing its business as a public entity.

in our loan portfolio based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we receive repayments of some of
our loans prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments may fluctuate significantly from
period to period.

The largest loans
may vary from year to year as new loans are recorded and repaid. Our five largest loans represented approximately 27% and 28% of
total loans outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. No single loan represented more than 10%
of our total loans as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Loan Portfolio Asset Quality
We use a credit rating
system which rates each loan on a scale of 4 to 1, with 4 being the highest credit quality rating and 3 being the rating for a
standard level of risk. A rating of 2 or 1 represents a deteriorating credit quality and increased risk. The following table shows
the classification of our loan portfolio by credit rating as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Investment Income
Investment income
decreased by $0.5 million, or 8.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended June 30,
2011. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, total investment income consisted primarily of $5.5 million in interest income
from investments, which included $0.4 million in income from the amortization of discounts and origination fees on investments.
Interest income on investments decreased primarily due to a lower beginning balance, as a result of $14.0 million in loan prepayments
in the first quarter of 2012 and new loans funded late in the second quarter. Fee income on investments was primarily comprised
of prepayment fees from our portfolio companies. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, total investment income consisted primarily
of $5.9 million in interest income from investments, which included $0.4 million in income from the amortization of discounts
and origination fees on investments.
For the three months
ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, our dollar-weighted average annualized yield on average loans was approximately 12.9% and 14.1%,
respectively. Investment income, consisting of interest income and fees on loans, can fluctuate significantly upon repayment of
large loans. Interest income from the five largest loans accounted for approximately 32% and 26% of investment income for the three
months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
As of June 30, 2012
and December 31, 2011, interest receivable was $3.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, which represents one month
of accrued interest income on substantially all our loans and end of term payments on a portion of our loans.
Expenses
Total expenses decreased
by $0.8 million, or 19.2%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2011. Total operating expenses for each period consisted principally of interest expense, management fees, incentive and
administrative fees and, to a lesser degree, professional fees and general and administrative expenses. Interest expense, which
includes the amortization of debt issuance costs, increased for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to an increase in borrowings under the Wells Facility and the issuance of our Senior Notes, offset
by continued pay down under the WestLB Facility.
Management fee expense
for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011 as a result of a decrease in
average gross assets as we deleveraged our portfolio. Performance based incentive fees decreased by $1.2 million primarily due
to the recording of an accrual for the incentive fee related to realized gains earned in the three months ended June 30, 2011,
with no such accrual recorded at June 30, 2012.
Professional fees
and general and administrative expenses primarily include legal and audit fees and insurance premiums. These expenses were $0.6
million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Net Realized Gains and Net Unrealized Appreciation and
Depreciation
Realized gains or
losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the cost basis of
our investments without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized and includes investments charged
off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments primarily reflects
the change in portfolio investment fair values during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized
appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
During the three months
ended June 30, 2012, we recognized realized losses of approximately $0.1 million primarily due to the charge off of warrants in
one portfolio company. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized realized gains of approximately $5.4 million
primarily due to the sale of warrants in three portfolio companies.
During the three months
ended June 30, 2012, net unrealized appreciation on investments totaled approximately $0.02 million which was primarily due to
the change in the fair values of our investment portfolio during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, net unrealized
depreciation on investments totaled approximately $3.5 million which was primarily due to the reversal of previously recorded unrealized
appreciation on our warrant investments that was realized during the second quarter of 2011.

Investment Income
Investment income
increased by $0.7 million, or 5.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, total investment income consisted primarily of $11.4 million in interest income from
investments, which included $1.0 million in income from the amortization of discounts and origination fees on investments.
Interest income on investments increased primarily due to the increased average size of the loan portfolio. Fee income on investments
for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily from prepayment fees from our portfolio companies. For the six months ended
June 30, 2011, total investment income consisted primarily of $10.8 million in interest income from investments, which included
$0.8 million in income from the amortization of discounts and origination fees on investments. Fee income on investments for
the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily comprised of a one-time success fee received upon the completion of an acquisition
of one of our portfolio companies.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, our dollar-weighted average annualized yield on average loans was approximately 14.1% and 14.6% respectively.
Investment income, consisting of interest income and fees on loans, can fluctuate significantly upon repayment of large loans.
Interest income from the five largest loans accounted for approximately 31% and 24% of investment income for the six months ended
June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Expenses
Total expenses decreased
by $0.7 million, or 10.1%, to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2011. Total operating expenses for each period consisted principally of interest expense, management fees, incentive and
administrative fees and, to a lesser degree, professional fees and general and administrative expenses. Interest expense, which
includes the amortization of debt issuance costs, increased for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2011 primarily due to an increase in borrowings under the Wells Facility and the issuance of our Senior Notes, offset
by continued pay down under the WestLB Facility.
Management fee expense
for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 as a result of a decrease in average
gross assets as we deleveraged our portfolio. Performance based incentive fees decreased by $0.9 million primarily due to the recording
of an accrual for the incentive fee related to realized gains earned in the six months ended June 30, 2011, with no such accrual
recorded at June 30, 2012.
Professional fees
and general and administrative expenses primarily include legal and audit fees and insurance premiums. These expenses were $1.1
million for both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
Net Realized Gains and Net Unrealized Appreciation and
Depreciation
Realized gains or
losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the cost basis of
our investments without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized and includes investments charged
off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments primarily reflects
the change in portfolio investment fair values during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized
appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
During the six months
ended June 30, 2012, we recognized realized losses of approximately $0.1 million primarily due to the charge off of warrants in
one portfolio company. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized realized gains of approximately $5.6 million primarily
due to the sale of warrants in four portfolio companies.
During the six months
ended June 30, 2012, net unrealized depreciation on investments totaled approximately $0.8 million which was primarily due to $1.2
million of net unrealized depreciation on our debt and other investments which was partially offset by unrealized appreciation
on our warrant and equity investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net unrealized depreciation on investments totaled
approximately $2.3 million which was primarily due to the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation on our warrant
investments that was realized in the second quarter, offset by a net increase in the fair value of our investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2012
and December 31, 2011, we had cash and investments in money market funds of $7.5 million and $14.8 million, respectively.
These amounts are available to fund new investments, reduce borrowings under the WestLB Facility and the Wells Facility (collectively,
the “Credit Facilities”), pay operating expenses and pay dividends. Our primary sources of capital have been from our
IPO, use of our Credit Facilities, issuance of our Senior Notes and from the private placement for $50 million of equity capital
we completed on March 4, 2008.
The WestLB Facility
had a three year initial revolving term which ended on March 3, 2011. The outstanding principal balance under the WestLB Facility
was $14.5 million as of June 30, 2012 and is amortizing based on debt investment payments received through March 3, 2015.
As of June 30, 2012,
we had available borrowing capacity of approximately $42.1 million under our Wells Facility, subject to existing terms and
advance rates. As of June 30, 2012, the outstanding principal balance under the Wells Facility was $32.9 million. Based on eligible
loans held by Credit II, we had excess availability of $17.8 million as of June 30, 2012.
Our operating activities
used cash of $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and our financing activities provided net cash proceeds of
$7.7 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for investing in portfolio companies. Cash
was primarily provided from our availability under our Credit Facilities and our Senior Notes. Our financing activity provided
cash primarily from our issuance of our Senior Notes offset by a net decrease in borrowings under our Credit Facilities and the
payment of our dividends.
Our operating activities
used cash of $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and our financing activities used cash of $15.7 million
for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for investing in portfolio companies that was provided primarily
from our availability on our Credit Facilities.
Our primary use of
available funds is to make investments in portfolio companies and for general corporate purposes. We expect to opportunistically
raise additional equity and debt capital as needed, and subject to market conditions, to support our future growth through future
equity offerings, issuances of senior securities and/or future borrowings, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.
In order to satisfy
the Code requirements applicable to a RIC, we intend to distribute to our stockholders all or substantially all of our income except
for certain net capital gains. In addition, as a BDC, we generally will be required to meet a coverage ratio of 200%. This requirement
will limit the amount that we may borrow.
Current Borrowings
We, through our wholly
owned subsidiary, Credit I, entered into the WestLB Facility. The base rate borrowings under the WestLB Facility bear interest
at one-month LIBOR (0.25% as of June 30, 2012 and 0.30% as of December 31, 2011) plus 2.50%. The rates were 2.75% and 2.80% as
of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We were able to request advances under the WestLB Facility through March 4,
2011. We may not request new advances and we must repay the outstanding advances under the WestLB Facility as of such date and
at such times and in such amounts as are necessary to maintain compliance with the terms and conditions of the WestLB Facility,
particularly the condition that the principal balance of the WestLB Facility does not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the
aggregate principal balance of our eligible loans to our portfolio companies. All outstanding advances under the WestLB Facility
are due and payable on March 4, 2015.
The WestLB Facility
is collateralized by all loans and warrants held by Credit I and permits an advance rate of up to 75% of eligible loans held by
Credit I. The WestLB Facility contains covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth
and to restrict the loans securing the WestLB Facility to certain criteria for qualified loans, and includes portfolio company
concentration limits as defined in the related loan agreement.
We, through our wholly
owned subsidiary, Credit II entered into the Wells Facility on July 14, 2011. The interest rate on the Wells Facility is based
upon the one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The interest rate was 5.00% as of June 30, 2012 and
December 31, 2011.
We may request advances
under the Wells Facility through July 14, 2014 (the “Revolving Period”). After the Revolving Period, we may not request
new advances and we must repay the outstanding advances under the Wells Facility as of such date, at such times and in such amounts
as are necessary to maintain compliance with the terms and conditions of the Wells Facility, particularly the condition that the
principal balance of the Wells Facility does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate principal balance of our eligible
loans to our portfolio companies. All outstanding advances under the Wells Facility are due and payable on July 14, 2017.
The Wells Facility
is collateralized by loans held by Credit II and permits an advance rate of up to 50% of eligible loans held by Credit II. The
Wells Facility contains covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth, to restrict the
loans securing the Wells Facility to certain criteria for qualified loans and to comply with portfolio company concentration limits
as defined in the related loan agreement.
On March 23, 2012,
we issued and sold $30 million aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior unsecured notes due in 2019 (the “Senior Notes”).
The Senior Notes will mature on March 15, 2019 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option at any time or from time to
time on or after March 15, 2015 at a redemption price of $25 per security plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Senior Notes bear
interest at a rate of 7.375% per year payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning
June 15, 2012. The Senior Notes are our direct, unsecured obligations and rank (i) pari passu with our future senior unsecured
indebtedness; (ii) senior to any of our future indebtedness that expressly provides it is subordinated to the Senior Notes; (iii)
effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness that is initially unsecured
to which we subsequently grant security), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including without
limitation, borrowings under our Credit Facilities and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and
other obligations of any of our subsidiaries.
In connection with
the Senior Notes, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $4.5 million in aggregate
principal amount of Senior Notes to cover overallotments, if any. Pursuant to this option, $3.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of Senior Notes were issued and sold on April 18, 2012.
As of June 30, 2012
and December 31, 2011, other assets were $3.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, which were comprised primarily
of debt issuance costs and prepaid expenses. The increase was due to the debt issuance costs of approximately $1.3 million incurred
related to the Senior Notes.

In the normal course
of business, we are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These consist primarily of unfunded commitments
to extend credit, in the form of loans, to our portfolio companies. Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies
are not reflected on our balance sheet. Our unfunded commitments may be significant from time to time. As of June 30, 2012, we
had unfunded commitments of approximately $39.3 million. These commitments will be subject to the same underwriting and ongoing
portfolio maintenance as are the balance sheet financial instruments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being
drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
In addition to the
Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes, we have certain commitments pursuant to our Investment Management Agreement entered into
with our Advisor. We have agreed to pay a fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of two components —
a base management fee and an incentive fee. Payments under the Investment Management Agreement are equal to (1) a base management
fee equal to a percentage of the value of our average gross assets and (2) a two-part incentive fee. We have also entered
into a contract with our Advisor to serve as our administrator. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount
based upon our allocable portion of our Advisor’s overhead in performing its obligation under the agreement, including rent,
fees, and other expenses inclusive of our allocable portion of the compensation of our chief financial officer and chief compliance
officer and their respective staff. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our
Investment Management Agreement and our Administration Agreement.
Distributions
In order to qualify
as a RIC and to avoid corporate level tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we are required under the Code to distribute
at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to
our stockholders on an annual basis. Additionally, we must distribute at least 98% of our ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital
gain net income on an annual basis and any net ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed
during such years and on which we previously paid no U.S. federal income tax to avoid a U.S. federal excise tax. We intend to distribute
quarterly dividends to our stockholders as determined by our Board.
We may not be able
to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of our distributions
from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage requirements applicable
to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse
tax consequences, including the possible loss of our qualification as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive
any distributions.
To the extent our
taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be
deemed a return of capital to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, the source of a distribution to our
stockholders may be the original capital invested by the stockholder rather than our income or gains. Stockholders should read
any written disclosure accompanying a dividend payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our
ordinary income or gains.
We have adopted an
“opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a distribution, then stockholders’
cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock unless a stockholder specifically
“opts out” of our dividend reinvestment plan. If a stockholder opts out, that stockholder will receive cash distributions.
Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of our common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state
and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders participating in our dividend reinvestment plan will not
receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion of
our financial condition and results of operation is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause
actual results to differ. In addition to the discussion below, we describe our significant accounting policies in the notes to
our consolidated financial statements.
We have identified
the following items as critical accounting policies.
Valuation of Investments
Investments are recorded
at fair value. Our Board determines the fair value of its portfolio investments. We apply fair value to substantially all of our
investments in accordance with relevant GAAP, which establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures
for fair value measurements. We have categorized our investments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation
technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the
market participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions
are not readily available, our own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use
in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.
The availability of
observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example,
the type of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market
and the current market conditions. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable
in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. The three categories within the hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 2
|
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 3
|
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
|
Income Recognition
Interest on loan investments
is accrued and included in income based on contractual rates applied to principal amounts outstanding. Interest income is determined
using a method that results in a level rate of return on principal amounts outstanding. When a loan becomes 90 days or more
past due, or if we otherwise do not expect to receive interest and principal repayments, the loan is placed on non-accrual status
and the recognition of interest income is discontinued. Interest payments received on loans that are on non-accrual status are
treated as reductions of principal until the principal is repaid.
We receive a variety
of fees from borrowers in the ordinary course of conducting our business, including advisory fees, commitment fees, amendment fees,
non-utilization fees and prepayment fees (collectively, the “Fees”). In a limited number of cases, we may also receive
a non-refundable deposit earned upon the termination of a transaction. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination
costs, are deferred, and along with unearned income, are amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the
loan. Fees for counterparty loan commitments with multiple loans are allocated to each loan based upon each loan’s relative
fair value. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the amortization of the related fees and unearned income is discontinued
until the loan is returned to accrual status.
Certain loan agreements
also require the borrower to make an end-of-term payment that is accrued into income over the life of the loan to the extent such
amounts are expected to be collected. We will generally cease accruing the income if there is insufficient value to support the
accrual or if we do not expect the borrower to be able to pay all principal and interest due.
In connection with
substantially all lending arrangements, we receive warrants to purchase shares of stock from the borrower. The warrants are recorded
as assets at estimated fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The warrants are considered loan fees
and are also recorded as unearned loan income on the grant date. The unearned income is recognized as interest income over the
contractual life of the related loan in accordance with our income recognition policy. Subsequent to loan origination, the warrants
are also measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Any adjustment to fair value is recorded through earnings
as net unrealized gain or loss on warrants. Gains from the disposition of the warrants or stock acquired from the exercise of warrants
are recognized as realized gains on warrants.
Income taxes
We have elected to
be treated as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to
RICs. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, we are required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification
requirements and we must timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by
the Code, for each year. We, among other things, have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders,
which will generally relieve us from U.S. federal income taxes.
Depending on the level
of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions
into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated
current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions, we will accrue excise tax,
if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.
We evaluate tax positions
taken in the course of preparing our 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,
or uncertain tax positions, would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. It is our policy to recognize accrued interest
and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no material uncertain tax positions at June 30,
2012 and December 31, 2011.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2011, the FASB
issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements
in U.S. GAAP and IFRs, (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 converges the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. GAAP and International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements,
while other amendments change a particular principle in existing guidance. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value
disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 in the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are subject to
financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. During the periods covered by our financial statements, the interest
rates on the loans within our portfolio were mostly at fixed rates and we expect that our loans in the future will also have primarily
fixed interest rates. The initial commitments to lend to our portfolio companies are usually based on a floating LIBOR index and
typically have interest rates that are fixed at the time of the loan funding and remain fixed for the term of the loan.
Assuming that the
statement of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2012 was to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing
interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical immediate 1% change in interest rates may affect net income by more than 1% over a one-year
horizon. Although management believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not
adjust for potential changes in the credit market, credit quality, size and composition of the assets on the statement of assets
and liabilities and other business developments that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net
income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the statement above.
While our Senior Notes
bear interest at a fixed rate. our Credit Facilities have a floating interest rate provision based on a LIBOR index which resets
daily, and we expect that any other credit facilities into which we enter in the future may have floating interest rate provisions.
We have used hedging instruments in the past to protect us against interest rate fluctuations and we may use them in the future.
Such instruments may include swaps, futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse
changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect
to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates.
Because we currently
fund, and will continue to fund, our investments with borrowings, our net income is dependent upon the difference between the rate
at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest the funds borrowed. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a significant
change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net income. In periods of rising interest rates,
our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures
As of June 30, 2012,
we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
Over Financial Reporting.
There have been no
material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange
Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II — Other Information
Item 1: Legal Proceedings.
Neither we nor our
Advisor are currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened
against us or against our Advisor.
Item 1A: Risk Factors.
In addition to other
information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or
operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also
may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes during the
six months ended June 30, 2012 to the risk factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Item 2: Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and
Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3: Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4: Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable
Item 5: Other Information.
None.
