(unaudited)

(1)All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise noted. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted.
(2)See Note 3 in the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition by geographic region.
(3)Equity ownership may be held in shares or units of companies related to the portfolio companies.
(4)Interest rates may be adjusted from period to period on certain term loans and revolvers. These rate adjustments may be either temporary in nature due to tier pricing arrangements or financial or payment covenant violations in the original credit agreements or permanent in nature per loan amendment or waiver documents.
(5)Each of the Company's investments is pledged as collateral under the Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 to the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
(6)The interest rate on the principal balance outstanding for all floating rate loans is indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and/or an alternate base rate (e.g., prime rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. For each of these loans, the Company has provided the applicable margin over LIBOR or the alternate base rate based on each respective credit agreement and the cash interest rate as of period end. All LIBOR shown above is in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. As of June 30, 2020, the reference rates for the Company's variable rate loans were the 30-day LIBOR at 0.18%, the 60-day LIBOR at 0.24%, the 90-day LIBOR at 0.31%, the 180-day LIBOR at 0.36%, the 360-day LIBOR at 0.57%, the PRIME at 3.25%, the 30-day UK LIBOR at 0.10% and the 30-day EURIBOR at (0.48)%. Most loans include an interest floor, which generally ranges from 0% to 1%.
(7)Principal includes accumulated payment in kind ("PIK") interest and is net of repayments, if any. “£” signifies the investment is denominated in British Pounds. "€" signifies the investment is denominated in Euros. All other investments are denominated in U.S. dollars.
(8)Control Investments generally are defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), as investments in companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities or maintains greater than 50% of the board representation.
(9)As defined in the Investment Company Act, the Company is deemed to be both an "Affiliated Person" of and to "Control" these portfolio companies as the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company's outstanding voting securities or has the power to exercise control over management or policies of such portfolio company (including through a management agreement). See Schedule 12-14 in the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for transactions during the nine months ended June 30, 2020 in which the issuer was both an Affiliated Person and a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to control.
(10)First Star Speir Aviation 1 Limited is a wholly-owned holding company formed by the Company in order to facilitate its investment strategy. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-08, the Company has deemed the holding company to be an investment company under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and therefore deemed it appropriate to consolidate the financial results and financial position of the holding company and to recognize dividend income versus a combination of interest income and dividend income. Accordingly, the debt and equity investments in the wholly-owned holding company are disregarded for accounting purposes since the economic substance of these instruments are equity investments in the operating entities.
(11)Investment is not a "qualifying asset" as defined under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets. As of June 30, 2020, qualifying assets represented 75.5% of the Company's total assets and non-qualifying assets represented 24.5% of the Company's total assets.
(12)Income producing through payment of dividends or distributions.
(13)PIK interest income for this investment accrues at an annualized rate of 15%, however, the PIK interest is not contractually capitalized on the investment. As a result, the principal amount of the investment does not increase over time for accumulated PIK interest. As of June 30, 2020, the accumulated PIK interest balance for each of the A notes and the B notes was $3.6 million. The fair value of this investment is inclusive of PIK.
(14)See Note 3 in the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition.
(15)This investment was on PIK non-accrual status as of June 30, 2020. PIK non-accrual status is inclusive of other non-cash income, where applicable.
(16)This investment was valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value. Consistent with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), these investments are excluded from the hierarchical levels.
(17)Affiliate Investments generally are defined by the Investment Company Act as investments in companies in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities.
(18)Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments are investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.
(19)Investment has undrawn commitments. Unamortized fees are classified as unearned income which reduces cost basis, which may result in a negative cost basis. A negative fair value may result from the unfunded commitment being valued below par.

Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation
Consolidated Schedule of Investments
September 30, 2019
(dollar amounts in thousands)

(1)All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise noted. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted.
(2)See Note 3 in the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition by geographic region.
(3)Equity ownership may be held in shares or units of companies related to the portfolio companies.
(4)Interest rates may be adjusted from period to period on certain term loans and revolvers. These rate adjustments may be either temporary in nature due to tier pricing arrangements or financial or payment covenant violations in the original credit agreements or permanent in nature per loan amendment or waiver documents.
(5)With the exception of investments held by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that each formerly held a license from the SBA to operate as an SBIC, each of the Company's investments is pledged as collateral under the Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 to the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
(6)The interest rate on the principal balance outstanding for all floating rate loans is indexed to LIBOR and/or an alternate base rate (e.g., prime rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. For each of these loans, the Company has provided the applicable margin over LIBOR or the alternate base rate based on each respective credit agreement and the cash interest rate as of period end. All LIBOR shown above is in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. As of September 30, 2019, the reference rates for the Company's variable rate loans were the 30-day LIBOR at 2.04%, the 60-day LIBOR at 2.09%, the 90-day LIBOR at 2.10%, the 180-day LIBOR at 2.06%, the PRIME at 5.00%, the 30-day UK LIBOR at 0.71% and the 30-day EURIBOR at (0.51)%. Most loans include an interest floor, which generally ranges from 0% to 1%.
(7)Principal includes accumulated PIK interest and is net of repayments, if any. “£” signifies the investment is denominated in British Pounds. "€" signifies the investment is denominated in Euros. All other investments are denominated in U.S. dollars.
(8)Control Investments generally are defined by the Investment Company Act, as investments in companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities or maintains greater than 50% of the board representation.
(9)As defined in the Investment Company Act, the Company is deemed to be both an "Affiliated Person" of and to "Control" this portfolio company as the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company's outstanding voting securities or has the power to exercise control over management or policies of such portfolio company (including through a management agreement). See Schedule 12-14 in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019 for transactions in which the issuer was both an Affiliated Person and a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to control.
(10)First Star Speir Aviation 1 Limited is a wholly-owned holding company formed by the Company in order to facilitate its investment strategy. In accordance with ASU 2013-08, the Company has deemed the holding company to be an investment company under GAAP and therefore deemed it appropriate to consolidate the financial results and financial position of the holding company and to recognize dividend income versus a combination of interest income and dividend income. Accordingly, the debt and equity investments in the wholly-owned holding company are disregarded for accounting purposes since the economic substance of these instruments are equity investments in the operating entities.
(11)Investment is not a "qualifying asset" as defined under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets. As of September 30, 2019, qualifying assets represented 75.0% of the Company's total assets and non-qualifying assets represented 25.0% of the Company's total assets.
(12)Income producing through payment of dividends or distributions.
(13)PIK interest income for this investment accrues at an annualized rate of 15%, however, the PIK interest is not contractually capitalized on the investment. As a result, the principal amount of the investment does not increase over time for accumulated PIK interest.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation:
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements have been made. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in ASC Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies ("ASC 946").
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions affecting amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the economic and political environments, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ and such differences could be material. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments and revenue recognition.
Consolidation:
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Each consolidated subsidiary is wholly-owned and, as such, consolidated into the Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain subsidiaries that hold investments are treated as pass through entities for tax purposes. The assets of certain of the consolidated subsidiaries are not directly available to satisfy the claims of the creditors of Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation or any of its other subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2020, the consolidated subsidiaries were Fifth Street Fund of Funds LLC ("Fund of Funds"), Fifth Street Mezzanine Partners IV, L.P., Fifth Street Mezzanine Partners V, L.P., FSMP IV GP, LLC, FSMP V GP, LLC, OCSL SRNE, LLC, OCSL AB Blocker, LLC and FSFC Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"). In addition, the Company consolidates various holding companies held in connection with its equity investments in certain portfolio investments.
As an investment company, portfolio investments held by the Company are not consolidated into the Consolidated Financial Statements but rather are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as investments at fair value.

Fair Value Measurements:
The Company values its investments in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
28

OAKTREE SPECIALTY LENDING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)




date. A liability's fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices over entity-specific inputs. Where observable prices or inputs are not available or reliable, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments' complexity.
Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
 
Level 1 — Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data at the measurement date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
If inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, an investment's level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. This includes investment securities that are valued using "bid" and "ask" prices obtained from independent third party pricing services or directly from brokers. These investments may be classified as Level 3 because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities or may require adjustments for investment-specific factors or restrictions.
Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value. As such, Oaktree obtains and analyzes readily available market quotations provided by pricing vendors and brokers for all of the Company's investments for which quotations are available. In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing vendors and brokers use observable market information, including both binding and non-binding indicative quotations.
The Company seeks to obtain at least two quotations for the subject or similar securities, typically from pricing vendors. If the Company is unable to obtain two quotes from pricing vendors, or if the prices obtained from pricing vendors are not within the Company's set threshold, the Company seeks to obtain a quote directly from a broker making a market for the asset. Oaktree evaluates the quotations provided by pricing vendors and brokers based on available market information, including trading activity of the subject or similar securities, or by performing a comparable security analysis to ensure that fair values are reasonably estimated. Oaktree also performs back-testing of valuation information obtained from pricing vendors and brokers against actual prices received in transactions. In addition to ongoing monitoring and back-testing, Oaktree performs due diligence procedures over pricing vendors to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process. Generally, the Company does not adjust any of the prices received from these sources.
If the quotations obtained from pricing vendors or brokers are determined to not be reliable or are not readily available, the Company values such investments using any of three different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is the transaction precedent technique, which utilizes recent or expected future transactions of the investment to determine fair value, to the extent applicable. The second valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value ("EV") of the portfolio company. EV means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The EV analysis is typically performed to determine (i) the value of equity investments, (ii) whether there is credit impairment for debt investments and (iii) the value for debt investments that the Company is deemed to control under the Investment Company Act. To estimate the EV of a portfolio company, Oaktree analyzes various factors, including the portfolio company’s historical and projected financial results, macroeconomic impacts on the company and competitive dynamics in the company’s industry. Oaktree also utilizes some or all of the following information based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company: (i) valuations of comparable public companies, (ii) recent sales of private and public comparable companies in similar industries or having similar business or earnings characteristics, (iii) purchase prices as a multiple of their earnings or cash flow, (iv) the portfolio company’s ability to meet its forecasts and its business prospects, (v) a discounted cash flow analysis, (vi) estimated liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company's assets and (vii) offers from third parties to buy the portfolio company. The Company may probability weight potential sale outcomes with respect to a portfolio company when uncertainty exists as of the valuation date. The third valuation technique is a market yield technique, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments. In the market yield technique, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk, and the Company considers the current contractual interest rate,
29

OAKTREE SPECIALTY LENDING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)




the capital structure and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the EV of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by the Company are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Company depends on primary market data, including newly funded transactions and industry specific market movements, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.
In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that qualify as investment companies in accordance with ASC 946 may be valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value. Consistent with FASB guidance under ASC 820, these investments are excluded from the hierarchical levels. These investments are generally not redeemable.
The Company estimates the fair value of privately held warrants using a Black Scholes pricing model, which includes an analysis of various factors and subjective assumptions, including the current stock price (by using an EV analysis as described above), the expected period until exercise, expected volatility of the underlying stock price, expected dividends and the risk free rate. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.
The Company's Board of Directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of the Company's investments:
The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by Oaktree's valuation team in conjunction with Oaktree's portfolio management team and investment professionals responsible for each portfolio investment;
Preliminary valuations are then reviewed and discussed with management of Oaktree;
Separately, independent valuation firms engaged by the Board of Directors prepare valuations of the Company's investments, on a selected basis, for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment, and submit the reports to the Company and provide such reports to Oaktree and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors;
Oaktree compares and contrasts its preliminary valuations to the valuations of the independent valuation firms and prepares a valuation report for the Audit Committee;
The Audit Committee reviews the preliminary valuations with Oaktree, and Oaktree responds and supplements the preliminary valuations to reflect any discussions between Oaktree and the Audit Committee;
The Audit Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board of Directors regarding the fair value of the investments in the Company's portfolio; and
The Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company's portfolio.
The fair value of the Company's investments as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has and will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of a portion of the Company's portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment each quarter, and the Board of Directors may reasonably rely on that assistance. However, the Board of Directors is responsible for the ultimate valuation of the portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Company's valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.
With the exception of the line items entitled "deferred financing costs," "deferred offering costs," "other assets," "deferred tax asset, net," "deferred tax liability," "credit facility payable" and "unsecured notes payable," which are reported at amortized cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying value of the line items titled "interest, dividends and fees receivable," "due from portfolio companies," "receivables from unsettled transactions," "accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities," "base management fee and incentive fee payable," "due to affiliate," "interest payable" and "payables from unsettled transactions" approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)




Foreign Currency Translation:
The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the prevailing foreign exchange rate on the reporting date. The Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The Company’s investments in foreign securities may involve certain risks, including foreign exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic risks, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investment. In addition, changes in the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of these investments and therefore the earnings of the Company.
Derivative Instruments:
The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such values its derivative instruments at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses recorded in “net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investment Income:
Interest Income
Interest income, adjusted for accretion of original issue discount ("OID"), is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company stops accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest cash payments will be collected. Cash interest payments received on investments may be recognized as income or a return of capital depending upon management’s judgment. A non-accrual investment is restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest are paid in cash and the portfolio company, in management’s judgment, is likely to continue timely payment of its remaining obligations.
In connection with its investment in a portfolio company, the Company sometimes receives nominal cost equity that is valued as part of the negotiation process with the portfolio company. When the Company receives nominal cost equity, the Company allocates its cost basis in the investment between debt securities and the nominal cost equity at the time of origination. Any resulting discount from recording the loan, or otherwise purchasing a security at a discount, is accreted into interest income over the life of the loan.
For the Company's secured borrowings, the interest earned on the entire loan balance is recorded within interest income and the interest earned by the buyer from the partial sales is recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
PIK Interest Income
The Company's investments in debt securities may contain PIK interest provisions. PIK interest, which generally represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company generally ceases accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if the Company does not expect the portfolio company to be able to pay all principal and interest due. The Company's decision to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security involves subjective judgments and determinations based on available information about a particular portfolio company, including whether the portfolio company is current with respect to its payment of principal and interest on its loans and debt securities; financial statements and financial projections for the portfolio company; the Company's assessment of the portfolio company's business development success; information obtained by the Company in connection with periodic formal update interviews with the portfolio company's management and, if appropriate, the private equity sponsor; and information about the general economic and market conditions in which the portfolio company operates. The Company's determination to cease accruing PIK interest is generally made well before the Company's full write-down of a loan or debt security. In addition, if it is subsequently determined that the Company will not be able to collect any previously accrued PIK interest, the fair value of the loans or debt securities would be reduced by the amount of such previously accrued, but uncollectible, PIK interest. The accrual of PIK interest on the Company’s debt investments increases the recorded cost bases of these investments in the Consolidated Financial Statements including for purposes of computing the capital gains incentive fee payable by the Company to Oaktree. To maintain its status as a RIC, certain income from PIK interest may be required to be distributed to the Company’s stockholders, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash and may never do so.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)




Fee Income
Oaktree or its affiliates may provide financial advisory services to portfolio companies and, in return, the Company may receive fees for capital structuring services. These fees are generally nonrecurring and are recognized by the Company upon the investment closing date. The Company may also receive additional fees in the ordinary course of business, including servicing, amendment and prepayment fees, which are classified as fee income and recognized as they are earned or the services are rendered.
The Company has also structured exit fees across certain of its portfolio investments to be received upon the future exit of those investments. These fees are typically paid to the Company upon the earliest to occur of (i) a sale of the borrower or substantially all of the assets of the borrower, (ii) the maturity date of the loan or (iii) the date when full prepayment of the loan occurs. The receipt of such fees is contingent upon the occurrence of one of the events listed above for each of the investments. These fees are included in net investment income over the life of the loan.
Dividend Income
The Company generally recognizes dividend income on the record date. Distributions received from equity investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments as dividend income unless there are sufficient earnings at the portfolio company prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in bank accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limit. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are included on the Company's Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 assets.
Due from Portfolio Companies:
Due from portfolio companies consists of amounts payable to the Company from its portfolio companies, including proceeds from the sale of portfolio companies not yet received or being held in escrow, and excluding those amounts attributable to interest, dividends or fees receivable. These amounts are recognized as they become payable to the Company (e.g., principal payments on the scheduled amortization payment date).
Receivables/Payables from Unsettled Transactions:
Receivables/payables from unsettled transactions consist of amounts receivable to or payable by the Company for transactions that have not settled at the reporting date.
Deferred Financing Costs:
Deferred financing costs consist of fees and expenses paid in connection with the closing or amending of credit facilities and debt offerings. Deferred financing costs in connection with credit facilities are capitalized as an asset when incurred. Deferred financing costs in connection with all other debt arrangements are a direct deduction from the related debt liability when incurred. Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the respective debt arrangement. This amortization expense is included in interest expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Upon early termination or modification of a credit facility, all or a portion of unamortized fees related to such facility may be accelerated into interest expense. For extinguishments of the Company’s unsecured notes payable, any unamortized deferred financing costs are deducted from the carrying amount of the debt in determining the gain or loss from the extinguishment.

Deferred Offering Costs:
Legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with the Company’s shelf registration statement are capitalized as deferred offering costs in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. To the extent any such costs relate to equity offerings, these costs are charged as a reduction of capital upon utilization. To the extent any such costs relate to debt offerings, these costs are treated as deferred financing costs and are amortized over the term of the respective debt arrangement. Any
32

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)




deferred offering costs that remain at the expiration of the shelf registration statement or when it becomes probable that an offering will not be completed are expensed.
Income Taxes:
The Company has elected to be subject to tax 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 be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute dividends to its stockholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, for each taxable year. As a RIC, the Company is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed currently to stockholders as a dividend. Depending on the level of taxable income earned during a taxable year, the Company may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions and would distribute such taxable income in the next taxable year. The Company would then incur a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar year basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. The Company anticipates timely distribution of its taxable income within the tax rules under Subchapter M of the Code. The Company did not incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar years 2018 and 2019.
The Company holds certain portfolio investments through taxable subsidiaries, including Fund of Funds and Holdings. The purpose of the Company's taxable subsidiaries is to permit the Company to hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are "pass through" entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes in order to comply with the RIC tax requirements. The taxable subsidiaries are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and portfolio investments held by them are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as portfolio investments and recorded at fair value. The taxable subsidiaries are not consolidated with the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of their ownership of certain portfolio investments. This income tax expense, if any, would be reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company uses the liability method to account for its taxable subsidiaries' income taxes. Using this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax benefits associated with net operating loss carry forwards that it may use to offset future tax obligations. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which it expects to recover or settle those temporary differences.
FASB ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management's determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including an ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Company's tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2017, 2018 or 2019. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and California, and the Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2020, the guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The SEC issued final rules that, among other things, amended the financial disclosure requirements of Regulation S-X for acquired and disposed businesses and the significance tests for a “significant subsidiary” as applicable to BDCs, and amended certain forms used by BDCs. The amendments are intended to assist BDCs in making more meaningful determinations as to whether a subsidiary or an acquired or disposed entity is significant and improve the financial disclosure requirements

applicable to acquisitions and dispositions of investment companies and BDCs. The Company early adopted the updated rules for the three months ended June 30, 2020 which did not result in any new significant subsidiaries being identified.
Note 3. Portfolio Investments
As of June 30, 2020, 181.7% of net assets at fair value, or $1.6 billion, was invested in 119 portfolio companies, including $110.0 million in subordinated notes and limited liability company ("LLC") equity interests of SLF JV I, a joint venture through which the Company and Trinity Universal Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Kemper Corporation, co-invest in senior secured loans of middle-market companies and other corporate debt securities. As of June 30, 2020, 5.9% of net assets at fair value, or $50.7 million, was invested in cash and cash equivalents. In comparison, as of September 30, 2019, 154.5% of net assets at fair value, or $1.4 billion, was invested in 104 portfolio investments, including $126.3 million in subordinated notes and LLC equity interests of SLF JV I, and 1.7% of net assets at fair value, or $15.4 million, was invested in cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2020, 80.9% of the Company's portfolio at fair value consisted of senior secured debt investments and 13.4% consisted of subordinated debt investments, including the debt investment in SLF JV I. As of September 30, 2019, 78.6% of the Company's portfolio at fair value consisted of senior secured debt investments and 12.3% consisted of subordinated debt investments, including the debt investment in SLF JV I.
The Company also held equity investments in certain of its portfolio companies consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, limited partnership interests or LLC equity interests. These instruments generally do not produce a current return but are held for potential investment appreciation and capital gain.
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded net realized gains (losses) of $2.8 million and $(20.4) million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded net realized gains (losses) of $(19.8) million and $23.3 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $100.6 million and $(60.1) million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $23.4 million and $37.9 million, respectively.

(a)In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that are measured using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. These investments are generally not redeemable. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the fact that the unobservable factors are significant to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 financial instruments typically have both unobservable or Level 3 components and observable components (i.e. components that are actively quoted and can be validated by external sources). Accordingly, the appreciation (depreciation) in the tables below includes changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology. Transfers between levels are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period.

(f)The Company determined the value of its subordinated notes of SLF JV I based on the total assets less the total liabilities senior to the subordinated notes held at SLF JV I in an amount not exceeding par under the EV technique.

Under the market yield technique, the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company's investments in debt securities is the market yield. Increases or decreases in the market yield may result in a lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively.
Under the EV technique, the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company's investments in debt or equity securities is the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), revenue or asset multiple, as applicable. Increases or decreases in the valuation multiples in isolation may result in a higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.
 
Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, At Fair Value

The principal value of the credit facility payable approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate and is included in Level 3 of the hierarchy. As of June 30, 2020, unsecured notes payable included the 3.500% unsecured notes due 2025 ("2025 Notes"). The Company used market quotes as of the valuation date to estimate the fair value of the 2025 Notes, which are included in Level 2 of the hierarchy. As of September 30, 2019, unsecured notes payable included the 5.875% unsecured notes due 2024 ("2024 Notes") and the 6.125% unsecured notes due 2028 ("2028 Notes"). The Company used the unadjusted quoted price as of the valuation date to calculate the fair value of the 2024 Notes and the 2028 Notes. Although these securities were publicly traded, the market was relatively inactive, and accordingly, these securities were included in Level 2 of the hierarchy.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)




As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had no single investment that represented greater than 10% of the total investment portfolio at fair value. Income, consisting of interest, dividends, fees, other investment income and realization of gains or losses, may fluctuate and in any given period can be highly concentrated among several investments.

Senior Loan Fund JV I, LLC
In May 2014, the Company entered into an LLC agreement with Trinity Universal Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Kemper Corporation ("Kemper"), to form SLF JV I. The Company co-invests in senior secured loans of middle-market companies and other corporate debt securities with Kemper through its investment in SLF JV I. SLF JV I is managed by a four person Board of Directors, two of whom are selected by the Company and two of whom are selected by Kemper. All portfolio decisions and investment decisions in respect of SLF JV I must be approved by the SLF JV I investment committee, which consists of one representative selected by the Company and one representative selected by Kemper (with approval from a representative of each required). Since the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in SLF JV I, the Company does not consolidate SLF JV I.
SLF JV I is capitalized pro rata with LLC equity interests as transactions are completed and may be capitalized with additional subordinated notes issued to the Company and Kemper by SLF JV I. On December 28, 2018, the Company and Kemper directed the redemption of their holdings of mezzanine notes issued by SLF Repack Issuer 2016, LLC, a wholly-owned, special purpose issuer subsidiary of SLF JV I. Upon such redemption, the assets collateralizing the mezzanine notes, which consisted of equity interests of SLF JV I Funding LLC (the "Equity Interests"), were distributed in-kind to each of the Company and Kemper, based upon their respective holdings of mezzanine notes. Upon such distribution, the Company and Kemper each then directed that a portion of their respective Equity Interests holdings be contributed to SLF JV I in exchange for LLC equity interests of SLF JV I and the remainder be applied as payment for the subordinated notes of SLF JV I.  SLF Repack Issuer 2016, LLC was dissolved following the foregoing redemption and liquidation. The subordinated notes issued by SLF JV I (the "SLF JV 1 Subordinated Notes") and the mezzanine notes issued by SLF Repack Issuer 2016, LLC (the "SLF Repack Notes") collectively are referred to as the SLF JV I Notes. Prior to the redemption on December 28, 2018, the SLF Repack Notes consisted of Class A mezzanine secured deferrable floating rate notes and Class B mezzanine secured deferrable fixed rate notes. The SLF JV I Subordinated Notes are (and the SLF Repack Notes were, prior to their redemption) senior in right of payment to SLF JV I LLC equity interests and subordinated in right of payment to SLF JV I’s secured debt. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company and Kemper owned, in the aggregate, 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF JV I and the outstanding SLF JV I Subordinated Notes.
SLF JV I has a senior revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (as amended, the "Deutsche Bank I Facility"), which permitted up to $250.0 million of borrowings (subject to borrowing base and other limitations) as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Borrowings under the Deutsche Bank I Facility are secured by all of the assets of SLF JV I Funding LLC, a special purpose financing subsidiary of SLF JV I. As of June 30, 2020, the reinvestment period of the Deutsche Bank I Facility was scheduled to expire June 28, 2021 and the maturity date for the Deutsche Bank I Facility was June 29, 2026. As of June 30, 2020, borrowings under the Deutsche Bank I Facility accrued interest at a rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 1.85% per annum during the reinvestment period and 3-month LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum during the amortization period. Under the Deutsche Bank I Facility, $173.9 million and $170.2 million of borrowings were outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
On July 10, 2020, SLF JV I amended the Deutsche Bank I Facility to (a) establish a waiver period beginning on July 10, 2020 and ending 180 days thereafter (the “Waiver Period”), during which the facility agent is restricted from revaluing certain collateral obligations where the change in valuation is caused by or results from a business disruption due primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic and (b) modify the minimum utilization percentage from 75% to 50% until 90 days after the end of the Waiver Period.
As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, SLF JV I had total assets of $315.4 million and $360.9 million, respectively. SLF JV I's portfolio primarily consisted of senior secured loans to 53 and 51 portfolio companies, as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The portfolio companies in SLF JV I are in industries similar to those in which the Company may invest directly. As of June 30, 2020, the Company's investment in SLF JV I consisted of LLC equity interests and Subordinated Notes of $110.0 million, at fair value. As of September 30, 2019, the Company's investment in SLF JV I consisted of LLC equity interests and Subordinated Notes of $126.3 million, at fair value.
As of each of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company and Kemper had funded approximately $165.5 million to SLF JV I, of which $144.8 million was from the Company. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company and Kemper had the option to fund additional SLF JV I Notes, subject to additional equity funding to SLF JV I. As of each of

Distributions
Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board of Directors and is based on management’s estimate of the Company’s annual taxable income. Net realized capital gains, if any, may be distributed to stockholders or retained for reinvestment.
The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Company’s Board of Directors declares a cash distribution, then the Company’s stockholders who have not “opted out” of the Company’s DRIP will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution. If the Company’s shares are trading at a premium to net asset value, the Company typically issues new shares to implement the DRIP with such shares issued at the greater of the most recently computed net asset value per share of common stock or 95% of the current market price per share of common stock on the payment date for such distribution. If the Company’s shares are trading at a discount to net asset value, the Company typically purchases shares in the open market in connection with the Company’s obligations under the DRIP.
For income tax purposes, the Company has reported its distributions for the 2019 calendar year as ordinary income. The character of such distributions was appropriately reported to the Internal Revenue Service and stockholders for the 2019 calendar year. To the extent the Company’s taxable earnings for a fiscal and taxable year fall below the amount of distributions paid for the fiscal and taxable year, a portion of the total amount of the Company’s distributions for the fiscal and taxable year is deemed a return of capital for tax purposes to the Company’s stockholders.

Note 6. Borrowings
Credit Facility

On November 30, 2017, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto, ING Capital LLC, as administrative agent, ING Capital LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agents. The Credit Facility provides that the Company may use the proceeds of the loans and issuances of letters of credit under the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, including acquiring and funding leveraged loans, mezzanine loans, high-yield securities, convertible securities, preferred stock, common stock and other investments. The Credit Facility further allows the Company to request letters of credit from ING Capital LLC, as the issuing bank.

As of June 30, 2020, (i) the size of the Credit Facility was $700 million (with an “accordion” feature that permits the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility to up to the greater of $800 million and the Company’s net worth (as defined in the Credit Facility) on the date of such increase), (ii) the period during which the Company may make drawings will expire on February 25, 2023 and the maturity date is February 25, 2024 and (iii) the interest rate margin for (a) LIBOR loans (which may be 1-, 2-, 3- or 6-month, at the Company’s option) was 2.00% (which can be increased up to 2.25%) and (b) alternate base rate loans was 1.00% (which can be increased up to 1.25%); provided that the interest margin will increase to 2.75% and 1.75% for LIBOR loans and alternative base rate loans, respectively, if the Company’s stockholders’ equity is below $700 million, each depending on the Company’s senior debt coverage ratio.

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets (excluding, among other things, investments held in and by certain subsidiaries of the Company or investments in certain portfolio companies of the Company) and guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. As of June 30, 2020, except for assets that were held by certain immaterial subsidiaries, substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged as collateral under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility requires the Company to, among other things, (i) make representations and warranties regarding the collateral as well as each of the Company’s portfolio companies’ businesses, (ii) agree to certain indemnification obligations, and (iii) comply with various affirmative and negative covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities, including covenants related to: (A) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (B) limitations on certain investments, (C) limitations on certain asset transfers and restricted payments, (D) maintaining a certain minimum stockholders’ equity, (E) maintaining a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities) to total indebtedness, of the Company and its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions), of not less than 1.50 to 1.00, (F) maintaining a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, of the Company and its subsidiaries (subject to certain
54

exceptions), of not less than 2.25 to 1.00, (G) maintaining a minimum liquidity and net worth, and (H) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that prohibit liens on certain properties of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The Credit Facility also includes usual and customary default provisions such as the failure to make timely payments under the facility, the occurrence of a change in control, and the failure by the Company to materially perform under the agreements governing the facility, which, if not complied with, could accelerate repayment under the facility. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility. In addition to the asset coverage ratio described above, borrowings under the Credit Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that will apply different advance rates to different types of assets in the Company’s portfolio. Each loan or letter of credit originated or assumed under the Credit Facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had $466.8 million and $314.8 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, respectively, which had a fair value of $466.8 million and $314.8 million, respectively. The Company's borrowings under the Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 3.325% and 4.615% for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded interest expense (inclusive of fees) of $3.5 million and $11.7 million, respectively, related to the Credit Facility. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded interest expense (inclusive of fees) of $5.1 million and $12.7 million in the aggregate, related to the Credit Facility.

2025 Notes
On February 25, 2020, the Company issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes for net proceeds of $293.8 million after deducting OID of $2.5 million, underwriting commissions and discounts of $3.0 million and offering costs of $0.7 million. The OID on the 2025 Notes is amortized based on the effective interest method over the term of the 2025 Notes.
The 2025 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated April 30, 2012, as supplemented by the fifth supplemental indenture, dated February 25, 2020 (collectively, the "2025 Notes Indenture"), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the "Trustee"). The 2025 Notes are the Company's general unsecured obligations that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company's existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated. The 2025 Notes effectively rank junior to any of the Company's secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2025 Notes rank structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by the Company's subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities. 
Interest on the 2025 Notes is paid semi-annually on February 25 and August 25 at a rate of 3.500% per annum. The 2025 Notes mature on February 25, 2025 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company's option prior to maturity at par plus a “make-whole” premium, if applicable.
The 2025 Notes Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company's compliance with the asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) and (2) of the Investment Company Act or any successor provisions (but giving effect to any exemptive relief granted to the Company by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")), as well as covenants requiring the Company to provide financial information to the holders of the 2025 Notes and the Trustee if the Company ceases to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These covenants are subject to limitations and exceptions that are described in the 2025 Notes Indenture. The Company may repurchase the 2025 Notes in accordance with the Investment Company Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. In addition, holders of the 2025 Notes can require the Company to repurchase the 2025 Notes at 100% of their principal amount upon the occurrence of certain change of control events as described in the 2025 Notes Indenture. The 2025 Notes were issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. From issuance through June 30, 2020, the Company did not repurchase any of the 2025 Notes in the open market.
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded interest expense (inclusive of fees) of $2.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, related to the 2025 Notes.
As of June 30, 2020, there were $300.0 million of 2025 Notes outstanding, which had a carrying value and fair value of $294.2 million and $293.3 million, respectively. The carrying value represents the aggregate principal amount outstanding less unamortized deferred financing costs and the unaccreted discount recorded upon the issuance of the 2025 Notes. As of June 30, 2020, the total unamortized deferred financing costs and the net unaccreted discount were $3.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

 Note 8. Taxable/Distributable Income and Dividend Distributions
Taxable income differs from net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations primarily due to: (1) unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, secured borrowings and foreign currency, as gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized; (2) origination and exit fees received in connection with investments in portfolio companies; (3) organizational costs; (4) income or loss recognition on exited investments; (5) recognition of interest income on certain loans; and (6) investments in controlled foreign corporations.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had net capital loss carryforwards of $515.8 million to offset net capital gains that will not expire, to the extent available and permitted by U.S. federal income tax law, of which $109.2 million are available to offset future short-term capital gains and $406.6 million are available to offset future long-term capital gains.
Listed below is a reconciliation of "net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations" to taxable income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

 __________
(1) The Company's taxable income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 is an estimate and will not be finally determined until the Company files its tax return for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020. Therefore, the final taxable income may be different than the estimate.
The Company uses the liability method to account for its taxable subsidiaries' income taxes. Using this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax benefits associated with net loss carry forwards that it may use to offset future tax obligations. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which it expects to recover or settle those temporary differences.
When assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining whether the deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company considers the period of expiration of the tax asset, historical and projected taxable income, and tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction in which the tax asset is located. The deferred tax asset recognized by the Company, as it relates to the higher tax basis in the
57

OAKTREE SPECIALTY LENDING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)




carrying value of certain assets compared to the book basis of those assets, will be recognized in future years by these taxable entities. Deferred tax assets are based on the amount of the tax benefit that the Company’s management has determined is more likely than not to be realized in future periods. In determining the realizability of this tax benefit, management considered numerous factors that will give rise to pre-tax income in future periods. Among these are the historical and expected future book and tax basis pre-tax income of the Company and unrealized gains in the Company’s assets at the determination date. Based on these and other factors, the Company determined that, as of June 30, 2020, $3.7 million of $4.5 million net deferred tax assets would not more likely than not be realized in future periods. As of June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $0.8 million on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a total provision for income tax benefit of $0.1 million, which was comprised of (i) a current income tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million primarily as a result of return to provision adjustments, and (ii) a deferred income tax expense of approximately $0.1 million, which resulted from unrealized appreciation on investments held by the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a total provision for income tax benefit of $1.6 million, which was comprised of (i) a current income tax benefit of approximately $0.1 million primarily as a result of return to provision adjustments and a reversal of penalties and interest previously incurred, partially offset by current tax expense incurred from realized gains on investments held at the Company's wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries and (ii) a deferred income tax benefit of approximately $1.5 million, which resulted from unrealized depreciation on investments held by the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company's last tax year end, the components of accumulated overdistributed earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income, net$10,699  
Net realized capital losses(515,800) 
Unrealized losses, net(53,451) 
The aggregate cost of investments for income tax purposes was $1.5 billion as of September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of value over cost for income tax purposes was $202.2 million. As of September 30, 2019, the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of cost for income tax purposes over value was $255.6 million. Net unrealized depreciation based on the aggregate cost of investments for income tax purposes was $53.4 million.
Note 9. Realized Gains or Losses and Net Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
Realized Gains or Losses
Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or redemption and the cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and include investments written-off during the period, net of recoveries. Realized losses may also be recorded in connection with the Company's determination that certain investments are considered worthless securities and/or meet the conditions for loss recognition per the applicable tax rules.

Note 10. Concentration of Credit Risks
The Company deposits its cash with financial institutions and at times such balances may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by depositing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and monitoring their financial stability.
Note 11. Related Party Transactions

As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had a liability on its Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $13.0 million and $10.2 million, respectively, reflecting the unpaid portion of the base management fees and incentive fees payable to Oaktree and OCM. OCM has voluntarily deferred the payment of Part I incentive fees earned during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company expects to settle this payment in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020.
Investment Advisory Agreement
The Company is party to the Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays Oaktree a fee for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee payable to Oaktree and any incentive fees earned by Oaktree is ultimately borne by common stockholders of the Company.
From October 17, 2017 through May 3, 2020, the Company was externally managed by OCM pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. On May 4, 2020, OCM effected the novation of such investment advisory agreement to Oaktree. Immediately following such novation, the Company and Oaktree entered into a new investment advisory agreement with the same terms, including fee structure, as the investment advisory agreement with OCM. The term “Investment Advisory Agreement” refers collectively to the agreements with Oaktree and, prior to its novation, with OCM. Prior to October 17, 2017, the Company was externally managed by Fifth Street Management LLC (the "Former Adviser”), an indirect, partially-owned subsidiary of Fifth Street Asset Management Inc., pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Former Adviser (the "Former Investment Advisory Agreement"), which was terminated on October 17, 2017.
Unless earlier terminated as described below, the Investment Advisory Agreement will remain in effect until September 30, 2021 and thereafter from year-to-year if approved annually by the Board of Directors of the Company or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities, including, in either case, approval by a majority of the directors of the Company who are not interested persons. The Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other. The Investment Advisory Agreement may also be terminated, without penalty, upon the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company.
Base Management Fee

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of total gross assets, including any investment made with borrowings, but excluding cash and cash equivalents. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and the fee for any partial month or quarter is appropriately prorated. Effective May 3, 2019, the base management fee on the Company’s gross assets, including any investments made with borrowings, but excluding any cash and cash equivalents, that exceed the product of (A) 200% and (B) the Company’s net asset value will be 1.00%. For the avoidance of doubt, the 200% will be calculated in accordance with the Investment Company Act and will give effect to

exemptive relief the Company received from the SEC with respect to debentures issued by a small business investment company subsidiary.
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the base management fee incurred under the Investment Advisory Agreement was $6.0 million and $16.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the base management fee (net of waivers) incurred under the Investment Advisory Agreement was $5.5 million and $16.7 million, respectively.
Incentive Fee

The incentive fee consists of two parts. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the first part of the incentive fee (the “incentive fee on income” or "Part I incentive fee") is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based upon the “pre-incentive fee net investment income” of the Company for the immediately preceding quarter. The payment of the incentive fee on income is subject to payment of a preferred return to investors each quarter (i.e., a “hurdle rate”), expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the most recently completed quarter, of 1.50%, subject to a “catch up” feature.
For this purpose, “pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies, other than fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the fiscal quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement and any interest expense and 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 OID debt, instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the calculation of the incentive fee on income for each quarter is as follows:

No incentive fee is payable to Oaktree in any quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the preferred return rate of 1.50% (the “preferred return”) on net assets;
100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the preferred return but is less than or equal to 1.8182% in any fiscal quarter is payable to Oaktree. This portion of the incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch-up” provision, and it is intended to provide Oaktree with an incentive fee of 17.5% on all of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income when the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 1.8182% on net assets in any fiscal quarter; and
For any quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 1.8182% on net assets, the incentive fee on income is equal to 17.5% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, as the preferred return and catch-up will have been achieved.

There is no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and accordingly there is no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the quarterly hurdle.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the first part of the incentive fee (incentive fee on income) incurred under the Investment Advisory Agreement was $3.6 million and $10.0 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the first part of the incentive fee (incentive fee on income) incurred under the Investment Advisory Agreement was $3.8 million and $11.3 million (prior to waivers), respectively. OCM voluntarily deferred the payment of Part I incentive fees earned during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company expects to settle this payment in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the second part of the incentive fee (the "capital gains incentive fee") is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date) commencing with the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 and equals 17.5% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 through the end of each subsequent fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Any realized capital gains, realized capital losses, unrealized capital appreciation and unrealized capital depreciation with respect to the Company’s portfolio as of the end of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 are excluded

from the calculations of the second part of the incentive fee. For the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred $4.6 million of capital gains incentive fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement (prior to waivers).

GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized on a theoretical "liquidation basis." A fee so calculated and accrued would not be payable under applicable law and may never be paid based upon the computation of capital gains incentive fees in subsequent periods. Amounts ultimately paid under the Investment Advisory Agreement will be consistent with the formula reflected in the Investment Advisory Agreement. This GAAP accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation. Any realized capital gains and losses and cumulative unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation with respect to the Company’s portfolio as of the end of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 are excluded from the GAAP accrual. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires the Company to record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 17.5% of such cumulative amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains incentive fees payable or capital gains incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods. The resulting accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reversal of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future or any accrued capital gains incentive fee will become payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company reversed $0.0 million and $5.6 million of previously accrued capital gains incentive fees, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a $0.6 million and $10.6 million capital gains incentive fee accrual (prior to waivers), respectively. The Company did not have any cumulative accrued capital gains incentive fees payable as of June 30, 2020.

To ensure compliance with Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act, OCM entered into a two-year contractual fee waiver with the Company, which ended on October 17, 2019, pursuant to which OCM waived any management or incentive fees payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement that exceeded what would have been paid to the Former Adviser in the aggregate under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement. The contractual amount of fees permanently waived at the end of the two-year period was $3.9 million. Prior to the end of the two-year period, amounts potentially subject to waiver under the two-year contractual fee waiver were accrued quarterly based on a theoretical “liquidation basis.” As of September 30, 2019, the Company had accrued cumulative fee waivers of $9.1 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company reversed $5.2 million of
previously accrued fee waivers since the two-year fee waiver period has ended.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the accrued waiver balance and illustrates the impact of the end of the two-year contractual fee waiver period:

Note 13. Derivative Instruments
The Company enters into forward currency contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Company mitigate its counterparty risk, the Company entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement") with its derivative counterparty, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The ISDA Master Agreement permits a single net payment in the event of a default or similar event. As of June 30, 2020, no cash collateral has been pledged to cover obligations and no cash collateral has been received from the counterparty with respect to the Company's forward currency contracts.
Net unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency contracts are included in “net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” and net realized gains or losses on forward currency contracts are included in “net realized gains (losses)” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Forward currency contracts are considered undesignated derivative instruments.

Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include:
changes or potential disruptions in our operations, the economy, financial markets or political environment;
risks associated with possible disruption in our operations or the economy generally due to terrorism, natural disasters or the COVID-19 pandemic;
future changes in laws or regulations (including the interpretation of these laws and regulations by regulatory authorities) and conditions in our operating areas, particularly with respect to Business Development Companies or regulated investment companies, or RICs;

All dollar amounts in tables are in thousands, except share and per share amounts and as otherwise indicated.
Business Overview
We are a specialty finance company that looks to provide customized, one-stop credit solutions to companies with limited access to public or syndicated capital markets. We are a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a Business Development Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. In addition, we have qualified and elected to be treated as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, for tax purposes.
We are externally managed by Oaktree pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, as amended from time to time, or the Investment Advisory Agreement, between the Company and Oaktree. Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC, or the Oaktree Administrator, an affiliate of Oaktree, provides certain administrative and other services necessary for us to operate pursuant to an administration agreement, as amended from time to time, or the Administration Agreement.
71


Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by providing companies with flexible and innovative financing solutions, including first and second lien loans, unsecured and mezzanine loans, bonds, preferred equity and certain equity co-investments. We may also seek to generate capital appreciation and income through secondary investments at discounts to par in either private or syndicated transactions. Our portfolio may also include certain structured finance and other non-traditional structures. We invest in companies that typically possess business models we expect to be resilient in the future with underlying fundamentals that will provide strength in economic downturns. We intend to deploy capital across credit and economic cycles with a focus on long-term results, which we believe will enable us to build lasting partnerships with financial sponsors and management teams, and we may seek to opportunistically take advantage of dislocations in the financial markets and other situations that may benefit from Oaktree’s credit and structuring expertise, including during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sponsors may include financial sponsors, such as an institutional investor or a private equity firm, or a strategic entity seeking to invest in a portfolio company. Oaktree is generally focused on middle-market companies, which we define as companies with enterprise values of between $100 million and $750 million. We generally invest in securities that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as “high yield” and “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
Oaktree intends to continue to rotate our portfolio into investments that are better aligned with Oaktree's overall approach to credit investing and that it believes have the potential to generate attractive returns across market cycles (which we call "core investments"). Oaktree has performed a comprehensive review of our portfolio and categorized our portfolio into core investments, non-core performing investments and underperforming investments. Certain additional information on such categorization and our portfolio composition is included in investor presentations that we file with the SEC. Since an Oaktree affiliate became our investment adviser in October 2017, Oaktree and its affiliates have reduced the investments identified as non-core by over $700 million at fair value. Over time, Oaktree intends to rotate us out of the remaining non-core investments, which were approximately $134 million at fair value as of June 30, 2020. Oaktree periodically reviews designations of investments as core and non-core and may change such designations over time.
Business Environment and Developments

We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic may have lasting effects on the U.S. and global financial markets and may cause further economic uncertainties or deterioration in the performance of the middle market in the United States and worldwide. While the initial market disruptions have somewhat eased, the global economy continues to experience economic uncertainty. This uncertainty can impact the overall supply and demand of the market through changing spreads, deal terms and structures, and equity purchase price multiples.

Despite this economic uncertainty, we believe attractive risk-adjusted returns can be achieved by making loans to companies in the middle market. Given the breadth of the investment platform of Oaktree and its affiliates, we believe that we have the resources and experience to source, diligence and structure investments in these companies and are well placed to generate attractive returns for investors.

We have proactively taken a number of actions to evaluate and support our portfolio companies in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including outreach to a variety of management teams and sponsors. We have been in close contact with many of our portfolio companies to understand their liquidity and solvency positions. We believe that these efforts to closely monitor and identify vulnerable investments will allow us to address potential problems early and provide constructive solutions to our portfolio companies.
As of June 30, 2020, 86.2% of our debt investment portfolio (at fair value) and 87.3% of our debt investment portfolio (at cost) bore interest at floating rates indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, and/or an alternate base rate (e.g., prime rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly or monthly at the borrower’s option. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related decision of the U.S. Federal Reserve to reduce certain interest rates, LIBOR decreased beginning in March 2020. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will result in a decrease in our total investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income to the extent the decreases are not offset by an increase in the spread on our floating rate investments, a decrease in our interest expense or a reduction of our incentive fee on income. In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced the desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, is considering replacing U.S.-dollar LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. Although there have been a few issuances utilizing SOFR or the Sterling Over Night Index Average, an alternative reference rate that is based on transactions, it remains unknown whether these alternative reference rates will attain market acceptance as replacements for LIBOR.  If LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate any credit agreements extending beyond 2021 with our prospective portfolio companies that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate and may also need to renegotiate the terms of
72


the Credit Facility (as defined below), which matures in 2024. Certain of the loan agreements with our portfolio companies have included fallback language in the event that LIBOR becomes unavailable. This language generally provides that the administrative agent may identify a replacement reference rate, typically with the consent of (or prior consultation with) the borrower.  In certain cases, the administrative agent will be required to obtain the consent of either a majority of the lenders under the facility, or the consent of each lender, prior to identifying a replacement reference rate.  Certain of the loan agreements with our portfolio companies do not include any fallback language providing a mechanism for the parties to negotiate a new reference interest rate and will instead revert to the base rate in the event LIBOR ceases to exist. It remains unclear whether the cessation of LIBOR will be delayed due to COVID-19 or what form any delay may take, and there are no assurances that there will be a delay. It is also unclear what the duration and severity of COVID-19 will be, and whether this will impact LIBOR transition planning. COVID-19 may also slow regulators’ and others’ efforts to develop and implement alternative reference rates, which could make LIBOR transition planning more difficult, particularly if the cessation of LIBOR is not delayed but an alternative reference rate does not emerge as industry standard.
Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements have been made. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We are an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, or ASC 946.
Investment Valuation
We value our investments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, which defines fair value as the amount 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. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices over entity-specific inputs. Where observable prices or inputs are not available or reliable, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments’ complexity.
Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
 
Level 1 — Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data at the measurement date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
If inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, an investment's level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. This includes investment securities that are valued using "bid" and "ask" prices obtained from independent third party pricing services or directly from brokers. These investments may be classified as Level 3 because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities or may require adjustments for investment-specific factors or restrictions.
Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value. As such, Oaktree obtains and analyzes readily available market quotations provided by pricing vendors and brokers for all of our investments for which quotations are available. In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing vendors and brokers use observable market information, including both binding and non-binding indicative quotations.
We seek to obtain at least two quotations for the subject or similar securities, typically from pricing vendors. If we are unable to obtain two quotes from pricing vendors, or if the prices obtained from pricing vendors are not within our set
73


threshold, we seek to obtain a quote directly from a broker making a market for the asset. Oaktree evaluates the quotations provided by pricing vendors and brokers based on available market information, including trading activity of the subject or similar securities, or by performing a comparable security analysis to ensure that fair values are reasonably estimated. Oaktree also performs back-testing of valuation information obtained from pricing vendors and brokers against actual prices received in transactions. In addition to ongoing monitoring and back-testing, Oaktree performs due diligence procedures over pricing vendors to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process. Generally, we do not adjust any of the prices received from these sources.
If the quotations obtained from pricing vendors or brokers are determined to not be reliable or are not readily available, we value such investments using any of three different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is the transaction precedent technique, which utilizes recent or expected future transactions of the investment to determine fair value, to the extent applicable. The second valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value, or EV, of the portfolio company. EV means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The EV analysis is typically performed to determine (i) the value of equity investments, (ii) whether there is credit impairment for debt investments and (iii) the value for debt investments that we are deemed to control under the Investment Company Act. To estimate the EV of a portfolio company, Oaktree analyzes various factors, including the portfolio company’s historical and projected financial results, macroeconomic impacts on the company and competitive dynamics in the company’s industry. Oaktree also utilizes some or all of the following information based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company: (i) valuations of comparable public companies, (ii) recent sales of private and public comparable companies in similar industries or having similar business or earnings characteristics, (iii) purchase prices as a multiple of their earnings or cash flow, (iv) the portfolio company’s ability to meet its forecasts and its business prospects, (v) a discounted cash flow analysis, (vi) estimated liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets and (vii) offers from third parties to buy the portfolio company. We may probability weight potential sale outcomes with respect to a portfolio company when uncertainty exists as of the valuation date. The third valuation technique is a market yield technique, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments. In the market yield technique, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk, and we consider the current contractual interest rate, the capital structure and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the EV of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by us are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, we depend on primary market data, including newly funded transactions and industry-specific market movements, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.
In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that qualify as investment companies in accordance with ASC 946 may be valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value. Consistent with FASB guidance under ASC 820, these investments are excluded from the hierarchical levels. These investments are generally not redeemable.
We estimate the fair value of privately held warrants using a Black Scholes pricing model, which includes an analysis of various factors and subjective assumptions, including the current stock price (by using an EV analysis as described above), the expected period until exercise, expected volatility of the underlying stock price, expected dividends and the risk-free rate. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.
Our Board of Directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of our investments:
The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by Oaktree’s valuation team in conjunction with Oaktree’s portfolio management team and investment professionals responsible for each portfolio investment;
Preliminary valuations are then reviewed and discussed with management of Oaktree;
Separately, independent valuation firms engaged by our Board of Directors prepare valuations of our investments, on a selected basis, for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment, and submit the reports to us and provide such reports to Oaktree and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors;
Oaktree compares and contrasts its preliminary valuations to the valuations of the independent valuation firms and prepares a valuation report for the Audit Committee;
The Audit Committee reviews the preliminary valuations with Oaktree, and Oaktree responds and supplements the preliminary valuations to reflect any discussions between Oaktree and the Audit Committee;
The Audit Committee makes a recommendation to our full Board of Directors regarding the fair value of the investments in our portfolio; and
74


Our Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio.
The fair value of our investments as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has and will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of a portion of our portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment each quarter, and the Board of Directors may reasonably rely on that assistance. As of June 30, 2020, 92.8% of our portfolio at fair value was valued either based on market quotations, the transactions precedent approach or corroborated by independent valuation firms. However, our Board of Directors is responsible for the ultimate valuation of the portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to our valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.
As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, approximately 94.8% and 97.1%, respectively, of our total assets represented investments at fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Interest Income
Interest income, adjusted for accretion of original issue discount, or OID, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. We stop accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest cash payments will be collected. Cash interest payments received on investments may be recognized as income or a return of capital depending upon management’s judgment. A non-accrual investment is restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest are paid in cash, and the portfolio company, in management’s judgment, is likely to continue timely payment of its remaining obligations. As of June 30, 2020, there were three investments on which we had stopped accruing cash and/or payment in kind, or PIK, interest or OID income.
In connection with our investment in a portfolio company, we sometimes receive nominal cost equity that is valued as part of the negotiation process with the portfolio company. When we receive nominal cost equity, we allocate our cost basis in the investment between debt securities and the nominal cost equity at the time of origination. Any resulting discount from recording the loan, or otherwise purchasing a security at a discount, is accreted into interest income over the life of the loan.
For our secured borrowings, the interest earned on the entire loan balance is recorded within interest income and the interest earned by the buyer from the partial loan sales is recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
PIK Interest Income
Our investments in debt securities may contain PIK interest provisions. PIK interest, which typically represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. We generally cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if we do not expect the portfolio company to be able to pay all principal and interest due. Our decision to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security involves subjective judgments and determinations based on available information about a particular portfolio company, including whether the portfolio company is current with respect to its payment of principal and interest on its loans and debt securities; financial statements and financial projections for the portfolio company; our assessment of the portfolio company's business development success; information obtained by us in connection with periodic formal update interviews with the portfolio company's management and, if appropriate, the private equity sponsor; and information about the general economic and market conditions in which the portfolio company operates. Our determination to cease accruing PIK interest is generally made well before our full write-down of a loan or debt security. In addition, if it is subsequently determined that we will not be able to collect any previously accrued PIK interest, the fair value of the loans or debt securities would be reduced by the amount of such previously accrued, but uncollectible, PIK interest. The accrual of PIK interest on our debt investments increases the recorded cost bases of these investments in our Consolidated Financial Statements including for purposes of computing the capital gains incentive fee payable by us to Oaktree. To maintain our status as a RIC, certain income from PIK interest may be required to be distributed to our stockholders, even though we have not yet collected the cash and may never do so.

75


Fee Income
Oaktree or its affiliates may provide financial advisory services to portfolio companies and, in return, we may receive fees for capital structuring services. These fees are generally nonrecurring and are recognized by us upon the investment closing date. We may also receive additional fees in the ordinary course of business, including servicing, amendment and prepayment fees, which are classified as fee income and recognized as they are earned or the services are rendered.
We have also structured exit fees across certain of our portfolio investments to be received upon the future exit of those investments. These fees are typically paid to us upon the earliest to occur of (i) a sale of the borrower or substantially all of the assets of the borrower, (ii) the maturity date of the loan or (iii) the date when full prepayment of the loan occurs. The receipt of such fees is contingent upon the occurrence of one of the events listed above for each of the investments. These fees are included in net investment income over the life of the loan.
Dividend Income
We generally recognize dividend income on the record date. Distributions received from equity investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, we will not record distributions from such equity investments as dividend income unless there are sufficient earnings at the portfolio company prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.
Portfolio Composition
Our investments principally consist of loans, common and preferred equity and warrants in privately-held companies and Senior Loan Fund JV I, LLC, or SLF JV I, a joint venture through which we and Trinity Universal Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Kemper Corporation, or Kemper, co-invest in senior secured loans of middle-market companies and other corporate debt securities. Our loans are typically secured by a first, second or subordinated lien on the assets of the portfolio company and generally have terms of up to ten years (but an expected average life of between three and four years).
During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we originated $667.6 million of investment commitments in 51 new and 20 existing portfolio companies and funded $586.4 million of investments.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we received $379.3 million of proceeds from prepayments, exits, other paydowns and sales and exited 36 portfolio companies.

Loans and Debt Securities on Non-Accrual Status
As of June 30, 2020, non-accruals represented 1.3% of the debt portfolio at cost and 0.2% at fair value in three positions. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we placed one new investment on non-accrual status, representing 0.1% of the debt portfolio at both cost and fair value and we exited one investment that was previously on non-accrual status. As of each of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, there were three investments on which we had stopped accruing cash and/or PIK interest or OID income.
The percentages of our debt investments at cost and fair value by accrual status as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 were as follows:

Senior Loan Fund JV I, LLC
In May 2014, we entered into a limited liability company, or LLC, agreement with Kemper to form SLF JV I. We co-invest in senior secured loans of middle-market companies and other corporate debt securities with Kemper through our investment in SLF JV I. SLF JV I is managed by a four person Board of Directors, two of whom are selected by us and two of whom are selected by Kemper. All portfolio decisions and investment decisions in respect of SLF JV I must be approved by the SLF JV I investment committee, which consists of one representative selected by us and one representative selected by Kemper (with approval from a representative of each required). Since we do not have a controlling financial interest in SLF JV I, we do not consolidate SLF JV I.
SLF JV I is capitalized pro rata with LLC equity interests as transactions are completed and may be capitalized with additional subordinated notes issued to us and Kemper by SLF JV I. On December 28, 2018, we and Kemper directed the redemption of our holdings of mezzanine notes issued by SLF Repack Issuer 2016, LLC, a wholly-owned, special purpose issuer subsidiary of SLF JV I. Upon such redemption, the assets collateralizing the mezzanine notes, which consisted of equity interests of SLF JV I Funding LLC, or the Equity Interests, were distributed in-kind to each of us and Kemper, based upon our respective holdings of mezzanine notes. Upon such distribution, we and Kemper each then directed that a portion of our respective Equity Interests holdings be contributed to SLF JV I in exchange for LLC equity interests of SLF JV I and the remainder be applied as payment for the subordinated notes of SLF JV I.  SLF Repack Issuer 2016, LLC was dissolved following the foregoing redemption and liquidation. The subordinated notes issued by SLF JV I, or the SLF JV 1 Subordinated Notes, and the mezzanine notes issued by SLF Repack Issuer 2016, LLC, or the SLF Repack Notes, collectively are referred to as the SLF JV I Notes. Prior to their redemption on December 28, 2018, the SLF Repack Notes consisted of Class A mezzanine secured deferrable floating rate notes and Class B mezzanine secured deferrable fixed rate notes. The SLF JV I Subordinated Notes are (and the SLF Repack Notes were, prior to their redemption) senior in right of payment to SLF JV I LLC equity interests and subordinated in right of payment to SLF JV I’s secured debt. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we and Kemper owned, in the aggregate, 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF JV I and the outstanding SLF JV I Subordinated Notes.
SLF JV I has a senior revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, or, as amended, the Deutsche Bank I Facility, which permitted up to $250.0 million of borrowings (subject to borrowing base and other limitations) as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Borrowings under the Deutsche Bank I Facility are secured by all of the assets of SLF JV I Funding LLC, a special purpose financing subsidiary of SLF JV I. As of June 30, 2020, the reinvestment period of the Deutsche Bank I Facility was scheduled to expire June 28, 2021 and the maturity date for the Deutsche Bank I Facility was June 29, 2026. As of June 30, 2020, borrowings under the Deutsche Bank I Facility accrued interest at a rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 1.85% per annum during the reinvestment period and 3-month LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum during the amortization period. Under the Deutsche Bank I Facility, $173.9 million and $170.2 million of borrowings were outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
79


On July 10, 2020, SLF JV I amended the Deutsche Bank I Facility to (a) establish a waiver period beginning on July 10, 2020 and ending 180 days thereafter (the “Waiver Period”), during which the facility agent is restricted from revaluing certain collateral obligations where the change in valuation is caused by or results from a business disruption due primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic and (b) modify the minimum utilization percentage from 75% to 50% until 90 days after the end of the Waiver Period.
As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, SLF JV I had total assets of $315.4 million and $360.9 million, respectively. SLF JV I's portfolio primarily consisted of senior secured loans to 53 and 51 portfolio companies as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The portfolio companies in SLF JV I are in industries similar to those in which we may invest directly. As of June 30, 2020, our investment in SLF JV I consisted of LLC equity interests and SLF JV I Subordinated Notes of $110.0 million in aggregate at fair value. As of September 30, 2019, our investment in SLF JV I consisted of LLC equity interests and SLF JV I Subordinated Notes of $126.3 million in aggregate at fair value.
As of each of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we and Kemper had funded approximately $165.5 million to SLF JV I, of which $144.8 million was from us. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we and Kemper had the option to fund additional SLF JV I Notes, subject to additional equity funding to SLF JV I. As of each of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we had commitments to fund LLC equity interests in SLF JV I of $17.5 million, of which $1.3 million was unfunded.
Below is a summary of SLF JV I's portfolio, followed by a listing of the individual loans in SLF JV I's portfolio as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019:

(1) Represents the current interest rate as of June 30, 2020. All interest rates are payable in cash, unless otherwise noted.
(2) The interest rate on the principal balance outstanding for all floating rate loans is indexed to LIBOR and/or an alternate base rate (e.g., prime rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. For each of these loans, we have provided the applicable margin over LIBOR or the alternate base rate based on each respective credit agreement and the cash interest rate as of period end. All the LIBOR shown above is in U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2020, the reference rates for SLF JV I's variable rate loans were the 30-day LIBOR at 0.18%, the 60-day LIBOR at 0.24%, the 90-day LIBOR at 0.31%, the 180-day LIBOR at 0.36% and the PRIME at 3.25%. Most loans include an interest floor, which generally ranges from 0% to 1%.

Discussion and Analysis of Results and Operations
Results of Operations
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations includes net investment income, net realized gains (losses) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends and fees and net expenses. Net realized gains (losses) is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of investment related assets and liabilities and their stated costs. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is the
86


net change in the fair value of our investment related assets and liabilities carried at fair value during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation (depreciation) when gains or losses are realized.
Comparison of three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019
Total Investment Income
Total investment income includes interest on our investments, fee income and dividend income.
Total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $34.4 million and $36.7 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, this amount consisted of $32.3 million of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $2.2 million of PIK interest), $1.8 million of fee income and $0.3 million of dividend income. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, this amount consisted of $34.1 million of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $1.2 million of PIK interest), $1.8 million of fee income and $0.7 million of dividend income. The decrease of $2.3 million, or 6.2%, in our total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, was due primarily to a $1.8 million decrease in interest income, which was attributable to decreases in LIBOR on our floating rate investments and a $0.5 million decrease in dividend income from our investment in First Star Speir Aviation Limited.
Total investment income for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $99.5 million and $113.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, this amount consisted of $93.7 million of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $5.3 million of PIK interest), $4.9 million of fee income and $0.9 million of dividend income. For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, this amount consisted of $107.3 million of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $4.3 million of PIK interest), $4.2 million of fee income and $1.7 million of dividend income. The decrease of $13.7 million, or 12.1%, in our total investment income for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019, was due primarily to a $13.6 million decrease in interest income, which was attributable to lower levels of OID accretion, primarily related to $9.9 million of non-recurring OID accretion on one of our investments during the nine months ended June 30, 2019, decreases in LIBOR on our floating rate investments and a $0.8 million decrease in dividend income from our investment in First Star Speir Aviation Limited, partially offset by higher prepayment and exit fees.
Expenses
Net expenses (expenses net of fee waivers) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were $17.6 million and $20.1 million, respectively. Net expenses decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, by $2.4 million, or 12.1%, due primarily to a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense primarily driven by decreases to LIBOR and a $1.0 million decrease in base management fees and incentive fees (net of fee waivers) primarily driven by a $0.6 million decrease in Part II incentive fees and a $0.6 million reversal of previously accrued waived fees in the prior quarter.
Net expenses (expenses net of fee waivers) for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were $52.1 million and $61.6 million, respectively. Net expenses decreased for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019, by $9.5 million, or 15.4%, due primarily to a $5.3 million decrease in interest expense resulting from decreases to LIBOR during the period and a $3.4 million decrease in base management fees and incentive fees (net of fee waivers), primarily driven by a $1.3 million decrease in Part I incentive fees due to lower investment income, a $1.2 million reversal of previously accrued waived fees in the prior year and $0.7 million of Part II incentive fees (net of waivers) in the prior year.
Net Investment Income
As a result of the $2.3 million decrease in total investment income and the $2.4 million decrease in net expenses, net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased by $0.2 million, or 1.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.
As a result of the $13.7 million decrease in total investment income and the $9.5 million decrease in net expenses, net investment income for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $4.2 million, or 8.1%, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019.

Realized Gain (Loss)
Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or redemption of investments, secured borrowings and foreign currency and the cost basis without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments written-off during the period, net of recoveries. Realized losses may also be recorded in connection with our determination that certain investments are considered worthless securities and/or meet the conditions for loss recognition per the applicable tax rules.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded aggregate net realized gains (losses) of $2.8 million and $(19.8) million, respectively, primarily in connection with the exits or restructurings of various investments. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded aggregate net realized gains (losses) of $(20.4) million and $23.3 million, respectively, in connection with the exits or restructurings of various investments. See “Note 9. Realized Gains or Losses and Net Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation” in the notes to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for more details regarding investment realization events for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation is the net change in the fair value of our investments, secured borrowings and foreign currency 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, 2020 and 2019, we recorded net unrealized appreciation of $100.6 million and $23.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, this consisted of $85.2 million of net unrealized appreciation on debt investments, $11.8 million of net unrealized appreciation on equity investments and $3.9 million of net unrealized appreciation related to exited investments (a portion of which results in a reclassification to realized losses), partially offset by $0.4 million of net unrealized depreciation of foreign currency forward contracts. The unrealized appreciation on investments during the quarter was largely due to price increases on liquid debt investments and the impact of tighter credit spreads on private debt investment valuations following the improvement in broader credit market conditions.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, this consisted of $23.8 million of net unrealized appreciation related to exited investments (a portion of which results in a reclassification to realized losses) and $2.5 million of net unrealized appreciation on debt investments, partially offset by $2.1 million of net unrealized depreciation on equity investments and $0.8 million of net unrealized depreciation of foreign currency forward contracts.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $(60.1) million and $37.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, this consisted of $42.5 million of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments and $39.3 million of net unrealized depreciation on equity investments, partially offset by $21.3 million of net unrealized appreciation related to exited investments (a portion of which resulted in a reclassification to realized losses) and $0.4 million of net unrealized appreciation of foreign currency forward contracts.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, this consisted of $44.3 million of net unrealized appreciation related to exited investments (a portion of which results in a reclassification to realized losses) and $11.8 million of net unrealized appreciation on equity investments, partially offset by $17.8 million of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments and $0.4 million of net unrealized depreciation of foreign currency forward contracts.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have a number of alternatives available to fund our investment portfolio and our operations, including raising equity, increasing or refinancing debt and funding from operational cash flow. We generally expect to fund the growth of our investment portfolio through additional debt and equity capital, which may include securitizing a portion of our investments. We cannot assure you, however, that our efforts to grow our portfolio will be successful. For example, our common stock has generally traded at prices below net asset value for the past several years, and we are currently limited in our ability to raise additional equity at prices below the then-current net asset value per share. We intend to continue to generate cash primarily from cash flows from operations, including interest earned, and future borrowings. We intend to fund our future distribution obligations through operating cash flow or with funds obtained through future equity and debt offerings or credit facilities, as we deem appropriate.
88


Our primary uses of funds are investments in our targeted asset classes and cash distributions to holders of our common stock. We may from time to time repurchase or redeem some or all of our outstanding notes in open-market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. At a special meeting of our stockholders held on June 28, 2019, our stockholders approved the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act to us effective as of June 29, 2019. As a result of the reduced asset coverage requirement, we can incur $2 of debt for each $1 of equity as compared to $1 of debt for each $1 of equity. As of June 30, 2020, we had $766.8 million in senior securities and our asset coverage ratio was 211.3%. Our target debt to equity ratio is 0.85x to 1.0x (i.e., one dollar of equity for each $0.85 to $1.00 of debt outstanding) as we plan to continue to opportunistically deploy capital into the markets. As of June 30, 2020, our debt to equity ratio was 0.89x.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $35.3 million. During that period, we used $207.7 million of net cash from operating activities, primarily from funding $576.9 million of investments, a $61.9 million of net decrease in payables from unsettled transactions, partially offset by $388.3 million of principal payments and sale proceeds received and the cash activities related to $47.4 million of net investment income. During the same period, net cash provided by financing activities was $243.1 million, primarily consisting of $152.0 million of net borrowings under the Credit Facility (as defined below) and $136.2 million net incurrence of unsecured notes, partially offset by $38.8 million of cash distributions paid to our stockholders, $4.8 million of deferred financing costs paid and $1.4 million of repurchases of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan, or DRIP.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $7.9 million. During that period, we received $135.8 million of net cash from operating activities, primarily from $467.3 million of principal payments and sale proceeds received and the cash activities related to $51.6 million of net investment income, partially offset by funding $351.7 million of investments. During the same period, net cash used in financing activities was $143.9 million, primarily consisting of $128.8 million of net borrowings under the Credit Facility (as defined below), $228.8 million of repayments of unsecured notes, $0.8 million of repayments of secured borrowings, $39.1 million of cash distributions paid to our stockholders and $1.0 million of repurchases of common stock under our DRIP.
As of June 30, 2020, we had $50.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, portfolio investments (at fair value) of $1.6 billion, $8.8 million of interest, dividends and fees receivable, $233.2 million of undrawn capacity on the Credit Facility (subject to borrowing base and other limitations), $6.9 million of net receivables from unsettled transactions, $466.8 million of borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility, $294.2 million of unsecured notes payable (net of unamortized financing costs and unaccreted discount) and unfunded commitments to portfolio companies of $154.6 million. As of June 30, 2020, we have analyzed cash and cash equivalents, availability under the Credit Facility, the ability to rotate out of certain assets and amounts of unfunded commitments that could be drawn and believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities in the current economic climate.
As of September 30, 2019, we had $15.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, portfolio investments (at fair value) of $1.4 billion, $11.2 million of interest, dividends and fees receivable, $385.2 of undrawn capacity on the Credit Facility (subject to borrowing base and other limitations), $55.0 million of net payables from unsettled transactions, $314.8 million of borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility, $158.5 million of unsecured notes payable (net of unamortized financing costs) and unfunded commitments of $88.3 million.

Regulated Investment Company Status and Distributions

We have qualified and elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for tax purposes. As long as we continue to qualify as a RIC, we will not be subject to tax on our investment company taxable income (determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) or realized net capital gains, to the extent that such taxable income or gains is distributed, or deemed to be distributed as dividends, to stockholders on a timely basis.
Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Distributions declared and paid by us in a taxable year may differ from taxable income for that taxable year as such distributions may include the distribution of taxable income derived from the current taxable year or the distribution of taxable income derived from the prior taxable year carried forward into and distributed in the current taxable year. Distributions also may include returns of capital.
To maintain RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, distribute dividends, with respect to each taxable year, of an amount at least equal to 90% of our investment company taxable income (i.e., our net ordinary income and our realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any), determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. As a RIC, we are also subject to a federal excise tax, based on distribution requirements of our taxable income on a calendar year basis. We anticipate timely distribution of our taxable income in accordance with tax rules. We did not incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar years 2018 and 2019. We may incur a federal excise tax in future years.
We intend to distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (which includes our taxable interest and fee income) to our stockholders. The covenants contained in the Credit Facility may prohibit us from making distributions to our stockholders, and, as a result, could hinder our ability to satisfy the distribution requirement associated with our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. In addition, we may retain for investment some or all of our net capital gains (i.e., realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses) and treat such amounts as deemed distributions to our stockholders. If we do this, our stockholders will be treated as if they received actual distributions of the capital gains we retained and then reinvested the net after-tax proceeds in our common stock. Our stockholders also may be eligible to claim tax credits (or, in certain circumstances, tax refunds) equal to their allocable share of the tax we paid on the capital gains deemed distributed to them. To the extent our taxable earnings for a fiscal and taxable year fall below the total amount of our dividend distributions for that fiscal and taxable year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders.
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 these distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage test for borrowings applicable to us as a Business Development Company under the Investment Company Act and due to provisions in our credit facilities and debt instruments. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our taxable income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions or distributions at a particular level.
A RIC may treat a distribution of its own stock as fulfilling its RIC distribution requirements if each stockholder elects to receive his or her entire distribution in either cash or stock of the RIC, subject to certain limitations regarding the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders. If these and certain other requirements are met, for U.S federal income tax purposes, the amount of the dividend paid in stock will be equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of stock.
93


We may generate qualified net interest income or qualified net short-term capital gains that may be exempt from U.S. withholding tax when distributed to foreign stockholders. A RIC is permitted to designate distributions of qualified net interest income and qualified short-term capital gains as exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to non-U.S. shareholders with proper documentation. The following table, which may be subject to change as we finalize our annual tax filings, lists the percentage of qualified net interest income and qualified short-term capital gains for the year ended September 30, 2019, our last tax year end.
Year EndedQualified Net Interest IncomeQualified Short-Term Capital Gains
September 30, 201989.6 %—  
We have adopted a DRIP that provides for the reinvestment of any distributions that we declare in cash on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if our Board of Directors declares a cash distribution, then our stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving a cash distribution. If our shares are trading at a premium to net asset value, we typically issue new shares to implement the DRIP, with such shares issued at the greater of the most recently computed net asset value per share of our common stock or 95% of the current market value per share of our common stock on the payment date for such distribution. If our shares are trading at a discount to net asset value, we typically purchase shares in the open market in connection with our obligations under the DRIP.
Related Party Transactions
We have entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with Oaktree and the Administration Agreement with Oaktree Administrator, an affiliate of Oaktree. Mr. John B. Frank, an interested member of our Board of Directors, has an indirect pecuniary interest in Oaktree. Oaktree is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, that is partially and indirectly owned by Oaktree Capital Group, LLC. See “Note 11. Related Party Transactions – Investment Advisory Agreement” and “– Administrative Services” in the notes to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent Developments
Distribution Declaration
On July 31, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.105 per share, payable in cash on September 30, 2020 to stockholders of record on September 15, 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in the valuations of our investment portfolio and interest rates.
Valuation Risk
Our investments may not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors, with the assistance of the Audit Committee and Oaktree. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith and valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of management judgment. In addition, our valuation methodology utilizes discount rates in part in valuing our investments, and changes in those discount rates may have an impact on the valuation of our investments. Accordingly, valuations by us do not necessarily represent the amounts which may eventually be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments. Estimated fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investment existed, and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect both our cost of funding and our interest income from portfolio investments, cash and cash equivalents and idle fund investments. Our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs. Our investment income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates, to the extent our debt investments include floating interest rates.
As of June 30, 2020, 86.2% of our debt investment portfolio (at fair value) and 87.3% of our debt investment portfolio (at cost) bore interest at floating rates. The composition of our floating rate debt investments by interest rate floor as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was as follows:

Based on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2020, the following table shows the approximate annualized net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates, assuming no changes in our investment and capital structure. However, there can be no assurances our portfolio companies will be able to meet their contractual obligations at any or all levels on increases in interest rates.

 __________
(1) The effect of a greater than 200 basis point decrease is limited by interest rate floors on certain investments.
We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on this review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates. The following table shows a comparison of the interest rate base for our interest-bearing cash and outstanding investments, at principal, and our outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in timely identifying, recording, processing, summarizing and reporting any material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
Although we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of our operations in the normal course of business or otherwise, we are currently not a party to any pending material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019.
Global economic, political and market conditions caused by the current public health crisis have (and in the future could further) adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and those of our portfolio companies.

A novel strain of coronavirus initially appeared in China in late 2019 and rapidly spread to other countries, including the United States.  In an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus, governments in major jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, South Korea and China, placed restrictions on travel, issued “stay at home” orders and ordered the temporary closure of certain businesses, such as factories and retail stores.  As such restrictions and closures have impacted supply chains, consumer demand and/or the operations of many business, uncertainty surrounding the full economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic contributed to significant market volatility and disruption, which may have long-term effects on the U.S. and global financial markets and have caused (and may cause further) economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide.

Disruptions in the capital markets have increased the spread between the yields realized on risk-free and higher risk securities, resulting in illiquidity in parts of the capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial sector and re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated market.  These and any other unfavorable economic conditions created by the coronavirus and related restrictions and closures could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. These events have negatively impacted the fair value of the investments that we hold and could limit our investment originations (including as a result of the investment professionals of our investment adviser diverting their time to the restructuring of certain investments), negatively impact our operating results and limit our ability to grow.  In addition, our success depends in substantial part on the management, skill and acumen of our investment adviser, whose operations may be adversely impacted, including through quarantine measures and travel restrictions imposed on its investment professionals or service providers, or any related health issues of such investment professionals or service providers.

In addition, the restrictions and closures and related market conditions resulted in certain of our portfolio companies halting or significantly curtailing operations and negatively affected the supply chains of certain of our portfolio companies.  The financial results of middle-market companies, like those in which we invest, experienced deterioration, which could ultimately lead to difficulty in meeting debt service requirements and an increase in defaults, and further deterioration will further depress the outlook for those companies. Further, adverse economic conditions decreased and may in the future decrease the value of collateral securing some of our loans and the value of our equity investments. Such conditions have required and may in the future require us to modify the payment terms of our investments, including changes in PIK interest provisions and/or cash interest rates. The performance of certain of our portfolio companies has been, and in the future may be, negatively impacted by these economic or other conditions, which can result in our receipt of reduced interest income from our portfolio companies and/or realized and unrealized losses related to our investments, and, in turn, may adversely affect distributable income and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, as governments ease COVID-19 related restrictions, certain of our portfolio companies may experience increases in health and safety expenses, payroll costs and other operating expenses.

As the potential impact of the coronavirus remains difficult to predict, the extent to which the coronavirus could negatively affect our and our portfolio companies’ operating results or the duration of any potential business or supply-chain disruption is uncertain. Any potential impact to our results of operations will depend to a large extent on future developments
98


regarding the duration and severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by governments and their citizens to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, all of which are beyond our control.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions, certain of our portfolio companies are distressed, and we have opportunistically acquired the securities and obligations of distressed companies.  These and future investments in distressed companies are subject to significant risks, including lack of income, extraordinary expenses, uncertainty with respect to satisfaction of debt, lower-than-expected investment values or income potentials and resale restrictions.

We have acquired, and may in the future acquire, the securities and other obligations of distressed or bankrupt companies, including opportunistic acquisitions during the COVID-19 pandemic. At times, distressed debt obligations may not produce income and may require us to bear certain extraordinary expenses (including legal, accounting, valuation and transaction expenses) in order to protect and recover our investment. Therefore, when we invest in distressed debt, our ability to achieve current income for our stockholders may be diminished, particularly where the portfolio company has negative EBITDA.

We also are subject to significant uncertainty as to when and in what manner and for what value the distressed debt we acquire will eventually be satisfied whether through a refinancing, restructuring, liquidation, an exchange offer or plan of reorganization involving the distressed debt securities or a payment of some amount in satisfaction of the obligation. In addition, even if an exchange offer is made or plan of reorganization is adopted with respect to distressed debt held by us, there can be no assurance that the securities or other assets received by us in connection with such exchange offer or plan of reorganization will not have a lower value or income potential than may have been anticipated when the investment was made.

Moreover, any securities received by us upon completion of an exchange offer or plan of reorganization may be restricted as to resale. As a result of our participation in negotiations with respect to any exchange offer or plan of reorganization with respect to an issuer of distressed debt, we may be restricted from disposing of such securities.
