(Unaudited)
(a) | Represents amortized cost for fixed income securities and cost for preferred and common stock, limited partnership/limited liability company interests and equity warrants/options. |
(b) | Fair value is determined by or under the direction of the Companys Board of Directors. See Note 2 for further details. |
(c) | Non-income producing equity securities at March 31, 2016. |
(d) | Non-accrual status at March 31, 2016 and therefore non-income producing. At March 31, 2016, the aggregate fair value and amortized cost of the Companys debt investments on non-accrual status represents 7.8% and 15.3%, respectively. |
(e) | Approximately 80% of the senior secured loans in the Companys portfolio bear interest at a floating rate that may be determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other base rate (commonly the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrowers option. In addition, approximately 97% of such senior secured loans have floors of 0.50% to 1.25%. The borrower under a senior secured loan generally has the option to select from interest reset periods of one, two, three or six months and may alter that selection at the end of any reset period. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate at March 31, 2016 of all contracts within the specified loan facility. |
(f) | Transaction and other information for non-controlled, affiliated investments under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whereby the Company owns 5% or more (but not more than 25%) of the portfolio companys outstanding voting securities. |
(g) | Transaction and other information for controlled investments under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whereby the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio companys outstanding voting securities. |
(h) | Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. |
(i) | Original purchase denominated in Canadian dollars. |
(j) | Security is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities may be resold in transactions that are exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. In the aggregate, these securities represent 19.0% of the Companys net assets at March 31, 2016. |
(k) | Investments that the Company has determined are not qualifying assets under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets. The status of these assets under the 1940 Act may be subject to change. The Company monitors the status of these assets on an ongoing basis. |
(l) | The Company is the sole stockholder of BKC ASW Blocker, Inc., a consolidated subsidiary, which is the beneficiary of less than 5% of the voting securities of Sentry Security Systems Holdings, LLC and thus a non-controlled, non-affiliated investment. |
(m) | The Company is the sole stockholder of BKC ASW Blocker, Inc., a consolidated subsidiary, which is the beneficiary of less than 5% of the voting securities of U.S. Well Services, LLC and thus a non-controlled, non-affiliated investment. |
(n) | The Company is the sole stockholder of BKC ASW Blocker, Inc., a consolidated subsidiary, which is the beneficiary of less than 5% of the voting securities of Westward Dough Holdings, LLC and thus a non-controlled, non-affiliated investment. |
(o) | The Company is the sole stockholder of BCIC-MBS, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary, which is the beneficiary of more than 25% of the voting securities of MBS Group Holdings Inc. and thus a controlled investment. |
(p) | Interest may be paid in cash or payment-in-kind (PIK), or a combination thereof which is generally at the option of the borrower. PIK earned is included in the cost basis of the security. PIK represented approximately 6.3% of interest income earned for the three months ended March 31, 2016. In accordance with the Companys policy, PIK may be recorded on an effective yield basis. |

(a) | Unaudited |
(b) | Represents amortized cost for fixed income securities and cost for preferred and common stock, limited partnership/limited liability company interests and equity warrants/options. |
(c) | Fair value is determined by or under the direction of the Companys Board of Directors. See Note 2 for further details. |
(d) | Non-income producing equity securities at December 31, 2015. |
(e) | Non-accrual status at December 31, 2015 and therefore non-income producing. At December 31, 2015, the aggregate fair value and amortized cost of the Companys debt investments on non-accrual status represents 1.4% and 4.2% of total debt investments at fair value and amortized cost, respectively. |
(f) | Transaction and other information for non-controlled, affiliated investments under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whereby the Company owns 5% or more (but not more than 25%) of the portfolio companys outstanding voting securities. |
(g) | Approximately 81% of the senior secured loans in the Companys portfolio companies bear interest at a floating rate that may be determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other base rate (commonly the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrowers option. In addition, approximately 100% of such senior secured loans have floors of 0.50% to 1.25%. The borrower under a senior secured loan generally has the option to select from interest reset periods of one, two, three or six months and may alter that selection at the end of any reset period. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2015 of all contracts within the specified loan facility. |
(h) | Transaction and other information for controlled investments under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whereby the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio companys outstanding voting securities. |
(i) | Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. |
(j) | Original purchase denominated in Canadian dollars. |
(k) | Security is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities may be resold in transactions that are exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. In the aggregate, these securities represent 13.3% of the Companys net assets at December 31, 2015. |
(l) | BDCs are required to invest at least 70% of their total assets primarily in securities of private or thinly traded U.S. public companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government securities and other high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. The securities referenced represent either fully or partially non-qualified assets for purposes of this requirement. |
(m) | The Company is the sole stockholder of BKC ASW Blocker, Inc., a consolidated subsidiary, which is the beneficiary of less than 5% of the voting securities of Sentry Security Systems Holdings, LLC and thus a non-controlled, non-affiliated investment. |
(n) | The Company is the sole stockholder of BKC ASW Blocker, Inc., a consolidated subsidiary, which is the beneficiary of less than 5% of the voting securities of U.S. Well Services, LLC and thus a non-controlled, non-affiliated investment. |
(o) | The Company is the sole stockholder of BKC ASW Blocker, Inc., a consolidated subsidiary, which is the beneficiary of less than 5% of the voting securities of Westward Dough Holdings, LLC and thus a non-controlled, non-affiliated investment. |
(p) | The Company is the sole stockholder of BCIC-MBS, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary, which is the beneficiary of more than 25% of the voting securities of MBS Group Holdings Inc. and thus a controlled investment. |
(q) | Interest may be paid in cash or PIK, or a combination thereof which is generally at the option of the borrower. PIK earned is included in the cost basis of the security. PIK represented approximately 4.8% of interest income earned for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. In accordance with the Companys policy, PIK may be recorded on an effective yield basis. |

BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Organization
BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the Company), was organized as a Delaware corporation on April 13, 2005 and was initially funded on July 25, 2005. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). In addition, for tax purposes the Company has qualified and has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (RIC) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code).
The Companys investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in middle-market companies in the form of senior and junior secured and unsecured debt securities and loans, each of which may include an equity component, and by making direct preferred, common and other equity investments in such companies.
2. Significant accounting policies
Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company is an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 946, Financial Services-Investment Company (ASC 946).
Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted herein. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 11, 2016.
The interim financial information at March 31, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim information includes all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys results for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ and such differences could be material.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which were established to hold certain investments of the Company. The Company owns 100% of each subsidiary and, as such, the subsidiaries are consolidated into the Companys consolidated financial statements. The subsidiaries hold investments which are treated as pass through entities for tax purposes. By investing through these 100% owned subsidiaries, the Company is able to benefit from corporate tax treatment for these entities and thereby create a tax structure that is more advantageous with respect to the RIC status of the Company. Transactions between the Company and subsidiaries, to the extent they occur, are eliminated in consolidation.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.
24
Investments
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date unless there are substantial conditions to the purchase. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized. Realized gains or losses on the disposition of investments are calculated using the specific identification method.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations unless they are deemed not to represent fair value. The Company obtains market quotations, when available, from an independent pricing service or one or more broker-dealers or market makers and utilizes the average of the range of bid and ask quotations. Debt and equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Companys Board of Directors.
Because the Company expects that there will not be a readily available market for substantially all of the investments in its portfolio, the Company expects to value substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors using a consistently applied valuation process in accordance with a documented valuation policy that has been reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. Due to the inherent uncertainty and subjectivity of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Companys investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize.
In addition, changes in the market environment and other events may have differing impacts on the market quotations used to value some of the Companys investments than on the fair values of the Companys investments for which market quotations are not readily available. Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value in certain circumstances where BlackRock Advisors, LLC, the Companys investment advisor (the Advisor), believes that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser or the market for a particular security cause current market quotations to not reflect the fair value of the security. Examples of these events could include cases where a security trades infrequently causing a quoted purchase or sale price to become stale, where there is a forced sale by a distressed seller, where market quotations vary substantially among market makers, or where there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread.
With respect to the Companys investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, the Board of Directors has approved a multi-step valuation process applied each quarter, as described below:
(i) The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially evaluated and rated by the investment professionals of the Advisor responsible for the portfolio investment;
(ii) The investment professionals provide recent portfolio company financial statements and other reporting materials to independent valuation firms engaged by the Board of Directors, such firms conduct independent appraisals each quarter and their preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with senior management of the Advisor;
(iii) The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the preliminary valuations prepared by the independent valuation firms; and
(iv) The Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Advisor, the respective independent valuation firms and the Audit Committee.
25
Those investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in determining the fair value of its investments include, as relevant and among other factors: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments, (e.g. non-performance risk), its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, the Companys principal market (as the reporting entity) and enterprise values.
Until the end of the second calendar quarter following its acquisition, each unquoted investment in a new portfolio company generally is held at amortized cost, which the Advisor believes approximates fair value under the circumstances. As of that date, an independent valuation firm conducts an initial independent appraisal of the investment.
ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820-10), issued by the FASB, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. See Note 10 for further details.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include short-term liquid overnight investments with original maturities of three months or less and may not be insured by the FDIC or may exceed federally insured limits.
Revenue recognition
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes amortization of discounts and accretion of premiums. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are amortized/accreted into interest income over the life of the respective security. Discounts and premiums are determined based on the cash flows expected to be received for a particular investment upon maturity.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and is adjusted to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. For loans and securities with payment-in-kind (PIK) income, which represents contractual interest or dividends accrued and added to the principal balance and generally due at maturity, such income is accrued only to the extent that the Advisor believes that the PIK income is likely to be collected. To maintain the Companys status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.
Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, commitment and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned. In instances where the Company does not perform significant services in connection with the related investment, fees paid to the Company may be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the investment. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees are recorded as income.
U.S. Federal income taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.
26
In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, the Company is required to distribute annually to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid federal excise taxes, we must distribute annually at least 98% of our ordinary income and 98.2% of net capital gains from the current year and any undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from the preceding years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. If the Company chooses to do so, all other things being equal, this would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required.
Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in-capital or accumulated net realized gain (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax treatment of certain loans and the tax characterization of income and non-deductible expenses. These differences are generally determined in conjunction with the preparation of the Companys annual RIC tax return.
Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified among the Companys capital accounts. In addition, the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP.
The final tax characterization of distributions is determined after the fiscal year and is reported in the Companys annual report to shareholders. Distributions can be characterized as ordinary income, capital gains and/or return of capital. To the extent that distributions exceed the Companys current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess may be treated as a non-taxable return of capital. Distributions that exceed a Companys taxable income but do not exceed the Companys current and accumulated earnings and profits, may be classified as ordinary income which is taxable to shareholders.
ASC 740-10, Income Taxes (ASC 740-10) clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an uncertain tax position is required to meet before tax benefits associated with such uncertain tax position are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Based on its analysis of its tax position, the Company has concluded that it does not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10.
The Company files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Companys U.S. federal income tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2015. The statute of limitations on the Companys state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
At December 31, 2015, the Company had a net capital loss carryforward of $32,920,297, which can be used to offset future capital gains. If not utilized against future gains, the entire amount is due to expire on December 31, 2018.
Distributions to Common Stockholders
Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board of Directors. Net realized capital gains, if any, generally are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.
The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of distributions on behalf of stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Board of Directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash distribution, then stockholders who have not opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock, rather than receiving the cash distributions.
27
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis:
(i) | market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilitiesat the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and |
(ii) | purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expensesat the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses. |
Although net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, 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 fair values of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method.
Equity Offering Expenses
The Company records registration expenses related to its shelf registration statement and related SEC filings as prepaid assets. These expenses are charged as a reduction of capital upon utilization, in accordance with ASC 946.
Non-Accrual Loans
Loans or debt securities are placed on non-accrual status, as a general matter, when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest generally is reversed when a loan or debt security is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans or debt securities may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment. Non-accrual loans and debt securities are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in managements judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this treatment if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03), which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under ASU 2015-03, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The Company has adopted ASU 2015-03 to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements for all outstanding debt, except that incurred under our Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the Credit Facility), which the Company will continue to present as an asset on our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. In accordance with the transitional provisions of ASU 2015-03, the Company has reclassified the debt issuance costs for all outstanding debt except that incurred under our Credit Facility, for fiscal year 2015 retrospectively. The debt issuance costs that are now presented as a deduction from the carrying value are $1,692,076 and $1,923,930 for the respective 2016 and 2015 periods presented. Amortization of $432,515 and $513,357 related to debt issuance costs are now presented as interest expense within the consolidated statements of operations. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 had no impact on the Companys net asset value.

3. Agreements and related party transactions
Investment management agreement
At a Special Meeting of the Companys Stockholders, held on February 18, 2015, the Companys stockholders approved a new investment management agreement (Management Agreement) between the Company and BlackRock Advisors, LLC to permit the Advisor to serve as the Companys investment adviser following the completion of the sale of certain assets related to managing the Company from the Companys previous investment adviser, BlackRock Kelso Capital Advisors LLC, to the Advisor (the Transaction). The Transaction was completed on March 6, 2015 and, pursuant to the new investment management agreement, dated as of March 6, 2015, the Companys investment activities are currently managed by the Advisor. Prior to the consummation of the Transaction, the Company had entered into an investment management agreement with BlackRock Kelso Capital Advisors LLC, the Companys previous adviser, which is referred to as the previous agreement. The Companys current investment management agreement has the same management and incentive fees as the previous agreement until March 6, 2017 and thereafter will have different management and incentive fees.
Base Management Fee
Under the current investment management agreement, the Advisor, subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations and provides the Company with investment advisory services. For providing these services, the Advisor receives, until March 6, 2017, a base management fee at an annual rate of 2.0% of total assets, including any assets acquired with the proceeds of leverage, payable quarterly in arrears. After March 6, 2017, the Advisor will receive a base management fee at an annual rate of 1.75% of total assets (excluding cash), including any assets acquired with the proceeds of leverage, payable quarterly in arrears based on total asset valuation at the end of the prior quarter.
The investment management agreement became effective on March 6, 2015. Unless earlier terminated, the investment management agreement will remain in effect for a period of two years from the date it first became effective and will remain in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually by the Board of Directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of outstanding voting securities, including, in either case, approval by a majority of the directors who are not interested persons.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Advisor earned $5,690,490 and $6,370,630, respectively, in base management fees under the investment management agreement.
Incentive Management Fee Until March 6, 2017
The current investment management agreement provides that the Advisor or its affiliates may be entitled to an incentive management fee (the Incentive Fee) as described below under certain circumstances until March 6, 2017. The Incentive Fee is calculated in the same manner as the Incentive Fee in the previous investment management agreement. The determination of the Incentive Fee, as described in more detail below, will result in the Advisor or its affiliates receiving no Incentive Fee payments if returns to stockholders do not meet an 8.0% annualized rate of return during the applicable fee measurement period, and will result in the Advisor or its affiliates receiving less than the full amount of the Incentive Fee percentage until returns to stockholders exceed an approximate 13.3% annualized rate of return during such period. Annualized rate of return in this context is computed by reference to net asset value and does not take into account changes in the market price of the common stock.
The Advisor will be entitled to receive the Incentive Fee if the performance exceeds a hurdle rate during different measurement periods: trailing four quarters periods (which apply only to the portion of the Incentive Fee based on income) and annual periods (which apply only to the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains). The trailing four quarters periods for purposes of determining the income portion of the Incentive Fee payable for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was determined by reference to the four quarter periods ended on March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The term annual period means the period beginning on July 1 of each calendar year and ending on June 30 of the next calendar year.
29
The hurdle rate for each measurement period is 2.0% multiplied by net asset values at the beginning of each calendar quarter during the measurement period, calculated after giving effect to any distributions that occurred during the measurement period. A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on income and a portion is based on capital gains. Each portion of the Incentive Fee is described below.
Quarterly Incentive Fee Based on Income Until March 6, 2017
For each trailing four quarters period, the Company will pay the Advisor an Incentive Fee based on the amount by which (A) aggregate distributions and amounts distributable out of taxable net income (excluding any capital gain and loss), during the period less the amount, if any, by which net unrealized capital depreciation exceeds net realized capital gains / losses during the period, is in excess of (B) the hurdle rate for the period. The amount of the excess of (A) over (B) described in this paragraph for each period is referred to as the excess income amount.
It should be noted that net realized capital gains / losses during the period are calculated as the proceeds received upon disposition less the fair market value as of the beginning of the measurement period. Since this calculation is not cumulative, but rather performed on a trailing four quarters period, fluctuations in fair market values are captured in net unrealized appreciation and depreciation of prior measurement periods.
The portion of the Incentive Fee based on income for each period will equal 50% of the periods excess income amount, until the cumulative Incentive Fee payments for the period equal 20% of the periods income amount distributed or distributable to stockholders as described in clause (A) of the preceding paragraph. Thereafter, the portion of the Incentive Fee based on income for the period will equal 20% of the periods amount distributed or distributable to stockholders.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Advisor earned zero and $11,061, respectively, in Incentive Fees based on income from the Company.
Annual Incentive Fee Based on Capital Gains Until March 6, 2017
The portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains is calculated and paid on an annual basis beginning on July 1 of each annual period and ending on June 30 of the next calendar year. The portion of Incentive Fee based on capital gains is calculated in the same manner as such portion of the Incentive Fee in the prior investment management agreement. For each annual period, the Company pays the Advisor an Incentive Fee on capital gains based on the amount by which (A) net realized capital gains, if any, exceeds gross unrealized capital depreciation, if any, occurring during the period in excess of (B) the amount, if any, by which the periods hurdle rate exceeds the amount of income used in the determination of the Incentive Fee based on income for the period. The amount of the excess of (A) over (B) described in this paragraph is referred to as the excess gain amount.
It should be noted that net realized capital gains during the period are calculated as the proceeds received upon disposition in excess of the lower of each securitys amortized cost or the fair market value as of the beginning of the measurement period. Since this calculation is not cumulative, but rather performed on an annual period commencing each July 1, any unrealized depreciation on a security, if any, will be captured in the gross unrealized depreciation of a prior period.
The portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains for each period will equal 50% of the periods excess gain amount, until such payments equal 20% of the periods capital gain amount distributed or distributable to stockholders. Thereafter, the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains for the period equals an amount such that the portion of the Incentive Fee payments to the Advisor based on capital gains for the period equals 20% of the periods capital gain amount distributed or distributable to stockholders. The result of this formula is that, if the portion of the Incentive Fee based on income for the period exceeds the periods hurdle, then the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains will be capped at 20% of the capital gain amount.
In calculating whether the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains is payable with respect to any period, we account for assets on a security-by-security basis. In addition, the Company uses the period-to-period method pursuant to which the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains for any period is based
30
on realized capital gains for the period reduced by realized capital losses and gross unrealized capital depreciation for the period. Based on current interpretations of Section 205(b)(3) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 by the SEC and its staff, the calculation of unrealized depreciation for each portfolio security over a period is based on the fair value of the security at the end of the period compared to the fair value at the beginning of the period. Incentive Fees earned in any of the periods described above are not subject to modification or repayment based upon performance in a subsequent period.
The Company is required under GAAP to accrue a hypothetical capital gains Incentive Fee based upon net realized capital gains and unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. The accrual of this hypothetical capital gains incentive fee assumes all unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation is realized in order to reflect a hypothetical capital gains Incentive Fee that would be payable at each measurement date. If such amount is positive at the end of the period, then we record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such amount, less the amount of capital gains related Incentive Fees already accrued in prior periods. If the resulting amount is negative, the accrual for GAAP in a given period may result in the reduction of an expense. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. However, it should be noted that a fee so calculated and accrued would not be payable under the Advisers Act or the investment management agreement. Amounts actually paid will be consistent with the Advisers Act which specifically excludes consideration of unrealized capital appreciation.
The capital gains Incentive Fee due to the Advisor as calculated under the investment management agreement as described above, at March 31, 2016 and 2015 was zero. In accordance with GAAP, the hypothetical liquidation for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, resulted in a capital gains incentive fee accrual/(reversal) of zero and $1,366,846, respectively. The total cumulative accrued balance at March 31, 2016 and 2015 was zero and $28,901,616, respectively.
Quarterly Incentive Fee Based on Income After March 6, 2017
After March 6, 2017, the investment management agreement provides that the Advisor or its affiliates may be entitled to an incentive management fee under certain circumstances. The Incentive Fee has two parts. The first portion is based on income other than capital gains and is calculated separately for each calendar quarter and will be paid on a quarterly basis. The Company will pay the Advisor the portion of the Incentive Fee based on income for each period as follows:
(i) | No Incentive Fee based on income other than capital gains for any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed 1.75% (7.00% annualized) of net assets attributable to common stock at the beginning of such quarter. |
(ii) | 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, for such calendar quarter, that exceeds 1.75% (7.00% annualized) of net assets attributable to common stock at the beginning of such quarter but is less than 2.1875% (8.75% annualized). |
(iii) | 20% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, for any calendar quarter, that exceeds 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) of net assets attributable to common stock at the beginning of such quarter. |
The payment of any such Incentive Fee based on income otherwise earned by the Advisor will be deferred if, for the most recent four full calendar quarter period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made, the Annualized Rate of Return is less than 7.0% of net assets attributable to common stock at the beginning of such four quarter period as adjusted for the net proceeds from any common stock issuances and the cost of any common stock repurchases during such four full calendar quarter period, with any deferred Incentive Fees to be carried over for payment in subsequent quarterly calculation periods to the extent such payment can then be made in accordance with the investment management agreement.
31
Annual Incentive Fee Based on Capital Gains After March 6, 2017
The second portion of the Incentive Fee is based on capital gains and is calculated separately for each Annual Period. The Advisor will be entitled to receive an Incentive Fee based on capital gains for each Annual Period in an amount equal to 20% of the amount by which (1) net realized capital gains occurring during the period, if any, exceeds (2) gross unrealized capital depreciation, if any, occurring during the period. In calculating the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains payable for any period, investments are accounted for on a security-by-security basis. In addition, the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains is determined using the period-to-period method pursuant to which the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains for any period will be based on realized capital gains for the period reduced by realized capital losses for the period and unrealized capital depreciation for the period.
For purposes of calculating the Incentive Fee, (i) Annual Period means the period beginning on July 1 of each calendar year, including the calendar year prior to the year in which the investment management agreement became effective, and ending on June 30 of the next calendar year; (ii) Annualized Rate of Return is computed by reference to the sum of (i) the aggregate distributions to common stockholders for the period in question and (ii) the change in net assets attributable to common stock (before taking into account any Incentive Fees otherwise payable during such period); (iii) net assets attributable to common stock means total assets less indebtedness and preferred stock; and (iv) Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means net investment income (as determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles) accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter excluding any accruals for or payments in respect of the Incentive Fee.
Advisor Reimbursements
The investment management agreement provides that the Company will reimburse the Advisor for costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor for administrative or operating services, office space rental, office equipment and utilities allocable to the Advisor under the investment management agreement, as well as any costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor relating to any non-investment advisory, administrative or operating services provided by the Advisor to us. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred $87,500 and $202,307, respectively, for such investment advisor expenses under the Management Agreement.
From time to time, the Advisor may pay amounts owed by the Company to third party providers of goods or services. The Company will subsequently reimburse the Advisor for such amounts paid on its behalf. Reimbursements to the Advisor for such purposes during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $5,921 and $158,350 respectively.
No person who is an officer, director or employee of the Advisor and who serves as a director of the Company receives any compensation from the Company for such services. Directors who are not affiliated with the Advisor receive compensation for their services and reimbursement of expenses incurred to attend meetings.
Administration
The Company also has entered into an administration agreement with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the Administrator) under which the Administrator provides certain administrative services to the Company. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimburses the Administrator for the Companys allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including rent and the Companys allocable portion of the cost of certain of the Companys officers and their respective staffs. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred $470,000 and $731,697, respectively, for administrative services expenses payable to the Administrator under the administration agreement.
Advisor Stock Transactions
Effective upon completion of the Transaction, BlackRock Advisors, LLC assumed the role as investment adviser to the Company. BlackRock Advisors, LLC does not own any shares of the Company at March 31, 2016.
32
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, other entities affiliated with the Administrator and Advisor beneficially owned approximately 348,000 and 327,000 shares, respectively, of the Companys common stock, representing approximately 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively, of the total shares outstanding. An entity affiliated with the Administrator has ownership and financial interests in the Advisor.

The geographic composition of the portfolio at fair value at March 31, 2016 was United States 93.9%, Bermuda 3.4%, Canada 1.8% and the Cayman Islands 0.9%, and at December 31, 2015 was United States 93.6%, Bermuda 3.7%, Canada 1.7% and the Cayman Islands 1.0%. The geographic composition is determined by several factors including the location of the corporate headquarters of the portfolio company.
Market and Credit Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Company may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Company; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Company may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Company has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Company manages counterparty risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Company to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of investments in portfolio companies. The extent of the Companys exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company is also exposed to credit risk related to maintaining all of its cash at a major financial institution.
The Company has investments in lower rated and comparable quality unrated senior and junior secured, unsecured and subordinated debt securities and loans, which are subject to a greater degree of credit risk than more highly rated investments. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer is significantly greater for holders of such securities and loans, particularly in cases where the investment is unsecured or subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.
6. Derivatives
Foreign Currency
The Company may enter into forward foreign currency contracts from time to time to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies or to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Companys investments denominated in foreign currencies. A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date (usually the security transaction settlement date) at a negotiated forward rate. These contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled. The Companys forward foreign currency contracts generally have terms of approximately three months. The volume of open contracts at the end of each reporting period is reflective of the typical volume of transactions during each calendar quarter. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company attempts to limit this risk by dealing with only creditworthy counterparties. There were no open forward foreign currency contracts at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Warrants and Options
The Company holds warrants and options in certain portfolio companies in an effort to achieve additional investment return. In purchasing warrants and options, the Company bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying equity interest. The aggregate fair value of warrants and options as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 represents 0.2% and 0.4%, respectively, of the Companys net assets.
35
The Company may enter into other derivative instruments and incur other exposures with other counterparties in the future. The derivative instruments held as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 reflect the volume of derivative activity throughout the periods presented.
7. Debt
In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, the Company is only allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of March 31, 2016, the Companys asset coverage was 255%.
On February 19, 2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the Credit Facility) which has an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $440,000,000 and a stated maturity date of February 19, 2021. The interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency borrowings thereunder is generally LIBOR plus an applicable margin of either 1.75% or 2.00% based on a pricing grid using the borrowing base as a multiple of the combined debt amount. The interest rate applicable to ABR borrowings thereunder is generally the prime rate in effect plus an applicable margin of either 0.75% or 1.00% based on a pricing grid using the borrowing base as a multiple of the combined debt amount. The Credit Facilitys commitment may increase in size, under certain circumstances, up to a total of $750,000,000.
On February 19, 2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement (the Term Loan) which has a principal amount of $15,000,000. The Term Loan has a stated maturity date of March 27, 2019. The interest rate applicable to borrowings thereunder is generally LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25%.
On February 19, 2013, the Company closed a private offering of $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2018 (the Convertible Notes). The initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes fully exercised their overallotment option and purchased an additional $15,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The closing of the overallotment option took place on March 4, 2013. With the exercise of the overallotment option, a total of $115,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes was sold. Net proceeds to the Company from the offering, including the exercise of the overallotment option, were approximately $111,300,000. The Convertible Notes were only offered to qualified institutional buyers as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
The Convertible Notes are unsecured and bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears. In certain circumstances and during certain periods, the Convertible Notes are convertible into cash, shares of BlackRock Capital Investment Corporations common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Companys common stock, at the Companys election, at an initial conversion rate of 86.0585 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.62 per share of the Companys common stock, subject to defined anti-dilution adjustments. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Convertible Notes prior to maturity. The Convertible Notes mature on February 15, 2018, unless repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.
On January 18, 2011, the Company closed a private placement issuance of $158,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of five-year, senior secured notes with a fixed interest rate of 6.50% and a maturity date of January 18, 2016 and $17,000,000 million in aggregate principal amount of seven-year, senior secured notes with a fixed interest rate of 6.60% and a maturity date of January 18, 2018 (collectively, the Senior Secured Notes). The $158,000,000 five-year, senior secured notes matured on January 18, 2016 and were refinanced under the Companys Credit Facility.
The Senior Secured Notes were sold to certain institutional accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is due semi-annually on January 18 and July 18, commencing on July 18, 2011.

8. Capital stock
In 2008, the Companys Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan under which the Company may repurchase up to 2.5 percent of its outstanding shares of common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions. In 2009, the Board of Directors approved an extension and increase to the plan which authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional 2.5 percent of its outstanding shares of common stock. During April 2015, the Board of Directors approved an extension and increase to the plan which authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional 2.5 percent of its outstanding shares of common stock, or an additional 1,869,399 shares.
37
During July 2015, the Board of Directors approved an extension to the plan and an increase to the remaining amount of shares authorized to be repurchased to a total of 4,000,000 shares. The repurchase plan was extended until the earlier of June 30, 2016 or such time that all of the authorized shares have been repurchased. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company purchased a total of 1,362,213 shares of its common stock on the open market for $12,009,486, including brokerage commissions. No such shares were purchased for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Since inception of the repurchase plan through March 31, 2016, the Company has purchased 4,010,114 shares of its common stock on the open market for $32,219,102, including brokerage commissions. At March 31, 2016, the total number of remaining shares authorized for repurchase was 1,748,501. The Company currently holds the shares it repurchased in treasury.
9. Guarantees, commitments and contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into guarantees on behalf of portfolio companies. Under these arrangements, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. There were no such guarantees outstanding at March 31, 2016. On March 24, 2015, the Company entered into a standby letter of credit on behalf of Red Apple Stores Inc. in the amount of $5,250,000, which expired on December 31, 2015. In addition, from time to time, the Company may provide for a commitment to a portfolio company for investment in an existing or new security. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company was obligated to existing portfolio companies for unfunded commitments of $10.3 million and $13.1 million, respectively.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual agreements that provide general indemnifications against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of individual obligations under such agreements. The Company has had no prior claims or payments pursuant to such agreements. The Companys individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on managements experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote.
From time to time, we and the Advisor may be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business, including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While we cannot predict the outcome of these legal proceedings with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We have been named as a defendant, together with 52nd Street Capital Advisors LLC, our former investment adviser, and certain other defendants, in two wrongful death and personal injury actions filed in West Virginia involving a fatal accident that occurred on December 9, 2010, at the facilities of one of our portfolio companies. The cases, which have been consolidated, involve three deaths and personal injuries to other employees. We and 52nd Street Capital Advisors LLC filed motions to dismiss in both cases. On June 18, 2015, the court entered an order denying those motions, and the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia subsequently denied our writ seeking review of that ruling. On August 19, 2015, the Court entered a separate order releasing certain insurance proceeds to the estates of the deceased workers. On October 16, 2015, the trial court granted Defendant AL Solutions, Inc.s motion for partial summary judgment seeking to void certain contracts to the extent we, 52nd Street Capital Advisors, and another defendant sought contractual indemnification with respect to the subject lawsuits. We have appealed that ruling to the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, which is pending. Summary judgment motions are presently due on or before August 30, 2016, and trial is scheduled to commence on September 8, 2016. At this time it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the range of a potential loss, if any.
10. Fair value of financial instruments
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that the Company would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal
38
or most advantageous market for the investment. ASC 820-10 emphasizes that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Companys assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Level 1 Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation.
Transfers between levels, if any, represent the value as of the beginning of the period of any investment where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.
The Companys valuation policy and fair value disclosures are consistent with ASC 820-10. The Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which its investments are trading, in determining fair value and categorizes each investment within the fair value hierarchy pursuant to ASC 820-10.
Under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify non-controlled investments where it owns 5% or more of a portfolio companys outstanding voting securities as investments in affiliated companies. In addition, under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify investments where it owns more than 25% of a portfolio companys outstanding voting securities as investments in controlled companies. Detailed information with respect to the Companys non-controlled non-affiliated, non-controlled affiliated and controlled investments is contained in the accompanying consolidated schedules of investments and consolidated financial statements. The information in the tables below is presented on an aggregate portfolio basis, without segregating the non-controlled non-affiliated, non-controlled affiliated and controlled investment categories.
The carrying values of the Companys financial instruments approximate fair value. The carrying values of receivables, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The fair value of the Companys Credit Facility, Senior Secured Notes, Convertible Notes and Term Loan is derived by taking the average of the high and low quotes as obtained from a broker. The fair value of the Credit Facility, Senior Secured Notes, Convertible Notes and Term Loan would be classified as Level 2 with respect to the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying and fair values of the Companys outstanding debt as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:

The valuation techniques used at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 in determining the fair values of the Companys investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used were the market approach, income approach or both using third party valuation firms or broker quotes for identical or similar assets. The total fair market value using the market or income approach or both using third party valuation firms was $1,125,893,513 and $1,116,535,669 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The remaining balance was determined using broker quotes for identical or similar assets.

There were no transfers between Levels during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. All realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings (changes in net assets) and are reported as separate line items within the Companys consolidated statements of operations.
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 on investments still held by the Company at the respective period ends, for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining fair value was ($56,503,840) and $7,565,078, respectively.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the market approach of fair value measurement of the Companys investments are the market multiples of earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of the comparable guideline public companies. The independent valuation firms select a population of public companies for each investment with similar operations and attributes of the subject company. Using these guideline public companies data, a range of multiples of enterprise value to EBITDA is calculated. The independent valuation firms select percentages from the range of multiples for purposes of determining the subject companys estimated enterprise value based on said multiple and generally the latest twelve months EBITDA of the subject company (or other meaningful measure). Significant increases or decreases in the multiple will result in an increase or decrease in enterprise value, resulting in an increase or decrease in the fair value estimate of the investment.
The significant unobservable input used in the income approach of fair value measurement of the Companys investments is the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows
41
expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. Significant increases or decreases in the discount rate or market yield would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value measurement. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates or market yields are the following factors: risk of default, rating of the investment and comparable company investments, and call provisions.
The ranges of significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys Level 3 investments as of March 31, 2016 were as follows:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
This report, and other statements that we may make, may contain forward-looking statements with respect to future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as trend, opportunity, pipeline, believe, comfortable, expect, anticipate, current, intention, estimate, position, assume, potential, outlook, continue, remain, maintain, sustain, seek, achieve and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as will, would, should, could, may or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we assume no duty to and do not undertake to update forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.
In addition to factors previously identified elsewhere in the reports BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance:
| our future operating results; |
| our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies; |
| the impact of investments that we expect to make; |
| our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties; |
| the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest; |
| the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives; |
| our expected financings and investments; |
| the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital, including our ability to obtain continued financing on favorable terms; |
| the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies; |
| the impact of increased competition; |
| the ability of the Advisor to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments; |
| potential conflicts of interest in the allocation of opportunities between us and other investment funds managed by the Advisor or its affiliates; |
| the ability of the Advisor to attract and retain highly talented professionals; |
| fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and |
| the impact of changes to tax legislation and, generally, our tax position. |
Overview
We were incorporated in Delaware on April 13, 2005 and commenced operations with private funding on July 25, 2005, and completed our initial public offering on July 2, 2007. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in middle-market companies in the form of senior and junior secured and unsecured debt securities and loans, each of which may include an equity component, and by making direct preferred, common and other equity investments in such companies.
We are externally managed and have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least
45
70% of our total assets in qualifying assets, including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.
Certain items previously reported may have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Investments
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.
As a BDC, we generally do not acquire any assets other than qualifying assets specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in eligible portfolio companies. Under the relevant SEC rules, the term eligible portfolio company includes most private companies, companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, and certain public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market capitalization of less than $250 million. These rules also permit us to include as qualifying assets certain follow-on investments in companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time of initial investment but that no longer meet the definition.
Revenues
We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest on the debt we hold, dividends on our equity interests and capital gains on the sale of warrants and other debt or equity interests that we acquire in portfolio companies. Our investments in fixed income instruments generally have an expected maturity of three to ten years, although we have no lower or upper constraint on maturity, and typically bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest on our debt securities is generally payable quarterly or semi-annually. In some cases, our debt instruments and preferred stock investments may defer payments of cash interest or dividends or pay interest or dividends in-kind. Any outstanding principal amount of our debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of prepayment fees, commitment, origination, capital structuring fees and fees for providing significant managerial assistance.
Expenses
Our primary operating expenses include the payment of a base management fee and, depending on our operating results, an incentive management fee, interest and credit facility fees, expenses reimbursable under the management agreement, administration fees and the allocable portion of overhead under the administration agreement. The base management fee and incentive management fee compensate the Advisor for work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. Our management agreement with the Advisor provides that we will reimburse the Advisor for costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor for office space rental, office equipment and utilities allocable to the Advisor under the management agreement, as well as any costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor relating to any non-investment advisory, administrative or operating services provided by the Advisor to us. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions.
Critical accounting policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these
46
consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ.
Management considers the critical accounting policies important to understanding the consolidated financial statements. In addition to the discussion below, our critical accounting policies are further described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of significant accounting policies and of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Portfolio and investment activity
We invested $97.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The new investments consisted of senior secured loans secured by first liens ($0.2 million, or 0.2%), or second liens ($39.3 million, or 40.3%), senior secured notes ($36.8 million, or 37.7%) and unsecured or subordinated debt securities and equity securities ($21.2 million, or 21.8%). Additionally, we received proceeds from sales/repayments and other exits of approximately $32.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
At March 31, 2016, our portfolio of $1,126.4 million (at fair value) consisted of 47 portfolio companies and was invested 66% in senior secured loans, 14% in unsecured or subordinated debt securities, 11% in equity
47
investments, and 9% in senior secured notes. Our average investment by portfolio company at amortized cost, excluding investments below $5.0 million, was approximately $32.5 million at March 31, 2016. Our largest portfolio company investment by value was approximately $79.2 million and our five largest portfolio company investments by value comprised approximately 24% of our portfolio at March 31, 2016. At December 31, 2015, our portfolio of $1,117.0 million (at fair value) consisted of 45 portfolio companies and was invested 68% in senior secured loans, 15% in unsecured or subordinated debt securities, 11% in equity investments and 6% in senior secured notes. Our average investment by portfolio company at amortized cost, excluding investments below $5.0 million, was approximately $32.5 million at December 31, 2015. Our largest portfolio company investment by value was approximately $64.7 million and our five largest portfolio company investments by value comprised approximately 24% of our portfolio at December 31, 2015.
The weighted average yield of the debt and income producing equity securities in our portfolio at fair value was 10.8% at March 31, 2016 and 11.6% at December 31, 2015. The weighted average yields on our senior secured loans and other debt securities at fair value were 10.1% and 13.4%, respectively, at March 31, 2016, versus 11.4% and 13.0%, respectively, at December 31, 2015. The weighted average yield of the debt and income producing equity securities in our portfolio at their current cost basis was 9.8% at March 31, 2016 and 11.0% at December 31, 2015. The weighted average yields on our senior secured loans and other debt securities at their current cost basis were 9.2% and 11.4%, respectively, at March 31, 2016, versus 11.0% and 11.2%, respectively, at December 31, 2015. Yields exclude common equity investments, preferred equity investments with no stated dividend rate, short-term investments, and cash and cash equivalents.
The Advisor employs a grading system for our entire portfolio. The Advisor grades all loans on a scale of 1 to 4. This system is intended to reflect the performance of the borrowers business, the collateral coverage of the loans and other factors considered relevant. Generally, the Advisor assigns only one loan grade to each portfolio company for all loan investments in that portfolio company; however, the Advisor will assign multiple ratings when appropriate for different investments in one portfolio company. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:
Grade 1: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is substantially within the Advisors expectations and whose risk factors are neutral to favorable to those at the time of the original investment.
Grade 2: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is below the Advisors expectations and that require closer monitoring; however, no loss of investment return (interest and/or dividends) or principal is expected.
Grade 3: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is below the Advisors expectations and for which risk has increased materially since origination. Some loss of investment return is expected, but no loss of principal is expected. Companies graded 3 generally will be out of compliance with debt covenants and will be unlikely to make debt repayments on their original schedule.
Grade 4: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is materially below the Advisors expectations where business trends have deteriorated and risk factors have increased substantially since the original investment. Investments graded 4 are those for which some loss of principal is expected.
48
The Advisor monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment ratings assigned to each investment in our portfolio. In connection with our valuation process, the Advisor and Board of Directors review these investment ratings on a quarterly basis. Our average investment rating was 1.36 at March 31, 2016 and 1.29 at December 31, 2015. The following is a distribution of the investment ratings of our portfolio companies at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Results of operations
Results comparisons for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.
Investment income
Investment income totaled $29,837,169 and $30,919,412, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, of which $20,377,395 and $18,921,192 were attributable to interest and fees on senior secured loans, $7,910,496 and $10,848,861 to interest and fees earned on other debt securities, $1,545,556 and $1,102,048 to dividends from equity securities and $3,722 and $818 to interest earned on cash equivalents, respectively. The decrease in investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is primarily attributable to an approximate 5% decrease in interest and dividends as a result of 15.3% of the debt portfolio, at amortized cost, on non-accrual as of the end of the current period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, fee income was $811,283 comprised primarily of capital structuring fees, as compared to $224,410 of fee income for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Interest income is comprised of approximately 94% in cash interest and 6% in PIK interest.
Expenses
Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $12,358,920 and $16,295,835, respectively, which consisted of $5,690,490 and $6,370,630 in base management fees, $4,655,999 and $6,370,977 in interest and credit facility fees, $544,625 and $438,641 in professional fees, $557,500 and $934,004 in investment advisor and administrative services expenses, $173,500 and $173,500 in director fees, zero and $1,377,907 of incentive management fees based on income and gain, and $736,806 and $630,176 in other expenses, respectively. The current period other expenses also consist of a one-time blocker tax expense in the amount of $124,316. The decrease in total expenses for the current period is primarily driven by an approximate 27% reduction in interest and credit facility fees due to the refinancing of the Senior Secured Notes under the Credit Facility during the quarter, as well as the elimination of both incentive management fees based on income and capital gains during the current period.
Net investment income
Net investment income was $17,478,249 and $14,623,577 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The 4% decrease in investment income was more than offset by a 24% decrease in expenses, driven primarily by interest and credit facility charges and incentive management fees.
49
Net realized gain or loss
Net realized gain for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $34,884 and $8,346,859, respectively. During the current period, the net realized gain is comprised of a capital distribution from our equity investment in Higginbotham Investment Holdings, LLC.
Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and foreign currency translation was an increase in net unrealized depreciation of $55,687,902 and a decrease in net unrealized appreciation of $314,817, respectively. The current period depreciation was primarily comprised of $64,895,833 of gross declines in the valuation of certain of our portfolio companies, slightly offset by $10,544,385 of gross increases in certain other portfolio company valuations, as well as a $443,097 unrealized foreign currency translation gain. The prior period depreciation was primarily due to the reversal of unrealized appreciation previously reported on our investments in M&M Tradition Holdings Corp. and Marquette Transportation Company Holdings LLC.
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations
The net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was an increase (decrease) of ($38,174,769) and $22,655,619, respectively. As compared to the prior period, the significant decrease primarily reflects a net realized and unrealized loss of $55,653,018 for the current period, versus $8,032,042 of net realized and unrealized gains for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Supplemental Non-GAAP information
We report our financial results on a GAAP basis; however, management believes that evaluating our ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP basis financial measures. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and, for the reasons described below, considers them to be effective indicators, for both management and investors, of our financial performance over time. Management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We record our liability for Incentive Fees based on income as we become legally obligated to pay them, based on a hypothetical liquidation at the end of each reporting period. Our obligation to pay Incentive Fees with respect to any fiscal quarter is based on a formula that reflects our results over a trailing four-fiscal quarter period ending with the current fiscal quarter. We are legally obligated to pay the amount resulting from the formula less any cash payments of Incentive Fees during the prior three quarters. The formulas requirement to reduce the Incentive Fees by amounts paid with respect to Incentive Fees in the prior three quarters has caused our Incentive Fees expense to become generally concentrated in the fourth quarter of each year. Management believes that reflecting Incentive Fees throughout the year, as the related investment income is earned on a quarterly basis, is an effective measure of our profitability and financial performance that facilitates comparison of current results with historical results and with those of our peers. Our as adjusted results reflect Incentive Fees based on the formula we utilize for each trailing four-fiscal quarter period, with the formula applied to the current quarters incremental earnings and without any reduction for Incentive Fees paid during the prior three quarters. The resulting amount represents an upper limit of each quarters incremental Incentive Fees that we may become legally obligated to pay at the end of the year. Prior year amounts are estimated in the same manner. These estimates represent upper limits because, in any calendar year, subsequent quarters investment underperformance could reduce the Incentive Fees payable with respect to prior quarters operating results. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ and such differences could be material. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for a more detailed description of the Companys incentive management fee.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into guarantees on behalf of portfolio companies. Under these arrangements, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. There were no such guarantees outstanding at March 31, 2016. On March 24, 2015, the Company entered into a standby letter of credit on behalf of Red Apple Stores Inc. in the amount of $5,250,000, which was undrawn at March 31, 2015, and expired on December 31, 2015. In addition, from time to time, the Company may provide for a commitment to a portfolio company for investment in an existing or new security. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company was obligated to existing portfolio companies for unfunded commitments of $10.3 million and $13.1 million, respectively.
Distributions
Our quarterly distributions, if any, are determined by our Board of Directors. Distributions are declared considering our estimate of annual taxable income available for distribution to stockholders and the amount of taxable income carried over from the prior year for distribution in the current year.

In order to maintain favorable RIC tax treatment, we must distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Company after December 31, 2010 will not be subject to expiration. In addition, such losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in the years preceding enactment. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of:
| 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year; |
| 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31st; and |
| any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years. |
We maintain an opt out dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, except as discussed below, if we declare a distribution, stockholders cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they specifically opt out of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash distributions. With respect to our distributions paid to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, distributions reinvested pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan totaled $1,053,835 and $971,399, respectively.
Under the terms of an amendment to our dividend reinvestment plan adopted on March 4, 2009, distributions may be paid in newly issued or treasury shares of our common stock at a price equal to 95% of the market price on the payment date. This feature of the plan means that, under certain circumstances, we may issue shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value per share, which could cause our stockholders to experience dilution. 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. Also, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act and due to provisions in our existing and future debt arrangements.
If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of favorable RIC tax treatment. In addition, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and tax regulations, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as payment-in-kind interest, which represents contractual interest added to the loan balance that becomes due at the end of the loan term, or the accrual of original issue or market discount. Since we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may have difficulty meeting the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a RIC and may be subject to an excise tax. In order to satisfy the annual distribution requirement applicable to RICs, we have the ability to declare a large portion of a dividend in shares of our common stock instead of in cash. As long as a portion of such dividend is paid in cash (which portion can be as low as 10% for our taxable years ending prior to 2012) and certain requirements are met, the entire distribution would be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Recent developments
On April 26, 2016, the Companys Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.21 per share, payable on July 1, 2016 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 17, 2016.
Notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 23(c) of the 1940 Act that from time to time the Company may purchase shares of its common stock in the open market at prevailing market prices.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. At March 31, 2016, 71% of our debt investments bore interest based on floating rates, such as LIBOR, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate. The interest rates on such investments generally reset by reference to the current market index after one to six months. At March 31, 2016, of those floating rate debt investments, 98% contained an interest rate floor. Floating rate investments subject to a floor generally reset by reference to the current market index after one to six months only if the index exceeds the floor.
While hedging activities may help to insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they also may limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively hedge our interest rate risk. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we did not engage in any interest rate hedging activity.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

From time to time, we and the Advisor may be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business, including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While we cannot predict the outcome of these legal proceedings with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We have been named as a defendant, together with 52nd Street Capital Advisors LLC, our former investment adviser, and certain other defendants, in two wrongful death and personal injury actions filed in West Virginia involving a fatal accident that occurred on December 9, 2010, at the facilities of one of our portfolio companies. The cases, which have been consolidated, involve three deaths and personal injuries to other employees. We and 52nd Street Capital Advisors LLC filed motions to dismiss in both cases. On June 18, 2015, the court entered an order denying those motions, and the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia subsequently denied our writ seeking review of that ruling. On August 19, 2015, the Court entered a separate order releasing certain insurance proceeds to the estates of the deceased workers. On October 16, 2015, the trial court granted Defendant AL Solutions, Inc.s motion for partial summary judgment seeking to void certain contracts to the extent we, 52nd Street Capital Advisors, and another defendant sought contractual indemnification with respect to the subject lawsuits. We have appealed that ruling to the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, which is pending. Summary judgment motions are presently due on or before August 30, 2016, and trial is scheduled to commence on September 8, 2016. At this time it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the range of a potential loss, if any.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K/A filing.

In 2008, the Companys Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan under which the Company may repurchase up to 2.5 percent of its outstanding shares of common stock from time to time in open market or
55
privately negotiated transactions. In 2009, the Board of Directors approved an extension and increase to the plan which authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional 2.5 percent of its outstanding shares of common stock. During April 2015, the Board of Directors approved an extension and increase to the plan which authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional 2.5 percent of its outstanding shares of common stock, or an additional 1,869,399 shares. During July 2015, the Board of Directors approved an extension to the plan and an increase to the remaining amount of shares authorized to be repurchased to a total of 4,000,000 shares. The repurchase plan was extended until the earlier of June 30, 2016 or such time that all of the authorized shares have been repurchased. The repurchase plan does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be discontinued at any time. We intend to fund any repurchases with available cash.
