To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of CĪON Investment Corporation
Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of CĪON Investment Corporation (the Company), as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the interim financial information or interim financial statements). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the provisions of the Securities Regulations (Annual Financial Statements), 2010.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year then ended, and in our report dated March 16, 2020, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Review Results
These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

The actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2020, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to June 30, 2020.

Such projections are periodically reviewed and adjusted, and the estimated yield may not ultimately be realized.

h.
The investment or a portion thereof is not a qualifying asset under the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets as defined under Section 55 of the 1940 Act.

The 1, 2, 3 and 6 month LIBOR rates were 1.76%, 1.83%, 1.91% and 1.91%, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. The actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of December 31, 2019, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to December 31, 2019. The 1 month EURIBOR rate was (0.51%) as of December 31, 2019.

The CLO subordinated notes are considered equity positions in the CLO vehicles and are not rated. Equity investments are entitled to recurring distributions, which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of the payments made by the underlying vehicle's securities less contractual payments to debt holders and expenses.

Such projections are periodically reviewed and adjusted, and the estimated yield may not ultimately be realized.

h.
The investment or a portion thereof is not a qualifying asset under the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets as defined under Section 55 of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2019, 91.5% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets.
i.
Fair value determined using level 1 inputs.
j.
Position or a portion thereof unsettled as of December 31, 2019.
k.
In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this loan, which is the amount reflected in this schedule, the Company may be entitled to receive additional amounts as a result of an arrangement between the Company and the other lenders in the syndication in exchange for a lower payment priority.
l.
In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this loan, which is the amount reflected in this schedule, the Company may be entitled to receive additional residual amounts.
m.
Short term investments represent an investment in a fund that invests in highly liquid investments with average original maturity dates of three months or less.
n.
7-day effective yield as of December 31, 2019.

The actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2019, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to June 30, 2019. The 1 month EURIBOR rate was (0.43%) as of June 30, 2019.

The CLO subordinated notes are considered equity positions in the CLO vehicles and are not rated. Equity investments are entitled to recurring distributions, which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of the payments made by the underlying vehicle's securities less contractual payments to debt holders and expenses.

Such projections are periodically reviewed and adjusted, and the estimated yield may not ultimately be realized.

As a result of an arrangement between the Company and the other lenders in the syndication, the Company is entitled to less interest than the stated interest rate of this loan, which is reflected in this schedule, in exchange for a higher payment priority.
i.
The investment or a portion thereof is not a qualifying asset under the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets as defined under Section 55 of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2019, 92.3% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets.

m.
In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this loan, which is the amount reflected in this schedule, the Company may be entitled to receive additional residual amounts.

Note 1. Organization and Principal Business
CĪON Investment Corporation, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on August 9, 2011. On December 17, 2012, the Company successfully raised gross proceeds from unaffiliated outside investors of at least $2,500, or the minimum offering requirement, and commenced operations. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the 1940 Act. The Company elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.
The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation for investors. The Company’s portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured debt, including first lien loans, second lien loans and unitranche loans, and, to a lesser extent, collateralized securities, structured products and other similar securities, unsecured debt and equity, of private and thinly-traded U.S. middle-market companies.
The Company is managed by CION Investment Management, LLC, or CIM, a registered investment adviser and an affiliate of the Company. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Company, CIM oversees the management of the Company’s activities and is responsible for making investment decisions for the Company’s investment portfolio. On November 5, 2019, the board of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement with CIM for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2019. The Company and CIM previously engaged Apollo Investment Management, L.P., or AIM, a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, Inc., or, together with its subsidiaries, Apollo, a leading global alternative investment manager, to act as the Company’s investment sub-adviser.
On July 11, 2017, the members of CIM entered into a third amended and restated limited liability company agreement of CIM, or the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement, for the purpose of creating a joint venture between AIM and CION Investment Group, LLC, or CIG, an affiliate of the Company. Under the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement, AIM became a member of CIM and was issued a newly-created class of membership interests in CIM pursuant to which AIM, among other things, shares in the profits, losses, distributions and expenses of CIM with the other members in accordance with the terms of the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement, which results in CIG and AIM each owning a 50% economic interest in CIM.
On July 10, 2017, the Company’s independent directors unanimously approved the termination of the investment sub-advisory agreement with AIM, effective as of July 11, 2017. Although the investment sub-advisory agreement and AIM's engagement as the Company’s investment sub-adviser were terminated, AIM's investment professionals continue to perform certain services for CIM and the Company, including, without limitation, identifying investment opportunities for approval by CIM's investment committee. AIM is not paid a separate fee in exchange for such services, but is entitled to receive distributions as a member of CIM as described above.
On December 4, 2017, the members of CIM entered into a fourth amended and restated limited liability company agreement of CIM, or the Fourth Amended CIM LLC Agreement. Under the Fourth Amended CIM LLC Agreement, AIM's investment professionals perform certain services for CIM, which include, among other services, (i) assistance with identifying and providing information about potential investment opportunities for approval by CIM’s investment committee; and (ii) providing (a) trade and settlement support; (b) portfolio and cash reconciliation; (c) market pipeline information regarding syndicated deals, in each case, as reasonably requested by CIM; and (d) monthly valuation reports and support for all broker-quoted investments. All of the Company's investment decisions are the sole responsibility of, and are made at the sole discretion of, CIM's investment committee, which consists entirely of CIG senior personnel.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with its audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and for the year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020. The consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of operations and the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2019 are derived from the 2019 audited consolidated financial statements and include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not consolidate its interest in CION SOF Funding, LLC, or CION SOF. See Note 7 for a description of the Company’s investment in CION SOF.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued ASU 2018-13,
Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
, or ASU 2018-13, which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Topic 820 by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which did not have a significant impact on the Company’s disclosures on fair value measurements.
Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
, or ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of the reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held principally at one financial institution and at times may exceed insured limits. The Company periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of this institution and has not experienced any losses on such deposits.
Foreign Currency Translations
The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the foreign exchange rate on the date of valuation. The Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Changes in the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of these investments and therefore the earnings of the Company.
Short Term Investments
Short term investments include an investment in a U.S. Treasury obligations fund, which seeks to provide current income and daily liquidity by purchasing U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements that are collateralized by such securities. The Company had $31,668, $29,527 and $33,740 of such investments at June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively, which are included in investments, at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and on the consolidated schedules of investments.
Offering Costs
Offering costs included, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the Company’s registration statements in connection with the continuous public offerings of the Company’s shares. Certain initial offering costs that were funded by CIG on behalf of the Company were submitted by CIG for reimbursement upon meeting the minimum offering requirement on December 17, 2012. These costs were capitalized and amortized over a twelve month period as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value. All other offering costs were expensed as incurred by the Company. The Company's follow-on continuous public offering ended on January 25, 2019.
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and distribute to shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of the Company’s “investment company taxable income”, which is generally equal to the sum of the Company’s net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses. If the Company continues to qualify as a RIC and continues to satisfy the annual distribution requirement, the Company will not be subject to corporate level federal income taxes on any income that the Company distributes to its shareholders. On March 19, 2020, the Company temporarily suspended the payment of distributions to shareholders commencing with the month ending April 30, 2020, whether in cash or pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan, as amended and restated. On July 15, 2020, the board of directors determined to recommence the payment of distributions to shareholders. As a result, on July 15, 2020, the Company’s co-chief executive officers declared regular monthly cash distributions of $0.04413 per share for August 2020. The Company intends to make distributions in an amount sufficient to maintain RIC status each year and to avoid any federal income taxes on income. The Company will also be subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if the Company does not distribute at least 98.0% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of capital gains, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no federal income taxes.

Two of the Company’s wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, View ITC, LLC and View Rise, LLC, or collectively the Taxable Subsidiaries, have elected to be treated as taxable entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated with the Company for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of its ownership of certain portfolio investments. The income tax expense or benefit, if any, and the related tax assets and liabilities, where material, are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. There were no deferred tax assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 or June 30, 2019.
Book/tax differences relating to permanent differences are reclassified among the Company’s capital accounts, as appropriate. Additionally, the tax character of distributions is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP (see Note 5).
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The Company evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Recognition of a tax benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by the taxing authorities. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions during the periods presented herein.
The Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal, New York State, New York City and Maryland income tax jurisdictions for 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
During the first half of 2020, there was a global outbreak of a novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, which spread to over 100 countries, including the United States, and spread to every state in the United States. The World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a pandemic, and numerous countries, including the United States, declared national emergencies with respect to COVID-19. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and as cases of COVID-19 continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel, closing financial markets and/or restricting trading, and limiting operations of non-essential businesses. Although countries, including the United States, have slowly started to loosen these restrictions, such actions created and will continue to create disruption in global supply chains, and adversely impacted many industries. The outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying the consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of June 30, 2020; however, uncertainty over the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy generally, and the Company’s business in particular, makes any estimates and assumptions as of June 30, 2020 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of COVID-19. Actual results may materially differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
The fair value of the Company’s investments is determined quarterly in good faith by the Company’s board of directors pursuant to its consistently applied valuation procedures and valuation process in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
, or ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Inputs used to measure these fair values are classified into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 -
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by the Company at the measurement date.
Level 2 -
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.
Level 3 -
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The inputs used in the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Such information may be the result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes that include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by the disclaimer would result in classification as a Level 3 asset, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.
Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

CĪON Investment Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
June 30, 2020
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy for each fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The level assigned to the investment valuations may not be indicative of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in such investments. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may differ materially from the value that would be received upon an actual sale of such investments. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses that the Company ultimately realizes on these investments to materially differ from the valuations currently assigned.
A portion of the Company’s investments consist of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investments. CIM attempts to obtain market quotations from at least two brokers or dealers for each investment (if available, otherwise from a principal market maker or a primary market dealer or other independent pricing service). CIM typically uses the average midpoint of the broker bid/ask price to determine fair value unless a different point within the range is more representative. Because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported) and the non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes, the Company believes that these valuation inputs result in Level 3 classification within the fair value hierarchy. As these quotes are only indicative of fair value, CIM benchmarks the implied fair value yield and leverage against what has been observed in the market. If the implied fair value yield and leverage fall within the range of CIM's market pricing matrix, the quotes are deemed to be reliable and used to determine the investment fair value.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the reasonable judgment of CIM, the price of any investment held by the Company and determined in the manner described above does not accurately reflect the fair value of such investment, CIM will value such investment at a price that reflects such investment’s fair value and report such change in the valuation to the board of directors or its designee as soon as practicable. Investments that carry certain restrictions on sale will typically be valued at a discount from the public market value of the investment.
Any investments that are not publicly traded or for which a market price is not otherwise readily available are valued at a price that reflects its fair value. With respect to such investments, if CIM is unable to obtain market quotations, the investments are reviewed and valued using one or more of the following types of analyses:
i.
Market comparable statistics and public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity, minority ownership and other factors for companies with similar characteristics.
ii.
Valuations implied by third-party investments in the applicable portfolio companies.
iii.
Discounted cash flow analysis, including a terminal value or exit multiple.
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, these notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Below is a description of factors that the Company’s board of directors may consider when valuing the Company’s equity and debt investments where a market price is not readily available:
•
the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses;
•
prevailing interest rates for like securities;
•
expected volatility in future interest rates;
•
leverage;
•
call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt;
•
the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt;
•
the fair market value of the portfolio company in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt;
•
the quality of collateral securing the Company’s debt investments;
•
multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in some cases, book value or liquidation value; and
•
other factors deemed applicable.
All of these factors may be subject to adjustment based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or the Company’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners, or acquisition, recapitalization, and restructuring expenses or other related or non-recurring items. The choice of analyses and the weight assigned to such factors may vary across investments and may change within an investment if events occur that warrant such a change.

The discounted cash flow model deemed appropriate by CIM is prepared for the applicable investments and reviewed by designated members of CIM’s management team. Such models are prepared at least quarterly or on an as needed basis. The model uses the estimated cash flow projections for the underlying investments and an appropriate discount rate is determined based on the latest financial information available for the borrower, prevailing market trends, comparable analysis and other inputs. The model, key assumptions, inputs, and results are reviewed by designated members of CIM’s management team with final approval from the board of directors.
Consistent with the Company’s valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company’s investments are trading, in determining fair value.
The Company periodically benchmarks the broker quotes from the brokers or dealers against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of the Company’s management in purchasing and selling these investments, the Company believes that these quotes are reliable indicators of fair value. The Company may also use other methods to determine fair value for securities for which it cannot obtain market quotations through brokers or dealers, including the use of an independent valuation firm. Designated members of CIM’s management team and the Company's board of directors review and approve the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation process.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses net asset value, or NAV, as the fair value for its equity investments in CION SOF and BCP Great Lakes Fund LP. CION SOF and BCP Great Lakes Fund LP record their underlying investments at fair value on a quarterly basis in accordance with ASC 820.
Revenue Recognition
Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Company records interest and dividend income on an accrual basis beginning on the trade settlement date or the ex-dividend date, respectively, to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. For investments in equity tranches of collateralized loan obligations, the Company records income based on the effective interest rate determined using the amortized cost and estimated cash flows, which is updated periodically. Loan origination fees, original issue discounts, or OID, and market discounts/premiums are recorded and such amounts are amortized as adjustments to interest income over the respective term of the loan using the effective interest rate method. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, prepayment premiums, any unamortized loan origination fees, OID, or market discounts are recorded as interest income.
The Company may have investments in its investment portfolio that contain a PIK interest provision. PIK interest is accrued as interest income if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is collectible and recorded as interest receivable up to the interest payment date. On the interest payment dates, the Company will capitalize the accrued interest receivable attributable to PIK as additional principal due from the borrower. Additional PIK securities typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, as the original securities. In order to maintain RIC status, substantially all of this income must be paid out to shareholders in the form of distributions, even if the Company has not collected any cash. For additional information on investments that contain a PIK interest provision, see the consolidated schedules of investments as of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
Loans and debt securities, including those that are individually identified as being impaired under Accounting Standards Codification 310,
Receivables
, or ASC 310, are generally placed on non-accrual status immediately if, in the opinion of management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more. Interest accrued but not collected at the date a loan or security is placed on non-accrual status is reversed against interest income. Interest income is recognized on non-accrual loans or debt securities only to the extent received in cash. However, where there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectibility of principal, cash receipts, whether designated as principal or interest, are thereafter applied to reduce the carrying value of the loan or debt security. Loans or securities are restored to accrual status only when interest and principal payments are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies.
The Company may receive fees for capital structuring services that are fixed based on contractual terms, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and non-refundable and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that CIM provides vary by investment, but generally include reviewing existing credit facilities, arranging bank financing, arranging equity financing, structuring financing from multiple lenders, structuring financing from multiple equity investors, restructuring existing loans, raising equity and debt capital, and providing general financial advice, which concludes upon closing of the investment. In certain instances where the Company is invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and does not provide significant services in connection with the investment, a portion of loan fees paid to the Company in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan as interest income.
Other income includes amendment fees that are fixed based on contractual terms and are generally non-recurring and non-refundable and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the transaction. Other income also includes fees for managerial assistance and other consulting services, loan guarantees, commitments, and other services rendered by the Company to its portfolio companies. Such fees are fixed based on contractual terms and are recognized as fee income when earned.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated by using the weighted-average method. The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the weighted-average amortized cost of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee
Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement the Company entered into with CIM, the incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments of the Company’s investment portfolio during operations is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year. Such fee equals 20% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains (i.e., the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a cumulative basis and to the extent that all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation exceed realized capital gains as well as the aggregate realized net capital gains for which a fee has previously been paid, the Company would not be required to pay CIM a capital gains incentive fee. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.
While the investment advisory agreement with CIM neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an interpretation of the American Institute for Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, the Company accrues capital gains incentive fees on unrealized gains. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to CIM if the Company’s entire investment portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though CIM is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets per Share
Net increase (decrease) in net assets per share is calculated based upon the daily weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.
Distributions
Distributions to shareholders are recorded as of the record date. The amount paid as a distribution is declared by the Company's co-chief executive officers and ratified by the board of directors on a quarterly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

To ensure that the offering price per share, net of sales commissions and dealer manager fees, equaled or exceeded the net asset value per share on each subscription closing date and distribution reinvestment date, certain of the Company’s directors increased the offering price per share of common stock on certain dates. Due to a decline in the Company’s net asset value per share to an amount more than 2.5% below the Company’s then-current net offering price, certain of the Company’s directors decreased the offering price per share of common stock effective January 2, 2019 and January 9, 2019 from $9.50 to $9.45 and from $9.45 to $9.40, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program
On a quarterly basis prior to March 31, 2020, the Company offered to repurchase shares on such terms as determined by the Company’s board of directors in its complete and absolute discretion unless, in the judgment of the independent directors of the Company’s board of directors, such repurchases would not be in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders or would violate applicable law.
On March 19, 2020, the Company's board of directors, including the independent directors, temporarily suspended the Company's share repurchase program commencing with the second quarter of 2020. Share repurchases for future quarters will be reevaluated by the board of directors based on circumstances and expectations existing at the time of consideration.
The Company limited the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares it could have repurchased with the proceeds it received from the issuance of shares pursuant to its fifth amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, it could have also used cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. The Company offered to repurchase such shares at a price equal to the estimated net asset value per share on each date of repurchase.
Any periodic repurchase offers are subject in part to the Company’s available cash and compliance with the BDC and RIC qualification and diversification rules promulgated under the 1940 Act and the Code, respectively. Furthermore, any future repurchase offers will be subject to a determination by the independent directors of the Company’s board of directors that such repurchase offers would be in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and permitted by applicable law.

On December 28, 2016, the Company entered into an amended and restated follow-on dealer manager agreement with CIM and CION Securities, LLC (formerly, ICON Securities, LLC), or CION Securities, in connection with the Company's follow-on continuous public offering, which ended on January 25, 2019. Under the amended and restated dealer manager agreement, the dealer manager fee was reduced from up to 3% to up to 2% of gross offering proceeds and selling commissions to the selling dealers were reduced from up to 7% to up to 3% of gross offering proceeds. Such costs were charged against capital in excess of par value when incurred. Since commencing its initial continuous public offering on July 2, 2012 through January 25, 2019, the Company paid or accrued sales commissions of $65,278 to the selling dealers and dealer manager fees of $32,628 to CION Securities.
The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement with CIM. On November 5, 2019, the board of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2019. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CIM is paid an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets, less cash and cash equivalents, and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance, as described below. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated based on the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, measured quarterly and expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the investment advisory agreement, equal to 1.875% per quarter, or an annualized rate of 7.5%. The Company receives 100% of pre-incentive fee net investment income once the hurdle rate is exceeded until the annualized rate of 9.375% is exceeded, at which point the Company receives 20% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income that exceeds the annualized rate of 9.375%. As of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the liabilities recorded for subordinated incentive fees were
$3,308
, $5,612 and $4,117, respectively. The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the capital gains incentive fee, is described in Note 2.
The Company accrues the capital gains incentive fee based on net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation; however, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the fee payable to CIM is based on net realized gains and unrealized depreciation and no such fee is payable with respect to unrealized appreciation unless and until such appreciation is actually realized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had no liability for and did not record any capital gains incentive fees.
Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, CIM and certain of its affiliates, which includes CIG, are entitled to receive reimbursement of up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds raised until all offering and organizational costs have been reimbursed. The Company’s payment of offering and organizational costs will not exceed 1.5% of the actual gross proceeds raised from the offerings (without giving effect to any potential expense support from CIG and its affiliates, which includes CIM). With respect to any reimbursements for offering and organizational costs, the Company interprets the 1.5% limit based on actual gross proceeds raised at the time of such reimbursement. In addition, the Company will not issue any of its shares or other securities for services or for property other than cash or securities except as a dividend or distribution to its security holders or in connection with a reorganization.
Reinvestment of shareholder distributions and share repurchases are excluded from the gross proceeds from the Company’s offerings for purposes of determining the total amount of offering and organizational costs that can be paid by the Company. As of June 30, 2020, the Company raised gross offering proceeds of $1,155,286, of which it can pay up to $17,329 in offering and organizational costs (which represents 1.5% of the actual gross offering proceeds raised). Through June 30, 2020, the Company paid $10,702 of such costs, leaving an additional $6,627 that can be paid.

On April 1, 2018, the Company entered into an administration agreement with CIM pursuant to which CIM furnishes the Company with administrative services including accounting, investor relations and other administrative services necessary to conduct its day-to-day operations. CIM is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on the Company’s behalf in performing its obligations, provided that such reimbursement is for the lower of CIM’s actual costs or the amount that the Company would have been required to pay for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location. Such costs are reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. The Company does not reimburse CIM for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a person with a controlling interest in CIM. On November 5, 2019, the board of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the administration agreement with CIM for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2019.
On January 1, 2019, the Company entered into a servicing agreement with CIM’s affiliate, Apollo Investment Administration, L.P., or AIA, pursuant to which AIA furnishes the Company with administrative services including, but not limited to, loan and high yield trading services, trade and settlement support, and monthly valuation reports and support for all broker quoted investments. AIA is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on the Company’s behalf in performing its obligations, provided that such reimbursement is reasonable, and costs and expenses incurred are documented. The servicing agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by either party, upon 60 days' written notice to the other party.
On January 30, 2013, the Company entered into the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with CIG, whereby CIG agreed to provide expense support to the Company in an amount that is sufficient to: (1) ensure that no portion of the Company’s distributions to shareholders will be paid from its offering proceeds or borrowings, and/or (2) reduce the Company’s operating expenses until it has achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that it bears a reasonable level of expense in relation to its investment income. On December 16, 2015, the Company further amended and restated the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement for purposes of including AIM as a party to the agreement. On January 2, 2018, the Company entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with CIM for purposes of, among other things, replacing CIG and AIM with CIM as the expense support provider pursuant to the terms of the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement. On December 20, 2019, the Company and CIM amended the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement to extend the termination date of such agreement from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020.
Pursuant to the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, the Company will have a conditional obligation to reimburse CIM for any amounts funded by CIM under such agreement (i) if expense support amounts funded by CIM exceed operating expenses incurred during any fiscal quarter, (ii) if the sum of the Company’s net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by the Company to shareholders, and (iii) during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which CIM funded such amount. The obligation to reimburse CIM for any expense support provided by CIM under such agreement is further conditioned by the following: (i) in the period in which reimbursement is sought, the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets, when considering the reimbursement, cannot exceed the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets, as defined, for the period when the expense support was provided; (ii) in the period when reimbursement is sought, the annualized distribution rate cannot fall below the annualized distribution rate for the period when the expense support was provided; and (iii) the expense support can only be reimbursed within three years from the date the expense support was provided.
Expense support, if any, will be determined as appropriate to meet the objectives of the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company did not receive any expense support from CIM. See Note 5 for additional information on the sources of the Company’s distributions. The Company did not record any obligation to repay expense support from CIM during the three or six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company did not repay any expense support to CIM during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company may or may not be requested to reimburse any expense support provided in the future.
The Company or CIM may terminate the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement at any time. CIM has indicated that it expects to continue such expense support to ensure that the Company bears a reasonable level of expenses in relation to its income. If the Company terminates the investment advisory agreement with CIM, the Company may be required to repay all unreimbursed expense support funded by CIM within three years of the date of termination. There will be no acceleration or increase of such repayment obligation at termination of the investment advisory agreement with CIM. The specific amount of expense support provided by CIM, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. There can be no assurance that the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that CIM will support any portion of the Company’s expenses in future quarters.
As of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the total liability payable to CIM and its affiliates was
$12,012
, $15,771, and $13,497, respectively, which primarily related to fees earned by CIM during the three months ended June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Because CIM’s senior management team is comprised of substantially the same personnel as the senior management team of the Company’s affiliate, ICON Capital, LLC, which is the investment manager to certain equipment finance funds, or equipment funds, such members of senior management provide investment advisory and management services to the equipment funds in addition to the Company. In the event that CIM undertakes to provide investment advisory services to other clients in the future, it will strive to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with the Company’s investment objective and strategies so that the Company will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of the investment adviser or its senior management team. However, it is currently possible that some investment opportunities will be provided to other clients of CIM rather than to the Company.
I
ndemnifications
The investment advisory agreement, the administration agreement and the dealer manager agreement each provide certain indemnifications from the Company to the other relevant parties to such agreements. The Company’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown. However, the Company has not experienced claims or losses pursuant to these agreements and believes the risk of loss related to such indemnifications to be remote.
Note 5. Distributions
From February 1, 2014 through July 17, 2017, the Company’s board of directors authorized and declared on a monthly basis a weekly distribution amount per share of common stock. On July 18, 2017, the Company's board of directors authorized and declared on a quarterly basis a weekly distribution amount per share of common stock. Effective September 28, 2017, the Company's board of directors delegated to management the authority to determine the amount, record dates, payment dates and other terms of distributions to shareholders, which will be ratified by the board of directors, each on a quarterly basis. Beginning on March 19, 2020, management changed the timing of declaring distributions from quarterly to monthly and temporarily suspended the payment of distributions to shareholders commencing with the month ending April 30, 2020, whether in cash or pursuant to the Company's distribution reinvestment plan, as amended and restated. On July 15, 2020, the board of directors determined to recommence the payment of distributions to shareholders. As a result, on July 15, 2020, management declared regular monthly cash distributions for August 2020. Distributions in respect of future months will be reevaluated by management and the board of directors based on circumstances and expectations existing at the time of consideration. Declared distributions are paid monthly.
The Company’s board of directors declared or ratified distributions for 53 and 13 record dates during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

On July 15, 2020, the Company's co-chief executive officers declared regular monthly cash distributions of $0.04413 per share for August 2020. The distributions will be paid on August 26, 2020 to shareholders of record as of August 25, 2020. Shareholders who previously elected to receive distributions in additional shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Company's distribution reinvestment plan will be issued additional shares for the August 2020 distributions on August 26, 2020.
The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for shareholders. As a result, if the Company makes a distribution, shareholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the fifth amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock.
On December 8, 2016, the Company amended and restated its distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to the fifth amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan, or the Fifth Amended DRIP. The Fifth Amended DRIP became effective as of, and first applied to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on, February 1, 2017. Under the Fifth Amended DRIP, cash distributions to participating shareholders will be reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a purchase price equal to the estimated net asset value per share of common stock as of the date of issuance.

The Company may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense support from CIM, which is subject to repayment by the Company within three years. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, none of the Company's distributions resulted from expense support from CIM. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid such distributions being characterized as a return of capital. Shareholders should understand that any such distributions are not based on the Company’s investment performance, and can only be sustained if the Company achieves positive investment performance in future periods and/or CIM provides such expense support. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve such performance in order to sustain these distributions, or be able to pay distributions at all. CIM has no obligation to provide expense support to the Company in future periods. Shareholders should also understand that the Company’s future repayments of expense support will reduce the distributions that they would otherwise receive.
The following table reflects the sources of cash distributions on a GAAP basis that the Company has declared on its shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2019:

It is the Company's policy to comply with all requirements of the Code applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Company intends not to be subject to corporate level federal income tax or federal excise taxes. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with the Code and federal tax regulations, which may differ from amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. These book/tax differences, which could be material, are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investments held by the Company. Permanent book/tax differences result in reclassifications to capital in excess of par value, accumulated undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed realized gain on investments.
The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year based upon the Company’s taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. The tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders are reported to shareholders annually on Form 1099-DIV. All distributions for 2019 were characterized as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes.
The tax components of accumulated earnings for the current year will be determined at year end. As of December 31, 2019, the components of accumulated losses on a tax basis were as follows:
December 31, 2019
Undistributed ordinary income

(1,810)

The geographic dispersion is determined by the portfolio company's country of domicile.
As of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, investments on non-accrual status represented 3.0%, 0.4% and 0.6%, respectively, of the Company's investment portfolio on a fair value basis.
The Company’s investment portfolio may contain senior secured investments that are in the form of lines of credit, delayed draw term loans, revolving credit facilities, or unfunded commitments, which may require the Company to provide funding when requested in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. As of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Company’s unfunded commitments amounted to $66,915, $83,694 and $70,968, respectively. As of August 6, 2020, the Company’s unfunded commitments amounted to
$67,958
. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. Refer to Note 11 for further details on the Company’s unfunded commitments.
Note 7. CION SOF
CION SOF was organized on May 21, 2019 as a Delaware limited liability company, and commenced operations on October 2, 2019 when the Company and BCP Special Opportunities Fund I, LP, or BCP, entered into the limited liability company agreement of CION SOF for purposes of establishing the manner in which the parties would invest in and co-manage CION SOF. CION SOF invests primarily in senior secured loans of U.S. middle-market companies. The Company and BCP contributed a portfolio of loans to CION SOF representing membership equity of $31,289 and $4,470, respectively, in exchange for 87.5% and 12.5% of the membership interests of CION SOF, respectively. The Company and BCP are not required to make any additional capital contributions to CION SOF. The Company’s equity investment in CION SOF is not redeemable. All portfolio and other material decisions regarding CION SOF must be submitted to its board of managers, which is comprised of four members, two of whom were selected by the Company and the other two were selected by BCP. Further, all portfolio and other material decisions require the affirmative vote of at least one board member from the Company and one board member from BCP.
The Company also serves as administrative agent to CION SOF to provide loan servicing functions and other administrative services. In certain cases, these loan servicing functions and other administrative services may be performed by CIM.
On October 2, 2019, CION SOF entered into a senior secured credit facility with MS, or the SOF Credit Facility, for borrowings of up to a maximum amount of $75,000. Advances under the SOF Credit Facility are available through October 2, 2022 and bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR, plus a spread of (i) 3.0% per year through October 1, 2022 and (i) 3.5% per year thereafter through October 2, 2024. CION SOF's obligations to MS under the SOF Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of CION SOF. On October 2, 2019, CION SOF drew down $64,702 of borrowings under the SOF Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, the principal amount outstanding on the SOF Credit Facility was $60,702 and $64,144, respectively. The obligations of CION SOF under the SOF Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded dividend income from its equity interest in CION SOF of $2,487 and $1,076, respectively.
In accordance with ASU 2015-02,
Consolidation
, the Company has determined that CION SOF is a variable interest entity, or VIE. However, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate CION SOF. The Company's maximum exposure to losses from CION SOF is limited to its equity contribution to CION SOF.

Murray Hill Funding purchased the Notes issued by Murray Hill Funding II at a purchase price equal to their par value. Murray Hill Funding makes capital contributions to Murray Hill Funding II to, among other things, maintain the value of the portfolio of assets held by Murray Hill Funding II.
Principal on the Notes will be due and payable on the stated maturity date of May 19, 2027. Pursuant to the Indenture, Murray Hill Funding II has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. The Indenture contains events of default customary for similar transactions, including, without limitation: (a) the failure to make principal payments on the Notes at their stated maturity or any earlier redemption date or to make interest payments on the Notes and such failure is not cured within three business days; (b) the failure to disburse amounts in accordance with the priority of payments and such failure is not cured within three business days; and (c) the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and insolvency events with respect to Murray Hill Funding II or Murray Hill Funding.
Murray Hill Funding, in turn, entered into a repurchase transaction with UBS, pursuant to the terms of a Global Master Repurchase Agreement and the related Annex and Master Confirmation thereto, each dated May 19, 2017, or collectively, the UBS Facility.

Subject to certain conditions, the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased under the UBS Facility was $192,308. Accordingly, the aggregate maximum amount payable to Murray Hill Funding under the UBS Facility would not exceed $125,000.

The Company’s exposure under the Amended UBS Facility is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Murray Hill Funding.
Pursuant to the Amended UBS Facility, Murray Hill Funding has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. The Amended UBS Facility contains events of default customary for similar financing transactions, including, without limitation: (a) failure to transfer the Notes to UBS on the applicable purchase date or repurchase the Notes from UBS on the applicable repurchase date; (b) failure to pay certain fees and make-whole amounts when due; (c) failure to post cash collateral as required; (d) the occurrence of insolvency events with respect to Murray Hill Funding; and (e) the admission by Murray Hill Funding of its inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of its obligations under the Amended UBS Facility.

$2,637 in
connection with obtaining the Amended UBS Facility, which were recorded as a

On May 8, 2019, May 23, 2019, July 29, 2019 and November 6, 2019, 33rd Street repaid $20,000, $5,000, $10,000 and $2,500 of borrowings under the Amended MS Credit Facility, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the principal amount outstanding on the Amended MS Credit Facility was $112,500 and $125,000, respectively. On May 15, 2020, 33rd Street repaid all amounts outstanding on the Amended MS Credit Facility using a portion of the proceeds from the Second Amended JPM Credit Facility.
Advances under the Amended MS Credit Facility were available through December 19, 2020 and bore interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR, plus a spread of 3.0% per year through December 19, 2020. All advances under the Amended MS Credit Facility and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder were due and payable by no later than December 19, 2022. 33rd Street incurred certain customary costs and expenses in connection with obtaining and amending the MS Credit Facility.
33rd Street's obligations to MS under the Amended MS Credit Facility were secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of 33rd Street. The obligations of 33rd Street under the Amended MS Credit Facility were non-recourse to the Company, and the Company's exposure under the Amended MS Credit Facility was limited to the value of the Company's investment in 33rd Street. 33rd Street appointed CIM to manage its portfolio.
33rd Street paid an upfront fee and incurred certain other customary costs and expenses totaling $2,591 in connection with obtaining and amending the MS Credit Facility, which the Company initially recorded as prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense over the term of the Amended MS Credit Facility. On June 5, 2018, unamortized upfront fees were recorded as a direct reduction to the outstanding balance of the Amended MS Credit Facility in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. All unamortized debt issuance costs were expensed upon the repayment of all amounts outstanding on the Amended MS Credit Facility on May 15, 2020.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the components of interest expense, average borrowings, and weighted average interest rate for the Amended MS Credit Facility were as follows:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s senior secured first lien debt, senior secured second lien debt, collateralized securities and structured products, unsecured debt and equity are discount rates, EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples, broker quotes and expected volatility. A significant increase or decrease in discount rates would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively. A significant increase or decrease in the EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples, expected proceeds from proposed corporate transactions, broker quotes and expected volatility would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.

Unless otherwise noted, the funding criteria for these unfunded commitments had not been met at the date indicated.
Unfunded commitments to provide funds to companies are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. The Company intends to use cash on hand, short-term investments, proceeds from borrowings, and other liquid assets to fund these commitments should the need arise. For information on the companies to which the Company is committed to fund additional amounts as of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, refer to the table above and the consolidated schedules of investments. As of August 6, 2020, the Company was committed, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, to fund an additio
nal $67,958.
The Company will fund its unfunded commitments from the same sources it uses to fund its investment commitments that are funded at the time they are made (i.e., advances from its financing arrangements and/or cash flows from operations). The Company will not fund its unfunded commitments from future net proceeds generated by securities offerings, if any. The Company follows a process to manage its liquidity and ensure that it has available capital to fund its unfunded commitments. Specifically, the Company prepares detailed analyses of the level of its unfunded commitments relative to its then available liquidity on a daily basis. These analyses are reviewed and discussed on a weekly basis by the Company’s executive officers and senior members of CIM (including members of the investment committee) and are updated on a “real time” basis in order to ensure that the Company has adequate liquidity to satisfy its unfunded commitments.
As of June 30, 2020, no contingencies have been recorded on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of COVID-19, however as the global pandemic continues and the economic implications worsen, it may have long-term impacts on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Refer to Note 2 for a further discussion of COVID-19.

The per share data for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2019 was derived by using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during each period.
(2)
The amount shown for net realized and net change in unrealized losses on investments is the balancing figure derived from the other figures in the schedule. The amount shown at this caption for a share outstanding throughout the period may not agree with the change in the aggregate gains and losses in portfolio securities for the period because of the timing of sales and repurchases of the Company’s shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio. As a result, net (decrease) increase in net assets resulting from operations in this schedule may vary from the consolidated statements of operations.
(3)
The continuous issuance of shares of common stock may have caused an incremental increase in net asset value per share due to the sale of shares at the then prevailing public offering price and the receipt of net proceeds per share by the Company in excess of net asset value per share on each subscription closing date. The per share impact of the continuous issuance of shares of common stock was an increase to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2019.

(4)
Repurchases of common stock may cause an incremental decrease in net asset value per share due to the repurchase of shares at a price in excess of net asset value per share on each repurchase date. The per share impact of repurchases of common stock was a decrease to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2019.
(5)
Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held the Company’s common stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions paid or payable during the period. Total investment return-net asset value is based on (i) the beginning period net asset value per share on the first day of the period, (ii) the net asset value per share on the last day of the period of (A) one share plus (B) any fractional shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of monthly distributions, and (iii) the value of distributions payable, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return-net asset value calculation assumes that monthly cash distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company's distribution reinvestment plan then in effect as described in Note 5. The total investment return-net asset value does not consider the effect of the sales load from the sale of the Company’s common stock. The total investment return-net asset value includes the effect of the issuance of shares at a net offering price that is greater than net asset value per share, which causes an increase in net asset value per share. Total returns covering less than a full year are not annualized.
(6)
Ratio is not annualized for periods less than one year.
(7)
Ratio of gross operating expenses to average net assets does not include expense support provided by CIM, if any.
(8)
Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of year-to-date sales or purchases over the average of the invested assets at fair value, excluding short term investments, and is not annualized.
(9)
Asset coverage ratio is equal to (i) the sum of (a) net assets at the end of the period and (b) total senior securities outstanding at the end of the period (excluding unfunded commitments), divided by (ii) total senior securities outstanding at the end of the period.
Note 14. Israeli Securities Regulation
The Securities Regulations (Annual Financial Statements), 2010 of Israel, or the Israeli Securities Regulation, requires certain disclosures that are not required by GAAP.
International Financial Reporting Standards
The differences between GAAP and the International Financial Reporting Standards, which are required under the Israeli Securities Regulation, are not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Overview
We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on August 9, 2011 and commenced operations on December 17, 2012 upon raising proceeds of $2,500 from persons not affiliated with us, CIM or Apollo. We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Code.
Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation for investors. Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured debt, including first lien loans, second lien loans and unitranche loans, and, to a lesser extent, collateralized securities, structured products and other similar securities, unsecured debt and equity, of private and thinly-traded U.S. middle-market companies. In connection with our debt investments, we may receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also purchase equity interests in the form of common or preferred stock in our target companies, either in conjunction with one of our debt investments or through a co-investment with a financial sponsor.
We are managed by CIM, our affiliate and a registered investment adviser. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with us, CIM oversees the management of our activities and is responsible for making investment decisions for our portfolio. On November 5, 2019, our board of directors, including a majority of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement with CIM for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2019. We and CIM previously engaged AIM to act as our investment sub-adviser.
On July 11, 2017, the members of CIM entered into the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement for the purpose of creating a joint venture between AIM and CIG. Under the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement, AIM became a member of CIM and was issued a newly-created class of membership interests in CIM pursuant to which AIM, among other things, shares in the profits, losses, distributions and expenses of CIM with the other members in accordance with the terms of the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement, which results in CIG and AIM each owning a 50% economic interest in CIM.
On July 10, 2017, our independent directors unanimously approved the termination of the investment sub-advisory agreement with AIM, effective as of July 11, 2017, as part of the new and ongoing relationship among us, CIM and AIM. Although the investment sub-advisory agreement and AIM's engagement as our investment sub-adviser were terminated, AIM's investment professionals continue to perform certain services for CIM and us, including, without limitation, identifying investment opportunities for approval by CIM's investment committee. AIM is not paid a separate fee in exchange for such services, but is entitled to receive distributions as a member of CIM as described above.
On December 4, 2017, the members of CIM entered into the Fourth Amended CIM LLC Agreement. Under the Fourth Amended CIM LLC Agreement, AIM’s investment professionals perform certain services for CIM, which include, among other services, (i) assistance with identifying and providing information about potential investment opportunities for approval by CIM’s investment committee; and (ii) providing (a) trade and settlement support; (b) portfolio and cash reconciliation; (c) market pipeline information regarding syndicated deals, in each case, as reasonably requested by CIM; and (d) monthly valuation reports and support for all broker-quoted investments. All of our investment decisions are the sole responsibility of, and are made at the sole discretion of, CIM's investment committee, which consists entirely of CIG personnel.
We seek to meet our investment objective by utilizing the experienced management team of CIM, which includes its access to the relationships and human capital of its affiliates in sourcing, evaluating and structuring transactions, as well as monitoring and servicing our investments. We focus primarily on the senior secured debt of private and thinly-traded U.S. middle-market companies, which we define as companies that generally possess annual EBITDA of $50 million or less, with experienced management teams, significant free cash flow, strong competitive positions and potential for growth.
Revenue
We primarily generate revenue in the form of interest income on the debt securities that we hold and capital gains on debt or other equity interests that we acquire in portfolio companies. The majority of our senior debt investments bear interest at a floating rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable quarterly or monthly. In some cases, some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued, but unpaid, interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment and capital structuring fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and possibly consulting fees and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments will be recognized when earned.
Operating Expenses
Our primary operating expenses are the payment of advisory fees under the investment advisory agreement and interest expense on our financing arrangements. Our investment advisory fees compensate CIM for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions.
65
Recent Developments - COVID-19
The rapid spread of COVID-19, and associated impacts on the U.S. and global economies and the financial and credit markets, has negatively impacted, and is likely to continue to negatively impact, our business operations and the business operations of some of our portfolio companies. We cannot at this time fully predict the impact of COVID-19 on our business or the business of our portfolio companies, its duration or magnitude or the extent to which it will negatively impact our portfolio companies’ operating results or our own results of operations or financial condition, including, without limitation, our ability to pay distributions. We expect that certain of our portfolio companies will continue to experience economic distress for the foreseeable future and may significantly limit business operations if subjected to prolonged economic distress. These developments could result in a decrease in the value of our investments.
COVID-19 has already had adverse effects on our investment income and we expect that such adverse effects will continue for some time. These adverse effects may require us to restructure certain of our investments, which could result in further reductions to our investment income or in impairments on our investments. In addition, disruptions in the capital markets have resulted in illiquidity in certain market areas. These market disruptions and illiquidity are likely to have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Unfavorable economic conditions caused by COVID-19 can also be expected to increase our funding costs and limit our access to the capital markets. These events have limited our investment originations, which is likely to continue for the immediate future, and have also had a material negative impact on our operating results.
We will continue to carefully monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the business of our portfolio companies. Because the full effects of COVID-19 are not capable of being known at this time, we cannot estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, including its effects on us with respect to our compliance with covenants in our financing arrangements with lenders. We do, however, expect that it will continue to have a negative impact on our business and the financial condition of our portfolio companies.

Our investment portfolio may contain senior secured investments that are in the form of lines of credit, delayed draw term loans, revolving credit facilities, or unfunded commitments, which may require us to provide funding when requested in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. As of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, our
unfunded commitments amounted to
$66,915,
$83,694 and $70,968, respectively. As of August 6, 2020, our unfunded commitments amount
e
d to $67,958. Si
nce these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for us. Refer to the section “Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” for further details on our unfunded commitments.
Investment Portfolio Asset Quality
CIM uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor our expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. These ratings are just one of several factors that CIM uses to monitor our portfolio, are not in and of themselves determinative of fair value or revenue recognition and are presented for indicative purposes. CIM rates the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 5 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (i.e., at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company’s business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors.
69
The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating used in this ratings system:
Investment Rating
Description
1
Indicates the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a potential exit.
2
Indicates a level of risk to our initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is generally performing in accordance with our analysis of its business and the full return of principal and interest or dividend is expected.
3
Indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has increased since origination or acquisition, but full return of principal and interest or dividend is expected. A portfolio company with an investment rating of 3 requires closer monitoring.
4
Indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has increased significantly since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and noncompliance with debt covenants, and we expect some loss of interest, dividend or capital appreciation, but still expect an overall positive internal rate of return on the investment.
5
Indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. Loss of interest or dividend and some loss of principal investment is expected, which would result in an overall negative internal rate of return on the investment.
For investments rated 3, 4, or 5, CIM enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company.
The following table summarizes the composition of our investment portfolio based on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, excluding short term investments of $31,668, $29,527 and $33,740, respectively:

The amount of the investment portfolio in each rating category may vary substantially from period to period resulting primarily from changes in the composition of such portfolio as a result of new investment, repayment and exit activities. In addition, changes in the rating of investments may be made to reflect our expectation of performance and changes in investment values.

Investment Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we generated investment income of $35,808 and $49,519, respectively, consisting primarily of interest income on investments in senior secured debt and collateralized securities and structured products of 122 and 147 portfolio companies held during each respective period. Our average investment portfolio size, excluding our short term investments, decreased $246,697, from $1,807,209 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $1,560,512 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as (i) the non-income producing equity portion of our portfolio increased from $28,955 as of June 30, 2019 to $34,734 as of June 30, 2020 and (ii) the size of our investment portfolio as a whole decreased. COVID-19 could cause liquidity issues at our portfolio companies, which could restrict their ability to make cash interest payments to us. Additionally, we may experience full or partial losses on our investments, which may ultimately reduce our investment income in future periods.

The decrease in subordinated incentive fee on income was primarily the result of lower investment income generated on our investments during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of lower LIBOR rates during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in interest expense was also the result of lower average borrowings on our financing arrangements during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, which also resulted in a decrease in total assets and therefore a decrease in management fees during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
The composition of our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was as follows:

Net Investment Income
Our net investment income totaled $13,916 and $21,661 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. A decrease in investment income during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 was partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses during the same period.
Net Realized Loss on Investments and Foreign Currency
Our net realized loss on investments and foreign currency totaled ($10,986) and ($2,374) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This change was driven primarily by realized losses on the restructure of certain investments during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments
The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments totaled $13,657 and ($11,253) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This change was driven primarily by unrealized losses on certain underperforming investments during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
72
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on Foreign Currency Translation
The net change in unrealized appreciation on foreign currency translation totaled $0 and $113 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This change in unrealized depreciation was due to the realization of previously unrealized depreciation during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $16,587 and $8,147, respectively, as a result of our operating activity for the respective periods.

Our average investment portfolio size, excluding our short term investments, decreased $198,076, from $1,835,878 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $1,637,803 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as (i) the non-income producing equity portion of our portfolio increased from $28,955 as of June 30, 2019 to $34,734 as of June 30, 2020 and (ii) the size of our investment portfolio as a whole decreased.

Net Investment Income
Our net investment income totaled $35,577 and $43,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. A decrease in investment income during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 was partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses during the same period.
Net Realized Loss on Investments and Foreign Currency
Our net realized loss on investments and foreign currency totaled ($15,182) and ($3,334) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This change was driven primarily by realized losses on the restructure of certain investments during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Net Change in Unrealized Depreciation on Investments
The net change in unrealized depreciation on our investments totaled ($109,720) and ($15,303) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This change was driven primarily by the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 around the world during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which caused significant uncertainty and volatility in the U.S. and global economies as well as in the financial and credit markets. To the extent that the credit risk of our portfolio companies increases as a result of financial impacts due to COVID-19, we may incur additional unrealized depreciation in future periods.
Net (Decrease) Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a net (decrease) increase in net assets resulting from operations of ($89,325) and $24,563, respectively, as a result of our operating activity for the respective periods. The decrease was driven primarily by the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 around the world during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which caused significant uncertainty and volatility in the U.S. and global economies as well as in the financial and credit markets.
This “Results of Operations” discussion should also be read in conjunction with “Recent Developments - COVID-19” above.

Net Asset Value per Share, Annual Investment Return and Total Return Since Inception
Our net asset value per share was $7.43 and $8.40 on June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. After considering (i) the overall changes in net asset value per share, (ii) paid distributions of approximately $0.1829 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2020, and (iii) the assumed reinvestment of those distributions in accordance with our distribution reinvestment plan then in effect, the total investment return-net asset value was (9.47)% for the six month period ended June 30, 2020. Total investment return-net asset value does not represent and may be higher than an actual return to shareholders because it excludes all sales commissions and dealer manager fees. Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held our common stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions paid or payable during the period, and is described further in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Initial shareholders who subscribed to the offering in December 2012 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $9.00 per share (public offering price excluding sales load) have seen an annualized return of 5.34% and a cumulative total return of 48.05% through June 30, 2020 (see chart below). Initial shareholders who subscribed to the offering in December 2012 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $10.00 per share (the initial public offering price including sales load) have seen an annualized return of 3.88% and a cumulative total return of 33.24% through June 30, 2020. Over the same time period, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, a primary measure of senior debt covering the U.S. leveraged loan market, which currently consists of approximately 1,000 credit facilities throughout numerous industries, recorded an annualized return of 3.31% and a cumulative total return of 27,82%. In addition, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index, a primary measure of short-term US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the US domestic market, recorded an annualized return of 4.70% and a cumulative total return of 41.42% over the same period.
(1) Cumulative performance: December 17, 2012 to June 30, 2020
The calculations for the Growth of $10,000 Initial Investment are based upon (i) an initial investment of $10,000 in our common stock at the beginning of the period, at a share price of $10.00 per share (including sales load) and $9.00 per share (excluding sales load), (ii) assumes reinvestment of monthly distributions in accordance with our distribution reinvestment plan then in effect, (iii) the sale of the entire investment position at the net asset value per share on the last day of the period, and (iv) the distributions declared and payable to shareholders, if any, on the last day of the period.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate cash primarily from cash flows from interest, fees and dividends earned from our investments as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. We also employ leverage to seek to enhance our returns as market conditions permit and at the discretion of CIM. On March 23, 2018, an amendment to Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act was signed into law to permit BDCs to reduce the minimum "asset coverage" ratio from 200% to 150% and, as a result, to potentially increase the ratio of a BDC's debt to equity from a maximum of 1-to-1 to a maximum of 2-to-1, so long as certain approval and disclosure requirements are satisfied. We currently have not determined whether to seek to utilize such additional leverage. We generated cash from the net proceeds from our continuous public offerings. Our initial continuous public offering commenced on July 2, 2012 and ended on December 31, 2015. Our follow-on continuous public offering commenced on January 25, 2016 and ended on January 25, 2019.
The outbreak and spread of COVID-19 have caused severe stress and uncertainty in the U.S. and global economies as well as in the financial and credit markets. Given the uncertainty as to the full severity and duration of the pandemic and its effects on us with respect to our compliance with covenants in our loan facilities with lenders and our borrowers’ ability to timely meet their financial obligations to us, management and our board of directors determined that it was in the best interest of our company and all of our shareholders to take certain steps disclosed below during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that were necessary to improve our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in the short term. This “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” discussion should also be read in conjunction with “Recent Developments - COVID-19” above.
On March 19, 2020, our co-chief executive officers determined to (i) change the timing of declaring distributions to shareholders from quarterly to monthly; and (ii) temporarily suspend the payment of distributions to shareholders commencing with the month ending April 30, 2020, whether in cash or pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, as amended and restated. On July 15, 2020, the board of directors determined to recommence the payment of distributions to shareholders. As a result, on July 15, 2020, our co-chief executive officers declared regular monthly cash distributions of $0.04413 per share for August 2020. Distributions in respect of future months will be reevaluated by management and our board of directors based on circumstances and expectations existing at the time of consideration.
On March 19, 2020, our board of directors, including the independent directors, determined to temporarily suspend our share repurchase program commencing with the second quarter of 2020. Share repurchases for future quarters will be reevaluated by our board of directors based on circumstances and expectations existing at the time of consideration.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we indefinitely deferred the payment of subordinated incentive fees to CIM in the amount of $3,308.
As of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, we had $31,668, $29,527 and $33,740 in short term investments, respectively, invested in a fund that primarily invests in U.S. government securities.
JPM Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2020 and August 6, 2020, our outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended JPM Credit Facility were $646,035 and $632,535, respectively, and the aggregate unfunded principal amount in connection with the Second Amended JPM Credit Facility was $53,965 and
$67,465, respectively. F

76
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of certain recent accounting pronouncements that are applicable to us.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we also utilize available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming our estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
The value of our assets is determined quarterly and at such other times that an event occurs that materially affects the valuation. The valuation is made pursuant to Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires that we value our assets as follows: (i) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available, and (ii) for all other securities and assets, at fair value, as determined in good faith by our board of directors. As a BDC, Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act requires the board of directors to determine in good faith the fair value of portfolio securities for which a market price is not readily available, and it does so in conjunction with the application of our valuation procedures by CIM.
There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each asset while employing a valuation process that is consistently followed. Determinations of fair value involve subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations in our consolidated financial statements.
Valuation Methods
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, we undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
•
our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by certain of CIM’s investment professionals and certain members of its management team, with such valuation taking into account information received from various sources, including independent valuation firms, if applicable;
•
preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with members of CIM’s management team;
•
designated members of CIM’s management team review the preliminary valuation, and, if applicable, deliver such preliminary valuation to an independent valuation firm for its review;
•
designated members of CIM’s management team, and, if appropriate, the relevant investment professionals meet with the independent valuation firm to discuss the preliminary valuation;
•
designated members of CIM’s management team respond and supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the independent valuation firm;
•
our audit committee meets with members of CIM’s management team and the independent valuation firms to discuss the assistance provided and the results of the independent valuation firms' review; and
•
our board of directors discusses the valuation and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of CIM, the audit committee and any third-party valuation firm, if applicable.
In addition to the foregoing, certain investments for which a market price is not readily available are evaluated on a quarterly basis by an independent valuation firm and certain other investments are on a rotational basis reviewed by an independent valuation firm. Finally, certain investments are not evaluated by an independent valuation firm unless certain aspects of such investments in the aggregate meet certain criteria.
Given the expected types of investments, excluding short term investments and stock of publicly traded companies that are classified as Level 1, management expects our portfolio holdings to be classified as Level 3. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, particularly for Level 3 investments, such fair value estimates may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market for the investments existed. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses that we ultimately realize on these investments to materially differ from the valuations currently assigned. Inputs used in the valuation process are subject to variability in the future and can result in materially different fair values.

Contractual Obligations
On August 26, 2016, 34th Street entered into the JPM Credit Facility with JPM, as amended and restated on September 30, 2016, July 11, 2017, November 28, 2017 May 23, 2018 and May 15, 2020. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description of the JPM Credit Facility.
On May 19, 2017, Murray Hill Funding II entered into the UBS Facility with UBS, as amended on December 1, 2017 and May 19, 2020. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description of the UBS Facility.
Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Commitments and Contingencies
We have entered into certain contracts with other parties that contain a variety of indemnifications. Our maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, we have not experienced claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believe the risk of loss related to such indemnifications to be remote.
Our investment portfolio may contain debt investments that are in the form of lines of credit, delayed draw term loans, revolving credit facilities, or other unfunded commitments, which may require us to provide funding when requested in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. For further details on such debt investments, refer to Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements, except for those discussed in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.
78
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2020, 90.3% of our investments paid variable interest rates. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to our debt investments, especially to the extent that we hold variable rate investments, and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we may hold. To the extent that a majority of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates could make it easier for us to meet or exceed our incentive fee hurdle rate, as defined in our investment advisory agreement, and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income, and also to the amount of incentive fees payable to CIM with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income.
Under the terms of the Second Amended JPM Credit Facility, advances currently bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR, plus a spread of 3.25% per year. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended UBS Facility, we currently pay a financing fee equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.90% per year. In addition, we may seek to further borrow funds in order to make additional investments. Our net investment income will be impacted, in part, by the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we would be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we have debt outstanding, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments. We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and long-term debt. Our interest rate risk management techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, excluding short term investments, assuming no changes in our investment portfolio, the Second Amended JPM Credit Facility or the Amended UBS Facility in effect as of June 30, 2020:

This table assumes no change in defaults or prepayments by portfolio companies over the next twelve months.
The interest rate sensitivity analysis presented above does not consider the potential impact of the changes in fair value of our fixed rate debt investments and the net asset value of our common stock in the event of sudden changes in interest rates. Approximately 5.5% of our investments paid fixed interest rates as of June 30, 2020. Rising market interest rates will most likely lead to fair value declines for fixed interest rate investments and a decline in the net asset value of our common stock, while declining market interest rates will most likely lead to an increase in the fair value of fixed interest rate investments and an increase in the net asset value of our common stock.
In addition, we may have risk regarding portfolio valuation as discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.
79
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2020, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Disclosure controls and procedures cannot detect or prevent all error and fraud. Some inherent limitations in disclosure controls and procedures include costs of implementation, faulty decision-making, simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all anticipated and unanticipated future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with established policies or procedures.
Evaluation of internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
80
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies and other third parties. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that any such proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 or our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We did not engage in any unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
