APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Organization
Apollo Investment Corporation (Apollo Investment, the Company, AIC, we, us, or our), a Maryland corporation incorporated on February�2, 2004, is a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). In addition, for tax purposes we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (RIC), under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation. We invest primarily in various forms of debt investments, including secured and unsecured debt, loan investments, and/or equity in private middle-market companies. We may also invest in the securities of public companies and in structured products and other investments such as collateralized loan obligations and credit-linked notes ("CLOs" and "CLNs", respectively). Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in debt, including secured and unsecured debt of private middle-market companies, that, in the case of senior secured loans, generally are not broadly syndicated and whose aggregate tranche size is typically less than $250 million. Our portfolio also includes equity interests such as common stock, preferred stock, warrants or options.
Apollo Investment commenced operations on April�8, 2004 when it received net proceeds of $870,000 from its initial public offering by selling 62�million shares of common stock at a price of $15.00 per share. Since then, and through September�30, 2014, we have raised approximately $2,210,099 in net proceeds from additional offerings of common stock.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the financial statements.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 946. In accordance with Regulation S-X, the Company generally will not consolidate its interest in any company other than in investment company subsidiaries and controlled operating companies substantially all of whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Consequently, the Company has not consolidated special purpose entities through which the special purpose entity acquires and holds investments subject to financing with third parties. As of September�30, 2014, the Company did not have any subsidiaries or controlled operating companies that were consolidated (see additional information within note 5).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.
Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X, as appropriate. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March�31, 2014. Certain amounts have been reclassified on the Statement of Operations. Included in $1,728 of investment interest income from non-controlled/affiliated investments for the six months ended September�30, 2013 is $263 of investment income previously classified as investment interest income from controlled investments for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Included in $9,564 of investment dividend income from non-controlled/affiliated investments for the six months ended September�30, 2013 is $4,825 of investment income previously classified as investment dividend income from controlled investments for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only securities with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase would qualify, with limited exceptions. The Company deems that certain U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities would qualify as cash equivalents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)

Fair Value Measurements
Under procedures established by our board of directors, we value investments, including certain secured debt, unsecured debt, and other debt securities with maturities greater than 60 days, for which market quotations are readily available at such market quotations (unless they are deemed not to represent fair value). We attempt to obtain market quotations from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, otherwise from a principal market maker or a primary market dealer or other independent pricing service). We utilize mid-market pricing as a practical expedient for fair value unless a different point within the range is more representative. If and when market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, we typically utilize independent third party valuation firms to assist us in determining fair value. Accordingly, such investments go through our multi-step valuation process as described below. In each case, our independent third party valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such investments. Debt investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may each be valued at cost with interest accrued or discount amortized to the date of maturity, unless such valuation, in the judgment of our investment adviser, does not represent fair value. In this case, such investments shall be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors, using market quotations where available. Investments that are not publicly traded or whose market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our board of directors has approved a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
(1)
our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of our investment adviser who is responsible for the portfolio investment;
(2)
preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of our investment adviser;
(3)
independent valuation firms are engaged by our board of directors to conduct independent appraisals by reviewing our investment advisers preliminary valuations and then making their own independent assessment;
(4)
the audit committee of the board of directors reviews the preliminary valuation of our investment adviser and the valuation prepared by the independent valuation firm and responds to the valuation recommendation of the independent valuation firm to reflect any comments; and
(5)
the board of directors discusses valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in our portfolio based on the input of our investment adviser, the applicable independent valuation firm, third party pricing services, and the audit committee.
Investments in all asset classes are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market (as the reporting entity), and enterprise values, among other factors. When readily available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process. As of September�30, 2014, there has been no change to the Companys valuation techniques and related inputs considered in the valuation process.
ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values 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.

35

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls 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.
Realized Gains and Losses
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on investments are calculated by using the specific identification method. Securities that have been called by the issuer are recorded at the call price on the call effective date.
Investment Income Recognition
The Company records interest and dividend income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. Some of our loans and other investments, including certain preferred equity investments, may have contractual payment-in-kind (PIK) interest or dividends. PIK interest and dividends computed at the contractual rate are accrued into income and reflected as receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, the Company capitalizes the accrued interest or dividends receivable (reflecting such amounts as the basis in the additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. At the point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends are reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. The Company does not reverse previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status if the Company believes that PIK is expected to be realized.
Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest and/or dividends in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest/dividend cash payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when it is no longer probable that principal or interest/dividend cash payments will be collected. Such non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest or dividends are paid in cash, and in managements judgment, are likely to continue timely payment of their remaining interest or dividend obligations. Interest or dividend cash payments received on non-accrual designated investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment.
Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discounts are capitalized and amortized into income using the interest method or straight-line, as applicable. Upon the prepayment of a loan, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other investments as interest income when we receive such amounts. Other income generally includes amendment fees, bridge fees, and structuring fees, which are recorded when earned.
The Company records as interest or dividend income the accretable yield from its beneficial interests in structured products such as CLOs based upon a number of cash flow assumptions that are subject to uncertainties and contingencies. Such assumptions include the rate and timing of principal and interest receipts (which may be subject to prepayments and defaults) of the underlying pool of assets. These assumptions are updated on at least a quarterly basis to reflect changes related to a particular security, actual historical data, and market changes. Structured product investments typically have an underlying pool of assets. Payments on structured product investments are payable solely from the cash flows from such assets. As such, any unforeseen event in these underlying pool of assets might impact the expected recovery of principal and future accrual of income.
Expenses
Expenses include management fees, performance-based incentive fees, insurance expenses, administrative service fees, legal fees, directors' fees, audit and tax service expenses, and other general and administrative expenses. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.
Dividends to Common Stockholders
Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded as of the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the board of directors each quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.

36

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)

Income Taxes
The Company complies with the applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to regulated investment companies that make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it of substantially all Federal income taxes. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income, if any, as required.
Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified among the Companys capital accounts. In addition, the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Foreign Currency
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 rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars 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. The Companys investments in foreign securities may involve certain risks, including without limitation: foreign exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic risks, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investment. In addition, changes in the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of these investments and therefore the earnings of the Company.
Equity Offering Expenses
The Company records expenses related to shelf filings and applicable offering costs as deferred financing costs in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. To the extent such expenses relate to equity offerings, these expenses are charged as a reduction of capital upon utilization, in accordance with ASC 946-20-25.
Debt Issuance Costs
The Company records origination and other expenses related to its debt obligations as deferred financing costs in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These expenses are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the stated life of the obligation which approximates the effective yield method.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may make investments in derivative instruments. The derivative instruments are fair valued with changes to the fair value reflected in net unrealized gain/loss during the reporting period and recorded within realized gain/loss upon exit and settlement of the contract. The accrual of periodic interest settlements is recorded in net unrealized gain/loss and subsequently recorded as net realized gain or loss on the interest settlement date.
The Company may enter into forward exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency risk. These contracts are fair valued by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2013, the FASB issued guidance to change the assessment of whether an entity is an investment company by developing a new two-tiered approach that requires an entity to possess certain fundamental characteristics while allowing judgment in assessing certain typical characteristics. The fundamental characteristics that an investment company is required to have include the following: (1)�it obtains funds from one or more investors and provides the investor(s) with investment management services; (2)�it commits to its investor(s) that its business purpose and only substantive activities are investing the funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both; and (3)�it does not obtain returns or benefits from an investee or its affiliates that are not normally attributable to ownership interests. The typical characteristics of an investment company that an entity should consider before concluding whether it is an investment company include the following: (1)�it has more than one investment; (2)�it has more than one investor; (3)�it has investors that are not related parties of the parent or the investment manager; (4)�it has ownership interests in the form of equity or partnership interests; and (5)�it manages substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis. The new approach requires an entity to assess all of the characteristics of an investment company and consider its purpose and

37

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)

design to determine whether it is an investment company. The guidance includes disclosure requirements about an entitys status as an investment company and financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to its investees. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December�15, 2013. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance to establish a comprehensive and converged standard on revenue recognition to enable financial statement users to better understand and consistently analyze an entitys revenue across industries, transactions, and geographies. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new guidance also specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. The new guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. Qualitative and quantitative information is required to be disclosed about: (1) contracts with customers, (2) significant judgments and changes in judgments, and (3) assets recognized from costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new guidance will apply to all entities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial statements.
Note 3. Agreements
The Company has an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the Investment Advisory Agreement) with Apollo Investment Management, L.P. (the Investment Adviser or AIM), under which the Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to the Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives a fee from the Company, consisting of two components  a base management fee and a performance-based incentive fee. The base management fee is determined by taking the average value of our gross assets, net of the average of any payable for cash equivalents at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, calculated at an annual rate of 2.00%. The incentive fee has two parts, as follows: one part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under an administration agreement (the Administration Agreement) between the Company and Apollo Investment Administration, LLC (the Administrator), and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to the rate of 1.75%�per quarter (7% annualized). For the period between April�2, 2012 and March�31, 2015, AIM has agreed to voluntarily waive the management and incentive fees on the common shares issued on April 2, 2012 and May 20, 2013.
The Investment Adviser has also entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement with CION Investment Corporation ("CION") (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") under which AIM receives management and incentive fees from CION in connection with the investment advisory services provided. For the period between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015, the Investment Adviser has agreed to waive all base management fees receivable under the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company in the amount equal to the amount actually received by AIM from CION, less the fully allocated incremental expenses accrued by AIM.
The Company pays the Investment Adviser an incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1)�no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed 1.75%, which we commonly refer to as the performance threshold; (2)�100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 1.75% but does not exceed 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and (3)�20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter. These calculations are appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months. The effect

38

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)

of the fee calculation described above is that if pre-incentive fee net investment income is equal to or exceeds 2.1875%, the Investment Adviser will receive a fee of 20% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the quarter.
The second part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date) and will equal 20% of our cumulative realized capital gains less cumulative realized capital losses, unrealized capital loss (unrealized loss on a gross investment-by-investment basis at the end of each calendar year) and all capital gains upon which prior performance-based capital gains incentive fee payments were previously made to the Investment Adviser. For accounting purposes only, we are required under GAAP to accrue a theoretical capital gains incentive fee based upon net realized capital gains and unrealized capital gain and loss on investments held at the end of each period.
The accrual of this theoretical capital gains incentive fee assumes all unrealized capital gain and loss is realized in order to reflect a theoretical capital gains incentive fee that would be payable to the Investment Adviser at each measurement date. There was no accrual for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. It should be noted that a fee so calculated and accrued would not be payable under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act) or the Investment Advisory Agreement and would not be paid based upon such computation of capital gains incentive fees in subsequent periods. Amounts actually paid to the Investment Adviser will be consistent with the Advisers Act and formula reflected in the Investment Advisory Agreement, which specifically excludes consideration of unrealized capital gain.
For the time period between April�1, 2013 and March�31, 2015, AIM has agreed to be paid the portion of the performance-based incentive fee that is attributable to deferred interest, such as PIK, when the Company receives such interest in cash. The accrual of incentive fees shall be reversed if such interest is reversed in connection with any write off or similar treatment of the investment. Upon payment of the deferred incentive fee, AIM will also receive interest on the deferred interest at an annual rate of 3.25% for the period between the date in which the incentive fee is earned and the date of payment.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized $18,878 and $36,989, respectively, of base management fees and $15,393 and $27,860, respectively, of performance-based incentive fees. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized $15,356 and $30,113, respectively, of base management fees and $11,545 and $23,994, respectively, of performance-based incentive fees. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, total management fees waived were $2,241 and $4,948, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, total management fees waived were $1,893 and $2,966, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, total incentive fees waived were $1,800 and $3,245, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2013 , total incentive fees waived were $1,433 and $2,333, respectively.

The amount of the deferred incentive fees for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 is $1,328 and $2,487, respectively. The amount of the deferred incentive fees for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013 is $1,158 and $2,238, respectively. The cumulative incentive fee on PIK income included in management and performance-based incentive fee payable line of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at September�30, 2014 and March�31, 2014 is $9,295 and $6,936, respectively.
The Company has also entered into an Administration Agreement with the Administrator under which the Administrator provides administrative services for the Company. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimburses the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred and requested to be reimbursed by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. These expenses include rent and the Companys allocable portion of its chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, and their respective staffs. The Administrator will also provide, on our behalf, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the Company is required to provide such assistance. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized expenses under the Administration Agreement of $1,525 and $2,958, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized expenses under the Administration Agreement of $1,109 and $2,206, respectively.

Merx Aviation Finance, LLC (Merx), a wholly-owned portfolio company of the Company, has also entered into an administration agreement (Merx Administration Agreement) with the Administrator under which the Administrator provides administrative services to Merx for an annual fee of $150. The fee received from Merx by the Company is included in expense reimbursements in the Statement of Operations. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized expense reimbursements of $75, respectively, under the Merx Administration Agreement. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not recognize any expense reimbursements under the Merx Administration Agreement.

Note 5.�Investments
AIC Credit Opportunity Fund LLC 
We owned all of the common member interests in AIC Credit Opportunity Fund LLC (AIC Holdco). AIC Holdco was formed for the purpose of holding various financed investments. AIC Holdco wholly owned three special purpose entities, each of which in 2008 acquired directly or indirectly an investment in a particular security from an unaffiliated entity that provided leverage for the investment as part of the sale. As of March 31, 2014, the three special purpose entities along with AIC Holdco were dissolved. Each of these transactions is described in more detail below together with summary financial statements.
In June 2008 we invested through AIC Holdco $39,500 in AIC (FDC) Holdings LLC (Apollo FDC). Apollo FDC used the proceeds to purchase a Junior Profit-Participating Note due 2013 in principal amount of $39,500 (the Junior Note) issued by Apollo I Trust (the Trust). The Trust also issued a Senior Floating Rate Note due 2013 (the Senior Note) to an unaffiliated third party in principal amount of $39,500 paying interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.50%, increasing over time to LIBOR plus 2.0%. The Trust used the aggregate $79,000 proceeds to acquire $100,000 face value of a senior subordinated loan of First Data Corporation (the FDC Loan) due 2016. The FDC Loan pays interest at 11.25%�per year. The Junior Note of the Trust owned by Apollo FDC pays to Apollo FDC all of the interest and other proceeds received by the Trust on the FDC Loan after satisfying the Trusts obligations on the Senior Note. The holder of the Senior Note has no recourse to Apollo FDC, AIC Holdco or us with respect to any interest on, or principal of, the Senior Note. However, if the value of the FDC Loan held by the Trust declines sufficiently, the investment would be unwound unless Apollo FDC posts additional collateral for the benefit of the Senior Note. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we unwound the transaction by investing $20,386 into the

40

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)

Trust which then repaid the Senior Note. Subsequent to the repayment of the Senior Note, $10,993 of face value of the FDC Loan was prepaid by First Data Corporation resulting in a distribution of $11,556 to the Company. The remaining FDC Loan, which consisted of $41,862 of face value, was transferred to the Company at an accreted cost of $38,728 with a fair value of $40,397 on the transfer date and the Trust was closed.
In the second of these investments, in June 2008 we invested through AIC Holdco $11,375 in AIC (TXU) Holdings LLC (Apollo TXU). Apollo TXU acquired exposure to $50,000 notional amount of a LIBOR plus 3.5% senior secured delayed draw term loan of Texas Competitive Electric Holdings (TXU) due 2014 through a non-recourse total return swap (the TRS) with an unaffiliated third party expiring on October�10, 2013. Pursuant to such delayed draw term loan, Apollo TXU pays an unaffiliated third-party interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% and generally receives all proceeds due under the delayed draw term loan of TXU (the TXU Term Loan). Like Apollo FDC, Apollo TXU is entitled to 100% of any realized appreciation in the TXU Term Loan and, since the TRS is a non-recourse arrangement, Apollo TXU is exposed only up to the amount of its investment in the TRS, plus any additional margin we decide to post, if any, during the term of the financing. The TRS does not constitute a senior security or a borrowing of Apollo TXU. In connection with the amendment and extension of the TXU Term Loan in April 2011, for which Apollo TXU received a consent fee along with an increase in the rate of the TXU Term Loan to LIBOR plus 4.5%, Apollo TXU extended its TRS to 2016 at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.0%. During the year ended March 31, 2014, Apollo TXU terminated the entire TRS resulting in a realized loss of $10,314. The excess collateral posted was returned to Apollo TXU.
In the third of these investments, in September 2008 we invested through AIC Holdco $10,022 in AIC (Boots) Holdings, LLC (Apollo Boots). Apollo Boots acquired �23,383 and �12,465 principal amount of senior term loans of AB Acquisitions Topco 2 Limited, a holding company for the Alliance Boots group of companies (the Boots Term Loans), out of the proceeds of our investment and a multicurrency $40,876 equivalent non-recourse loan to Apollo Boots (the Acquisition Loan) by an unaffiliated third party that was scheduled to mature in September 2013 and paid interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% or, in certain cases, the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or the lenders prime-rate. The Boots Term Loans paid interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3%�per year and are scheduled to mature in June 2015. During the fiscal year ended March�31, 2013, Apollo Boots sold the entire position of the Boots Term Loans in the amount of �23,383 and �12,465 of principal.
We do not consolidate AIC Holdco or its wholly owned subsidiaries. Our investment in AIC Holdco was valued in accordance with our normal valuation procedures and was based on the values of the underlying assets held by each special purpose entities net of associated liabilities.
As of September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the consolidated AIC Holdco had no outstanding assets and liabilities. Below is summarized financial information for AIC Holdco for the six months ended September�30, 2013. There was no operating activity during the six months ended September 30, 2014.

____________________
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys debt and equity securities are primarily earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), comparable multiples, and market discount rates. The Company typically uses EBITDA comparable multiples on its equity securities to determine the fair value of investments. The Company uses market discount rates for debt securities to determine if the effective yield on a debt security is commensurate with the market yields for that type of debt security. If a debt securitys effective yield is significantly less than the market yield for a similar debt security with a similar credit profile, then the resulting fair value of the debt security may be lower. Significant increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the structured products include the discount rate applied in the valuation models in addition to default and recovery rates applied to projected cash flows in the valuation models. Specifically, when a discounted cash flow model is used to determine fair value, the significant input used in the valuation model is the discount rate applied to present value the projected cash flows. Increases in the discount rate can significantly lower the fair value of an investment; conversely, decreases in the discount rate can significantly increase the fair value of an investment. The discount rate is determined based on the market rates an investor would expect for a similar investment with similar risks.

Derivatives

During the three months ended June�30, 2013, we entered into interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements to manage interest rate risk associated with one of our structured product investments. During the three months ended September�30, 2013, we exited the investment and unwound the derivatives. We do not hold or issue derivative contracts for speculative purposes. We recorded the accrual of periodic interest settlements in net unrealized gain/loss and subsequently recorded the cash payments as a net realized gain or loss on the interest settlement date, activities which are classified under operating activities in our Statement of Cash Flows.

As of September�30, 2014, we did not hold any derivative investments and during the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, we did not enter into any derivative transactions. The table below summarizes the effect of derivative instruments on our Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended September�30, 2013:

The interest income and interest expense on derivatives is shown in the Statement of Operations within net realized and unrealized gain/loss from investments, cash equivalents, foreign currencies and derivatives.�For purposes of the performance-based incentive fee, interest income and interest expense derived from the derivative instruments are included in the calculation of pre-incentive fee net investment income.�The interest income and interest expense on derivatives is excluded from the cumulative realized capital gains and cumulative realized capital losses for purposes of the capital gains incentive fee calculation.


Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

The use of derivatives creates exposure to counterparty credit risk that may result in potential losses in the event that the counterparties to these instruments fail to perform their obligations under the agreements governing such derivatives. The Company seeks to minimize this risk by limiting the Companys counterparties to major financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings and monitoring positions with individual counterparties. In addition, the Company may be required under the terms of its derivatives agreements to pledge assets as collateral to secure its obligations under the derivatives. The amount of collateral varies over time based on the fair value, notional amount, and remaining term of the derivatives and may exceed the amount owed by the Company on a fair value basis. In the event of a default by a counterparty, the Company would be an unsecured creditor to the extent of any such overcollateralization. At September�30, 2014, there is no cash pledged as collateral.

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement that the Company has in place contains customary default provisions including a cross default provision relating to third-party indebtedness in excess of a specified threshold. Following an event of default, the Company could be required to settle its obligations under the ISDA Master Agreement at their termination values. Additionally, under the Companys ISDA Master Agreement, the Company could be required to settle its obligations under the ISDA Master Agreement at their termination values if the Company fails to maintain certain minimum stockholders equity thresholds or if the Company fails to comply with certain specified financial covenants.
Note 6.�Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations
The Company had the following outstanding non-US borrowings on its Senior Secured Facility (as defined in note 9) at September�30, 2014 and March�31, 2014.

(1)
Total amount of each class of senior securities outstanding at the end of the period presented.
(2)
The asset coverage ratio for a class of senior securities representing indebtedness is calculated as our consolidated total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, divided by senior securities representing indebtedness. This asset coverage ratio is multiplied by one thousand to determine the Asset Coverage Per Unit. In order to determine the specific Asset Coverage Per Unit for each class of debt, the total Asset Coverage Per Unit was divided based on the amount outstanding at the end of the period for each.
(3)
The amount to which such class of senior security would be entitled upon the involuntary liquidation of the issuer in preference to any security junior to it.
(4)
The fair value of these debt obligations are categorized as Level 3 under ASC 820 as of September�30, 2014 and March�31, 2014. The valuation is based on a yield analysis and discount rate commensurate with the market yields for similar types of debt.
(5)
The fair value of these debt obligations are categorized as Level 1 under ASC 820 as of September�30, 2014 and March�31, 2014. The valuation is based on quoted prices of identical liabilities in active markets.

Senior Secured Facility
On September�13, 2013, the Company amended and restated its senior secured, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (the Senior Secured Facility). The amendment increased the lenders commitments total to approximately $1,250,000, extended the final maturity date to through August 31, 2018, and allowed the Company to seek additional commitments from new and existing lenders in the future, up to an aggregate facility size not to exceed $1,710,000. On April 16, 2014, the Company obtained an additional commitment from a new lender, increasing the size of the Senior Secured Facility to $1,270,000. The Senior Secured Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets in Apollo Investments portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents. Commencing September 30, 2017, the Company is required to repay, in twelve consecutive monthly installments of equal size, the outstanding amount under the Senior Secured Facility as of August 31, 2017. Pricing for Alternate Base Rate (ABR) borrowings is 100 basis points over the applicable Prime Rate and pricing for eurocurrency borrowings is 200 basis points over the LIBOR Rate. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on any unused portion of the Senior Secured Facility and a letter of credit participation fee of 2.00% per annum plus a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.25% per annum on the letters of credit issued. The Senior Secured Facility contains affirmative and restrictive covenants, including: (a)�periodic financial reporting requirements, (b)�maintaining minimum stockholders equity of the greater of (i)�40% of the total assets of Apollo Investment and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the last day of any fiscal quarter and (ii)�the sum of (A)�$845,000 plus (B)�25% of the net proceeds from the sale of equity interests in Apollo Investment after the closing date of the Senior Secured Facility, (c)�maintaining a ratio of total assets, less total liabilities (other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness, in each case of Apollo Investment and its consolidated subsidiaries, of not less than 2.0:1.0, (d)�limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, including a

56

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)

requirement to meet a certain minimum liquidity threshold before Apollo Investment can incur such additional debt, (e)�limitations on liens, (f)�limitations on investments (other than in the ordinary course of Apollo Investments business), (g)�limitations on mergers and disposition of assets (other than in the normal course of Apollo Investments business activities), (h)�limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that permit liens on properties of Apollo Investments consolidated subsidiaries and (i)�limitations on the repurchase or redemption of certain unsecured debt and debt securities. In addition to the asset coverage ratio described in clause (c)�of the preceding sentence, borrowings under the Senior Secured Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in Apollo Investments portfolio.
The Senior Secured Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit for up to an aggregate amount of $125,000. As of September�30, 2014 and March�31, 2014, the Company had $25,246 and $15,746, respectively, in standby letters of credit issued through the Senior Secured Facility. The amount available for borrowing under the Senior Secured Facility is reduced by any standby letters of credit issued. Under GAAP, these letters of credit are considered commitments, not liabilities, since no funding has been made. These letters of credit are not considered senior securities because they are not in the form of a typical financial guarantee and the portfolio companies are obligated to refund any drawn amounts. The available remaining capacity under the Senior Secured Facility was $437,281 at September�30, 2014. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings set forth in the Senior Secured Facility.
Senior Secured Notes
On September�30, 2010, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with certain institutional accredited investors providing for a private placement issuance of $225,000 in aggregate principal amount of five-year, senior secured notes with an annual fixed interest rate of 6.25% and a maturity date of October�4, 2015 (the Senior Secured Notes). On October�4, 2010, the Senior Secured Notes issued by Apollo Investment were sold to certain institutional accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is due semi-annually on April�4 and October�4, commencing on April�4, 2011.
On September�29, 2011, the Company closed a private offering of $45,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the Notes) consisting of two series: (1)�5.875% Senior Secured Notes, Series A, of the Company due September�29, 2016 in the aggregate principal amount of $29,000; and (2)�6.250% Senior Secured Notes, Series B, of the Company due September�29, 2018, in the aggregate principal amount of $16,000. The Notes were issued in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is due semi-annually on March 29 and September 29, commencing on March�29, 2012.
2042 Notes
On October�9, 2012, the Company issued $150,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2042 for net proceeds of $145,275 (the 2042 Notes). Interest on the 2042 Notes is paid quarterly on January�15,�April�15,�July�15 and October�15, at an annual rate of 6.625%, commencing on January�15, 2013. The 2042 Notes will mature on October�15, 2042. The Company may redeem the 2042 Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after October�15, 2017. The 2042 Notes are general, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness. The 2042 Notes are listed on The New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol AIB.
2043 Notes
On June�17, 2013, the Company issued $135,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior unsecured notes due 2043 and on June�24, 2013 an additional $15,000 in aggregate principal amount of such notes was issued pursuant to the underwriters over-allotment option exercise. In total, $150,000 of aggregate principal was issued for net proceeds of $145,275 (the 2043 Notes). Interest on the 2043 Notes is paid quarterly on January�15,�April�15,�July�15 and October�15, at an annual rate of 6.875%, commencing on October�15, 2013. The 2043 Notes will mature on July�15, 2043. The Company may redeem the 2043 Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after July�15, 2018. The 2043 Notes are general, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness.

Convertible Notes
On January�25, 2011, the Company closed a private offering of $200,000 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured convertible notes (the Convertible Notes).�The Convertible Notes were issued in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.�The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 5.75%, payable semi-annually in arrears on January�15 and July�15 of each year, commencing on July�15, 2011.�The Convertible Notes will mature on January�15, 2016 unless earlier converted or repurchased at the holders option. Prior to December�15, 2015, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only�upon certain corporate reorganizations, dilutive recapitalizations or dividends,�or if,�during specified periods our shares trade at more than 130% of the then applicable conversion price or the Convertible Notes trade at less than 97% of their conversion value and, thereafter, at any time.�The Convertible Notes will be convertible by the holders into shares of common stock, initially at a conversion rate of 72.7405 shares of the Companys common stock per $1 principal amount of Convertible Notes (14,548,100 common shares) corresponding to an initial conversion price per share of approximately $13.75, which represents a premium of 17.5% to the $11.70 per share closing price of the Companys common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on January�19, 2011. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits and combinations, mergers, spin-offs, increases in dividends in excess of $0.28 per share per quarter and certain changes in control.�Certain of these adjustments, including adjustments for increases in dividends, are subject to a conversion price floor of $11.70 per share.�The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.�As more fully reflected in note 4, the issuance is to be considered as part of the if-converted method for calculation of diluted EPS.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Apollo Investment Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Apollo Investment Corporation (the Company), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, and the statements of cash flows and of changes in net assets for the six month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated May 20, 2014, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities information, including schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2014 is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the statement of assets and liabilities from which it has been derived.

Item�2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.
Some of the statements in this report constitute forward-looking statements, which relate to future events or our future performance or financial condition. The forward-looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:
"
our future operating results;
"
our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
"
the impact of investments that we expect to make;
"
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
"
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;
"
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
"
our expected financings and investments;
"
the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital; and
"
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies.
We generally use words such as anticipates, believes, expects, intends and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including any factors set forth in Risk Factors and elsewhere in this report.
We have based the forward-looking statements included in this report on information available to us on the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including any annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.
OVERVIEW
Apollo Investment was incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Law in February 2004. We have elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in qualifying assets, including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. In addition, for federal income tax purposes we have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Pursuant to this election and assuming we qualify as a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any income we distribute to our stockholders. Apollo Investment commenced operations on April�8, 2004 upon completion of its initial public offering that raised $870 million in net proceeds from selling 62�million shares of its common stock at a price of $15.00 per share. Since then, and through September�30, 2014, we have raised approximately $2.21 billion in net proceeds from additional offerings of common stock.
Investments
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment, and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. As a business development company, we must not acquire any assets other than qualifying assets specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).
Revenue
We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest and dividend income from the securities we hold and capital gains, if any, on investment securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Our debt investments, whether in the form of mezzanine or senior secured loans, generally have a stated term of five to ten years and bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark: LIBOR, Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), British pound sterling LIBOR (GBP LIBOR), or the prime rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable quarterly or semiannually and while U.S. subordinated debt and corporate notes typically accrue interest at fixed rates, some of our investments may include zero coupon and/or step-up

61


bonds that accrue income on a constant yield to call or maturity basis. In addition, some of our investments provide for PIK interest or dividends. Such amounts of accrued PIK interest or dividends are added to the cost of the investment on the respective capitalization dates and generally become due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and, if applicable, consulting fees, etc.
Expenses
For all investment professionals of the investment adviser and their staff, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory and management services to us, the compensation and routine overhead expenses of that personnel which is allocable to those services are provided and paid for by AIM. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including those relating to:
"
investment advisory and management fees;
"
expenses incurred by AIM payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, in monitoring our financial and legal affairs and in monitoring our investments and performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies;
"
calculation of our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);
"
direct costs and expenses of administration, including independent registered public accounting and legal costs;
"
costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents with the SEC;
"
interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments;
"

Since the initial public offering of Apollo Investment in April 2004 and through September�30, 2014, invested capital totaled $14.4 billion in 329 portfolio companies. Over the same period, Apollo Investment completed transactions with more than 100 different financial sponsors.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. In addition to the discussion below, our critical accounting policies are further described in the notes to the financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
Under procedures established by our board of directors, we value investments, including certain secured debt, unsecured debt, and other debt securities with maturities greater than 60 days, for which market quotations are readily available at such market quotations (unless they are deemed not to represent fair value). We attempt to obtain market quotations from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, otherwise from a principal market maker or a primary market dealer or other independent pricing service). We utilize mid-market pricing as a practical expedient for fair value unless a different point within the range is more representative. If and when market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, we typically utilize independent third party valuation firms to assist us in determining fair value. Accordingly, such investments go through our multi-step valuation process as described below. In each case, our independent valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such investments. Debt investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may each be valued at cost with interest accrued or discount amortized to the date of maturity, unless such valuation, in the judgment of our investment adviser, does not represent fair value. In this case, such investments shall be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors, using market quotations where available. Investments that are not publicly traded or whose market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our board of directors has approved a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
(1) our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of our investment adviser who is responsible for the portfolio investment;
(2) preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of our investment adviser;
(3) independent valuation firms are engaged by our board of directors to conduct independent appraisals by reviewing our investment advisers preliminary valuations and then making their own independent assessment;
(4) the audit committee of the board of directors reviews the preliminary valuation of our investment adviser and the valuation prepared by the independent valuation firm and responds to the valuation recommendation of the independent valuation firm to reflect any comments; and
(5) the board of directors discusses valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in our portfolio based on the input of our investment adviser, the applicable independent valuation firm, third party pricing services, and the audit committee.
Investments in all asset classes are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market (as the reporting entity), and enterprise values, among other factors. When readily available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered in the valuation

64


process of independent valuation firms. As of September�30, 2014, there was no change to the Companys valuation techniques and related inputs considered in the valuation process.
ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values 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.
In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls 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. Of the Company's investments at September�30, 2014, $2.5 billion or 68% of the Company's investments were classified as Level 3.

Investment Income Recognition
The Company records interest and dividend income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. Some of our loans and other investments, including certain preferred equity investments, may have contractual payment-in-kind (PIK) interest or dividends. PIK interest and dividends computed at the contractual rate are accrued into income and reflected as receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, the Company capitalizes the accrued interest or dividends receivable (reflecting such amounts as the basis in the additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. At the point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends are reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. The Company does not reverse previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status if the Company believes that PIK is expected to be realized.

Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest and/or dividends in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest/dividend cash payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when it is no longer probable that principal or interest/dividend cash payments will be collected. Such non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest or dividends are paid in cash, and in managements judgment, are likely to continue timely payment of their remaining interest or dividend obligations. Interest or dividend cash payments received on non-accrual designated investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment.

Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discounts are capitalized and amortized into income using the interest method or straight-line, as applicable. Upon the prepayment of a loan, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other investments as interest income when we receive such amounts. Other income generally includes administrative fee, bridge fees, and structuring fees, which are recorded when earned.

The Company records as dividend income the accretable yield from its beneficial interests in structured products such as CLOs based upon a number of cash flow assumptions that are subject to uncertainties and contingencies. Such assumptions include the rate and timing of principal and interest receipts (which may be subject to prepayments and defaults) of the underlying pool of assets. These assumptions are updated on at least a quarterly basis to reflect changes related to a particular security, actual historical data, and market changes. Structured products typically have an underlying pool of assets and payments on structured product investments that are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such assets. As such any unforeseen event in these underlying pool of assets might impact the expected recovery and future accrual of income.


65


Expenses
Expenses include management fees, performance-based incentive fees, insurance expenses, administrative service fees, legal fees, directors' fees, audit and tax service expenses, and other general and administrative expenses. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.
Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss)
We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized gain (loss) reflects the net change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses.
Within the context of these critical accounting policies, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.
Recent Account Pronouncements
In June 2013, the FASB issued guidance to change the assessment of whether an entity is an investment company by developing a new two-tiered approach that requires an entity to possess certain fundamental characteristics while allowing judgment in assessing certain typical characteristics. The fundamental characteristics that an investment company is required to have include the following: (1)�it obtains funds from one or more investors and provides the investor(s) with investment management services; (2)�it commits to its investor(s) that its business purpose and only substantive activities are investing the funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both; and (3)�it does not obtain returns or benefits from an investee or its affiliates that are not normally attributable to ownership interests. The typical characteristics of an investment company that an entity should consider before concluding whether it is an investment company include the following: (1)�it has more than one investment; (2)�it has more than one investor; (3)�it has investors that are not related parties of the parent or the investment manager; (4)�it has ownership interests in the form of equity or partnership interests; and (5)�it manages substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis. The new approach requires an entity to assess all of the characteristics of an investment company and consider its purpose and design to determine whether it is an investment company. The guidance includes disclosure requirements about an entitys status as an investment company and financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to its investees. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December�15, 2013. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance to establish a comprehensive and converged standard on revenue recognition to enable financial statement users to better understand and consistently analyze an entitys revenue across industries, transactions, and geographies. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new guidance also specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. The new guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. Qualitative and quantitative information is required to be disclosed about: (1) contracts with customers, (2) significant judgments and changes in judgments, and (3) assets recognized from costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new guidance will apply to all entities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial statements.

Total Investment Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013
The increase in total investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 was due to an increase in the investment portfolio size, which increased to an average cost of $3.63 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from an average cost of $3.12 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in total investment income was also due to an increase in prepayment fees and an acceleration of original issue discount on repaid investments, which totaled approximately $21.9 million and $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September�30, 2013, respectively. The increase in interest income was partially offset by a decrease in yield on debt investments (11.0% as of September�30, 2014 and 11.3% as of September�30, 2013). Dividend income increased due to purchases of preferred equity investments (Playpower Holdings, Inc. and Crowley Holdings) after the period ended September�30, 2013. Other income during the three months ended September 30, 2014 was higher due to increased structuring fees and bridge fees.
For the six months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2013
The increase in total investment income for the six months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2013 was due to an increase in the investment portfolio size, which increased to an average cost of $3.56 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2014 from an average cost of $3.05 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in investment income is also due to an increase in prepayment fees and an acceleration of original issue discount on repaid investments, which totaled approximately $28.0 million and $16.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and September�30, 2013, respectively. The increase in interest income was partially offset by a decrease in yield on debt investments

67


(11.0% as of September�30, 2014 and 11.3% as of September�30, 2013). Dividend income decreased due to the exit of multiple structured products and other investments after September�30, 2013 and a one time dividend payment from RC Coinvestment, LLC during the six months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in dividend income was offset by new purchases of preferred equity investments (Playpower Holdings, Inc. and Crowley Holdings) after the period ended September�30, 2013.

Net Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to three months ended September 30, 2013
The increase in expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to three months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily driven by an increase of $1.5 million in interest and other debt expenses and an increase of $6.7 million in management and performance-based incentive fees (net of amounts waived). Interest and other debt costs were higher due to a higher average debt outstanding balance, which increased to $1.54 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $1.15 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2013. Average debt outstanding increased primarily as a result of an increase to an average portfolio cost of $3.63 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from an average cost of $3.12 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was offset by a decrease in total annualized cost of debt to 4.92% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 6.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in cost of debt is due to the September 2013 credit facility amendment which resulted in a decrease in pricing for revolving credit facility borrowings by 25 basis points. Management and performance-based incentive fees increased primarily due to the increase in the size of the portfolio and an increase in net investment income.
For the six months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2013
The increase in expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily driven by an increase of $4.5 million in interest and other debt expenses and an increase of $7.8 million in management and performance-based incentive fees (net of amounts waived). Interest and other debt costs were higher due to a higher average debt outstanding balance, which increased to $1.55 billion during the six months ended September 30, 2014 from $1.17 billion during the six months ended September 30, 2013. Average debt outstanding increased primarily as a result of the issuance of the 2043 Notes in the latter half of June 2013 and an increase to an average portfolio cost of $3.56 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2014 from an average cost of $3.05 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was offset by a decrease in total annualized cost of debt to 4.86% for the six months ended September 30, 2014 from 5.68% for the six months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in cost of debt is due to the September 2013 credit facility amendment which resulted in a decrease in pricing for revolving credit facility borrowings by 25 basis points. Management and performance-based incentive fees increased due to the increase in the size of the portfolio and an increase in net investment income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Companys liquidity and capital resources are generated and generally available through periodic follow-on equity and debt offerings, our senior secured, multi-currency Senior Secured Facility (as defined in note 9 within the Notes to Financial Statements), our senior secured notes, our senior unsecured notes, investments in special purpose entities in which we hold and finance particular investments on a non-recourse basis, as well as from cash flows from operations, investment sales of liquid assets and repayments of senior and subordinated loans, and income earned from investments. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, PIK
income totaled $7.8 million and $14.6 million, on total investment income of $118.9 million and $221.5 million. At September�30, 2014, the Company had $807.5 million in borrowings outstanding on its Senior Secured Facility and $437.3 million of unused capacity. As of September�30, 2014, aggregate lender commitments under the Senior Secured Facility totaled $1.27 billion. The Senior Secured Facility allows the Company to seek additional commitments in the future up to an aggregate facility size not to exceed $1.71 billion. The Company also has investments in its portfolio that contain PIK provisions. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, the Company capitalizes the accrued interest or dividends receivable (reflecting such amounts as the basis in the additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. In order to maintain the Companys status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders annually in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.
On September 12, 2014, the Company announced an At the Market (ATM) program through which the Company can sell up to 16 million shares of its common stock from time to time.� As of September�30, 2014, no shares had been sold through the Companys ATM program.�

On October 30, 2014, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with a financial institution providing for a private placement issuance of $150,000 in aggregate principal amount of a ten-year unsecured note with an annual fixed interest rate of 5.25% and a maturity date of October�30, 2024.
On February 24, 2014, the Company issued 12 million shares of common stock at $8.69 per share raising approximately $104 million in net proceeds. On May�20, 2013, the Company issued 21.85�million shares of common stock at $8.60 per share (or $8.34 per share net proceeds before estimated expense) raising approximately $182 million in net proceeds. AIM has agreed to waive the base management and incentive fees associated with this equity capital for the time period beginning May�20, 2013 through March 31, 2015.
In April 2012, a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, LLC purchased 5,847,953 newly issued shares of the Company based on the NAV as of March�31, 2012 of $8.55 per share. AIM has agreed to waive the base management and incentive fees associated with this equity capital for the time period beginning April�2, 2012 through March�31, 2015.
On June�17, 2013, the Company issued $135 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior unsecured notes due 2043 and on June�24, 2013 an additional $15 million in aggregate principal amount of such notes was issued pursuant to the underwriters over-allotment option exercise. In aggregate, $150 million of principal was issued for net proceeds of $145.3 million (the 2043 Notes). Interest on the 2043 Notes is paid quarterly on January�15,�April�15,�July�15 and October�15, at an annual rate of 6.875% per year. The 2043 Notes mature on July�15, 2043. The Company may redeem the 2043 Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after July�15, 2018.
On October�9, 2012, the Company issued $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2042 for net proceeds of $145.3 million (the 2042 Notes). Interest on the 2042 Notes is paid quarterly on January�15,�April�15,�July�15 and October�15, at an annual rate of 6.625%�per year. The 2042 Notes mature on October�15, 2042. The Company may redeem the 2042 Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after October�15, 2017.
On September�29, 2011, the Company closed a private offering of $45 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the Notes) consisting of two series: (1)�5.875% Senior Secured Notes, Series A, of the Company due September�29, 2016 in the aggregate principal amount of $29 million; and (2)�6.250% Senior Secured Notes, Series B, of the Company due September�29, 2018, in the aggregate principal amount of $16 million. The Notes were issued in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule�144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On January�25, 2011, the Company closed a private offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured convertible notes (the Convertible Notes).�The Convertible Notes were issued in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.�The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 5.75%, payable semi-annually in arrears on January�15 and July�15 of each year, commencing on July�15, 2011.�The Convertible Notes will mature on January�15, 2016 unless earlier converted or repurchased at the holders option. Prior to December�15, 2015, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only�upon certain corporate reorganizations, dilutive recapitalizations or dividends,�or if,�during specified periods our shares trade at more than 130% of the then applicable conversion price or the Convertible Notes trade at less than 97% of their conversion value and, thereafter, at any time.�The Convertible Notes will be convertible by the holders into shares of common stock, initially at a conversion rate of 72.7405 shares of the Companys common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (14,548,100 common shares) corresponding to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.75, which represents a premium of 17.5% to the $11.70 per share closing price of the Companys common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on January�19, 2011.�The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon certain events, such

71


as stock splits and combinations, mergers, spin-offs, increases in dividends in excess of $0.28 per share per quarter and certain changes in control.�Certain of these adjustments, including adjustments for increases in dividends, are subject to a conversion price floor of $11.70 per share.�The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.
On September�30, 2010, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement, providing for a private placement issuance of $225 million in aggregate principal amount of five-year, senior secured notes with a fixed interest rate of 6.25% and a maturity date of October�4, 2015 (the Senior Secured Notes). On October�4, 2010, the Senior Secured Notes were sold to certain institutional accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes will be due semi-annually on April�4 and October�4, commencing on April�4, 2011. The proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes were primarily used to reduce other outstanding borrowings and/or commitments on the Companys Senior Secured Facility.
On August�11, 2011, the Company adopted a plan for the purpose of repurchasing up to $200 million of its common stock in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Companys plan was designed to allow it to repurchase its shares both during its open window periods and at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. A broker selected by the Company will have the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the plan to repurchase shares on the Companys behalf in accordance with the terms of the plan. Repurchases are subject to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the plan. While the portion of the plan reliant on Rule 10b-18 remains in effect, the portion reliant on Rule 10b5-1 is subject to periodic renewal and is not currently in effect. As of March�31, 2014, no shares have been repurchased.
Cash Equivalents
We deem certain U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities as cash equivalents. (See note 2 within the accompanying financial statements.) At the end of each fiscal quarter, we consider taking proactive steps utilizing cash equivalents with the objective of enhancing our investment flexibility during the following quarter, pursuant to Section�55 of the 1940 Act. More specifically, we may purchase U.S. Treasury bills from time-to-time on the last business day of the quarter and typically close out that position on the following business day, settling the sale transaction on a net cash basis with the purchase, subsequent to quarter end. Apollo Investment may also utilize repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions, including drawing down on our Senior Secured Facility, as we deem appropriate. The amount of these transactions or such drawn cash for this purpose is excluded from total assets for purposes of computing the asset base upon which the management fee is determined. There were no cash equivalents held as of September�30, 2014.

At September�30, 2014, there was $25.2 million of letters of credit issued under the Senior Secured Facility that are not recorded as liabilities on the Company's Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the Company had $437.3 million of unused capacity under its Senior Secured Facility.
We have entered into two contracts under which we have future commitments: the Investment Advisory Agreement, pursuant to which AIM has agreed to serve as our investment adviser, and the Administration Agreement, pursuant to which AIA has agreed

72


to furnish us with the facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations and provide on our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance. Payments under the Investment Advisory Agreement are equal to (1)�a percentage of the value of our average gross assets and (2)�a two-part incentive fee. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon our�allocable portion of AIAs overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, technology systems, insurance, and our allocable portion of the�costs of our chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, and their respective staffs. Either party may terminate each of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement without penalty upon not more than 60�days written notice to the other. Please see note 3 within our financial statements for more information.
As of September�30, 2014 and March�31, 2014, the Companys unfunded commitments and contingencies were as follows:

Included in this amount is $65.9 million and $114.1 million of the unfunded revolver commitment for Merx Aviation Finance, LLC (formerly Merx Aviation Finance Holdings II, LLC) as of September�30, 2014 and March�31, 2014, respectively.
(2)
The unfunded revolver obligations may or may not be funded to the borrowing party in the future. The amounts relate to loans with various maturity dates, but the entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers as of September�30, 2014, subject to the terms of each loans respective credit agreements.
(3)
The borrower is required to meet certain performance thresholds before the Company is obligated to fulfill the commitments and those performance thresholds were not met as of September�30, 2014.
AICs commitments are subject to the consummation of the underlying corporate transactions and conditional upon receipt of all necessary stockholder, regulatory and other applicable approvals.
Dividends
Dividends paid to stockholders for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $47.3 million or $0.20 per share and $94.7 million or $0.40 per share, respectively. Dividends paid to stockholders for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $44.9 million or $0.20 per share and $89.9 million or $0.40 per share, respectively. Tax characteristics of all dividends will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. Our quarterly dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors.
We have elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain our RIC status, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. In addition, although we currently intend to distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually, out of the assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment.
We maintain an opt out dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a dividend, then stockholders cash dividends will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they specifically opt out of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash dividends.
We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a business development company, we may in the future be limited in our ability to make distributions. Also, our Senior Secured Facility may limit our ability to declare dividends if we default under certain provisions or fail to satisfy certain other conditions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we may suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of the tax benefits available to us as a regulated investment company. In addition, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and tax regulations, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as contractual payment-in-kind interest, which represents contractual interest added to the loan balance that becomes due at the end of the loan term, or the accrual of original issue or market discount. Since we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such

73


income, we may not be able to meet the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a regulated investment company.
With respect to the dividends to stockholders, income from origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and other upfront fees associated with investments in portfolio companies is treated as taxable income and accordingly, distributed to stockholders.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. During the six months ended September 30, 2014, many of the loans in our portfolio had floating interest rates. These loans are usually based on floating LIBOR and typically have durations of one to six months after which they reset to current market interest rates. The Company also has a Senior Secured Facility that is based on floating LIBOR rates.
The following table shows the approximate annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate flows for variable rate instruments) to our loan portfolio and outstanding debt as of September�30, 2014, assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations from time-to-time by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments.

Item�4.�Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September�30, 2014 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management has not identified any change in the Companys internal control over financing reporting that occurred during the second fiscal quarter of 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
Item�1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. While we do not expect that the resolution of these matters if they arise would materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, resolution will be subject to various uncertainties and could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.
On May 20, 2013, the Company was named as a defendant in a complaint by the bankruptcy trustee of DSI Renal Holdings and related companies (DSI). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company participated in a fraudulent conveyance involving a restructuring and subsequent sale of DSI in 2010 and 2011. The complaint seeks, jointly and severally from all defendants, (1) damages of approximately $425 million, of which the Companys share would be approximately $41 million, and the return of 9,000 shares of common stock of DSI obtained by the Company in the restructuring and sale and (2) punitive damages. At this point in time, the Company is unable to assess whether it may have any liability in this action. The Company has not made any determination that this action is or may be material to the Company and intends to vigorously defend itself. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss this litigation.

Item�1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the Risk Factors section of our Form 10-K filed on May 20, 2014, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. These risks are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
