(7)
Substantially all securities are pledged as collateral to our multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). As such these securities are not available as collateral to our general creditors.
(8)
The negative fair value is the result of the unfunded commitment/letter of credit being valued below par.

These letters of credit represent multiple commitments made on various dates. As a result, there are numerous maturity dates and a maturity range has been provided.

The investment has a put option attached to it and the combined instrument has been recorded in its entirety at fair value as a hybrid instrument in accordance with ASC 815-15-25-4 with subsequent changes in fair value charged or credited to investment gains/losses for each period.
Denotes debt securities where the Company owns multiple tranches of the same broad asset type but whose security characteristics differ. Such differences may include level of subordination, call protection and pricing, and differing interest rate characteristics, among other factors. Such factors are usually considered in the determination of fair values.
Investments that the Company has determined are not “qualifying assets” under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets. The status of these assets under the 1940 Act are subject to change. The Company monitors the status of these assets on an ongoing basis.
¢
Denotes investments where the governing documents of the entity preclude the Company from controlling management of the entity and accordingly the Company disclaims that the entity is a controlled affiliate.

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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 organized 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 loans, loan investments, and/or equity in private middle-market companies. We may also invest in the securities of public companies and 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 receiving 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 June 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 acquired and holds investments subject to financing with third parties. As of June 30, 2014 , the Company did not have any subsidiaries or controlled operating companies that were consolidated (see additional information within note 6).
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. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, $263 of investment income previously classified as interest income from controlled investments was reclassified to interest income from non-controlled/affiliated investments and $4,825 of investment income previously classified as dividend income from controlled investments was reclassified to dividend income from non-controlled/affiliated investments.
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.

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 which case such investments shall be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors including 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 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 adviser’s 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 company’s 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. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 , there has been no change to the Company’s 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.

34

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (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.
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. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 , PIK income totaled $6,827 on total investment income of $102,580 .
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 management’s 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 management’s 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 fee, and structuring fee 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 product investments typically have an underlying pool of assets. Payments on structured product investments are and will be payable solely from the cashflows 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.


35

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (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 to 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 Company’s 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 isolates that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The Company’s investments in foreign securities may involve certain risks, including 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

36

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (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 entity’s 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 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 receivable 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 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 three months ended June 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

37

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

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 will not be paid the portion of the performance-based incentive fee that is attributable to deferred interest, such as PIK, until 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 months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , the Company recognized $18,111 and $14,757 , respectively, of base management fees and $12,467 and $12,449 , respectively, of performance-based incentive fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , total management fees waived was $2,707 and $1,074 , respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , total incentive fees waived were $1,445 and $900 , respectively.

The amount of the deferred incentive fees on PIK income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are $1,206 and $1,193, 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 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are $8,141 and $5,061, 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 by the Administrator and requested to be reimbursed in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and the Company’s allocable portion of its chief financial officer and 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 months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 , the Company recognized expenses under the Administration Agreement of $1,433 and $1,097 , respectively.

The Company has also entered into an expense reimbursement agreement with Merx Aviation Finance Assets Ireland, Limited, a subsidiary of a portfolio company that will reimburse the Company for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including any interest, fees or other amounts incurred by the Company in connection with letters of credit issued on its behalf. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 , the Company recognized expenses that were reimbursed under the expense reimbursement agreement of $20 and $0 respectively.

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 fully 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 Trust’s 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 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 lender’s 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 June 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 three months ended June 30, 2013 . There was no operating activity during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

____________________
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s 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 security’s 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 June 30, 2014 , we did not hold any derivative investments and during the three months ended June 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 months ended June 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 Company’s 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 June 30, 2014 , there is no cash pledged as collateral.

Following an event of default, the Company could be required to settle its obligations under the ISDA Master Agreement at their termination values.

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 June 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 June 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 facility increased the lenders’ commitments totaling approximately $1,250,000 and extended the final maturity date to through August 31, 2018, and allows 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 Investment’s 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 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 Investment’s business), (g) limitations on mergers and disposition of assets (other than in the normal course of Apollo Investment’s business activities), (h) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that permit liens on properties of Apollo Investment’s 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 Investment’s 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 June 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 because no funding has been made and as such are not considered a liability. These letters of credit are not senior securities because they are not in 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 $443,736 at June 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. The 2043 Notes are listed on The New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “AIY.”
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 holder’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 5, 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 June 30, 2014 and the related statement of operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the statement of cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 and the statement of changes in net assets for the three month period ended June 30, 2014. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s 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 statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets and statement 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 balance sheet information and schedule of investments information, as of March 31, 2014 is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the statements from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s 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 selling 62 million shares of its common stock at a price of $15.00 per share. Since then, and through June 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

56


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
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, and 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;
offerings of our common stock and other securities;
registration and listing fees;
fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments;
transfer agent and custodial fees;
taxes;
independent directors’ fees and expenses;
marketing and distribution-related expenses;
the costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to stockholders, including printing and postage costs;
our allocable portion of the fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;
organizational costs; and
all other expenses incurred by us or the Administrator in connection with administering our business, such as our allocable portion of overhead under the Administration Agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the cost of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs.
We expect our general and administrative operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to increase moderately in dollar terms. During periods of asset growth, we generally expect our general and administrative operating expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets and increase during periods of asset declines. Incentive fees, interest expense and costs relating to future offerings of securities, among others, may also increase or reduce overall operating expenses based on portfolio performance, interest rate benchmarks, and offerings of our securities relative to comparative periods, among other factors.

An investor's yield may be lower than the portfolio yield due to sales loads and other expenses.
Since the initial public offering of Apollo Investment in April 2004 and through June 30, 2014 , invested capital totaled $13.8 billion in 316 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 which case such investments shall be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors, including 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 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 adviser’s 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 company’s 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

59


factors. When readily available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered in the valuation process of independent valuation firms. As of June 30, 2014 , there was no change to the Company’s 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 June 30, 2014 , $2.31 billion or 63% 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. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 , PIK income totaled $6.8 million on total investment income of $102.6 million .

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 management’s 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 management’s 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 fee, and structuring fee 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 cashflows from such assets. As such any unforeseen event in these underlying pool of assets might impact the expected recovery and future accrual of income.


60


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.

Total Investment Income
The increase in total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 was due to an increase in the investment portfolio size, which increased to an average cost of $3.53 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from an average cost of $3.09 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2013 . The increase in interest income was partially offset by a decrease in income from original issue discount and prepayment fees, which totaled approximately $6.1 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and three months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, and a decrease in yield from debt investments ( 11.1% as of June 30, 2014 and 11.6% as of June 30, 2013 ). Dividend

61


income decreased due to $5.0 million dividend payments received from RC Coinvestment, LLC and AIC Credit Opportunity during the three months ended June 30, 2013 . Other income during the three months ended June 30, 2013 was higher due to a one-time $2.0 million fee received from a portfolio company.

Net Expenses
The increase in expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily driven by an increase of $3.0 million in interest and other debt expenses and an increase of $1.2 million in incremental 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 three months ended June 30, 2014 from $1.18 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2013 . Average debt outstanding increased primarily as a result of the issuance of the 2043 Notes in the latter half of June 2013. The increase was offset by a decrease in total annualized cost of debt to 4.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 5.37% for the three months ended June 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. Administrative services expenses and other general and administrative expenses remained consistent.

Net Realized Loss
Net realized losses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were primarily the result of the sale of two portfolio companies: Altegrity, Inc. and inVentiv Health, Inc., which comprised $19.8 million of the net realized losses. These losses were partially offset by realized gains from the exit of various portfolio companies. Net realized losses were made up of $10.2 million of gross realized gains and $23.5 million of gross realized losses.
Net realized losses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were primarily the result of the sale of two portfolio companies: Cengage Learning Acquisitions and ATI Acquisition Company, which had combined realized losses of $99.6 million. Net realized losses were made up of $12.0 million of gross realized gains and $107.9 million of gross realized losses.
The realized losses incurred upon the exit of these investments reversed out previously reported unrealized losses.

Net Change in Unrealized Gain
For the three months ended June 30, 2014 , the net change in unrealized gain was primarily derived from the reversal of previously recognized unrealized loss upon the exit of Altegrity, Inc. and inVentiv Health, Inc., which comprised $21.3 million. The remainder of the portfolio was generally impacted by stronger capital market conditions as well as improved portfolio company fundamentals. Net unrealized gain was made up of $83.2 million of gross unrealized gains and $58.8 million of gross unrealized losses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013 the net change in unrealized loss was primarily derived from the reversal of previously recognized unrealized loss upon the exit of Cengage Learning Acquisitions and ATI Acquisition Company. The remainder of the portfolio was impacted by general capital market conditions. Net unrealized gain was made up of $158.5 million of gross unrealized gains and $96.1 million of gross unrealized losses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s 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 June 30, 2014 , PIK income totaled $6.8 million , on total investment income of $102.6 million . At June 30, 2014 , the Company had $801.0 million in borrowings outstanding on its Senior Secured Facility and $443.7 million of unused capacity. As of June 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 Company’s 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.

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 holder’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.
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 Company’s 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 Company’s plan was designed to allow it to repurchase its shares both during its open window periods and at times when it otherwise might

63


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 Company’s 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 June 30, 2014 .

At June 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 $443.7 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 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 AIA’s 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 and 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 June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 , the Company’s unfunded commitments and contingencies were as follows:

Included in this amount is $65.9 and $114.1 of the unfunded revolver commitment for Merx Aviation Finance Holdings II, LLC. as of June 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 June 30, 2014 , subject to the terms of each loan’s 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 June 30, 2014 .
AIC’s commitments are subject to the consummation of the underlying corporate transactions and conditional upon receipt of all necessary stockholder, regulatory and other applicable approvals.
AIC Credit Opportunity Fund LLC (amounts in thousands)
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 fully 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 Trust’s 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 year ended March 31, 2014, we unwound the transaction by investing $20,386 into the 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 lender’s 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 and accordingly only the value of our investment in AIC Holdco was included on our statement of assets and liabilities. Our investment in AIC Holdco was valued in accordance with our

65


normal valuation procedures and was based on the values of the underlying assets held by each special purpose entity net of associated liabilities.
As of June 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 three months ended June 30, 2013 . There was no operating activity during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Merx Aviation Finance Holdings II, LLC
Merx Aviation Finance Holdings II, LLC. (“Merx”) and its subsidiaries ("Merx Aviation") are principally engaged in acquiring and leasing commercial aircraft to airlines. Its primary focus is on current generation aircrafts, held either domestically or internationally. Merx Aviation may acquire fleets of aircraft through securitized, non-recourse debt or individual aircraft. Merx Aviation is not intended to compete with the numerous large lessors, but rather to be complementary to them, providing them a capital base for various transactions. Merx Aviation also may outsource its aircraft servicing requirements to the large lessors that have the global staff necessary to complete such tasks.

The Company believes Merx is an operating company and therefore is not consolidated in accordance with investment company accounting. If it was determined that Merx was to be consolidated, the likely impact would be to reclass interest income attributable to Merx to dividend income for the three months period ended June 30, 2014. Additionally, on the schedule of investments, the

66


investment in Merx would likely be aggregated into one line item as an equity investment instead of currently being classified as equity and debt investments.
Dividends
Dividends paid to stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 totaled $47.3 million or $0.20 per share and $44.9 million or $0.20 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 revolving credit 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 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 three months ended June 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 June 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 June 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 SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management has not identified any change in the Company’s internal control over financing reporting that occurred during the first fiscal quarter of 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s 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 Company’s 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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
