See accompanying notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

* Denotes non-income producing security.
(1) Newtek values each unguaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) performing loans (“Loan”) using a discounted cash flow analysis which projects future cash flows and incorporates projections for Loan pre-payments and Loan defaults using historical portfolio data. The data predicts future prepayment and default probability on curves which are based on Loan age. The recovery assumption for each Loan is specific to the discounted valuation of the collateral supporting that Loan. Each Loan’s cash flow is discounted at a rate which approximates a market yield. The Loans were originated under the SBA 7(a) program and conform to the underwriting guidelines in effect at their time of origination. Newtek has been awarded Preferred Lender Program (“PLP”) status from the SBA. The portions of these Loans are not guaranteed by the SBA. Individual loan participations can be sold to institutions which have been granted an SBA 750 license. Loans can also be sold as a pool of loans in a security form to qualified investors.
(2) Prime Rate is equal to 3.25% as of September 30, 2015.

based upon a time to liquidate estimate. Modified loans are valued based upon current payment streams and are re-amortized at the end of the modification period.
(4) Newtek values guaranteed performing SBA 7(a) loans using the secondary SBA 7(a) market as a reference point. Newtek routinely sells performing SBA 7(a) loans into this secondary market. Guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans partially funded as of the valuation date are valued using level two inputs as disclosed in Note 6.
(5) Controlled Investments are disclosed above as equity investments (except as otherwise noted) in those companies that are “Controlled Investments” of the Company as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. A company is deemed to be a “Controlled Investment” of Newtek Business Services Corp. if Newtek Business Services Corp. owns more than 25% of the voting securities of such company. See Note 4 in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 in which the Company is deemed to control.
(6) 50% owned by Exponential of New York, LLC (a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corp.), 50% owned by non-affiliate. The term loan is past its original maturity date and currently in default. As such, the fair value of the investment is zero.
(7) 96.11% owned by Wilshire Partners, LLC (a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corp.), 3.89% owned by Newtek Business Services Corp.
(8) 100% owned by Wilshire Texas Partners I, LLC (a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corp.).
(9) 26.15% owned by Wilshire New York Partners IV, LLC (a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corp.), 6.17% owned by Exponential of New York, LLC (a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corp.), 23.83% owned by Wilshire New York Partners V, LLC (a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corp.) and 43.85% owned by Newtek Business Services Corp.

(11) 50% owned by Wilshire New York Partners V, LLC (a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corp.), 30% owned by Wilshire Holdings II, Inc. (a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corp.), and 20% owned by non-affiliate.
(12) 66.7% owned by Wilshire Texas Partners I, LLC (a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corp.), 33.3% owned by non-affiliate.
(13) Zero cost basis is reflected as the portfolio company was organized by the Company and incurred internal legal costs to organize the entity and immaterial external filing fees which were expensed when incurred.
(14) 100% owned by Newtek Business Services Holdco1., Inc. (a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corp.).
(15) All of the Company's investments are in entities which are organized under the Laws of the United States and have a principal place of business in the United States.
(16) Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying assets unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. At September 30, 2015, 7.3% of total assets are non qualifying assets.

(1) Newtek values each SBA 7(a) performing unguaranteed loan using a discounted cash flow analysis which projects future cash flows and incorporates projections for loan pre-payments and loan defaults using historical portfolio data. The data predicts future prepayment and default probability on curves which are based on loan age. The recovery assumption for each loan is specific to the discounted valuation of the collateral supporting that loan. Each loan's cash flow is discounted at a rate which approximates a market yield. The loans were originated under the SBA 7(a) program and conform to the underwriting guidelines in effect at their time of origination. Newtek has been awarded Preferred Lender Program (“PLP”) status from the SBA. The loans are not guaranteed by the SBA. Individual loan participations can be sold to institutions which have been granted an SBA 750 license. Loans can also be sold as a pool of loans in a security form to qualified investors.
(2) Prime Rate is equal to 3.25% as of December 31, 2014.
(3) Newtek values SBA 7(a) non-performing loans using a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying collateral which supports the loan. Net recovery of collateral, (fair value less cost to liquidate) is applied to the discounted cash flow analysis

NEWTEK BUSINESS SERVICES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

On November 12, 2014, Newtek Business Services, Inc. merged with and into Newtek Business Services Corp. (“NBS”), a newly-formed Maryland corporation, for the purpose of reincorporating in Maryland (the “Merger”), and thereafter filed an election to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). This transaction is referred to as the “Conversion” or “BDC Conversion”. All subsidiaries and controlled portfolio companies became the property of Newtek Business Services Corp. as part of the Merger. Except as otherwise noted, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company” and “Newtek” refer to Newtek Business Services, Inc. prior to the Conversion and its successor, Newtek Business Services Corp. following the Conversion.
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 (Prior to BDC Conversion)
Prior to the Conversion, Newtek Business Services, Inc. was a holding company for several wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries, including twelve certified capital companies which are referred to as Capcos, and several portfolio companies in which the Capcos own non-controlling or minority interests. The Company provides a “one-stop-shop” for business services to the small and medium-sized business market and uses state of the art web-based proprietary technology to be a low cost acquirer and provider of products and services. The Company partners with companies, credit unions, and associations to offer its services.
The Company’s principal business segments were:
Electronic Payment Processing: Marketing third party credit card processing and check approval services to the small and medium-sized business market under the name of Newtek Merchant Solutions.
Managed Technology Solutions: CrystalTech Web Hosting, Inc., d/b/a Newtek Technology Services (“NTS”), offers shared and dedicated web hosting, data storage and backup services, cloud computing plans and related services to the small and medium-sized business market.
Small Business Finance: The segment was comprised of Small Business Lending, Inc., (“SBL”) a lender service provider for third-parties that primarily services government guaranteed U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and non-SBA loans; Newtek Small Business Finance, LLC (“NSBF”), a nationally licensed, SBA lender that originates, sells and services loans to qualifying small businesses, which are partially guaranteed by the SBA, and CDS Business Services, Inc. d/b/a Newtek Business Credit (“NBC”) which provides receivable financing and management services.
All Other: Businesses formed from investments made through Capco programs and others which could not be aggregated with other operating segments, including insurance and payroll processing.
Corporate Activities: Corporate implements business strategy, directs marketing, provides technology oversight and guidance, coordinates and integrates activities of the segments, contracts with alliance partners, acquires customer opportunities, and owns our proprietary NewTracker® referral system. This segment includes revenue and expenses not allocated to other segments, including interest income, Capco management fee income and corporate operations expenses.
Capco: Twelve certified capital companies which invest in small and medium-sized businesses. They generate non-cash income from tax credits and non-cash interest expense and insurance expenses in addition to cash management fees.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Newtek Business Services Corp., its subsidiaries and consolidated entities have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include all wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and several portfolio companies in which the Capcos own non-controlling interest, or those variable interest entities of which Newtek is considered to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Non-controlling interests are reported below net income (loss) under the heading “Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income prior to the BDC Conversion.

The accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Newtek’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2014 on Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, omit or condense certain footnotes and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period may not give

105

Table of Contents

a true indication of the results for the entire year. The December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
All financial information included in the tables in the following footnotes is stated in thousands, except per share data.
NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Distributions

The Company currently intends to distribute net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually out of the assets legally available for such distributions. However, the Company may decide in the future to retain such capital gains for investment and elect to treat such gains as deemed distributions to stockholders. If this happens, stockholders will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if they had received an actual distribution of the capital gains that the Company retained and reinvested the net after tax proceeds in the Company. In this situation, stockholders would be eligible to claim a tax credit (or in certain circumstances a tax refund) equal to their allocable share of the tax the Company paid on the capital gains deemed distributed to them. The Company cannot assure stockholders that it will achieve results that will permit it to pay any cash distributions, and if it issues senior securities, it may be prohibited from making distributions if doing so would cause it to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if such distributions are limited by the terms of any of its borrowings.

Unless stockholders elect to receive distributions in cash, the Company intends to make such distributions in additional shares of its common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of its common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, investors participating in the dividend reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes.

Dividends and distributions to the Company's common stockholders are recorded on the declaration date. The timing and amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management.
Fair Value

The Company applies fair value to certain of its financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company has categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.
 
The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market and the current market conditions. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for financial instruments classified as Level 3.
 
Any changes to the valuation methodology are reviewed by management and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to confirm that the changes are appropriate. As markets change, new products develop and the pricing for products becomes more or less transparent, the Company will continue to refine its valuation methodologies. See further description of fair value methodology in Note 6.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the

106

Table of Contents

date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. The level of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions increases with the length of time until the underlying transactions are complete. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation 

As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company.
 
Assets related to transactions that do not meet ASC Topic 860 — Transfers and Servicing (“ASC Topic 860”) requirements for accounting sale treatment are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as investments. Those assets are owned by the securitization trusts, and are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The creditors of the special purpose entities have received security interests in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of the Company.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Invested cash is held almost exclusively at financial institutions of high credit quality. The Company invests cash not held in interest free checking accounts or bank money market accounts mainly in U.S. Treasury only money market instruments or funds and other investment-grade securities. As of September 30, 2015, cash deposits in excess of FDIC deposit insurance and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) insurance totaled approximately $22,165,000.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash collateral relating to a letter of credit; monies due on SBA loan-related remittances to third parties; a cash reserve established as part of a voluntary agreement with the SBA, and cash reserves associated with securitization transactions.

Broker Receivable

Broker receivable represents amounts due from third parties for the sale of SBA guaranteed non-affiliate investments which have been traded at period end but have not yet settled.
Income Taxes

The Company will elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) beginning with the 2015 tax year under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and will operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company will be required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each tax year. The Company intends to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal income taxes with respect to all income distributed to its stockholders.

As a result of the Company’s conversion to a BDC and its intention to elect RIC status when it files its 2015 tax return, the Company reversed the balance of its deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2014, through additional paid-in capital on January 1, 2015.
 
Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions, and would distribute such taxable income in the next tax year. The Company would then pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar year basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, no U.S. federal excise taxes were accrued.

Investment Income


107

Table of Contents

Interest on debt investments is accrued and included in income based on contractual rates applied to principal amounts outstanding. Interest income is determined using a method that results in a level rate of return on principal amounts outstanding. When a loan becomes 90 days or more past due, or if we otherwise do not expect to receive interest and principal repayments, the loan is placed on non-accrual status and the recognition of interest income is discontinued. Interest payments received on loans that are on non-accrual status are treated as reductions of principal until the principal is repaid. Dividend income is recorded at the time dividends are declared. Distributions of earnings from portfolio companies are evaluated to determine if the distribution is income or a return of capital.

We receive servicing income related to the guaranteed portions of SBA loan investments which we sell into the secondary market. These recurring fees are earned daily and recorded when earned. Servicing income is earned for the full term of the loan or until the loan is repaid.

We receive a variety of fees from borrowers in the ordinary course of conducting our business, including packaging, late payment and prepayment fees. All other income is recorded when earned. Other income is generally non-recurring in nature and earned as "one time" fees in connection with the origination of new debt investments with non-affiliates.

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. The Company reports current period changes in the fair value of investments as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
New Accounting Standards

In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-16 “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” The update requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The update requires that the acquirer record in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods.The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements.” The update allows debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit arrangement to be deferred as an asset and subsequently amortized ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. As the Company currently presents such debt issuance costs in accordance with the update, the Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” The update changes the requirements for the presentation of certain investments using the net asset value, providing a practical expedient to exclude such investments from categorization within the fair value hierarchy and make a separate disclosure. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This update requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update to its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Segments

As a BDC, the Company has determined that it has a single reporting segment and operating unit structure. The Company issues debt and makes equity investments in portfolio companies in various industries. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its lending and investment relationships. However, because each of these debt and equity investment relationships have similar business and economic characteristics, they have been aggregated into a single lending and investment segment.

(1) During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company converted all of its debt investments in CDS Business Services, Inc. to equity.

In addition to the transactions above, the Company incurs expenses from certain controlled portfolio companies. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred $159,000 in managed technology services expenses from NTS, $82,000 in loan processing and closing expenses from Business Connect, LLC, and $5,000 in payroll processing fees from certain of its controlled portfolio companies. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company earned $18,000 in consulting and other income from certain controlled portfolio companies.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred $448,000 in managed technology services expenses from NTS, $197,000 in loan processing and closing expenses from Business Connect, LLC, and $17,000 in payroll processing fees from certain of its controlled portfolio companies. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company earned $51,000 in consulting and other income from certain controlled portfolio companies. Amounts due from and due to related parties are $4,707,000 and $1,751,000, respectively at September 30, 2015.

The Company allocates portions of salaries for management and certain other employees that perform services for certain controlled portfolio companies. Amounts are allocated based on estimates of time and effort spent by certain employees performing services for certain controlled portfolio companies. Allocations are recorded on a quarterly basis and are recurring in nature. Amounts allocated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $425,000 and $1,366,000, respectively. No amounts were allocated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as the controlled portfolio companies were consolidated subsidiaries.
NOTE 5—SERVICING ASSETS:
For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, servicing fees received on the Company’s SBA non-affiliate investments totaled $1,262,000 and $915,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, servicing

111

Table of Contents

fees received on the Company’s SBA non-affiliate investments totaled $3,373,000 and $2,661,000, respectively. The total servicing fee income recognized for loans serviced for others for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $1,711,000 and $5,248,000, respectively. As a result of the BDC Conversion, no servicing fee income was recognized for loans serviced for others for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. This revenue, which was previously included in consolidated results prior to the BDC Conversion, is recognized and earned by one of the Company's controlled portfolio companies, SBL.
The estimated fair values of capitalized servicing assets were $11,895,000 and $9,483,000 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Inherent risks related to the fair value of servicing assets include prepayment and default risks. An increase in either of these factors could have a negative impact on the fair value of servicing assets on the condensed consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Additionally, a decrease in servicing spread would also have a negative impact on the estimated fair value of servicing assets.
The estimated fair value of capitalized servicing assets at September 30, 2015 was determined using a discount factor that is a blended approach of the weighted average cost of capital and the weighted average servicing spread of 11.57%, prepayment speed of 19%, and an average cumulative default rate of 25%. The estimated fair value of servicing assets at December 31, 2014 was determined using a discount factor that is a blended approach of the weighted average cost of capital and the weighted average servicing spread of 11.58%, prepayment speed of 19%, and an average cumulative default rate of 25%. Changes in the estimated fair value of servicing assets are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations under the caption “net unrealized depreciation on servicing assets.”
NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, management uses various valuation approaches, all of which have been approved by the Company's Board. In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority (Level 1) to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and gives the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset or liability’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
 
 
Level 1
  
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury, other U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.
 
 
Level 2
  
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities, corporate debt securities, derivative contracts and residential mortgage loans held-for-sale.
 
 
Level 3
  
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights, and highly structured or long-term derivative contracts.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company assesses the levels of assets and

112

Table of Contents

liabilities at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers. There were no transfers among Level 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The following section describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure different assets and liabilities at fair value and includes the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the assets and liabilities are categorized.

Level 1 investments are valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 investments are valued using market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, based on input of management, the audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the Board to assist in the valuation of certain portfolio investments without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing twelve-month period under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.
 
When determining fair value of Level 3 debt and equity investments, the Company may take into account the following factors, where relevant: the enterprise value of a portfolio company, 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 to publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made and other relevant factors. The primary method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) or revenue. The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments and to determine if debt investments are credit impaired. If debt investments are credit impaired, the Company will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value. For debt investments that are not determined to be credit impaired, the Company uses a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value.
 
In addition, for certain debt investments, the Company may base its valuation on quotes provided by an independent third party broker.
 
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company may realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded.
 
The Company’s investments are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments are traded.

The following tables present fair value measurements of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair values as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

7.5% Notes Due 2022
In September 2015, the Company and U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Trustee”), entered into the First Supplemental Indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) to the Base Indenture between the Company and the Trustee, dated September 23, 2015, relating to the Company’s issuance, offer and sale of $8,200,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.5% notes due 2022. In October 2015, the underwriters issued notification to exercise their over-allotment option for an additional $124,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The sale of the Notes generated net proceeds of approximately $7,913,000.

The Notes will mature on September 30, 2022 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time or from time to time on or after September 23, 2018, at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest payments otherwise payable for the then-current quarterly interest period accrued to but not including the date fixed for redemption. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per year payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, commencing on December 31, 2015, and trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the trading symbol “NEWTZ.”

The Notes will be the Company’s direct unsecured obligations and will rank: (i) pari passu with the Company’s other outstanding and future unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that expressly provides it is subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to all the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness that is initially unsecured to which the Company subsequently grants security), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of any of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Base Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, contains certain covenants including covenants requiring the Company to comply with (regardless of whether it is subject to) the asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act and to comply with the restrictions on dividends, distributions and purchase of capital stock set forth in Section 18(a)(1)(B) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture. The Base Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, also contains certain reporting requirements, including a requirement that the Company provide financial information to the holders of the Notes and the Trustee if the Company should no longer be subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Base Indenture provides for customary events of default. As of September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture.

At both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Notes had an outstanding principal balance of $8,200,000 and $0, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest expense and amortization of related deferred financing costs were $13,677 and $1,600, respectively.

Securitization Notes

Table of Contents


In September 2015, NSBF issued additional unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes as part of an upsizing of the Newtek Small Business Loan Trust, Series 2010-1. Note principal amounts of the original and exchanged notes were approximately $8,771,000 with additional notes which totaled approximately $32,028,000 as part of the upsizing. The initial aggregate amount of the senior notes issued by the trust were approximately $40,800,000 on the closing date. The notes are collateralized by approximately $46,458,000 of SBA 7(a) unguaranteed portions and include a prefunded amount of $14,679,000 to be originated and transferred subsequently to the trust. The notes retained their AA rating under S&P, and the final maturity of the amended notes is February 25, 2041.
Note Payable - Related Parties
In June 2015, the Company received $19,119,000 under an unsecured line of credit extended by UPS and NTS. Maximum borrowings under the line of credit are $38,000,000. The outstanding balance shall bear interest at a rate equal to (a) the greater of LIBOR or 50 basis points plus (b) 7% or at a rate equal to (y) the greater of the Prime Rate or 350 basis points, plus (z) 6%. The interest rate in effect is equal to the interest rate on the term loan between UPS, NTS, Premier and Goldman Sachs Bank USA as discussed in Note 8. At September 30, 2015, the line of credit bears interest at a rate of 7.5%. The revolving line of credit has a maturity date of June 21, 2019. The outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2015 were $18,121,000. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $461,000 and $491,000, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. No interest expense was incurred in 2014.
Capital One Line of Credit (NBS)
In June 2015, the Company paid off and retired the Capital One term loan and revolving line of credit. The proceeds used to pay down the Capital One term loan and accrued interest of $8,879,000 as of June 23, 2015 were received from two controlled portfolio companies. There was no amount due on the revolving line of credit with Capital One at September 30, 2015.
NOTE 8—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its wholly owned portfolio companies may from time to time be party to lawsuits and claims. The Company evaluates such matters on a case by case basis and its policy is to contest vigorously any claims it believes are without compelling merit. The Company’s wholly owned portfolio companies are currently involved in various litigation matters. 

On January 21, 2014, NCMIC Finance Corporation (“NCMIC”) filed a complaint against Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC (“UPS”), the Company’s merchant processing portfolio company, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. The complaint asserts claims against UPS for breach of the UPS and NCMIC agreement for the processing of credit card transactions, and seeks monetary relief. The Company believes that the claims asserted in the complaint are wholly without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. Trial is currently set for December 2015.

On October 13, 2015, UPS filed an action against NCMIC and NCMIC related entities seeking, among other things, indemnification in connection with the claims asserted by NCMIC against UPS, as well as for monetary damages for breach of contract and fraud.

As previously disclosed, during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) amended an existing complaint in the matter Federal Trade Commission v. WV Universal Management, LLC et al., pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the “Court”), to add UPS as an additional defendant on one count of providing substantial assistance in violation of the Telemarketing Sales Rule. On November 18, 2014, the Court issued an Order granting the FTC’s motion for summary judgment against UPS on the single count. Subsequently, the FTC filed motions for a permanent injunction and equitable monetary relief against UPS and the other remaining defendants. Prior to the Court hearing on the motions, UPS and the FTC reached a settlement on the FTC’s motion for a permanent injunction. On February 11, 2015, the Court granted the FTC’s motion for equitable relief against UPS and the other remaining defendants, ordering that the remaining defendants pay $1,735,000 in equitable monetary relief. UPS had previously recorded a reserve for the full amount of the potential loss.

Table of Contents

UPS instituted an action against a former independent sales agent in Wisconsin state court for, among other things, breach of contract. The former sales agent answered the complaint and filed counterclaims against UPS.  The case is in the discovery phase. UPS intends to vigorously pursue its claims against the former sales agent and defend the counterclaims asserted.

Management has reviewed all other legal claims against the Company with counsel and has taken into consideration the views of such counsel, as to the outcome of the claims. In management’s opinion, final disposition of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.
Management has determined that, in the aggregate, all pending legal actions should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In addition, we believe that any amount that could be reasonably estimated of potential loss or range of potential loss is not material.
Guarantees
The Company is a guarantor on a bank line of credit held at NBC, a controlled portfolio company. Maximum borrowings under the line of credit are $10,000,000 with a maturity date of February 2016. At September 30, 2015, total principal and accrued interest owed by NBC was $4,187,000. In addition, the Company deposited $750,000 to collateralize the guarantee. On August 27, 2015, NBC entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 28, 2011 (as amended through August 27, 2015, including the Amendment, the “Agreement”), by and between Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”) and NBC. The Amendment permits NBC to use a portion of the warehouse line of credit provided by Sterling under the Agreement to fund inventory financing arrangements NBC may provide to its clients. The Amendment also removed certain restrictions placed upon the Company in connection with its guaranty of the credit facility provided under the Agreement. At September 30, 2015, the Company determined that it is not probable that payments would be required to be made under the guarantee.

NBC also entered into an additional Loan and Security Agreement with Sterling on August 27, 2015 (the “504 Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Sterling and any future participant lenders agreed to provide NBC another line of credit to fund SBA 504 loans extended by NBC (the “504 Facility”). The maximum amount of the 504 Facility is up to $35,000,000, depending upon syndication. The 504 Loan Agreement specifies certain events of default, pursuant to which all outstanding amounts under the 504 Facility could become immediately due and payable. In addition, the Company has guaranteed NBC’s obligations under the 504 Loan Agreement, pursuant to a Guaranty dated as of August 27, 2015. At September 30, 2015, the Company determined that it is not probable that payments would be required to be made under the guarantee.

On June 23, 2015, UPS and NTS (together, the “Borrowers”), each a controlled portfolio company of the Company, entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated June 23, 2015, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“GS Bank”), as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lead Arranger, pursuant to which GS Bank agreed to extend the Borrowers a term loan facility up to an aggregate principal amount of $38,000,000 (the “Facility” and each term loan made thereunder, a “Term Loan”). On September 18, 2015, the Agreement was amended to add Premier as a borrower. The Company, Newtek Business Services Holdco 1, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Intermediate Holdings”), and certain subsidiaries of Intermediate Holdings party to the Agreement from time to time, have agreed to guarantee the repayment of the Facility and are parties to the Agreement as “Guarantors” thereunder. At September 30, 2015, $22,000,000 was outstanding under this Facility. At September 30, 2015, the Company determined that it is not probable that payments would be required to be made under the guarantee.

NOTE 13—SEGMENT REPORTING:

120

Table of Contents

Operating segments are organized internally primarily by the type of services provided. Prior to converting to a BDC, the Company aggregated similar operating segments into six reportable segments: Electronic payment processing, Managed technology solutions, Small business finance, All other, Corporate and Capcos.
The Electronic payment processing segment is a processor of credit card transactions, as well as a marketer of credit card and check approval services to the small and medium-sized business market. Expenses include direct costs (included in a separate line captioned electronic payment processing costs), professional fees, salaries and benefits, and other general and administrative costs, all of which are included in the respective caption on the consolidated statements of operations.
The Small business finance segment consists of Small Business Lending, Inc., a lender service provider for third-parties that primarily services government guaranteed SBA loans and non-SBA loans; Texas Whitestone Group which manages the Company’s Texas Capco; Newtek Small Business Finance, LLC, a nationally licensed SBA lender that originates, sells and services loans to qualifying small businesses; and Newtek Business Credit which provides accounts receivable financing, billing and accounts receivable maintenance services to businesses. NSBF generates revenues from sales of loans, servicing income for those loans retained and interest income earned on the loans themselves. The lender generates expenses for interest, professional fees, salaries and benefits, depreciation and amortization, and provision for loan losses, all of which are included in the respective caption on the consolidated statements of operations. NSBF also has expenses such as loan recovery expenses, loan processing costs, and other expenses that are all included in the other general and administrative costs caption on the consolidated statements of operations.
The Managed technology solutions segment consists of NTS which was acquired in July 2004. NTS’s revenues are derived primarily from web hosting services and consist of web hosting and set up fees. NTS generates expenses such as professional fees, payroll and benefits, and depreciation and amortization, which are included in the respective caption on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, as well as licenses and fees, rent, and general office expenses, all of which are included in other general and administrative costs in the respective caption on the consolidated statements of operations.
The All other segment includes revenues and expenses primarily from qualified businesses that received investments made through the Company’s Capcos which cannot be aggregated with other operating segments. The three largest entities in the segment are Newtek Insurance Agency, LLC, an insurance sales operation, PMTWorks Payroll, LLC, a provider of payroll processing services and Business Connect, LLC, a provider of sales and processing services.
Corporate activities represent revenue and expenses not allocated to our segments. Revenue includes interest income and management fees earned from Capcos (and included in expenses in the Capco segment). Expenses primarily include corporate operations related to broad-based sales and marketing, legal, finance, information technology, corporate development and additional costs associated with administering the Capcos.
The Capco segment, which consists of the twelve Capcos, generates non-cash income from tax credits, interest income and gains from investments in qualified businesses which are included in other income. Expenses primarily include non-cash interest and insurance expense, management fees paid to Newtek (and included in Corporate activities revenues), legal, audit fees and losses from investments in qualified businesses.
Management had considered the following characteristics when making its determination of its operating and reportable segments:
the nature of the product and services;
the type or class of customer for their products and services;
the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and
the nature of the regulatory environment (for example, banking, insurance, or public utilities).
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
The Company no longer has six reportable segments after November 11, 2014 as a result of the Conversion. The segment information presented below represents results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, there is only one reportable segment.

NOTE 15—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

Quarterly Dividend
On October 1, 2015 the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share payable on November 3, 2015 to stockholders of record as of October 22, 2015. The dividend will be paid in cash or shares of the Company's common stock through participation in the Company's dividend reinvestment plan, at the election of stockholders.
Special Dividend/NAV
On October 1, 2015, the Company declared a one-time special dividend of approximately $34,000,000 or $3.29 per share payable on December 31, 2015 to stockholders of record as of November 18, 2015. As a result of the completion of the Company's sale of 2,300,000 common shares on October 15, 2015, as discussed below, the special dividend per share has been adjusted to $2.69 per share. This special dividend was declared as a result of the Company’s intention to elect RIC status for tax year 2015, as it must distribute 100% of its accumulated earnings and profits through December 31, 2014 in order to qualify as a RIC.  The special dividend amount of approximately $34,000,000 was computed based on the final earnings and profits analysis completed through December 31, 2014.
The dividend will be paid in cash or shares of the Company's common stock at the election of each stockholder. The total amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders will be limited to 27% of the total dividend to be paid to stockholders. The

123

Table of Contents

remainder of the dividend (approximately 73%) will be paid in the form of shares of the Company's common stock. The exact distribution of cash and stock to any given stockholder will be dependent upon their election as well as elections of other stockholders, subject to the pro-rata limitation described above.
As a result of its declaring the special dividend, and the resulting obligation, as well as the Board’s assessment as to whether any other material change in the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) has occurred since the Company disclosed NAV in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Board adjusted the Company’s NAV on the declaration date of the special dividend to reflect the total obligation. As the number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be distributed to shareholders was undeterminable on the date of declaration, the Company recorded the entire amount of the special dividend obligation as a liability on October 1, 2015, with a corresponding reduction in NAV and NAV per share. As a further result, the Board declared an adjusted NAV of $135.6 million and NAV per share of $13.10, based on the Company’s common shares outstanding as of October 1, 2015. Further, when the special dividend is paid, the resulting impact to NAV may be an increase in NAV based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued at the election of shareholders and the market value of the shares upon issuance.

Pursuant to Board determination, the following is the Company's NAV, and NAV per share on September 30, 2015 and the Company's NAV and NAV per share on October 1, 2015 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview

On November 12, 2014, Newtek Business Services, Inc. merged with and into Newtek Business Services Corp. (“NBS”), a newly-formed Maryland corporation, for the purpose of reincorporating in Maryland (the “Merger”), and thereafter filed an election to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). This transaction is referred to as the “Conversion” or “BDC Conversion”. All subsidiaries and controlled portfolio companies became the property of Newtek Business Services Corp. as part of the Merger. Except as otherwise noted, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company” and “Newtek” refer to Newtek Business Services, Inc. prior to the Conversion and its successor, Newtek Business Services Corp. following the Conversion.

We are an internally-managed, closed-end, investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we intend to elect to be treated as a regulated invested company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”) beginning in the 2015 tax year. As a BDC and a RIC, we are also subject to certain constraints, including limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the Code. We converted to a BDC in November 2014. As a result, previously consolidated subsidiaries are now recorded as investments in controlled portfolio companies, at fair value. Newtek Small Business Finance, LLC is a consolidated subsidiary and originates loans under the SBA's 7(a) program.
 
Our shares are currently listed on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “NEWT”.

We target our debt investments, which are principally made through our small business finance platform under the SBA 7(a) program, to produce a coupon rate of prime plus 2.75% which enables us to generate rapid sales of loans in the secondary market, producing gains with a yield on investment in excess of 30%. We typically structure our debt investments with the maximum seniority and collateral along with personal guarantees from portfolio company owners, in many cases collateralized by other assets including real estate. In most cases, our debt investment will be collateralized by a first lien on the assets of the portfolio company and a first or second lien on assets of guarantors, in both cases primarily real estate. All SBA loans are made with personal guarantees from any owner(s) of 20% or more of the portfolio company’s equity.

We typically structure our debt investments to include non-financial covenants that seek to minimize our risk of capital loss such as lien protection and prohibitions against change of control. Our debt investments have strong protections, including default penalties, information rights and, in some cases, board observation rights and affirmative, negative and financial covenants. Debt investments in portfolio companies, including the controlled portfolio companies, have historically and are expected to continue to comprise the majority of our overall investments in number and dollar volume.

While the vast majority of our investments have been structured as debt, we have in the past and expect in the future to make selective equity investments primarily as either strategic investments to enhance the integrated operating businesses or, to a lesser degree, under the Capco programs. For investments in our controlled portfolio companies, we focus more on tailoring them to the long term growth needs of the companies than to immediate return. Our objectives with these companies is to foster the development of the businesses as a part of the integrated operational business of serving the SMB market, so we may reduce the burden on these companies to enable them to grow faster than they would otherwise as another means of supporting their development and that of the integrated whole.
In September 2015, the Company completed a public offering of $8,200,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.5% notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). The Notes mature on September 30, 2022 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company's option on or after September 23, 2018. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per year payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, of each year, beginning December 31, 2015 and trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the trading symbol “NEWTZ.” Subsequent to September 30, 2015, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase additional notes for an additional $119,660 in net proceeds. See Note 7 “Borrowings” for additional detail.

On July 23, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of Premier Payments LLC (“Premier”). Premier was owned 100% by a related party of the Company.  The total purchase price was approximately $16,483,000, of which $14,011,000 was paid in cash and $2,472,000 was paid in newly issued restricted shares of Newtek common stock. A total of 130,959 shares were issued on the date of acquisition which may not be sold or transferred for six months. The Company’s board of directors, including a majority of independent directors, approved the transaction.

In Capco investments, we often make debt investments in conjunction with being granted equity in the company in the same class of security as the business owner receives upon funding. We generally seek to structure our equity investments to provide us with minority rights provisions and event-driven put rights. We also seek to obtain limited registration rights in connection with these investments, which may include “piggyback” registration rights.

In May 2015, Exponential of New York, LLC received notice from the state of New York that the Company's request to be decertified as a Capco had been granted. The State of New York acknowledged that the Company had met the required level of qualified investments and satisfied all investment obligations.

In June 2015, Wilshire Texas Partners I, LLC received notice from the state of Texas that the Company's request to be decertified as a Capco had been granted. The State of Texas acknowledged that the Company had met the required level of qualified investments and satisfied all investment obligations.

On June 23, 2015, Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC and CrystalTech Web Hosting, Inc. (the “Borrowers”) entered into a four year credit agreement (the “Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“Goldman Sachs”) where Goldman Sachs agreed to extend a term loan facility up to an aggregate principal amount of $38,000,000. A portion of the proceeds or $19,119,000 was disbursed to the Company under a revolving line of credit. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the line to repay the outstanding balance of the Company's term loan and accrued interest with Capital One in the amount of $8,879,000. The remainder of the proceeds are to be used to finance future growth and for general corporate purposes. The term loan provides for monthly payments of interest with a balloon payment at the end of the term. Each term loan shall either be a “Base Rate Loan” or “LIBOR Rate Loan” at the Borrowers' election. Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding balance at a rate equal to (a) the greater of LIBOR or 50 basis points plus (b) 7% and each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding balance at a rate equal to (y) the greater of the Prime Rate or 350 basis points, plus (z) 6%. On September 8, 2015, the Agreement was amended to include Premier as a Borrower. The credit agreement has a maturity date of June 21, 2019. As of September 30, 2015, the outstanding principal is $22,000,000.
On August 27, 2015, NBC entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 28, 2011 (as amended through August 27, 2015, including the Amendment, the “Agreement”), by and between Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”) and NBC. The Amendment permits NBC to use a portion of the warehouse line of credit provided by Sterling under the Agreement to fund inventory financing arrangements NBC may provide to its clients. The Amendment also removed certain restrictions placed upon the Company in connection with its guaranty of the credit facility provided under the Agreement.

NBC also entered into an additional Loan and Security Agreement with Sterling on August 27, 2015 (the “504 Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Sterling and any future participant lenders agreed to provide NBC another line of credit to fund SBA 504 loans extended by NBC (the “504 Facility”). The maximum amount of the 504 Facility is up to $35,000,000, depending upon syndication. The 504 Loan Agreement specifies certain events of default, pursuant to which all outstanding amounts under the 504 Facility could become immediately due and payable. In addition, the Company has guaranteed NBC’s obligations under the 504 Loan Agreement, pursuant to a Guaranty dated as of August 27, 2015.

Revenues

We generate revenue in the form of interest, dividend, servicing and other fee income on debt and equity investments. Our debt investments typically have a term of 10 to 25 years and bear interest at prime plus a margin. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. We receive servicing income related to the guaranteed portions of SBA investments which we sell into the secondary market. These recurring fees are earned daily and recorded when earned. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of packaging, prepayment, legal and late fees. We record such fees related to loans as other income. Dividends are recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividends on common equity securities are recorded as dividend income on the declaration date for private portfolio companies.

We recognize realized gains or losses on investments based on the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We record current period changes in fair value of investments and assets that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments or servicing assets, as appropriate, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Expenses
Our primary operating expenses are salaries and benefits, interest expense and other general and administrative fees, such as professional fees, marketing, loan related costs and rent. Since we are an internally-managed BDC with no outside adviser or management company, the BDC incurs all the related costs to operate the Company.

commission revenue, and other income related to our payroll processing and accounts receivable financing and billing services included in the results for the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Interest Income
Substantially all interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was derived from SBA non-affiliate investments/loans. Interest income derived from SBA non-affiliate investments was $2,134,000 and $1,688,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in interest income was attributable to the average outstanding performing portfolio of SBA non-affiliate investments/loans increasing to $140,702,000 from $106,398,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in the average outstanding performing portfolio resulted from the origination of new SBA non-affiliate investments period over period.

Servicing fee income from the NSBF originated portfolio increased by $347,000 to $1,262,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 2014. The increase was attributable to the increase in total portfolio investments for which we earn servicing income. The portfolio increased $145,509,000 period over period. The increase was a direct result of increased investments in SBA non-affiliate investments from 2014 to 2015. There was no servicing fee income recognized for loans serviced for third parties for the three months ended September 30, 2015. This third party servicing revenue, which was previously included in consolidated results, is recognized and earned by one of the Company's controlled portfolio companies, Small Business Lending, Inc.
Dividend Income
Dividend income was $3,093,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and represents $1,300,000 received from Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC (“UPS”), $1,080,000 from Exponential Business Development Co., Inc. $200,000 from CrystalTech Web Hosting, Inc. (“NTS”), $300,000 from Premier Payments LLC (“Premier”) and $200,000 from Small Business Lending, Inc. (“SBL”) All dividends were received from controlled portfolio companies.
Other Income
Other income of $472,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 relates primarily to legal, packaging, prepayment, and late fees earned from SBA loans. Other income is not comparable period over period as 2014 amounts include revenue from certain controlled portfolio companies which were consolidated subsidiaries at September 30, 2014.
Adjusted Net Investment Income

We utilize adjusted net investment income as a measure of our current and future financial performance. Adjusted net investment income is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended as an alternative measure of investment income as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our calculation of adjusted net investment income is not necessarily comparable to similar measures as calculated by other companies that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines. The table below reconciles net investment loss to adjusted net investment income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company did not operate as a BDC and therefore did not have net investment or adjusted net investment income. We believe this is a useful measure as it depicts the current income generated from our investment activities during the period. We include net realized gains on investments because they are recurring income related to the sale of SBA guaranteed non-affiliate investments in the secondary market.
Expenses
Total expenses decreased from $33,148,000 to $8,529,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 to 2015 as a result of the conversion to a BDC in November 2014. Electronic payment processing costs, salaries and benefits, depreciation and amortization, and other general and administrative expenses related to certain subsidiaries in 2014 are not included in 2015 results. As previously discussed, certain consolidated subsidiaries in 2014 are now reflected as investments in controlled portfolio companies and their results of operations are not included in 2015.
Interest expense increased by $534,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 2014. The following table highlights the components of interest expense for each period:

Interest expense related to securitizations increased as a result of an additional securitization transaction completed in December 2014. In June 2015, the Company received $19,119,000 under an unsecured revolving line of credit extended by UPS and NTS and incurred $461,000 in interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2015. In June 2014,  the Company entered into a four year $20,000,000 credit agreement with Capital One, N.A. (“Capital One”) consisting of a $10,000,000 term loan and a revolving line of credit of up to $10,000,000. The Capital One term loan and line of credit were paid in full and extinguished in June 2015. In addition, $15,000 in interest expense was incurred on the Notes Due 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company did not incur interest expense related to the Sterling line of credit as it relates to Newtek Business Credit, a non-consolidated controlled portfolio company. Prior to the BDC Conversion, Newtek Business Credit was a consolidated subsidiary.
Net Realized Gains and Net Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation

Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the cost basis of our investments without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized and includes investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Realized gains for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were approximately $6,848,000 offset by approximately $228,000 of realized losses. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments primarily reflects the change in portfolio investment fair values during the

reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

(1) Realized gains/premiums greater than 110.00% must be split 50/50 with the SBA in accordance with SBA regulations. The realized gains/premium income recognized above reflects amounts net of split with SBA.

Net realized gains for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $6,620,000 compared to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Net realized gains for the three months ended September 30, 2015 are comparable to premium income for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Premium income of $5,801,000 in 2014 relates to income earned from the sale of SBA loans. As a result of the BDC Conversion, the income related to these sales are recorded as realized gains in 2015. The increase is attributed to the increase in SBA investments sold. The increase was offset by a decrease in average sale premium from 113.19% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 111.34% three months ended September 30, 2015.

Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments
Unrealized appreciation on SBA guaranteed non-affiliate investments for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $1,486,000. This appreciation relates to guaranteed portions of SBA debt investments made for which the Company sells into a secondary market. Unrealized depreciation of SBA guaranteed investments was $1,534,000 which represents the reversal of the unrealized appreciation of SBA guaranteed non-affiliate investments sold during the quarter. Net unrealized depreciation on SBA unguaranteed non-affiliate investments resulted from fair value adjustments on new investments.

Net unrealized appreciation on controlled investments was $770,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. This consisted primarily of $600,000, $215,000 and $200,000 of unrealized appreciation on the Company's investments in UPS, SBL and Newtek Insurance Agency, LLC (“NIA”), respectively. Unrealized appreciation was offset by unrealized depreciation of $50,000 and $208,000 on the Company's investments in NTS and NBC. The primary driver of the increase in UPS and NIA was better than projected financial performance. The primary driver of the increase in SBL was better than projected financial performance and the addition of a new third-party servicing contract which provides a longer-term stable revenue stream. The primary driver of the decrease in NTS and NBC was weaker than projected financial performance.

Net Unrealized Depreciation on Servicing Assets

The unrealized loss on servicing assets was $565,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. In 2014, servicing assets were recorded using the amortization method. As a result of the BDC Conversion, servicing assets are recorded at fair value at September 30, 2015. Amortization expense related to servicing assets was $397,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Comparison for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
Investment Income
Investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $17,394,000 compared with total operating revenues of $112,381,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As a result of the BDC Conversion, there is no electronic payment processing revenue, web hosting and design revenue, servicing fee income from external portfolios, insurance commission revenue, and other income related to our payroll processing and accounts receivable financing and billing services included in the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Interest Income
Substantially all interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was derived from SBA non-affiliate investments/loans. Interest income derived from SBA non-affiliate investments was $6,483,000 and $4,810,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in interest income is attributable to the average outstanding performing portfolio of SBA non-affiliate investments/loans increasing to $132,758,000 from $100,281,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in the average outstanding performing portfolio resulted from the origination of new SBA non-affiliate investments period over period.

Servicing fee income from the NSBF originated portfolio increased by $712,000 to $3,373,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 2014. The increase was attributable to the increase in total portfolio investments for which we earn servicing income. The portfolio increased $145,509,000 period over period. The increase was a direct result of increased investments in SBA non-affiliate investments from 2014 to 2015. There was no servicing fee income recognized for loans serviced for third parties for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This third party servicing revenue, which was previously included in consolidated results, is recognized and earned by one of the Company's controlled portfolio companies, SBL.
Dividend Income
Dividend income was $5,967,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and represents $3,600,000 received from UPS, $1,080,000 from Exponential Business Development Co., Inc. $600,000 from NTS, $300,000 from Premier and $348,000 from SBL. All dividends were received from controlled portfolio companies.
Other Income
Other income of $1,343,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relates primarily to legal, packaging, prepayment, and late fees earned from SBA loans. Other income is not comparable period over period as 2014 amounts include revenue from certain controlled portfolio companies which were consolidated subsidiaries at September 30, 2014.

Net Realized Gains and Net Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation

Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the cost basis of our investments without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized and includes investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Realized gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were approximately $22,287,000 offset by approximately $628,000 of realized losses. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments primarily reflects the change in portfolio investment fair values during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

Net realized gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $21,659,000 compared to zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net realized gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are comparable to premium income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Premium income of $15,930,000 in 2014 relates to premium income earned from the sale of SBA loans. As a result of the BDC Conversion, the income related to these sales are recorded as realized gains in 2015. The increase is attributed to the increase in SBA investments sold which was partially offset by a decrease in average sale premium from 112.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 112.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments

Unrealized appreciation on SBA guaranteed non-affiliate investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $5,582,000. This appreciation relates to guaranteed portions of SBA investments made for which the Company sells into a secondary market. Unrealized depreciation of SBA guaranteed investments was $8,792,000 which represents the reversal of the unrealized appreciation of SBA guaranteed non-affiliate investments sold during the quarter. Net unrealized depreciation on SBA unguaranteed non-affiliate investments resulted from fair value adjustments on new investments.

Net unrealized appreciation on controlled investments was $10,289,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This consisted primarily of $5,339,000 of unrealized appreciation on the Company's investment in UPS and $5,565,000 of unrealized appreciation on the Company's investment in SBL offset by unrealized depreciation of approximately $420,000 on the Company's investment in NTS and $408,000 on NBC. The primary driver for the increase in SBL was the addition of a new third-party servicing contract which provides a longer-term stable revenue stream. The primary driver of the increase in UPS was better than projected financial performance.

Net Unrealized Depreciation on Servicing Assets

The unrealized loss on servicing assets was $1,177,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. In 2014, servicing assets were recorded using the amortization method. As a result of the BDC Conversion, servicing assets are recorded at fair value at September 30, 2015. Amortization expense related to servicing assets was $1,141,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Cash requirements and liquidity needs over the next twelve months are anticipated to be funded primarily through operating results, available cash and cash equivalents, existing credit lines, proposed new credit lines, additional securitizations of the Company’s SBA lender’s unguaranteed loan portions and additional issuances of common stock.
In September 2015, the Company and U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Trustee”), entered into the First Supplemental Indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) to the Base Indenture between the Company and the Trustee, dated September 23, 2015, relating to the Company’s issuance, offer and sale of $8,200,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.5% notes due 2022. In

138

Table of Contents

October 2015, the underwriters issued notification to exercise their over-allotment option for an additional $124,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The sale of the Notes generated net proceeds of approximately $7,913,000.

The Notes will mature on September 30, 2022 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time or from time to time on or after September 23, 2018, at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest payments otherwise payable for the then-current quarterly interest period accrued to but not including the date fixed for redemption. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per year payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, commencing on December 31, 2015, and trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the trading symbol “NEWTZ.”

The Notes will be the Company’s direct unsecured obligations and will rank: (i) pari passu with the Company’s other outstanding and future unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that expressly provides it is subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to all the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness that is initially unsecured to which the Company subsequently grants security), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of any of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Base Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, contains certain covenants including covenants requiring the Company to comply with (regardless of whether it is subject to) the asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act and to comply with the restrictions on dividends, distributions and purchase of capital stock set forth in Section 18(a)(1)(B) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture. The Base Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, also contains certain reporting requirements, including a requirement that the Company provide financial information to the holders of the Notes and the Trustee if the Company should no longer be subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Base Indenture provides for customary events of default. As of September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture.

The Company intends to use the proceeds primarily to expand its financing activities and increase its activity in SBA 7(a) lending and make direct investments in portfolio companies (including from time to time, acquiring controlling interests in portfolio companies in accordance with its investment objectives and strategies.
Note Payable - Related Parties

On June 23, 2015, the Borrowers, each a controlled portfolio company of the Company, entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated June 23, 2015, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA , as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lead Arranger, pursuant to which GS Bank agreed to extend to the Borrowers a term loan facility up to an aggregate principal amount of $38,000,000. On September 18, 2015, the Agreement was amended to add Premier as a Borrower. The Company, Newtek Business Services Holdco 1, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain subsidiaries of Intermediate Holdings party to the Agreement from time to time, have agreed to guarantee the repayment of the Facility and are parties to the Agreement as “Guarantors” thereunder. At September 30, 2015, $22,000,000 was outstanding under this Facility.
SBA Loans
NSBF depends on the availability of licensed SBA lenders to purchase SBA loans held for sale transferred to the secondary markets and the premium earned therein to support its lending operations. At this time the secondary market for the SBA loans held for sale is robust. However, there can be no assurances that the market will continue in this manner.
NSBF has historically financed the operations of its lending business through loans or credit facilities from various lenders and will need to continue to do so in the future, as well as raise capital through the issuance of the Company’s common stock. Such lenders invariably require a security interest in the SBA loans as collateral which, under the applicable law, requires the prior approval of the SBA. If the Company should ever be unable to obtain the approval for its financing arrangements from the SBA, or if it were otherwise unable to raise capital, it would likely be unable to continue to make loans.
Securitizations
As an alternative to holding indefinitely the portions of SBA loans remaining after sale of the guaranteed portions in the SBA supervised secondary market, NSBF has undertaken to securitize these unguaranteed portions. In December 2010, the first such securitization trust established by NSBF issued notes to one investor in the amount of $16,000,000 which received an S&P

rating of AA. A second securitization, an amendment to the original transaction, was completed in December 2011, and resulted in an additional $14,900,000 of notes issued to the same investor. NSBF used the cash generated from the first transaction to retire its outstanding term loan from Capital One and to fund a $3,000,000 account which during the first quarter of 2011 purchased unguaranteed portions originated subsequent to the securitization transaction. Similarly, the proceeds from the second securitization in 2011 were used to pay down its outstanding term loan with Capital One and to fund a $5,000,000 account used to fund additional originations in the first quarter of 2012. Additional securitizations were completed in March 2013 and December 2013 resulting in the issuance of notes in the amount of $20,909,000 and $24,434,000, respectively. Similarly, the proceeds of both transactions were used to pay down the outstanding term loan with Capital One, and a combined total of $12,945,000 was used to fund an account used to purchase unguaranteed portions of loans throughout 2013, and during the first quarter of 2014. While this securitization process can provide a long-term funding source for the SBA lender, there is no certainty that it can be conducted on an economic basis. In addition, the securitization mechanism itself does not provide liquidity in the short term for funding SBA loans.  In December 2014, NSBF completed an additional securitization transaction which resulted in the transfer of $36,000,000 of unguaranteed portions of SBA loans and an additional $7,500,000 in loans which were issued subsequent to the transaction.  The Newtek Small Business Loan Trust 2014-1in turn issued securitization notes for the par amount of $31,700,000 against the assets in a private placement. The notes received an “A” rating by S&P, and the final maturity date of the notes is July 2039. The proceeds of the transaction have been and will be used to repay debt and originate new loans.
On September 25, 2015, the Company completed a securitization of $40,800,000 of Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) AA-rated Unguaranteed SBA 7(a) Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2010-1 (the “Notes”). This was our largest securitization transaction to date and was accomplished as an amendment and supplement to our 2010-1 securitization. The Notes are collateralized by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the non-guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) Loans made by NSBF and overcollateralized by NSBF’s participation interest in the non-guaranteed interests. Sandler O’Neill + Partners L.P. acted as the placement agent for the sale of the Notes and placed this issue with five institutional investors, three of whom were new to our securitization investment program. The Notes were priced and sold to investors at a yield of 2.5%, which represents an approximate 100 basis point improvement in the overall yield since our last securitization transaction priced. S&P rated the Notes as ‘AA’ based on the collateral in the entire, upsized pool.

Capital One Term Loan and Line of Credit (NBS)

In June 2014, the Company entered into a four year $20,000,000 credit agreement with Capital One consisting of a $10,000,000 term loan and a revolving line of credit of up to $10,000,000. Principal and interest on the term loan was payable quarterly in arrears and the interest rate was Prime plus 250 basis points.  The term loan was being amortized over a six year period with a final payment due on the maturity date.  The interest rate on the revolving line of credit is also Prime plus 250 basis points and was payable monthly in arrears with the principal due at maturity. In addition, the revolving line accrued interest of 0.375% on the unused portion of the line which was payable quarterly in arrears. All outstanding principal was repaid and the credit facility was retired in June 2015.

Capital One Line of Credit (NSBF)

In July 2013 the SBA lender, received an extension on the maturity of its warehouse lines of credit, totaling $27,000,000 with Capital One from September 30, 2013 to May 31, 2015, at which time the outstanding balance would be converted into a three-year term loan. The extension also enhanced the terms of the credit facilities by removing the $15,000,000 funding sublimit for the non-guaranteed portions of the SBA 7(a) loans NSBF originates, and increasing the advance rate to 55% from 50% for the non-guaranteed portions of the SBA 7(a) loans.  As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, NSBF had $21,849,000 and $33,856,000 outstanding under the line of credit. The interest rate on the portion of the facility, collateralized by the government guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans, is set at Prime plus 100 basis points, and there is a quarterly facility fee equal to 25 basis points on the unused portion of the revolving credit calculated as of the end of each calendar quarter. The interest rate on the portion of the facility, collateralized by the non-guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans, is set at Prime plus 187.5 basis points, and there is a quarterly facility fee equal to 25 basis points on the unused portion of the revolving credit calculated as of the end of each calendar quarter. On October 29, 2014, NSBF, closed an additional $23,000,000 in financing with Capital One which increased the existing revolving credit facility from $27,000,000 to $50,000,000.  The amendment also extended the term of the facility from May 31, 2015 to May 16, 2018. In June 2015, NSBF amended its existing facility to eliminate the fixed charge coverage ratio in exchange for a debt service ratio, new EBITDA minimums, the elimination of restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends to its stockholders, as well as the release of the guarantees of the Company’s former subsidiaries (now treated as portfolio companies). In addition, the amendment extended the date on which the facility will convert to a term loan from May 16, 2016 to May 16, 2017 and extended the maturity date of the facility to May 16, 2019.  At September 30, 2015, the Company was in full compliance with all applicable loan covenants.

Cash Flows and Liquidity
As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s unused sources of liquidity consisted of $10,104,000 available through the combined Capital One facilities; $11,000,000 available through notes payable with related parties; $3,098,000 in unrestricted cash and $36,000 in money market funds.

Restricted cash of $26,722,000 as of September 30, 2015 is primarily held in NSBF. The majority, or $25,621,000 of restricted cash, is related to NSBF, and includes amounts held in a prefunded account to be used to originate new loans, reserves in the event payments are insufficient to cover interest and/or principal with respect to the securitization, payments collected which are due to loan participants, a reserve established as part of a voluntary agreement with the SBA and amounts owed to the SBA.

The summary presented above is not comparable due to cash flow presentation changes required as a result of the conversion to a BDC. The most significant change relates to the presentation of cash flows related to SBA debt investments/loans which are included in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Net cash flows from operating activities decreased $37,323,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily attributed to an increase in broker receivables. The Company did not have any broker receivables at December 31, 2014 which caused the decrease in 2015. Broker receivables arise from the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans that were traded but had not settled before period end and represent the amount of cash due from the purchasing broker; the amount varies depending on loan origination volume and timing of sales at period end. The decrease was also attributed to investments made in Premier and Titanium Asset Management LLC of $16,230,000 combined. Originations of SBA 7(a) loans (net of repayments) of $154,212,000 were offset by proceeds from the sale of SBA 7(a) guaranteed loans (net of realized gains) of

$155,333,000. As discussed below, originations and repayments were included in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 but are included in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Net cash used in investing activities primarily includes the originations and repayments of the unguaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As a result of the BDC Conversion, originations and repayments of SBA 7(a) debt investments are included in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net cash used also includes the purchase of fixed assets. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $25,064,000 to cash used of $93,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to cash used of $25,157,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was due primarily to originations and repayments of SBA 7(a) debt investments being included in operating activities subsequent to the conversion to a BDC. SBA 7(a) debt investments, net of repayments were $24,167,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $5,650,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase is primarily attributed to net borrowings from a related party note payable of $18,121,000, proceeds from notes issued due in 2022 of $8,200,000, the issuance of senior notes in connection with the upsizing of the 2010 Securitization Trust of $32,029,000. The increase was offset by a $16,036,000 increase in net repayments on bank lines of credit, $8,787,000 of dividends paid in 2015 compared to no dividends paid in 2014, a $10,975,000 decrease in restricted cash related to securitizations, an increase of $5,749,000 in payments related to securitizations, and $2,414,000 distribution to the members of Exponential of New York, LLC. In 2014, the Company had proceeds from a term loan of $10,000,00. There were no proceeds from term loans in 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and

142

Table of Contents

expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.

Distributions

Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, and to the extent that we have income available, we have made and intend to continue to make quarterly distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. Our quarterly distributions, if any, will be determined by our board of directors.

Any distribution to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of a stockholder’s basis in our stock and, assuming that a stockholder holds our stock as a capital asset, thereafter as a capital gain. Generally, a non-taxable return of capital will reduce a stockholder’s basis in our stock for federal tax purposes, which will result in higher tax liability when the stock is sold.

We intend to elect to be treated, and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under the Code, beginning with our first taxable year after the BDC Conversion, or 2015. To obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of our net long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we currently intend to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (a) 98% of our net ordinary income for such calendar year; (b) 98.2% of our capital gain net income for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year; and (c) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we previously paid no U.S. federal income tax.

We currently intend to distribute net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually out of the assets legally available for such distributions. However, we may decide in the future to retain such capital gains for investment and elect to treat such gains as deemed distributions to you. If this happens, stockholders will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if they had received an actual distribution of the capital gains that we retain and reinvested the net after tax proceeds in us. In this situation, stockholders would be eligible to claim a tax credit (or in certain circumstances a tax refund) equal to their allocable share of the tax we paid on the capital gains deemed distributed to them. We cannot assure stockholders that we will achieve results that will permit us to pay any cash distributions, and if we issue senior securities, we may be prohibited from making distributions if doing so would cause us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if such distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

Unless stockholders elect to receive distributions in cash, we intend to make such distributions in additional shares of our common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of our common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, investors participating in the dividend reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes.

Refer to Note 15 “Subsequent Events” for discussion of special dividend declared on October 1, 2015.
Fair Value Measurements

We value investments for which market quotations are readily available at their market quotations. However, a readily available market value is not expected to exist for many of the investments in our portfolio, and we value these portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors under our valuation policy and process. We may seek pricing information with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value such investments. We also employ independent third party valuation firms for certain of our investments for which there is not a readily available market value.
 
Valuation methods may include comparisons of the portfolio companies to peer companies that are public, the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings, discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private equity valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and may differ materially from values that may ultimately be received or settled.

143

Table of Contents

 
Our board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value of investments that are not publicly traded, whose market prices are not readily available on a quarterly basis or any other situation where portfolio investments require a fair value determination.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels for disclosure purposes. The Company carries all investments at fair value. Additionally, the Company carries its credits in lieu of cash, notes payable in credits in lieu of cash, and servicing assets at fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority (Level 1) to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and gives the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset or liability’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of the significant input to its valuation. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1        
  
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury, other U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.
 
 
 
Level 2
  
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities, corporate debt securities, derivative contracts and residential mortgage loans held-for-sale.
 
 
 
Level 3
  
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights, and highly structured or long-term derivative contracts.
Valuation of Investments
Level 1 investments are valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 investments are valued using market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, based on input of management, the audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the Board to assist in the valuation of certain portfolio investments without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing twelve-month period under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.

When determining fair value of Level 3 debt and equity investments, the Company may take into account the following factors, where relevant: the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons to publicly traded securities, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made and other relevant factors. The primary method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) or revenue. The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments and to determine if debt investments are credit impaired. If debt investments are credit impaired, the Company will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value. For debt investments that are not determined to be credit impaired, the Company uses a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value.


144

Table of Contents

In addition, for certain debt investments, the Company may base its valuation on quotes provided by an independent third party broker.
 
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company may realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded.
 
The Company’s investments are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments are traded.

Income Recognition

Interest on loan investments is accrued and included in income based on contractual rates applied to principal amounts outstanding. Interest income is determined using a method that results in a level rate of return on principal amounts outstanding. When a loan becomes 90 days or more past due, or if we otherwise do not expect to receive interest and principal repayments, the loan is placed on non-accrual status and the recognition of interest income is discontinued. Interest payments received on loans that are on non-accrual status are treated as reductions of principal until the principal is repaid.

We receive a variety of fees from borrowers in the ordinary course of conducting our business, including packaging fees, late fees and prepayment fees. All other income is recorded into income when earned.

Dividend income is recorded at the time dividends are declared. Distributions of earnings from a portfolio companies are evaluated to determine if the distribution is income or return of capital.

Income Taxes
 
We will elect to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify as a RIC, we are required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements, and timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each tax year. We have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders, which will generally relieve us from U.S. federal income taxes.
 
Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year in an amount less than what would trigger payments of federal income tax under Subchapter M of the Code. We would then pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income may exceed estimated current year distributions, we accrue excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.
 
Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified within capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
New Accounting Standards

In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-16 “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” The update requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The update requires that the acquirer record in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods.The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.


145

Table of Contents

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements.” The update allows debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit arrangement to be deferred as an asset and subsequently amortized ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. As the Company currently presents such debt issuance costs in accordance with the update, the Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” The update changes the requirements for the presentation of certain investments using the net asset value, providing a practical expedient to exclude such investments from categorization within the fair value hierarchy and make a separate disclosure. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This update requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update to the consolidated financial statements.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
There were no off balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2015.
Recent Developments
Quarterly Dividend
On October 1, 2015 the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share payable on November 3, 2015 to stockholders of record as of October 22, 2015. The dividend will be paid in cash or shares of the Company's common stock through participation in the Company's dividend reinvestment plan, at the election of stockholders.
Special Dividend/NAV
On October 1, 2015, the Company declared a one-time special dividend of approximately $34,000,000 or $3.29 per share payable on December 31, 2015 to stockholders of record as of November 18, 2015. As a result of the completion of the Company's sale of 2,300,000 common shares on October 15,2015, as discussed below, the special dividend per share has been adjusted to $2.69 per share. This special dividend was declared as a result of the Company’s intention to elect RIC status for tax year 2015, as it must distribute 100% of its accumulated earnings and profits through December 31, 2014 in order to qualify as a RIC.  The special dividend amount of approximately $34,000,000 was computed based on the final earnings and profits analysis completed through December 31, 2014.
The dividend will be paid in cash or shares of the Company's common stock at the election of each stockholder. The total amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders will be limited to 27% of the total dividend to be paid to stockholders. The remainder of the dividend (approximately 73%) will be paid in the form of shares of the Company's common stock. The exact distribution of cash and stock to any given stockholder will be dependent upon their election as well as elections of other stockholders, subject to the pro-rata limitation described above.
As a result of its declaring the special dividend, and the resulting obligation, as well as the Board’s assessment as to whether any other material change in the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) has occurred since the Company disclosed NAV in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Board adjusted the Company’s NAV on the declaration date of the special dividend to reflect the total obligation. As the number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be distributed to shareholders was undeterminable on the date of declaration, the Company recorded the entire amount of the special dividend obligation as a liability on October 1, 2015, with a corresponding reduction in NAV and NAV per share. As a further result, the Board declared an adjusted NAV of $135.6 million and NAV per share of $13.10, based on the Company’s common shares outstanding as of October 1, 2015. Further, when the special dividend is paid, the resulting impact to NAV may be an increase in NAV based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued at the election of shareholders and the market value of the shares upon issuance.

Pursuant to Board determination, the following is the Company's NAV, and NAV per share on September 30, 2015 and the Company's NAV and NAV per share on October 1, 2015 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We consider the principal types of risk in our investing activities to be fluctuations in interest rates and loan portfolio valuations and the availability of the secondary market for our SBA loans. Risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.
NSBF primarily lends at an interest rate of prime, which resets on a quarterly basis, plus a fixed margin. The Capital One term loan and revolver lines as well as the securitization notes are on a prime plus a fixed factor basis. As a result, the Company believes it has matched its cost of funds to its interest income in its financing activities. However, because of the differential between the amount lent and the smaller amount financed a significant change in market interest rates will have a material effect on our income. In periods of sharply rising interest rates, our cost of funds will increase at a slower rate than the interest income earned on the loans we have made; this should improve our net investment income, holding all other factors constant. However, a reduction in interest rates will result in the Company experiencing a reduction in investment income; that is, its interest income will decline more quickly than interest expense resulting in a net reduction of benefit to investment income.
NSBF depends on the availability of secondary market purchasers for the guaranteed portions of SBA loans and the premium received on such sales to support its lending operations. At this time the secondary market for the guaranteed portions of SBA loans is robust but during the 2008 and 2009 financial crisis the Company had difficulty selling its loans for a premium; although not expected at this time, if such conditions did recur NSBF would most likely cease making new loans and could experience a substantial reduction in profitability.
We do not have significant exposure to changing interest rates on invested cash (includes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and money market funds) which was approximately $29,856,000 at September 30, 2015. We do not purchase or hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. All of our transactions are conducted in U.S. dollars and we do not have any foreign currency or foreign exchange risk. We do not trade commodities or have any commodity price risk.
We believe that we have placed our demand deposits, cash investments and their equivalents with high credit-quality financial institutions. Invested cash is held almost exclusively at financial institutions of high credit quality. The Company invests cash not held in interest free checking accounts or bank money market accounts mainly in U.S. Treasury only money market instruments or funds and other investment-grade securities. As of September 30, 2015, cash deposits in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance totaled approximately $22,165,000.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of the period covered by this report, we, including our chief executive officer and chief accounting officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on our evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief accounting officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting management, including the chief executive officer and chief accounting officer, of material information about us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, are based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and 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 possible controls and procedures. There has not been any change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its wholly owned portfolio companies may from time to time be party to lawsuits and claims. The Company evaluates such matters on a case by case basis and its policy is to contest vigorously any claims it believes are without compelling merit. The Company’s wholly owned portfolio companies are currently involved in various litigation matters. 

On January 21, 2014, NCMIC Finance Corporation (“NCMIC”) filed a complaint against Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC (“UPS”), the Company’s merchant processing portfolio company, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. The complaint asserts claims against UPS for breach of the UPS and NCMIC agreement for the processing of credit card transactions, and seeks monetary relief. The Company believes that the claims asserted in the complaint are wholly without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. Trial is currently set for December 2015.

On October 13, 2015, UPS filed an action against NCMIC and NCMIC related entities seeking, among other things, indemnification in connection with the claims asserted by NCMIC against UPS, as well as for monetary damages for breach of contract and fraud.

As previously disclosed, during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) amended an existing complaint in the matter Federal Trade Commission v. WV Universal Management, LLC et al., pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the “Court”), to add UPS as an additional defendant on one count of providing substantial assistance in violation of the Telemarketing Sales Rule. On November 18, 2014, the Court issued an Order granting the FTC’s motion for summary judgment against UPS on the single count. Subsequently, the FTC filed motions for a permanent injunction and equitable monetary relief against UPS and the other remaining defendants. Prior to the Court hearing on the motions, UPS and the FTC reached a settlement on the FTC’s motion for a permanent injunction. On February 11, 2015, the Court granted the FTC’s motion for equitable relief against UPS and the other remaining defendants, ordering that the remaining defendants pay $1,735,000 in equitable monetary relief. UPS had previously recorded a reserve for the full amount of the potential loss. On May 19, 2015, the Court entered an equitable monetary judgment against UPS for approximately $1,735,000, which has been deposited with the Court pending the outcome of UPS’ appeal of the judgment.

UPS instituted an action against a former independent sales agent in Wisconsin state court for, among other things, breach of contract.  The former sales agent answered the complaint and filed counterclaims against UPS.  The case is in the discovery phase.  UPS intends to vigorously pursue its claims against the former sales agent and defend the counterclaims asserted.

Management has reviewed all other legal claims against the Company with counsel and has taken into consideration the views of such counsel, as to the outcome of the claims. In management’s opinion, final disposition of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to risks factors discussed below, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties are not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

The 7.5% notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) are unsecured and therefore are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness we have outstanding or may incur in the future.

The Notes are not secured by any of our assets or any of the assets of our subsidiaries. As a result, the Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness we or our subsidiaries have outstanding or may incur in the future (or any indebtedness that is initially unsecured to which we subsequently grant security). In any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding, the holders of any of our existing or future secured indebtedness and the existing or future secured indebtedness of our subsidiaries may assert rights against the assets pledged to secure that indebtedness in order to receive full payment of their indebtedness before the assets may be used to pay other creditors, including the holders of the Notes. As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $146,100,000 of indebtedness outstanding.


149

Table of Contents

The Notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.

The Notes are obligations exclusively of the Company and not of any of our subsidiaries. None of our subsidiaries is a guarantor of the Notes and the Notes are not required to be guaranteed by any subsidiaries we may acquire or create in the future. Any assets of our subsidiaries will not be directly available to satisfy the claims of our creditors, including holders of the Notes.

Except to the extent we are a creditor with recognized claims against our subsidiaries, all claims of creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of preferred stock, if any, of our subsidiaries will have priority over our equity interests in such subsidiaries (and therefore the claims of our creditors, including holders of the Notes) with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries. Even if we are recognized as a creditor of one or more of our subsidiaries, our claims would still be effectively subordinated to any security interests in the assets of any such subsidiary and to any indebtedness or other liabilities of any such subsidiary senior to our claims. Consequently, the Notes are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of any of our subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or establish as financing vehicles or otherwise.

The indenture under which the Notes were issued contains limited protection for holders of the Notes.

The indenture under which the Notes were issued offers limited protection to holders of the Notes. The terms of the indenture and the Notes do not restrict our or any of our subsidiaries’ ability to engage in, or otherwise be a party to, a variety of corporate transactions, circumstances or events that could have a material adverse impact on your investment in the Notes. In particular, the terms of the indenture and the Notes do not place any restrictions on our or our subsidiaries’ ability to:

issue securities or otherwise incur additional indebtedness or other obligations, including (1) any indebtedness or other obligations that would be equal in right of payment to the Notes, (2) any indebtedness or other obligations that would be secured and therefore rank effectively senior in right of payment to the Notes, (3) indebtedness of ours that is guaranteed by one or more of our subsidiaries and which therefore is structurally senior to the Notes and (4) securities, indebtedness or obligations issued or incurred by our subsidiaries that would be senior to our equity interests in our subsidiaries and therefore rank structurally senior to the Notes with respect to the assets of our subsidiaries, in each case other than an incurrence of indebtedness or other obligation that would cause a violation of Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act or any successor provisions, whether or not we continue to be subject to such provisions of the 1940 Act, but giving effect, in either case, to any exemptive relief granted to us by the SEC. Currently, these provisions generally prohibit us from making additional borrowings, including through the issuance of additional debt or the sale of additional debt securities, unless our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such borrowings;

pay dividends on, or purchase or redeem or make any payments in respect of, capital stock or other securities ranking junior in right of payment to the Notes, including subordinated indebtedness, in each case other than dividends, purchases, redemptions or payments that would cause a violation of Section 18(a)(1)(B) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act or any successor provisions, giving effect to (i) any exemptive relief granted to us by the SEC and (ii) no-action relief granted by the SEC to another BDC (or to the Company if it determines to seek such similar no-action or other relief) permitting the BDC to declare any cash dividend or distribution notwithstanding the prohibition contained in Section 18(a)(1)(B) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act in order to maintain the BDC’s status as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code (these provisions generally prohibit us from declaring any cash dividend or distribution upon any class of our capital stock, or purchasing any such capital stock if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is below 200% at the time of the declaration of the dividend or distribution or the purchase and after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase);

sell assets (other than certain limited restrictions on our ability to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets);

enter into transactions with affiliates;

create liens (including liens on the shares of our subsidiaries) or enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

make investments; or

create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us from our subsidiaries.


150

Table of Contents

In addition, the indenture does not require us to offer to purchase the Notes in connection with a change of control, asset sale or any other event.

Furthermore, the terms of the indenture and the Notes do not protect holders of the Notes in the event that we experience changes (including significant adverse changes) in our financial condition, results of operations or credit ratings, as they do not require that we or our subsidiaries adhere to any financial tests or ratios or specified levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow or liquidity.

Our ability to recapitalize, incur additional debt and take a number of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the Notes may have important consequences for you as a holder of the Notes, including making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the Notes or negatively affecting the trading value of the Notes.

Other debt we issue or incur in the future could contain more protections for its holders than the indenture and the Notes, including additional covenants and events of default. The issuance or incurrence of any such debt with incremental protections could affect the market for and trading levels and prices of the Notes.

The trading market or market value of our publicly traded debt securities may fluctuate

The Notes are a new issue of debt securities listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “NEWTZ.” Although the Notes are listed on NASDAQ, we cannot assure you that a trading market for our publicly issued debt securities will be maintained. In addition to our creditworthiness, many factors may materially adversely affect the trading market for, and market value of, our publicly issued debt securities. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
the time remaining to the maturity of these debt instruments;
the outstanding principal amount of debt securities with terms identical to these debt securities;
the ratings assigned by the national statistical rating agencies;
the general economic environment;
the supply of debt securities trading in the secondary market, if any;
the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally; and
market rates of interest higher or lower than rates borne by the debt securities.

You should be aware that there may be a limited number of buyers when you decide to sell your securities. This too may materially adversely affect the market value of the debt securities of the trading market for the debt securities.

If we default on our obligations to pay other indebtedness that we may incur in the future, we may not be able to make payments on the Notes.

In the future, we may enter into agreements to incur additional indebtedness, including a secured credit facility. A default under such agreements to which we may be a party that is not waived by the required lenders or holders, and the remedies sought by the holders of such indebtedness could make us unable to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and substantially decrease the market value of the Notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such future additional indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing such future additional indebtedness, we could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, the lenders of other debt we may incur in the future could elect to terminate their commitments, cease making further loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If we are unable to repay debt, lenders having secured obligations could proceed against the collateral securing the debt. Because any future credit facilities likely will have customary cross-default provisions, if the indebtedness under any future credit facility is accelerated, we may be unable to repay or finance the amounts due.

We may choose to redeem the Notes when prevailing interest rates are relatively low.

On or after September 23, 2018, we may choose to redeem the Notes from time to time, especially when prevailing interest rates are lower than the interest rate on the Notes. If prevailing rates are lower at the time of redemption, you may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the Notes

151

Table of Contents

being redeemed. Our redemption right also may adversely impact your ability to sell the Notes as the optional redemption date or period approaches.

Pending legislation may allow us to incur additional leverage.

As a BDC, under the 1940 Act we generally are not permitted to incur indebtedness unless immediately after such borrowing we have an asset coverage for total borrowings of at least 200% (i.e., the amount of debt may not exceed 50% of the value of our assets). If legislation previously introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives is passed, or similar legislation is introduced, it would modify this section of the 1940 Act and increase the amount of debt that BDCs may incur by modifying the asset coverage percentage from 200% to 150%. As a result, we may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future and therefore your risk of an investment in us may increase.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

In connection with the acquisition of Premier Payments LLC, the Company issued 130,959 restricted common shares to Jeffrey Rubin, a related party, in a private transaction as a portion of the consideration, as discussed herein.
