During the first quarter of 2013, OFS Capital closed senior secured debt investments of $7.7 million at par in two new portfolio companies, and it funded a capital call of approximately $2.6 million into the Tamarix Capital SBIC fund. The SBIC fund closed two investments in one new portfolio company, consisting of a second lien debt investment with a face amount of $3.6 million and a $0.4 million equity investment.

The total fair value of OFS Capital’s investment portfolio was $228.8 million as of March 31, 2013, including a total of $221.2 million in senior secured debt investments in 57 portfolio companies held in the OFS Capital WM senior loan vehicle (with a 7.43% weighted average yield to fair value), as well as a $7.5 million fair value for the Company’s 67.5% limited partnership interest in the SBIC.

As of March 31, 2013, the investment portfolio held by the SBIC consisted of outstanding loans of $21.9 million in aggregate principal amount, and equity investments of $3.5 million at fair value.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Investment income

Total investment income was $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with $0.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in total investment income was attributable primarily to the Company’s consolidation of the statement of operations of OFS Capital WM, which became effective April 1, 2012.

Total expenses

Total expenses were $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with $0.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was attributable primarily to the Company’s consolidation of the statement of operations of OFS Capital WM, which became effective April 1, 2012.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income was $1.4 million and $0.2 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, with the $1.2 million increase attributable primarily to the Company’s consolidation of the statement of operations of OFS Capital WM beginning April 1, 2012.

Net realized and unrealized gain on investments

Net realized and unrealized gain on investments totaled $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, comprised primarily of $1.2 million in net change in unrealized depreciation on non-affiliate investments (i.e., investment assets in the OFS Capital WM senior loan vehicle) and $0.2 million in net change in unrealized depreciation on affiliate investments (the Company’s limited partnership interest in the SBIC fund). Because the Company did not consolidate the statement of operations of OFS Capital WM prior to April 1, 2012 and the Company’s other debt and equity investments as of March 31, 2012 were carried on a cost basis (rather than fair value basis), the Company did not reflect any realized or unrealized gain (or loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Other income prior to becoming a business development company

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, OFS Capital had $2.6 million in other income prior to becoming a BDC, comprised of $2.6 million in income from equity interest in OFS Capital WM prior to the consolidation of that entity’s operations into the Company’s consolidated statements of operation effective April 1, 2012.

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as well as for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and OFS Capital’s NAV was $14.76 per share at March 31, 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2013, OFS Capital had $12.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $97.2 million in debt outstanding, and $34.9 million in borrowing availability on its revolving credit facility.
