NOTE 10 – UNCONSOLIDATED SIGNIFICANT SUBSIDIARIES

The Company’s investments are primarily in private small and lower middle-market companies. In accordance with Rules 3.09 and 4.08(g) of Regulation S-X, the Company must determine which of its unconsolidated controlled portfolio companies are considered “significant subsidiaries”, if any. On May 21, 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rule amendments to be effective on January 1, 2021. Under the new rules, a new definition of “significant subsidiary” was adopted.

In evaluating these investments, there are now two tests utilized to determine if any of the Company’s control investments are considered significant subsidiaries; the investment and the income significant tests. The asset significant test was eliminated under the new rules. Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, as interpreted by the SEC, requires the Company to include separate audited financial statements of any unconsolidated majority-owned subsidiary in this filing if the subsidiary investment value exceeds 20% of the Company’s total investments at fair value, the income from the subsidiary investment exceeds 80% of the Company’s change in net assets resulting from operations, or the income from the subsidiary investment exceeds 20% of the Company’s change in net assets resulting from operations and the subsidiary investment value exceeds 5% of the Company’s total investments at fair value. Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X requires summarized financial information of an unconsolidated subsidiary where the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities or is otherwise controlled by the Company in this filing if it does not qualify under Rule 3.09 of Regulation S-X and if the subsidiary investment value exceeds 10% of the Company’s total investments at fair value, the income from the subsidiary investment exceeds 80% of the Company’s change in net assets resulting from operations, or the income from the subsidiary investment exceeds 10% of the Company’s change in net assets resulting from operations and the subsidiary investment value exceeds 5% of the Company’s total investments at fair value.
