The good news - HCAP's NAV fell by only a penny. There were still significant portfolio losses - but TII jumped big.

Harvest Capital Credit Corporation reported Q4-15 Total Investment Income of $6.574 million ($1.0495/share); Net Investment Income of $3.395 million ($0.5420/share); and a Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations of $2.095 million ($0.3345/share) due to $1.301 million in realized and unrealized losses. The Net asset value per share was $14.26 compared to $14.27 last quarter. HCAP had its initial public offering on 5-03-13 at a price of $15.00. HCAP has paid $3.465 in dividends over that time period. On 3-15-16 HCAP closed at $10.59.

Income quality: For 2015 HCAP had $20.327 million in TII. Of that amount, 81% (16.510) was in cash interest income; 1.2% (0.253) was in fees (HCAP had 0.187 in non-cash amendment fees that may be a component of the fee income); 5.4% (1.092 million) was in PIK and 12.2% (2.472 million) was in amortizations. HCAP collected $0.860 million in PIK income - and that number may or may not be needed to be added to cash income to arrive at an adjusted cash interest amount.

(Question: A BDC is charged an amount of the unused portion of its line of credit for its credit facility. The ability to access funds at a moments notice has a value - and they are changed for that ability. And BDCs also offer lines of credit to their portfolio companies. I have never seen a 'line of credit' income line on a BDC earnings release. My question is - "is line of credit income FEE income or INTEREST income -- and if it is interest income, how does that impact the portfolio weighted average yield?")

The $0.900 million loan on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2015 comprised approximately 1.1% of the portfolio at cost and 0.9% at fair value.

Summary: Great quarter. I hate CLOs - but at least the weighting is tiny. Buy the baby bond - not the equity.
