NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(in millions, except per share data)

 

Note 1. Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Interim consolidated financial statements of American Capital Strategies, Ltd. (which is referred throughout this report as “American Capital”, the “Company”, “we” and “us”) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods have been included. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Note 2. Organization

 

We are a non-diversified closed end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). We operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) as defined in Subtitle A, Chapter 1, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a BDC, we invest in and sponsor management and employee buyouts, invest in private equity sponsored buyouts, provide capital directly to early stage and mature private and small public companies, invest in commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”) and collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) securities and invest in investment funds managed by us. We are also a publicly traded alternative asset manager. Our primary business objectives are to increase our taxable income, net operating income and net asset value by investing in senior debt, subordinated debt and equity of private and public companies with attractive current yields and/or potential for equity appreciation and realized gains and by investing in our alternative asset manager business.

 

We are the parent and sole shareholder of American Capital Financial Services, Inc. (“ACFS”) and through ACFS provide advisory, management and other services to businesses, principally our portfolio companies. We are also the parent and sole shareholder of European Capital Financial Services (Guernsey) Limited (“ECFS”), a company incorporated in Guernsey. ECFS is the sole shareholder of European Capital Financial Services Limited, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom. These companies provide fund management services to a European investment fund, which is one of our portfolio companies.

 

We are headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, and have offices in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Dallas, Palo Alto, London, Paris and Frankfurt.

 

Note 3. Consolidation

 

Under the investment company rules and regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company. An exception to this general principle occurs if the investment company has an investment in a controlled operating company that provides services to the investment company. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of controlled operating companies if all or substantially all of the services provided by these operating companies are to us or to portfolio companies in which we have a

 

41

(in millions, except per share data)

 

significant interest. ACFS and ECFS are consolidated operating companies as they are considered to provide all or substantially all of their services to American Capital. If our ownership interest in a portfolio company that a consolidated operating company manages or provides services to were to decrease, the operating subsidiary may no longer provide substantially all of its services directly or indirectly to us, resulting in the deconsolidation of such operating subsidiary at that time. Our investments in other investment companies or funds are recorded as investments in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and are not consolidated.

 

We also have wholly-owned affiliated statutory trusts that were established to facilitate secured borrowing arrangements whereby assets were transferred to the affiliated statutory trusts and notes were sold by the trust. These transfers of assets to the trusts are treated as secured borrowing arrangements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, and our interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our affiliated statutory trusts established for secured financing arrangements. We also have established trusts to fund deferred compensation plans for employees. Our interim consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of these trusts. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Note 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. However, it is possible that the application of this statement will change current practice with respect to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value option established by this statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. We did not early adopt SFAS No. 159. Management has not assessed the impact on our financial statements of adopting SFAS No. 159.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 also provides guidance regarding the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We did not early adopt SFAS No. 157.

 

We adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial

statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. In May 2007, the FASB issued Staff Position, FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FSP FIN 48-1”), which provides guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective with the initial adoption of FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 5. Investments

 

Investments are carried at fair value, as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Unrestricted securities that are publicly traded are valued at the closing price on the valuation date. For debt and equity securities of companies that are not publicly traded, or for which we have various degrees of trading restrictions, we prepare an analysis consisting of traditional valuation methodologies to estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, including an investment company that is a portfolio company, issuing the securities. The methodologies consist of valuation estimates based on: valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets, third party valuations of the portfolio company, third party sale offers, potential strategic buyer analysis and the value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. We weight some or all of the above valuation methods in order to conclude on our estimate of value. In valuing convertible debt, equity or other securities, we value our equity investment based on our pro rata share of the residual equity value available after deducting all outstanding debt from the estimated enterprise value. We value non-convertible debt securities at cost plus amortized original issue discount (“OID”) to the extent that the estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company exceeds the outstanding debt of the portfolio company. If the estimated enterprise value is less than the outstanding debt of the company, we reduce the value of our debt investment beginning with the junior most debt such that the enterprise value less the value of the outstanding debt is zero. If there is sufficient enterprise value to cover the face amount of a debt security that has been discounted due to detachable equity warrants received with that security, that detachable equity warrant will be valued such that the sum of the discounted debt security and the detachable equity warrant equal the face value of the debt security.

 

As required by the 1940 Act, we classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are investments in those companies that we are deemed to “Control”. “Affiliate Investments” are investments in those companies that are “Affiliated Companies” of us, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than Control Investments. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments. Generally, under the 1940 Act, we are deemed to control a company in which we have invested if we own more than 25% of the voting securities of such company or have greater than 50% representation on its board. We are deemed to be an affiliate of a company in which we have invested if we own between 5% and 25% of the voting securities of such company.

 

Investments consist of securities issued by publicly- and privately-held companies consisting of senior debt, subordinated debt, equity warrants, preferred and common equity securities and derivative agreements. Our debt securities are payable in installments with final maturities ranging generally from 5 to 10 years and are generally collateralized by assets of the borrower. We also make investments in securities that do not produce current income. These investments typically consist of equity warrants, common equity and preferred equity and are identified in the accompanying consolidated schedule of investments. We also invest in non-investment grade CMBS and CDO securities.

As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, loans on non-accrual status were $208 million and $183 million, respectively, calculated as the cost plus unamortized OID. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, loans, excluding loans on non-accrual status, with a principal balance of $11 and $12 million, respectively, were greater than three months past due.

 

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. OID is accreted into interest income using the effective interest method. OID initially represents the value of detachable equity warrants obtained in conjunction with the acquisition of debt securities and loan origination fees that represent yield enhancement. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date for common equity securities and on an accrual basis for preferred equity securities to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected or realized. In determining the amount of dividend income to recognize, if any, from cash distributions on common equity securities, we will assess many factors including a portfolio company’s cumulative undistributed income and operating cash flow. Cash distributions from common equity securities received in excess of such undistributed amounts are recorded first as a reduction of our investment and then as a realized gain on investment. We stop accruing interest or dividends on our investments when it is determined that the interest or dividend is not collectible. We assess the collectibility of the interest and dividends based on many factors including the portfolio company’s ability to service our loan based on current and projected cash flows as well as the current valuation of the enterprise. For investments with payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and dividends, we base income and dividend accruals on the valuation of the PIK notes or securities received from the borrower. If the portfolio company valuation indicates a value of the PIK notes or securities that is not sufficient to cover the contractual interest or dividend, we will not accrue interest or dividend income on the notes or securities. For CMBS and CDO securities, we recognize income using the effective interest method, using the anticipated yield over the projected life of the investment.

 

The composition summaries of our investment portfolio as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 at cost and fair value as a percentage of total investments, excluding derivative agreements, are shown in the following table:

Note 8. Segment Data

 

Reportable segments are identified by management based on our organizational structure and the business activities from which we earn income. We have determined that we have two primary lines of business: Investing and Asset Management and Advisory.

 

We derive the majority of our income and net operating income from our Investing segment, which primarily invests in senior and subordinated debt and equity of private and public companies with attractive current yields and/or potential for equity appreciation and realized gains. Our Asset Management and Advisory segment provides management services to our portfolio company investments and our alternative asset funds, which is conducted through our consolidated operating subsidiaries and certain of our wholly-owned portfolio companies. The results for this segment also include the realized gains and unrealized appreciation of such wholly-owned portfolio companies.

Note 9. Commitments

 

As of March 31, 2007, we had commitments under loan and financing agreements to fund up to $383 million to 58 portfolio companies. These commitments are primarily composed of working capital credit facilities, acquisition credit facilities and subscription agreements. The commitments are generally subject to the borrowers meeting certain criteria. The terms of the borrowings and financings subject to commitment are comparable to the terms of other debt and equity securities in our portfolio.

 

Note 10. Income Taxes

 

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an uncertain tax position is required to meet before tax benefits associated with such uncertain tax position are recognized in the financial statements. Our adoption of FIN 48 did not require a cumulative effect adjustment to the January 1, 2007 undistributed net realized earnings. We classify interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of (benefit) provision for income taxes.

 

Based on our analysis of our tax position, we concluded that we did not have any uncertain tax positions that met this recognition or measurement criteria of FIN 48. We did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 or March 31, 2007.

 

Although we file federal, state and foreign tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal for our parent RIC (“ACAS”) and ACFS. The 2002 through 2005 federal tax years for ACAS and ACFS remain subject to examination by the IRS.

In January 2007, we entered into forward sale agreements (the “January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements”) to purchase 2.0 million shares of common stock. The 2.0 million shares of common stock were borrowed from third-party market sources by the counterparties, or forward purchasers, of the January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements who then sold the shares to the public. Pursuant to the January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements, we must sell to the forward purchasers 2.0 million shares of our common stock generally at such times as we elect over a one-year period. The January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements provide for settlement date or dates to be specified at our discretion within the duration of the January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements through termination in January 2008. On a settlement date, we will issue shares of our common stock to the applicable forward purchaser at the then applicable forward sale price. The forward sale price was initially $44.11 per share, which was the public offering price of shares of our common stock less the underwriting discount. The January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements provide that the initial forward sale price per share will be subject to daily adjustment based on a floating interest factor equal to the federal funds rate, less a spread, and will be subject to a decrease by $0.89, $0.91, $0.92, and $0.96 on each of March 2, 2007, June 1, 2007, September 7, 2007 and December 7, 2007, respectively. The forward sale price will also be subject to decrease if the cost to the forward purchasers of borrowing our common stock exceeds a specified amount. The January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements are considered equity instruments that are initially measured at a fair value of zero and reported in permanent equity. As of March 31, 2007, there are 2.0 million shares available under the January 2007 Forward Sales Agreements at a forward price of $43.70.

 

In March 2007, we entered into forward sale agreements (the “March 2007 Forward Sale Agreements”) to purchase 6.0 million shares of common stock. The 6.0 million shares of common stock were borrowed from third-party market sources by the counterparties, or forward purchasers, of the March 2007 Forward Sale Agreements who then sold the shares to the public. Pursuant to the March 2007 Forward Sale Agreements, we must sell to the forward purchasers 6.0 million shares of our common stock generally at such times as we elect over a one-year period. The March 2007 Forward Sale Agreements provide for settlement date or dates to be specified at our discretion within the duration of the March 2007 Forward Sale Agreements through termination

in March 2008. On a settlement date, we will issue shares of our common stock to the applicable forward purchaser at the then applicable forward sale price. The forward sale price was initially $43.03 per share, which was the public offering price of shares of our common stock less the underwriting discount. The March 2007 Forward Sale Agreements provide that the initial forward sale price per share will be subject to daily adjustment based on a floating interest factor equal to the federal funds rate, less a spread, and will be subject to a decrease by $0.91, $0.92, $0.96, and $0.98 on each of June 11, 2007, September 7, 2007, December 7, 2007 and March 7, 2008, respectively. The forward sale price will also be subject to decrease if the cost to the forward purchasers of borrowing our common stock exceeds a specified amount. The March 2007 Forward Sale Agreements are considered equity instruments that are initially measured at a fair value of zero and reported in permanent equity. As of March 31, 2007, there are 6.0 million shares available under the March 2007 Forward Sales Agreements at a forward price of $43.06.

 

Note 12. Investment in European Capital Limited

 

On September 30, 2005, European Capital Limited (“ECAS”), a company incorporated in Guernsey, closed on an offering of €750 million of equity commitments. We provided €521 million of the equity commitments and third party institutional investors provided €229 million of the remaining equity commitments. ECAS, through its subsidiary, European Capital S.A. SICAR (“ECAS SICAR”), invests in and sponsors management and employee buyouts, invests in private equity buyouts and provides capital directly to private and public companies primarily in Europe. As of December 31, 2006, we had fully funded our equity commitment in the amount of €521 million ($654 million). Our total investment in ECAS at fair value as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 of $759 million and $751 million, respectively, is included as a portfolio investment in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had a receivable of $15 million and $20 million, respectively, due from ECAS for a €0.21 first quarter 2007 dividend and a €0.29 fourth quarter 2006 dividend, which is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Our wholly-owned subsidiary ECFS, entered into a services agreement with ECAS and an investment management agreement with ECAS SICAR. Pursuant to the investment management agreement and services agreement, we provide investment advisory and management services to ECAS SICAR and received a base management fee equal to 1.25% of the greater of ECAS SICAR’s weighted average gross assets or €750 million. In addition, ECAS SICAR and ECAS had reimbursed us for all costs and expenses incurred by ECFS during the term of the agreement, subject to certain exclusions, including all cost and expenses incurred by us and ECFS for the organization and formation of ECAS SICAR, ECAS and ECFS. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $15 million and $8 million of revenue from these agreements, respectively, consisting of $5 million and $3 million, respectively, of management fees and $10 million and $5 million, respectively, for reimbursements of costs and expenses. As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, we had a receivable of $5 million and $4 million, respectively, due from ECAS SICAR and ECAS for management fees and reimbursements of costs and expenses, which is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Also pursuant to the investment management agreement, ECFS received a warrant to purchase 18.75 million participating preferred shares of ECAS representing 20% of ECAS’ participating preferred shares on a fully-diluted basis. The initial exercise price of the warrants was €10 per share, which was the same per share price that the original investors purchased their participating preferred shares in the initial offering. The per share exercise price on the warrants has been reduced by dividends declared on the participating preferred shares and will be reduced to reflect the amount of any future dividends declared on the participating preferred shares. As of March 31, 2007, the exercise price of the warrants was €9.50 per share. In the event that ECAS issues additional participating preferred shares, ECFS would receive additional warrants to purchase participating preferred shares

in ECAS so that at all times the warrants issued to ECFS as manager are not less than 20% of ECAS’ participating preferred shares on a fully-diluted basis. In the event that ECAS undertakes an initial public offering and legal requirements effectively prevent ECAS from being able to issue additional warrants to ECFS, then ECAS will pay ECFS an incentive management fee in cash. The incentive management fee would be subject to a cumulative hurdle rate of 2% per quarter of ECAS SICAR’s pre-incentive fee net income as a return on quarterly average net asset value, determined on a cumulative basis through the end of quarter. The incentive management fee, if any, would be earned and payable as follows: (i) no incentive management fee in any calendar quarter in which ECAS SICAR’s pre-incentive fee net income does not exceed the cumulative hurdle rate or (ii) 100% of the amount of ECAS SICAR’s pre-incentive management fee net income, if any, that exceeds the cumulative hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% per quarter, plus 20% of the amount of ECAS SICAR’s pre-incentive fee net income, if any, that is equal to or exceeds 2.5%.

 

Note 13. Subsequent Events

 

Securitization

 

In April 2007, we completed a $600 million asset securitization. In connection with the transaction, ACAS

Business Loan Trust 2007-1 (“BLT 2007-1”), an indirect consolidated subsidiary, issued $351 million Class A notes, $45 million Class B notes, $81 million Class C notes, $45 million Class D notes and $78 million Class E notes (collectively, the “2007-1 Notes”). The Class A notes, Class B notes, Class C notes and $15 million of the Class D notes were sold to institutional investors and $30 million of the Class D notes and all the Class E notes were retained by us. The 2007-1 Notes are secured by loans originated or acquired by us and sold to our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, BLT 2007-1. Through November 2007, BLT 2007-1 may also generally use principal collections from the underlying loan pool to purchase additional loans to secure the 2007-1 Notes. After such time, principal payments on the 2007-1 Notes will generally be applied pro rata to each class of 2007-1 Notes outstanding until the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the loan pool is less than $300 million or the occurrence of certain other events. Payments will then be applied sequentially to the Class A notes, the Class B notes, the Class C notes, the Class D notes and the Class E notes. Subject to continuing compliance with certain conditions, we will remain as servicer of the loans. The Class A notes have an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 14 basis points, the Class B notes have an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 31 basis points, the Class C notes have an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 85 basis points, the Class D notes have an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 185 basis points and the Class E notes retained by us do not have an interest rate. The loans are secured by loans and assets from our portfolio companies with a principal balance of approximately $600 million. The 2007-1 Notes contain customary default provisions and mature in August 2019 unless redeemed or repaid prior to such date.

 

European Capital Limited Initial Public Offering

 

On May 10, 2007, ECAS closed on an initial public offering (“IPO”) of ordinary shares and the ordinary shares, were admitted to the Official List of the U.K. Financial Services Authority and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ECAS.” The offering comprised 12.7 million newly issued ordinary shares at a price of €9.84 per ordinary share, for gross proceeds of approximately €125 million. The 12.7 million new ordinary shares represented approximately 12% of the outstanding ordinary shares following completion of the IPO. ECAS granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 1.9 million ordinary shares at a price of €9.84 per ordinary share.

 

As of March 31, 2007, American Capital’s investment in ECAS consisted of 52.1 million participating preferred shares and warrants held by ECFS to purchase 18.75 million participating preferred shares. Prior to the IPO, ECFS exercised its warrant to purchase 18.75 million participating preferred shares for an exercise price of

 

53


Table of Contents

AMERICAN CAPITAL STRATEGIES, LTD.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(unaudited)

(in millions, except per share data)

 

€9.50 per share, or €178 million ($242 million), and assigned the shares to American Capital. As a result of the IPO, the warrant agreement was terminated, and ECFS will not receive any future warrants. Our 18.75 million participating preferred shares received upon exercise of the warrant and our existing 52.1 million participating preferred shares were redesignated as ordinary shares as part of the capital reorganization that took effect upon the closing of the IPO. Subsequent to the IPO, American Capital owns 70.8 million ordinary shares, or a 67% ownership, of ECAS.

 

As of March 31, 2007, our investment in ECAS had a cost of $654 million and fair value of $759 million. The fair value of ECAS as of March 31, 2007 was valued by us based on ECAS being a privately held controlled company in accordance with our established valuation methodologies (see Note 5). If we were to determine the cost basis and fair value of our investment in ECAS as of the date of the IPO at the IPO price of €9.84 per ordinary share, including the increase in our cost basis as a result of the exercise of our warrants, our cost would be $896 million and our fair value would be $947 million.

 

The investment manager of ECAS is ECFS, our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary. Due to the dilution of our ownership interest in ECAS as a result of the IPO, ECFS will no longer be considered to be providing substantially all of its services directly or indirectly to American Capital or its portfolio companies, which will result in the deconsolidation of ECFS during the quarter ended June 30, 2007. As a result of its deconsolidation for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, ECFS will then be treated as a portfolio company investment and carried at fair value on our balance sheet. The deconsolidation of ECFS will be considered a change in reporting entity and will be accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.

 

In addition, as part of the IPO, ECFS’ existing investment management agreement with ECAS SICAR was terminated resulting in a termination fee payment to ECFS of €10 million. In addition, ECFS’ existing services agreement with ECAS was terminated, and ECFS entered into a new investment management agreement with ECAS and ECAS SICAR to provide investment advisory and management services. ECFS will receive an annual management fee equal to 2% of the weighted average monthly consolidated gross asset value of all investments of ECAS, an incentive fee equal to 100% of the net earnings in excess of a return of 8% but less than a return of 10% and 20% of the net earnings thereafter, and certain expense reimbursements not to exceed a cap of 0.25% per year of the weighted average monthly consolidated gross asset value of all investments of ECAS.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

All statements contained herein that are not historical facts including, but not limited to, statements regarding anticipated activity are forward looking in nature and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: (i) changes in the economic conditions in which we operate negatively impacting our financial resources; (ii) certain of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources than us reducing the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us or reducing the yield necessary to consummate the investment; (iii) there is uncertainty regarding the value of our privately held securities that require our good faith estimate of fair value, and a change in estimate could affect our net asset value; (iv) our investments in securities of privately held companies may be illiquid which could affect our ability to realize a gain; (v) our portfolio companies could default on their loans or provide no returns on our investments which could affect our operating results; (vi) we are dependent on external financing to grow our business; (vii) our ability to retain key management personnel; (viii) an economic downturn or recession could impair our portfolio companies and therefore harm our operating results; (ix) our borrowing arrangements impose certain restrictions; (x) changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and net operating income; (xi) we cannot incur additional indebtedness unless we maintain an asset coverage of at least 200%, which may affect returns to our stockholder; (xii) we may fail to continue to qualify for our pass-through treatment as a RIC, which could have an affect on stockholder return; (xiii) our common stock price may be volatile; (xiv) our strategy of becoming an asset manager of funds of private assets may not be successful and therefore have a negative impact on our results of operation; and (xv) general business and economic conditions and other risk factors described in our reports filed from time to time with the SEC. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made.

 

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

 

American Capital Fund

 

We are a publicly traded buyout and mezzanine fund that provides investment capital to middle market companies. We invest primarily in senior and subordinated debt and equity of companies in need of capital for buyouts, growth, acquisitions and recapitalizations. We also invest in non-investment grade CMBS and CDO securities. The total portfolio value of our investments was $8.7 billion and $8.1 billion as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. During the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we made new investments totaling $1.1 billion and $0.7 billion, including $0.4 billion and $0.1 billion, respectively, in funds committed but undrawn under credit facilities and subscription agreements at the date of the investment. The weighted average effective interest rate on our debt securities was 12.3% at both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

 

We invest in and sponsor management and employee buyouts, invest in private equity sponsored buyouts, provide capital directly to early stage and mature private and small public companies, invest in CMBS and CDO securities and invest in investment funds managed by us. We provide senior debt, mezzanine debt and equity to fund buyouts, growth, acquisitions and recapitalizations. We also provide capital directly to private and small public companies for buyouts, growth, acquisitions and recapitalizations.

 

We seek to be a long-term partner with our portfolio companies. As a long-term partner, we will invest capital in a portfolio company subsequent to our initial investment if we believe that it can achieve appropriate returns for our investment. Add-on financings fund (i) strategic acquisitions by the portfolio company of either a complete business or specific lines of a business that are related to the portfolio company’s business, (ii) recapitalization at the portfolio company, (iii) growth at the portfolio company such as product development

Public Manager of Funds of Alternative Assets

 

We are a leading global alternative asset manager of third party funds. In addition to managing American Capital’s assets and providing management services to portfolio companies of American Capital, we also manage European Capital Limited (“ECAS”), American Capital Equity I, LLC (“ACE I”) and ACAS CLO 2007-1, Ltd. (“ACAS CLO”). We manage these funds either through consolidated operating subsidiaries or wholly-owned portfolio companies. We refer to the asset management business throughout this report to include the asset management activities conducted by both our consolidated operating subsidiaries and our wholly-owned asset management portfolio companies.

 

As of March 31, 2007, our assets under management totaled $10.8 billion, including $2.9 billion under management in the above third party funds. As of March 31, 2007, our capital resources under management totaled $12.0 billion, including $3.2 billion under management in the above third party funds.

 

Through our asset management business, we earn base management fees based on the size of our funds and incentive income based on the performance of our funds. In addition, we may invest directly into our alternative asset funds and earn investment income from our investments in those funds. We intend to grow our existing funds, while continuing to create innovative products to meet the increasing demand of sophisticated investors for superior risk-adjusted investment returns.

ECAS, a fund incorporated in Guernsey, was initially a private equity fund established in 2005 that invests in and sponsors management and employee buyouts, invests in private equity buyouts and provides capital directly to private and mid-sized public companies primarily in Europe. Our wholly-owned consolidated operating subsidiary, European Capital Financial Services (Guernsey) Limited (“ECFS”) manages ECAS. On May 10, 2007, ECAS closed on an initial public offering (“IPO”) of ordinary shares and the ordinary shares, were admitted to the Official List of the U.K. Financial Services Authority and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ECAS.” In addition, as part of the IPO, ECFS’ existing investment management agreement with ECAS SICAR was terminated resulting in a termination fee payment to ECFS of €10 million. In addition, ECFS’ existing services agreement with ECAS was terminated, and ECFS entered into a new investment management agreement with ECAS and ECAS SICAR to provide investment advisory and management services. ECFS will receive an annual management fee equal to 2% of the weighted average monthly consolidated gross asset value of all investments of ECAS, an incentive fee equal to 100% of the net earnings in excess of a return of 8% but less than a return of 10% and 20% of the net earnings thereafter, and certain expense reimbursements not to exceed a cap of 0.25% per year of the weighted average monthly consolidated gross asset value of all investments of ECAS.

 

ACE I is a private equity fund with $1 billion of equity commitments established in 2006. ACE I co-invests with American Capital in an amount equal to 30% of our future equity investments until the remaining commitment is exhausted. As of March 31, 2007, ACE I had $143 million of unfunded equity commitments outstanding. American Capital Equity Management, LLC (“ACEM”), a wholly-owned portfolio company, manages ACE I in exchange for a 2% base management fee on the net cost basis of ACE I and a 10% to 30% carried interest in the net profits of ACE I, subject to certain hurdles.

 

ACAS CLO, a fund that was established in 2006, invests in middle market senior loans. ACAS CLO was initially in a “warehouse stage” and completed a $400 million securitization in April 2007. American Capital Asset Management, LLC (“ACAM”), a wholly-owned portfolio company, is the manager of ACAS CLO. ACAM earns a base management fee of 0.68% of ACAS CLO’s assets and a 20% carried interest in the net profits of ACAS CLO, subject to certain hurdles.

 

We consolidate a controlled company that manages a fund if it is determined that all or substantially all of the services being provided to the fund are also being indirectly provided to American Capital through our ownership interest in the fund. We do not consolidate a controlled company that manages a fund if it does not provide all or substantially all of its services directly or indirectly to American Capital. If we have wholly-owned management portfolio companies, we would expect that these portfolio companies would pay dividends to us each quarter to the extent of their earnings, if any. American Capital employees provide the services to these wholly-owned management portfolio companies to enable them to carry out their asset management responsibilities in return for a fee based on the cost of the services provided.

 

We expect to continue to develop our asset management business as a publicly traded manager of funds of alternative assets. Our corporate development team and marketing department conduct market research and due diligence to identify industry and geographic sectors of alternative assets that have attractive investment attributes and where we can create an alternative asset fund with attractive return prospects. In addition to alternative asset funds focused on a specific industry or geographic location, we will also identify potential alternative asset funds that will investment in a specific security type such as first lien debt, second lien debt, real estate loans or equity securities. We would expect to enter into asset management agreements with the alternative asset fund either by a wholly-owned consolidated operating subsidiary or a wholly-owned portfolio company.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our consolidated financial performance, as reflected in our interim consolidated statements of operations, consists of three primary elements. The first element is “Net operating income,” which is primarily the interest, dividends and prepayment fees earned from investing in debt and equity securities and the fees we earn from

Table of Contents

portfolio company management, asset management, financing and transaction structuring activities, less our operating expenses and provision for income taxes. The second element is “Net realized gain (loss) on investments,” which reflects the difference between the proceeds from an exit of an investment and the cost at which the investment was carried on our consolidated balance sheets and periodic settlements of derivatives. The third element is “Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments,” which is the net change in the estimated fair values of our investments and the change in the estimated fair value of the future payment streams of our interest rate derivatives, at the end of the period compared with their estimated fair values at the beginning of the period or their stated costs, as appropriate. Our net realized earnings comprises our net operating income and net realized gain (loss) on investments.

Table of Contents

Interest income on debt securities increased by $51 million, or 46%, primarily due to an increase in our debt investments, which was partially offset by a decline in the daily weighted average effective interest rate on our debt investments. Dividend income on equity securities increased by $21 million, or 111%, primarily due to an increase in our equity investments. The following table summarizes selected data for our debt and equity investments, at cost, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in millions):

Daily weighted average effective yield on debt and equity investments, including interest rate swaps

     10.2 %     10.0 %

 

The daily weighted average effective interest rate on debt investments, including CMBS, for the first quarter of 2007 decreased 80 basis points to 12.0%, excluding swaps, due primarily to an (i) increase in our investment in CMBS securities, (ii) an increase in total senior loans which generally have lower rates than subordinated loans, as a percentage of our total loan portfolio, (iii) and a contraction of the spreads over LIBOR for our new loan originations due to increased competition in the marketplace. Our overall effective interest rate on our CMBS investments is lower than our overall effective interest rate on our total senior and subordinated loans to our portfolio companies.

 

Including the impact of interest rate swaps, our daily average effective interest rate on debt investments decreased 50 basis points to 12.2%. We attempt to match-fund our liabilities and assets by financing floating rate assets with floating rate liabilities and fixed rate assets with fixed rate liabilities or equity. We enter into interest rate swap agreements to match the interest rate basis of our assets and liabilities, thereby locking in the spread between our asset yield and the cost of our borrowings, and to fulfill our obligations under the terms of our revolving debt funding facilities and asset securitizations. Our derivatives are considered economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB Statement No. 133. Under GAAP, we record the accrual of the periodic interest settlements of interest rate derivatives in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and subsequently record the amount as a net realized gain (loss) on investments on the interest settlement date. In the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, the total interest benefit (cost) of interest rate derivative agreements included in both net realized gain (loss) on investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments was $2 million and $(1) million, respectively. The decrease in our interest cost of interest rate derivative agreements is due primarily to the increase in the average monthly one-month LIBOR rate.

 

The daily weighted average yield on total debt and equity investments, excluding interest rate swaps, increased 10 basis points in the first quarter 2007, to 10.1% primarily due to increases in dividend income from common equity securities, partially offset by the decrease in the daily weighted average effective interest rate on debt investments discussed above. Including the impact of swaps, our daily weighted average yield on total debt and equity investments increased 20 basis points to 10.2% in the first quarter of 2007. In the first quarter of 2007, we accrued a $15 million dividend from our common equity investment in ECAS.  In addition, during the first quarter of 2007, we received a dividend of $2 million from our wholly-owned fund manager portfolio company, American Capital Equity Management, LLC, which is the manager of ACE I.

Asset management fees and reimbursements primarily represent fees recognized for providing advisory and management services to ECAS pursuant to investment management and services agreements. In connection with these agreements with ECAS, we recognized $5 million of management fees and $10 million for reimbursements of costs and expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2007 for salaries, employee benefits and general and administrative expenses compared to $3 million for management fees and $5 million for reimbursements of costs and expenses in the comparable period in 2006.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded $3 million in transaction structuring fees for four American Capital sponsored buyout investments totaling $459 million of American Capital financing. In the same period in 2006, we recorded $11 million in transaction structuring fees for six buyout investments and one add-on financings for acquisitions totaling $524 million of American Capital financing. The transaction structuring fees were 0.7% and 2.1% of American Capital financing in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

Loan financing fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased $3 million, or 100%, over the comparable period in 2006. The increase in the loan financing fees was attributable to an increase in new debt investments from $349 million in first quarter of 2006 to $690 million in the first quarter of 2007. The loan financing fees were 0.9% and 1.0% of loan originations in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Loan fees we receive that are representative of additional yield are deferred as a discount and accreted into interest income and are not recorded as fee income.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased $64 million, or 86%, over the comparable period in 2006. Our operating leverage was 2.1% for the both three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Operating leverage is our annualized operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, interest expense and operating expenses reimbursed under management agreements, divided by our total assets at period end.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased from $36 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $62 million in the comparable period in 2007. The increase in interest expense is due both to an increase in our weighted average borrowings from $2,431 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $4,011 million in the comparable period in 2007 and to an increase in our weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings, including amortization of deferred financing costs, from 5.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2006 to

 

60


Table of Contents

6.2% during the comparable period in 2007. The increase in the weighted average interest rate is primarily due to an increase in the average monthly one-month LIBOR rate from 4.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2006 to 5.3% in the comparable period in 2007.

 

Salaries, Benefits and Stock-based Compensation

 

Salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense increased 122% from $23 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $51 million in the comparable period in 2007. Salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation consisted of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):

Total salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation

   $ 51    $ 23
    

  

 

The total increase is primarily due to (i) an increase in employees, (ii) annual salary rate increases, and (iii) additional stock-based compensation primarily from our incentive bonus plan. Our number of employees increased 50% from 359 at March 31, 2006 to 538 at March 31, 2007. The increase in the number of employees is due to our growth; we have added investment professionals and administrative staff as we continue to build our investment platform and our asset management business, including the opening of new offices and expansion of existing offices. In addition, in the first quarter of 2007, we recorded additional stock-based compensation as a result of an increase in the number of estimated shares we expect to vest in 2007.

 

In 2006, we established an incentive bonus plan, which is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for the purpose of granting bonus awards to our domestic employees. Cash bonus awards under the plan are determined by our Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee and are invested in our common stock by purchasing shares of our common stock on the open market. The awards under the plan are accounted for as a grant of unvested stock. We record stock-based compensation expense based on the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant. The compensation cost for awards with service conditions is recognized using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. The compensation cost for awards with performance and service conditions is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $12 million and $1 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation related to the incentive bonus plan.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased from $15 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $25 million in the comparable period in 2007. The increase is due primarily to additional overhead attributable to the increase in the number of employees and the opening of new offices and expansion of existing offices, including higher employee recruiting costs and rent expense, as well as higher legal and board of director fees.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

We operate to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company, or a RIC, as defined in Subtitle A, Chapter 1, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Generally, a RIC is entitled to deduct dividends it pays to its shareholders from its income to determine taxable income. We have distributed and currently intend to distribute sufficient dividends to eliminate investment company taxable income. However, we are subject to a nondeductible federal excise tax of 4% on our undistributed investment company

Table of Contents

taxable income if we do not distribute at least 98% of our investment company ordinary taxable income in any calendar year, 98% of our capital gain net income for each one-year period ending on October 31 and any shortfall in distributing taxable income from the prior calendar year. As of December 31, 2006, we retained $97 million of our cumulative investment company taxable income that is subject to federal excise tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we accrued a federal excise tax of $1 million, which is included in our provision for income taxes.

 

Our consolidated taxable operating subsidiaries, ACFS and ECFS, are subject to corporate level federal, state and local income tax in their respective jurisdictions. ECFS is incorporated in Guernsey where it has received an exempt status and therefore does not pay any income tax; however, the wholly-owned subsidiary of ECFS is subject to corporate level income tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded a tax benefit of $3 million compared to a tax provision of $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 attributable to our taxable operating subsidiaries. The $2 million tax benefit recorded in 2007 as compared to the $6 million tax provision recorded in 2006 is due to a loss generated at ACFS in 2007 driven primarily by (i) increased operating expenses of ACFS in the first quarter of 2007 as a result of the additional overhead attributable to the building of our asset management platform and (ii) a decrease in transaction structuring fee income earned by ACFS as a result of structuring less buyouts in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

In the first quarter of 2006, we received full repayment of our remaining $40 million subordinated debt investment in 3SI Acquisition Holdings, Inc. and sold all of our common equity for $53 million in proceeds realizing a total gain of $27 million offset by a reversal of unrealized appreciation of $28 million. The gain that we recognized included escrowed proceeds of $4 million, which we expect to receive.

 

In the first quarter of 2006, we received full repayment of our remaining $10 million subordinated debt investment in Network for Medical Communication & Research, LLC and sold all of our common equity warrants for $22 million in proceeds realizing a total gain of $22 million offset by a reversal of unrealized appreciation of $23 million. The gain that we recognized include escrowed proceeds of $1 million, which we expect to receive.

In the first quarter of 2006, American Decorative Surfaces International, Inc. ceased business operations and a receiver was appointed to liquidate its remaining assets. As of the date the receivership was appointed, we did not expect to receive any additional proceeds from the liquidation. Our remaining subordinated debt and equity investments were deemed worthless and we recognized a realized loss of $16 million offset by the reversal of unrealized depreciation of $19 million.

 

We record the accrual of the periodic interest settlements of interest rate swaps in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and subsequently record the amount as a realized gain (loss) on investments on the interest settlement date.

 

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments

 

The net unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments is based on portfolio asset valuations determined by management and approved by our Board of Directors. The following table itemizes the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in millions):

During the first quarter of 2007, we recognized unrealized depreciation of $47 million related to our $76 million investment in ACSAB, LLC, which holds an investment in ASAlliances Biofuels, LLC. ASAlliances Biofuels, LLC is developing three large scale ethanol production facilities that it owns and will operate. Since our initial investment in February 2006, this investment has appreciated $52 million, to a fair value of $128 million as of March 31, 2007. In addition, we sold 30% of our equity investment in ACSAB, LLC in October 2006 realizing a gain of $18 million. The inception to date appreciation in this investment is driven in part by developments in the ethanol and energy markets and market comparables. In addition to the prices of ethanol, the valuation of this investment is highly dependent on the pricing of agricultural commodities, such as corn, which is a raw material used in the production of ethanol, as well as the selling prices of petroleum products, such as the prices of unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel for which ethanol is considered to be an additive and a substitute. During the first quarter of 2007, the prices of corn commodities increased, the prices of ethanol and crude oil decreased and the stock prices of comparable public companies declined which resulted in the $47 million decrease in fair value of our investment in ACSAB, LLC.

 

The fair value of the derivative agreements represents the estimated net present value of the future cash flows using a forward interest rate yield curve in effect at the end of the period. A negative fair value would represent an amount we would have to pay the other party and a positive fair value would represent an amount we would receive from the other party to terminate the agreement. They appreciate or depreciate based on relative market interest rates and their remaining term to maturity. The change in fair value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of derivative agreements. The decrease in the fair value of our derivative agreements in the three month period ended March 31, 2007 is primarily due to a decrease in the forward interest rate yield curve as well as a reversal of unrealized appreciation due to the recognition of net realized gains on interest rate periodic receipts during the quarter.

Table of Contents

We have a limited amount of investments in portfolio companies, including ECAS, for which the investment is denominated in a foreign currency, primarily the Euro. We also have other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates therefore impact our financial condition and results of operations, as reported in U.S. dollars. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the foreign currency translation adjustment recorded in our interim consolidated statements of operations was unrealized appreciation of $8 million, primarily as a result of the Euro appreciating against the U.S. dollar.

 

Our Board of Directors is responsible for determining the fair value of our portfolio investments on a quarterly basis. In that regard, the board has retained Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc. (“Houlihan Lokey”) to assist it by having Houlihan Lokey regularly review a designated selection of our fair value determinations. Houlihan Lokey is a leading valuation firm in the U.S., engaged in approximately 1,000 valuation assignments per year for clients worldwide. Each quarter, Houlihan Lokey reviews our determination of the fair value of American Capital’s portfolio company investments that have been portfolio companies for at least one year and that have a fair value in excess of $25 million.

 

For the first quarter of 2007, Houlihan Lokey reviewed our valuations of 11 portfolio companies having an aggregate $680 million in fair value as reflected in our interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2007. Over the last four quarters, Houlihan Lokey has reviewed 86 portfolio companies totaling $4,899 million in fair value as of their respective valuation dates. In addition, Houlihan Lokey representatives attend our quarterly valuation meetings and provide periodic reports and recommendations to our Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors. For those portfolio company investments that Houlihan Lokey has reviewed using the scope of review set forth by our Board of Directors, our Board of Directors has made a fair value determination that is within the aggregate range of fair value for such investments as determined by Houlihan Lokey. Houlihan Lokey has been engaged, or may in the future be engaged, directly by us or our portfolio companies to provide investment banking services.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2007, we had $153 million in cash and cash equivalents and $88 million of restricted cash. Our restricted cash consists primarily of collections of interest and principal payments on assets that are securitized. In accordance with the terms of the related securitized debt agreements, those funds are generally distributed each quarter to pay interest and principal on the securitized debt. As of March 31, 2007, we had $307 million of availability under our revolving credit facilities (excluding standby letters of credit of $11 million) and $346 million under our forward equity sale agreements assuming the forward prices as of March 31, 2007. During the first quarter of 2007, we principally funded investments using draws on the revolving credit facilities and equity offerings, as well as proceeds from syndications of senior loans, repayments of loans and sales of equity investments.

 

As a RIC, we are required to distribute annually 90% or more of our investment company taxable income. We provide shareholders with the option of reinvesting their dividends in American Capital. In August 2004, we

amended our dividend reinvestment plan, or DRIP, to provide a 5% discount on shares purchased through the reinvested dividends, effective for dividends paid in December 2004 and thereafter, subject to terms of the plan. In March 2007, we amended our dividend reinvestment plan to reduce the discount to the market price on shares purchased through reinvested dividends from 5% to 2% beginning with our second quarter 2007 dividend.

 

We are currently in compliance with the requirements to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to qualify as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As a business development company, our asset coverage, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, must be at least 200% after each issuance of senior securities. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our asset coverage was 219% and 211%, respectively.

 

Equity Capital Raising Activities

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we completed several public offerings of our common stock in which shares were sold either directly by us or by forward purchasers in connection with forward sale agreements. The following table summarizes the total shares sold directly by us, including shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment options and through forward sale agreements, and the proceeds we received, excluding issuance costs, for the public offerings of our common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (in millions, except per share data):

In January 2007, we entered into forward sale agreements (the “January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements”) to purchase 2.0 million shares of common stock. The 2.0 million shares of common stock were borrowed from third party market sources by the counterparties, or forward purchasers, of the January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements who then sold the shares to the public. Pursuant to the January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements, we must sell to the forward purchasers 2.0 million shares of our common stock generally at such times as we elect over a one-year period. The January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements provide for settlement date or dates to be specified at our discretion within the duration of the January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements through termination in January 2008. On a settlement date, we will issue shares of our common stock to the applicable forward purchaser at the then applicable forward sale price. The forward sale price was initially $44.11 per share, which was the public offering price of shares of our common stock less the underwriting discount. The January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements provide that the initial forward sale price per share will be subject to daily adjustment based on a floating interest factor equal to the federal funds rate, less a spread, and will be subject to a decrease by $0.89, $0.91, $0.92, and $0.96 on each of March 2, 2007, June 1, 2007, September 7, 2007 and December 7, 2007, respectively. The forward sale price will also be subject to decrease if the cost to the forward purchasers of borrowing our common stock exceeds a specified amount. The January 2007 Forward Sale Agreements are considered equity instruments that are initially measured at a fair value of zero and reported in permanent equity. As of March 31, 2007 there are 2.0 million shares available under the January 2007 Forward Sales Agreements at a forward price of $43.70.

In March 2007, we entered into forward sale agreements (the “March 2007 Forward Sale Agreements”) to purchase 6.0 million shares of common stock. The 6.0 million shares of common stock were borrowed from third party market sources by the counterparties, or forward purchasers, of the March 2007 Forward Sale Agreements who then sold the shares to the public. Pursuant to the March 2007 Forward Sale Agreements, we must sell to the forward purchasers 6.0 million shares of our common stock generally at such times as we elect over a one-year period.

The forward sale price will also be subject to decrease if the cost to the forward purchasers of borrowing our common stock exceeds a specified amount. The March 2007 Forward Sale Agreements are considered equity instruments that are initially measured at a fair value of zero and reported in permanent equity. As of March 31, 2007 there are 6.0 million shares available under the March 2007 Forward Sales Agreements at a forward price of $43.06.

The weighted average debt balance for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $4,011 million and $2,431 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was 6.2% and 5.9%, respectively. We are currently in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

 

Total Return Swap Facility

 

In March 2007, our TRS Facility with Wachovia Bank, N.A. was temporarily increased from $350 million to $500 million through May 30, 2007 and will be reduced to $300 million thereafter unless further extended.

 

Portfolio Credit Quality

 

We stop accruing interest on our investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Our valuation analysis serves as a critical piece of data in this determination. A significant change in the portfolio company valuation assigned by us could have an effect on the amount of our loans on non-accrual status. As of March 31, 2007, loans on non-accrual status for sixteen portfolio companies were $208 million, calculated as the

cost plus unamortized OID, and had a fair value of $55 million. These loans include a total of $179 million with PIK interest features. As of December 31, 2006, loans on non-accrual status for fourteen portfolio companies were $183 million, calculated as the cost plus unamortized OID, and had a fair value of $54 million.

 

As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, loans on accrual status, past due loans and loans on non-accrual status were as follows (dollars in millions):

The loan balances above reflect our cost of the debt, excluding CMBS securities, plus unamortized OID. We believe that debt service collection is probable for our loans that are past due.

 

Credit Statistics

 

We monitor several key credit statistics that provide information about credit quality and portfolio performance. These key statistics include:

 

   

Debt to EBITDA Ratio—the sum of all debt with equal or senior security rights to our debt investments divided by the total adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of the most recent twelve months or, when appropriate, the forecasted twelve months.

 

   

Interest Coverage Ratio—EBITDA divided by the total scheduled cash interest payments required to have been made by the portfolio company during the most recent twelve-month period, or when appropriate, the forecasted twelve months.

 

   

Debt Service Coverage Ratio—EBITDA divided by the total scheduled principal amortization and the total scheduled cash interest payments required to have been made during the most recent twelve-month period, or when appropriate, the forecasted twelve months.

 

We require portfolio companies to provide annual audited and monthly unaudited financial statements. Using these statements, we calculate the statistics described above. Buyout and mezzanine funds typically adjust EBITDA due to the nature of change of control transactions. Such adjustments are intended to normalize and restate EBITDA to reflect the pro forma results of a company in a change of control transaction. For purposes of analyzing the financial performance of the portfolio companies, we make certain adjustments to EBITDA to reflect the pro forma results of a company consistent with a change of control transaction. We evaluate portfolio companies using an adjusted EBITDA measurement. Adjustments to EBITDA may include anticipated cost savings resulting from a merger or restructuring, costs related to new product development, compensation to previous owners, non-recurring revenues or expenses, and other acquisition or restructuring related items.

 

We track our portfolio investments on a static pool basis, including based on the statistics described above. A static pool consists of the investments made during a given year. The static pool classification of a portfolio company is based on the year the initial investment was made. Subsequent add-on investments are included in the static pool year of the original investment. The Pre-1999 static pool consists of the investments made from

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net increase in net assets from operations is affected by the spread between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. We attempt to match-fund our liabilities and assets by financing floating rate assets with floating rate liabilities and fixed rate assets with fixed rate liabilities or equity. We enter into interest rate basis swap agreements to match the interest rate basis of our assets and liabilities, thereby locking in the spread between our asset yield and the cost of our borrowings, and to fulfill our obligations under the terms of our revolving debt funding facilities and asset securitizations. However, our derivatives are considered economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

 

Under our interest rate swap agreements, we generally pay a fixed rate and receive a floating interest rate based on LIBOR. We also have interest rate swaption agreements where, if exercised, we receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate based on LIBOR. We may enter into interest rate cap agreements that would entitle us to receive an amount, if any, by which our interest payments on our variable rate debt exceed specified interest rates.

 

A summary of our derivative agreements are included in our schedule of investments in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements.

 

Foreign Currency Risks

 

We have a limited amount of investments in portfolio companies, including ECAS, for which the investment is denominated in a foreign currency, primarily the Euro. We also have other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates therefore impact our financial condition and results of operations, as reported in U.S. dollars.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as promulgated under the SEC Act of 1934, as amended. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

American Capital, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2007.
