Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2025
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Andalusian Credit Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), was formed on October 17, 2022 (“inception”). The Company is structured as an externally managed, closed-end management investment company. The Company has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Company intends to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for the tax period ending December 31, 2025 and intends to maintain its qualification as a RIC annually thereafter. For periods prior to the effectiveness of the RIC election, the Company expects to be taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company commenced operations contemporaneously with the initial drawdown from investors in the Private Offering (as defined below) which occurred on November 14, 2023 (the “Initial Closing Date”).
The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in senior secured loans with a first lien on collateral, including “unitranche” loans, which are loans that combine the characteristics of both first lien and second lien debt of U.S. middle-market companies. The Company expects to provide investors with access to a portfolio of investments in the equity or debt of private U.S. companies or public companies with less than $
The Company is externally managed by Andalusian Credit Partners, LLC (“ACP,” in such capacity, the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company that is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). ACP also serves as the Company’s administrator (in such capacity, the “Administrator”) pursuant to an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”).
The Company is conducting, on a continuous basis, a private offering (the “Private Offering”) of its limited liability company interests, par value $
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company is an investment company and, therefore, applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar, and all transactions were in U.S. Dollars. Certain items have been reclassified in prior years to conform with the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Changes in the economic and regulatory environment, financial markets, the credit worthiness of our portfolio companies, other macro-economic developments (for example, global pandemics, natural disasters, terrorism, international conflicts and war), and any other parameters used in determining these estimates and assumptions could cause actual results to differ from these estimates and assumptions, and such differences could be material.

Investments at Fair Value
Loan originations are recorded on the date of a binding commitment, which is generally the funding date. Investment transactions purchased through a secondary market are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments reflects the net change in the fair value of investments, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized. Fair value and amortized cost on positions with unfunded commitments can result in negative investment balances when unamortized discounts or fees are greater than the principal amount outstanding on the loan.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with the terms of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), as amended, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company considers its principal market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:
● | Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. |
● | Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
● | Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.
The Adviser, as the valuation designee of the board of managers (the “Board”), pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, determines in good faith the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available. The Adviser applies a valuation policy approved by the Board that is consistent with ASC 820 (“Valuation Policy”). In accordance with the Valuation Policy, the Adviser evaluates the source of the inputs, including any markets in which the Company’s investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. When an investment is valued based on prices provided by reputable dealers or pricing services (that is, broker quotes), the Adviser subjects those prices to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular investment would qualify for treatment as a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 investment.
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 Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of such 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 realized. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities and may be subject to contractual and other restrictions on resale. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.
In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected herein.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents may consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments (e.g., money market funds, U.S. Treasury notes, and similar type instruments) with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with highly rated banking corporations and, at times, cash deposits may exceed the insured limits under applicable law.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion or amortization of discounts or premiums. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are capitalized into the cost basis and accreted or amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion or amortization of discounts or premiums, if any.
Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK interest represents accrued interest that is added to the principal amount of the investment on the respective interest payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity. PIK dividends represent accrued dividends that are added to the shares held of the equity investment on the respective dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at a certain trigger date. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not hold any investments that have contractual PIK interest or PIK dividends.
Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, underwriting, arranger and prepayment fees associated with the Company’s investment activities as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.
Debt investments are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. When a debt investment is placed on non-accrual status, the Company ceases to recognize interest income until the portfolio company has paid all principal and interest due or demonstrated the ability to repay its current and future contractual obligations to the Company. The Company may determine to continue to accrue interest on a loan where the investment has sufficient collateral value to collect all of the contractual amount due and is in the process of collection. Interest collected on non-accrual investments are generally applied to principal.
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.
Organizational and Offering Expenses
Organizational expenses to establish the Company are expensed as incurred. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs of organizing the Company.
Offering expenses in connection with the offering of Shares are capitalized as a deferred charge and are amortized over a twelve-month period beginning with the later of either the Initial Closing Date or from incurrence. These costs consist primarily of legal and other fees incurred in connection with the Company’s Private Offering of its Shares.
In accordance with the Company's Memorandum, the Company will pay all initial organizational and offering expenses associated with the Private Offering of its Shares up to a maximum amount of
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are fees and other direct incremental costs incurred by the Company related to the closing or amendments of a debt borrowing. These costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related debt borrowing using the effective yield method or the straight-line method, which closely approximates the effective yield method. Deferred financing costs are generally presented as a reduction to the associated liability balance on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, except for deferred financing costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements which are included within Prepaid expenses and other assets as permitted under GAAP.
11
Expenses
Expenses are accrued in the period to which they are incurred. The Company will generally bear the following expenses, including but not limited to legal, tax, auditing, compliance, consulting and other professional expenses, the Management Fee and Incentive Compensation (each as defined below), professional liability insurance and research and market data expenses. Generally, research and market data expenses will be allocated among the Company and other funds or accounts managed by the Adviser on a pro rata basis. However, the Adviser has authority to negotiate arrangements with other funds and accounts pursuant to which those funds and accounts will not bear such expenses, despite benefiting, directly or indirectly, from the applicable products and services by participating in investments that have been analyzed with the help of those resources. In such instances, the Company and other funds and accounts that have not entered into such arrangements with the Adviser will bear more than their respective pro rata share of the applicable expenses. The Adviser currently manages one separate account client that does not bear investment related research and data costs pursuant to such an arrangement.
Income Taxes
The Company intends to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and intends to make the required distributions to its shareholders to qualify and maintain its ability to be taxed as a RIC.
To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements as well as distribute each taxable year dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an amount generally at least equal to
For periods prior to the effectiveness of our RIC election, the Company was subject to taxation as a corporation. There are no outstanding tax liabilities associated with such prior periods.
The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its financial statements, to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes, as applicable, are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, as applicable, related to unrecognized tax positions in the provision for income taxes. If recognized, the entire amount of unrecognized tax positions would be recorded as a reduction in the provision for income taxes. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were
Segment Reporting
The Company has determined that it has a single operating segment in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). As a result, the Company’s segment accounting policies are the same as described herein and the Company does not have any intra-segment sales and transfers of assets.
12
The Company operates through a single operating and reporting segment with an investment objective to generate current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in senior secured loans. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the management committee of the Adviser. The CODM uses our net investment income (loss) and net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations as reported in the Statements of Operations to assess the Company’s performance and when allocating resources. Net Investment Income is comprised of total investment income (loss) and total net operating expenses, which are considered the key segment measures of profit or loss received by the CODM. As the Company’s operations comprise of a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities as “total assets” and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The effective date for the amendments in ASU 2023-09 are for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, within relevant income statement captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning with the first quarter ended March 31, 2028. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its financial statements.

The Income Incentive Fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated by comparing “Pre-incentive fee net investment income” to a “Hurdle Amount”, which is equal to the product of (i) the “hurdle rate” of
“Pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the Management Fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero-coupon securities, accrued income that we have not yet received in cash.
Prior to an Exchange Listing, the Company will pay the Income Incentive Fee in each calendar quarter as follows:
● |

“Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return” during the relevant quarter means (x) pre-incentive fee net Investment income in respect of the quarter less (y) any Net Capital Loss, if any. “Net Capital Loss” in respect of a particular quarter means the difference, if positive, between (i) aggregate capital losses, whether realized or unrealized, in respect of such quarter and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, in respect of such quarter.
If, in any calendar quarter, the Pre-Exchange Listing Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Company shall pay no Income Incentive Fee to the Adviser in respect of that quarter. If, in any calendar quarter, the Pre-Exchange Listing Incentive Fee Cap is a positive value but is less than the Income Incentive Fee amount, the Company shall pay the Adviser the Pre-Exchange Listing Incentive Fee Cap in respect of such quarter. If, in any calendar quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is equal to or greater than the Income Incentive Fee, the Company shall pay the Adviser the Income Incentive Fee in respect of such quarter.

If, in any calendar quarter, the Post-Exchange Listing Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Company shall pay no Income Incentive Fee to the Adviser in respect of that quarter. If, in any calendar quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is a positive value but is less than the Income Incentive Fee amount, the Company shall pay the Adviser the Post-Exchange Listing Incentive Fee Cap in respect of such quarter. If, in any calendar quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is equal to or greater than the Income Incentive Fee, the Company shall pay the Adviser the Income Incentive Fee in respect of such quarter.
These calculations will be appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases by the Company during the current quarter. The Company does not currently intend to institute a share repurchase program and share repurchases will be effected only in extremely limited circumstances in accordance with applicable law. If the Exchange Listing occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar quarter, the Income Incentive Fee shall be calculated for such calendar quarter at a weighted rate calculated based on the fee rates applicable before and after an Exchange Listing based on the number of days in such calendar quarter before and after an Exchange Listing.

In determining the Capital Gains Incentive Fee payable to the Adviser, we calculate the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains and cumulative aggregate realized capital losses since the Company’s inception, and the aggregate unrealized capital depreciation as of the date of the calculation, as applicable, with respect to each of the investments in the Company’s portfolio. For this purpose, cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equals the sum of the differences between the net sales price of each investment, when sold, and the original cost of such investment since the Company's inception. Cumulative aggregate realized capital losses equals the sum of the amounts by which the net sales price of each investment, when sold, is less than the original cost of such investment since the Company's inception. Aggregate unrealized capital depreciation equals the sum of the difference, if negative, between the valuation of each investment as of the applicable calculation date and the original cost of such investment. At the end of the applicable year, the amount of capital gains that serves as the basis for the Company’s calculation of the Capital Gains Incentive Fee equals the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains less cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, less aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, with respect to the Company’s portfolio of investments. If this number is positive at the end of such year, then the Capital Gains Incentive Fee for such year will equal
If an Exchange Listing occurs on a date other than the first day of a fiscal year, a Capital Gains Incentive Fee shall be calculated as of the day before the Exchange Listing, with such Capital Gains Incentive Fee paid to the Adviser following the end of the fiscal year in which the Exchange Listing occurred.

The Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments that are categorized as Level 3:
The fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available is determined by the Adviser’s valuation committee, subject to oversight by the Board, consistent with the Valuation Policy. In connection with that determination, investment valuations will be prepared using ranges of valuations obtained from independent valuation firms, and/or proprietary models depending on the materiality of the investments, the availability of information on the Company’s investments and the type of investment being valued, all in accordance with the Valuation Policy.
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. As part of the valuation process, the factors that may be taken into account in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments, include, as relevant: the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company (i.e., the total fair value of the portfolio company’s debt and equity), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, and overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Adviser’s valuation committee will consider whether the pricing indicated by the external event corroborates its valuation.
Investments in debt securities are initially evaluated to determine whether the enterprise value of the portfolio company is greater than the applicable debt. The enterprise value of the portfolio company is estimated using a market approach and an income approach. The market approach utilizes market value (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The Adviser carefully considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used to value the Company’s portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. The income approach typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis of the portfolio company.
Investments in debt securities that do not have sufficient coverage through the enterprise value analysis are valued based on an expected probability of default and discount recovery analysis.
Investments in debt securities with sufficient coverage through the enterprise value analysis are generally valued using a discounted cash flow “yield analysis” of the underlying security. Projected cash flows in the discounted cash flow typically represent the relevant security’s contractual interest, fees and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the security’s expected maturity date.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in first lien term loans are discount rates and transaction prices. Significant increases in discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.
The carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value based on the short-term nature of these items.

Note 10. Tax Matters
The Company intends to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs for the tax period ending December 31, 2025. So long as the Company maintains its tax treatment as a RIC, it generally will not be subject to corporate - level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains distributed to shareholders as dividends. As such,
For periods prior to the effectiveness of our RIC election, it is not anticipated that the Company will incur U.S. federal, state, and local taxes (other than nominal state and local taxes) as a corporation and consequently,

As of December 31, 2024, the Company determined a valuation allowance was required. The Company’s assessment considered, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carryforwards are limited or are likely to expire unused. Through the consideration of these factors, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company’s net deferred tax asset would not be realized. As a result, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2024.
From time to time, the Company may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications to the Company’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on or expirations of the Company’s net operating losses and capital loss carryovers (if any) and changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Company’s NAV per share, which could be material.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for federal and state income tax purposes of $

Overview
We are a specialty finance company focused on lending to middle-market companies. We are a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Our primary business objectives are to generate current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in senior secured loans with a first lien on collateral, including “unitranche” loans, which are loans that combine the characteristics of both first lien and second lien debt of U.S. middle-market companies. In addition, the Company intends to elect to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Subchapter M of the Code for the tax period ending December 31, 2025 and intends to maintain its qualification as a RIC annually thereafter. For periods prior to the effectiveness of the RIC election, the Company expects to be taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We generally define middle-market companies as those having earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of less than $150 million annually and we seek to achieve our investment objectives by:
(i) | Accessing the loan origination channels developed by our team of experienced private credit investors, including our investment team and executive leadership; |
(ii) | Selecting investments within our core U.S. middle-market company focus; |
(iii) | Partnering with experienced private equity firms, sponsors or independent business owners, as well as a group of relationship lenders in so called “club deals” (which are generally investments that are either pre-marketed to a smaller group of relationship lenders, or lenders join together to provide the investment): |
(iv) | Implementing the disciplined underwriting standards established by the Adviser; and/or |
(v) | Drawing upon the aggregate experience and resources of the Adviser. |
To accomplish this, the Company plans to make direct investments in portfolio companies that operate across various industries in U.S.-based companies. The Company may also selectively invest in (i) second lien and subordinated loans of, and warrants and minority equity securities in, U.S. middle-market companies, (ii) secondary purchases of assets or portfolios and (iii) distressed debt, debtor-in-possession loans, structured products, structurally subordinated loans, investments with deferred interest features, payment-in-kind (“PIK”) securities, zero-coupon securities and defaulted securities, but such investments are not the principal focus of its investment strategy. Our level of investment activity can and is expected to vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt available to middle-market companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.
We will seek to target a portfolio comprised primarily of first lien senior secured debt of U.S. middle market companies, with target hold size of approximately $10 million to $40 million. During our initial ramp-up period we may hold more concentrated positions and may deploy capital into temporary investments, including broadly syndicated loans. Our origination strategy focuses on leading the negotiation and structuring of the loans or securities in which we invest and holding the investments in our portfolio to maturity. In many cases, we will be the sole investor in the loan or security in our portfolio. Where there are multiple investors, we will generally seek to control or obtain significant influence over the rights of investors in the loan or security. We generally invest in securities that have been rated below investment grade by independent rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were
25
rated. These securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. In addition, many of our debt investments have floating interest rates that reset on a periodic basis and typically do not fully pay down principal prior to maturity, which could increase our risk of losing part or all of our investment.

Our investment activities are managed by the Adviser and supervised by our board of managers (the “Board), of which a majority of the members are not “interested persons,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, of us, the Adviser and its affiliates.
Under an investment advisory agreement, or the Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay the Adviser a base management fee based on the sum of (1) the Members’ total unfunded Capital Commitments and (2) the Company’s total assets (excluding cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) as of the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter. In addition, the Adviser may also receive incentive compensation based on a percentage of out-performance above a Hurdle Rate on the Company’s income and a portion is based on a percentage of the Company’s capital gains. See Note 3 – Related Party Agreements – Advisory Agreement, for more information.
Under an administration agreement, or the Administration Agreement, we are provided with certain administrative services by an administrator, or the Administrator, which is currently Andalusian Credit Partners, LLC. Under the Administration Agreement, we have agreed to pay to the Administrator an annual administration fee of 0.25% on the Company’s total Capital Commitments, payable quarterly in arrears, for services and facilities provided under the Administration Agreement. See Note 3 – Related Party Agreements – Administration Agreement, for more information.
As of March 31, 2025, we have raised and received capital commitments of over $507.9 million of which $299.7 million was undrawn as of March 31, 2025. Since we began our investment activities in February 2024 through March 31, 2025, we have originated over approximately $170 million aggregate principal commitments to over 15 portfolio companies.
Macroeconomic Market Developments
The capital markets are subject to fluctuations caused by various external factors such as changes in the inflationary environment, interest rate movements, concerns over slowing economic growth and possible global recession, changes to U.S. tariff and import/export regulations, uncertainty and disruption caused by geopolitical events, including the conflicts in Ukraine, Russia, and the Middle East, among other factors. These macroeconomic developments are outside our control and could require us to adjust our plan of operations, and impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the future. We monitor macroeconomic market developments and their related impact to our business, including impacts to our portfolio companies, employees, due diligence and underwriting processes, and the broader financial markets.
Our investment portfolio is currently focused on industries and sectors that are generally expected to be more resilient to U.S. and global economic cycles. This includes being partially insulated from declining interest rates as all of our floating rate debt investments, which represent 100.0% and 100.0% of our debt portfolio as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are subject to interest rate floors. While our portfolio is not immune to the impact of macroeconomic events, we believe we and our portfolio are well positioned to manage the current environment. Given the unpredictability and fluidity of the macroeconomic market, neither our management nor our Board can predict the full impact of the macroeconomic events on our business, future results of operations,
26
financial position, or cash flows. For additional information, see "Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K filed on March 19, 2025.

Yield to maturity is calculated inclusive of a portfolio company’s spread, reference rate floor (if any) or actual reference rate in effect and original issue discount through maturity and excludes any upfront fees or present value adjustments. |
The weighted average yield of our accruing debt and income producing securities will not be the same as a return on investment for our Members but, rather, relates to our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of our and any of our subsidiaries’ fees and expenses. The weighted average yield will be computed using the effective interest rates as of each respective date, including accretion of original issue discount and loan origination fees, but excluding investments on non-accrual status, if any. There can be no assurance that the weighted average yield will remain at its current level.
Portfolio Grading
In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Adviser uses an investment grading system, which grades each investment on a scale of 1 to 4 no less frequently than quarterly in connection with our quarterly valuation process. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (e.g., at the time of origination or acquisition), although it may also take into account, under certain circumstances, the performance of the portfolio company’s business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. The grading system for our investments from 1 to 4, with 1 being the highest, is as follows:
● | Grade 1: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is substantially within or above the Adviser’s expectations and whose risk factors are neutral to favorable to those at the time of the original investment or subsequent restructuring. All investments will initially be graded as a 1. |
27
● | Grade 2: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is below the Adviser’s expectations and that require closer monitoring; however, the adverse impact may be deemed temporary, and the most likely outcome is that no loss of investment return (interest and/or dividends) or principal is expected. |
● | Grade 3: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is below the Adviser’s expectations and for which risk has increased materially since origination or subsequent restructuring. Some loss of investment return is likely, but no loss of principal is expected. Companies graded 3 generally present a higher risk of liquidity pressure and/or covenant breach over the next six to twelve months. These investments will be added to the Adviser’s “watch list.” Investment teams will research any areas of concern with the objective of early intervention with the company. |
● | Grade 4: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is materially below the Adviser’s expectations where business trends have deteriorated and risk factors have increased substantially since the original investment or subsequent restructuring, potentially resulting in a breach of covenants or other event of default. Investments graded 4 are those for which some loss of principal or invested capital is likely. For these investments, our investment teams review the loans on a bi-monthly basis and, where possible, pursue workout actions that achieve an early resolution to avoid further deterioration. |
The following table shows the distribution of our outstanding debt investments on the 1 to 4 investment grading scale as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively:

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our debt investments had a weighted average investment grading of 1.1 and 1.0 on a cost basis, respectively. Changes in a portfolio company's investment grading may be a result of changes in a portfolio company's performance and/or timing of expected liquidity events. For instance, we may downgrade a portfolio company if it is not meeting our financing criteria or are underperforming relative to their respective business plans. We may also downgrade a portfolio company as it approaches a point in time when it will require additional equity capital to continue operations. Conversely, we may upgrade a portfolio company's investment grading when it is exceeding our financial performance expectations and/or is expected to mature/repay in full due to a liquidity event. The overall downgrade of the portfolio's weighted average investment grading is reflective of the impact of the current macroeconomic environment.
As macroeconomic events evolve and cause disruption in the capital markets and to businesses, we are continuing to monitor and work with the management teams and stakeholders of our portfolio companies to navigate the significant market, operational, and economic challenges created by these events. This includes remaining proactive in our assessments of credit performance to manage potential risks across our investment portfolio.
28
Non-accrual Investments
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. When a Loan is placed on non-accrual status, the Company ceases to recognize interest income until the portfolio company has paid all principal and interest due or demonstrated the ability to repay its current and future contractual obligations to the Company. The Company may determine to continue to accrue interest on a loan where the investment has sufficient collateral value to collect all of the contractual amount due and is in the process of collection. Interest collected on non-accrual investments are generally applied to principal. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no loans placed on non-accrual status.

Investment Income
We generate revenue in the form of interest income and fees primarily from our debt investments. In some cases, our debt investments may pay PIK interest. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled approximately $2.6 million as compared to approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in interest income from investments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily attributable to an increase in the weighted average principal held during the period.
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents primarily relates to cash held in money market accounts, which for the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled approximately $0.7 million as compared to approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Cash is held for investment purposes and as needed held to ensure the portfolio remains in compliance with RIC diversification requirements.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are comprised of management and administration fees, professional fees, interest and other financing fees, offering expenses, and general and administrative expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our operating expenses totaled approximately $2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Management, Incentive, and Administration fees
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, management fees totaled approximately $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Management fees increased primarily due to our increase in capital commitments. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $0.2 million of management fees were waived pursuant to the waiver election which ended in November 2024. There were no incentive fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. See Note 3 – Related Party Agreements – Advisory Agreement, for additional discussion related to management and incentive fees.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, administration fees totaled approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Administration fees increased primarily due to our increase in capital commitments. See Note 3 – Related Party Agreements – Administration Agreement, for additional discussion related to administration fees.
Professional Fees
Professional fees include legal, audit, tax, valuation and other professional fees incurred related to the management of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, professional fees totaled approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively for the three-month periods. Professional fees increased primarily due to an increase in valuation expenses.
Interest and Other Financing Expenses
Interest and other financing expenses relates to interest and costs associated with our CIBC Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, interest expenses totaled approximately none and $10.8 thousand, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, other financing costs totaled approximately $147.5 thousand and $106.0 thousand, respectively.
There were no borrowings outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, average borrowings outstanding were approximately $0.5 million and the weighted average interest rate (excluding unused fees and financing costs) of the aggregate borrowings outstanding was 8.32%. See Note 6 – Borrowings, for more information.
Other Expenses
Other expenses include board fees and certain allocated technology, research, and other regulatory and compliance expenses incurred related to the management of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, other expenses totaled approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
30
Other expenses also include offering expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no additional offering expenses incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, offering expenses totaled approximately $0.3 million. The Company will pay all initial organizational and offering expenses associated with the Private Offering of its Shares up to a maximum amount of 1.50% of aggregate Capital Commitments to the Company over the initial four-year period following November 14, 2023. Since inception through March 31, 2025, the Company has incurred $2.2 million of organizational and offering expenses.
Income Taxes, Including Excise Taxes
We intend to elect to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for the tax period ending December 31, 2025 and intend to maintain qualification as a RIC annually thereafter. To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute to our Members in each taxable year generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, and net tax-exempt income, if any for that taxable year. To maintain our tax treatment as a RIC, we, among other things, intend to make the required distributions to our Members, which generally relieves us from U.S. federal income taxes at corporate rates to the extent of such distributions. For periods prior to the effectiveness of our RIC election, we expect to be taxed as a corporation. It is not anticipated that we will incur U.S. federal, state, and local taxes (other than nominal state and local taxes) as a corporation and consequently, no such taxes were accrued for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Upon our qualification as a RIC, depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we can be expected to carry forward taxable income (including net capital gains, if any) in excess of current year dividend distributions from the current tax year into the next tax year and pay a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such taxable income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such income, we will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income.
The character of income and gains that the Company distributes is determined in accordance with U.S. income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to Member dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital.
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation
The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation of our investments is derived from the changes in fair value of each investment determined in good faith by the Adviser, in its capacity as our valuation designee under rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, in accordance with valuation policies and procedures that were approved by the Board. The following table summarizes the change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
| March 31, 2025 |
| March 31, 2024 | |||
Investment valuation appreciation (depreciation) | $ | (329,874) |
| $ | — | |
Reversal of prior period net change in unrealized (appreciation) depreciation upon a realization event | (5,045) | — | ||||
Total Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ | (334,919) |
| $ | — |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the net change in unrealized depreciation was primarily related to depreciation of our debt investments due to an increase in market discount rates.
31
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources are derived from investor drawdowns, debt borrowings and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur.
We have used, and expect to continue to use, the proceeds from the turnover of our portfolio and from private offerings of shares to finance our investment objectives. We may also raise additional equity or debt capital through private offerings of securities, by securitizing a portion of our investments. As noted in Note 1. Organization, we are conducting, on a continuous basis, a private offering of our limited liability company interests, at par value $0.001 per share, to accredited investors, as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Shares are offered for subscription continuously, pursuant to the terms set forth in our Memorandum. This “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section should be read in conjunction with the “Macroeconomic Market Developments” section above.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had received Capital Commitments of $507.9 million of which $299.7 million was undrawn. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had received Capital Commitments of $505.7 million of which $348.9 million was undrawn.
There were no dividends declared or reinvested from inception through March 31, 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we principally funded our operations from (i) cash receipts from interest and fee income from our investment portfolio, (ii) cash proceeds from the realization of portfolio investments through the repayments of debt investments, and (iii) drawdowns from unfunded equity commitments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our operating activities used $20.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $21.2 million used during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The $1.1 million decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to increased interest income generated from operations of approximately $3.0 million offset by an increase in purchases of investments net of principal repayments of $0.9 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our financing activities provided $51.4 million of cash, compared to $21.5 million provided during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The $29.9 million increase in cash flows from financing activities was primarily the result of increased proceeds from issuances of shares during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Available liquidity and capital resources as of March 31, 2025
As of March 31, 2025, we had $90.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $75.0 million of availability under the CIBC Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, we believed we had adequate financial resources to satisfy unfunded portfolio company commitments of $29.2 million and ample liquidity to support our near-term capital requirements. As the impact of macro-economic events, potential global recession, acts of terrorism, war, geopolitical events, and the related disruption to markets and business continues to impact the economy, we will continue to evaluate our overall liquidity position and take proactive steps to maintain the appropriate liquidity position based upon the current circumstances. The 1940 Act permits BDCs to incur borrowings, issue debt securities, or issue preferred stock unless immediately after the borrowings or issuance the ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness plus preferred stock is less than 200% (or 150% if certain requirements are met). On August 1, 2023, the Company received approval from ACP, as the Company’s sole initial shareholder, for the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act. As a result, effective on August 2, 2023, the Company’s asset coverage requirement applicable to senior securities was reduced from 200% to 150%.

Commitments and Obligations
In the normal course of business, we are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These consist primarily of unfunded contractual commitments to extend credit, in the form of loans, to our portfolio companies.

Related Party Transactions
As detailed in Note 3. Related Party Transaction, appearing elsewhere in this report, we have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement.
In addition to the aforementioned agreements, the Company has received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Company, Adviser and certain of its affiliates to co-invest with other funds managed by the Adviser and its affiliates in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, which are based on the information that is currently available to them, historical experience and on various other inputs and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a description of our critical accounting policies, refer to “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in the notes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. We consider the most significant accounting policies to be those related to our Valuation of Investments, Fair Valuation Measurements, and Income Recognition. The valuation of investments is our most significant critical estimate. The most significant input to this estimate is the discount interest rate, which includes the hypothetical market yield plus premium or discount adjustment, used in determining the fair value of our debt investments.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to the variable rate investments we may hold and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we may hold. A rise in interest rates would also be expected to lead to higher cost on any floating rate borrowings we may have in the future.
We intend to fund portions of our investments with borrowings, and at such time, our net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. In a low interest rate environment, the difference between the total interest income earned on interest earning assets and the total interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities may be compressed, reducing our net income and potentially adversely affecting our operating results. Conversely, in a rising interest rate environment, such difference could potentially increase thereby increasing our net income as indicated per the table below.
As of March 31, 2025, 100.0% of our debt investments based on fair value bear interest at floating rates. Additionally, the weighted average reference rate floor, based on fair value, of our debt investments was 1.28%. The CIBC Credit Facility bears interest at floating rates with no interest rate floor.
Based on our Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2025, assuming there are no changes in our investment and borrowing structure, the following table shows the approximate annualized impact on net interest income, of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for floating rate instruments):

We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using hedging instruments such as additional interest rate swaps, futures, options, and forward contracts. While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
(b)Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
Neither we nor the Adviser are currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. While the outcome of any such future legal or regulatory proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that any such future proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
There have been no material changes since the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 19, 2025 to the risk factors previously disclosed therein. If any of such risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, the value of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Except as previously reported by the Company on its current reports on Form 8-K, the Company did not sell any securities during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that were not registered under the Securities Act.
