TRILINC GLOBAL IMPACT FUND, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2023

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Operations of the Company

TriLinc Global Impact Fund, LLC (the “Company”) was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on April 30, 2012 and formally commenced operations on June 11, 2013. The Company makes impact investments in Small and Medium Enterprises, known as SMEs, which the Company defines as those businesses having less than 500 employees, primarily in developing economies that provide the opportunity to achieve both competitive financial returns and positive measurable impact. The Company uses the proceeds raised from the issuance of units to invest in SMEs through local market sub-advisors in a diversified portfolio of financial assets, including direct loans, convertible debt instruments, trade finance, structured credit and preferred and common equity investments. To a lesser extent, the Company may also make impact investments in companies that may not meet our technical definition of SMEs due to a larger number of employees but that also provide the opportunity to achieve both competitive financial returns and positive measurable impact. In addition, the Company may also make investments in developed economies, including the United States. The Company generally expects that such investments will have similar investment characteristics as SMEs as defined by the Company. The Company’s investment objectives are to generate current income, capital preservation and modest capital appreciation primarily through investments in SMEs. The Company is externally managed by TriLinc Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). The Advisor is an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

TriLinc Global, LLC (the “Sponsor”) is the sponsor of the Company and employs staff who operate both the Advisor and the Company.  The Sponsor owns 100% of the Advisor.

In May 2012, the Advisor purchased 22,161 Class A units for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000. The Company commenced its initial public offering of up to $1,500,000,000 in units of limited liability company interest (the “Offering”) on February 25, 2013. On June 11, 2013, the Company satisfied its minimum offering requirement of $2,000,000 when the Sponsor purchased 321,330 Class A units for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,900,000 and the Company commenced operations. The primary public offering terminated on March 31, 2017. The Company continues to offer and sell units pursuant to its Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRP”). Through the termination of the primary offering, the Company raised approximately $361,776,000 in gross proceeds, including approximately $13,338,000 raised through the DRP. For the period from April 1, 2017 to  June 30, 2023, the Company raised an additional $99,790,000 pursuant to a private placement and $53,853,000 pursuant to the DRP, for total gross proceeds of approximately $515,418,810 as of  June 30, 2023.

Although the Company was organized and intends to conduct its business in a manner so that it is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the consolidated financial statements are prepared using the specialized accounting principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. Overall, the Company’s management believes the use of investment company accounting makes the Company’s financial statements more useful to investors and other financial statement users since it allows a more appropriate basis of comparison to other entities with similar objectives.

To assist the Company in achieving its investment objective, the Company makes investments via wholly owned subsidiaries (each a “Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), all of which are Cayman Islands exempted companies. The Subsidiaries own all of the Company’s investments. As of  June 30, 2023, the Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Asia, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Latin America, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Trade Finance, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – African Trade Finance, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Africa, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Latin America II, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – African Trade Finance II, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Latin America III, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Asia II, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Asia III, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Asia IV, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Africa Latin America, Ltd.

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund - Africa Latin America Trade Finance, Ltd

● TriLinc Global Impact Fund – Cayman, Ltd.

Through  June 30, 2023, the Company has made, through its Subsidiaries, loans in a number of countries located in South America, Asia, Africa, North America, and Europe.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial information is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the FASB ASC Topic 946 — Financial Services, Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The interim consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form  10-Q. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, prepared in accordance with GAAP is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been omitted herein. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on September 29, 2023. Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

The results of operations for the  six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that ultimately may be achieved for the full year ending  December 31, 2023.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which were established to hold certain investments of the Company. The Company owns 100% of each subsidiary and, as such, the subsidiaries are consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Transactions between subsidiaries, to the extent they occur, are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. These financial statements are presented in United States (“U.S.”) dollars, which is the functional and reporting currency of the Company and all its subsidiaries.

10

 

Cash

Cash consists of demand deposits at a financial institution located in the U.S. Such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company considers the credit risk of this financial institution to be remote and has not experienced and does not expect to experience any losses in any such accounts. The Company limits its credit risk by selecting financial institutions considered to be highly creditworthy.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. Following the initial accrual of interest income receivable balances are adjusted to have such balances reflect their net realizable value at each reporting date. The Company determines the net realizable value using the same methodologies used to determine the fair value of investments. Structuring, upfront and similar fees are recorded as a discount on investments purchased and are accreted into interest income, on a straight-line basis over the life of the associated loan, which the Company has determined not to be materially different from the effective yield method.

The Company records prepayment fees for loans and debt securities paid back to the Company prior to the maturity date as income upon receipt.

The Company generally places loans on non-accrual status when there is a reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Non-accrual loans are generally restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Company’s management’s judgment, is likely to remain current over the remainder of the term.

Valuation of Investments

The Company carries all of its investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Fair value is the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value measurement guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the observability of the inputs used to determine fair values. Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

● Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

● Level 2 — Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable.

● Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and is based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

11

 

These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the income or liquidation approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes, which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. Certain investments may be valued based upon a collateral approach, which uses estimated value of underlying collateral and includes adjustments deemed necessary for estimates of costs to obtain control and liquidate available collateral. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.

The inputs used in the determination of fair value may require significant judgment or estimation.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at those quotations. Most of the Company’s investments are loans to private companies, which are not actively traded in any market and for which quotations are not available. For those investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or when such market quotations are deemed by the Advisor not to represent fair value, the Company’s board of managers has approved a multi-step valuation process to be followed each fiscal quarter, as described below:

1. Each investment is valued by the Advisor on a quarterly basis;

2. Materiality is assessed quarterly on all investments to determine whether an independent review is appropriate. The Advisor engages a third-party valuation firm to conduct an independent review of the reasonableness of the Advisor’s internal estimates of fair value on certain of the qualifying loans, and to provide an opinion of whether they concur with the Advisor’s analysis. The independent assessment occurs on a discretionary basis based on qualifications that takes into account both quantitative thresholds and qualitative considerations, as determined by the Advisor. The analysis performed by the independent valuation firm was based upon data and assumptions provided to it by the Company and received from third party sources, which the independent valuation firm relied upon as being accurate without independent verification. The results of the analyses performed by the independent valuation firm are among the factors taken into consideration by the Company and its management in making its determination with respect to the fair value of such investments, but are not determinative. The Company and its management are solely and ultimately responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s investments in good faith;

3. The audit committee of the Company’s board of managers reviews and discusses the preliminary valuation prepared by the Advisor and any report rendered by the independent valuation firm; and

4. The board of managers discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the inputs which include but are not limited to, inputs of the Advisor, the independent valuation firm and the audit committee. The Company and its board of managers are solely and ultimately responsible for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of each investment.

Below is a description of factors that the Company’s board of managers may consider when valuing the Company’s investments.

Any potential valuation adjustments are subject to a materiality threshold as determined by the Advisor. Due to the fact that all non-Watch List investments are deemed performing loans, with no macroeconomic indicator or other event observed that would reasonably be expected to have a material impact on the underlying performance or collateral value of the investment, all non-Watch List investments are deemed performing loans, because there are no macroeconomic indicators or other events observed that would reasonably be expected to have a material impact on the underlying performance or collateral value of the investments. If, pursuant to the Company's quarterly review, the Company determines that one or more material valuation adjustments are appropriate, then the Company adjusts the fair value. Historically, in most cases when these adjustments have resulted in a fair value that is materially different from the investment’s amortized cost, the Company has determined to place it on the Watch List. Fixed income investments are typically valued utilizing a market approach, income approach, collateral based approach, or a combination of these approaches (and any others, as appropriate). The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including the sale of a business) and is used less frequently due to the private nature of the Company’s investments. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, interest and principal payments) to a single present value amount (Discounted Cash Flow or “DCF”) calculated based on an appropriate discount rate. The measurement is based on the net present value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. For Watch List investments, the Company predominantly uses the income approach, but may also use a collateral based approach (also known as a liquidation or net recovery approach), or a hybrid approach consisting of the income approach and the collateral based approach. The collateral based approach uses estimates of the collateral value of the borrower’s assets using an expected recovery model. When using the collateral based approach, the Company determines the fair value of the remaining assets, discounted to reflect the anticipated amount of time to recovery and the uncertainty of recovery. The Company also may make further adjustments to account for anticipated costs of recovery, including legal fees and expenses. In following a given approach, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in valuing the Company’s investments include, as applicable:

● Macro-economic factors that are relevant to the investment or the underlying borrower

● Industry factors that are relevant to the investment or the underlying borrower

● Historical and projected financial performance of the borrower based on most recent financial statements

12

 

● Borrower draw requests and payment track record

● Loan covenants, duration and drivers

● Performance and condition of the collateral (nature, type and value) that supports the investment

● Sub-Advisor recommendation as to possible impairment or reserve, including updates and feedback

● For participations, the Company’s ownership percentage of the overall facility

● Key inputs and assumptions that are believed to be most appropriate for the investment and the approach utilized

● Applicable global interest rates

● Impact of investments placed on non-accrual status

With respect to warrants and other equity investments, as well as certain fixed income investments, the Company may also look to private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party investments in the portfolio companies, option pricing models or industry practices in determining fair value. The Company may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses, as well as any other factors the Company deems relevant in measuring the fair values of the Company’s investments.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments

The Company measures net realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale on investments and the amortized cost basis of the investment including unamortized upfront fees. Realized gains or losses on the disposition of an investment are calculated using the specific identification method, utilizing the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

Payment-in-Kind Interest

The Company has investments that contain a payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest provision. For loans with contractual PIK interest, any interest will be added to the principal balance of such investments and be recorded as income, if the valuation indicates that such interest is collectible as of  June 30, 2023. For the three and  six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company earned and capitalized PIK interest of  $5,355,140 and $9,612,350, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company earned and capitalized PIK interest of $6,890,727 and $11,251,196, respectively.

Distribution and Ongoing Dealer Manager and Service Fees

The Company pays a distribution fee equal to 0.8% per annum of the Company’s current estimated value per share for each Class C unit sold in the Offering or pursuant to a private placement. The distribution fee is payable until the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a listing of the Class C units on a national securities exchange, (ii) following completion of each respective offering, total selling compensation equaling 10% of the gross proceeds of such offering, or (iii) there are no longer any Class C units outstanding. In addition, the Company pays an ongoing dealer manager fee for each Class I unit and Class W unit sold pursuant to a private placement. Such ongoing dealer manager fee is payable for five years until the earlier of: (x) the date on which such Class I units or Class W units are repurchased by the Company; (y) the listing of the Class I units or Class W units on a national securities exchange, the sale of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or (z) the fifth anniversary of the admission of the investor as a unitholder. Further, the Company pays an ongoing service fee for each Class W unit sold pursuant to a private placement. Such ongoing service fee is payable for six years until the earlier of: (x) the date on which such Class W units are repurchased by the Company; (y) the listing of the Class W units on a national securities exchange, the sale of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or (z) the sixth anniversary of the admission of the investor as a unitholder. The distribution fees, ongoing dealer manager fees and service fees are not paid at the time of purchase. Such fees are payable monthly in arrears, as they become contractually due.

The Company accounts for the distribution fees as a charge to equity at the time each Class C unit was sold in the Offering and recorded a corresponding liability for the estimated amount to be paid in future periods. The Company accounts for the ongoing dealer manager fees and service fees paid in connection with the sale of Class I and Class W units in the private placement in the same manner. At  June 30, 2023, the estimated unpaid distribution fees for Class C units amounted to $329,000, the unpaid dealer manager fees for Class I units amounted to $14,000 and the unpaid dealer manager and service fees for Class W units amounted to $1,000.

Income Taxes

The Company is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, the Company allocates all income or loss to its unitholders according to their respective percentage of ownership, and is generally not subject to tax at the entity level. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been included in these financial statements.

13

 

The Company  may be subject to withholding taxes on income and capital gains imposed by certain countries in which the Company invests. The withholding tax on income is netted against the income accrued or received. Any reclaimable taxes are recorded as a reduction of the withholding tax on income and capital gains. The withholding tax on realized or unrealized gain is recorded as a liability.

The Company follows the guidance for uncertainty in income taxes included in the ASC 740, Income Taxes. This guidance requires the Company to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position.

As of  June 30, 2023, no tax liability for uncertain tax positions had been recognized in the accompanying financial statements nor did the Company recognize any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The earliest year that the Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination is the period ended December 31, 2019.

Unitholders are individually responsible for reporting income or loss, to the extent required by the federal and state income tax laws and regulations, based upon their respective share of the Company’s income and expense as reported for income tax purposes.

Calculation of Net Asset Value

The Company’s NAV is calculated on a quarterly basis. As of  June 30, 2023, the Company has six classes of units: Class A units, Class C units, Class I units, Class W units, Class Y units and Class Z units. All units participate in the income and expenses of the Company on a pro-rata basis based on the number of units outstanding. Under GAAP, pursuant to SEC guidance, the Company records liabilities for (i) ongoing fees that the Company currently owes to the dealer manager under the terms of the dealer manager agreement and (ii) for an estimate of the fees that the Company may pay to the dealer manager in future periods. As of  June 30, 2023, under GAAP, the Company has recorded a liability in the amount of $344,000 for the estimated future amount of Class C unit distribution fees, Class I unit dealer manager fees, Class W unit ongoing dealer manager fees and Class W unit service fees payable.

The Company is not required to determine its NAV per unit under GAAP and therefore, its determination of NAV per unit for Class C units, Class I units and Class W units varies from GAAP. The Company does not deduct the liability for estimated future distribution fees in its calculation of NAV per unit for Class C units. Further, the Company does not deduct the liability for estimated future dealer manager fees in its calculation of the NAV per unit for Class I units and Class W units. Likewise, the Company does not deduct the liability for estimated future service fees in its calculation of the NAV per unit for Class W units. The Company believes this approach is consistent with the industry standard and appropriate since the Company intends for the NAV to reflect the estimated value on the date that the Company determines its NAV.

Accordingly, the Company believes that its estimated NAV at any given time should not include consideration of any estimated future distribution, ongoing dealer manager or service fees that may become payable after such date. Our board of managers has determined that, as of  June 30, 2023, each of the Class A, Class C, Class I, Class W, Class Y and Class Z units have the same estimated NAV per unit of approximately $5.77, compared to the estimated NAV per unit of approximately $5.77 (on an aggregate basis for all unit classes) as shown in Note 10 – Financial Highlights. This estimated NAV per unit as of June 30, 2023 reflects a decrease of approximately $0.15 per unit from the NAV per unit of approximately $5.92 as of  December 31, 2022. The decrease in NAV per unit was due to a combination of factors, including the adverse impact of COVID-19 and inflation and the Company having recorded $1,660,600 in unrealized appreciation and $9,072,469 in realized loss on its investments during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net Income (Loss) per Unit

Basic net income (loss) per unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of members’ units outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of members’ units and members’ unit equivalents outstanding during the period. The Company did not have any potentially dilutive units outstanding at  June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Organization and Offering Costs

The Sponsor has incurred organization and offering costs on behalf of the Company. Organization and offering costs incurred in connection with the Offering were reimbursable to the Sponsor to the extent the aggregate of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs did not exceed 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds raised from the Offering (the “O&O Reimbursement Limit”) and were accrued and payable by the Company only to the extent that such costs did not exceed the O&O Reimbursement Limit. Reimbursements to the Sponsor of organization and offering costs are included as a reduction to net assets on the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Based on the proceeds raised in the Offering as of the end of the Offering, the organization and offering costs have not exceeded the O&O Reimbursement Limit. The Company continues to incur certain offering costs associated with the DRP as well as the ongoing fees described above in “Distribution and Ongoing Dealer Manager and Service Fees.” The Company may incur these costs directly, or may reimburse the Sponsor for paying these offering costs on behalf of the Company.

Risk Factors

As an externally-managed company, the Company is largely dependent on the efforts of the Advisor, the sub-advisors and other service providers and has been dependent on the Sponsor for financial support in prior periods.

The Company’s sub-advisors are responsible for locating, performing due diligence and closing on suitable acquisitions based on their access to local markets, local market knowledge for quality deal flow and extensive local private credit experience. However, because the sub-advisors are separate companies from the Advisor, the Company is subject to the risk that one or more of its sub-advisors will be ineffective or materially underperform. The Company’s ability to achieve its investment objectives and to pay distributions to unitholders will be dependent upon the performance of its sub-advisors in the identification, performance of due diligence on and acquisition of investments, the determination of any financing arrangements, and the management of the Company’s projects and assets. The Company is subject to the risk that the Company’s sub-advisors may fail to perform according to the Company’s expectations, or the due diligence conducted by the sub-advisors may fail to reveal all material risks of the Company’s investments, which could result in the Company being materially adversely affected.

The Company is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Global economies and capital markets can and have experienced significant volatility, which has increased the risks associated with investments in collateralized private debt instruments. Investment in the Company carries risk and there are no guarantees that the Company’s investment objectives will be achieved. The Company relies on the ability of the Advisor and the ability of the sub-advisors’ investment professionals to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential returns from these investments, which primarily are made in, with or through private companies. If the Company is unable to uncover all material information about these companies or is provided incorrect or inadequate information about these companies from the Company’s subadvisors, the Company may not make a fully informed investment decision, and the Company may lose money on its investments. IIG was the sub-advisor with respect to five of the 24 investments that the Company has deemed Watch List investments, which are investments with respect to which the Company has determined there have been significant changes in the credit and collection risk of the investment. IIG failed to provide the Company with complete and accurate information with respect to the Company’s investments for which IIG was the sub-advisor, and sold the Company a $6 million participation in a loan that did not exist. In November 2019, the SEC charged IIG with fraud and revoked IIG's registration as an investment adviser. On March 30, 2020, the SEC obtained a final judgment on consent that enjoins IIG from violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. IIG has ceased operations and the Company does not expect to receive any further reporting from IIG with respect to its outstanding investments. IIG’s acts and omissions have negatively affected and are likely to continue to negatively affect the value of certain of the Company’s investments, which could adversely affect returns to the Company’s unitholders.

The Company’s investments consist of loans, loan participations and trade finance participations that are illiquid and non-traded, making purchase or sale of such financial instruments at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult. Furthermore, the sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely difficult to value any such investments accurately.

The value of the Company’s investments in loans may be detrimentally affected to the extent, among other things, that a borrower defaults on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral securing the loan and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted loan, observable secondary or primary market yields for similar instruments issued by comparable companies increase materially or risk premiums required in the market between smaller companies, such as the Company’s borrowers, and those for which market yields are observable increase materially. The majority of the Company’s investments are in the form of participation interests, in financing facilities originated by one of the Company’s sub-advisors. Accordingly, the Company’s counterparty for investments in participation interests generally will be the respective sub-advisor or its affiliate. The Company will not have a contract with the underlying borrower and therefore, in the event of default, will not have the ability to directly seek recovery against the collateral and instead will have to seek recovery through the Company’s sub-advisor counterparty, which increases the risk of full recovery. These risks may be further exacerbated by the adverse impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had and is expected to continue to have on the business of our borrowers. In addition, as of  June 30, 2023 and  December 31, 2022, all of the Company’s investments were denominated in U.S. dollars. If the U.S. dollar rises, it may become more difficult for borrowers to make loan payments if the borrowers are operating in markets where the local currencies are depreciating relative the U.S. dollar.

15

 

In addition, certain of the Company’s investments in loans contain a PIK interest provision. These investments may expose the Company to higher risks, including an increased risk of potential loss because PIK interest results in an increase in the size of the outstanding loan balance. The Company may also be exposed to the risk that it may be more difficult to value the investments because the continuing accrual of interest requires continuing subjective judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of the underlying collateral. To the extent the loan is structured as a PIK interest-only loan, the probability and magnitude of a loss on the Company’s investment may increase.

At  June 30, 2023, the Company’s largest loan by value was $42,648,413 or 16.0% of the fair value of the Company's total investments and provides for PIK interest, with principal and interest due at maturity. The Company’s five largest loans by value comprised 42.1% of the Company’s portfolio at  June 30, 2023. Participation in loans amounted to 53.7% of the fair value of the Company’s total portfolio at  June 30, 2023.

Participations

The majority of the Company’s investments are in the form of participation interests (“Participations”). Participations are interests in financing facilities originated by one of the Company’s sub-advisors. Participations may be interests in one specific loan or trade finance transaction, several loans or trade finance transactions under a facility, or may be interests in an entire facility. The Company’s rights under Participations include, without limitation, all corresponding rights in payments, collateral, guaranties, and any other security interests obtained by the respective sub-advisor in the underlying financing facilities.

Interest Receivable

Depending on the specific terms of the Company’s investments, interest earned by the Company is payable either monthly, quarterly, or, in the case of most trade finance investments, at maturity. In addition, certain of the Company’s investments in term loans accrue deferred interest, which is not payable until the maturity of the loans. Accrued deferred interest included in the interest receivable balances as of  June 30, 2023 and  December 31, 2022 amounted to approximately $2,047,000 and $2,047,000, respectively. The Company’s interest receivable balances at  June 30, 2023 and   December 31, 2022 are recorded at net realizable value.

Trade Finance

Trade finance encompasses a variety of lending structures that support the export, import or sale of goods between producers and buyers in various countries and across various jurisdictions. The strategy is most prevalent in the financing of commodities. The Company’s Participations in trade finance positions typically fall into two broad categories: pre-export financing and receivable/inventory financing. Pre-export financing represents advances to borrowers based on proven orders from buyers. Receivable/inventory financing represents advances on borrowers’ eligible receivable and inventory balances. For trade finance, the structure and terms of the facility underlying the Company’s Participations vary according to the nature of the transaction being financed. The structure can take the form of a revolver with multiple draw requests and maturity of up to one year based on collateral and performance requirements. The structure can also be specific to the individual transaction being financed, which typically have shorter durations of 60 – 180 days. With respect to underwriting, particular consideration is given to the following:

● nature of the goods or transaction being financed,

● the terms associated with the sale and repayment of the goods,

● the execution risk associated with producing, storing and shipment of the goods,

● the financial and performance profile of both the borrower and end buyer(s),

● the underlying advance rate and subsequent Loan to Value (“LTV”) associated with lending against the goods that serve to secure the facility or transaction,

● collateral and financial controls (collection accounts and inventory possession),

● third party inspections and insurance, and

● the region, country or jurisdiction in which the financing is being completed.

Collateral varies by transaction, but is typically raw or finished goods inventory, and/or receivables. In the case of pre-export finance, the transaction is secured by purchase orders from buyers or offtake contracts, which are agreements between a buyer and seller to purchase/sell a future product.

Terms depend on the nature of the facility or transaction being financed. As such, they depend on the credit profile of the underlying financing, as well as the speed and detail associated with the request for financing. Interest can be paid as often as monthly or quarterly on revolving facilities (one year in duration) or at maturity when dealing with specific transactions with shorter duration, which is the case for the majority of the Company’s trade finance positions. At times, settlement can be delayed due to documentation, shipment, transportation or port clearing issues, delays associated with the end buyer or off-taker assuming possession, possible changes to contract or offtake terms, and the aggregation of settlement of multiple individual transactions. Conversely, at times payments are made ahead of schedule, as transactions either clear faster than expected, borrowers decide to prepay or pay down ahead of schedule, counterparties clear multiple individual transactions in one settlement, or less expensive financing is secured by the borrower.

On occasion, the Company may receive notice from the respective sub-advisor that a borrower or counterparty to a financing facility underlying one of the Company’s Participations intends to pay ahead of schedule or in one lump sum (settling multiple draw requests all at once). Depending on timing and the ability to redeploy these funds, combined with projected inflows of fund capital, these outsize payments can negatively impact the Company’s performance. In these situations, the credit profile of the borrower, and the transaction in general, is reviewed with the sub-advisor and a request may be made to either stagger payments, where at all possible, or request that payment only be made at the end of that specific financial quarter. These requests or accommodations, which happen very rarely, will only be made where the Company has strong comfort in and around the credit profile of the transaction or borrower.

Short Term Investments

Short term investments are defined by the Company as investments that generally meet the standard underwriting guidelines for trade finance and term loan transactions and that also have the following characteristics: (1) maturity of less than one year, (2) loans to borrowers to whom, at the time of funding, the Company does not expect to re-lend. Impact data is not tracked for short term investments.

Warrants

Certain investments, including loans and participations, may carry equity warrants, which allow the Company to buy shares of the portfolio company at a given price, which the Company may exercise at its discretion during the life of the portfolio company. The Company’s goal is to ultimately dispose of such equity interests and realize gains upon the disposition of such interests. However, these warrants and equity interests are generally illiquid and it may be difficult for the Company to dispose of them. In addition, the Company expects that any warrants or other return enhancements received when the Company makes or invests in loans may require several years to appreciate in value and may not appreciate at all.

(4) The inputs were weighted based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.

The significant unobservable Level 3 inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments are market yields used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investments, which include both future principal and interest payments. Significant increases in market yields would result in significantly lower fair value measurements. In addition, a significant decrease in future cash flows is expected to be received from the underlying investments due to a projected decrease in results of operations and cash flows from the underlying investments, would result in significantly lower fair value measurements.

Note 5. Contingencies and Related Parties

Agreements

Advisory Agreement

The current term of the Second Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2018, between the Company and the Advisor, (the “Advisory Agreement”) ends on February 25, 2024, subject to an unlimited number of one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the Company and the Advisor.

Asset management fees payable to the Advisor are remitted quarterly in arrears and are equal to 0.50% (2.00% per annum) of Gross Asset Value, as defined in the Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Advisor. Asset management fees are paid to the Advisor in exchange for fund management and administrative services. Although the Advisor manages, on the Company’s behalf, many of the risks associated with global investments in developing economies, management fees do not include the cost of any hedging instruments or insurance policies that may be required to appropriately manage the Company’s risk.

22

 

If certain financial goals are reached by the Company, the Company is required to pay the Advisor an incentive fee that is comprised of two parts: (i) a subordinated fee on net investment income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains. The subordinated incentive fee on income is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and is based upon the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. No subordinated incentive fee is earned by the Advisor in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the quarterly preferred return rate of 1.50% (6.00% annualized) (the “Preferred Return”). In any quarter, all of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the quarterly Preferred Return, but is less than or equal to 1.875% (7.50% annualized) at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, is payable to the Advisor. For any quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 1.875% on its net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, the subordinated incentive fee on income equals 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income.

An incentive fee on capital gains will be earned on investments sold and shall be determined and payable to the Advisor in arrears as of the end of each calendar year. The incentive fee on capital gains is equal to 20% of the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees on capital gains. The Company had no capital gains and therefore did not accrue an incentive fee on capital gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Furthermore, the Advisor determined to voluntarily waive all incentive fees that may become due and payable to the Advisor for 2023.

Repurchase agreement

On November 3, 2022, the Company entered into a transaction with an unrelated financial institution, whereby, it sold a $5.0 million participation interest in one of its term loan positions and agreed to repurchase the participation 135 days after the transaction date at a price equal to the sum of the original sales price plus accrued interest calculated at a simple 10% annualized rate. During the three months ended March, 31, 2023, the Company's repurchase deadline was extended to October 2023. The terms of the agreement were amended and no longer require the participation to be recorded as an asset or the resulting obligation to be recorded as a liability. The transaction is more appropriately deemed to be a put option requiring the Company to repurchase the participation at the option of the buyer at a future fixed price while the buyer is no longer obligated to sell the participation to the Company. The resulting fair value of the put option to reacquire $4,447,351 of Grupo Surpapel is deemed to be $0 as of June 30, 2023, as the fair value of the participation approximates the price at which the Company is required to repurchase the asset when the put option is exercised. Therefore, it is not recorded as a liability as of June 30, 2023. No gain or loss has been recognized with respect to this transaction. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $226,742 in interest expense related to this obligation.

Transactions

For the three months ended  June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Advisor earned $1,383,156 and $1,655,975, respectively, in asset management fees and $0 and $1,259,703, respectively, in incentive fees. 

For the six months ended  June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Advisor earned $2,788,001 and $3,345,935 , respectively, in asset management fees and $0 and $2,155,581, respectively, in incentive fees.

As of  June 30, 2023 and  December 31, 2022, amounts due from affiliates on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities totaling $513,826 and $0, respectively were due to the pending allocations of principal and interest payments that were received by the affiliates.

Note 8. Unit Capital

As of  June 30, 2023, the Company had six classes of units: Class A, Class C, Class I, Class W, Class Y and Class Z units. The unit classes have been sold with different upfront sales commissions and dealer manager fees as well as different ongoing distribution fees, dealer manager fees and/or service fees with respect to certain classes of units, including a distribution fee with respect to Class C units, an ongoing dealer manager fee with respect to Class I and Class W units, and an ongoing service fee with respect to Class W units. As of  June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a liability in the aggregate amount of $344,000 for the estimated future amount of ongoing distribution fees, dealer manager fees and service fees payable. The estimated liability as of  June 30, 2023 is calculated based on a NAV per Class C, Class I and Class W units of $5.652 with a distribution fee of 0.80% for Class C units, an ongoing dealer manager fee of 0.50% for Class I units, and ongoing aggregate dealer and service fees of 0.75% for Class W units, per annum applied to the NAV, during the expected period that Class C, Class W and Class I units remain outstanding, and discounted using an annual rate of 4%. All units participate in the income and expenses of the Company on a pro-rata basis based on the number of units outstanding. The following table is a summary of unit activity during the six months ended June 30, 2023:

	Units										Units
	Outstanding		Units Issued		Units			Units			Outstanding
	as of		under Distribution Reinvestment Plan		Exchanged			Repurchased			as of

Total		47,639,086		156,194		—			(16,922	)		47,778,358

156,194 units were issued under the DRP at a value of approximately $1,063,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and no units were sold pursuant to the Company's private placement. 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the amount of units issued through the DRP by class were $491,720, $263,353, $302,386, and $5,063 for Class A units, Class C units, Class I units and for Class Y units, respectively.

Beginning June 11, 2014, the Company commenced a unit repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may conduct quarterly unit repurchases of up to 5% of the weighted average number of outstanding units in any 12-month period to allow the Company’s unitholders, who have held units for a minimum of one year, to sell their units back to the Company at a price equal to the most recently determined NAV per unit for each class of units, as most recently disclosed by the Company in a public filing with the SEC at the time of repurchase.

The unit repurchase program includes numerous restrictions, including a one-year holding period, that limit the ability of the Company’s unitholders to sell their units. Unless the Company’s board of managers determines otherwise, the Company will limit the number of units to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of units that can be repurchased with the proceeds the Company receives from the sale of units under the Company’s DRP. At the sole discretion of the Company’s board of managers, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the repayment or liquidation of investments as of the end of the applicable quarter to repurchase units.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company fulfilled repurchase requests for a total of 16,922 units at a weighted average repurchase price per unit of $6.84 for an aggregate repurchase price of $115,711. These repurchases were approved and effective as of December 31, 2022, but the repurchase payments were made during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Given that the Company had not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 with the SEC as of March 31, 2023, the Company temporarily suspended the private placement, the DRP and the unit repurchase program effective April 1, 2023. The Company anticipates that it will lift the suspensions sometime after this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023 have been filed with the SEC.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a liability in the aggregate amount of $435,000 for the estimated future amount of ongoing distribution fees, dealer manager fees and service fees payable. The estimated liability as of June 30, 2022 is calculated based on a net asset value per Class C, Class I and Class W units of $7.049 with a distribution fee of 0.80% for Class C units, an ongoing dealer manager fee of 0.50% for Class I units, and ongoing aggregate dealer and service fees of 0.75% for Class W units, per annum applied to the net asset value, during the expected period that Class C, Class W and Class I units remain outstanding, and discounted using an annual rate of 4%. All units participate in the income and expenses of the Company on a pro-rata basis based on the number of units outstanding.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the amount of units issued through the private placement for Class Y units were $224,813.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the amounts of units issued through the DRP by class were $1,645,109, $778,604, $1,075,471 and $15,992 for Class A units, Class C units, Class I units and for Class Y units, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company fulfilled repurchase requests for a total of 499,293 units at a weighted average repurchase price per unit of $7.09 for an aggregate repurchase price of $3,538,544. As of June 30, 2022, $1,725,663 of these repurchase requests were pending processing and were completed by the Company in July 2022. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, eligible repurchase requests exceeded the limitations of the Company’s unit repurchase program described above and the requests were fulfilled on a pro rata basis, such that the Company repurchased approximately 245,000 units or  6.47% of eligible repurchase requests (based on the number of units submitted for repurchase), and approximately 3,062,000, or 93.532% of eligible repurchase requests (based on the number of units submitted for repurchase) were not redeemed. Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s unit repurchase program, the unsatisfied portion of repurchase requests that were not fulfilled at quarter-end were carried over to the next quarter and treated as a request for repurchase at the next quarter-end repurchase date, unless the repurchase request was withdrawn.

In March 2022, the Company’s board of managers authorized the declaration of distributions for April and May of 2022. These distributions were calculated based on unitholders of record for each day in an amount equal to $0.00136605 per unit per day (less the distribution fee with respect to Class C units, the ongoing dealer manager fee with respect to certain Class I units and Class W units and the ongoing service fee with respect to Class W units). On an annualized basis, these distributions are equal to approximately 7.0% of the NAV per unit of $7.123, determined as of March 31, 2022. In May 2022, the Company’s board of managers authorized the declaration of distributions for June of 2022. This distribution was calculated based on unitholders of record for each day in an amount equal to $0.00135186 per unit per day (less the distribution fee with respect to Class C units, the ongoing dealer manager fee with respect to certain Class I units and Class W units and the ongoing service fee with respect to Class W units). On an annualized basis, these distributions are equal to approximately 7.0% of the NAV per unit of $7.049, determined as of March 31, 2022. 

Note 10. Financial Highlights

The following is a schedule of financial highlights of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,			June 30,

Net asset value at end of period (2)	$	5.76		$	6.89
Total return based on net asset value (3)		(0.74	)%		0.37	%
Net assets at end of period	$	275,248,067		$	328,279,441
Units Outstanding at end of period		47,778,358			47,643,333
Ratio/Supplemental data (annualized) (3):
Ratio of net investment income to average net assets		3.84	%		6.12	%
Ratio of total expenses to average net assets		5.98	%		4.67	%

1 The per unit data was derived by using the weighted average units outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, which were 47,740,968 and 47,719,530, respectively.

2 For financial statement reporting purposes under GAAP, as of  June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a liability in the amount of $344,000 and $420,000, respectively, for the estimated future amount of Class C distribution fees, Class I dealer manager fees, Class W dealer manager fees and Class W services fees payable. This liability is reflected in this table, which is consistent with the financial statements. While the Company follows GAAP for financial reporting purposes, it has determined that deducting the accrual for the estimated future amount of Class C distribution fees, Class I dealer manager fees, Class W dealer manager fees and Class W services fees may not be the appropriate approach for determining the NAV used on the quarterly investor statements and for other purposes. The Company believes that not making such deduction for purposes of NAV determination is consistent with the industry standard and is more appropriate since the Company intends for the NAV to reflect the estimated value on the date that the Company determines its NAV.

3 The Company’s net investment income has been annualized assuming consistent results over a full fiscal year, however, this may not be indicative of actual results over a full fiscal year.

Overview

We make impact investments in SMEs that provide the opportunity to achieve both competitive financial returns and positive measurable impact. We were organized as a Delaware limited liability company on April 30, 2012. We have operated and intend to continue to operate our business in a manner that will permit us to maintain our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We use the proceeds raised from the issuance of units to invest in SMEs through local market sub-advisors in a diversified portfolio of financial assets, including direct loans, loan participations, convertible debt instruments, trade finance, structured credit and preferred and common equity investments. A substantial portion of our assets consists of collateralized private debt instruments, which we believe offer opportunities for competitive risk-adjusted returns and income generation. We are externally managed and advised by TriLinc Advisors, LLC, or the Advisor. The Advisor is an investment advisor registered with the SEC.

28

Our business strategy is to generate competitive financial returns and positive economic, social and environmental impact by providing financing to SMEs, which we define as those business having less than 500 employees, primarily in developing economies. To a lesser extent, we may also make impact investments in companies that may not meet our technical definition of SMEs due to a larger number of employees but that also provide the opportunity to achieve both competitive financial returns and positive measurable impact. We generally expect that such investments will have similar investment characteristics as SMEs as defined by us. Our style of investment is referred to as impact investing, which J.P. Morgan Global Research and Rockefeller Foundation in a 2010 report called “an emerging alternative asset class” and defined as investing with the intent to create positive impact beyond financial return. We believe it is possible to generate competitive financial returns while creating positive, measurable impact. We measure the economic, social and environmental impact of our investments using industry-standard metrics, including the Impact Reporting and Investment Standards. Through our investments in SMEs, we intend to enable job creation and stimulate economic growth.

We commenced the Offering on February 25, 2013. Pursuant to the Offering, we were offering on a continuous basis up to $1.5 billion in units of our limited liability company interest, consisting of up to $1.25 billion of units in the primary offering consisting of Class A and Class C units at initial offering prices of $10.00 and $9.576 per unit, respectively, and Class I units at $9.025 per unit, and up to $250 million of units pursuant to our DRP. In May 2012, the Advisor purchased 22,161 Class A units for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000. On June 11, 2013, we satisfied the minimum offering requirement of $2,000,000 when the Sponsor purchased 321,330 Class A units for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,900,000 and we commenced operations. The Offering terminated on March 31, 2017. Through the termination of the Offering, we raised approximately $361,776,000 in gross proceeds, including approximately $13,338,000 raised through our DRP.

Upon termination of the primary portion of the Offering, we registered $75 million in Class A, Class C and Class I units to continue to be offered pursuant to our DRP to the investors who have purchased units in the Offering. Units issued pursuant to our DRP are being offered at the price equal to the NAV per unit of each class of units, as most recently disclosed by the Company in a public filing with the SEC at the time of reinvestment. Our DRP was amended, effective May 25, 2020, to allow holders of all classes of units other than Class Z units to participate, including holders who purchased units in our private placements. The offering must be registered or exempt from registration in every state in which we offer or sell units. If the offering is not exempt from registration, the required registration generally is for a period of one year. Therefore, we may have to stop selling units in any state in which the registration is not renewed annually and the offering is not otherwise exempt from registration.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we issued 156,194 of our units pursuant to our DRP for gross proceeds of approximately $1,063,000. As of June 30, 2023, $21,147,000 in units remained available for sale pursuant to the DRP, which is temporarily suspended. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 8. Unit Capital" for additional information regarding the suspension.

From our inception through June 30, 2023, we have issued an aggregate of 56,402,184 of our units, including 8,178,537 units issued under our DRP, for gross proceeds of approximately $515,421,000 including approximately $66,896,000 reinvested under our DRP (before dealer manager fees of approximately $4,801,000 and selling commissions of $16,862,000), for net proceeds of $493,755,000.

Outlook

Economic conditions globally remain challenging, particularly for advanced economies, due to inflation and the dramatic rise in interest rates. Additionally, many of the Company’s borrowers were negatively affected by higher operating costs and supply chain issues that began in 2020 with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which were further exacerbated by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and China’s “Zero Covid” policy during 2022, with supply side conditions not normalizing until year-end 2022. The combination of these effects, in many cases, had devastating and long-lasting impacts on the businesses, financial conditions and results of operations of borrower companies. Together, these factors have made it more difficult for borrowers to repay their obligations to the Company in a timely manner or at all, resulting in the Company experiencing inconsistent cash flows. The Company believes that the central issue driving results is the fact that many borrower companies are struggling to recover from the compound impact of more than three years of economic hardship, while current macroeconomic conditions make it even more difficult for borrower companies to achieve a rapid and significant recovery in operating performance. The Company does not expect any near-term changes to the impact of the macroeconomic environment on the Company’s borrowers. Indeed, although the Company’s NAV per unit decreased by $0.15 as of June 30, 2023, compared to the NAV per unit as of December 31, 2022, the Company’s June 30, 2023 NAV is a reflection of the cumulative effect of 14 consecutive quarters of the adverse economic impact of COVID-19 and its ramifications, including persistent supply chain and cash flow issues, on the Company’s borrowers.

The combination of weakened borrower companies, still attempting to recover from the historically bad 2020-2022 pandemic/broken supply chain period, and weakened demand in the current macro-economic environment, has made it challenging for the Company’s borrowers to repay their obligations to the Company, as discussed above. As a result of the inconsistent cash flows generated from the Company’s existing portfolio, the Company has experienced decreased liquidity, which, among other things, may impact the Company’s ability to pay future distributions to its unitholders or meet other Company obligations. Additionally, due to an event of default triggered under the Company’s credit facilities as a result of the resignation of the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm in February 2023, which rendered the Company unable to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Waiver and Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2023, pursuant to which the Company agreed to accelerate its repayment of the $18 million outstanding under the credit facilities. Specifically, the Company agreed to repay the amounts outstanding under the credit facilities in full by August 31, 2023. Accordingly, the Company expects that in the near term it will experience additional significant constraints on its liquidity. As a result, the Company was not able to pay distributions for April and May until subsequent to the three months ended June 30, 2023 and has not paid any monthly distributions for periods subsequent to May 2023. The Company anticipates that it may not be able to pay regular monthly distributions in the coming quarters and that the suspensions of the Company’s unit repurchase program and distribution reinvestment plan, both of which were suspended effective April 1, 2023, will likely be extended for a significant period of time. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Subsequent Events” for more information. The Company intends to pursue multiple strategies in order to address its temporary liquidity needs, which may include the sale of all or a portion of certain investments, seeking to obtain new credit facilities and the pursuit of additional financing transactions as needed to supplement cash flows.

Investments

Our investment objectives are to provide our unitholders current income, capital preservation, and modest capital appreciation. These objectives are achieved primarily through SME trade finance and term loan financing, while employing rigorous risk-mitigation and due diligence practices, and transparently measuring and reporting the economic, social and environmental impacts of our investments. The majority of our investments are senior and other collateralized loans to SMEs with established, profitable businesses in developing economies. To a lesser extent, we may also make investments in financing to companies that may not meet our technical definition of SMEs due, for example, to the companies having a larger number of employees, but that also provide the opportunity to achieve both competitive financial returns and positive measurable impact. Furthermore, we may also make investments in developed economies, including the United States. With the sub-advisors that our Advisor has contracted with to assist the Advisor in implementing the Company’s investment program, we expect to provide growth capital financing generally ranging in size from $5-20 million per transaction for direct SME loans and $500,000 to $15 million for trade finance transactions. We seek to protect and grow investor capital by: (1) targeting countries with favorable economic growth and investor protections; (2) partnering with sub-advisors with significant experience in local markets; (3) focusing on creditworthy lending targets who have at least 3-year operating histories and demonstrated cash flows enabling loan repayment; (4) making primarily debt investments, backed by collateral and borrower guarantees; (5) employing best practices in our due diligence and risk mitigation processes; and (6) monitoring our portfolio on an ongoing basis. By providing additional liquidity to growing small businesses, we believe we support both economic growth and the expansion of the global middle class.

Investments will continue to be primarily credit facilities and participations in credit facilities to developing economy SMEs, including trade finance and term loans, through the Advisor’s team of professional sub-advisors with a local presence in the markets where they invest. As of June 30, 2023, the majority of our investments were in the form of participations and we expect that future investments will continue to be primarily participations. We typically provide financing that is collateralized, has a short to medium-term maturity and is self-liquidating through the repayment of principal. Our counterparty for participations generally will be the respective sub-advisor or its affiliate that originates the loan in which we are participating. We will not have a contract with the underlying borrower and therefore, in the event of default, we will not have the ability to directly seek recovery against the collateral and instead will have to seek recovery through our sub-advisor counterparty, which increases the risk of full recovery.

Certain investments, including loans and participations, may carry equity warrants on borrowers, which allow us to buy shares of the portfolio company at a given price, which we will exercise at our discretion during the life of the portfolio company. Our goal is to ultimately dispose of such equity interests and realize gains upon the disposition of such interests. However, these warrants and equity interests are illiquid and it may be difficult for the Company to dispose of them. In addition, we expect that any warrants or other return enhancements received when we make or invest in loans may require several years to appreciate in value and may not appreciate at all.

LIBOR

In July 2017, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR. On March 15, 2022, President Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2022 into law, which includes the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act, containing legislation related to the transition away from LIBOR. This legislation is intended to establish a uniform process for replacing LIBOR in existing contracts and securities that continue after the cessation of LIBOR and do not contain clearly defined or practicable fallback provisions. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. 

LIBOR was phased out in June 2023, and new contracts ceased to be written using USD LIBOR at the beginning of 2022. As of June 30, 2023, 9.1% of the fair value of the Company’s total investments bore interest at floating rates based on LIBOR, with an alternative rate to be designated by the Company in the event that LIBOR is unavailable.

The Company's legacy loans transitioned from LIBOR to Synthetic LIBOR in July 2023 and this rate is expected to stay in effect until September 30, 2024. There can be no assurances as to whether this alternative rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. We intend to monitor the developments with respect to the phasing out of LIBOR and work with our sub-advisors to seek to ensure the transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our investments, but we can provide no assurances regarding the continuing impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.

30

Revenues

Since we anticipate that the majority of our assets will continue to consist of trade finance instruments and term loans, we expect that the majority of our revenue will continue to be generated in the form of interest. Our senior and subordinated debt investments may bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable monthly, quarterly or semi-annually. In some cases, some of our investments provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest generally is due at the maturity date. In addition, we generate revenue in the form of acquisition and other fees in connection with some transactions. Original issue discounts and market discounts or premiums are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income. Dividend income, if any, will be recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of asset management fees and expenses reimbursable to our Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company invested approximately $11.6 million across seven separate portfolio companies, including three new borrowers. The Company's investments consisted of senior secured trade finance participations, senior secured term loan participations, senior secured term loans, other investments, and equity warrants. Additionally, we received proceeds from repayments of investment principal of approximately $16.7 million.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s investment portfolio included 36 and 36 companies, respectively, and the fair value of our portfolio was comprised of the following:

Watch List Investments

The Company monitors and reviews the performance of its investments and if the Company determines that there are any significant changes in the credit and collection risk of an investment, the investment will be placed on the Watch List. The Company places an investment on the Watch List when it believes the investment has material performance weakness driven by company-specific and macro events that may affect the timing of future cash flows. For all Watch List investments, the Company evaluates: (i) liquidation value of collateral; (ii) rights and remedies enforceable against the borrower; (iii) any credit insurance and/or guarantees; (iv) market, sector and macro events and (v) other relevant information (e.g., third party purchase of the borrower and potential or ongoing litigation). At June 30, 2023, sixteen portfolio companies were on non-accrual status with an aggregate fair value of approximately $97,986,062 or 36.9% of the fair value of the Company’s total investments.

Investments through Helios Investment Partners, LLP (“Helios”) as the Sub-Advisor

Trustco Group Holdings Ltd

In January 2017, the Company purchased a $15,000,000 Participation in a term loan facility with Trustco Group Holdings Ltd (“Trustco”), a Namibia based group operating a diversified set of business lines including property development, financial services (insurance, retail banking), education, and diamond mining. Repayment on this position has been slower than originally anticipated, largely due to a slowdown in the local real estate market. Helios has been actively working with the borrower to restructure the facility. As this has proved challenging, Helios issued a notice of default and acceleration notice to Trustco along with launching initial legal proceedings on April 15, 2020. A demand has also been made against Elisenheim as guarantor in respect of Trustco’s obligations to Helios. In addition to recourse against Trustco, Helios has the benefit of a security interest in property owned by the guarantor. During the fourth quarter of 2021, an initial judgment was issued in Helios’ favor in the UK and Trustco appealed the court’s decision and the requirements to deposit the full outstanding balance into an escrow account. This appeal was dismissed in February 2022 and we are now seeking enforcement of the UK judgment in Namibia, which is proceeding. Court proceedings continued in both the UK against Trustco and in Namibia for the Elisenheim property. A case management meeting for the UK Trustco case is expected by year end 2023. For Elisenheim, trial preparation has commenced, following a pre-trial conference in September 2023. The fair value decreased by approximately $147,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily  as a result of the Namibian dollar weakening against the USD, thus affecting the potential value of the property collateral and additional financial weakness in Trustco.

Helios Maritime I

Between July 2015 and December 2017, the Company purchased six Participations totaling $15,300,000 in a term loan facility with Helios Maritime I (“Helios Maritime”), a company setup for the purposes of on-lending to Starz Investment Company, Ltd., a Nigerian shipping and logistics company for the purpose of acquiring a handling tug vessel. Repayment on this position has been slower than originally anticipated due to delays in acquiring a long-term contract, which was further prolonged based on challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and the volatility in oil prices. The borrower has pledged a marine vessel as collateral in support of its repayment obligations under this facility.

The borrower received a term sheet subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2021 to support its performance against its obligations, which requires an $8 million payment in exchange for a partial forgiveness of debt and restructured amortization profile. An extension was granted to the borrower to meet this requirement and while the borrower was able to secure a loan facility from a local bank for the payment, it was funded in Namibian naira, which is a difficult currency to convert to USD. As of June 30, 2023, approximately 3 billion Niara were converted and paid, completing Tranche 1 requirements. Final terms of the full restructuring have been agreed upon, with an expected close in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company subsequently began to service the remaining loan in Tranche 2 with a payment in September 2023. 

Investments through The International Investment Group L.L.C. (“IIG”) as the Sub-Advisor

IIG was the sub-advisor with respect to certain investments that the Company made in South America, including five of the 20 Watch List investments as of June 30, 2023. Since June 30, 2018, the Company has discovered, among other things, that IIG failed to provide the Company with complete and accurate information with respect to the investments for which IIG was the sub-advisor and, in 2017, sold the Company a $6 million participation in a loan to Nacadie (defined below) that did not exist. In November of 2019, the SEC charged IIG with fraud and revoked IIG’s registration. Shortly thereafter, IIG ceased all operations. A fund managed by IIG, which sold most of the participations to the Company, was placed into bankruptcy in January 2020. Subsequently, the Company filed a bankruptcy claim against the remaining assets of the estate.

The SEC charged IIG with fraud on November 21, 2019 and revoked IIG's registration as an investment adviser on November 26, 2019. On March 30, 2020, the SEC obtained a final judgment on consent that enjoins IIG from violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. On July 17, 2020, the SEC filed fraud charges against David Hu, one of IIG's co-founders, who was also charged by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York in a parallel criminal action. On January 28, 2021, David Hu pled guilty to one count of securities fraud, one count of wire fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud. On April 13, 2021, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York announced that Martin Silver, IIG's other co-founder, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit investment adviser fraud, securities fraud, and wire fraud, one count of securities fraud, and one count of wire fraud for his role in overvaluing and selling fake loans to investors so IIG could collect management and performance fees. Also on April 13, 2021, the SEC filed a civil complaint against Martin Silver, asserting several claims that involve allegations of a string of frauds perpetrated by Mr. Silver and others at IIG in order to keep IIG afloat. IIG has ceased operations and the Company does not expect to receive any further reporting from IIG with respect to its outstanding investments. The Company is taking necessary steps, including legal action in some cases, in order to ascertain as much information as possible regarding these investments.

Most of the outstanding investments for which IIG was the sub-advisor were purchased from IIG TOF B.V., a Dutch Limited Liability Company advised by IIG. On December 11, 2019, a subsidiary of the Company filed an application in Amsterdam District Court to declare IIG TOF B.V. bankrupt. As set forth in the application for the Declaration of Bankruptcy, the Company and other creditors believe they have multiple due and payable claims against IIG TOF B.V. which IIG TOF B.V. has acknowledged it is unable to pay. On January 21, 2020, the Amsterdam District Court declared IIG TOF B.V. bankrupt and appointed a Dutch law firm as liquidator. The Company is seeking recovery of amounts due and payable to the Company with respect to the Participations it acquired from IIG TOF B.V. There can be no assurances as to when or if the Company will recover the amounts to which the Company believes it is entitled. Additional information regarding Watch List investments for which IIG was the sub-advisor with a fair value equal to or greater than 1.0% of the Company's net assets as of June 30, 2023 is presented below.

Compania Argentina de Granos

Between October 2016 and February 2017, the Company purchased two Participations in a trade finance facility originated by IIG TOF B.V., with Compania Argentina de Granos (“CAGSA”), as borrower. The Company purchased the initial Participation in October 2016 for $10,000,000 and subsequently increased the Participation by another $2,500,000 in February 2017. This facility was collateralized by two export contracts. CAGSA, an Argentine company, is mainly engaged in the trading of grain and oilseed and the distribution and processing of food ingredients. Due to unfavorable weather conditions, CAGSA was unable to make delivery of toasted soybean meal under the terms of its export contracts. As a result, it failed to pay IIG its outstanding principal due on June 30, 2018.

IIG previously informed the Company that it had been in active discussions with CAGSA and other CAGSA lenders to protect its rights under the credit facility. Additionally, IIG had previously informed the Company that IIG is a member of the creditors committee, which would determine all financial and restructuring options of CAGSA, which may include additional equity infusions by the existing shareholders. In February 2019, CAGSA disclosed that it had reached a preliminary settlement with its creditors. The administrator of IIG TOF B.V.’s bankruptcy proceedings in the Netherlands notified the Company that the settlement discussions with CAGSA’s creditors had resumed and were close to being finalized. The administrator indicated that the terms of the settlement being discussed are different from the terms that had been part of the preliminary settlement that had been reached in February 2019. The settlement is expected to result in the assumption of the entirety of CAGSA’s debt by its parent company, Molinos Cañuelas (“MolCa”), with a portion to be repaid over a ten-year period and the remaining portion to be repaid over a period of up to ten years from the proceeds of the sale of 62.5% of the outstanding interests in MolCa, which are expected to be pledged to the unsecured creditors of CAGSA and MolCa as part of the proposed settlement. The proposed changes to the settlement terms were less favorable to the Company with respect to its Participations than the terms of the preliminary settlement that had been reached in February 2019 (but was never finalized) and therefore, had a negative impact on the valuation of this investment, resulting in a reduction of approximately $180,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. On September 27, 2021, MolCa and CAGSA filed for debt restructuring in the Argentinian bankruptcy court. On March 11, 2022, IIG TOF BV filed claims on behalf of the Company for the court to recognize the amounts due. The terms of the restructuring had been widely pre-approved by the creditors group prior to the filing. Therefore, the Company does not expect significant changes to the restructuring plan other than a delay its implementation to the end of 2023.

Frigorifico Regional Industrias Alimentarias, S.A., Sucursal Uruguay and Algodonera Avellaneda S.A.

Between June 2016 and July 2016, the Company purchased two Participations in a trade finance facility originated by IIG TOF B.V., with Frigorifico Regional Industrias Alimentarias, S.A., Sucursal Uruguay (“FRIAR”), an Argentine company that produces, processes and exports beef, as the borrower. In June 2017, IIG called a technical event of default due to non-payment by FRIAR. In an effort to seek repayment from FRIAR, IIG filed the promissory notes for FRIAR in the commercial court in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In March 2017, the Company purchased a Participation in a trade finance facility originated by IIG TOF B.V., with Algodonera Avellaneda S.A. (“Algodonera”) as the borrower for $6,000,000. The loan agreement states that Vicentin has guaranteed the payments to be made by Algodonera under the facility. Algodonera is an Argentinian vertically integrated cotton business. IIG informed the Company that in June 2017, IIG called a technical default on Algodonera under the facility due to nonpayment of interest and on Vicentin under the payment guarantee due to the breach of informational covenants. Thereafter, IIG made a filing against Vicentin and Algodonera in the commercial court in Buenos Aires, Argentina on July 4, 2017.

In August 2019, the Company was informed by IIG’s legal counsel that the commercial court proceedings with FRIAR and Algodonera had been terminated due to the parties having reached a settlement. The Company obtained evidence that the settlement proceeds for all participant holders had been placed in an escrow account with a New York law firm. In January 2022, the largest participant holder with respect to claims against the escrow account filed an action in New York district court to release these funds to all the participant holders. In August of 2023, the court awarded the Company $4.6 million in proceeds from the escrow account. The creditors are now working with the IIG TOF B.V. Liquidator on further claims to satisfy the remaining debt owed.

Sancor Cooperativas Unidas Limitada

In April 2016 the Company purchased two Participations in a trade finance facility originated by IIG TOF B.V., with Sancor Cooperativas Unidas Limitada (“Sancor”), an Argentine company that distributes dairy products, as the borrower. IIG had worked with Sancor to restructure the existing loan and extended the maturity to July 29, 2019, with an annual renewal option. Since February 2019, Sancor has announced the sale of certain of its assets, which allowed it to make some payments to creditors and maintain operations, but the Company has not received any payment as a result of those asset sales. As noted above, IIG has ceased operations and the Company has taken legal action in an attempt to recover amounts due. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company learned, in connection with certain court proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York regarding a fund advised by IIG, that funds had been received in a New York bank account controlled by an affiliate of IIG and that such funds may include prior debt service payments by Sancor related to the Company’s interests in the Sancor trade finance facility. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company was able to obtain control of the assets in the bank account and determined that they should primarily be allocated to outstanding interest. Sancor is engaged in ongoing negotiations with its lenders regarding a debt restructuring, including discussions with the administrator of IIG TOF B.V.’s bankruptcy proceedings in the Netherlands. The Company is continuing to actively monitor this process and seek an assignment of the rights to the loans. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received interest payments of approximately $700,000 and principal payments of approximately $198,000 from the borrower.

IIG Trade Opportunities Fund B.V. Receivable

In March 2017, the Company purchased a Participation from IIG TOF B.V. in what the Company at that time believed to be a trade finance facility originated by IIG TOF B.V., with Nacadie Commercial S.A. (“Nacadie”) as the borrower. The Company purchased the Participation in March 2017 for $6,000,000. In connection with the Company’s review of this investment during the third quarter of 2018, IIG informed the Company that IIG had misapplied the funds the Company had transmitted at the time the Company made this investment. As a result, IIG offered to refund the Company’s investment amount, including all accrued interest. However, IIG did not repay the Company for this Participation. As noted above, the Company knows that the Nacadie facility in which it purchased this Participation did not exist and the Company considers this asset to be a receivable from IIG TOF B.V. rather than a Participation in a trade finance facility.

As noted above, IIG TOF B.V. has been declared bankrupt in the Netherlands, and the Company is seeking to recover amounts to which it is entitled through the bankruptcy proceedings. The Company has applied a discount to the fair value based on the risk created by the uncertainty of the ultimate resolution of the Company’s attempt to recover amounts to which it is entitled through the bankruptcy proceedings in the Netherlands.

Investments through TransAsia Private Capital Ltd. (“TransAsia”) as the Sub-Advisor

Triton Metallics Pte. Ltd.

In November 2019, the Company made an investment in Triton Metallics Pte. Ltd. (“Triton”) totaling $16,456,270 in a trade finance facility. Triton is a Singapore based diversified commodities trading company. TransAsia informed the Company in early 2020 that due to the COVID-19 pandemic there have been constrained trading volumes. As a result, TransAsia then began working with the borrower to restructure the facility and a restructuring agreement was executed on August 17, 2020. We further amended the facility in June 2021, which reduced the interest rate from 11.5% to 6% PIK-only for a period of two years, in order to give Triton additional flexibility as it manages its business amidst the resurgence of the pandemic in Asia. The unpaid interest of $1,503,463 under the old trade finance facility has been capitalized and added to the outstanding principal balance as of the date of the new agreement. During the period of July 1, 2020 through August 16, 2020, $241,816 of interest income was recognized prior to the date the loan was restructured. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the borrower was able to modestly increase its trading business and is expected to resume debt service to the Company in late 2023.

Vikudha Malaysia Sdn Bhd

In March 2017, the Company provided a $15,000,000 term loan facility to Vikudha Malaysia Sdn Bhd (“Vikudha”). Vikudha is a trading and manufacturing company, founded in 2007, principally involved in procurement of fast-moving consumer goods and agricultural related products. The borrower company had strong performance through year-end 2019 and then was significantly impacted by COVID-19 and was unable to meet scheduled debt repayments due to commence. The facility was successfully restructured in November 2020, and able to service the debt through when there was a resurgence of the pandemic in the Asia region and global supply chains continued to be disrupted. In June 2021, a six-month final maturity extension was granted to June 2023. During the second quarter of 2022, the local office of one of Vikudha’s local bank lenders filed a winding up petition against the company’s Hong Kong-based parent company and loan guarantor. The wind-up petition has been postponed until November 2022 and is currently in the early stages of judicial process; however, based on the possibility of an enforcement, the Company issued a Reservation of Rights Letter to Vikudha in June 2022. In August 2022, the Company issued an Acceleration Notice to the borrower and Demand Notices to Corporate and Personal Guarantors. Once the winding up petition was granted by the Hong Kong court, the Company also filed proof of debt forms at the Hong Kong Receiver office to ensure legal rights are protected while continuing to work with the borrower on repayment of the debt. The borrower continues to seek additional equity and working capital as part of its efforts to rebuild its trading volumes; however, as this process has continued to be delayed, the probability of more negative scenarios, including ultimate liquidation, have increased resulting in a reduction in fair value to approximately $1,085,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Limas Commodities House Limited

In August 2017, the Company provided a $15,000,000 million senior secured term loan facility to Limas Commodities House Limited (“Limas”), a Hong Kong-based company 100% owned by an Indonesian entrepreneur. Limas was established as a financing SPV for PT Limas Tunggal, an Indonesian resource trader, for the purpose of gaining better access to international banking and capital markets. As a resource trading company, demand for Limas’ products were significantly affected by the global pandemic, reflected in lower shipping volume in 2020 and early 2021. The Company’s sub-advisor provided $6 million of working capital to Limas, which secured additional collateral for the sub-advisor and the Company in the form of assignment of three claims won in Korean cases totaling $15,000,000. The collateral was assigned pro-rata, adding $13.4 million to the Company’s existing collateral pool. Due to the continued impact of COVID-19, in June 2020, the Company executed an extension of final maturity to June 2023. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, PT Limas Tunggal, the corporate guarantor of the Company’s facility, entered restructuring legal proceedings in Indonesia, and as a result, the Company issued an Acceleration Notice to the borrower and a Demand Notice to the Guarantor. The restructure legal proceedings concluded during the third quarter of 2022 which extended repayment of the debt and reduced the future interest rate from 11.5% to 10%. The borrower has progressed slowly towards materially ramping up its trading activity, with expectation of active shipments taking place in the first half of 2024.

Investments through Scipion Capital, Ltd. (“Scipion”) as the Sub-Advisor

Producam SA

Between March 2018 and June 2018, the Company purchased three Participations totaling $15,986,369 in a trade finance facility with Producam SA (“Producam”), a Cameroon based cocoa and coffee exporter, as the borrower. Repayment on these Participations has been slower than originally anticipated due to short run cash flow pressure on Producam. The original sub-advisor for this facility was Africa Merchant Capital Group (“AMC”). In the third quarter of 2018, AMC informed the Company that the borrower misapplied the proceeds from the sale of certain of its inventory to finance its own cash flow needs rather than repay the facility. AMC then began working with the borrower to restructure the facility to recover amounts due. In April 2021, Scipion replaced AMC as the sub-advisor with respect to Producam and has agreed to undertake efforts to liquidate the collateral underlying the facility in order to recover amounts due to the Company and the restructuring process is finalized. Under the new agreement, the loan was restructured with the interest rate reduced from 17.5% to 9.5% for the cocoa facility and 6.0% for the coffee facility retro-actively to January 1, 2019. As part of the restructure, the Company included a PIK component which increased the principal amount. The fair value as a percentage of face value decreased during the year ended December 31, 2021 due to collections from completed cocoa and coffee shipments being slower than anticipated resulting in further decline in fair value amounting to approximately $967,000 during the year ended December 31, 2022. As all interest was capitalized as part of the amendment, no interest remains outstanding as of the date of the new agreement. During the period from April 1, 2021 through April 14, 2021 (the date the loan was restructured), $49,014 of interest income was recognized. The Company is continuing to work with the borrower to process and sell the remaining coffee, as well as pursuing a legal claim through the UK courts against the collateral manager.

Mac Z Group SARL

Between July 2016 and April 2017, the Company purchased nine Participations totaling $9,000,000 in a trade finance facility with Mac Z Group SARL (“Mac Z”), a scrap metal recycler, as the borrower. Mac Z is located in Morocco. The primary collateral securing this Participation was 1,970 tons of copper scrap. In late October 2017, Scipion’s designated collateral manager for Mac Z notified Scipion of an investigation into a 1,820 ton, approximately $13.3 million, shortage of copper scrap inventory physically held in the warehouse. The copper scrap is pledged to the Company and serves as the primary collateral for this Participation. The missing inventory led the Company to place Mac Z on the Watch List and on non-accrual status.

In addition to conducting its investigation, Scipion issued an event of default and has taken steps to enforce the corporate guarantee, personal guarantee and relevant pledges made for the benefit of Scipion with respect to the facility, which include two insurance policies. Scipion has placed a blocking notice on all of Mac Z’s bank accounts and has requested a freeze order from the Moroccan local courts on the physical assets of the company. Since the initial discovery and actions, Mac Z sold remaining inventory and the Company was paid interest of approximately $330,000 in January 2018 and $292,000 during the first week April 2018.

A judgment was received on December 18, 2017, in English court ordering the borrower and the corporate guarantor to make payment. In parallel to its recovery plan with respect to Mac Z, Scipion informed the Company that it has received a judgment in its favor with respect to its claim against the collateral manager under its professional indemnity insurance policy, which covers up to $40 million in losses. During the fourth quarter of 2020, $9,377,199 from a settlement under this insurance policy was received by the Company. The policy covered the copper scrap that was lost. The remaining copper scrap is being stripped and processed and currently expected to cover its principal value. The Company received approximately $27,000 in proceeds from the sale of the copper scrap during the first quarter of 2022 and continues to pursue options for sale of the remaining copper scrap.

Investments through Barak Fund Management Ltd. (“Barak”) as the Sub-Advisor

Multiple ICD (Kenya) Limited

In July 2017, the Company purchased a $15,000,000 Participation in a term loan facility with Multiple ICD (Kenya) Ltd ("MICD"), an inland container depot storage and warehousing company. Repayment on this position has been slower than originally anticipated due initially to unfavorable local industry dynamics at the Port of Mombasa, which were further complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Barak has been actively seeking to restructure the loan facility with MICD and its other lenders. Although progress had stalled, negotiations are currently active again. However, the loan is no longer on standstill as the lenders are requiring additional progress in order to renew it. The on-going uncertainty regarding the restructuring has continued to increase the probability that MICD may be liquidated. As a result, a negative valuation adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2023 of approximately $1.1 million was recognized.

Investments through Origin Capital Ltd. (“Origin”) as the Sub-Advisor

Agilis Partners

In 2018, the Company originally provided financing totaling approximately $10,968,000 to Agilis Partners ("Agilis"), a Ugandan company engaged in the farming, storage, processing, and trading of maize, soybean, and sunflower seeds through Scipion. This financing was refinanced into a new loan through Origin, in July 2021 as part of a broader financial restructuring. Repayment on the facility has been slower than originally anticipated due to ongoing liquidity challenges of the borrower, as well as record drought conditions in Uganda. The Company and Origin agreed to a deferral of Agilis’ March 2022 interest payment and are actively working with the borrower on solutions to increase working capital, manage other creditor relationships and improve the overall financial condition of the borrower. Origin, the borrower, and the Company are in late stages of finalizing a restructuring of the loans.

Other Investments

Usivale Industria E Commercio Ltda

In December 2013, the Company made an investment in Usivale Industria E Comercio, Ltda. (“Usivale”), a sugar processing company located in Brazil, comprised of two senior secured term loans for an aggregate loan amount of $2,500,000. During 2016, Usivale entered into a judicial recovery process that resulted in an approved repayment plan on October 7, 2016. The Company received regular annual interest payments for 2017 and 2018. Unfortunately, Usivale continued to have challenges and was not able to make any payments thereafter. Usivale is currently not complying with the payment obligations under the above mentioned judicial recovery process. The Company has been negotiating a potential restructuring of the loan to support the sustainability of Usivale, including engaging industry and financial consultants to that effect. The judge responsible for the bankruptcy proceedings of Usivale has asked the Company and Usivale to seek an agreement on a potential restructuring to be submitted to a creditors meeting to be held in June 2022. The judge overseeing the judicial restructuring urged Usivale and the Company to come to an agreement to avoid liquidation of the company. Usivale and the Company completed a settlement agreement in the second quarter of 2022. Terms of the settlement require Usivale to make an upfront payment of $10,000 and $200,000 per year for 5 years, for expected repayments totaling $1,010,000. The new settlement agreement requires assignment of new collateral that would shift the repayment risk to a receivable from SucDen, one of the world's largest traders of sugar. As the SucDen contract is Usivale's most important, execution risk on the settlement amount is expected to be lower. The first partial installment was received on January 19, 2023 with the next expected in December 2023.

  TriLinc Peru S.A.C. (formerly known as Kinder Investments, Ltd.)

In December 2018, as part of a restructuring, TriLinc assigned its loan exposure in Corporacion Prodesa S.R.L. to Kinder Investments, Ltd. (“Kinder”), a private equity investment vehicle. After a successful start with new ownership in 2019, the borrower faced significant obstacles associated with loss of business volume due to point of sale closings due to the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent rising raw material prices, challenging operating performance. From the onset of the pandemic through most of 2022, Kinder continued supporting the business with shareholder capital. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Kinder agreed to a settlement with the Company for consensual enforcement of the Company’s collateral, principally real estate, as part of a distressed sale whereby Kinder sold the underlying operating company, Prodesa, to another party.

Going forward, the Company owns a Peruvian company, TriLinc Peru S.A.C., which itself owns the real estate previously held as collateral under the prior loan agreement and is receiving monthly rental income. In recognition of the settlement and consensual collateral enforcement, a decline in the fair value of $1,387,430 was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022. Rental income for TriLinc Peru S.A.C. has been paid timely through June 30, 2023.

           Ecsponent Holdings, Ltd.

In December 2017, TriLinc made a $4.74 million investment in Ecsponent Holdings, Ltd. (“Ecsponent”) to finance SMEs and provide fee-based services to entrepreneurs based in Botswana through the borrower’s Business Credit Unit. Subsequently, during the third quarter of 2020, Ecsponent announced that its board of directors had launched a forensic investigation into the use of proceeds for various financial transactions executed by its former management, including the Company’s investment. The combination of misapplied financing transactions and significant poor performance by other business units of the group, caused Ecsponent to seek deferment of its interest payments while it sought additional fund raising to financial and liquidity challenges, which the Company granted in the fourth quarter of 2020.  However, the Covid-19 pandemic economic environment delayed several of the borrower’s plans and initiatives.

Throughout the first three quarters of 2022, the Company worked closely with the CEO of the group of companies, which Ecsponent is a part of, and several of its existing creditors as part of a potential restructuring. During the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, one of the key companies in the borrower’s group was placed into judicial management, which materially increased the risk of liquidation for itself and Ecsponent.  The Company remains in close contact with Ecsponent’s CEO, the group’s creditors and judicial administrators in Bostwana to reach an agreement, which the Company expects to progress in future quarters. As a result of the significantly increased risk of creditor actions which could lead to a liquidation of Ecsponent, a negative valuation adjustment during the year ended December 31, 2022 of approximately $3.2 million was recognized. During 2023, conversations have continued with Ecsponent’s CEO about the best way to restructure the loan, possibly into a new entity, and an insurance claim is underway through the Company’s sub-advisor, Scipion.

Revenues

Three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, total investment income amounted to $6,841,776 and $9,260,185, respectively. Interest income decreased by approximately $2,418,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily as a result of the decrease of $3.7 million in the average size of the investment portfolio compared to the same period in 2022 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in the average size of our portfolio during the second quarter of 2023 was due to investment repayments that were not redeployed.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, $3,669,363 or 53.6% of the interest income was earned from loan and trade finance participations and $3,171,111 or 46.4% from direct loans. In addition, the Company earned $1,302 in interest income on our cash balances.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, $5,176,021 or 55.9% of the interest income was earned from loan and trade finance participations and $4,084,164 or 44.1% from direct loans. 

Six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, total investment income amounted to $13,566,972 and $17,848,634 respectively. Interest income decreased by approximately $4,282,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to the fact that the number of non-accrual loans increased from ten to sixteen. Also, the weighted average yield during the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by 0.3% from 11.9% to 11.6% compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease of $7.8 million in the average size of our portfolio as of June 30, 2023 compared to the average size of the portfolio as of June 30, 2022 due to investment repayments that were not redeployed.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $7,462,223 or 55.0% of the interest income was earned from loan and trade finance participations and $6,103,447 or 45.0% earned from direct loans. In addition, the Company earned $1,302 in interest income on our cash balances.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, $9,949,223 or 55.8% of the interest income was earned from loan and trade finance participations and $7,895,930 or 44.2% earned from direct loans. In addition, the Company earned $3,481 in interest income on our cash balances.

Total operating expenses, excluding the asset management and incentive fees, incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $1,626,211 to $2,931,904 from $1,305,693 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Several factors primarily contributed to this increase, including an increase in the interest expense of $743,000 due to the leverage facility that had not been in place during the prior period, and an increase in professional fees of approximately $976,000, primarily due to higher fees incurred for audit services following our engagement of the new audit firm and legal services in connection with our ongoing efforts to recover amounts outstanding with respect to investments for which IIG was the sub-advisor during the three months ended June 30, 2023. 

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the asset management fees amounted to $1,383,156 and $1,655,975, respectively. The incentive fees for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $0 and $1,259,703, respectively. The decrease in incentive fees is primarily due to the fact that the Advisor determined to voluntarily waive all incentive fees that may become due and payable to the Advisor for 2023. 

Six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 

Total operating expenses, excluding the asset management and incentive fees, incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $3,259,963 to $5,487,392 from $2,227,429 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of an increase in the interest expense of $1,393,000 due to the leverage facility that had not been in place during the prior period, and the professional fees of approximately $1,891,000 which were primarily due to higher fees incurred for audit service following our engagement of the new audit firm and legal services in connection with our ongoing efforts to recover amounts outstanding with respect to investments for which IIG was the sub-advisor during the six months ended June 30, 2023. 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the asset management fees amounted to $2,788,001 and $3,345,935, respectively. The incentive fees for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $0 and $2,155,581, respectively. The decrease in incentive fees is primarily due to the fact that the Advisor determined to voluntarily waive all incentive fees that may become due and payable to the Advisor for 2023. 

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments.

We measure net realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale of an investment and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment fair market values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized. We had no recorded realized losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. We recorded realized losses of $9,072,469 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively. We recorded net change in unrealized depreciation of $4,839,280 and $6,252,468 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We recorded net change in unrealized appreciation of $1,660,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and net change in unrealized depreciation of $8,898,668 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The realized loss and net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation were primarily driven by macro events, including the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the rising input costs caused in part by the conflict between Russian and Ukraine and their impact on the future cash flows generated by our investments as well as the ultimate realization of the underlying collateral.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $70,000 in cash. We generate cash primarily from cash flows from interest, dividends and fees earned from our investments and principal repayments, proceeds from sales of our investments and from sales of promissory notes, proceeds from the issuance of notes payable, and proceeds from private placements of our units. We may also generate cash in the future from additional debt financing. Our primary use of cash will be to make loans, either directly or through participations, payments of our expenses, payments on our notes and any other borrowings, and cash distributions to our unitholders. We expect to maintain cash reserves from time to time for investment opportunities, working capital and distributions. Due to multiple factors, we have been experiencing inconsistent cash flows and significant constraints on our liquidity, which we expect will continue to be the case in the coming quarters. See “Outlook as of June 30, 2023” above for further information regarding the factors negatively impacting our cash flows.

The following discussions provide additional detail regarding our cash flows.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by $2.2 million compared to the same period in 2022. This decrease is primarily the result of an increase of $11.6 million in the purchase of investments compared to the same period in 2022. This was partially offset by an increase of $9.9 million in the proceeds from disposition of investments. These changes reflected the increased liquidity challenges impacting our portfolio since 2022. 

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by approximately $41,000 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily attributable to an increase of $4,000,000 in repayment of note payable and a decrease of $225,000 in net proceeds from issuance of units. These decreases are partially offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in distributions paid to unitholders and a decrease of $1.6 million in repurchase of units due to the temporary suspension of the DRP and delays in cash distributions. 

Debt Financings and Financing Obligations

We may borrow additional funds to make investments. We have not decided to what extent going forward we will finance portfolio investments using debt or the specific form that any such financing would take, but we believe that obtaining financing is necessary for us to fully achieve our long-term goals. We have been, and still are, actively seeking further financing through both development banks and several commercial banks. Accordingly, we cannot predict with certainty what terms any such financing would have or the costs we would incur in connection with any such arrangement. On August 7, 2017, TGIFC issued $5 million in the first of a Series 1 Senior Secured Promissory Notes private offering to State Street Australia Ltd ACF Christian Super (“Christian Super”). On December 18, 2018, TGIFC issued $5 million of Series 2 Senior Secured Promissory Notes to Christian Super. TGIFC repaid the CS Note in full in January 2022. On November 3, 2022, we entered into a transaction with an unrelated financial institution, whereby, we sold a $5.0 million participation interest in one of our term loan positions. As of June 30, 2023, we agreed to repurchase the participation by October 2023 at a price equal to the sum of the original sales price plus accrued interest calculated at a simple 10% annualized rate. On November 22, 2022, we had entered into two Facility Agreements (the "Facility Agreements") with DEG - Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH ("DEG") and BlueOrchard Microfinance Fund ("BlueOrchard") as Lenders. Pursuant to the Loan Documents, each of DEG and BlueOrchard will provide a loan with a principal amount of up to $25 million, for an aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million (the “Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2023, we had $8.3 million in total debt outstanding, net of debt issuance costs, with a debt to equity ratio of 3.0%. As of September 1, 2023, we had no debt outstanding. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 7. Notes Payable, and Note 11. Subsequent Events."

Company Strategy

Although the Company has a perpetual duration, it disclosed previously that if the Company did not consummate a liquidity event by August 25, 2021, it would commence an orderly liquidation of its assets unless a majority of the board of managers, including a majority of the independent managers, determined that liquidation is not in the best interests of the Company’s unitholders. Following the completion of a review process, in May 2021, the board of managers, including all of the independent managers, determined that a liquidation was not in the best interests of the Company’s unitholders and approved the continuation of the Company’s operations through at least August 26, 2022. In August 2022, the board of managers again determined that a liquidation is not in the best interests of the Company's unitholders. The board of managers and management believe that it is in the best interests of the Company's unitholders to continue its operations and to pursue leverage and other alternatives to stabilize the Company's portfolio and NAV through at least December 31, 2024.

Distributions

Distributions are subject to the board of managers’ discretion and applicable legal restrictions and accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will make distributions at a specific rate or at all. Distributions are made on all classes of our units at the same time. The cash distributions received by our unitholders with respect to the Class C units, Class W units and certain Class I units, are and will continue to be lower than the cash distributions with respect to Class A and certain other Class I units because of the distribution fee relating to Class C units, the ongoing dealer manager fee relating to Class W units and Class I units issued pursuant to a private placement and the ongoing service fee relating to the Class W units, which are expenses specific to those classes of units. Amounts distributed to each class are allocated among the unitholders in such class in proportion to their units. Distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in units, for those unitholders participating in the DRP. However, the DRP is currently suspended temporarily. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid a total of $5,608,117 in distributions, comprised of $4,547,425 paid in cash and $1,060,693 reinvested under our DRP.

Related Party Transactions

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Advisor earned $2,788,001 and $3,345,935, respectively, in asset management fees and $0 and $2,155,581, respectively, in incentive fees.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, amounts due from affiliates on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities totaling $513,826 and $0, respectively, were due to the pending allocations of principal and interest payments that were received by the affiliates.

Legal Proceedings

As of June 30, 2023, the Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

In preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on our net income/loss and affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates with the audit committee of our board of managers. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

42

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from these estimates. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted and is likely to further adversely impact the Company's business, the businesses of the Company's borrowers and the global markets generally. The full extent to which the pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, including fair value measurements, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. These developments include, but are not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or address its impact, governmental actions to contain the spread of the pandemic and respond to the reduction in global economic activity, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

The risks described in our 2022 Form 10-K 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 adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unit Repurchase Program

Beginning June 11, 2014, we commenced a unit repurchase program pursuant to which we conduct quarterly unit repurchases of up to 5% of our weighted average number of outstanding units in any 12-month period to allow our unitholders, who have held our units for a minimum of one year, to sell their units back to us. Our unit repurchase program includes numerous restrictions, including a one-year holding period, that limit our unitholders’ ability to sell their units. Additionally, we have no obligation to repurchase units if the repurchase would violate the restrictions on distributions under federal law or Delaware law, and all units to be repurchased under the program must be fully transferable and not be subject to any liens or other encumbrances and free from any restrictions on transfer. Unless our board of managers determines otherwise, we will limit the number of units to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of units we can repurchase with the proceeds we receive from the sale of units under our DRP. At the sole discretion of our board of managers, we may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of investments as of the end of the applicable quarter to repurchase units.

On August 9, 2019, our board of managers amended and restated our unit repurchase program in order to amend the basis on which we will honor repurchase requests in the event repurchase requests exceed the existing limitations of the program. The amended and restated unit repurchase program took effect on September 30, 2019. Under the amended and restated unit repurchase program, if we cannot repurchase all units presented for repurchase in any quarter because of the limitations on repurchases set forth in the program, then we will honor repurchase requests in the following order of priority (unless our board of managers determines that we will not repurchase units in that quarter):

● first, we will repurchase units pursuant to repurchase requests made in connection with the death or disability of a unitholder (or on a pro rata basis among such requests if less than all of such death or disability requests can be satisfied);

● second, we will repurchase units pursuant to any repurchase request that has been carried over from one or more previous quarterly periods where the value of the units that have not yet been repurchased pursuant to such request (with the value calculated as the number of units multiplied by the estimated NAV per unit for units of that class, as most recently disclosed by us in a filing with the SEC) is less than $2,500 (or on a pro rata basis among such requests if less than all of such requests carried over from prior periods can be satisfied); and

● third, we will repurchase units pursuant to all other repurchase requests on a pro rata basis.

Unit repurchases are made on the last calendar day of the quarter at a price equal to the estimated NAV per unit for each class of units, as most recently disclosed by us in a public filing with the SEC.

Our board of managers has the right to amend, suspend or terminate the unit repurchase program to the extent that it determines that it is in our best interest to do so. We will promptly notify our unitholders of any changes to the unit repurchase program, including any amendment, suspension or termination of it in our periodic or current reports or by means of other notice. Moreover, the unit repurchase program will terminate on the date that our units are listed on a national securities exchange, are included for quotation in a national securities market or, in the sole determination of our board of managers, a secondary trading market for the units otherwise develops. Given that the Company had not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 with the SEC as of March 31, 2023, the Company temporarily suspended the private placement, the DRP and the unit repurchase program effective April 1, 2023. The Company anticipates that it will lift the suspensions sometime after this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023 have been filed with the SEC.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we fulfilled the following requests pursuant to our unit repurchase program:

Period	Total Number of Units Purchased		Average Price Paid Per Unit		Total Number of Units Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs		Maximum Number of Units that May Yet be Purchased Under the Program
04/01/2023 - 04/30/2023		12,781	$	6.838		12,781		892,446
05/01/2023 - 05/31/2023		—		—		—		892,446

Total		12,781	$	6.838		12,781

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 12,781 units for a total of $87,395. The repurchases were approved and effective as of December 31, 2022, but the repurchase payments were made during the month ended April 30, 2023. The unit repurchase program is temporarily suspended effective as of April 1, 2023. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 8. Unit Capital" for more information.
