NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in millions, except per share data)

 

Note 1. Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Interim consolidated financial statements of American Capital, Ltd. (which is referred throughout this report as “American Capital”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods have been included. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and our Quarterly Report on From 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Note 2. Organization

 

During the second quarter of 2008, we changed our name from American Capital Strategies, Ltd. to American Capital, Ltd. We are a non-diversified, closed end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). We operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) as defined in Subtitle A, Chapter 1, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a BDC, we primarily invest in senior debt, subordinated debt and equity in the buyouts of private companies sponsored by us (“American Capital One-Stop Buyouts™”), the buyouts of private companies sponsored by other private equity firms (“American Capital One Stop Financings”) and directly to early stage and mature private and small public companies. We refer to these investments as our private finance portfolio. We also invest in structured product investments (“Structured Products”) including commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”), commercial collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) securities and collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) securities and invest in alternative asset funds managed by us. We are also an alternative asset manager with $20 billion of capital resources under management as of June 30, 2008. We have an investment in American Capital, LLC, a third party alternative asset fund manager that is a wholly-owned portfolio company and have investments in alternative asset funds that are managed by American Capital, LLC.

 

We are the sole shareholder of American Capital Financial Services, Inc. (“ACFS”). Through ACFS, we provide advisory, management and other services to our portfolio companies. Our primary business objectives are to increase our taxable income, net realized earnings and net asset value by making investments with attractive current yields and/or potential for equity appreciation and realized gains.

 

Note 3. Investment Valuation Policy

 

Our investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). In accordance with the 1940 Act, unrestricted minority-owned publicly traded securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the closing market quote on the valuation date and majority-owned publicly traded securities and other privately held securities are valued as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. For restricted securities of companies that are publicly traded, the value is based on the closing market quote on the valuation date minus a discount for the restriction. For unrestricted securities of companies that are publicly

(in millions, except per share data)

 

traded for which we have a majority-owned interest, the value is based on the closing market quote on the valuation date plus a control premium if our Board of Directors determines in good faith that additional value above the closing market quote would be obtainable upon a sale or transfer of our controlling interest.

 

We adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.

 

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value in terms of the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The price used to measure the fair value is not adjusted for transaction costs while the cost basis of our investments may include initial transaction costs. Under SFAS No. 157, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell or transfer the asset with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under SFAS No. 157, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to the market as of the measurement date. If no market for the asset exists or if the reporting entity does not have access to the principal market, the reporting entity should use a hypothetical market.

 

The market in which we would sell our private finance investments is the mergers and acquisition (“M&A”) market. Under SFAS No. 157, we have indentified the M&A market as our principal market for portfolio companies only if we have the ability to initiate a sale of the portfolio company as of the measurement date. We determine whether we have the ability to initiate a sale of a portfolio company based on our ability to control or gain control of the board of directors of the portfolio company as of the measurement date. In evaluating if we can control or gain control of a portfolio company as of the measurement date, we include our equity securities and those securities held by entities managed by American Capital, LLC, on a fully diluted basis. For investments in securities of portfolio companies for which we do not have the ability to control or gain control as of the measurement date and for which there is no active market, our principal market under SFAS No. 157 is a hypothetical secondary market.

 

Accordingly, we use the M&A market as our principal market for portfolio companies that we control or can gain control as of the measurement date, and we use a hypothetical secondary market for portfolio companies that we do not control or cannot gain control as of the measurement date. However, to the extent that an active market exists, we will consider that as our principal market. Our valuation policy considers the fact that no ready market exists for substantially all of the securities in which we invest and that fair value for our investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.

 

Enterprise Value Waterfall Methodology

 

For securities of portfolio companies that we have identified the M&A market as the principal market, we estimate the fair value based on the enterprise value waterfall (“Enterprise Value Waterfall”) valuation methodology. For minority equity securities, we also estimate the fair value using the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 157, we generally used the Enterprise Value Waterfall

Table of Contents

(in millions, except per share data)

 

methodology for valuing our entire private finance portfolio that was not publicly traded. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 157, we no longer use the Enterprise Value Waterfall methodology for valuing portfolio investments that we do not control or cannot gain control as of the measurement date.

 

Under the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, we estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company and then waterfall the enterprise value over the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another. In using the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, we consider the in-use valuation premise under SFAS No. 157, which assumes the debt and equity securities are sold together, and which we believe is appropriate as this would provide the maximum proceeds to the seller. In applying the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, we also consider that in a change of control transaction, our debt securities are generally required to be repaid and that a buyer cannot assume the debt security.

 

To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we prepare an analysis consisting of traditional valuation methodologies including market income and cost approaches. We weight some or all of the traditional valuation methods based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to conclude on our estimate of the enterprise value. The methodologies consist of valuation estimates based on: valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, estimating the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets, third party valuations of the portfolio company, considering offers from third parties to buy the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company.

 

In valuing convertible debt, equity or other similar securities, we value our investment based on our pro rata share of the residual equity value available after deducting all outstanding debt from the estimated enterprise value. We value non-convertible debt securities at the face amount of the debt to the extent that the estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company exceeds the outstanding debt of the portfolio company. If the estimated enterprise value is less than the outstanding debt of the company, we reduce the value of our debt investment beginning with the junior most debt such that the enterprise value less the value of the outstanding debt is zero.

 

Market Yield Valuation Methodology

 

For securities of portfolio companies for which we have identified the hypothetical secondary market as the principal market, we determine the fair value based on the assumptions that hypothetical market participants would use to value the security in a current hypothetical sale using a market yield (“Market Yield”) valuation methodology based on an exchange valuation premise under SFAS No. 157.

 

For debt and redeemable preferred equity securities of our private finance portfolio for which we do not control or cannot gain control as of the measurement date, we estimate the fair value based on such factors as third party broker quotes and our own assumptions in the absence of market observable data, including synthetic credit ratings, estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. We estimate the remaining life based on market data of the average life of similar debt securities. However, if we have information available to us that the debt security is expected to be repaid in the near term, we would use an estimated remaining life based on the expected repayment date. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a debt security, we may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.

(in millions, except per share data)

 

We also value our investments in Structured Products using the Market Yield valuation methodology. We estimate the fair value based on such factors as third party broker quotes and cash flow forecasts subject to market participant assumptions regarding the investments’ underlying collateral including, but not limited to, assumptions of default and recovery rates, reinvestment spreads and prepayment rates. Cash flow forecasts are discounted using a market participants market yield assumptions that are derived from multiple sources including, but not limited to, third party broker quotes, recent investments and securities with similar structure and risk characteristics.

 

Interest Rate Derivatives

 

For interest rate derivative agreements, we estimate the fair value based on the estimated net present value of the future cash flows using a forward interest rate yield curve in effect as of the measurement period, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any, including a quantitative and/or qualitative evaluation of both our credit risk and our counterparty’s credit risk.

 

Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, such estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.

 

Note 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 provides guidance on the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock in determining whether an instrument is a derivative. To the extent a derivative instrument or embedded derivative feature is deemed indexed to an entity’s own stock, it may be exempt from the requirements of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as well as eligible for equity classification under EITF Issue No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should determine whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock first by evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions, if any, and then by evaluating the instrument’s settlement provisions. EITF 07-5 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008, with early application prohibited. Management is in the process of assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting EITF 07-5.

 

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). The objective of this FSP is to address questions that arose regarding whether unvested share-based payment awards with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents should be considered participating securities for the purposes of applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”), pursuant to FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. In FSP EITF 03-6-1, the FASB staff concluded that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and thus, should be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years with early application prohibited. This FSP requires that all prior-period EPS data be adjusted retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 161”). The objective of SFAS No. 161 is to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk–related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We did not early adopt SFAS No. 161. Management is currently evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements and the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting SFAS No. 161.

 

Note 5. Investments

 

We fair value our investments in accordance with GAAP as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. When available, we base the fair value of our investments on directly observable market prices or on market data derived for comparable assets. For all other investments, inputs used to measure fair value reflect management’s best estimate of assumptions that would be used by market participants in pricing the investment in a hypothetical transaction.

 

The levels of fair value inputs used to measure our investments are characterized in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall in more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment’s fair value measurement. We use judgment and consider factors specific to the investment in determining the significance of an input to a fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy and investments that fall into each of the levels are described below:

 

   

Level 1: Level 1 are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. We use Level 1 inputs for investments in publicly traded unrestricted securities for which we do not have a controlling interest. Such investments are valued at the closing price on the measurement date.

 

   

Level 2: Level 2 are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. We did not value any of our investments using Level 2 inputs as of June 30, 2008.

 

   

Level 3: Level 3 are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data. We use Level 3 inputs for measuring the fair value of substantially all of our investments. See Note 3 for the investment valuation policies used to determine the fair value of these investments.

(in millions, except per share data)

 

The daily weighted average debt balance for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $4,333 million and $4,716 million, respectively. The daily weighted average debt balance for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $4,656 million and $4,611 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 4.4% and 6.1%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 4.8% and 5.8%, respectively. Our ability to draw under our secured revolving credit facility expires in October 2008. If the facility is not extended, any principal amounts then outstanding will be amortized over a 24-month period. We are currently in compliance with all of our debt covenants. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the fair value of the above borrowings was $4,153 million and $4,605 million, respectively. The fair value of fixed rate debt instruments is based upon market interest rates. The fair value of variable rate debt instruments is based upon market credit spreads.

 

Note 7. Earnings Per Share

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (in millions, except per share data):

 

     Three Months Ended

   Six Months Ended

Numerator for basic and diluted net operating income per share

   $ 145     $ 153    $ 296     $ 267
                             

Numerator for basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share

   $ (70 )   $ 788    $ (883 )   $ 922
                             

Denominator for basic weighted average shares

     204.4       165.1      199.8       158.9

Employee stock options and bonus awards

     —         3.2      —         3.2

Shares issuable under forward sale agreements

     —         0.2      —         0.3
                             

Denominator for diluted weighted average shares

     204.4       168.5      199.8       162.4
                             

Basic net operating income per common share

   $ 0.71     $ 0.93    $ 1.48     $ 1.68

Diluted net operating income per common share

   $ 0.71     $ 0.91    $ 1.48     $ 1.64

Basic net (loss) earnings per common share

   $ (0.34 )   $ 4.77    $ (4.42 )   $ 5.80

Diluted net (loss) earnings per common share

   $ (0.34 )   $ 4.68    $ (4.42 )   $ 5.68

 

In computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutive, those that reduce earnings per share or increase loss per share, are included. The effect of stock options, unvested employee stock awards and shares issued under forward sales agreements is not included if the result would be anti-dilutive, such as when a net loss is reported. The “control number” for determining whether including potential common shares in the diluted EPS computation would be anti-dilutive is net (loss) earnings. As a result, if there is a net loss, diluted EPS is computed using the same number of weighted average shares as used in computing basic EPS, even if we have positive net operating income. Therefore, basic EPS and diluted EPS are computed using the same number of weighted average shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as we incurred a net loss for those periods.

 

Note 8. Segment Data

 

Reportable segments are identified based on our organizational structure and the business activities from which we earn income. We have determined that we have two primary lines of business: 1) Investing and 2) Asset Management/Advisory.

AMERICAN CAPITAL, LTD.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(in millions, except per share data)

 

We derive the majority of our operating income and net operating income from our Investing segment, which primarily invests in senior and subordinated debt and equity of middle market companies with attractive current yields and/or potential for equity appreciation and realized gains.

 

Our Asset Management/Advisory segment provides management services to both our portfolio company investments and alternative asset funds. Our Asset Management/Advisory segment includes financial advisory services provided to our portfolio companies and includes both management fees for providing advice and analysis to our portfolio companies, which can be recurring in nature, and transaction structuring and financing fees for structuring, financing and executing middle market transactions, which may not be recurring in nature. These services are primarily provided by our consolidated operating subsidiary, ACFS. Our Asset Management/Advisory segment also includes our alternative asset fund management business, which may be conducted through consolidated operating subsidiaries or wholly-owned portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2008, all of our alternative asset fund management services in our Asset Management/Advisory segment are conducted through our wholly-owned portfolio company, American Capital, LLC. To the extent American Capital, LLC declares regular quarterly dividends of its quarterly net operating income to us, such dividends would be included in our Asset Management/Advisory segment as dividend income. The results for our Asset Management/Advisory segment also include the realized gain (loss) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of such wholly-owned portfolio companies.

Note 9. Commitments

 

As of June 30, 2008, we had commitments under loan and financing agreements to fund up to $1,141 million to 60 portfolio companies. These commitments are primarily composed of working capital credit facilities, acquisition credit facilities and subscription agreements. The commitments are generally subject to the borrowers meeting certain criteria. The terms of the borrowings and financings subject to commitment are comparable to the terms of other debt and equity securities in our portfolio.

 

Note 10. Income Taxes

 

We operate to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify as a RIC, we must annually distribute in a timely manner to our shareholders at least 90% of our investment company ordinary taxable income based on our tax fiscal year. Ordinary taxable income includes net short-term capital gains but excludes net long-term capital gains. We refer to our ordinary taxable income and net long-term capital gains as our investment company taxable income. A RIC is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of the investment company taxable income that are distributed to its shareholders. We have distributed and currently intend to distribute sufficient dividends to eliminate investment company taxable income for our tax fiscal years. If we fail to qualify as a RIC in any tax year, we would be subject to tax in such year on all of our investment company taxable income, regardless of whether we made any distributions to our shareholders. We have a tax fiscal year that ends on September 30. As permitted by the code, a RIC can designate dividends paid in the subsequent tax year as dividends of current year ordinary taxable income and net long-term gains if those dividends are both declared by the extended due date of the RIC’s federal income tax return and paid to shareholders by the last day of the subsequent tax year. Accordingly, dividends declared by June 16, 2008, the extended due date of our return, and paid by September 30, 2008, will be comprised of a portion of our ordinary income and all of our net long-term capital gain income from the tax year ended September 30, 2007.

In March 2008, we completed a public offering in which 8.7 million shares of our common stock were sold at a public offering price of $36.41 per share. Upon completion of the offering we received proceeds, net of the underwriters’ discount, of $302 million in exchange for the 8.7 million common shares. In addition, we granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 1.3 million shares of our common stock. The over-allotment option expired without being exercised by the underwriters.

 

Stock Buy-Back Plan

 

In January 2008, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a stock buy-back program, which allows for the repurchase of up to a maximum of $500 million of our common stock at prices below our net asset value per share as reported in our then most recently published financial statements. The stock repurchase plan is subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations including restrictions under certain of our borrowings. We anticipate that share repurchases will be made from time to time, depending upon market conditions. Shares may be repurchased in the open market, including through block repurchases, or through privately negotiated transactions. We do not intend to repurchase any shares from our directors, officers or other affiliates. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be discontinued at any time. We intend to fund the repurchases with available cash or borrowings. The repurchase program is expected to be in effect through December 31, 2008, or until the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we purchased a total 0.2 million shares of our common stock in the open market for $6 million at an average price of $31.20 per share under this program. We did not make any purchases under this program during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

 

Note 12. Dividends

 

On August 5, 2008, our Board of Directors declared a third quarter of 2008 regular dividend of $1.05 per share to record holders as of October 6, 2008, payable on October 14, 2008.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (in millions, except per share data)

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is designed to provide a reader of American Capital’s financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management. Our MD&A is presented in four sections:

 

   

Executive Overview

 

   

Results of Operations

 

   

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

   

Forward-Looking Statements

 

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

 

We are the only private equity fund and alternative asset management company that is a member of the S&P 500. We primarily invest in senior debt, subordinated debt and equity in the buyouts of private companies sponsored by us (“American Capital One-Stop Buyouts™”) and buyouts of private companies sponsored by other private equity firms (“American Capital One Stop Financings”) and provide capital directly to early stage and mature private and small public companies. In addition, we also invest in structured product investments including CMBS, CLO and CDO securities (“Structured Products”) and invest in alternative asset funds managed by us. We are also an alternative asset manager with $20 billion of capital resources under management as of June 30, 2008.

 

Our primary business objectives are to increase our taxable income, net realized earnings and net asset value by investing in private equity, private debt, private real estate investments, early, middle and late stage technology investments, special situations, credit opportunities, alternative asset funds managed by us and structured finance investments with attractive current yields and/or potential for equity appreciation and realized gains.

 

Thus far in 2008, the financial services industry has been significantly affected by the turmoil in the financial markets, which has negatively affected the global financial markets. What began in 2007 as a deterioration of credit quality in subprime residential mortgages has rapidly spread, causing adverse conditions throughout the mortgage banking industry, the broader U.S. housing market and the global financial markets. This has resulted in a liquidity crisis throughout virtually all financial sectors.

 

American Capital is well positioned to navigate through this liquidity crisis. As a BDC, we are limited to a 1:1 debt to equity ratio and as of June 30, 2008, our debt to equity ratio was 0.8:1. Also, our debt maturing in the next twelve months is only $302 million. We continue to generate liquidity through the realization of portfolio investments generating over $1.4 billion of realizations of portfolio investments in the first half of 2008 and nearly $4.4 billion in the past twelve months. As is typical for our portfolio, we currently have investments in various stages in the sales process that continue to draw interest from perspective buyers so we expect to have continued liquidity from our portfolio. However, we believe that the liquidity crisis will likely limit American Capital’s ability to raise public equity and public and privately sourced debt through the remainder of 2008. Our remaining 2008 business plan assumes no new capital raises and the reinvestment of capital only as we experience liquidity through realizations from exits and repayments. Nevertheless, we expect to continue to raise private and public equity capital during the remainder of 2008 for our alternative asset funds under management. During the second quarter of 2008, we launched our latest alternative asset fund, American Capital Agency Corp., which successfully completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and concurrent private placement, raising equity proceeds, net of offering costs, of $286 million. During the second quarter of 2008, the fund invested $2.4 billion in agency securities funded with its equity capital and debt capital through repurchase agreement financing.

 

While we have seen industry-wide mergers and acquisition volumes decline in the first two quarters, we continue to see high quality companies come to market even in this tighter lending environment. The industry-wide reduction in available senior and mezzanine debt capital due to the liquidity crisis has resulted in more

competitive pricing on debt, which has driven up gross returns and led to a favorable investing environment for us. We have experienced a widening of expected returns on our new debt investments in the past twelve months. Our ability to offer a staple financing package to buyers of our American Capital One-Stop BuyoutsTM investments also allows us to increase our investment spreads in this environment, while at the same time we are moving up the balance sheet in more senior investments.

 

The deterioration in the credit markets created general market volatility and illiquidity, resulting in significant declines in the market values of a broad range of debt and equity investments. We were not immune to the impacts of these market dynamics as our results in the first and second quarters of 2008 clearly indicate through the recording of net unrealized depreciation of $997 million and $264 million, respectively, in our investment portfolio. The majority of the depreciation in the first half of 2008 was due to declining trading prices and continued widening of investment spreads as well as our adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, a new accounting standard that provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. These factors had a greater impact on the unrealized depreciation of our investments during these periods than the credit quality of our portfolio. In general, the credit quality of our portfolio remains good considering that we may likely be in a recession. For example, while our Structured Product investments experienced over $360 million of unrealized depreciation during the first quarter of 2008 due to the continued widening of investment spreads as a result of the illiquidity in the market, the same investments experienced $46 million of appreciation during the second quarter of 2008 due to a slight tightening of investments spreads since March 31, 2008. However, the underlying collateral of these Structured Products is generally performing as underwritten. As we currently expect to hold these Structured Products investments to settlement or maturity, we do not expect to realize a loss on most of the current or prior period unrealized depreciation as we anticipate the future proceeds to be received upon settlement or maturity to exceed the GAAP fair value as of June 30, 2008 by approximately $476 million.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we reported net operating income of $145 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, net realized earnings of $194 million, or $0.95 per diluted share and a net loss of $70 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. The net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was driven largely by the $264 million of net unrealized depreciation. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we reported net operating income of $296 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, net realized earnings of $378 million, or $1.89 per diluted share and a net loss of $883 million, or $4.42 per diluted share. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was driven largely by the $1,261 million of net unrealized depreciation.

 

American Capital Investing Activities

 

We provide investment capital to middle market companies, which we generally consider to be companies with sales between $10 million and $750 million. We primarily invest in senior debt, subordinated debt and equity in the buyouts of private companies sponsored by us, the buyouts of private companies sponsored by other private equity firms and directly to early stage and mature private and small public companies. Currently, we will invest up to $800 million in a single middle market transaction in North America. We also invest in Structured Products and in alternative asset funds managed by us. For summary financial information of our investment portfolio by segment and geographic area, see Note 5 to the interim consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

We seek to be a long-term partner with our portfolio companies. As a long-term partner, we will invest capital in a portfolio company subsequent to our initial investment if we believe that it can achieve appropriate returns for our investment. Add-on financings fund (i) strategic acquisitions by a portfolio company of either a complete business or specific lines of a business that are related to the portfolio company’s business, (ii) recapitalization of a portfolio company to raise financing on better terms, buyout one or several owners or to pay a dividend, (iii) growth of the portfolio company such as product development or plant expansions, or (iv) working capital for a portfolio company, sometimes in distressed situations, that needs capital to fund operating costs, debt service, or growth in receivables or inventory.

On May 20, 2008, AGNC successfully completed its IPO of 10 million shares of common stock for net proceeds, net of the underwriters’ discount and estimated expenses, of $186 million. In a private placement concurrent with the AGNC IPO, we purchased 5 million shares of AGNC common stock at the IPO price of $20.00 per share, for proceeds of $100 million. AGNC’s net proceeds from the IPO and the concurrent private placement were $286 million.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of our financial condition and results of operations requires us to make judgments and estimates that may have a significant impact upon the financial results of the Company. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following require estimates and assumptions that require complex, subjective judgments by management, which can materially impact reported results: Valuation of Investments; Interest and Dividend Income Recognition; Stock-based Compensation; and Derivative Financial Instruments. Our accounting policy for the Valuation of Investments was modified during the first quarter of 2008 and is presented below. The remaining critical accounting policies are more fully described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Valuation of Investments

 

Our investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). In accordance with the 1940 Act, unrestricted minority-owned publicly traded securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the closing market quote on the valuation date and majority-owned publicly traded securities and other privately held securities are valued as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. For securities of companies that are publicly traded for which we have a majority-owned interest, the value is based on the closing market quote on the valuation date plus a control premium if our Board of Directors determines in good faith that additional value above the closing market quote would be obtainable upon a sale or transfer of our controlling interest.

 

We adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value in terms of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The price used to measure the fair value is not adjusted for transaction costs while the cost basis of our investments may include initial transaction costs. Under SFAS No. 157, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell or transfer the asset with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under SFAS No. 157, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to the market as of the measurement date. If no market for the asset exists or if the reporting entity does not have access to the principal market, the reporting entity should use a hypothetical market.

 

The market in which we would sell our private finance investments is the mergers and acquisition (“M&A”) market. Under SFAS No. 157, we have indentified the M&A market as our principal market for portfolio companies only if we have the ability to initiate a sale of the portfolio company as of the measurement date. We decide whether we have the ability to initiate a sale of a portfolio company based on our ability to control or gain control of the board of directors of the portfolio company as of the measurement date. In evaluating if we can control or gain control of a portfolio company as of the measurement date, we include our equity securities and those securities held by entities managed by American Capital, LLC, on a fully diluted basis. For investments in securities of portfolio companies for which we do not have the ability to control or gain control as of the measurement date and for which there is no active market, our principal market under SFAS No. 157 is a hypothetical secondary market. The determination of the principal market used to estimate the fair value of each of our investments can have a material impact on our estimate of the fair value of our investments.

 

The levels of fair value inputs used to measure our investments are characterized in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall into more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment’s fair value measurement. We use judgment and consider factors specific to the investment in determining the significance of an input to a fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy and investments that fall into each of the levels are described below:

 

   

Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. We use Level 1 inputs for investments in publicly traded unrestricted securities for which we do not have a controlling interest. Such investments are valued at the closing price on the measurement date.

 

   

Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. We did not value any of our investments using Level 2 inputs as of June 30, 2008.

 

   

Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data. We use Level 3 inputs for measuring the fair value of substantially all of our investments as follows:

 

  - For investments in securities of companies that are publicly traded for which we have a controlling interest, the fair value of the investment is based on the closing price of the security on the measurement date adjusted for the fair value of a control premium, if any, based on the value above the closing market quote that would be obtainable upon a sale of our controlling interest. A control premium incorporated into the valuation would be considered a Level 3 input if it has a significant impact on the determination of fair value.

 

  -

For securities of portfolio companies for which we have identified the M&A market as the principal market, we estimate the fair value based on the enterprise value waterfall (“Enterprise Value Waterfall”) valuation methodology. Under the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, we estimate the enterprise fair value of the portfolio company and then waterfall the enterprise value over the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another. For minority equity securities, we also estimate the fair value using the Enterprise Value

Waterfall valuation methodology. To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we prepare an analysis consisting of traditional valuation methodologies including market income and cost approaches. We weight some or all of the traditional valuation methods based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to conclude on our estimate of the enterprise value. The methodologies consist of valuation estimates based on: valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, estimating the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets, third party valuations of the portfolio company, considering offers from third parties to buy the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. To determine the enterprise value of a portfolio company, we analyze its historical and projected financial results. This financial and other information is generally obtained from the portfolio companies, and may represent unaudited, projected or proforma financial information. The assumptions incorporated in the valuation methodologies used to estimate the enterprise value consists primarily of unobservable Level 3 inputs, including management assumptions based on judgment. A change in these assumptions could have a material impact on the determination of fair value.

 

  - For securities of portfolio companies for which we have identified the hypothetical secondary market as the principal market, we determine the fair value based on the assumptions that a hypothetical market participant would use to value the security in a current hypothetical sale using a market yield (“Market Yield”) valuation methodology. In applying the Market Yield valuation methodology, we estimate the fair value based on such factors as third party broker quotes and market participant assumptions including synthetic credit ratings, estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value in a hypothetical secondary market are considered primarily Level 3 inputs. We generally use an average life based on market data of the average life of similar debt securities for estimating the fair value of our debt securities. However, if we have information available to us that the debt security is expected to be repaid in the near term, we would use an estimated life based on the expected repayment date. The average life used to estimate the fair value of our debt securities is generally shorter than the legal maturity of the loans as our loans have historically been prepaid prior to the maturity date. The current interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of our debt securities is based on our experience of current interest rate spreads on similar securities. A change in the unobservable inputs and assumptions that we use to estimate the fair value of our debt securities could have a material impact on the determination of fair value.

 

  - We value our investments in Structured Products using the Market Yield valuation methodology. We estimate the fair value based on such factors as third party broker quotes and cash flow forecasts subject to market participant assumptions regarding the investments’ underlying collateral including, but not limited to, assumptions of default and recovery rates, reinvestment spreads and prepayment rates. Cash flow forecasts are discounted using a market participants market yield assumptions which are derived from multiple sources including, but not limited to, third party broker quotes, recent investments and securities with similar structure and risk characteristics. The cash flow forecasts and market yields used to discount the cash flows incorporate a significant amount of Level 3 inputs. A change in our default and recovery rate assumptions in the cash flow forecasts or a change in the market yield assumptions could have a material impact on the determination of fair value.

 

  - We value derivative instruments based on fair value information from the derivative counterparty as adjusted for nonperformance risk considerations and third party pricing services. The value is corroborated by the estimated net present value of the future cash flows using relevant market forward interest rate yield curves in effect at the end of the period as adjusted for quantitative and qualitative nonperformance risk considerations.

Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, such estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.

 

See Notes 3 and 5 to the interim consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding the classification of our investment portfolio by Level 1, 2 and 3 as of June 30, 2008.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our consolidated financial performance, as reflected in our consolidated statements of operations, is composed of the following three primary elements:

 

   

The first element is “Net operating income,” which is primarily the interest, dividends and prepayment fees earned from investing in debt and equity securities and the fees we earn from portfolio company management, asset management, financing and transaction structuring activities, less our operating expenses and provision for income taxes.

 

   

The second element is “Net realized gain (loss) on investments,” which reflects the difference between the proceeds from an exit of an investment and the cost at which the investment was carried on our consolidated balance sheets and periodic settlements of derivatives.

 

   

The third element is “Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments,” which is the net change in the estimated fair value of our investments and the estimated fair value of the future payment streams of our interest rate derivatives, at the end of the period compared with their estimated fair values at the beginning of the period or their stated costs, as appropriate. In addition, our net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments includes the foreign currency translation from converting assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency to the U.S. dollar.

 

The consolidated operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows (in millions):

Net Operating Income

 

Operating Income

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, operating income decreased $63 million, or 19%, over the three months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, operating income decreased $21 million, or 4%, over the six months ended June 30, 2007.

 

We have two primary lines of business: Investing and Asset Management/Advisory. We derive the majority of our operating income from our Investing segment, which primarily invests in senior and subordinated debt and equity of middle market companies with attractive current yields and/or potential for equity appreciation and realized gains.

 

Our Asset Management/Advisory segment provides management services to both our portfolio company investments and third party alternative asset funds. Our Asset Management/Advisory segment includes financial advisory services provided to our portfolio company investments and includes both management fees for middle market portfolio company management for providing advice and analysis to our middle market portfolio companies, which can be recurring in nature, and transaction structuring and financing fees for structuring, financing and executing middle market portfolio transactions, which may not be recurring in nature. These services are primarily provided by our consolidated operating subsidiary, ACFS. Our Asset Management/Advisory Segment also includes our third party alternative asset fund management business. As of June 30, 2008, all of our third party alternative asset fund management services in our Asset Management/Advisory segment are conducted through our wholly-owned portfolio company, American Capital, LLC. To the extent American Capital, LLC declares regular quarterly dividends of its undistributed cumulative net operating income to us, such dividends would be included in our Asset Management/Advisory segment as dividend income. The results for our Asset Management/Advisory segment also include the realized gain (loss) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investment in American Capital, LLC.

Interest income on debt securities decreased by $4 million, or 2%, and increased by $28 million, or 8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2007 primarily due to a decline in the weighted average effective interest rate on our debt investments, partially offset by an increase in our debt investments. Dividend income on equity securities increased by $10 million, or 25%, and $24 million, or 30%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2007 primarily due to an increase in our equity investments.

The monthly weighted average effective interest rate on debt investments, including CMBS but excluding interest rate swaps, decreased 80 basis points to 10.8% and 40 basis points to 11.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. This is primarily due to a decrease in LIBOR from the prior year resulting in

lower interest income on our variable rate loans as well as an increase in non-accrual loans, partially offset by an increase in the interest spreads on new investments originated in the last twelve months. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, 49% and 46%, respectively, of our debt investments were variable rate loans.

 

Including the impact of interest rate swaps, our monthly average effective interest rate on debt investments decreased 200 basis points to 10.2% and 130 basis points to 10.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. We attempt to match-fund our liabilities and assets by financing floating rate assets with floating rate liabilities and fixed rate assets with fixed rate liabilities or equity. We enter into interest rate swap agreements to match the interest rate basis of our assets and liabilities, thereby locking in the spread between our asset yield and the cost of our borrowings, and to fulfill our obligations under the terms of our revolving debt funding facilities and asset securitizations. However, our derivatives are considered economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. Under GAAP, we record the accrual of the periodic interest settlements of interest rate derivatives in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and subsequently record the amount as a net realized gain (loss) on investments on the interest settlement date. In the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the total interest benefit (cost) of interest rate derivative agreements included in both net realized gain (loss) on investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments was $(10) million and $8 million, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the total interest benefit (cost) of interest rate derivative agreements included in both net realized gain (loss) on investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments was $(16) million and $11 million, respectively.

 

The monthly weighted average effective yield on equity investments increased 10 basis points to 5.1% and decreased 30 basis points to 5.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The comparisons to the prior year are impacted by an increase in dividend income in 2008 from direct equity investments in our alternative asset funds and a decrease in dividend income in 2008 from the allowance of dividend receivables of previously recognized dividend income on preferred stock investments due to collectability concerns. We recorded dividend income on our equity investment in European Capital of $17 million and $34 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $9 million and $24 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. We also recorded dividend income of $2 million on our equity investment in AGNC for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Dividend Income

 

Each quarter, American Capital, LLC declares a dividend from its undistributed cumulative net operating income to us. The net operating income of American Capital, LLC is comprised of the base management fees, profit sharing (called carried interest or incentive fee) and transaction fees it earns less the operating expenses it incurs for providing fund management services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, American Capital, LLC declared a dividend of $11 million and $18 million, respectively.

 

Fee and Other Income

 

Loan financing fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $18 million, or 86%, and decreased $16 million, or 59%, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2007. The decrease in loan financing fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was attributable to a decrease in loan originations of $1,855 million and $1,923 million, respectively, over the prior period. The loan financing fees were 0.6% and 0.9% of loan originations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and 1.0% and 0.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Loan fees received that are representative of additional yield are recorded as OID and accreted into interest income using the effective interest method and not included in fee income.

 

Equity financing fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $20 million, or 100%, and decreased $25, million or 86%, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2007. Transaction structuring fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $17 million, or 100%, and decreased $18 million, or 86%, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2007. Equity financing fees and transaction structuring fees were significantly lower in 2008 due primarily to reduced volume of American Capital sponsored buyouts.

 

Prior to the second quarter of 2007, ECFS was a consolidated operating subsidiary that earned alternative asset management fees and expense reimbursement revenues. The alternative asset management fees and expense reimbursements revenue earned by ECFS during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $15 million. There were no alternative asset management fees and expense reimbursements revenue recorded by us related to ECFS during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as it was deconsolidated in the second quarter of 2007.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses decreased $37 million, or 23%, and $33 million, or 11%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2007. The comparisons of our operating expenses between the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are impacted by the deconsolidation of ECFS in the second quarter of 2007. Our operating leverage was 2.2% and 2.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and 1.4% and 2.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Operating leverage is our operating expenses plus those of ECFS post-deconsolidation, excluding stock-based compensation and interest expense, divided by our total assets under management at period end. Operating expenses consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (in millions):

in weighted average interest rate due primarily to a decline in LIBOR. The decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was mainly due to a decrease in weighted average interest rate due primarily to a decline in LIBOR. Our weighted average borrowings were $4,333 million and $4,716 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our weighted average borrowings were $4,656 million and $4,611 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 4.4% and 6.1%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 4.8% and 5.8%, respectively.

 

Salaries, Benefits and Stock-based Compensation

 

Salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (in millions):

 

     Three Months Ended

Total salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation

   $ 57    $ 67    $ 113    $ 118
                           

 

Salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation decreased $10 million, or 15%, to $57 million and decreased $5 million, or 4%, to $113 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the prior year periods primarily due to a decrease in incentive compensation from not meeting operating performance criteria and the deconsolidation of ECFS, partially offset by the increase in number of employees and annual salary increases. In response to the changing investment environment, in the second quarter of 2008 as part of a reorganization, we consolidated some of our offices and eliminated over 80 positions.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased $2 million, or 9%, to $20 million, and decreased $4 million, or 9%, to $43 million, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2007. The decrease is primarily due to lower employee recruiting expense and the deconsolidation of ECFS.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

As permitted by the Code, a RIC can designate dividends paid in the subsequent tax year as dividends of current year ordinary taxable income and taxable long-term capital gains if those dividends are both declared by the extended due date of the RIC’s federal income tax return and paid to shareholders by the last day of the subsequent tax year. Accordingly, dividends declared by June 16, 2008, the extended due date of our return, and paid by September 30, 2008, will be comprised of a portion of our ordinary income and all of our long-term capital gain income from the tax year ended September 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2008, we had undistributed ordinary taxable income of $332 million and undistributed short-term and long-term capital gains of $100 million. These amounts are based on a calendar year and include the second quarter 2008 dividend paid on July 1, 2008. The spillover of taxable income based on our tax year end will likely exceed the spillover of our taxable income based on a calendar year due to timing of dividend payments.

 

We are also subject to a nondeductible federal excise tax of 4% if we do not distribute at least 98% of our investment company ordinary taxable income, excluding net short-term capital gains, in any calendar year and 98% of our taxable capital gains for each one-year period ending October 31, including any undistributed income from the prior excise tax year. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2007 and the one-year period ending October 31, 2007, we did not distribute at least 98% of our ordinary taxable income and capital gains and paid

the 4% excise tax. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2008 and the one-year period ending October 31, 2008, we do not expect to distribute at least 98% of our ordinary taxable income and capital gains and therefore we expect to pay the 4% excise tax for those periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we accrued $1 million and $5 million, respectively, of excise tax attributable to undistributed ordinary income, which is included in our provision for income taxes on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we accrued $4 million and $6 million, respectively, of excise tax attributable to undistributed ordinary income, which is included in our provision for income taxes on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we accrued $3 million and $0 million, respectively, of excise tax attributable to undistributed capital gains, which is included in net realized gains on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we accrued $4 million and $0 million, respectively, of excise tax attributable to undistributed capital gains, which is included in net realized gain on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Our consolidated taxable operating subsidiary, ACFS, is subject to corporate level federal and state income tax. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a tax benefit of $7 million and $8 million, respectively, compared to a tax provision of $11 million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, ACFS had an operating loss due to significantly reduced fee income primarily as a result of lower new investment originations in 2008.

A summary of each realized gain or loss of $15 million or more during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is included below:

 

In the second quarter of 2008, we received full repayment of our remaining $9 million subordinated debt investment in BPWest, Inc. and sold all of our equity interests for $75 million in proceeds realizing a total gain of $69 million offset by a reversal of unrealized appreciation of $71 million. The gain that we recognized included escrowed proceeds that we expect to receive of $4 million.

 

In the second quarter of 2008, we received full repayment of our remaining $27 million subordinated debt investment in PHC Acquisition, Inc. and sold equity interests for $32 million in proceeds realizing a total gain of $16 million offset by a reversal of unrealized appreciation of $20 million. We retained a 5.8% common equity interest in the acquiring portfolio company Primrose Holding Corporation. The gain that we recognized included escrowed proceeds that we expect to receive of $4 million.

 

In the first quarter of 2008, we received full repayment of our remaining $29 million subordinated debt investment in Pasternack Enterprises, Inc. and sold all of our equity interests for $44 million in proceeds realizing a total gain of $33 million offset by a reversal of unrealized appreciation of $35 million. The gain that we recognized included escrowed proceeds that we expect to receive of $2 million.

 

In the first quarter of 2008, we received full repayment of our remaining $65 million subordinated debt investment in Exstream Holdings, Inc. and sold our equity interests for $306 million in proceeds realizing a total gain of $18 million offset by a reversal of unrealized appreciation of $23 million. The gain that we recognized included escrowed proceeds that we expect to receive of $8 million.

 

In the second quarter of 2007, a then newly formed holding company, EAG Limited, closed on an initial public offering and began trading on the London Stock Exchange. As part of the offering, we sold all our shares in our portfolio company, EAG Acquisition, LLC, for proceeds of $55 million and received full repayment of our $104 million senior and subordinated debt investment. We realized a total gain of $50 million offset by a reversal of unrealized appreciation of $26 million.

 

In the second quarter of 2007, we received full repayment of our remaining $18 million senior debt investment in The Hygenic Corporation and sold all of our equity interests for $22 million in proceeds realizing a total gain of $22 million offset by a reversal of unrealized appreciation of $22 million. The gain that we recognized included escrowed proceeds that we expect to receive of $1 million.

 

In the second quarter of 2007, our portfolio company Ranpak, Inc. recapitalized its balance sheet that included a partial redemption of its redeemable preferred stock. As part of the recapitalization, we received $71 million in proceeds for the partial redemption of our preferred stock investment in Ranpak Inc, including the full repayment of related accrued dividends, realizing a gain of $19 million.

 

In the second quarter of 2007, the operating assets of Logex Corporation were sold pursuant to an asset purchase and sale agreement. We received cash proceeds from the sale of the operating assets as partial payment on our subordinated debt investments and expect to receive additional payments on our subordinated debt investments from sale proceeds held in escrow. We deemed our equity investments and subordinated debt investments that will not be repaid with any of the sale proceeds held in escrow, as worthless and wrote off the securities realizing a loss of $21 million offset by a reversal of unrealized depreciation of $21 million.

 

We record the accrual of the periodic interest settlements of interest rate swaps in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and subsequently record the amount as a realized gain (loss) on investments on the interest settlement date. Cash payments received or paid for the termination of an interest rate derivative agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss upon termination. Since we generally pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate based on LIBOR under our interest rate swap agreements. The increase in interest rate periodic payments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 is due to the decrease in LIBOR.

Private Finance

 

Our private finance investments consist of loans and equity securities primarily to privately-held middle market companies. There is generally no publicly available information about these companies and there generally does not exist a primary or secondary market for the trading of these privately issued securities. Our investments have been historically exited through normal repayment or a change in control transaction such as a sale or recapitalization of the portfolio company.

 

During the second quarter of 2008, we recorded $292 million of net unrealized depreciation on our private finance portfolio investments, including $34 million of net unrealized depreciation as a result of the change in our accounting methodologies from the adoption of SFAS No. 157. The remaining $258 million of net unrealized depreciation in our private finance portfolio was driven primarily by declines in trading multiples of comparable public companies and cash flows of certain portfolio companies.

 

As discussed in Notes 3 and 5 to our interim consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 157, we were required to modify our valuation methodologies for certain of our private finance investments. The effect on our year to date 2008 earnings from the adoption of SFAS No. 157 was $214 million of unrealized depreciation as follows:

 

   

Market Yield Analysis—prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 157, we generally determined the fair value of our private finance investments by using the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology. This valuation approach results in the determination of a fair value of our investments based on a change of control in an M&A transaction or a recapitalization of the enterprise based on the value of the

enterprise. However, upon the adoption of SFAS No. 157, for investments in debt and redeemable preferred equity securities of portfolio companies for which we do not have the ability to initiate a sale of the portfolio company as of the measurement date and for which there is no active market, we are required under SFAS No. 157 to use a hypothetical secondary market as our principal market. We determine the fair value based on the assumptions that hypothetical market participants would use to value the security in a current hypothetical sale using the Market Yield valuation methodology. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $34 million and $167 million, respectively, of net unrealized depreciation as a result of using a Market Yield valuation methodology to determine the fair value of these investments instead of the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology. We intend to hold these private finance investments until settlement or maturity which would generally be on a change of control event such as a sale or recapitalization of the company. In general, we would not exit these investments in a secondary market where the sale proceeds would be based on a market yield. Accordingly, we do not expect to realize this $167 million of cumulative net unrealized depreciation if we hold the investments to settlement or maturity, and there are no significant unanticipated impairments.

 

   

Transaction Costs—SFAS No. 157 defines fair value in terms of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the “exit price”) and excludes transaction costs. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 157, our valuation policy for investments recently originated or acquired was to generally consider our entry price (which is the initial cost of the investment including transaction costs) in determining fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $47 million of net unrealized depreciation related to recently originated equity investments in our private finance portfolio as a result of using the exit price instead of the entry price in determining their fair values and thereby excluding initial transaction costs in our determination of fair value.

 

American Capital, LLC

 

American Capital, LLC, a wholly-owned portfolio company of American Capital formed in the second quarter of 2007, is a holding company of wholly-owned third-party fund managers. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized $17 million and $157 million, respectively, of unrealized depreciation on our investment in American Capital, LLC, which was primarily driven by a decrease in the trading multiple of comparable asset management companies and a decline in its projected management fees due to a decline in the growth rate of assets under management. The decline in projected assets under management of American Capital, LLC was due in part to additional unrealized depreciation as a result of changes to accounting valuation policies upon the adoption of SFAS No. 157 by the third party alternative asset funds managed by American Capital, LLC.

 

Managed Funds

 

Included in our investments in managed funds is our 68% controlling majority-owned interest in European Capital, a company publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ECAS”. As outlined in our accounting policy and in accordance with the 1940 Act for determining fair value, for securities of companies that are publicly traded for which we have a majority-owned interest, the value is based on the closing market quote on the valuation date plus a control premium if our Board of Directors determines in good faith that additional value above the closing market quote would be obtainable upon transfer of control. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, European Capital’s net asset value per share was €7.87 and €9.67 per share, respectively, and its closing market quote was €6.19 and €6.98 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the fair value of our controlling majority-owned equity interest in European Capital was determined to be €7.09 and €7.88 per share, respectively, which was based on the closing market quote plus a control premium of 15% and 13%, respectively. The $103 million of unrealized depreciation in our investment in European Capital during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was driven primarily by a decrease in the closing market quote from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Including the impact of foreign currency translation, our

Table of Contents

equity investment in European Capital was valued at $810 million and $839 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. A control premium was applied to the closing market quote as it was determined in good faith by our Board of Directors that additional value above the closing market quote would be obtainable upon the sale of our controlling interest in European Capital. The purchaser of the majority-owned controlling interest in European Capital would have the ability to realize the net asset value and take advantage of synergies and other benefits that would result from control over European Capital.

 

Also included in managed funds is our $100 million equity interest in AGNC

 

Structured Products

 

American Capital also has investments in Structured Products such as investment and non-investment grade tranches of CMBS, CLO and CDO securities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $46 million of net unrealized appreciation and $315 million of net unrealized depreciation, respectively, on our Structured Product investments. Our CMBS portfolio, which includes a commercial real estate CDO, experienced $52 million of net unrealized appreciation and $214 million of net unrealized depreciation and our commercial CLO and CDO portfolios experienced $6 million of net unrealized appreciation and $101 million of net unrealized depreciation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. We value our Structured Product investments using the Market Yield valuation methodology. We estimate fair value based on third party broker quotes and cash flow forecasts subject to market participant assumptions regarding the investments’ underlying collateral including, but not limited to, assumptions of default and recovery rates, reinvestment spreads and prepayment rates. Cash flow forecasts are discounted using a market participant’s market yield assumptions that are derived from multiple sources including, but not limited to, third party broker quotes, recent investments and securities with similar structure and risk characteristics. The $46 million of net unrealized appreciation and $315 million of net unrealized depreciation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively and the accumulated net unrealized depreciation as of June 30, 2008 of $499 million is driven primarily by dramatic widening of the investments spreads caused by the liquidity crisis in the market. The liquidity crisis has driven investors’ expected returns on Structured Products. In general, there is not a liquid market for our non-investment grade Structured Product investments. However, there have been a few trades of securities of similar Structured Products in what is considered to be an illiquid distressed market during 2008, which has had the effect of decreasing the values of the overall Structured Products market. Our unrealized depreciation has generally not been driven by actual credit quality of the underlying loan pools as the investments have generally performed as underwritten.

 

We expect that we will hold these Structured Product investments until settlement or maturity. Based on our current assumptions of future default and recovery rates, reinvestment spreads and prepayment rates, we anticipate that we will realize upon the settlement or maturity approximately $476 million more in proceeds than the fair value as of June 30, 2008. The primary difference between the fair value as of June 30, 2008 and the anticipated proceeds at maturity is that the current market yields used to value these securities do not have an impact on our anticipated proceeds at settlement or maturity if our current assumptions of the future credit quality and cash flows prove accurate.

 

Our CMBS bonds are secured by diverse pools of high quality commercial mortgage loans. We also have an investment in ACAS CRE CDO, which is a commercial real estate CDO secured by CMBS bonds. As of June 30, 2008, our total investment in CMBS bonds and ACAS CRE CDO at fair value was $318 million, or 3% of our total investments. Our direct CMBS bonds and the CMBS bonds held by ACAS CRE CDO are secured by approximately $118 billion of commercial mortgage loans, although senior creditors typically have claims against those loans that are superior to our interests. Our investments in these securities have generally performed in accordance with our original underwriting assumptions and through June 30, 2008, we have experienced minimal losses of underlying commercial mortgage loan collateral of the CMBS bonds.

 

Our commercial CLO securities are generally secured by diverse pools of high quality commercial loans and have minimal exposure to residential mortgage loans. Certain of our commercial CLO investments are in a joint

Table of Contents

venture portfolio company. As of June 30, 2008, our investment in commercial CLO securities at fair value was $142 million, or only 1% of our total investments. Our commercial CLO securities are secured by approximately $11 billion of primarily commercial loans, although senior creditors typically have claims against those loans that are superior to our interests. Our investments in these securities have generally performed in accordance with our original underwriting assumptions.

 

Our CDO securities are generally secured by diverse pools of bonds of other securitizations including commercial loans, CMBS and residential mortgage backed securities. Our investments are in four CDO funds managed by four separate portfolio managers. Certain of our CDO investments are in a joint venture portfolio company. As of June 30, 2008, our total investment in CDO securities at fair value was only $3 million, or less than 1% of our total investments. Our CDO securities are secured by approximately $2 billion of collateral, although senior creditors typically have claims against those loans that are superior to our interests.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

We have a limited amount of investments in portfolio companies, including European Capital, for which the investment is denominated in a foreign currency, primarily the Euro. We also have other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates therefore impact our financial condition and results of operations, as reported in U.S. dollars. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the foreign currency translation adjustment recorded in our interim consolidated statements of operations as unrealized appreciation was $73 million primarily as a result of the Euro appreciating against the U.S. dollar.

 

Interest Rate Derivative Agreements

 

For interest rate derivative agreements, we estimate the fair value based on the estimated net present value of the future cash flows using a forward interest rate yield curve in effect as of the measurement period, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any, including an evaluation of our credit risk and our counterparty’s credit risk. A negative fair value would represent an amount we would have to pay a third party and a positive fair value would represent an amount we would receive from a third party to assume our obligation under an interest rate derivative agreement. They generally appreciate or depreciate primarily based on relative market interest rates and their remaining term to maturity. The change in fair value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of derivative agreements. The increase in the fair value of our derivative agreements in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 is primarily due to an increase in the forward interest rate yield curve during the quarter.

 

Fair Value Compared to Realizable Value

 

We invest primarily in Level 3 assets, generally with the intention to hold the assets to settlement or maturity. We anticipate holding the debt investments in our private finance portfolio until maturity or until they are repaid through a change of control of the portfolio company; however we cannot estimate the future sale date and the time period before the debt investments would be settled before their maturity date. We also intend to hold our Structured Product investments until maturity, which could be in excess of ten years. The current lack of liquidity in the financial markets has caused investment spreads between the cost of funds and investment income to widen dramatically on our investments, which in most cases results in current fair values for many Level 3 assets that are materially lower than the values we anticipate realizing on settlement or maturity (“Realizable Value”). This is especially true regarding fair value estimates on investments with longer expected settlement or maturity dates. The current market yields used to value these investments should not have an impact on the amount of proceeds we would expect to receive upon settlement or maturity.

 

For example, at the end of the second quarter of 2008, we held an investment in a commercial real estate collateralized debt obligation (ACAS CRE CDO) that has been depreciated $177 million inception to date, including $128 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. This investment is currently producing

Table of Contents

approximately $7 million per quarter of cash flow, but its current fair value determined in accordance with GAAP is $45 million; however, we anticipate realizing our $222 million investment on settlement or maturity based on our assumptions of future credit losses, which includes a recession over the life of the investment. We believe the valuations of investments such as these are significantly impacted by both the lack of demand for such products and the lack of liquidity in the current market to finance the acquisition of these investments, thereby decreasing leveraged returns and prices that market participants are willing to pay for these securities. As such, there are material differences between the current GAAP fair value of several classes of our Level 3 assets compared to the value we anticipate we will realize on settlement or maturity.

 

We noted that in March 2008, the staff of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance published a letter that it had sent to a number of public companies regarding the disclosures in their periodic reports of the impact of SFAS No. 157. In the letter, companies are asked to consider disclosing for level 3 assets “… whether you believe the fair values diverge materially from the amounts you currently anticipate realizing on settlement or maturity. If so, disclose why and provide the basis for your views.” Because we believe many of these GAAP fair values diverge materially from the Realizable Value, we will begin to provide pro forma information on the Realizable Value of our assets in comparison to the fair value determined under GAAP.

 

We currently expect that our Realizable Value will exceed our fair value determined in accordance with GAAP as of June 30, 2008 by approximately $639 million.

 

With the exception of one portfolio investment that can be valued using quoted prices in active markets, the rest of our portfolio company investments are valued using Level 3 inputs. The following table summarizes the current GAAP cost basis and fair value of our investments as of June 30, 2008 compared to the Realizable Value (in millions):

(1) Use of Non-GAAP Information—Realizable Value is a non-GAAP financial measure which management uses in its internal analysis of results, and believes may be informative to investors gauging the quality of the Company’s assets and financial performance from a long-term perspective, identifying trends in its results and providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Realizable Value is defined as the future value that American Capital currently anticipates realizing on the settlement or maturity of its investments. It does not represent current GAAP fair value or net present value. American Capital believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides information useful to investors because American Capital generally intends to hold its assets to settlement or maturity, and there may be material differences between the GAAP fair values of its investments and the amounts American Capital expects to realize on settlement or maturity. This is primarily because the current lack of liquidity in the financial markets has caused investment spreads between the cost of funds and investment income to widen significantly on investments, resulting in current fair values under SFAS No. 157 that are materially lower than what American Capital currently anticipates realizing on settlement or maturity. American Capital believes that providing investors with Realizable Value in addition to the related GAAP fair value gives investors greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial operational decision-making. Although American Capital believes that this non-GAAP financial measure enhances investors’ understanding of its business and performance, Realizable Value should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP basis financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Realizable Value to GAAP fair value is set forth above.

Third Party Valuation of Portfolio Investments

 

Our Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for determining the fair value of our portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith. In that regard, the Board of Directors retains independent third party valuation firms to assist it by having the third party valuation firms regularly perform certain procedures that the Board identifies and requests the respective third party firms to perform on a predetermined selection of the Board’s fair value determinations (“Procedures”). The Board of Directors may also obtain valuation assistance from such firms on other portfolio investments. Representatives from the valuation firms also attend our quarterly valuation meetings and provide their respective quarterly reports to the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors. Each quarter, the third party valuation firms will perform Procedures on our determination of the aggregate fair value of approximately one fourth of our investments in companies that have both been portfolio companies for at least one year and that have a fair value in excess of $25 million, in accordance with our valuation procedures.

 

Our Board of Directors engaged two valuation firms, Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors Inc. (“Houlihan Lokey”) and Duff & Phelps, LLC (“Duff & Phelps”) to perform Procedures on our fair value determinations for the second quarter of 2008. Houlihan Lokey and Duff & Phelps are both leading international valuation firms. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, Houlihan Lokey performed its Procedures on valuations of a total of 13 portfolio investments, with a value of $1.0 billion. This value is approximately 10% of the fair value of American Capital’s total investments as of June 30, 2008. Duff & Phelps also performed its Procedures on valuations of an additional ten portfolio investments, with a fair value of $0.3 billion as of the period end. This value is approximately 3% of the fair value of our total investments as of June 30, 2008. For the last four quarters, third party valuation firms performed Procedures on an aggregate of 85 portfolio companies totaling $6.9 billion in fair value as of their respective valuation dates, in accordance with our valuation procedures. For those portfolio investments on which each valuation firm has performed Procedures during each applicable period, using the scope of review set forth by our Board of Directors and in accordance with our valuation procedures, the Board of Directors has made a fair value determination for such investments that is within each valuation firm’s aggregate range of fair value for the investments. Additionally, in connection with its review, Duff & Phelps also concluded that the aggregate range of fair value determined by the Board of Directors for the investments that it performed Procedures, was not unreasonable.

Realized Earnings

 

As unrealized net (depreciation) appreciation does not impact our ability to pay a dividend on our common stock, we believe that realized earnings per common share, rather than net (loss) earnings per common share, is a more relevant financial measure. We calculate realized earnings as our net (loss) earnings less net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation. The following table summarizes our realized earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (in millions, except per share amounts):

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of June 30, 2008, we had $262 million in cash and cash equivalents and $229 million of restricted cash. On July 1, 2008, we paid $209 million in a cash dividend for our dividend declared in the second quarter of 2008. Our restricted cash consists primarily of collections of interest and principal payments on assets that are securitized. In accordance with the terms of the related securitized debt agreements, those funds are generally distributed each quarter to pay interest and principal on the securitized debt and are not available for our general operations. As of June 30, 2008, we had $1,574 million of availability under our revolving credit facilities (excluding standby letters of credit of $16 million). As discussed below, our ability to draw on these facilities though is limited due to the restrictions on leverage for BDCs under the 1940 Act and/or the expiration of one of the facilities in October 2008. During the first and second quarters of 2008, we principally funded our investments as follows:

 

   

Draws on revolving credit facilities;

 

   

Proceeds from the issuance of common stock from an equity offering and under a forward sale agreement; and

 

   

Syndications of senior loans, repayments of loans and sales of equity investments.

 

The crisis in the global credit markets during the past year has adversely affected a wide range of industry sectors including, but not limited to, asset management (including private equity, mutual funds and hedge funds), banking and capital markets, insurance and real estate companies. We believe that the market disruption may continue to adversely affect such companies with respect to the valuation of their investment portfolios, tighter lending standards, and reduced access to capital. We also believe that the economy has entered into a recession. A recession may lead to a further decline in earnings and/or decline in valuation multiples for our portfolio companies. Also, the liquidity crisis could further widen the investment spreads on structured products causing a decrease in the fair value of our Structured Product investments. Although we cannot predict future market conditions, we believe that the financing resources currently available to us as well as our continuing ability to generate operating cash flows and sell existing portfolio investments will provide us with adequate liquidity to execute our current business strategy. Additionally, our remaining 2008 business plan has been developed with certain assumptions, such as no new capital raises and the reinvestment of capital only as we experience liquidity through realizations from exits and repayments.

 

Our ability to draw on our revolving credit facilities can be reduced under certain circumstances, including a reduction in our net worth below specified minimum thresholds, a decrease in our corporate unsecured debt

rating below a specified level and a decrease in our asset coverage ratios below a specified threshold. In addition, our ability to draw under our $1.3 billion secured revolving credit facility expires in October 2008. If the facility is not extended, any principal amounts then outstanding will be amortized over a 24-month period. We will look to extend or replace our secured revolving credit facility on favorable terms prior to its termination date in October 2008, but that cannot be assured. We also intend to seek to amend covenants in our other debt facilities to improve or maintain availability. If we are unable to do so, our current access to liquidity could be reduced. For instance, if we experience future net decreases in shareholders’ equity from operations, our net worth could decrease below the minimum thresholds required in our revolving credit facilities or our ability to borrow may be limited due to the restrictions on leverage for BDCs under the 1940 Act. A breach of these covenants could have material adverse consequences, such as a rating agency downgrade and/or acceleration of the debt outstanding under our revolving and unsecured term debt facilities. Also, certain of our borrowing facilities include a cross-default provision under which a payment or covenant default in another facility could cause a default in that facility. It is likely that we would not have the liquidity to repay accelerated debt in the above circumstances.

 

As a BDC, our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, must be at least 200% after each issuance of senior securities. We are also required to distribute annually 90% or more of our ordinary taxable income to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our asset coverage was 225% and 234%, respectively. In addition, we were in compliance with the requirements for a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for such periods.

 

We are also generally not able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below our net asset value per share, exclusive of any distributing commission or discount without shareholder approval. As of June 30, 2008, our net asset value per share was $27.01 per share and our closing market price was $23.77 per share. We do not have shareholder approval to sell shares below our net asset value per share. To the extent that our common stock continues to trade at a market price below our net asset value per share during 2008, we will be precluded from raising equity capital through public offerings of our common stock. The asset coverage requirement of a BDC under the 1940 Act also effectively limits our ratio of debt to equity to 1:1. To the extent that we are unable to raise capital through the issuance of equity in 2008, our ability to raise capital through the issuance of debt may also be inhibited to the extent of our regulatory debt to equity ratio limits.

 

Equity Capital Raising Activities

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we completed several public offerings of our common stock in which shares were sold either directly by us or by forward purchasers in connection with forward sale agreements (“FSA”). As of June 30, 2008, all of the FSA have been fully settled. The following table summarizes the total shares sold directly by us, including shares sold pursuant to underwriters’ over-allotment options and through FSA, and the proceeds we received, excluding underwriting fees and issuance costs, for the public offerings of our common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (in millions):

Table of Contents

In March 2008, we completed a public offering in which 8.7 million shares of our common stock were sold at a public offering price of $36.41 per share. Upon completion of the offering we received proceeds, net of the underwriters’ discount, of $302 million in exchange for the 8.7 million common shares. In addition, we granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 1.3 million common shares. The over-allotment option expired without being exercised by the underwriters.

 

Stock Buy-Back Plan

 

In January 2008, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a stock buy-back program, which allows for the repurchase of up to a maximum of $500 million of our common stock at prices below our net asset value per share as reported in our then most recently published financial statements. The stock repurchase plan is subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations including restrictions under certain of our borrowings. We anticipate that share repurchases will be made from time to time, depending upon market conditions. Shares may be repurchased in the open market, including through block repurchases, or through privately negotiated transactions. We do not intend to repurchase any shares from our directors, officers or other affiliates. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be discontinued at any time. We intend to fund the repurchases with available cash. The repurchase program is expected to be in effect through December 31, 2008, or until the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we purchased a total 0.2 million shares of our common stock in the open market for $6 million at an average price of $31.20 per share under this program. We did not make any purchases under this program during the second quarter of 2008.

The daily weighted average debt balance for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $4,656 million and $4,611 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 4.4% and 6.1%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 4.8% and 5.8%, respectively.

 

Portfolio Credit Quality

 

We stop accruing interest on our investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Our valuation analysis serves as a critical piece of data in this determination. A significant change in the portfolio company valuation assigned by us could have an effect on the amount of our loans on non-accrual status. As of June 30, 2008, loans on non-accrual status for 23 portfolio companies were $481 million, calculated as the cost plus unamortized OID, and had a fair value of $116 million.

During the second quarter of 2008, we recapitalized three portfolio companies by exchanging our debt security for a preferred equity security that had a cost basis of $30 million and a fair value of $2 million.

 

During the first quarter of 2008, we recapitalized one portfolio company by exchanging our debt security for a preferred equity security that had a cost basis of $39 million and a fair value of $1 million.

 

Credit Statistics

 

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

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

We track our portfolio investments on a static pool basis, including based on the statistics described above. A static pool consists of the investments made during a given year. The static pool classification is based on the year the initial investment was made. Subsequent add-on investments are included in the static pool year of the original investment. The Pre-1999 static pool consists of the investments made from the time of our IPO through the year ended December 31, 1998.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

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

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

In the context of Item 3, market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in financial and derivative instrument market rates and prices, such as fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates. For a discussion of sensitivity analysis related to these types of market risks, refer to Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in American Capital’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company believes that there have been no material changes in these market risks since December 31, 2007.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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

 

American Capital, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
