8.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company operated as a Business Development Company (“BDC”) until January 20, 2009, when it elected to no longer be treated as a BDC.  As a part of its operations and consistent with the operating parameters of a BDC, the Company developed a number of relationships with its portfolio company investments, including members of the Company's board of directors becoming officers and directors of its portfolio company investments.  The Company made loans to the portfolio companies and entered into management agreements with the portfolio companies.  As a result of operating as a BDC and then converting to an operating company, a number of its previous relationships were required to be categorized as related party transactions.  Subsequently, these transactions ceased to qualify as related party transactions due to the termination of the related party relationship.

 

While operating as a BDC the Company had management contracts and made loans to its 60% owned subsidiary USN. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation with USN.
