CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue” or “believe” or the negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our plans, strategies, prospects and expectations concerning our business, operating results, financial condition and other similar matters. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. Our forward-looking statements include information in this report regarding general domestic and global economic conditions, our future financing plans, our ability to operate as a business development company (“BDC”) and the expected performance of, and the yield on, our portfolio companies. There may be events in the future, however, that we are not able to predict accurately or control. The factors listed under “Risk Factors” as well as any cautionary language in this report, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. The occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this report could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial position. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report speaks only as of the date of this report. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Under Section 21E(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to statements made in periodic reports we file under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements:

our future operating results;

changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets;

uncertainty surrounding the strength of the U.S. economic recovery;

our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

the impact of investments that we expect to make;

the impact of increased competition;

our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;

the ability of our current prospective portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;

the relative and absolute performance of our investment adviser;

our expected financings and investments;

the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments;

· our ability to make distributions;;

Table of Contents

the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital including our ability to raise additional capital;

the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies;

the impact of future acquisitions and divestitures;

the effect of changes in tax laws and regulations and interpretations thereof;

our ability to maintain our status as a BDC and a qualifying regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

actual and potential conflicts of interest with Siguler Guff Advisers, LLC (“Siguler Guff Advisers” or the “Investment Manager”) and its affiliates;

1.	Business and Organization

Siguler Guff Small Business Credit Opportunities Fund, Inc. (“SBCOF” or the “Company”), was incorporated in Maryland on July 7, 2014 as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company and has elected status as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) on July 1, 2015. Siguler Guff Advisers, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) serves as the Company’s Investment Manager. The Investment Manager is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to the 1940 Act. One hundred percent of the stock of the Company is held by Siguler Guff Small Business Credit Opportunities Fund, LP (the “Partnership”). Prior to commencing its operations on October 13, 2015, the Company had no operations other than the issuance to the Partnership of 100,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value for $25,000 in September 2014.

Since the Partnership owns one hundred percent of the stock of the Company, the term of the Company will be the same as that of the Partnership. The term of the Partnership will continue until the later to occur of: (a) September 17, 2026, or (b) the date of which all the Partnership’s assets have been distributed and the Partnership’s obligations (including contingent obligations) have terminated, unless the Partnership is sooner dissolved in accordance with Article 9 of its Partnership Agreement dated July 9, 2014 and amended as of July 12, 2017. The term may be extended for up to three additional years with the consent of the Advisory Board.

The Company’s investment objective is to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns by generating current income from debt investments. There can be no assurance that the Company will attain its investment objective. The Company will typically invest in U.S. companies in the lower middle market segment. The Investment Manager defines the “lower middle market” as privately-owned companies with between $2 to $15 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), and between $10 to $100 million of revenue. Investments take the form of mezzanine debt as well as some “unitranche” loans with a first lien on a company’s assets, as well as second lien loans. The Partnership generally seeks to purchase equity securities alongside the Company’s investments into those same companies, generally with an aggregate cost of up to 20% of the value of the Company’s total investment. The Company also may extend mezzanine financing in forms other than subordinated loans, such as convertible loans and preferred stock.

The Company jointly co-invests in investments alongside the Partnership and Siguler Guff SBCOF Parallel Fund, LP (the “Parallel Partnership”) and may co-invest with other investment funds managed by or otherwise affiliated with the Investment Manager (collectively, the “Affiliated Funds”). The Company and the Affiliated Funds generally invest pro-rata and pari passu with each other in investments, except when tax, regulatory or investment restrictions prevent the Company or the Affiliated Funds from investing. The General Partner of the Partnership and Parallel Partnership is an Affiliate of the Investment Manager.

The Company is subject to certain investment guidelines and restrictions as set forth in its registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2018.

Basis of Accounting

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material. The most significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements are the valuation of investments and revenue recognition.

The Company is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance as prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).

The financial statements include portfolio investments at fair value of $3926,~~374~~020,~~065~~695 at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 and $2341,~~211~~154,~~946~~948 at December 31, ~~2016~~2017. The portfolio investments represent ~~140~~147% of net assets at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~129~~140% of net assets at December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and their fair values have been determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors (“Directors”). Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the determined values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and the differences could be material.

Consolidation

The Company has certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, including subsidiaries that are not consolidated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which hold certain portfolio investments of the Company. These subsidiaries are consolidated with the Company for accounting purposes, and the portfolio investments held by the subsidiaries are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements as investments. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The investments held through the subsidiaries are reflected in the Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments in addition to any investments the Company holds directly. As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly-owned investment company or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in its financial statements.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the amount 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. A liability's fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available or reliable, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments' complexity.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

The FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the amount 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. A liability's fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available or reliable, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments' complexity.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Company's consolidated financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data at the measurement date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Under ASC 820, the Company performs detailed valuations of its debt investments for which quotations are not readily available on an individual basis, using bond yield, market and income approaches as appropriate. In certain instances, the Company may use alternative methodologies, including recent purchase transactions, asset liquidation, expected recovery model or other alternative approaches to estimate the fair value.

Investments where market quotations for securities of the same issue are readily available on an exchange are marked-to-market at fair value at the closing price on the financial statement date. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value.

Under the bond yield approach, the Company uses bond yield models to determine the present value of the future cash flow streams of its debt investments. The Company reviews various sources of transactional data, including private mergers and acquisitions involving debt investments with similar characteristics, and assesses the information in the valuation process.

Under the market approach, the Company estimates the enterprise value of the portfolio companies in which it invests. There is no one methodology to estimate enterprise value and, in fact, for any one portfolio company, enterprise value is best expressed as a range of fair values, from which the Company derives a single estimate of enterprise value. To estimate the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the Company analyzes various factors, including the portfolio company's historical and projected financial results. Typically, private companies are valued based on multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income or revenues. The Company generally requires portfolio companies to provide annual audited and quarterly or monthly unaudited financial statements, as well as annual projections for the upcoming fiscal year.

Under the income approach, the Company generally prepares and analyzes discounted cash flow models based on projections of the future free cash flows of the business.

Investments

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date unless there are substantial conditions to the purchase. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized. Realized gains or losses on the disposition of investments are calculated using the specific identification method.

Cash

Cash is comprised of deposit accounts held at one United States financial institution. During the period, the balances held at the financial institution may at times exceed federally insured limits.

Income and Expense

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company stops accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Fees received upon closing a transaction generally are treated as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment. Any resulting discount, or closing fee received, from recording the loan or otherwise purchasing a security at a discount, is accreted into interest income over the life of the loan using the effective-yield method.

The Company has investments in debt securities which contain payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest provisions. PIK interest is computed at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement and added to the principal balance of the investment and recorded as interest income. The Company stops accruing PIK interest on investments when it is determined that PIK interest is no longer collectible.

Other income includes the estimated amount of the exit fee due to the Company in connection with the purchase of the NetFortris Operating Co., Inc. term notes. The asreallocation ~~well~~of asother aincome ~~prepayment~~is ~~fee~~due ~~received~~a inportion ~~connection~~of ~~with~~ the ~~sale~~exit offee ~~the~~and ~~Rudy's~~corresponding ~~Food~~receivable ~~Products,~~being ~~Inc.~~distributed ~~senior~~to ~~subordinated~~the ~~notes~~Partnership.

Due to additional commitments received in 2017 by the Partnership and Parallel Partnership, portfolio investments and items of income and expense have been reallocated between the Company, the Partnership and the Parallel Partnership to reflect committed capital ownership percentages as of the Final Closing, which occurred on September 29, 2017.

Prior to the Final Closing, portfolio investments and items of income and expense were allocated according to the committed capital ownership percentages as of the latest Closing. Following the Final Closing, reallocation of portfolio investments and items of income and expense between the Company, the Partnership and the Parallel Partnership has occurred.

As a result, included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 are reallocations of amounts previously included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. Below is a summary of such adjustments:

Income Taxes

~~During~~As ~~the~~of ~~period~~January ~~ended September 30~~1, ~~2017 and the year ended December 31~~2018, ~~2016,~~ the Company ~~did~~believes ~~not~~that ~~qualify~~it qualifies to be treated as a ~~regulated~~Regulated ~~investment~~Investment ~~company,~~Company or (“RIC,”) ~~for~~under ~~federal~~subchapter ~~income~~M ~~tax purposes. As such, the Company will be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is anticipated that, by the end~~ of the ~~third~~Internal ~~year~~Revenue ofCode ~~its investment operations,~~ (the ~~Company~~“Code) ~~will~~and ~~seek~~operates toin ~~meet~~a ~~the~~manner ~~requirements,~~so ~~including~~as ~~diversification, gross income, and distribution requirements,~~ to qualify for the ~~special~~tax ~~pass-through~~treatment ~~status~~applicable ~~available~~ to RICs ~~under the Internal Revenue Code, and thus to be relieved of federal income tax on that part of its net investment income and realized capital gains that it distributes~~. ~~Unless~~ ~~and~~It ~~until~~is the Company’s ~~meets~~intention ~~these~~to ~~requirements,~~make itthe ~~will~~election befor ~~taxed~~treatment as a ~~corporation~~RIC onin its ~~taxable~~tax ~~income~~filing for ~~that~~the year ~~even~~ended ifDecember ~~that~~31, ~~income~~2018. isPrior ~~distributed~~ to ~~the~~January ~~Partnership (its sole stockholder)~~1, ~~and all distributions out of its earnings and profits will be taxable as dividends to the investors of the Partnership; thus~~2018, ~~such income will be subject to two layers of tax (although corporate Limited Partners may be entitled to a dividends-received deduction). There is no assurance that~~ the Company ~~will~~was ~~meet~~treated ~~the requirements to qualify~~ as a ~~RIC~~corporation orfor beU.S. ~~able~~federal toincome ~~maintain~~tax ~~such status~~purposes.

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, the Company is required to distribute annually to its shareholder at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid federal excise taxes, the Company must distribute annually at least 98% of its ordinary income and 98.2% of net capital gains from the current year and any undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from the preceding years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. If the Company chooses to do so, all other things being equal, this would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to the Partnership (its sole shareholder). The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in-capital or accumulated net realized gain/(loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax treatment of certain loans and the tax characterization of income and non-deductible expenses. These differences are generally determined in conjunction with the preparation of the Company’s annual RIC tax return.

Book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified among the Company's capital accounts. In addition, the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from U.S. GAAP. The Company may pay distributions in excess of its taxable net investment income. This excess would be a tax-free return of capital in the period and reduce the shareholder's tax basis in its shares.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact to the financial statements of the Company, and therefore, no provisions are required to be recorded by the Company. The Company does not anticipate significant increases to uncertain tax positions in the next twelve months. The Company will recognize any interest and penalties, if applicable, for any uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recorded during the period ended March 31, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017 or accrued for as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. At March 31, 2018, no examinations were being conducted by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. Under the respective statute of limitations, tax years beginning in 2015 remain subject to examination by the various tax jurisdictions.

During the period prior to January 1, 2018, the Company did not qualify to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, for federal income tax purposes. As such, the Company was treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company was taxed on its taxable income even if that income was distributed to the Partnership, and all distributions out of its earnings and profits were taxable as dividends to the investors of the Partnership; thus, such income was subject to two layers of tax (although corporate Limited Partners may be entitled to a dividends-received deduction).

Income taxes payable/(receivable) and prepaid taxes, including deferred benefits, consists of the following:

	For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017			For the Year Ended December 31, 2016

(2) The current state income tax (benefit)/expense is net of the use of state net operating losses totaling $41,822 as of September 30, 2016.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.

As of ~~September 30, 2017 and~~ December 31, ~~2016~~2017, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that an amount of the deferred tax assets, relating to the period after RIC qualification, would not be utilized. Therefore, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $~~164~~130,~~388~~190 ~~and $168,986~~ against its net deferred tax assets, for the ~~period ending September 30, 2017 and for the~~ year ending December 31, ~~2016,~~2017 ~~respectively,~~ representing the portion of net deferred tax assets for which the Company iswas not expected to realize a benefit after the Company meets RIC qualification. If the Company ~~determines~~determined that it would be able to realize net deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no federal or state net operating loss carryforwards.

The effective tax rate varied from the statutory federal income tax rates. The effective tax rate is affected by a number of factors, the most significant of which has been the state income taxes and valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets.

On December 22, 2017, H.R. 1, also known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), was enacted, which significantly revised U.S. corporate income tax by, lowering corporate income tax rates. ASC 740, requires the re-measurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities that existed as of December 22, 2017, to the new federal income tax rate of 21% as well as any federal impact associated with state and local deferred income taxes. As of December 31, 2017, the Company accounted for the effects of the Tax Act by recording a decrease to its net deferred tax assets of $67,645 and a corresponding decrease of $67,645 to the valuation allowance. As a result, there was a gross impact to the tax provision from the re-measurement of U.S. deferred tax assets at lower enacted tax rates. However, since there was a full valuation allowance being recorded by the Company against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017, there was no impact on the Company’s tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2017, as a result of the Tax Act.

Other Receivable

Included in other receivable is the estimated amount of the exit fee due to the Company in connection with the purchase of the NetFortris Operating Co., Inc. term notes. The exit fee rate is 2.75% per year of the outstanding principal balance of the term notes through the fiscal quarter ending ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018. Thereafter, the exit fee rate is 2.75% per year of the outstanding principal balance of the term notes if the senior leverage ratio of the portfolio investment is greater than or equal to 3.50x, 1.25% per year of the outstanding principal balance of the term notes if the senior leverage ratio of the portfolio investment is less than 3.50x and greater than or equal to 3.00x or 0.25% per year of the outstanding principal balance of the term notes if the senior leverage ratio of the portfolio investment is less than 3.00x. The exit fee accrues monthly and will be repaid in addition to the principal at the maturity date, or if repaid earlier. On March 28, 2018, the Company reallocated a portion of the other receivable and corresponding other income correlated to the asset distribution to the Partnership to be qualified as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes (see Note 2).

Investor Note Credit Facility

On August 8, 2017, the Company, Partnership and Parallel Partnership entered into a credit facility of short term borrowings (the “Credit Facility”) in the amount of $10,000,000 collateralized by the unfunded Committed Equity Capital of the Limited Partners of the Partnership and Parallel Partnership. The Credit Facility is intended to fund the operations of the Company, Partnership and Parallel Partnership and is scheduled to expire on August 8, 2018, subject to extension. In consideration for establishing the Credit Facility, the Partnership and Parallel Partnership paid a Facility Fee in the amount of 0.25% times the maximum commitment amount. The Credit Facility is stated at its outstanding principal amount and bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.55%. In addition, an unused commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum times the difference between the total commitment amount and the average daily outstanding amount of principal is incurred as an expense. As of September 30, 2017, the Credit Facility held an outstanding balance of $5,700,000 of which the Company’s portion was $4,600,000 at a rate of 2.78%. The weighted average interest rate from the date of the first drawdown was 2.78%. The balance presented on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value.

Investor Note Credit Facility

On August 8, 2017, the Company, Partnership and Parallel Partnership entered into a credit facility of short term borrowings (the “Credit Facility”) in the amount of $10,000,000 collateralized by the unfunded Committed Equity Capital of the Limited Partners of the Partnership and Parallel Partnership. On December 15, 2017, the Credit Facility was amended and increased to $40,000,000. The Credit Facility is intended to fund the operations of the Company, Partnership and Parallel Partnership and is scheduled to expire on August 8, 2018, subject to extension. In consideration for establishing the Credit Facility, the Partnership and Parallel Partnership paid a Facility Fee in the amount of 0.25% times the maximum commitment amount.

In addition, an unused commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum times the difference between the total commitment amount and the average daily outstanding amount of principal is incurred as an expense. From the date of the first drawdown through March 31, 2018, the Credit Facility held an outstanding balance of $30,940,000 of which the Company’s portion was $13,022,225 at a rate between 2.78% and 3.43%. The weighted average interest rate for the period ending March 31, 2018 was 3.22%. The balance presented on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value, which would be categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. On March 28, 2018, the Company distributed a portion of the outstanding Credit Facility balance correlated to the asset distribution to the Partnership to be qualified as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes (see Note 2).

The Company is required to maintain a minimum asset coverage ratio (total assets-to-debt outstanding) of 2.00 under the 1940 Act. As of March 31, 2018, the Fund had an asset coverage ratio of 2.35.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs consist of fees and expenses paid in connection with the closing of and amendment to the Company’s Credit Facility. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the Credit Facility. Deferred financing costs related to the Credit Facility are presented on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. On March 28, 2018, the Company distributed a portion of the deferred financing costs correlated to the asset distribution to the Partnership to be qualified as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes (see Note 2).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). Under ASU 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the guidance in ASU 2014-09 and has the same effective date as the original standard.

3.	Portfolio Investments

The terms and conditions of the portfolio investments, including restrictions on resale, are subject to the terms of the companies’ purchase and sale agreements, limited partnership agreements, private placement memoranda and other governing documents.

Purchases of investments for the period ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 totaled $2014,~~158~~485,~~321~~565.

Purchases of investments for the period ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2016~~2017 totaled $6,~~079~~597,~~884~~416. There were no sales, repayments or other exits of investments ~~for~~during the period ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2016~~2017.

At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~2017, the cost of portfolio investments for federal income tax purposes was $3326,~~400~~106,~~172~~563 and $2330,~~324~~498,~~043~~160, respectively. There was no aggregate or net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of portfolio investments for federal income tax purposes.

The Company’s investment holdings are illiquid, with the exception of the Money Market Fund, and are subject to redemption/resale restrictions in accordance with their respective agreements.

The Company’s investments are subject to general economic, political and market risk. These factors may affect the level and volatility of prices and the liquidity of Portfolio Investments, which could adversely affect the Company’s profitability or result in losses.

In addition, the Company is subject to credit risk (the risk that an issuer or borrower will default in the payment of principal and/or interest on an instrument), interest rate risk (the risks associated with market changes in interest rates), illiquidity risk/risks of investing in smaller and lower middle market size companies (the risk that the value of Portfolio Investment will decline sharply after its purchase, whether because of adverse developments affecting that security or a general withdrawal of capital from the small and lower middle market) and concentration/lack of diversification risk (various factors, including prevailing market conditions, available investment opportunities, regulatory constraints, constraints imposed by certain portfolio companies, and the timing of investments, may prevent the Investment Manager from diversifying the Company’s portfolio or may result in the Company’s portfolio not being as diversified as the Investment Manager may otherwise prefer).

Lastly, the Company is subject to subordination of interest risk. Portfolio Investments may be in subordinated loans, structurally subordinated loans, mezzanine loans and other structured investments and preferred equity interests or equity interests of an issuer. These Portfolio Investments will be subordinated to the senior obligations of the property or issuer, either contractually, structurally or inherently due to the nature of the securities. Greater credit risks are usually attached to these subordinated investments than to investments in senior obligations. In addition, these securities may not be protected by financial or other covenants, such as limitations upon additional indebtedness, typically protecting the senior debt, and may have limited liquidity.

~~The Company’s risk of loss related to any one investment is generally limited to its aggregate investment in such Portfolio Investment.~~22

The Company’s risk of loss related to any one investment is generally limited to its aggregate investment in such Portfolio Investment.

4.	Capital Stock

The Company is owned entirely by the Partnership, to which the Company sold 100,000 shares (“Initial Shares”), at a price of $0.25 per share in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”) pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (“Regulation D”) thereof. The Partnership offers and sells limited partnership interests (the “Interests”) to investors (the “Limited Partners”) in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act pursuant to Regulation D, and will sell its Interests in offerings solely to persons that are both “accredited investors”, as that term is defined in Regulation D, and “qualified purchasers” within the meaning of the 1940 Act. To the extent called for by the Company, the Partnership, subject to its approval of the need for such funds, may make further contributions to the capital of the Company to the extent of the Limited Partners’ capital commitment to the Partnership (“Committed Equity Capital”). Total Committed Equity Capital of the Partnership is $112,960,000. Total contributed capital to the Partnership through ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 was $5944,~~083~~619,~~413~~200, of which $2634,~~154~~331,~~908~~057 was contributed to the Company.

Two Limited Partners of the Partnership have Committed Equity Capital in excess of ten percent of the total Committed Equity Capital of the Partnership, which cumulatively represent approximately 29% of the total Committed Equity Capital of the Partnership. The concentration of these partners’ Committed Equity Capital could have a material effect on the Partnership and the Company in the event of default or other actions by these partners.

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~2017, there were 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized, and 100,000 shares issued and outstanding.

During the ~~nine month~~ periods ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2016, the Independent Directors received compensation from the Company aggregating to $126,750 and $124,750, respectively. During the three month periods ended September 30,~~ 2017 ~~and September 30~~, ~~2016,~~ the Independent Directors received compensation from the Company aggregating to $4142,250 and $41,250, respectively.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner of the Partnership and Parallel Partnership shall bear all costs related to the organization, offering, distribution and placement of the partnership interests in the Partnership and Parallel Partnership that exceed $1,500,000 or 0.40% of the Aggregate Capital Commitments. As of March 31, 2018, the General Partner incurred a total of $134,872 of expenses over this threshold related to the Partnership and Parallel Partnership. For the period ended March 31, 2018, the Company did not incur any expenses that were over this threshold.

Due from Affiliates represents amounts paid on behalf of the Company by the Partnership and Parallel Partnership in connection with the purchase of underlying investments and income and expenses paid or received on behalf of the Company.

On March 28, 2018, the Company sold $2,148,905 of senior subordinated notes in Chairman’s Foods, LLC and $1,307,355 of term notes in Environmental Group Holdings, LLC to an affiliated entity.

7.	Fees and Expenses

As compensation for its services, the Investment Manager will receive an investment management fee from the Company (the “Investment Management Fee”). ~~For~~The ~~the period from October 13, 2015 (commencement of operations) through November 8, 2016, the~~ Investment Management Fee was paid by the Company quarterly in arrears in an amount equal to 1.7525% per annum of the Company’s Invested Capital, as measured as of the close of business on the last business day of such quarterly period. “Invested Capital” means the cost basis of the portfolio investments of the Company (excluding cash and cash equivalents) that have not been written off or disposed of, including portfolio investments acquired with borrowed funds. On March 29, 2016, the Investment Manager voluntarily reduced the Investment Management Fee to 1.25% per annum (effective as of the commencement of the Company’s operations). This resulted in the Investment Manager waiving $48,588 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and $15,597 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The Investment Manager has no ability to claw back any Investment Management Fees waived. On November 9, 2016, the Independent Directors amended the Investment Management Agreement reducing the Investment Management Fee from 1.75% to 1.25% per annum of the Company’s Invested Capital, as measured as of the close of business on the last business day of such quarterly period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the amended Investment Management Fee rate of 1.25% was in affect and as such, the amount of Investment Management Fees waived during the periods were charged as a result of reallocations (see Note 2).

The General Partner of the Partnership and Parallel Partnership also receives from the Partnership a share of any profits derived from the investments held by the Partnership and Parallel Partnership, including those of the Company.

8.	Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Investment Manager expects the risk of loss to be remote.

²The average outstanding borrowings has been calculated for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

1 Given the Company’s similarities to a non-registered close-ended fund, the Company calculated total return as the change in the Company's capital over the period ended, and adjusted for stockholder contributions and distributions during the period. The Company noted that the total return calculated under the typical method for a registered investment company resulted in a total return of 56.40% as of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (not annualized) and 95.62% as of the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (not annualized). The Company determined this did not appropriately represent the performance of the Company, and thus calculated the total return based on the change in value of a theoretical investment at the beginning of the period by geometrically linking the cash flows, which is a method more commonly used by non-registered funds.

2 The average outstanding borrowings has been calculated from the date of the first drawdown.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Siguler Guff Small Business Credit Opportunities Fund, Inc. (“SBCOF” or the “Fund”) is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company electing status as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Fund is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Siguler Guff Small Business Credit Opportunities Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”). The Partnership is the Fund’s sole direct shareholder and makes capital contributions to the Fund as needed for the Fund to make investments or pay its expenses, to the extent that the Partnership has available capital and in accordance with the Partnership’s governing documents. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns by generating current income from debt investments and capital appreciation from equity investments.

The Fund is a specialty finance investment company providing financing and advisory services to carefully selected companies in the lower middle market, which Siguler Guff Advisers (the “Investment Manager”) defines as privately-owned companies with between $2 to $15 million of earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and between $10 to $100 million of revenue. The Fund’s investments generally take the form of mezzanine debt, “unitranche” loans with a first lien on the company’s assets, as well as second lien loans. The Partnership generally seeks to purchase equity securities alongside the Fund’s investments into those same companies, generally with an aggregate cost of up to 20% of the value of the investment. The Partnership also may extend mezzanine financing in forms other than subordinated loans, such as convertible loans and preferred stock. The Fund commenced investment operations on October 13, 2015, and its portfolio as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 (excluding cash and cash equivalents) consisted of investments held in healthcare services, manufacturing, business equipment, business services, commercial retail, consumer and sporting goods, ~~industrial~~electronic equipment, ~~and~~general ~~components~~contracting, technical services, security and protection services, telecommunications, and processed and packaged goods.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Investment Manager has identified the most critical accounting estimates upon which the financial statements depend and determined the critical accounting estimates by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. The critical accounting policies relate to the valuation of investments, the recognition of income and expense, and income taxes.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the amount 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. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available or reliable, fair valuation techniques are applied. These techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments’ complexity.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs used in the fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the fair valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Under ASC 820, the Fund performs detailed valuations of its debt investments for which quotations are not readily available on an individual basis, using bond yield, market and income approaches as appropriate. In certain instances, the Fund may use alternative methodologies, including recent purchase transactions, asset liquidation, expected recovery model or other alternative approaches to estimate the fair value.

Table of Contents

In certain instances, the Fund may use alternative methodologies, including recent purchase transactions, asset liquidation, expected recovery model or other alternative approaches to estimate the fair value.

Investments where market quotations for securities of the same issue are readily available on an exchange are marked to market at fair value at the closing price on the financial statement date. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value.

Under the bond yield approach, the Fund uses bond yield models to determine the present value of the future cash flow streams of its debt investments. The Fund reviews various sources of transactional data, including private mergers and acquisitions involving debt investments with similar characteristics, and assesses the information in the valuation process.

Under the market approach, the Fund estimates the enterprise value of the portfolio companies in which it invests. There is no one methodology to estimate enterprise value and, in fact, for any one portfolio company, enterprise value is best expressed as a range of fair values, from which the Fund derives a single estimate of enterprise value. To estimate the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the Fund analyzes various factors, including the portfolio company’s historical and projected financial results. Typically, private companies are valued based on multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income or revenues. The Fund generally requires portfolio companies to provide annual audited and quarterly or monthly unaudited financial statements, as well as annual projections for the upcoming fiscal year.

Under the income approach, the Fund generally prepares and analyzes discounted cash flow models based on projections of the future free cash flows of the business.

The fair value of the Fund’s portfolio investments at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~2017 was determined in good faith by the Fund’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is ultimately and solely responsible for the valuation of the portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Fund’s valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.

The following table summarizes the level of the Fund’s assets measured at fair value as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~2017.

Critical factors in determining the fair value of investments include payment history, collateral position, financial strength of borrower, financial performance relative to covenants, likelihood of sale or acquisition of the borrower, and length of expected holding period of the loan, as well as the general interest rate environment. The actual value realized from investments may differ from management’s estimates and such differences could be material. In addition, such differences would impact the carrying value of investments presented in the financial statements, as well as, the Fund’s change in net assets resulting from operations.

Income and Expense

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. The Fund stops accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Fees received upon closing a transaction generally are treated as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment. Any resulting discount, or closing fee received, from recording the loan or otherwise purchasing a security at a discount, is accreted into interest income over the life of the loan using the effective-yield method.

The Fund has investments in debt securities which contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provisions. PIK interest is computed at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement and added to the principal balance of the investment and recorded as income. The Fund stops accruing PIK interest on investments when it is determined that PIK interest is no longer collectible.

Other income includes the estimated amount of the exit fee due in connection with the purchase of the NetFortris Operating Co., Inc. term notes. asThe ~~well~~reallocation asof aother ~~prepayment~~income ~~fee~~is ~~received~~due into ~~connection~~a ~~with~~portion of the ~~sale~~exit offee ~~the~~and ~~Rudy's~~corresponding ~~Food~~receivable ~~Products,~~being ~~Inc.~~distributed ~~senior~~to ~~subordinated~~the ~~notes~~Partnership.

The Fund records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ~~FASB~~ ASC 740, ~~Income Taxes (“ASC 740”)~~ on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than -not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Fund has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact to the financial statements of the Fund, and therefore, no provisions are required to be recorded by the Fund. The Fund does not anticipate significant increases to uncertain tax positions in the next twelve months. The Fund will recognize any interest and penalties, if applicable, for any uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recorded during the ~~periods~~period ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 ~~and~~or ~~September~~year 30ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017, or accrued for as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~2017.

For the period ended March 31, 2017, fund expenses consisted of investment management fees of $91,055, directors’ fees of $41,250, professional fees of $33,737 and other general and administrative expenses of $1,865. There was no income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 due to the Fund qualifying for RIC status as compared to $246,489 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The Fund’s investment management fee for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was computed and paid quarterly in arrears in an amount equal to 1.25% per annum of the Fund’s Invested Capital, as measured as of the close of business on the last business day of each quarterly period. On November 9, 2016, the Independent Directors of the Fund’s Board approved amendments to the Investment Management Agreement which included the reduction of the management fee from 1.75% to 1.25% of Invested Capital. Prior to the Independent Director approval of the management fee reduction, the Investment Manager elected to voluntarily waive all management fees greater than 1.25% per annum of the Fund’s invested capital, retroactive to the inception of the Fund. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Fund’s investment management fee amounted to $78,675, and for the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Fund’s investment management fee amounted to $91,055. “Invested Capital” means the cost basis of the Fund’s portfolio investments (excluding cash and cash equivalents) that have not been written off or disposed of, including portfolio investments acquired with borrowed funds.

~~Due~~Financial ~~to additional commitments received in 2017 by the Partnership and Parallel Partnership~~Condition, ~~portfolio investments and items of income and expense have been reallocated between the Fund~~Liquidity, ~~the Partnership~~ and ~~the~~Capital Parallel Partnership to reflect committed capital ownership percentages as of the final closing, which occurred on September 29, 2017. Prior to the final closing, portfolio investments and items of income and expense were allocated according to the committed capital ownership percentages as of the latest closing. Following the final closing, reallocation of portfolio investments and items of income and expense between the Fund, the Partnership and the Parallel Partnership has occurred. As a result, included in the 2017 Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2017 are reallocations of $77,704 (reallocations of investment income totaling $90,815 and reallocations of expenses totaling $13,111) which equal amounts previously included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, the Fund was wholly owned by the Partnership. The Partnership is expected, but not required, to make further contributions of capital to the Fund in an aggregate amount that will not exceed the Partnership’s limited partners’ capital commitments to the Partnership. As of March 31, 2018, the Partnership (excluding the Parallel Partnership) had received subscriptions for capital in the amount of $112,960,000, of which $44,619,200 had been called and of which $34,331,057 was contributed to the Fund. As of March 31, 2018, $68,340,800 of capital remained uncalled by the Partnership.

At March 31, 2018, the Fund had adequate resources consisting of cash on hand, a Money Market Fund and expected future capital contributions from the Partnership that could be used to fund future obligations. The Fund, based upon the investments held at March 31, 2018, expects to receive approximately $3,100,000 in scheduled interest payments over the next year. The future capital contributions and scheduled interest payments are sufficient to meet the requirements of anticipated investments and operational expenses of the Fund over the next year.

As of March 31, 2018, 24.6% of the Fund’s net assets consisted of cash and for the three months ended March 31, 2017, 0.4% of the Fund’s net assets consisted of cash. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, the Fund invested in senior subordinated and term notes. On February 16, 2018, the Fund made a cash distribution to the Partnership in the amount of $4,383,035 or $43.83 per share. Additionally, on March 28, 2018, the Fund distributed in-kind $8,210,308 or $82.10 per share of net assets ($17,520,464 of senior subordinated notes, $2,092,479 of term notes, and $25,140 of deferred financing costs and $11,427,775 of the investor note credit facility) to the Partnership. Since inception, the Fund has distributed $19,904,785 or $199.05 per share to the Partnership. The principal balance and fair value of loans in the Fund’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $26,351,172 and $25,962,304, and $34,877,049 and $34,384,355, respectively.

The portfolio investments represent 140% of net assets at September 30, 2017 and 129% of net assets at December 31, 2016 and their fair values have been determined in good faith by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Because of the inherent uncertainty of fair valuation, the determined values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and the differences could be material.

Contractual Obligations

The Fund has entered into certain contracts under which it has future commitments. Payments under the Investment Management Agreement, pursuant to which Siguler Guff Advisers has agreed to serve as the Fund’s investment adviser, are equal to a percentage of the invested capital of the Fund, including assets acquired with borrowed funds, if any. The Investment Management Agreement will continue in effect until June 8, 2018. Thereafter, regardless of the dissolution of the Fund, the Investment Management Agreement shall continue automatically for successive periods of a year each June, if not terminated. Either party may terminate the Investment Management Agreement without penalty on least 60 days’ written notice to the other party. The Fund has also entered into a Custodian Agreement, pursuant to which ~~Citibank~~Citi ~~N.A.~~Private Bank has agreed to serve as the Fund’s custodian (the “Custodian”). The Fund pays the Custodian such fees as have been agreed between the Fund and the Custodian, as described in the Custodian Agreement which the Fund has determined are commercially reasonable in its sole discretion.

On August 8, 2017 and amended on December 15, 2017, the Fund, Partnership, and Parallel Partnership, entered into a credit facility of short term borrowings (the “Credit Facility”) in the amount of $10,000,000 collateralized by the unfunded Committed Equity Capital of the Limited Partners of the Partnership and Parallel Partnership. On December 15, 2017, the Credit Facility was amended and increased to $40,000,000. The Credit Facility is intended to fund the operations of the Fund, Partnership, and Parallel Partnership, and is scheduled to expire on August 8, 2018, subject to extension. In consideration for establishing the Credit Facility, the Partnership and Parallel Partnership paid a Facility Fee in the amount of 0.25% times the maximum commitment amount. The Credit Facility is stated at its outstanding principal amount and bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.55%. In addition, an unused commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum times the difference between the total commitment amount and the average daily outstanding amount of principal is incurred as an expense. From the date of the first drawdown through March 31, 2018, the Credit Facility held an outstanding balance of $30,940,000, of which the Fund’s portion was $13,022,225 at a rate between 2.78% and 3.43%.

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the Fund does bear interest on its outstanding principal amount and is subject to certain fees and costs that could affect its liquidity and cash flows, however, as of September 30, 2017, the Fund had not incurred any financing obligations with respect to interest on borrowings, undrawn fees or unused commitment fees that would have an impact on liquidity or cash flows.

Taxation of the Fund as a RIC

Consequences of Converting From an Ordinary Corporation to a RIC. In order to qualify as a RIC, the Fund must, at the end of the first year in which it so qualifies, have no accumulated earnings and profits from years in which it was not taxed as a RIC. To meet this requirement, the Fund must, before the end of the first year in which it qualifies as a RIC, distribute as dividends all of its accumulated earnings and profits. In addition to the foregoing, pursuant to the Treasury regulations, the Fund must either (i) recognize gain on the disposition of any asset during the subsequent recognition period (generally 10 years) (the “Recognition Period”) beginning on the first day of the first taxable year for which the Fund qualifies for pass-through status as a RIC that is held by the Fund as of the beginning of such Recognition Period, to the extent of the excess of (a) the fair market value of such asset as of the beginning of such Recognition Period over (b) the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such asset as of the beginning of such Recognition Period (such excess, hereinafter, “built-in gain”), taxable at the highest regular corporate rates or (ii) elect to immediately recognize and pay tax on any such built-in gain with respect to any of its portfolio holdings and, as described above, distribute the earnings and profits from such deemed sales. As a RIC, the Fund generally would not be able to use any net operating loss carryforwards relating to periods prior to the first year in which the Fund qualifies as a RIC.

RIC Qualification Requirements. In order to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, the Fund must, among other things, (1) at all times during the taxable year, have a valid and effective election to be a BDC under Sections 6(f) and 54 of the 1940 Act; (2) derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including gains from options, futures and forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies, and net income derived from an interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership (as defined in Section 851(h) of the Code); (3) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of each taxable year: (a) at least 50% of the value of the Fund’s total assets is represented by (i) cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, and securities of other RICs, and (ii) other securities (counting each investment in such other securities only if the value of such securities does not exceed 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets and the Fund does not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer of such securities), and (b) not more than 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets is invested in (i) the securities (other than U.S. government securities and securities of other RICs) of any one issuer, (ii) the securities (other than securities of other RICs) of two or more issuers that the Fund controls (defined as 20% or more of the voting power) and that are engaged in the same, similar, or related trades or businesses, or (iii) the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships; and (4) file an election to be a RIC.

If the Fund qualifies as a RIC, the Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax (“Excise Tax”) to the extent it fails to distribute by the end of any calendar year at least 98% of its ordinary income for such calendar year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year, plus certain other undistributed amounts. For these purposes, any taxable income retained by the Fund, and on which it pays federal income tax, will be treated as having been distributed.

The Fund currently intends to distribute in each year for which it qualifies as a RIC substantially all of its net investment income and capital gain net income so as not to be subject to either federal income tax or Excise Tax.

Tax Status. The Fund must meet a number of requirements, described above under the caption “Taxation” to qualify for the pass-through status as a RIC and, if qualified, to continue to so qualify. If the Fund experiences difficulty in meeting the diversification requirement for any fiscal quarter of its taxable year, it may accelerate capital calls or, if available, borrowings in order to increase the portion of the Fund’s total assets represented by cash, cash items and U.S. government securities as of the close of the following fiscal quarter and thus attempt to meet the diversification requirement. The Fund, however, would incur additional interest and other expenses in connection with any such accelerated borrowings, and increased investments by the Fund in cash, cash items and U.S. government securities (whether the funds to make such investments are derived from called equity capital or from accelerated borrowings) are likely to reduce the Fund’s return. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Fund would be able to meet the diversification requirements through such actions. Failure to qualify as a RIC would deny the Fund pass-through status and, in a year in which the Fund has taxable income, would have a significant adverse effect on the returns of the Fund.

When the Fund elects to convert its status from that of an ordinary, or C, corporation to that of a RIC, it must choose either to (i) pay tax whenever an asset is sold during the subsequent “conversion period” (generally, ten years) following the conversion on the amount of gain which would have been realized had the asset been sold on the conversion date, or (ii) treat the entire amount of “built-in gain” as income at the time of conversion.

Effect of Certain Investments and Investment Practices. The Fund’s activities generally may be unlike the typical activities engaged in by most investment companies that seek to qualify as RICs for federal income tax purposes. Certain aspects of these activities may at times make it more difficult for the Fund to satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a RIC than is the case for other investment companies. For example, because the Fund generally will call capital from the Partnership on an “as needed” basis and will have relatively few investments in its early period of operations, the Fund will not be holding substantial amounts of “cash and cash items” that could be counted towards the Fund’s RIC diversification requirements.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Fund is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect both the cost of funding and our interest income from portfolio investments. The Fund’s risk management processes and procedures are designed to identify and analyze risk, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of administrative and information systems and other policies and programs. Our investment income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates, to the extent our debt investments include floating interest rates. In addition, our investments are carried at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Our valuation methodology utilizes discount rates in part in valuing our investments, and changes in those discount rates may have an impact on the valuation of our investments.

Table of Contents

The Fund’s business activities entail various elements of risk. The Fund considers the principal types of market risk to be interest rate risk, credit risk and valuation risk. Accordingly, the Fund’s risk management procedures are designed to identify and analyze the Fund’s risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these.

The Fund intends to manage its risk by maintaining a portfolio that is diverse by industry, size of investment, and borrowers. The Fund has limited exposure to public market price fluctuations as the Fund invests in the debt of private business enterprises. The equity investment accompanying most debt investments (which, if it becomes publicly-traded, is subject to enhanced market risk) is generally made by the Partnership.

The Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates is regularly monitored and analyzed by measuring the characteristics of assets and liabilities. The Fund uses various methods to assess interest rate risk in terms of the potential effect on interest income and investment valuation. The Fund’s valuation methodology utilizes discount rates as part of valuing its investments and changes in those discount rates, and interest rates in general, would be expected to have an impact on the valuation of investments. Assuming no changes in investment and capital structure, a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would decrease the Fund’s net assets resulting from operations by an estimated $1,145,000. As previously discussed in Item 2 Contractual Obligations, the Fund entered into a Credit Facility agreement on August 8, 2017, and as of September 30, 2017, held an outstanding balance of $4,600,000. Should the Fund elect to use additional leverage, its sensitivity to changes in interest rates and other risks would be substantially greater. The Fund intends to manage credit risk through diversification, and continually monitors the financial condition of its borrowers and reports thereon to the Fund’s Board of Directors.36

Table of Contents

As previously discussed in Item 2 of this 10-Q, the Fund, the Partnership, and Parallel Partnership entered into a Credit Facility agreement on August 8, 2017 and amended on December 15, 2017, and as of March 31, 2018, the Fund held an outstanding balance of $13,022,225. Because the Fund has elected to use leverage in the form of a Credit Facility, its sensitivity to changes in interest rates and other risks could be substantially greater. Assuming no changes in the Credit Facility structure, a hypothetical increase in discount rates of 100 basis points would decrease the Fund’s net assets resulting from operations by an estimated $72,000.

The Fund intends to manage credit risk through diversification, and continually monitors the financial condition of its borrowers and reports thereon to the Fund’s Board of Directors.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, Management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its President and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Fund in such reports was accumulated and communicated to the Fund’s management, including its President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2017~~2018, there were no changes in the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.
