Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
Note 1.
Organization
PhenixFIN
Corporation (“PhenixFIN.” the “Company,” “we” and “us”) is an internally-managed non-diversified
closed end management investment company incorporated in Delaware that has elected to be regulated as a business development company
(“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We completed our initial public
offering (“IPO”) and commenced operations on January 20, 2011. The Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually,
to be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). On November 18, 2020, the board of directors of the Company approved
the adoption of an internalized management structure, effective January 1, 2021. Until close of business on December 31, 2020 we were
externally managed and advised by MCC Advisors LLC (“MCC Advisors”), pursuant to an investment management agreement. MCC
Advisors is a wholly owned subsidiary of Medley LLC, which is controlled by Medley Management Inc. (OTCM: MDLM), a publicly traded asset
management firm, which in turn is controlled by Medley Group LLC, an entity wholly owned by the senior professionals
of Medley LLC. We use the term “Medley” to refer collectively to the activities and operations of Medley Capital LLC, Medley
LLC, MDLY, Medley Group LLC, MCC Advisors, associated investment funds and their respective affiliates. Since January 1, 2021 the Company
has been managed pursuant to an internalized management structure.
The
Company has formed and expects to continue to form certain taxable subsidiaries (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”), which are taxed
as corporations for federal income tax purposes. These Taxable Subsidiaries allow us to, among other things, hold equity securities of
portfolio companies organized as pass-through entities while continuing to satisfy the requirements of a RIC under the Code.
The
Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation. The management team seeks to achieve this
objective primarily through making loans, private equity or other investments in privately-held companies. The Company may also make
debt, equity or other investments in publicly-traded companies. (These investments may also include investments in other BDCs, closed-end
funds or REITs.) We may also pursue other strategic opportunities and invest in other assets or operate other businesses to achieve our
investment objective, such as operating and managing an asset-based lending business. The portfolio generally consists of senior secured
first lien term loans, senior secured second lien term loans, senior secured bonds, preferred equity and common equity. Occasionally,
we will receive warrants or other equity participation features which we believe will have the potential to increase total investment
returns. Our loan and other debt investments are primarily rated below investment grade or are unrated. Investments in below investment
grade securities are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal
when due.
Since January 4, 2021, the common stock trades
on the NASDAQ Global Market under the trading symbol “PFX.”

Note 2.
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
Company is an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification 946 (“ASC 946”), Financial Services – Investment Companies. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) and include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries PhenixFIN Small Business
Fund, LP (“PhenixFIN Small Business Fund”) and PhenixFIN SLF Funding I LLC (“PhenixFIN SLF”), and its wholly
owned Taxable Subsidiaries. All references made to the “Company,” “we,” and “us” herein include PhenixFIN
Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as stated otherwise. Additionally, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
of the Company and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-K and Article
10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments and reclassifications, which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial
results as of and for the periods presented. Therefore, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative
of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023.
Use
of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash,
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents
include deposits in a money market account. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions and, at times, such balances may
be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, we had $17.7
million and $22.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively, none of which is restricted.
Debt
Issuance Costs
Debt
issuance costs, incurred in connection with any credit facilities and unsecured notes (see Note 5) are deferred and amortized over the
life of the respective credit facility or instrument.
Indemnification
In
the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual agreements that provide general indemnifications against losses, costs,
claims and liabilities arising from the performance of individual obligations under such agreements. The Company has had no material
claims or payments pursuant to such agreements. The Company’s individual 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 management’s
experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Revenue
Recognition
Interest
income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income, which represents
dividends from equity investments and distributions from Taxable Subsidiaries, is recorded on the ex-dividend date and when the distribution
is received, respectively.
The
Company holds debt investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. PIK interest,
which represents contractually deferred interest added to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, is recorded on the
accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. PIK interest is not accrued if the Company does not expect the
issuer to be able to pay all principal and interest when due. For the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company earned
approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million in PIK interest, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
Note 2.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Origination/closing,
amendment and transaction break-up fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are recognized as income when we become entitled
to such fees. Prepayment penalties received by the Company for debt instruments paid back to the Company prior to the maturity date are
recorded as income upon repayment of debt. Administrative agent fees received by the Company are capitalized as deferred revenue and
recorded as fee income when the services are rendered. For the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, fee income was approximately
$0.1 million, and $0.3 million, respectively (see Note 9).
Investment
transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between
the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously
recognized. During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, $0.0 million and $(19.6) million of the Company’s realized
losses were related to certain non-cash restructuring transactions, which are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as
a component of net realized gain/(loss) from investments. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments as a component of
the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Management
reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal or interest or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest
will be collected for possible placement on management’s designation of non-accrual status. Interest receivable is analyzed regularly
and may be reserved against when deemed not collectible. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income
or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual
status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current, although we may
make exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. At December 31,
2022, certain investments in 5 portfolio companies held by the Company were on non-accrual status with a combined fair value of approximately
$5.4 million, or 2.9% of the fair value of our portfolio. At September 30, 2022, certain investments in five portfolio companies held
by the Company were on non-accrual status with a combined fair value of approximately $5.2 million, or 2.7% of the fair value of our
portfolio.
Investment
Classification
The
Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we would be deemed to “control”
a portfolio company if we owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities and/or had the power to exercise control over the
management or policies of such portfolio company. We refer to such investments in portfolio companies that we “control” as
“Control Investments.” Under the 1940 Act, we would be deemed to be an “Affiliated Person” of a portfolio company
if we own between 5% and 25% of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities or we are under common control with such
portfolio company. We refer to such investments in Affiliated Persons as “Affiliated Investments.”
Valuation
of Investments
The
Company applies fair value accounting to all of its financial instruments in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value
and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its financial instruments
carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as discussed in Note
4. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument
rather than an entity specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions
are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement
date.
Investments
for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent
pricing service or multiple broker-dealers or market makers. We weight the use of third-party broker quotations, if any, in determining
fair value based on our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote
was an indicative price or binding offer. However, debt investments with remaining maturities within 60 days that are not credit impaired
are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations
are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by our Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s Valuation Designee,
based upon input from management and third-party valuation firms. Because these investments are illiquid and because there may not be
any directly comparable companies whose financial instruments have observable market values, these loans are valued using a fundamental
valuation methodology, consistent with traditional asset pricing standards, that is objective and consistently applied across all loans
and through time.
Investments
in investment funds are valued at fair value. Fair values are generally determined utilizing the NAV supplied by, or on behalf of, management
of each investment fund, which is net of management and incentive fees or allocations charged by the investment fund and is in accordance
with the “practical expedient”, as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-12, Investments
in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share. NAVs received by, or on behalf of, management of each investment fund
are based on the fair value of the investment funds’ underlying investments in accordance with policies established by management
of each investment fund, as described in each of their financial statements and offering memorandum. If the Company is in the process
of the sale of an investment fund, fair value will be determined by actual or estimated sale proceeds.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The
methodologies utilized by the Company in estimating the fair value of its investments categorized as Level 3 generally fall into the
following two categories:
|
● |
The “Market Approach”
uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (that is, similar)
assets, liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business. |
|
● |
The “Income Approach”
converts future amounts (for example, cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (that is, discounted) amount. When the
Income Approach is used, the fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about those future amounts. |
The
Company has engaged third-party valuation firms (the “Valuation Firms”) to assist it and its Valuation Designee (the Chief
Financial Officer) in the valuation of its portfolio investments. The valuation reports generated by the Valuation Firms consider the
evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market-based information, including comparable
transactions, performance multiples, and movement in yields of debt instruments, among other factors. The Company uses a market yield
analysis under the Income Approach or an enterprise model of valuation under the Market Approach, or a combination thereof. In applying
the market yield analysis, the value of the Company’s loans is determined based upon inputs such as the coupon rate, current market
yield, interest rate spreads of similar securities, the stated value of the loan, and the length to maturity. In applying the enterprise
model, the Company uses a waterfall analysis, which takes into account the specific capital structure of the borrower and the related
seniority of the instruments within the borrower’s capital structure into consideration. To estimate the enterprise value of the
portfolio company, we weigh some or all of the traditional market valuation methods and factors based on the individual circumstances
of the portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value.
The
methodologies and information that the Company utilizes when applying the Market Approach for performing investments include, among other
things:
|
● |
valuations of comparable
public companies (“Guideline Comparable Approach”); |
|
● |
recent sales of private
and public comparable companies (“Guideline Comparable Approach”); |
|
● |
recent acquisition prices
of the company, debt securities or equity securities (“Recent Arms-Length Transaction”); |
|
● |
external valuations of
the portfolio company, offers from third parties to buy the company (“Estimated Sales Proceeds Approach”); |
|
● |
subsequent sales made by
the company of its investments (“Expected Sales Proceeds Approach”); and |
|
● |
estimating the value to
potential buyers. |
The
methodologies and information that the Company utilizes when applying the Income Approach for performing investments include:
|
● |
discounting the forecasted
cash flows of the portfolio company or securities (Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) Approach); and |
|
● |
Black-Scholes model or
simulation models or a combination thereof (Income Approach - Option Model) with respect to the valuation of warrants. |
For
non-performing investments, we may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets and liabilities
using an expected recovery model (Market Approach - Expected Recovery Analysis or Estimated Liquidation Proceeds).
We
undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter when valuing investments for which market quotations are not readily available,
as described below:
|
● |
our quarterly valuation
process generally begins with each portfolio investment being internally valued by a Valuation Firm; |
|
● |
Available third-party market
data will be reviewed by company personnel designated by the Valuation Designee (“Fair Value Personnel”) and the Valuation
Firm. |
|
● |
Available portfolio company
data and general industry data are then reviewed by the Fair Value Personnel. |
|
● |
Preliminary valuation conclusions
are then documented and discussed with the Fair Value Personnel. |
|
● |
The Valuation Designee
then determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on such discussions, the Company’s
Valuation Policy and the Valuation Firms’ final estimated valuations. |

Note
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Due
to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair
value of our investments may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments,
and the differences could be material. In addition, changes in the market environment (including the impact of COVID-19 on financial
markets), portfolio company performance, and other events may occur over the lives of the investments that may cause the gains or losses
ultimately realized on these investments to be materially different than the valuations currently assigned.
Fair Value
of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses,
approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts and fair values of our long-term obligations are discussed
in Note 5.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference
rate reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The amendments in this
update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to certain contracts and hedging relationships that reference
LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform and became effective upon issuance for all entities.
The Company has agreements that have LIBOR as a reference rate with certain portfolio companies and also with certain lenders. Many of
these agreements include language for choosing an alternative successor rate if LIBOR reference is no longer considered to be appropriate.
Contract modifications are required to be evaluated in determining whether the modifications result in the establishment of new contracts
or the continuation of existing contracts. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848),”
which expanded the scope of Topic 848. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective through December 31, 2022 when the Company plans to
apply the amendments in this update to account for contract modifications due to changes in reference rates. On Dec. 21, 2022, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new Accounting Standards Update ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral
of the Sunset Date of Topic 848,” that extends the sunset (or expiration) date of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic
848 to Dec. 31, 2024. This gives reporting entities two additional years to apply the accounting relief provided under ASC Topic 848
for matters related to reference rate reform. The ASU is effective immediately. The Company has adopted ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 and
there is no material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Federal
Income Taxes
The
Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to continue to
qualify as a RIC and be eligible for tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code, among other things, the Company is required to meet
certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of the sum of
investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), as defined by the Code, including PIK interest, and net tax exempt interest income
(which is the excess of gross tax exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions) for each taxable year. Depending on the
level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year dividend distributions into
the next tax year. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior
to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.
The
Company is subject to a nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax of 4% on undistributed income if it does not distribute at least 98% of
its ordinary income in any calendar year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each one-year period ending on October 31 of such
calendar year and any income realized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which it did not pay federal income tax. To the
extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year
dividend distributions for excise tax purposes, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable
income is earned. There was no provision for federal excise tax at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The
Company’s Taxable Subsidiaries accrue income taxes payable based on the applicable corporate rates on the unrealized gains generated
by the investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, the Company did not record a deferred
tax liability on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in provision for deferred taxes is included as a component
of net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended December
31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record a change in provision for deferred taxes on the unrealized (appreciation)/depreciation
on investments.
As
of December 31, 2022 and September 30 2022, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $26.3 million and $26.2 million, respectively,
consisting primarily of net operating losses and net unrealized losses on the investments held within its Taxable Subsidiaries. As
of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, the Company has booked a valuation allowance of $26.3 million and $26.2 million,
respectively, against its deferred tax asset.

Note 2.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
ICTI
generally differs from net investment income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition
of income and expenses. The Company may be required to recognize ICTI in certain circumstances in which it does not receive cash. For
example, if the Company holds debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount, the Company
must include in ICTI each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether
cash representing such income is received by the Company in the same taxable year. The Company may also have to include in ICTI other
amounts that it has not yet received in cash, such as 1) PIK interest income and 2) interest income from investments that have been classified
as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting
purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in the Company’s
ICTI for the year of accrual, the Company may be required to make a distribution to its stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum
distribution requirements, even though the Company will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. ICTI
also excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they
are realized.
The
Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidelines
for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC 740 requires the
evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether
the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to
meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company
recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations. There were no material uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2022. Although we file federal and state tax
returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal. The Company’s federal and state tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain
open, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state tax authorities.
Segments
The
Company invests in various industries. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its investment relationships. However,
because each of these investment relationships has similar business and economic characteristics, they have been aggregated into a single
investment segment. All applicable segment disclosures are included in or can be derived from the Company’s financial statements.
See Note 3 for further information.
Company
Investment Risk, Concentration of Credit Risk, and Liquidity Risk
The
Company has broad discretion in making investments. Investments generally consist of debt instruments that may be affected by business,
financial market or legal uncertainties. Prices of investments may be volatile, and a variety of factors that are inherently difficult
to predict, such as domestic or international economic and political developments, may significantly affect the results of the Company’s
activities and the value of its investments. In addition, the value of the Company’s portfolio may fluctuate as the general level
of interest rates fluctuate.
The
value of the Company’s investments in loans may be detrimentally affected to the extent, among other things, that a borrower defaults
on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted
loan, observable secondary or primary market yields for similar instruments issued by comparable companies increase materially or risk
premiums required in the market between smaller companies, such as our borrowers, and those for which market yields are observable increase
materially.
The
Company’s assets may, at any time, include securities and other financial instruments or obligations that are illiquid or thinly
traded, making purchase or sale of such securities and financial instruments at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult. Furthermore,
the sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely difficult to value any such investments
accurately.
Company
performance (including that of certain of its portfolio companies) has been and may continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19
pandemic’s effects. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted economies and capital markets around the world in ways that may
continue and may change in unforeseen ways for an indeterminate period. The pandemic has also adversely affected various businesses,
including some in which we are invested. The COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate pre-existing business performance, political, social and
economic risks affecting certain companies and countries generally. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of
COVID-19 have adversely affected the performance of the Company (including certain portfolio companies) and may continue to do so in
the future. Further, the potential exists for additional variants of COVID-19 to impede the global economic recovery and exacerbate geographic
differences in the spread of, and response to, COVID-19.

4. Fair Value Measurements
The
Company follows ASC 820 for measuring the fair value of portfolio investments. Fair value is the price that would be received in the
sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 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, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation
and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity.
The Company’s fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Financial investments recorded
at fair value in the consolidated financial statements are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated
with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation
of the investment as of the measurement date. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from this
hierarchy, and certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The three levels are
defined below:
|
● |
Level 1 - Valuations based
on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. |
|
● |
Level 2 - Valuations based
on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable at the
measurement date. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets including actionable bids from third parties for privately held assets or
liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves and forward currency rates that are entered directly
into valuation models to determine the value of derivatives or other assets or liabilities. |
|
● |
Level 3 - Valuations based
on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination
of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and are based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in
private companies or assets valued using the Market or Income Approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant
judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs
in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, beta and EBITDA multiples. The information
may also include pricing information or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price
in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification
as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence. |
In
addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ a valuation policy approved by the board
of directors that is consistent with ASC 820 (see Note 2). Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including
any markets in which our investments are trading, in determining fair value.

(1) | FlexFIN,
LLC was reclassed as an Equity from Secured Debt during the quarter ended December 31, 2021. |
Net change in unrealized gain (loss) for the three
months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 included in earnings related to investments still held as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately
$2.3 million and $(10.3) million, respectively.
Purchases
and other adjustments to cost include purchases of new investments at cost, effects of refinancing/restructuring, accretion/amortization
of income from discount/premium on debt securities, and PIK.
Sales
represent net proceeds received from investments sold.
A
review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation
inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the Level 3 category as of the beginning of the quarter in which the
reclassifications occur. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, no investments were transferred out of
Level 3 and one investment was transferred into Level 3. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, one of our investments
transferred out of Level 3 and no investments transferred into Level 3.

The
significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and derivative investments are market
yields. Increases in market yields would result in lower fair value measurements.
The
significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity/warrants investments are comparable
company multiples of revenue or EBITDA for the latest twelve months (“LTM”), next twelve months (“NTM”) or a
reasonable period a market participant would consider. Increases in EBITDA multiples in isolation would result in higher fair value measurement.
In
September 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Global Accessories Group, LLC (“Global Accessories”), in which
the Company exchanged its full position in Lydell Jewelry Design Studio, LLC for a 3.8% membership interest in Global Accessories, which
is included in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. As part of the agreement, the Company is entitled to contingent consideration
in the form of cash payments (“Earnout”), as well as up to an additional 5% membership interest (“AMI”), provided
Global Accessories achieves certain financial benchmarks through calendar year ended 2022. The Earnout and AMI were initially recorded
with an aggregate fair value of $2.4 million on the transaction date using the Income Approach and were included on the Consolidated
Statements of Assets and Liabilities in other assets. The contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date
until the contingency is resolved. Any changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30,
2022, the Company deemed the contingent consideration to be uncollectible.

5. Borrowings
As
a BDC, we are generally only allowed to employ leverage to the extent that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at
least 200% after giving effect to such leverage. The amount of leverage that we employ at any time depends on our assessment of the market
and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.
However,
in March 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act modified the 1940 Act by allowing a BDC to increase the maximum amount of leverage
it may incur from 200% to 150%, if certain requirements under the 1940 Act are met. Under the 1940 Act, we are allowed to increase our
leverage capacity if stockholders representing at least a majority of the votes cast, when a quorum is present, approve a proposal to
do so. If we receive stockholder approval, we would be allowed to increase our leverage capacity on the first day after such approval.
Alternatively, the 1940 Act allows the majority of our independent directors to approve an increase in our leverage capacity, and such
approval would become effective after the one-year anniversary of such approval. In either case, we would be required to make certain
disclosures on our website and in SEC filings regarding, among other things, the receipt of approval to increase our leverage, our leverage
capacity and usage, and risks related to leverage.
As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022,
the Company’s asset coverage was 259.7% and 255.0%, respectively, after giving effect to leverage and therefore the Company’s
asset coverage was greater than 200%, the minimum asset coverage requirement applicable presently to the Company under the 1940 Act.

Company’s outstanding debt excluding debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was as follows (dollars

Credit
Facility
On
December 15, 2022, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries executed a three-year, $50 million revolving credit facility (the
“Credit Facility”) with WoodForest Bank, N.A. (“WoodForest”), Valley National Bank, and Axiom Bank,
(collectively, the “Lenders”). WoodForest is the administrative agent, sole bookrunner and sole lead arranger. As of
December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings by the Company under the Credit Facility.
Outstanding
loans under the Credit Facility will bear a monthly interest rate at Term SOFR + 2.90%. The Company is also subject to a commitment fee
of 0.25%, which shall accrue on the actual daily amount of the undrawn portion of the revolving credit. The Credit Facility contains
customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Facility contains customary events of default
for credit facilities of this type, including (without limitation): nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts after a
stated grace period; inaccuracy of material representations and warranties; change of control; violations of covenants, subject in certain
cases to stated cure periods; and certain bankruptcies and liquidations. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Company
may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Value of Debt Obligations
The
fair values of our debt obligations are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would
be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.
The fair value of the Notes, which are publicly traded, is based upon closing market quotes as of the measurement date. As of December
31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, the Notes would be deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, as defined in Note 4.

Agreement
In connection with the adoption by the board of

and an Administration Servicing Agreement on customary terms with U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC d/b/a U.S. Bank Global Fund Services
(“U.S. Bancorp”). A U.S. Bancorp affiliate also served as the Company’s custodian. The Company’s administrative
and custodial relationship with U.S. Bancorp terminated on August 9, 2022. SS&C Technologies, Inc. (“SS&C”) has since
served as administrator of the Company and has provided the Company with fund accounting and financial reporting services pursuant to
the services agreement with the Company. Effective September 12, 2022, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”)

ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred approximately $0.1 million, and $68,866 in administrator expenses, respectively.
As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022,
approximately $0.1 million for each respective period was included in “administrator expenses payable” in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
2022
Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan
On
May 9, 2022, the board of directors of the Company adopted the PhenixFIN 2022 Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (the “CIP”) pursuant
to the recommendation by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. The CIP provides for performance-based cash awards to
key employees of the Company, as approved by the Compensation Committee, based on the achievement of pre-established financial goals
for the approved performance period. The performance goals may be expressed as one or a combination of net asset value of the Company,
net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock, changes in the market price of shares of the Company’s common stock,
individual performance metrics and/or such other goals and objectives the Committee considers relevant in connection with accomplishing
the purposes of the CIP.
In
connection with the approval of the CIP, the Compensation Committee in April 2022, approved awards for the three year performance period
commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2024. Each participant is eligible to receive an amount of cash equal to 0%-200%
of the target award set forth in the table below (“Target Performance Award”), based on the achievement of net asset value
(“NAV”) and NAV per share goals (weighted at 30% and 70%, respectively) as of the end of the performance period (the “Performance
Goals”). Performance is evaluated separately for each Performance Goal. No payment is made with respect to a Performance Goal if
a threshold level of performance is not achieved. Each Performance Goal is subject to (i) a threshold level of performance at which a
percentage of the Target Performance Award attributable to that Performance Goal may be paid and below which no payment is made pursuant
to an Award, (ii) a target level of performance at which 100% of the Target Performance Award attributable to that Performance Goal may
be paid and (iii) a maximum level of performance, at which 200% of the Target Performance Award attributable to that Performance Goal
may be paid, in each case subject to such other terms and conditions of an Award. Between threshold, target and maximum performance levels
for each Performance Goal, the portion of that Award attributed to the Performance Goal shall be interpolated in a linear progression.
During the three months ended December 31, 2022, no accrual was recorded for these awards.

13. Dividends
Dividends
and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined
by our board of directors.
We
have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a cash dividend
or other distribution, each stockholder that has not “opted out” of our dividend reinvestment plan will have its dividends
automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock rather than receiving cash dividends. Stockholders who receive distributions
in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash
distributions.
The
Company did not make any distribution payments during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
