(a) “Senior Loans” are senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade and investments with similar characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien priority and pay interest at rates that are determined periodically on the basis of a floating base lending rate plus a spread. Unless otherwise identified, all Senior Loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks and the certificate of deposit rate used by commercial lenders. The rates shown represent the weighted average rate at March 31, 2016. Senior Loans are generally not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and often contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.
(b) The interest rate on this Senior Loan is subject to a base rate plus 1 month or 3 month LIBOR, which at March 31, 2016 was 0.44% and 0.63%, respectively. As the interest rate is subject to a minimum LIBOR floor which was greater than the 1 month or 3 month LIBOR rate at March 31, 2016, the prevailing rate in effect at March 31, 2016 was the base rate plus the LIBOR floor, except as otherwise indicated.
(c) Foreign issuer traded in U.S. dollars.
(d) Fair Value Level 3 security. All remaining securities are categorized as Level 2.
(e) Fixed rate asset.
(f) All or a portion of this Senior Loan position has not settled. Full contract rates do not take effect until settlement date, therefore, are subject to change.
(g) The issuer may elect to pay interest in cash or in kind.
(h) Represents a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) security which may pay interest in additional principal amount.
(i) The issuer is in default of its payment obligation as of March 28, 2016, as such, income is no longer being accrued. Subsequent to quarter end, the issuer sent notification of restructuring effective April 13, 2016 and is no longer in default.
(j) The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of May 5, 2015, as such, income is no longer being accrued. The issuer paid a cash dividend to all shareholders on record as of January 6, 2016 which was recorded as a cost basis adjustment.
(k) Securities exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. These securities may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration to qualified institutional buyers. At March 31, 2016, these securities amounted to $13,524,230, or 5.1% of net assets.
(l) Non-income producing asset.
(m) The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $421,448,146. Cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes differs from book basis primarily due to the deferral of losses from wash sales and defaulted security interest adjustments. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments were as follows:

 

    

Gross unrealized appreciation

     $        2,282,469      

Gross unrealized depreciation

              (23,331,828)     

Net unrealized depreciation

       $     (21,049,359)     

 

(n) The Fund has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the credit facility.
(o) Principal $149,269,000 less unamortized deferred financing costs of $12,614.

Security Valuation

Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) values its investments primarily using the mean of the bid and ask prices provided by a nationally recognized security pricing service or broker. Senior Loans, corporate notes and bonds, common stock, preferred stock and warrants are priced based on valuations provided by an approved independent pricing service or broker, if available. If market or broker quotations are not available, or a price is not available from an independent pricing service or broker, or if the price provided by the independent pricing service or broker is believed to be unreliable, the security will be fair valued pursuant to procedures adopted by the Fund’s board of directors (the “Board”). In general, the fair value of a security is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the reporting date. Fair value procedures generally take into account any factors deemed relevant, which may include, among others, (i) the nature and pricing history of the security, (ii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the particular security, (iii) recent purchases or sales transactions for the particular security or similar securities and (iv) press releases and other information published about the issuer. In these cases, the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) will reflect the affected portfolio securities’ fair value as determined in the judgment of the Board or its designee instead of being determined by the market. Using a fair value pricing methodology to value securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent sale price and from the prices used by other investment companies to calculate their NAV. Determination of fair value is uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s valuation of a security will not differ from the amount that it realizes upon the sale of such security.

Fair Value Measurements

The Fund has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. The levels of fair value inputs used to measure the Fund’s investments are characterized into a fair value hierarchy. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1  —  Quoted unadjusted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets to which the Fund has access at the date of measurement;

Level 2  —  Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, but are valued based on executed trades, broker quotations that constitute an executable price, and alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which, in each case, are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset in connection with market data at the measurement date; and

Level 3  —  Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In certain cases, investments classified within Level 3 may include securities for which the Fund has obtained indicative quotes from broker-dealers that do not necessarily represent prices the broker may be willing to trade on, as such quotes can be subject to material management judgment. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

At the end of each reporting period, management evaluates the Level 2 and Level 3 assets, if any, for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from independent pricing services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market.

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value at March 31, 2016 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Transfers into and out of the levels are recognized at the value at the end of the period. A summary of the Fund’s investments categorized in the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2016 is as follows:

(a)  The Fund utilized a market comparable approach to fair value this security. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation model were total enterprise value and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) based on comparable multiples for a similar investment with similar risks. Significant increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

 

(b) The Fund utilized a recoverability approach to fair value this security, specifically a liquidation analysis. There are various, company specific inputs used in the valuation analysis that relate to the liquidation value of the company’s assets, which were estimated by a third party financial advisor as part of restructuring proceedings. The estimated fair value of the recoverable assets after deducting expenses was approximately 10.42% of the book value of the assets.

 

(c) The Fund utilized a discounted cash flow model to fair value this security. The significant unobservable input used in the valuation model was the discount rate, which was determined based on the market rates an investor would expect for a similar investment with similar risks. The discount rate was applied to present value the projected cash flows in the valuation model. Significant increases in the discount rate may significantly lower the fair value of an investment; conversely, significant decreases in the discount rate may significantly increase the fair value of an investment.
