(2) The investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”), which resets monthly, quarterly or semiannually, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “SF”), the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR” or “C”), Canada Prime Rate (“CP”), or the U.S. Prime Rate (“Prime” or “P”). The one, three and six-month USD LIBOR were 0.10%, 0.21% and 0.34%, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. The SOFR, CDOR, Canadian Prime and Prime were 0.05%, 0.52%, 2.45% and 3.25%, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. (3) The interest rate is the “all-in-rate” including the current index and spread, the fixed rate, and the payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest rate, as the case may be. (4) The investment or a portion of the investment does not provide collateral for the Company’s credit facility. (5) Not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of total assets. Qualifying assets represented 88.2% of total assets as of the date of the consolidated schedule of investments. (6) Investment is a non-controlled/affiliate investment as defined by the 1940 Act. (7) The investment has an unfunded commitment in addition to any amounts presented in the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2021. See Note 8. (8) The investment is on non-accrual status. (9) Security is perpetual with no defined maturity date. (10) Except as otherwise noted, all of the Company’s portfolio company investments, which as of the date of the consolidated schedule of investments represented 234.2% of the Company’s net assets or 96.3% of the Company’s total assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales. (11) The fair value of each investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs. See Note 5. (12) The investment was comprised of two contracts, which were indexed to different base rates, L and P, respectively. The Floor, Spread Above Index and Interest Rate presented represent the weighted average of both contracts. (13) Principal amount is non-USD denominated and is based in Canadian dollars. (14) Investment is a controlled affiliate investment as defined by the 1940 Act. On January 14, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement (as described in Note 4 hereto) with State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio, a public pension fund established under Ohio law (“STRS Ohio”), to create WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund, LLC (“STRS JV”), a joint venture, which invests primarily in senior secured first and second lien term loans. See notes to the consolidated financial statements 22 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc.

(16) In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest in the amount of 3.50% on its “last out” tranche of the portfolio company’s senior term debt, which was previously syndicated into “first out” and “last out” tranches, whereby the “first out” tranche will have priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder.

(18) On October 1, 2020, as part of a restructuring agreement between the Company and Arcole Acquisition Corp, the Company’s investments in first lien secured term loans to Arcole Acquisition Corp were converted into common shares of Arcole Holding Corp. (19) At the option of the issuer, interest can be paid in cash or cash and PIK. The issuer may elect to pay up to 2.00% PIK.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) ​ NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. (“WhiteHorse Finance” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes, WhiteHorse Finance elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). WhiteHorse Finance’s common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “WHF.” The Company’s investment objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns primarily by originating and investing in senior secured loans, including first lien and second lien facilities, to performing lower middle market companies across a broad range of industries that typically carry a floating interest index rate such as LIBOR or SOFR and have a term of three to six years. While the Company focuses principally on originating senior secured loans to lower middle market companies, it may also opportunistically make investments at other levels of a company’s capital structure, including mezzanine loans or equity interests and may receive warrants to purchase common stock in connection with its debt investments. WhiteHorse Finance’s investment activities are managed by H.I.G. WhiteHorse Advisers, LLC (“WhiteHorse Advisers” or the “Investment Adviser”). H.I.G. WhiteHorse Administration, LLC (“WhiteHorse Administration” or the “Administrator”) provides administrative services necessary for the Company to operate. Engaging in commodity interest transactions such as swap transactions or futures contracts for the Company may cause WhiteHorse Advisers to fall within the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act (the “CEA”) and related regulations promulgated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”). On January 23, 2020, WhiteHorse Advisers claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the CEA and the CFTC regulations in connection with its management of the Company (the “Exclusion”) and, therefore, WhiteHorse Advisers is not subject to CFTC registration or regulation under the CEA as a commodity pool operator with respect to its management of the Company. WhiteHorse Advisers has affirmed the Exclusion on February 17, 2022 and intends to continue to affirm the Exclusion on an annual basis. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation : The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of WhiteHorse Finance and its wholly owned subsidiaries, WhiteHorse Finance Credit I, LLC (“WhiteHorse Credit”), and its subsidiary WhiteHorse Finance (CA), LLC (“WhiteHorse California”), WHF PMA Holdco Blocker, LLC, WhiteHorse RCKC Holdings, LLC and WhiteHorse Finance Holdings, LLC. The Company meets the definition of an investment company under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies , and therefore applies the accounting and reporting guidance discussed therein to its consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Additionally, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-K and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. Principles of Consolidation : Under the investment company rules and regulations pursuant to ASC Topic 946, WhiteHorse Finance is precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company. As provided under ASC Topic 946, WhiteHorse Finance generally consolidates any investment company when it owns 100% of its partners’ or members’ capital or equity units. The Company does not consolidate its investment in STRS JV. See further description in Note 4. 24 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Use of Estimates : The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments : The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC Topic 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. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument. 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 are measured at fair value as determined in good faith by the Investment Adviser’s investment committee (the “Investment Committee”), generally on a quarterly basis, and such valuations are reviewed by the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors and ultimately approved by the Company’s board of directors, based on, among other factors, consistently applied valuation procedures on each measurement date. Any changes to the valuation methodology are reviewed by management and the Company’s board of directors to confirm that the changes are justified. The Company continues to review and refine its valuation procedures in response to market changes. The Company engages independent external valuation firms to periodically review material investments. These external reviews are used by the Company’s board of directors to review the Company’s internal valuation of each investment over the year. Investment Transactions : The Company records investment transactions on a trade date basis. These transactions may settle subsequent to the trade date depending on the transaction type. Certain expenses related to legal and tax consultation, due diligence, rating fees, valuation expenses and independent collateral appraisals may arise when the Company makes certain investments. These expenses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as they are incurred. Foreign currency translation : The Company’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (1) cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, fair value of investments, interest receivable, and other assets and liabilities — at the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and (2) purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses — at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Although net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Fluctuations arising from the translation of assets other than investments and liabilities are included with the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies on the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities. 25 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Revenue Recognition : The Company’s revenue recognition policies are as follows: Sales : Realized gains or losses on the sales of investments are calculated by using the specific identification method. Investment Income : Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. The Company may also receive closing, commitment, prepayment, amendment and other fees from portfolio companies in the ordinary course of business. Dividend income is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Closing fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are deferred and recognized as interest income over the respective terms of the applicable loans. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized loan closing fees are recorded as part of interest income. Commitment fees are based upon the undrawn portion committed by the Company and are recorded as interest income on an accrual basis. Prepayment, amendment and other fees are recognized when earned, generally when such fees are receivable, and are included in fee income on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company may invest in loans that contain a PIK interest rate provision. PIK interest is accrued at the contractual rates and added to loan principal on the reset dates to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. Non-accrual loans : Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. The Company may conclude that non-accrual status is not required if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. 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. Cash and Cash Equivalents : Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits with financial institutions, and short-term liquid investments in money market funds with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents : Restricted cash and cash equivalents include amounts that are collected and held by the trustee appointed as custodian of the assets securing the Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6). Restricted cash is held by the trustee for the payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings or reinvestment into new assets. Restricted cash that represents interest or fee income is transferred to unrestricted cash accounts by the trustee generally once a quarter after the payment of operating expenses and amounts due under the Credit Facility. Offering Costs : The Company may incur legal, accounting, regulatory, investment banking and other costs in relation to equity offerings. Offering costs are deferred and charged against paid-in capital in excess of par on completion of the related offering. Deferred Financing Costs : Deferred financing costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These amounts are amortized and are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the estimated life of the borrowings. Deferred financing costs are presented in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. Income Taxes : The Company elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to maintain its status as a RIC, among other requirements, the Company is required to distribute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to its stockholders each taxable year generally of an amount at least equal to 90% of the sum of ordinary 26 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. In addition, the Company will incur a nondeductible excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which (1) 98% of ordinary income for the calendar year (taking into account certain deferrals and elections), (2) 98.2% of capital gains in excess of capital losses, adjusted for certain ordinary losses, for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (3) any ordinary income and capital gain income for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which the Company incurred no U.S. federal income tax exceed distributions for the year. The Company accrues estimated excise tax on the amount, if any, that estimated taxable income is expected to exceed the level of stockholder distributions described above. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more-likely-than-not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statement is the largest benefit or expense that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. Any tax positions not deemed to satisfy the more likely than not threshold are reversed and recorded as tax benefit or tax expense, as appropriate, in the current year. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions, and the Company has concluded that the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits or unrecognized tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Penalties or interest that may be assessed related to any income taxes would be classified as general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by federal, state and local taxing authorities. Because many types of transactions are susceptible to varying interpretations under U.S. federal and state income tax laws and regulations, the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements may be subject to change at a later date by the respective taxing authorities. Tax returns for each of the federal tax years since 2018 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $769,156 and $835,502 resulting in net unrealized depreciation of $2,677 and $16,293, respectively. This is comprised of gross unrealized appreciation of $14,919 and $10,770 and gross unrealized depreciation of $17,596 and $27,062, on a tax basis, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Dividends and Distributions : Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Quarterly distribution payments are determined by the Company’s board of directors and are paid from taxable earnings estimated by management and may include a return of capital and/or capital gains. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment. The Company maintains an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) for common stockholders. As a result, if the Company declares a distribution or other dividend, stockholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, unless they specifically “opt out” of the DRIP so as to receive cash distributions. Earnings per Share : The Company calculates earnings per share as earnings available to stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Risks and Uncertainties : In the normal course of business, the Company encounters primarily two significant types of economic risks: credit and market. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company’s investments that result from an issuer’s, borrower’s or derivative counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of investments due to changes in interest rates, spreads or other market factors, including the value of the collateral underlying investments held by the Company. Refer to “COVID-19 Developments” section in Note 8. Management believes that the carrying value of the Company’s investments are fairly stated, taking into consideration these risks along with estimated collateral values, payment histories and other market information. 27 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Reclassifications : Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported. Recent Accounting Pronouncements : In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions . This ASU clarifies the guidance in ASC 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to a contractual sale restriction. The guidance also requires specific disclosures related to equity securities that are subject to contractual sale restrictions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within that fiscal year with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2022-03 on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-04 on its consolidated financial statements. NOTE 3 - FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies and to economically hedge the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. These contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract forward exchange rate and the forward market exchange rate on the last day of the period presented as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized when forward contracts are settled. Risks arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by only dealing with well-known counterparties. The Company utilizes forward foreign currency exchange contracts to protect itself against fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company may choose to renew contracts quarterly unless otherwise settled by the Company or the counterparty. The following table provides a breakdown of our forward currency contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the three months ended ​ For the three months ended ​ For the six months ended ​ For the six months ended ​ ​ June 30, 2022 ​ June 30, 2021 ​ June 30, 2022 ​ June 30, 2021 Realized gain (loss) on forward currency contracts ​ $ (8) ​ $ (4) ​ $ (8) ​ $ (4) Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency contracts ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Total net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on forward currency contracts ​ $ (4) ​ $ (3) ​ $ (8) ​ $ (4) ​ The value associated with unrealized gain or loss on open contracts is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward currency contracts within the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Offsetting of Derivative Instruments The Company has derivative instruments that are subject to master netting agreements. These agreements include provisions to offset positions with the same counterparty in the event of default by one of the parties.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active public markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2: Significant other 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. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. 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 or out of the Level 3 category as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, there were no changes in the observability of valuation inputs that would have resulted in a reclassification of assets between any levels. Fair value for each investment is derived using a combination of valuation methodologies that, in the judgment of the Investment Committee are most relevant to such investment, including, without limitation, being based on one or more of the following: (i) market prices obtained from market makers for which the Investment Committee has deemed there to be enough breadth (number of quotes) and depth (firm bids) to be indicative of fair value, (ii) the price paid or realized in a completed transaction or binding offer received in an arm’s-length transaction, (iii) a discounted cash flow analysis, (iv) the guideline public company method, (v) the similar transaction method or (vi) the option pricing method. ​ 43 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc.

An increase or decrease in the discount rate in isolation would result in significantly lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively. An increase or decrease in the market quote for an investment would in isolation result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively. An increase or decrease in the exit multiple would in isolation result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively. As the fair value of a debt investment diverges from par, which would generally be the case for non-accrual loans, the fair value measurement of that investment is more susceptible to volatility from changes in exit multiples as a significant unobservable input. ​ 46 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc.

Significant judgment is required in selecting the assumptions used to determine the fair values of these investments. The valuation methods 48 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) selected for a particular investment are based on the circumstances and on the sufficiency of data available to measure fair value. If more than one valuation method is used to measure fair value, the results are evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results. A fair value measurement is the point within that range that is most representative of fair value in the circumstances. The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the nature of the instrument, whether the instrument is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market and the current market conditions. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires a greater degree of judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for financial instruments classified as Level 3. The determination of fair value using the selected methodologies takes into consideration a range of factors including the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public and private exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment, compliance with agreed upon terms and covenants, and assessment of credit ratings of an underlying borrower. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment to be exercised. As it relates to investments which do not have an active public market, there is no single standard for determining the estimated fair value. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, and they may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these investments existed. In some cases, fair value for such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a single estimate may then be determined. Consequently, fair value for each investment may be derived using a combination of valuation methodologies that, in the judgment of the investment professionals, are most relevant to such investment. The selected valuation methodologies for a particular investment are consistently applied on each measurement date. However, a change in a valuation methodology or its application from one measurement date to another is possible if the change results in a measurement that is equally or more representative of fair value in the circumstances. The following table presents the principal amount and fair value of the Company’s borrowings as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The fair value of the Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6) was estimated by discounting remaining payments using applicable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date, if available. The fair value of the Company’s 6.00% private notes due 2023 (the “6.000% 2023 Notes”), the 5.375% private notes due 2025 (the “5.375% 2025 Notes”), the 5.375% private notes due 2026 (the “5.375% 2026 Notes”), the 4.00% notes due 2026 (the “4.000% 2026 Notes”), the 5.625% private notes due 2027 (the “5.625% 2027 Notes”), and the 4.25% private notes due 2028 (the “4.250% 2028 Notes”) were estimated using discounted future cash flows to the valuation date. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of June 30, 2022 ​ As of December 31, 2021 ​ ​ Fair ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Value Level Principal Amount Outstanding Fair Value Principal Amount Outstanding Fair Value JPM Credit Facility 3 ​ $ 238,738 ​ $ 254,138 ​ $ 291,637 ​ $ 302,147 6.000% 2023 Notes 3 ​ 30,000 ​ 30,874 ​ 30,000 ​ 31,802 5.375% 2025 Notes 3 ​ 40,000 ​ 39,312 ​ 40,000 ​ 40,687 5.375% 2026 Notes ​ 3 ​ ​ 10,000 ​ ​ 9,683 ​ ​ 10,000 ​ ​ 10,091 4.000% 2026 Notes 3 ​ 75,000 ​ 71,438 ​ 75,000 ​ 74,957 5.625% 2027 Notes 3 ​ 10,000 ​ 9,649 ​ 10,000 ​ 10,097 4.250% 2028 Notes ​ 3 ​ ​ 25,000 ​ 23,434 ​ ​ 25,000 ​ 24,861 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 428,738 ​ $ 438,528 ​ $ 481,637 ​ $ 494,642 ​ ​ ​ 49 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) ​ NOTE 6 – BORROWINGS Historically, the 1940 Act has permitted the Company to issue “senior securities,” including borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions, only in amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such incurrence or issuance. In March 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”) was enacted into law. The SBCAA, among other things, amended the 1940 Act to reduce the asset coverage requirements applicable to business development companies from 200% to 150% so long as the business development company meets certain disclosure requirements and obtains certain approvals. At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on August 1, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved the reduced asset coverage ratio from 200% to 150%, such that the Company’s maximum debt-to-equity ratio increased from a prior maximum of 1.0x (equivalent of $1 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity) to a maximum of 2.0x (equivalent to $2 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity).

On November 1, 2018, at an in-person meeting, the Company’s board of directors approved an amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Company’s board of directors most recently re-approved the Investment Advisory Agreement on August 4, 2022. Subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s board of directors, WhiteHorse Advisers manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment management services to, the Company. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, WhiteHorse Advisers: ● determines the composition of the investment portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to the portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes; ● identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments the Company makes (including performing due diligence on the Company’s prospective portfolio companies); and ● closes, monitors and administers the investments the Company makes, including the exercise of any voting or consent rights. In addition, WhiteHorse Advisers provides the Company with access to personnel and an Investment Committee. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays WhiteHorse Advisers a fee for investment management services consisting of a base management fee and an incentive fee. The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party. Base Management Fee The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate equal to 2.0% based on the Company’s consolidated gross assets (including cash and cash equivalents and assets purchased with borrowed funds); provided, however, the base management fee will be calculated at an annual rate equal to 1.25% of the Company’s consolidated gross assets (including cash and cash equivalents and assets purchased with borrowed funds), that exceed the product of (i) 200% and (ii) the value of the Company’s total net assets, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. Base management fees are payable quarterly in arrears and are appropriately pro-rated for any partial month or quarter. 53 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) The following table details our management fee expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended June 30, ​ ​ Six months ended June 30, ​ Management Fee ($ in thousands) ​ 2022 ​ ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ ​ 2021 Base management fee ​ $ 3,908 ​ $ 3,357 ​ $ 7,859 ​ $ 6,701 ​ Base management fee waived ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ Total management fees ​ $ 3,908 ​ $ 3,357 ​ $ 7,859 ​ $ 6,701 ​ As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, management fees payable on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities were $3,908 and $3,766, respectively. Performance-based Incentive Fee The performance-based incentive fee consists of two components that are independent of each other, except as provided by the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism discussed below. The calculations of these two components have been structured to include a fee limitation such that no incentive fee will be paid to the investment adviser for any quarter if, after such payment, the cumulative incentive fees paid to the investment adviser for the period that includes the current fiscal quarter and the 11 full preceding fiscal quarters, referred to as the “Incentive Fee Look-back Period,” would exceed 20.0% of the Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return (as defined below) during the Incentive Fee Look-back Period. Each quarterly incentive fee is subject to the Incentive Fee Cap (as defined below) and a deferral mechanism through which the investment adviser may recap a portion of such deferred incentive fees, which is referred to together as the “Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism.” This limitation is accomplished by subjecting each incentive fee payable to a cap, which is referred to as the “Incentive Fee Cap.” The Incentive Fee Cap in any quarter is equal to (a) 20.0% of Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return during the Incentive Fee Look-back Period less (b) cumulative incentive fees of any kind paid to the investment adviser during the Incentive Fee Look-back Period. To the extent the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value in any quarter, the Company will pay no incentive fee to its investment adviser in that quarter. The Company will only pay incentive fees to the extent allowed by the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism. To the extent that the payment of incentive fees is limited by the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism, the payment of such fees may be deferred and paid in subsequent quarters up to three years after their date of deferment, subject to applicable limitations included in the Investment Advisory Agreement. The deferral component of the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism may cause incentive fees that accrued during one fiscal quarter to be paid to the investment adviser at any time during the 11 full fiscal quarters following such initial full fiscal quarter. The “Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return” refers to the sum of (a) Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined below) for each period during the Incentive Fee Look-back Period and (b) the sum of cumulative realized capital gains, cumulative realized capital losses, cumulative unrealized capital depreciation and cumulative unrealized capital appreciation during the applicable Incentive Fee Look-back Period. The first component, which is income-based (the “Income Incentive Fee”), is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and is determined based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism. For this purpose, “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means, in each case on a consolidated basis, interest income, distribution income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, 54 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees received from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”), any interest expense and any dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The operation of the first component of the incentive fee for each quarter is as follows: ● no incentive fee is payable to the Company’s investment adviser in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the “Hurdle Rate” of 1.75% (7.00% annualized); ● 100% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) is payable to the Company’s investment adviser. This portion of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than 2.1875%) is referred to as the “catch-up.” The effect of the catch-up is that, if such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter, the investment adviser will receive 20% of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if the Hurdle Rate did not apply; and ● 20% of the amount of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) is payable to the Company’s investment adviser (once the Hurdle Rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income). The portion of such incentive fee that is attributable to deferred interest (such as PIK interest or original issue discount) will be paid to the investment adviser, together with interest from the date of deferral to the date of payment, only if and to the extent that the Company actually receives such interest in cash, and any accrual will be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write-off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual. Any reversal of such amounts would reduce net income for the quarter by the net amount of the reversal (after taking into account the reversal of incentive fees payable) and would result in a reduction and possibly elimination of the incentive fees for such quarter. There is no accumulation of amounts on the Hurdle Rate from quarter to quarter and, accordingly, there is no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the quarterly Hurdle Rate and there is no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the quarterly Hurdle Rate. Since the Hurdle Rate is fixed, as interest rates rise, it will be easier for the investment adviser to surpass the Hurdle Rate and receive an incentive fee based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income. Net investment income used to calculate this component of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of consolidated gross assets used to calculate the base management fee. These calculations will be appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current quarter. The second component, the capital gains component of the incentive fee (the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee”), which is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), commenced on January 1, 2013, and equals 20% of cumulative aggregate realized capital gains from January 1 through the end of each calendar year, computed net of aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation through the end of each year (the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee Base”), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees and subject to the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism. If such amount is negative, then no capital gains incentive fee will be payable for the year. Additionally, if the Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date will be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying the capital gains incentive fee. The capital gains component of the incentive fee is not subject to any minimum return to stockholders. 55 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) In accordance with GAAP, the Company is also required to include the aggregate unrealized capital appreciation on investments in the calculation and accrue a capital gains incentive fee on a quarterly basis if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. If the Capital Gains Incentive Fee Base, adjusted as required by GAAP to include unrealized capital appreciation, is positive at the end of a reporting period, then GAAP requires the Company to accrue a Capital Gains Incentive Fee equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of any Capital Gains Incentive Fees previously paid and Capital Gains Incentive Fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. The resulting accrual under GAAP in a given period may result in either additional expense (if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period) or a reversal of previously recorded expense (if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period). There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that the Company may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where it incurs a loss subject to the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism. For example, if the Company receives Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in excess of the Hurdle Rate, it will pay the applicable Income Incentive Fee even after incurring a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized capital losses. The following table provides a breakdown of the performance-based incentive fees for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended June 30, ​ ​ Six months ended June 30, ​ Performance-based Incentive Fee ($ in thousands) ​ 2022 ​ ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ ​ 2021 Income incentive fee ​ $ 1,943 ​ $ 1,746 ​ $ 3,935 ​ $ 3,674 ​ Capital gains incentive fee ​ ​ (106) ​ ​ 882 ​ ​ (671) ​ ​ 996 ​ Performance-based incentive fees waived ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ Total performance-based incentive fees ​ $ 1,837 ​ $ 2,628 ​ $ 3,264 ​ $ 4,670 ​ ​ As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, incentive fees payable on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities were $5,176 and $7,958, respectively.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments : In the normal course of business, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its borrowers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. The Company attempts to limit its credit risk by conducting extensive due diligence and obtaining collateral where appropriate. The balance of unfunded commitments to extend credit was $34,547 and $53,113 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Commitments to extend credit consist principally of the unused portions of commitments that obligate the Company to extend credit, such as revolving credit arrangements or similar transactions. These commitments are often subject to financial or non-financial milestones and other conditions to borrow that must be achieved before the commitment can be drawn. In addition, the commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. ​ 57 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had commitments to fund equity interests and subordinated notes in STRS JV of $15,000 and $60,000, respectively, both of which were fully funded. The capital commitments cannot be drawn without an affirmative vote by both the Company’s and STRS Ohio’s representatives on STRS JV’s board of managers. Indemnification : In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties that 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 occurred. The Company expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote. Legal Proceedings : In the normal course of business, the Company, the investment adviser and the administrator may be subject to legal and regulatory proceedings that are generally incidental to its ongoing operations. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings, the Company does not believe any such disposition will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. COVID-19 Developments : In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and subsequent to June 30, 2022, the current pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (commonly known as “COVID-19”) has had a significant impact on the U.S. economy. Certain of the Company’s portfolio companies were and may continue to be adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and may continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s future net investment income, the fair value of its portfolio investments, its financial condition and the results of operations and financial condition of the Company’s portfolio companies. NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY On March 15, 2021, the Company launched an “at-the-market” offering (the “ATM Program”) by entering into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through Raymond James & Associates, Inc., as the sales agent, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering amount of up to $35,000. ​ Since the commencement of the ATM Program, the Company sold 276,360 shares of its common stock under the ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $15.77 per share, which amounted to $4,359 in gross proceeds. The Company received net proceeds of $4,272 after deducting commissions to the sales agent, but before offering expenses. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $30,641 available under the ATM Program. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $30,893 available under the ATM Program. ​ On October 25, 2021, the Company completed an offering of 1,900,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $15.81 per share, inclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions. The issuance of 1,900,000 shares resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $29,374, inclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions and before offering expenses. In connection with the offering, the Company granted the underwriters an overallotment option to purchase up to an additional 285,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On November 3, 2021, the Company raised an additional $4,326 from the issuance of an additional 282,300 shares pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of the overallotment option to purchase additional shares. WhiteHorse Advisers agreed to bear a portion of the underwriting discounts and commissions in connection with the offering, such that the issuance of the 2,182,300 shares (which includes the additional shares issued pursuant to the overallotment option) resulted in net proceeds to the Company of 59 WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data) $33,700 before offering expenses, which was at or above the Company’s net ass value per share at the time of the offering and the overallotment option. The following table summarizes the total shares issued and proceeds received, before offering expenses, relating to the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock from the DRIP and pursuant to the ATM Program for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Six months ended June 30, ($ in thousands except share and per share amounts) 2022 2021 Shares Issued from ATM Program ​ 16,678 ​ 162,055 Shares Issued from DRIP ​ 63,743 ​ 14,509 Total Shares Issued ​ ​ 80,421 ​ ​ 176,564 Proceeds, before offering expenses ​ $ 1,225 ​ $ 2,792 Average Price Per Share (1) ​ $ 15.23 ​ $ 15.81 ​ ​ (1) The average price per share for three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, inclusive of offering expenses, was $13.72 and $15.34 per share, respectively. ​ ​ ​ ​ NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The following is a schedule of financial highlights: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Six months ended June 30, ​ ​ 2022 2021 Per share data: (1) ​ ​ ​ Net asset value, beginning of period ​ $ 15.10 $ 15.23 ​ Investment operations: ​ ​ ​ Net investment income ​ 0.71 ​ 0.66 ​ Net realized and unrealized gains(losses) on investments and foreign currency transactions ​ ​ (0.15) ​ ​ 0.24 ​ Net increase in net assets resulting from operations ​ 0.56 ​ 0.90 ​ Distributions declared from net investment income ​ (0.71) ​ (0.71) ​ Net asset value, end of period ​ $ 14.95 $ 15.42 ​ Total annualized return based on market value (2) ​ (30.70) % ​ 19.11 % Total annualized return based on net asset value ​ 7.48 % ​ 11.85 % Net assets, end of period ​ $ 347,425 ​ $ 319,621 ​ Per share market value at end of period ​ $ 13.14 ​ $ 14.90 ​ Shares outstanding end of period ​ 23,243,088 ​ 20,722,596 ​ Ratios/Supplemental Data: (3) ​ ​ ​ Ratio of expenses before incentive fees to average net assets (4) ​ 11.67 % 10.75 % Ratio of incentive fees to average net assets ​ 1.87 % 2.96 % Ratio of total expenses to average net assets (4) ​ 13.54 % 13.71 % Ratio of net investment income to average net assets (4) ​ 9.41 % 8.69 % Portfolio turnover ratio ​ 21.43 % 28.93 % (1) Based on actual number of shares outstanding at the end of the period or the weighted average shares outstanding for the period, unless otherwise noted, as appropriate.

You should understand that under Sections 27A(b)(2)(B) and (D) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Sections 21E(b) (2)(B) and (D) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, do not apply to statements made in connection with this quarterly report on Form 10-Q or any periodic reports we file under the Exchange Act. Overview We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. In addition, for tax purposes, we elected to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. We were formed on December 28, 2011 and commenced operations on January 1, 2012. We were originally capitalized with approximately $176.3 million of contributed assets from H.I.G. Bayside Debt & LBO Fund II, L.P. and H.I.G. Bayside Loan Opportunity Fund II, L.P., each of which is an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, L.L.C., or H.I.G. Capital. These assets were contributed as of January 1, 2012 in exchange for 11,752,383 units in WhiteHorse Finance, LLC. On December 4, 2012, we converted from a Delaware limited liability company into a Delaware corporation and elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. On December 4, 2012, we priced our initial public offering, or the IPO, selling 6,666,667 shares. Concurrent with the IPO, certain of our directors and officers, the managers of H.I.G. WhiteHorse Advisers, LLC, or WhiteHorse Advisers, and their immediate family members or entities owned by, or family trusts for the benefit of, such persons, purchased an additional 472,673 shares through a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Our shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “WHF.” We are a direct lender targeting debt investments in privately held, lower middle market companies located in the United States. We define the lower middle market as those companies with enterprise values between $50 million and $350 million. Our investment objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns primarily by originating and investing in senior secured loans, including first lien and second lien facilities, to performing lower middle market companies across a broad range of industries. Such loans typically carry a floating interest index rate such as the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, plus a spread and typically have a term of three to six years. While we focus principally on originating senior secured loans to lower middle market companies, we may also opportunistically make investments at other levels of a company’s capital structure, including mezzanine loans or equity interests, and in companies outside of the lower middle market, to the extent we believe the investment presents an opportunity to achieve an attractive risk-adjusted return. We also may receive warrants to purchase common stock in connection with our debt investments. We expect to generate current income through the receipt of interest payments, as well as origination and other fees, capital appreciation and dividends. Our investment activities are managed by WhiteHorse Advisers and are supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent of us, WhiteHorse Advisers and its affiliates. Under our investment advisory agreement with WhiteHorse Advisers, or the Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay WhiteHorse Advisers an annual base management fee based on our average consolidated gross assets as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. We have also entered into an administration agreement, or the Administration Agreement, with H.I.G. WhiteHorse Administration, LLC, or WhiteHorse Administration. Under our Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse WhiteHorse Administration for our allocable portion (subject to the review and 63 ​ approval of our independent directors) of overhead and other expenses incurred by WhiteHorse Administration in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. COVID-19 Developments The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the U.S. and global economy had adverse consequences on the business operations of some of our portfolio companies and adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our operations and the operations of our investment adviser. Our investment adviser is continuing to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business and the business of our portfolio companies and has been focused on proactively engaging with our portfolio companies in order to collaborate with the management teams of certain portfolio companies to evaluate their response to the impacts of COVID-19. We cannot predict the full impact of COVID-19 and the uncertainty surrounding the continuing effects of more contagious strains of the virus that have emerged in the United States and worldwide, including the extent to which the available vaccines prove to be ineffective against any new COVID-19 variants. In addition, countries around the world, including the United States, have seen significant increases in rates of COVID-19 infections, which was a result of, among other things, the rapid spread of COVID-19 variants, more frequent social gatherings and a reduction in the use of masks and social distancing. These developments, in conjunction with the potential adverse reactions to the vaccine, the politicization of vaccine mandates and the general public distrust of the safety and efficacy of the available vaccines may further increase the likelihood that the pandemic will continue for an extended period of time. As such, the extent to which COVID-19 and/or other disease pandemics may continue to negatively affect our business and our portfolio companies’ operating results and financial condition is uncertain. Due to the ongoing business disruptions caused by COVID-19, some of our portfolio companies have experienced financial distress and have defaulted on their financial obligations to us and their other capital providers. Such developments could impair the business operations of our portfolio companies and may result in a decrease in the value of our investment in any such portfolio companies. In connection with the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have restructured and may need to restructure additional investments in some of our portfolio companies, which has resulted in and could result in additional diminished interest payments or in permanent impairments on our investments. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above may increase the risk that more of our portfolio investments may be placed on non-accrual status in the future. Any decreases in our net investment income would increase the portion of our cash flows dedicated to distribution payments to stockholders and to servicing our existing debt under our revolving credit facility, or the Credit Facility, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender, or the Lender. WhiteHorse Advisers’ credit team continues to be in close contact with the owners and management teams of each of our portfolio companies. Since the onset of the crisis, some of these owners and management teams have assessed the impacts to their businesses and are continuing to coordinate with us to guide their companies through the recovery. We are operating under a philosophy that we will work hand in hand with our borrowers to support them, allowing flexibility in our terms as appropriate, and we expect owners to support their businesses with additional equity where possible. As a business development company, we are permitted under the 1940 Act to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 150% after such borrowing. We are required to comply with various covenants pursuant to the Credit Facility. If we fail to satisfy the covenants of the Credit Facility or are unable to cure any event of default or obtain a waiver from the applicable lender, it could result in foreclosure by the lenders under the Credit Facility, which would accelerate our repayment obligations under the Credit Facility and thereby result in a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the Credit Facility. ​ 64 ​ We are also subject to financial risks, including changes in market interest rates. As of June 30, 2022, nearly all of our debt investments at fair value were at floating rates, which are generally based on a floating index rate such as LIBOR or SOFR, and many of which are subject to certain floors. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for an analysis of the impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates. Our management team has sought strategies that will help us weather periods of economic decline. We have attempted to avoid deeply cyclical sectors and have only made loans where we believed a repeat of the financial crisis in 2008 would allow us to recover 100% of our loans. Additionally, we have taken a conservative position on the Company’s liquidity, making sure we have a top-tier leverage partner and very significant cushion against default. We will continue to monitor the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our plan of operation. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot quantify the full effect of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. Reference Rate Reform In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, or the FCA, announced that it will phase out the use of LIBOR by 2021. On November 30, 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, or the IBA, the administrator of LIBOR, announced that it will consult in early December 2020 to consider extending the LIBOR transition deadline to the end of June 2023. On March 2021, the FCA and the IBA announced that (i) 1-week and 2-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and non-U.S. LIBOR will cease at the end of 2021 and (ii) the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR tenors will cease after June 30, 2023, effectively extending the LIBOR transition period to June 30, 2023. There is currently no definitive information regarding the future utilization of LIBOR or of any particular replacement rate. To identify a successor rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, the Federal Reserve System, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. SOFR is a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. As of June 30, 2022, SOFR is utilized as the floating benchmark rate on investments to thirteen of our portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2022, SOFR is utilized as the floating benchmark rate on the Credit Facility for USD denominated borrowings above $285.0 million. We expect any new credit facilities that we enter into subsequent to June 30, 2022 will reference a benchmark interest rate other than LIBOR, such as SOFR. Other jurisdictions have also proposed their own alternative to LIBOR, including the Sterling Overnight Index Average for Sterling markets, the Euro Short Term Rate for Euros and Tokyo Overnight Average Rate for Japanese Yens. Although SOFR appears to be the preferred replacement rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, at this time, it is not possible to predict whether any of these alternative reference rates will attain market traction as a LIBOR replacement tool or the effect of any such changes as the establishment of alternative reference rates or other reforms to LIBOR may be enacted in the United States, United Kingdom or elsewhere. As such, the potential effect on how markets will respond to the transition to SOFR, or other reference rates, is uncertain. ​ 65 ​ Revenues We generate revenue in the form of interest payable on the debt securities that we hold and capital gains and distributions, if any, on the portfolio company investments that we originate or acquire. Our debt investments, whether in the form of senior secured loans or mezzanine loans, typically have terms of three to six years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate based on a spread over LIBOR or an equivalent index rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable monthly or quarterly, with the amortization of principal generally being deferred for several years from the date of the initial investment. In some cases, we may also defer payments of interest for the first few years after our investment. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest generally becomes due at the maturity date. In addition, we generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and possibly consulting fees. We capitalize loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount, and we then amortize such amounts as interest income. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, we record any unamortized loan origination fees as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as fee income when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Expenses Our primary operating expenses include (1) investment advisory fees to WhiteHorse Advisers; (2) the allocable portion of overhead under the Administration Agreement; (3) the interest expense on our outstanding debt; and (4) other operating costs as detailed below. Our investment advisory fees compensate our investment adviser for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, consummating and monitoring our investments. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including: ● our organization; ● calculating our net asset value and net asset value per share (including the costs and expenses of independent valuation firms); ● fees and expenses, including travel expenses, incurred by WhiteHorse Advisers or payable to third parties in performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies, monitoring our investments and, if necessary, enforcing our rights; ● the costs of all future offerings of common shares and other securities, and other incurrences of debt; ● the base management fee and any incentive fee; ● distributions on our shares; ● transfer agent and custody fees and expenses; ● amounts payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, evaluating, making and disposing of investments; ● brokerage fees and commissions; ● registration fees; ● listing fees; ● taxes; ● independent directors’ fees and expenses; 66 ​ ● costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws; ● the costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to our stockholders, including printing costs; ● costs of holding stockholder meetings; ● our fidelity bond; ● directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance and any other insurance premiums; ● litigation, indemnification and other non-recurring or extraordinary expenses; ● direct costs and expenses of administration and operation, including audit and legal costs; ● fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts, including deal sourcing and marketing to financial sponsors; ● dues, fees and charges of any trade association of which we are a member; and ● all other expenses reasonably incurred by us or WhiteHorse Administration in connection with administering our business, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs and expenses of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer along with their respective staffs. WhiteHorse Advisers or WhiteHorse Administration may pay for certain expenses that we incur, which are subject to reimbursement by us. ​ 67 ​ Recent Developments None. Consolidated Results of Operations Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 Set forth below are the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended June 30, ​ ​ Three Months ​ Six months ended June 30, ​ ​ Six Months ($ in thousands) ​ ​ 2022 ​ ​ 2021 ​ ​ Variance ​ ​ 2022 ​ ​ 2021 ​ ​ Variance Total investment income ​ $ 20,000 ​ $ 17,343 ​ $ 2,657 ​ $ 40,034 ​ $ 35,313 ​ $ 4,721 Total expenses ​ ​ 12,123 ​ ​ 11,243 ​ ​ 880 ​ ​ 23,618 ​ ​ 21,613 ​ ​ 2,005 Net investment income ​ ​ 7,877 ​ ​ 6,100 ​ ​ 1,777 ​ ​ 16,416 ​ ​ 13,700 ​ ​ 2,716 Net realized gains/(losses) on investments and foreign currency transactions ​ ​ 2,342 ​ ​ (563) ​ ​ 2,905 ​ ​ (16,123) ​ ​ 7,598 ​ ​ (23,721) Net change in unrealized gains/(losses) on investments and foreign currency transactions ​ ​ (2,870) ​ ​ 4,974 ​ ​ (7,844) ​ ​ 12,763 ​ ​ (2,618) ​ ​ 15,381 Net increase in net assets resulting from operations ​ $ 7,349 ​ $ 10,511 ​ $ (3,162) ​ $ 13,056 ​ $ 18,680 ​ $ (5,624) ​ The consolidated results of operations described below may not be indicative of the results we report in future periods. Net investment income and net increase in net assets can vary substantially from period to period due to various reasons, including the level of new investments and the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, period to period comparisons of net increases in net assets resulting from operations may not be meaningful. Consolidated operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: Net Investment Income Net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $7.9 million and $16.4 million, respectively. Net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $6.1 million and $13.7 million, respectively. Net investment income increased by $1.8 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as described below under “Investment Income” and “Operating Expenses”. Investment Income Investment income increased by $2.7 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily attributable to higher interest income earned from investments in portfolio companies due to a larger investment portfolio. Investment income generated from our STRS JV subordinated notes and equity investments increased by $1.0 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of a larger investment portfolio and the increased economic interest to 66.67% from 60.0%, starting in February 2022. The investment income increase was partially offset by lower dividend income of $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to higher dividends received from Arcole Holding Corporation in 2021. 68 ​ Operating Expenses The following table summarizes our expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended June 30, ​ ​ Three Months ​ Six months ended June 30, ​ ​ Six Months ($ in thousands) ​ ​ 2022 ​ ​ 2021 ​ ​ Variance ​ ​ 2022 ​ ​ 2021 ​ ​ Variance Interest expense ​ $ 4,945 ​ $ 3,811 ​ $ 1,134 ​ $ 9,719 ​ $ 7,613 ​ $ 2,106 Base management fees ​ ​ 3,908 ​ ​ 3,357 ​ ​ 551 ​ ​ 7,859 ​ ​ 6,701 ​ ​ 1,158 Performance-based incentive fees ​ ​ 1,837 ​ ​ 2,628 ​ ​ (791) ​ ​ 3,264 ​ ​ 4,670 ​ ​ (1,406) Administrative service fees ​ ​ 170 ​ ​ 170 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 341 ​ ​ 341 ​ ​ — General and administrative expenses ​ ​ 1,088 ​ ​ 875 ​ ​ 213 ​ ​ 2,036 ​ ​ 1,696 ​ ​ 340 Total expenses, before excise tax ​ $ 11,948 ​ $ 10,841 ​ $ 1,107 ​ ​ 23,219 ​ ​ 21,021 ​ ​ 2,198 Excise tax ​ ​ 175 ​ ​ 402 ​ ​ (227) ​ ​ 399 ​ ​ 592 ​ ​ (193) Total expenses, including excise tax ​ $ 12,123 ​ $ 11,243 ​ $ 880 ​ $ 23,618 ​ $ 21,613 ​ $ 2,005 Interest expense increased $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to a higher borrowing base and higher weighted average interest rates. Base management fees increased by $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 due to higher gross assets. Performance-based incentive fees decreased by $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, mainly attributable to the impact of the reversal of capital gains incentive fee accrual for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher professional fees. Excise Tax Expense We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to be subject to tax as a RIC, we are required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements, as well as timely distribute to our stockholders dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid for each tax year. We have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders that will generally relieve us from U.S. federal income taxes. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year in an amount less than what would trigger payments of U.S. federal income tax under Subchapter M of the Code. We may then be required to incur a 4% excise tax on such income. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income may exceed estimated current year distributions, we accrue excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. Excise tax was $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Excise tax was $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we accrued a net federal excise tax expense of $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. ​ 69 ​ Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Investments The following shows the breakdown of net realized gains and losses on investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended ​ Six months ended ($ in millions) June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 AG Kings Holdings Inc.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the realization from Grupo HIMA San Pablo, Inc. generated a net realized and unrealized loss of $6.9 million. Financial Condition, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Liquidity and Capital Resources This “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section should be read in conjunction with the “COVID-19 Developments” section above. As a business development company, we distribute substantially all of our net income to our stockholders. We generate cash primarily from offerings of securities, borrowings under the Credit Facility, and cash flows from operations, including interest earned from the temporary investment of cash in U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. We expect to fund a portion of our investments through future borrowings. In the future, we may obtain borrowings under other credit facilities and from issuances of senior securities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. We may also borrow funds to the extent we determine that additional capital would allow us to take advantage of additional investment opportunities, if the market for debt financing presents 70 ​ attractively priced debt financing opportunities or if our board of directors determines that leveraging our portfolio would be in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders. Our board of directors may decide to issue common stock, such as through at-the-market offerings, direct placements or otherwise, to finance our operations rather than issuing debt or other senior securities. Any decision to sell shares below the then-current net asset value per share of our common stock is subject to stockholder approval and a determination by our board of directors that such issuance and sale is in our and our stockholders’ best interests. Any sale or other issuance of shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value per share results in immediate dilution to our stockholders’ interests in our common stock and a reduction in our net asset value per share. If we were to issue additional shares of our common stock during the next 12 months, we do not intend to issue shares below the then-current net asset value per share. Restricted cash and cash equivalents include amounts that are collected and held by the trustee appointed as custodian of the assets securing the Credit Facility. Restricted cash is held by the trustee for the payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings or reinvestment into new assets. Restricted cash that represents interest or fee income is transferred to unrestricted cash accounts by the trustee generally once a quarter after the payment of operating expenses and amounts due under the Credit Facility. We may become a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of our business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. These instruments may include commitments to extend credit and involve elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had commitments to fund approximately $34.5 million and $53.1 million, respectively, of revolving lines of credit or delayed draw facilities to our portfolio companies. We reasonably believe that we have sufficient assets to adequately cover and allow us to satisfy our outstanding unfunded commitments. Our operating activities provided cash and cash equivalents of $64.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily from the net proceeds received from realizations and repayments on our investments, partially offset by acquisition of investments and cash used from the net change in working capital. Our financing activities used cash and cash equivalents of $68.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to repayments on the Credit Facility and the payment of distributions to stockholders. Our operating activities provided cash and cash equivalents of $40.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily from the net proceeds received from realizations and repayments on our investments, partially offset by acquisition of investments and cash used from the net change in working capital. Our financing activities used cash and cash equivalents of $38.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to repayments on the Credit Facility and the payment of distributions to stockholders, offset by proceeds from sales of common stock. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalent resources of $18.6 million, including $9.4 million of restricted cash. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $96.3 million undrawn and available to be drawn under the Credit Facility based on the collateral and portfolio quality requirements stipulated in the related credit agreement. As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalent resources of $22.5 million, including $10.3 million of restricted cash. As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $43.4 million undrawn and available to be drawn under the Credit Facility based on the collateral and portfolio quality requirements stipulated in the related credit agreement. STRS JV In January 2019, we and STRS Ohio formed a joint venture, STRS JV, that invests primarily in senior secured loans, including first lien and second lien facilities, to performing lower middle market companies across a broad range of industries that typically carry a floating interest index rate based on the LIBOR or an equivalent index rate and have a term of three to six years. STRS JV invests in portfolio companies in the same industries in which we may directly invest. STRS JV was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is not consolidated by either us or STRS Ohio 71 ​ for financial reporting purposes. On July 19, 2019 STRS JV formally launched operations. As of June 30, 2022, STRS JV had total assets of $336.5 million. As of December 31, 2021, STRS JV had total assets of $273.5 million. We provide capital to STRS JV in the form of limited liability company, or LLC equity interests, and subordinated notes. In February 2022, we increased our capital commitment to the STRS JV in the amount of an additional $25.0 million, which brings our total capital commitment to the STRS JV to $100.0 million, comprised of $80.0 million of subordinated notes and $20.0 million of LLC equity interests. As of June 30, 2022, our and STRS Ohio’s economic ownership in STRS JV were approximately 66.67% and 33.33%, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, our investment in STRS JV consisted of equity contributions and subordinated note advances of $20.0 million and $80.0 million, respectively, both of which were fully funded. As of December 31, 2021, our and STRS Ohio’s economic ownership in STRS JV were approximately 60% and 40%, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, we had commitments to fund equity interests and subordinated notes in STRS JV of $15.0 million and $60.0 million, respectively, both of which were fully funded. STRS JV is managed by a four-person board of managers, two of whom are selected by us and two of whom are selected by STRS Ohio. All material decisions with respect to STRS JV, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of managers. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of managers; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each member; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of managers; provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the member with only one individual present is entitled to cast two votes on each matter; or (iii) the presence of four members of the board of managers; provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each member.

In connection with the offering, we granted the underwriters an overallotment option to purchase up to an additional 285,000 shares of our common stock. The issuance of 1,900,000 shares resulted in net proceeds to us of $29.4 million, inclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions and before offering expenses. On November 3, 2021, we raised an additional $4.3 million from the issuance of an additional 282,300 shares pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of the overallotment option to purchase additional shares. WhiteHorse Advisers agreed to bear a portion of the underwriting discounts and commissions in connection with the offering, such that the issuance of the 2,182,300 shares (which includes the additional shares issued pursuant to the overallotment option) resulted in net proceeds to us of $33.7 million before offering expenses, which was at or above our net asset value per share at the time of the offering and the overallotment option. At-the-Market Offering On March 15, 2021, we entered into an equity distribution agreement, or the Equity Distribution Agreement, with WhiteHorse Advisers, WhiteHorse Administration and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., as the sales agent, or the Sales Agent, in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock, with an aggregate offering price of up to $35.0 million. The Equity Distribution Agreement provides that we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through the Sales Agent in amounts and at times to be determined by us (the “ATM Offering”). Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including market conditions and the trading price of our common stock. We expect to use all or substantially all of the net proceeds from the ATM Offering to invest in portfolio companies in accordance with our investment objective and strategies and for general corporate purposes. Since the commencement of the ATM Offering, gross proceeds of $4.4 million have been raised. Credit Facility On December 23, 2015, our wholly owned subsidiary WhiteHorse Credit I, LLC, or WhiteHorse Credit, entered into a revolving credit and security agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan”), as administrative agent and lender (the “Credit Facility”). On December 21, 2020, the terms of the Credit Facility were amended to, among other things, (i) increase the minimum funding amount from $175.0 million to $200.0 million, (ii) increase the size of the facility from $250.0 million to $285.0 million, (iii) retain an accordion feature which allows for the expansion of the borrowing limit up to $350.0 million and (iv) provide for the implementation of certain changes relating to the transition away from LIBOR in the market. On April 28, 2021, the terms of the Credit Facility were amended and restated to, among other things, enable WhiteHorse Credit to borrow in British Pounds or Euros. On July 15, 2021, the terms of the Credit Facility were amended to, among other things, allow WhiteHorse Credit to reduce the applicable margins for interest rates to 2.35%, extend the non-call period from November 22, 2021 to November 22, 2022, extend the end of the reinvestment period from November 22, 2023 to November 22, 2024 and extend the scheduled termination date from November 22, 2024, to November 22, 2025. On October 4, 2021, the terms of the Credit Facility were amended to, among other things, establish a temporary upsize to the borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, which allowed WhiteHorse Credit to borrow up to $335.0 million for a three-month period beginning on October 4, 2021. On January 4, 2022, the terms of the Credit Facility were amended to, among other things, continue to establish a temporary upsize to the borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, which allowed WhiteHorse Credit to borrow up to $335.0 million for a four-month period that originally began on October 4, 2021. 74 ​ On February 4, 2022, the terms of the Credit Facility were further amended to, among other things (i) permanently increase WhiteHorse Credit’s availability under the Credit Facility from $285.0 million to $310.0 million (the “$25 Million Increase”), (ii) increase the minimum funding amount from $200.0 million to $217.0 million, (iii) extend an additional temporary increase of $25.0 million in availability under the Credit Facility, allowing WhiteHorse Credit to borrow up to $335.0 million through April 4, 2022 (the “$25 Million Temporary Increase”), and (iv) apply an annual interest rate equal to applicable SOFR plus 2.50% to any borrowings under the $25 Million Increase in the Credit Facility and the $25 Million Temporary Increase in availability under the Credit Facility. On March 30, 2022, the terms of the Credit Facility were further amended to, among other things: (i) increase WhiteHorse Credit’s availability under the Credit Facility from $310.0 million to $335.0 million; (ii) retain an accordion feature which allows for the expansion of the borrowing limit up to $375.0 million; and (iii) increase the minimum funding amount from $217.0 million to $234.5 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Credit Facility provided for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $335.0 million with an accordion feature which allows for the expansion of the borrowing limit up to $375.0 million, subject to consent from the Lender and other customary conditions. As of June 30, 2022, the required minimum outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility were $234.5 million. Under the Credit Facility, there are two coverage tests that WhiteHorse Credit must meet on specified compliance dates in order to permit WhiteHorse Credit to make new borrowings and to make distributions in the ordinary course: (i) a borrowing base test and (ii) a market value test. The borrowing base test compares, at any given time, the aggregate outstanding amount of all Lender advances under the Credit Facility less the amount of principal proceeds in respect of the collateral on deposit in the accounts to the net asset value of the collateral, as set forth in the credit agreement, as amended and restated from time to time, in connection therewith (the “Amended Loan Agreement”), and related documentation. To meet the borrowing base test, this ratio must be less than or equal to 50%, as set forth in the Amended Loan Agreement and related documentation. To meet the market value test, the value of WhiteHorse Credit’s portfolio investments must exceed a minimum of 165% of the aggregate outstanding amount of all Lender advances as set forth in the Amended Loan Agreement and related documentation. Advances under the Credit Facility are based on the three-month LIBOR for USD denominated borrowings plus an annual spread of 2.35% on outstanding USD denominated borrowings up to $285.0 million and SOFR plus 2.50% on USD denominated borrowings above $285.0 million. The Credit Facility bears interest at EURIBOR, for EUR denominated borrowings, CDOR for CAD denominated borrowings, Sterling Overnight Index Average, for GBP denominated, plus a spread of 2.35% on outstanding borrowings. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. WhiteHorse Credit is required to pay a non-usage fee which accrues at 0.75% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the financing commitments, to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Credit Facility has not been borrowed. WhiteHorse Credit paid an upfront fee and incurred certain other customary costs and expenses in connection with obtaining the Credit Facility. Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on November 22, 2025. The Credit Facility and the related documents require WhiteHorse Finance and WhiteHorse Credit to, among other things, agree to make certain customary representations and to comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Facility also includes customary events of default for credit facilities of this nature, including breaches of representations, warranties or covenants by WhiteHorse Finance or WhiteHorse Credit, the occurrence of a change in control, or failure to maintain certain required ratios. If we fail to perform our obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement or the related agreements, an event of default may occur, which could cause the Lender to accelerate all of the outstanding debt and other obligations under the Credit Facility or to exercise other remedies under the Amended Loan Agreement. Any such developments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If any of our contractual obligations discussed above is terminated, our costs under new agreements that we enter into may increase. In addition, we will likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide 75 ​ the services we expect to receive under our Investment Advisory Agreement and our Administration Agreement. Any new investment management agreement would also be subject to approval by our stockholders. As of June 30, 2022, there was $238.7 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and, based on collateral and portfolio requirements stipulated in the Credit Facility agreement, approximately $96.3 million was available to be drawn on such date. The Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets of WhiteHorse Credit, which included loans with a fair value of $626.7 million as of June 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, there was $291.6 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and, based on collateral and portfolio requirements stipulated in the Credit Facility agreement, approximately $43.4 million was available to be drawn on such date. The Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets of WhiteHorse Credit, which included loans with a fair value of $719.5 million as of December 31, 2021. 6.000% 2023 Notes On July 13, 2018, we entered into the 2023 Note Purchase Agreement to sell in a private offering $30 million of aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes to qualified institutional investors in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The 2025 Public Notes had a maturity date of November 30, 2025 and were redeemable in whole or in part at any time, or from time to time, at our option on or after November 30, 2021. The 2025 Public Notes were redeemed on December 17, 2021 and were de-listed from the Nasdaq Global Select Market where they were trading under the symbol “WHFBZ.” Portfolio Investments and Yield As of June 30, 2022, our investment portfolio consisted primarily of senior secured loans across 105 positions in 68 companies with an aggregate fair value of $766.5 million. As of June 30, 2022, the majority of our portfolio was comprised of senior secured loans to lower middle market borrowers and nearly all of those loans were variable-rate investments (primarily indexed to LIBOR) with three fixed-rate loan investments representing 0.4% based on fair value. As of June 30, 2022, our portfolio had an average investment size of $6.4 million based on fair value and average debt investment size of $7.9 million, with investment sizes ranging from zero to $23.5 million and a weighted average effective yield of 9.9% (and a weighted average effective yield on income-producing debt investments of 9.9%). 77 ​ As of December 31, 2021, our investment portfolio consisted primarily of senior secured loans across 127 positions in 76 companies with an aggregate fair value of $819.2 million. As of December 31, 2021, the majority of our portfolio was comprised of senior secured loans to lower middle market borrowers and nearly all of those loans were variable-rate investments, primarily indexed to LIBOR, with four fixed-rate loan investments representing 0.4% based on fair value. As of December 31, 2021, our portfolio had an average investment size of $5.9 million based on fair value and average debt investment size of $6.8 million, with investment sizes ranging from zero to $24.0 million and a weighted average effective yield of 9.0% (and a weighted average effective yield on income-producing debt investments of 9.1%). For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we invested $170.5 million in new and existing portfolio companies, offset by repayments and sales of $222.2 million. Proceeds from sales totaled $97.6 million while repayments included $6.0 million of scheduled repayments and $118.6 million of unscheduled repayments. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we invested $190.8 million in new and existing portfolio companies, offset by repayments and sales of $219.3 million. Proceeds from sales totaled $87.8 million while repayments included $6.0 million of scheduled repayments and $125.5 million of unscheduled repayments. We actively monitor and manage our portfolio with regard to individual company performance as well as general market conditions. Investment decisions on new originations generally include an analysis of the impact of the new loan on our broader portfolio, including a “top-down” assessment of portfolio diversification and risk exposure. This assessment includes a review of portfolio concentration by issuer, industry, geography and type of credit as well as an evaluation of our portfolio’s exposure to macroeconomic factors and cyclical trends. We believe that consistent, active monitoring of individual companies and the broader market is integral to portfolio management and a critical component of our investment process. Our investment adviser uses several methods to evaluate and monitor the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include the following: ● frequent discussions with management and sponsors, including board observation rights where possible; ● comparing/analyzing financial performance to the portfolio company’s business plan, as well as our internal projections developed at underwriting; ● tracking portfolio company compliance with covenants as well as other metrics identified at initial investment stage, such as acquisitions, divestitures, product development and specified management hires; and ● periodic review by the investment committee of each asset in the portfolio and more rigorous monitoring of “watch list” positions. As part of the monitoring process, our investment adviser regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and, on a quarterly basis, grades each investment on a risk scale of 1 to 5. This risk rating system is intended to identify and assess risks relative to when we initially made the investment and could be impacted by such factors as company-specific performance, changes in collateral, changes in potential exit opportunities or macroeconomic conditions. All investments are initially assigned a rating of 2, as this grade represents a company that is meeting initial expectations with regard to performance and outlook. A rating may be improved to a 1 if, in the opinion of our investment adviser, a portfolio company’s risk of loss has been reduced relative to initial expectations. An investment will be assigned a rating of 3 if the risk of loss has increased relative to initial expectations and will be assigned a rating of 4 if our investment principal is at a material risk of not being fully repaid. A rating of 5 indicates an investment is in payment default and has significant risk of not receiving full repayment. ​ 78 ​ The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5 investment performance rating scale at fair value: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of June 30, 2022 ​ As of December 31, 2021 ​ Investment Performance Rating ($ in millions) Investments at Fair Value Percentage of Total Portfolio Investments at Fair Value Percentage of Total Portfolio ​ 1 ​ $ 92.0 ​ 12.0 % $ 125.8 ​ 15.4 % 2 ​ ​ 558.4 ​ 72.8 ​ ​ 611.9 ​ 74.7 ​ 3 ​ ​ 107.1 ​ 14.0 ​ ​ 73.2 ​ 8.9 ​ 4 ​ ​ 9.0 ​ 1.2 ​ ​ 8.3 ​ 1.0 ​ 5 ​ ​ — ​ — ​ ​ — ​ — ​ Total Portfolio ​ $ 766.5 ​ 100.0 % $ 819.2 ​ 100.0 % ​ Distributions In order to maintain our status as a RIC and to avoid the imposition of corporate-level tax on income, we must distribute dividends to our stockholders each taxable year of an amount generally at least equal to the sum of 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses out of the assets legally available for distribution. In order to avoid the imposition of certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we must distribute dividends in respect of each calendar year of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses, or capital gain net income, adjusted for certain ordinary losses, for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (3) any ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding years that were not distributed during such years on which we incurred no U.S. federal income tax. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 we declared to stockholders distributions of $0.355 and $0.71 for total distributions of $8.3 million and $16.5 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 we declared to stockholders distributions of $0.355 and $0.71 per share, respectively for total distributions of $7.4 million and $14.7 million, respectively. The timing and amount of our quarterly distributions, if any, are determined by our board of directors. While we intend to make distributions on a quarterly basis to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution, we may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of our distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage requirements applicable to us as a business development company under the 1940 Act. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including the possible loss of our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions. ​ 79 ​ To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions paid for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, the source of a distribution to our stockholders may be the original capital invested by the stockholder rather than our income or gains. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we estimate that distributions to stockholders included $16.5 million of ordinary income, for tax purposes, based on earnings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and current earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2022 The specific tax characteristics of the distribution will be reported to stockholders on or after the end of the calendar year 2022 and in our periodic reports with the SEC. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is only ordinary income or gains. In addition, in order to satisfy the annual distribution requirement applicable to RICs, we may declare a significant portion of our dividends in shares of our common stock instead of in cash. As long as a portion of such dividend is paid in cash (which portion may be as low as 20% of such dividend under published guidance from the Internal Revenue Service) and certain requirements are met, the entire distribution will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a stockholder generally would be subject to tax on 100% of the fair market value of the dividend on the date the dividend is received by the stockholder in the same manner as a cash dividend, even though most of the dividend was paid in shares of our common stock. We have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan, or the DRIP, for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a distribution, then stockholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock unless a stockholder specifically “opts out” of our DRIP. If a stockholder opts out, that stockholder receives cash distributions. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of our common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders participating in our DRIP will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. Related Party Transactions We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following: ● WhiteHorse Advisers manages our day-to-day operations and provides investment management services to us pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. ● WhiteHorse Administration and certain of its affiliates provide us with the office facilities and administrative services, including access to the resources necessary for us to perform our obligations towards certain portfolio companies, pursuant to the Administration Agreement. ● We have entered into a license agreement with an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital pursuant to which we have been granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the “WhiteHorse” name. We entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with WhiteHorse Advisers in accordance with the 1940 Act on December 4, 2012, which was most recently amended on November 1, 2018. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, WhiteHorse Advisers manages our day-to-day investment operations and provides us with access to personnel and an investment committee and certain other resources so that we may fulfill our obligation to act as a portfolio manager of WhiteHorse Credit under the Credit Facility. Payments under the Investment Advisory Agreement in future periods will be equal to (1) a management fee equal to 2.0% of the value of our consolidated gross assets; provided, however, that the management fee on consolidated gross assets financed using leverage over 200% asset coverage (in other words, over 1.0x debt to equity) will be equal to 1.25% and (2) an incentive fee based on our performance. See “Investment Advisory Agreement” in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements. ​ 80 ​ We also entered into the Administration Agreement with WhiteHorse Administration on December 4, 2012. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, WhiteHorse Administration furnishes us with office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. WhiteHorse Administration also furnishes us with resources necessary for us to act as portfolio manager to WhiteHorse Credit under the Credit Facility. If requested to provide managerial assistance to our portfolio companies, WhiteHorse Administration will be paid an additional amount based on the services provided, which amount will not, in any case, exceed the amount we receive from the portfolio companies for such services. Payments under the Administration Agreement will be based upon our allocable portion of WhiteHorse Administration’s overhead expenses in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer along with their respective staffs. WhiteHorse Advisers, WhiteHorse Administration or their respective affiliates may have other clients with similar, different or competing investment objectives. In serving in these multiple capacities, WhiteHorse Advisers, WhiteHorse Administration or their respective affiliates may have obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in the best interests of us or our stockholders. Such persons may face conflicts in the allocation of investment opportunities among us and other investment funds or accounts advised by or affiliated with WhiteHorse Advisers or WhiteHorse Administration. WhiteHorse Advisers or its affiliates will seek to allocate investment opportunities among eligible accounts in a manner that is fair and equitable over time and consistent with its allocation policy. However, we can offer no assurance that such opportunities will be allocated to us fairly or equitably in the short-term or over time. We depend on the communications and information systems and policies of WhiteHorse Advisers and its affiliates as well as certain third-party service providers to monitor and prevent cybersecurity incidents. Our board of directors and management periodically review and assess the effectiveness of such communications and information systems and policies. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. We have identified the following as critical accounting estimates. Principles of Consolidation Under the investment company financial accounting guidance, as formally codified in Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company. As provided under ASC Topic 946, we generally consolidate any investment company when we own 100% of its partners’ or members’ capital or equity units. We own a 100% equity interest in each of WhiteHorse Credit, WHF PMA Holdco Blocker, LLC, WhiteHorse RCKC Holdings, LLC and WhiteHorse Finance Holdings, LLC, which are investment companies for accounting purposes. As such, we have consolidated the accounts of WhiteHorse Credit, WHF PMA Holdco Blocker, LLC, WhiteHorse RCKC Holdings LLC and WhiteHorse Finance Holdings, LLC into our financial statements. As a result of this consolidation, the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility is treated as our indebtedness. Valuation of Portfolio Investments We value our investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures . ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. ASC Topic 820’s definition of fair value focuses on exit price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs within a measurement of fair value. 81 ​ Our portfolio consists primarily of debt investments. These investments are valued at their bid quotations obtained from unaffiliated market makers or other financial institutions that trade in similar investments or based on prices provided by independent third party pricing services. For investments where there are no available bid quotations, fair value is derived using proprietary models that consider the analyses of independent valuation agents as well as credit risk, liquidity, market credit spreads and other applicable factors for similar transactions. Due to the nature of our strategy, our portfolio includes relatively illiquid investments that are privately held. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these investments existed. Our net asset value could be materially affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of our investments were materially higher or lower than the values that we ultimately realize upon the disposal of such investments. Our board of directors is ultimately responsible for determining the fair value of the portfolio investments that are not publicly traded, whose market prices are not readily available on a quarterly basis in good faith or any other situation where portfolio investments require a fair value determination. Our board of directors has retained one or more independent valuation firms to review the valuation of each portfolio investment that does not have a readily available market quotation at least once during each 12-month period. Independent valuation firms retained by our board of directors provide a valuation review on approximately 25% of our investments for which market quotations are not readily available each quarter to ensure that the fair value of each investment for which a market quote is not readily available is reviewed by an independent valuation firm at least once during each 12-month period. However, our board of directors does not intend to have de minimis investments of less than 1.5% of our total assets (up to an aggregate of 10% of our total assets) independently reviewed. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with a portion of our valuations of portfolio companies without market quotations subject to review by one or more independent valuation firms each quarter. When an external event occurs with respect to one of our portfolio companies, such as when a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we expect to use the pricing indicated by such external event to corroborate our valuation. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below: ● Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by investment professionals of our investment adviser responsible for credit monitoring in accordance with our valuation procedures. ● Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our investment committee and our investment adviser. ● The audit committee of our board of directors reviews these preliminary valuations, and on a quarterly basis, reviews the bases of the valuations by our investment adviser and the independent valuation firms. ● At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment is reviewed by an independent valuation firm. ● Our board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith. ​ 82 ​ Fair value of publicly traded instruments is generally based on quoted market prices. Fair value of non-publicly traded instruments, and of publicly traded instruments for which quoted market prices are not readily available, may be determined based on other relevant factors, including without limitation, quotations from unaffiliated market makers or independent third party pricing services, the price activity of equivalent instruments and valuation pricing models. For those investments valued using quotations, the bid price is generally used unless we determine that it is not representative of an exit price. 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. Our 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. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active public markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2: Significant other 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. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Investments for which fair value is determined using inputs defined above as Level 3 are fair valued using the income and market approaches, which may include the discounted cash flow method, reference to performance statistics of industry comparables, relative comparable yield analysis and, in certain cases, third party valuations performed by independent valuation firms. The valuation methods can reference various factors and use various inputs such as assumed growth rates, capitalization rates and discount rates, loan-to-value ratios, liquidation value, relative capital structure priority, market comparables, compliance with applicable loan, covenant and interest coverage performance, book value, market derived multiples, reserve valuation, assessment of credit ratings of an underlying borrower, review of ongoing performance, review of financial projections as compared to actual performance, review of interest rate and yield risk. Such factors may be given different weighting depending on our assessment of the underlying investment, and we may analyze apparently comparable investments in different ways. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. Fair value for each investment is derived using a combination of valuation methodologies that, in the judgment of the investment committee of the investment adviser are most relevant to such investment, including being based on one or more of the following: (i) market prices obtained from market makers for which the investment committee has deemed there to be enough breadth (number of quotes) and depth (firm bids) to be indicative of fair value, (ii) the price paid or realized in a completed transaction or binding offer received in an arm’s-length transaction, (iii) a discounted cash flow analysis, (iv) the guideline public company method, (v) the similar transaction method or (vi) the option pricing method. In addition, on December 3, 2020, the SEC announced that it adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, which establishes an updated regulatory framework for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The 83 ​ new rule clarifies how fund boards can satisfy their valuation obligations in light of recent market developments. The rule will permit boards, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions, to designate certain parties to perform the fair value determinations. We will continue to review the new rule and its impact on our valuation policies. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income and Expense We record our investment transactions on a trade date basis, which is the date when we have determined that all material terms have been defined for the transactions. These transactions could possibly settle on a subsequent date depending on the transaction type. All related revenue and expenses attributable to these transactions are reflected on our consolidated statements of operations commencing on the trade date unless otherwise specified by the transaction documents. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded on the specific identification method. We accrue interest income if we expect that ultimately we will be able to collect it. Generally, when an interest payment default occurs on a loan in our portfolio, or if our management otherwise believes that the issuer of the loan will not be able to service the loan and other obligations, we place the loan on non-accrual status and will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, we remain contractually entitled to this interest. We may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. Accrued interest is written off when it becomes probable that such interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. Any original issue discount, as well as any other market purchase discount or premium on debt investments, are accreted or amortized to interest income or expense, respectively, over the maturity periods of the investments. Dividend income is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Interest expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Certain expenses related to legal and tax consultation, due diligence, rating fees, valuation expenses and independent collateral appraisals may arise when we make certain investments. These expenses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as they are incurred. Loan Origination, Facility, Commitment and Amendment Fees We may receive fees in addition to interest income from the loans during the life of the investment. We may receive origination fees upon the origination of an investment. We defer these origination fees and deduct them from the cost basis of the investment and subsequently accrete them into income over the term of the loan. We may receive facility, commitment and amendment fees, which are paid to us on an ongoing basis. We accrue facility fees, sometimes referred to as asset management fees, as a percentage periodic fee on the base amount (either the funded facility amount or the committed principal amount). Commitment fees are based upon the undrawn portion committed by us and we record them on an accrual basis. Amendment fees are paid in connection with loan amendments and waivers and we account for them upon completion of the amendments or waivers, generally when such fees are receivable. We include any such fees in fee income on the consolidated statements of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, which discusses recent accounting pronouncements applicable to us, if any. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. During the period covered by our financial statements, many of the loans in our portfolio had floating interest rates, and we expect that many of our loans to portfolio companies in the future will also have floating interest rates. These loans are usually based on a floating rate based on LIBOR or SOFR that resets quarterly to the applicable LIBOR or SOFR. Interest rate fluctuations may have a substantial negative impact on our investments, the value of our common stock and our rate of return on invested capital. Since we plan to use debt to finance investments, our net investment income will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. In addition, U.S. and global 84 ​ capital markets have experienced a higher level of stress due to the global COVID-19 pandemic which has resulted in an increase in the level of volatility across such markets and a general decline in value of securities held by us. As a result, we can offer no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. Assuming that the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2022 was to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates (dollars in thousands). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Increase (Decrease) ​ Increase (Decrease) ​ Net Increase Basis Point Increase (Decrease) in Interest Income in Interest Expense (Decrease) (100) ​ $ (4,075) $ (2,387) $ (1,688) 100 ​ 7,377 ​ 2,387 ​ 4,990 200 ​ 14,753 ​ 4,775 ​ 9,978 300 ​ 22,130 ​ 7,162 ​ 14,968 400 ​ 29,506 ​ 9,550 ​ 19,956 500 ​ 36,883 ​ 11,937 ​ 24,946 ​ As of June 30, 2022, nearly all of the performing floating rate investments in our portfolio had interest rate floors. Variable-rate investments subject to a floor generally reset periodically to the applicable floor and, in the case of investments in our portfolio, quarterly to a floor based on LIBOR or SOFR, only if the floor exceeds the index. Under these loans, we do not benefit from increases in interest rates until such rates exceed the floor and thereafter benefit from market rates above any such floor. For a discussion of the risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Structure — Since we are using debt to finance our investments, and we may use additional debt or preferred stock financing going forward, changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital, net investment income, value of our common stock and our rate of return on invested capital” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for changes in the credit markets, the size, credit quality or composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments, including borrowing, that could affect a net increase in net assets resulting from operations or net income. It also does not adjust for the effect of the time-lag between a change in the relevant interest rate index and the rate adjustment under the applicable loan. Accordingly, we can offer no assurances that actual results would not differ materially from the statement above. We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates. We may enter into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies and to economically hedge the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of our investments denominated in foreign currencies. We currently utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts to protect ourselves against fluctuations in exchange rates. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized unrealized gains of $4,000 and zero respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations relating to forward currency exchange contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized an unrealized gain of $1,000 and zero, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations relating to forward currency exchange contracts. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 we recognized realized losses of $8,000 in the consolidated statements of operations relating to forward currency exchange contracts. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 we recognized realized losses of $4,000 in the consolidated statements of operations relating to forward currency exchange contracts. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements. 85 ​ Item 4. Controls and Procedures As of the period covered by this report, we, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on our evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of material information about us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, are based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. There has not been any change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. Part II. Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings Although we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of our operations in the normal course of business or otherwise, each of WhiteHorse Finance, WhiteHorse Advisers and WhiteHorse Administration is currently not a party to any material legal proceeding. Item 1A. Risk Factors In addition to the below risk factor and other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. We intend to continue to finance our investments with borrowed money, which will magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and may increase the risk of investing in us. The use of leverage, including through the issuance of senior securities, magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested. We have incurred leverage in the past and currently incur leverage through credit facilities and issuance of public and private notes. From time to time, we intend to incur additional leverage to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act. The use of leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique and increases the risks associated with investing in our securities. In the future, we may borrow from, and issue senior securities to, banks, insurance companies and other lenders. Holders of these senior securities will have fixed dollar claims on our assets that are superior to the claims of our common stockholders, and we would expect such holders to seek recovery against our assets in the event of a default. ​ 86 ​ WhiteHorse Credit has pledged, and expects to continue to pledge, all or substantially all of its assets. WhiteHorse Credit has granted, and may in the future grant, a security interest in all or a portion of its assets under the Credit Facility. In addition, under the terms of the Credit Facility, we must use the net proceeds of any investments that we sell to repay amounts then due with respect to our debt and certain other amounts owing under the Credit Facility before applying such net proceeds to other uses, such as distributing them to our stockholders. We may pledge up to 100% of our assets and may grant a security interest in all of our assets under the terms of any debt instruments into which we may enter. In addition, under the terms of any credit facility or other debt instrument we enter into, we are likely to be required by its terms to use the net proceeds of any investments that we sell to repay a portion of the amount borrowed under such facility or instrument before applying such net proceeds to any other uses. If the value of our assets decreases, leverage would cause our net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged, thereby magnifying losses or eliminating our equity stake in a leveraged investment. Similarly, any decrease in our revenue or income will cause our net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline would also negatively affect our ability to make distributions on our common stock or preferred stock. Our ability to service our debt will depend largely on our financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures. In addition, our common stockholders will bear the burden of any increase in our expenses as a result of our use of leverage, including interest expenses and any increase in the management fee payable to WhiteHorse Advisers. As a business development company, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings and other senior securities, which include all of our borrowings and any preferred stock that we may issue in the future, of at least 150%, subject to certain disclosure requirements, as is specified in the 1940 Act. If this ratio declines below 150%, we cannot incur additional debt and could be required to sell a portion of our investments to repay some debt when it is disadvantageous to do so. This could have a material adverse effect on our operations, and we may not be able to make distributions to our stockholders. As of June 30, 2022, our total outstanding indebtedness was $428.7 million and our asset coverage was 181.0%. The amount of leverage that we employ will depend on WhiteHorse Advisers’ and our board of directors’ assessment of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our borrowings under our existing indebtedness or to obtain other credit at all or on terms acceptable to us. For information regarding a reduction in the asset coverage ratio applicable to us, see Item 1A. Risk Factors -- “ The SBCAA allows us to incur additional leverage, which may increase the risk of investing with us ” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, the terms governing our existing indebtedness and any indebtedness that we incur in the future could impose financial and operating covenants that restrict our business activities, including limitations that may hinder our ability to finance additional loans and investments or make the distributions required to maintain our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. The instruments governing our existing indebtedness contain terms and conditions for senior unsecured notes issued in a private placement, including minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum asset coverage ratio, maximum debt to equity ratio and prohibitions on certain fundamental changes of the Company or any subsidiary guarantor. These instruments also contain customary events of default with customary cure and notice periods, including, without limitation, nonpayment, incorrect representation in any material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default under other indebtedness of the Company or certain significant subsidiaries, certain judgements and orders, and certain events of bankruptcy. ​ 87 ​ The breach of any of the covenants or restrictions, unless cured within the applicable grace period, would result in a default under the applicable indebtedness arrangement that would permit the lenders thereunder to declare all amounts outstanding to be due and payable. In such an event, we may not have sufficient assets to repay such indebtedness. As a result, any default could have serious consequences to our financial condition. An event of default or an acceleration under these arrangements could also cause a cross-default or cross-acceleration of another debt instrument or contractual obligation, which would adversely impact our liquidity. We may not be granted waivers or amendments to these arrangements if for any reason we are unable to comply with them, and we may not be able to refinance such arrangements on terms acceptable to us, or at all. The reduction of our asset coverage requirement from 200% to 150% increases the amount of debt that we are permitted to incur, such that the Company’s maximum debt to equity ratio increased from a prior maximum of 1.0x (equivalent of $1 of debt outstanding for each $1 equity) to a maximum of 2.0x (equivalent to $2 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity). Increased leverage could amplify the risks associated with investing in the Company. For example, if the value of the Company’s assets decreases, although the asset base and expected revenues would be larger because increased leverage would permit the Company to acquire additional assets, leverage will cause the Company’s net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have without leverage or with lower leverage. Any decrease in the Company’s revenue would cause its net income to decline more sharply, on a relative basis, than it would have if the Company had not borrowed or had borrowed less. The following table illustrates the effect of leverage on returns from an investment in our common stock as of June 30, 2022, assuming that we employ leverage such that our asset coverage equals (1) our actual asset coverage as of June 30, 2022 and (2) 150%, each at various annual returns, net of expenses and as of June 30, 2022. The purpose of this table is to assist investors in understanding the effects of leverage. The calculations in the table below are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing in the table below. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Assumed Return on Our Portfolio (Net of Expenses) ​ -10% -5% 0% 5% 10% Corresponding return to common stockholder assuming actual asset coverage (1) ( 27.2 ) % ( 16.2 ) % ( 5.2 ) % 5.9 % 16.9 % Corresponding return to common stockholder assuming 150% asset coverage (2) ​ (38.2) % (23.3) % (8.5) % 6.4 % 21.2 % (1) Assumes $799.6 million in total assets, $428.7 million in debt outstanding and $347.4 million in net assets as of June 30, 2022, and an average cost of funds of 4.4%, which is our weighted average borrowing cost as of June 30, 2022. (2) Assumes $1,065.7 million in total assets, $694.9 million in debt outstanding and $347.4 million in net assets as of June 30, 2022, and an average cost of funds of 4.2%, which would be our weighted average borrowing cost assuming 150% asset coverage as of June 30, 2022. Based on our outstanding indebtedness of $428.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and an average cost of funds of 4.03%, 6.000%, 5.375%, 5.375%, 4.000%, 5.625% and 4.250%, which were the effective annualized interest rates of the Credit Facility, 6.000% 2023 Notes, 5.375% 2025 Notes, 5.375% 2026 Notes, 4.000% 2026 Notes, 5.625% 2027 Notes and 4.250% 2028 Notes, respectively, as of that date, our investment portfolio must experience an annual return of at least 2.4% to cover annual interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness. Based on our outstanding indebtedness of $694.9 million on an assumed 150% asset coverage ratio and an average cost of funds of 4.03%, 6.000%, 5.375%, 5.375%, 4.000%, 5.625% and 4.250%, which were the effective annualized interest rates of the Credit Facility, 6.000% 2023 Notes, 5.375% 2025 Notes, 5.375% 2026 Notes, 4.000% 2026 Notes, 5.625% 2027 Notes and 4.250% 2028 Notes, respectively, as of that date, our investment portfolio must experience an annual return of at least 2.9% to cover annual interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness.
