Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Advanced Flower Capital Inc. elected to operate as a business development company on January 1, 2026 and adopted investment company accounting, carrying its loan portfolio at fair value under ASC 946. At June 30, 2026, total assets were $399.7 million, including $289.8 million of first-lien senior loans and $106.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. Investments were concentrated in cannabis-related borrowers at 68.5% of fair value, with the balance in insurance, commercial services and leisure products.
For the quarter, net investment income was $3.5 million and total net increase in net assets from operations was $5.4 million, compared with a net loss of $13.2 million a year earlier. For the first half of 2026, net investment income was $8.3 million and net unrealized gains were $8.5 million, producing a $16.8 million increase in net assets. Net asset value was $187.3 million, or $8.25 per share.
Borrowings rose to a $110.0 million drawn revolver, $20.0 million on an unsecured affiliate credit facility, and $76.6 million of senior notes. Loans on nonaccrual status represented 22.7% of debt investments at fair value. The company repurchased $2.8 million of common stock at a significant discount to NAV and declared cash distributions of $0.10 per share year-to-date.
Positive
- Net income turnaround: Q2 2026 net increase in net assets from operations was $5.4 million versus a $13.2 million net loss in Q2 2025, driven by positive net investment income and unrealized gains.
- Strong first-half results: For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the company generated $8.3 million of net investment income and $8.5 million of net unrealized gains, increasing net assets by $16.8 million.
- Robust liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents were $106.5 million at June 30, 2026, providing substantial flexibility relative to total assets of $399.7 million.
- Accretive share repurchases: The company repurchased 839,406 shares for $2.8 million at an average price of $3.29, approximately a 58% discount to NAV per share at the repurchase dates.
Negative
- High nonaccrual exposure: Loans on nonaccrual status totaled $65.9 million fair value, or 22.7% of total debt investments, indicating elevated credit risk in parts of the portfolio.
- Increased leverage: Total liabilities rose to $212.4 million, including $110.0 million drawn on the revolver and a new $20.0 million unsecured affiliate facility, increasing balance sheet leverage.
- Concentrated sector risk: Cannabis-related borrowers accounted for 68.5% of investments at fair value, leaving results sensitive to regulatory and industry conditions disclosed for that sector.

Key Terms

6 terms
business development company regulatory
"elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940"
A business development company is a publicly traded investment vehicle that lends to and buys stakes in smaller or privately held companies, acting like a combination of a lender, investor, and business partner. It matters to investors because BDCs offer the potential for higher regular income through dividends and diversified exposure to growing businesses, but they can also carry greater credit and liquidity risk than typical stocks or bonds—think higher-yielding but riskier income instruments.
ASC 946 financial
"follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in ASC 946"
Secured Overnight Financing Rate financial
"floating benchmark rates included one-month (“M”) and three-month (“Q”) Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)"
A secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) is a daily benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Think of it as the market price to “rent” cash for a day with a very safe pledge, similar to paying a short-term rental fee for money backed by government bonds. Investors track SOFR because it underpins pricing for loans, bonds and derivatives, so movements change borrowing costs, interest income and the valuation of interest-rate–linked positions.
payment-in-kind interest financial
"Payment-in-kind interest income | 783,060 | 1,115,700"
Payment-in-kind interest is interest that a borrower pays not with cash but by increasing the loan balance or issuing additional securities, like receiving more IOUs instead of money. For investors this matters because it reduces immediate cash receipts, can dilute ownership or increase a company’s debt load over time, and signals how comfortably a borrower can meet cash obligations — all factors that affect valuation and credit risk.
nonaccrual status financial
"the Company placed the investment on nonaccrual status. The maturity date passed without repayment."
Nonaccrual status is when a lender stops recording interest income on a loan because payments are late or the borrower’s ability to pay is in serious doubt. For investors this is a red flag: it signals deteriorating loan quality, can reduce reported earnings and may require the lender to set aside more reserves, much like marking a damaged product off the books until its value is clear.
Level 3 inputs financial
"summarize the significant unobservable inputs the Company used to value the loans categorized within Level 3"
Level 3 inputs are the assumptions and estimates a company uses to value assets or liabilities when there is no observable market price, so the valuation relies heavily on internal models and judgment. For investors this matters because these valuations are less verifiable and more subject to error or bias—like estimating the value of a unique vintage car versus checking a price list—and can materially affect reported earnings and balance-sheet strength.

ADVANCED FLOWER CAPITAL INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of June 30, 2026
(unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Advanced Flower Capital Inc. (the “Company” or “AFC”) is a Maryland corporation and an institutional lender that originates, structures, underwrites, and manages senior secured loans and other debt investments. The Company is externally managed by AFC Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”).
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As a BDC, the Company is now subject to the regulatory framework applicable to BDCs under the 1940 Act, including requirements relating to portfolio composition, asset coverage, affiliate transactions, governance, and compliance.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company intends to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2026.
The Company’s primary investment focus is on senior secured lending to lower middle market companies across industries. Prior to its election to be regulated as a BDC, the Company primarily focused on senior secured lending, including loans to cannabis industry operators in states that have legalized medical and/or adult-use cannabis. In August 2025, the Company expanded its investment strategy to include senior secured lending to companies ancillary to the cannabis industry, as well as to companies outside of the cannabis industry. These investments are generally held for investment and are typically secured, directly or indirectly, by real estate, equipment, cash flows, licenses (where applicable), and other borrower assets, depending on applicable laws and regulations governing such borrowers.
The Company operates in one operating segment. The Company’s objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns over time through cash distributions and capital appreciation, primarily by sourcing, underwriting, structuring and funding loans to lower middle market companies across a broad range of industries.
The Company has formed wholly-owned subsidiaries, AFCG TRS1, LLC and TCGDL LLC, to facilitate certain investment and operational activities. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which were prepared when the Company operated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and prior to its election to be regulated as a BDC (“pre-Conversion”).
Refer to Note 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 for a description of the Company’s significant accounting policies. The Company has included disclosures below regarding basis of presentation and other accounting policies that (i) are required to be disclosed quarterly, (ii) have material changes or (iii) the Company views as critical as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), and Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
13
Index
As of January 1, 2026, the Company is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in ASC 946 and SEC Regulation S-X.
As the Company is an investment company, portfolio investments held by the Company and its subsidiaries are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements. The portfolio investments held by the Company and its subsidiaries are included on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as investments at fair value.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and adopted investment company accounting. As a result, the Company adopted ASC 946 from its prior accounting as a REIT to investment company accounting, which requires, among other things, that investments be carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Due to the prospective application of a change in accounting as required under ASC 946-10-25-3, the Company has determined that the presentation of its consolidated financial statements for periods beginning after December 31, 2025 are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements previously prepared for prior periods for which the Company did not apply ASC 946. As a result, the Company has provided separate consolidated financial statements for applicable prior periods in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Reclassifications and Presentation
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company prospectively adopted ASC 946. Upon its change in status, the following significant changes and elections were made:
•Loans previously held for investment at carrying value with related current expected credit loss reserves are now measured at fair value under ASC 946. The opening balance sheet adjustment was $207,488,812 . There was no impact to opening accumulated earnings related to this change;
•Inclusion of consolidated schedule of investments; and
•Change in presentation of consolidated statement of cash flows to align with investment company activities.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company’s results of operations for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may ultimately be realized for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
The Adviser shall value the investments owned by the Company, subject at all times to the oversight of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”). The Adviser shall follow its own written valuation policies and procedures as approved by the Board when determining valuations.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designates the Adviser as “valuation designee” to perform fair value determinations for the Company for investments that do not have readily available market quotations. Market quotations are obtained from an independent pricing service, where available. If a price cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service or if the independent pricing service is not deemed to be current with the market, certain investments held by the Company will be valued on the basis of prices provided by principal market makers. Generally, investments marked in this manner will be marked at the mean of the bid and ask of the independent broker quotes obtained. To validate market quotations, the Company utilizes a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available will be valued at a price that reflects such security’s fair value.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, in particular, illiquid/hard to value assets, the Adviser will typically undertake a multi-step valuation process. The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with US GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company determines the fair value of investments consistent with its valuation policy. The Company discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy which prioritizes and ranks the level of market observability used in the determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:
14
Index
•Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuations of Level 2 investments are generally based on quotations received from pricing services, dealers or brokers. Consideration is given to the source and nature of the quotations and the relationship of recent market activity to the quotations provided.
Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfers occur. The Company evaluates the source of inputs used in the determination of fair value, including any markets in which the investments, or similar investments, are trading. When the fair value of an investment is determined using inputs from a pricing service (or principal market makers), the Company considers various criteria in determining whether the investment should be classified as a Level 2 or Level 3 investment. Criteria considered includes the pricing methodologies of the pricing services (or principal market makers) to determine if the inputs to the valuation are observable or unobservable, as well as the number of prices obtained and an assessment of the quality of the prices obtained. The level of an investment within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment.
The fair value assigned to these investments is based upon available information and may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, it does not necessarily represent the amount that might ultimately be realized upon sale. Due to inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated fair value of investments may differ from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the security existed, and the difference could be material.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of loans held for investment at fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”), which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Advisory Agreement
Effective January 1, 2026, in connection with the Company’s conversion to a BDC (the “Conversion”), the Company entered into an Advisory Agreement with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser serves as the Company’s investment adviser. As of such date, the Advisory Agreement replaced the prior management agreement between the Company and AFC Management, LLC, as amended (the “Management Agreement”) (in such capacity under the Management Agreement, the “Manager”), which ceased to govern our operations as of that date, and we became managed pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) entered into with AFC Management, LLC (in its capacity as administrator under the Administration Agreement, the “Administrator”).
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investment activities and day-to-day operations of the Company, subject to the oversight of the Board and in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The Advisory
15
Index
Agreement was approved by our Board of Directors, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Directors”), and by our shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders held on November 6, 2025. The Advisory Agreement remains subject to the terms, conditions, and termination provisions set forth therein and to applicable requirements under the 1940 Act.
Adviser Compensation subsequent to January 1, 2026
The following compensation arrangements under the Advisory Agreement took effect on January 1, 2026.
The Adviser receives base management fees (the “Management Fee”) that are calculated at a quarterly rate of 0.375 % of the average value of our average of gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters (excluding cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) during the most recently completed calendar quarter; less 50 % of the aggregate amount of any other fees (“Outside Fees”), including any agency fees relating to our investments, but excluding the incentive fees payable to the Adviser (as defined below) and any diligence fees paid and earned by the Adviser and paid by third parties in connection with the Adviser’s due diligence of potential investments; provided further, that the Management Fee will be calculated at an annual rate equal to 1.00 % of the average value of our gross assets (excluding cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) during the most recently completed calendar quarter that exceeds an amount equal to the product of (i) 200 % and (ii) our net asset value at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter.
In addition to the Management Fee, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company will pay the Adviser an incentive fee consisting of two parts (the “Incentive Fees”). The first part is determined and paid quarterly based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in respect of the current calendar quarter and the three preceding calendar quarters (or the appropriate portion thereof in the case of any of the Company’s first three calendar quarters following the effective date of the Advisory Agreement (the “Trailing Four Quarters”), and the second part is determined and payable in arrears based on net capital gains as of the end of each calendar year or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement.
(i) Income based incentive fee
Pre-incentive fee net investment income is defined as interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter, including the Management Fee, expenses payable to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement, any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fees. Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as debt instruments with payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. The Adviser is not obligated to return to the Company the Incentive Fee it receives on PIK interest that is later determined to be uncollectible in cash. For the avoidance of doubt, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
Pre-incentive fee net investment income will be compared to a new hurdle rate (the “New Hurdle Rate”) equal to the product of (i) 1.5 % per quarter (6.0 % annualized) and (ii) the sum of the Company’s net assets at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Four Quarters. The New Hurdle Rate will be calculated after making appropriate adjustments to our net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter for all issuances by us of shares of common stock, including issuances pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan, and distributions during the applicable calendar quarter. The Company will pay the Adviser an incentive fee based on income with respect to its pre-incentive fee net investment income as follows:
•no incentive fee based on pre-incentive fee net investment income in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s aggregate pre-incentive fee net investment income in respect of the relevant Trailing Four Quarters does not exceed the New Hurdle Rate in respect of the relevant Trailing Four Quarters;
•100 % of pre-incentive fee net investment income in respect that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the New Hurdle Rate but is less than 1.8182 % in any calendar quarter (7.2728 % annualized). The Company refers to this portion of the pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the New Hurdle Rate but is less than 1.8182 %) as the catch-up (the “New Catch-Up”). The New Catch-Up is meant to provide the Adviser with approximately 17.5 % of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.8182 % in any calendar quarter; and
16
Index
•17.5 % of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in respect of the relevant Trailing Four Quarters that exceeds 1.8182 % in respect of the relevant Trailing Four Quarters (7.2728 % annualized), which reflects that once the New Hurdle Rate is reached and the New Catch-Up is achieved, 17.5 % of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in respect of the relevant Trailing Four Quarters that exceeds the New Catch-Up amounts is paid to the Adviser.
These calculations are adjusted for all issuances by the Company of shares of its common stock, including issuances pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan and distributions during the applicable calendar quarter.
There was $0.7 million and $1.8 million of Incentive Fees on net investment income, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
(ii) Capital gains incentive fee
The incentive fee on capital gains is calculated and payable in arrears in cash as of the end of each calendar year or upon the termination of the Advisory Agreement in an amount equal to 17.5 % of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from January 1, 2026 (the date on which the Company elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act) through the end of a given calendar year or upon the termination of the Advisory Agreement, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. For the purpose of computing the incentive fee on capital gains, the calculation methodology looks through derivative financial instruments or swaps as if the Company owned the reference assets directly. Therefore, realized gains and realized losses on the disposition of any reference assets, as well as unrealized depreciation on reference assets retained in the derivative financial instrument or swap, will be included on a cumulative basis in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee. With respect to investments the Company held at the time of the Conversion, such investments, for purposes of calculating the capital gains incentive fee, shall have a cost basis equal to the fair market value as of the date of the Conversion.
See “Part 1, Item 1—Business—Adviser Compensation subsequent to January 1, 2026” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 for more information.
For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there was no
Manager Compensation prior to January 1, 2026
The Manager received base management fees (the “Base Management Fee”) that were calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.375 % of the Company’s Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement), subject to certain adjustments, less 50 % of the aggregate amount of any Outside Fees, including any agency fees relating to our loans, but excluding the Incentive Compensation (as defined below) and any diligence fees paid to and earned by the Manager and paid by third parties in connection with the Manager’s due diligence of potential loans.
In addition to the Base Management Fee, the Manager was entitled to receive incentive compensation (the “Incentive Compensation”) under the Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement, the Company paid Incentive Fees to the Manager based upon the Company’s achievement of targeted levels of Core Earnings. “Core Earnings” is defined in the Management Agreement as, for a given period, the net income (loss) for such period, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) the Incentive Compensation, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items that were included in net income for the applicable reporting period, regardless of whether such items were included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income and (v) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash charges, in each case after discussions between the Manager and the Independent Directors and approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. See “Part 1, Item 1—Business—Management Compensation prior to January 1, 2026” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 for more information.
There was no
Administration Agreement
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or oversees or arranges for the performance of, the Company’s required administrative services, which include, among other things, providing us with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, and recordkeeping services. In addition, the Administrator conducts relations with custodians, depositories, transfer agents, dividend disbursing agents, other shareholder servicing agents,
17
Index
accountants, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurers, banks, and other persons in any other capacity deemed by the Administrator to be necessary and desirable. The Administrator will be responsible for the financial and other records that we are required to maintain, and under the 1940 Act, will prepare, print and disseminate reports to shareholders and reports and other materials filed with the SEC. Further, the Administrator is responsible for assisting the Company in determining and publishing the Company’s net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns, and generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others.
No separate fee is paid by the Company for the services provided by the Administrator under the Administration Agreement, so long as the Adviser (or an affiliate) continues to serve as the investment adviser to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will reimburse the Administrator an amount equal to the Company’s allocable portion of certain expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including the Company’s fair and equitable allocable share of the compensation, including annual base salary, bonus, any related withholding taxes and employee benefits, paid to personnel providing finance, tax, accounting, internal audit, legal, risk management, operations, originations, marketing, investor relations, portfolio monitoring and servicing, compliance services and other non-investment personnel of the Adviser and its affiliates as reasonably determined by the Adviser to appropriately reflect the portion of time spent devoted by such personnel to the Company’s affairs, as well as the actual cost of goods and services used for the Company and obtained by the Administrator from entities not affiliated with the Company. The Company will also reimburse the Administrator for the reasonably allocated actual costs of administrative services performed by Administrator for the operation of the Company.
The Administration Agreement has an initial term expiring on December 31, 2027 unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. Thereafter, the Administration Agreement will renew automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (a) the vote of the Board or the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (b) the vote of a majority of the Independent Directors.

5. FAIR VALUE
Loans Held for Investment
The Company’s loans are typically valued using a yield analysis, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired loans to borrowers where the Company does not own a controlling equity position. Alternative valuation methodologies may be used as appropriate, and can include a market analysis, income analysis, or recovery analysis. To determine fair value using a yield analysis, a current price is imputed for the loan based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured loan with a similar level of risk. In the yield analysis, the Company considers the current contractual interest rate, the maturity and other terms of the loan relative to risk of the company and the specific loan. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the loan relative to the enterprise value of the borrower. As loans held by the Company are substantially illiquid with no active loan market, the Company depends on primary market data, including newly funded loans, as well as secondary market data with respect to high-yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.

The following tables summarize the significant unobservable inputs the Company used to value the loans categorized within Level 3 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The tables are not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead capture the significant unobservable inputs relevant to the Company’s determination of fair values.

(1)Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the investments.
Changes in market yields, revenue multiples, and recovery rates may change the fair value of certain of the Company’s loans. Generally, an increase in market yields may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain of the Company’s loans, while a decrease in revenue multiples and recovery rates may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain of the Company’s loans.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of loans that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s loans may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s loans may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such loans and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such loans are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a loan in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.
In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the loans may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these loans to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
GAAP requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized at fair value in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Cash and cash equivalents have a carrying value which approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company categorizes the fair value measurement of these assets as Level 1. The Company’s loans held for investment are measured using unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s 2027 Senior Notes is estimated using a market bid technique based on observable inputs of the last available bid price in the market at the end of the period, or Level 2 inputs.

The Revolving
23
Index
Credit Facility’s initial maturity date of April 29, 2025 was extended to April 29, 2028 under Amendment Number Four to the Revolving Credit Agreement, as described further below.
As amended, the Revolving Credit Facility contains aggregate commitments of $80.0 million ($110.0 million solely during the 2026 temporary increase period (defined below) from a FDIC-insured banking institution (which may be increased up to $100.0 million in aggregate, subject to available borrowing base and additional commitments) which may be borrowed, repaid and redrawn, subject to a borrowing base based on eligible loan obligations held by the Company and subject to the satisfaction of other conditions provided under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Interest is payable on the Revolving Credit Facility at the greater of (1) the applicable base rate plus 0.50 % and (2) 7.00 %, as provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, payable in cash in arrears. In connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement and related amendments, the Company incurred certain closing costs of approximately $0.2 million, which were included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and amortized over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is required to pay certain fees to the agent and the lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement, including a $75.0 thousand agent fee payable to the agent and a 0.25 % per annum loan fee payable ratably to the lenders, in each case, payable on the closing date and on the annual anniversary thereafter. Commencing on the six-month anniversary of the closing date, the Revolving Credit Facility has an unused line fee of 0.25 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, which is included within interest expense in the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated statement of operations. Based on the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the unused line fee is waived if our average revolver usage exceeds the minimum amount required per the Revolving Credit Agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred an unused line fee of approximately $33.5 thousand and $52.9 thousand, respectively.
The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial and other covenants, including: (1) liquidity of at least $5.0 million, (2) annual debt service coverage of at least 1.5 to 1.0 and (3) secured debt not to exceed 25 % of total consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. To the best of our knowledge, as of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance in all material respects with all covenants contained in our Revolving Credit Agreement.
In January 2026, the Company entered into Amendment Number Six to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Amendment Number Six”), by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and the lead arranger, bookrunner and administrative party thereto. Amendment Number Six, among other things, includes provisions relevant in light of the Company’s conversion from a REIT to a BDC.
In March 2026, the Company entered into Amendment Number Seven to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Amendment Number Seven”), by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and the lead arranger, bookrunner and administrative agent party thereto. Amendment Number Seven, among other things, added TCGDL LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, as a borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility and amended certain provisions related to the inclusion of TCGDL LLC as a Borrower.
In March 2026, the Company entered into Amendment Number Eight to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Amendment Number Eight”), by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and the lead arranger, bookrunner and administrative party thereto. Amendment Number Eight, among other things, increased the commitment from the lenders by $56.0 million, from $50.0 million to $106.0 million, consisting of (i) a $30.0 million permanent increase in revolver commitments and (ii) a $26.0 million increase in revolver commitments during a specified temporary increase period beginning on March 27, 2026 and ending on April 10, 2026 (the “Amendment Number Eight Temporary Increase Period”). Upon expiration of the Amendment Number Eight Temporary Increase Period, the aggregate revolving commitments and the maximum revolver amount under the facility was automatically reduced to $80.0 million.
In June 2026, the Company entered into Amendment Number Nine to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Amendment Number Nine”), by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and the lead arranger, bookrunner and administrative party thereto. Amendment Number Nine, among other things, conformed certain reporting information to market standard for BDCs, set certain conditions for including specific credit facilities in the borrower base, and increased the aggregate revolver commitments under the facility to $110.0 million, consisting of a $30.0 million temporary increase in revolver commitments during a specified temporary increase period beginning on June 26, 2026 and ending on July 3, 2026 (the “Amendment Number Nine Temporary Increase Period”). Upon expiration of the Amendment Number Nine Temporary Increase Period, the aggregate revolving commitments and the maximum revolver amount under the facility will automatically be reduced to $80.0 million.

2027 Senior Notes
On November 3, 2021, the Company issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due in May 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes”). The 2027 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.75 % per annum. Interest on the 2027 Senior Notes is due semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, which began on May 1, 2022. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $97.0 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering fees and expenses payable by the Company. The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Senior Notes (i) to fund loans related to unfunded commitments to existing borrowers, (ii) to originate and participate in commercial loans to companies operating in the cannabis industry that are consistent with the Company’s investment strategy and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The terms of the 2027 Senior Notes are governed by an indenture, dated November 3, 2021, among us, as issuer, and TMI Trust Company, as trustee (the “Indenture”).
Under the Indenture, the Company is required to cause all of its existing and future subsidiaries to guarantee the 2027 Senior Notes, other than certain immaterial subsidiaries as set forth in the Indenture. TRS1 is currently a subsidiary guarantor under the Indenture.
Prior to February 1, 2027, the Company may redeem the 2027 Senior Notes in whole or in part, at a price equal to the greater of 100 % of the principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes being redeemed or a make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. On or after February 1, 2027, we may redeem the 2027 Senior Notes in whole or in part at a price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.

The Company from time to time may be a party to litigation or other legal proceedings relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Refer to Part II. Item 1 – Legal Proceedings for information regarding certain material developments in pending litigation during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Company is required to establish reserves for litigation matters where those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. When loss contingencies are not both probable and estimable, we do not establish reserves. Because each of these actions are in their early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible outcomes resulting from these legal actions can be made at this time.
Historically, the Company provided loans to companies operating in the cannabis industry which involved significant risks, including the risk of strict enforcement against the Company’s borrowers on the federal illegality of cannabis, the Company’s borrowers’ inability to renew or otherwise maintain their licenses or other requisite authorizations for their cannabis operations, and such loans lack of liquidity, and the Company could lose all or part of any of the Company’s loans.
The Company’s ability to grow or maintain its business with respect to the loans it makes to companies operating in the cannabis industry depends on state laws pertaining to the cannabis industry. New laws that are adverse to the Company’s borrowers may be enacted, and current favorable state or national laws or enforcement guidelines relating to cultivation, production and distribution of cannabis may be modified or eliminated in the future, which would impede the Company’s ability to grow and could materially adversely affect the Company’s business.
Management’s plan to mitigate risks include monitoring the legal landscape as deemed appropriate. Also, should a loan default or otherwise be seized, the Company may be prohibited from owning cannabis assets and thus could not take possession of collateral, in which case the Company would look to sell the loan, which could result in the Company realizing a loss on the transaction.

Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2020 Plan included officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, Directors, employees of the Adviser and certain directors, consultants and other service providers to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Because externally managed BDCs are not permitted under the 1940 Act to issue or have outstanding restricted stock or stock options, the Company’s Board, in advance of the Conversion, approved the accelerated vesting of its outstanding restricted stock and cancelled its outstanding stock options. The Company accounted for this modification as a Type I modification (probable to probable).
Prior to the Conversion, a cumulative 1,646,127 shares of common stock had been granted under the 2020 Plan, comprising 900 options and 1,645,227 shares of restricted stock. Following the Conversion, no awards remained outstanding and there was no stock-based compensation activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
The Company did not grant any options and no options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2025, was approximately $1.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, 271,497 shares of restricted stock were granted with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $8.37 per share, and 127,944 shares of restricted stock vested with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $8.68 per share.

11. INCOME TAX
A TRS is an entity taxed as a corporation that has not elected to be taxed as a REIT, in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds equity, and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a TRS. A TRS generally may engage in any business, including investing in assets and engaging in activities that could not be held or conducted directly by the Company without jeopardizing its qualification as a REIT. TRS1 was subject to applicable United States federal, state and local income tax on its taxable income. In addition, while the Company was a REIT, it was subject to a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between it and TRS1 that were not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. The income tax provision is included in the line item income tax expense, including excise tax.
Effective January 1, 2026, in connection with the Conversion to a BDC, the Company became subject to the 1940 Act and ceased to rely on the exclusion from the definition of an “investment company” in Section 3(c)(5) of the 1940 Act. Beginning with taxable year ending December 31, 2026, the Company intends to elect to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company generally must distribute 90% of investment company taxable income each taxable year and meet certain source-of-income, asset diversification, and other requirements.
The current income tax (benefit) provision for the Company was approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $(0.2 ) million and $(0.02 ) million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The income tax benefit/expense for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 primarily related to activities of the Company’s TRS1 subsidiary.

The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits and the Company does not expect that to change in the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2026, tax years 2022-2025 remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.
The federal statutory rate was 21% for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The primary difference between the Company’s statutory rate and effective tax rate is largely determined by the amount of income subject to tax by TRS1. TRS1 is a corporate subsidiary that was formerly treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary prior to the Conversion. Following the Conversion, TRS1 is a taxable corporation. The Company expects that its future effective tax rate will be determined in a similar manner.

estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned. The expense is calculated in accordance with applicable tax regulations.
Deferred Tax
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s deferred tax assets were $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the Company’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized in the future. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s generation of sufficient taxable income in future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions to benefit from the reversal of temporary differences. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods if estimates of future taxable income change.
The Company recorded deferred tax assets related to temporary differences related to the change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments held in TRS1. There were no
12. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. The Company generates revenue from loans to senior secured loans and other types of loans and debt securities to public and privately held lower-middle-market companies across a broad range of industries, including state law-compliant cannabis operators and ancillary cannabis companies. Businesses ancillary to the cannabis industry may include, but are not limited to, brand developers, business services providers, and equipment and consumables providers. These investments typically have maturities ranging from two to five years and may accrue interest at either fixed or floating rates. The accounting policies of the direct lending segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
The presentation of financial results as one reportable segment is consistent with the way the Company operates its business and is consistent with the manner in which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates performance and makes resource and operating decisions for the business. The Company has no operations outside of the United States. The Company’s portfolio exhibits similar economic characteristics, similar yields and is operated using consistent business strategies. The Company operates as one operating segment and has one reportable operating segment for activities related to direct lending.
The CODM assesses performance and evaluates the allocation of resources of the Company on a consolidated basis, based on the Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations, which is reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The CODM is regularly provided with only the consolidated expenses, as noted on the consolidated statement of operations. Significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as total assets.
The CODM uses net investment income to evaluate income generated from segment assets and in deciding the amount of distributions, as well as using net investment income as a basis for evaluating lender terms for loans with public and privately held lower-middle-market companies, including state law-compliant cannabis operators and ancillary cannabis companies.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, interest income earned on the Company’s portfolio was concentrated with five and four borrowers, respectively, each comprising more than 10% of consolidated interest income for an aggregate amount of $6.6 million, or 76 %, and $10.3 million, or 56 %, of consolidated interest income, respectively.

14. CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
As of June 30, 2026, the Company did not have a CECL Reserve, as all investments are held at fair value.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s CECL Reserve for its loans held at carrying value was approximately $46.1 million, or 18.19 % of the Company’s total loans held at carrying value of approximately $253.6 million, and is bifurcated between the current expected credit loss reserve (contra-asset) related to outstanding balances on loans held at carrying value and loan receivable held at carrying value of approximately $46.1 million and a liability for unfunded commitments

of approximately $0.1 million, respectively. The liability was based on the unfunded portion of the loan commitment over the full contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk through a current obligation to extend credit. Management considered the likelihood that funding will occur and, if funded, the expected credit loss on the funded portion when determining the amount to allocate to its CECL Reserve.
15. LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT AT CARRYING VALUE
As of June 30, 2026, the Company did not hold any loans at carrying value.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s portfolio included 12 loans held at carrying value. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate commitment under these loans was $283.5 million and outstanding principal was $259.6 million. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 46 % of the Company’s loans held at carrying value had floating interest rates.

Overview
Effective January 1, 2026, we are an externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Advanced Flower Capital Inc. is an institutional lender that was founded in July 2020 by a
38
Index
veteran team of investment professionals. We are a Maryland corporation and externally managed by AFC Management, LLC (in its capacity as investment adviser, the “Adviser”) pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), and we entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with AFC Management, LLC (in its capacity as administrator, the “Administrator”). We commenced operations on July 31, 2020 and completed our initial public offering in March 2021.
The Advisory Agreement reflects an expanded investment mandate approved by our Board, including the ability to invest in a broader range of debt and other investments than was permitted under our prior REIT structure. While we continue to pursue lending opportunities within the cannabis industry, such investments are no longer our primary focus and are evaluated alongside opportunities in other industries, including private publicly held middle-market companies and businesses ancillary to the cannabis industry, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act as applicable to BDCs.
We primarily originate, structure, underwrite, invest in and manage senior secured loans and other types of loans and debt securities to companies ancillary to the cannabis industry as well as companies outside of the cannabis industry. Businesses ancillary to the cannabis industry may include, but are not limited to, brand developers, business services providers, and equipment and consumables providers.
Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns over time through cash distributions and capital appreciation, primarily by sourcing, underwriting, structuring and funding loans to lower middle market companies across a broad range of industries.
AFCG TRS1, LLC (“TRS1”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, began operating in July 2021 and was formerly treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”) prior to the Conversion. TCGDL LLC (“TCGDL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, began operating in January 2026. The financial statements of TRS1 and TCGDL are consolidated within our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2026, the Company completed a strategic transition from operating as a REIT to operating as a BDC. As a result of this election, the Company is now subject to the regulatory framework applicable to BDCs, including requirements relating to portfolio composition, asset coverage, affiliate transactions, governance, and compliance. The Company was not regulated as a BDC during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Beginning with its taxable year ending December 31, 2026, we intend to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Prior to the Conversion, we elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2020 and ending with our taxable year ended December 31, 2025. During that period, we also operated our business in a manner that permitted us to rely on an exemption from registration under the 1940 Act.
Key Components of Results of Operations
Investments
Our primary investment focus is senior secured lending to lower middle market companies across industries.
Our level of investment activity (both the number of investments and the size of each investment) can and will vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to lower middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment, trading prices of loans and other securities and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.
As a BDC, we may not invest in any assets other than "qualifying assets" specified in the 1940 Act, unless, at the time the investments are made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in "eligible portfolio companies." Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, "eligible portfolio companies" include certain companies that do not have any securities listed on a national securities exchange and public companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million.
39
Index
Revenues
We expect to generate revenues in the form of interest income from the debt securities we hold and dividends. We expect to receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we may receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. In some cases, our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of loans and any accrued but unpaid interest generally become due at the maturity date.
In addition, we expect to generate revenue from various fees in the ordinary course of business such as in the form of commitment, loan origination, structuring, consent, waiver, amendment, syndication and other miscellaneous fees as well as fees for providing managerial assistance to our portfolio companies.

Portfolio Asset Quality
As part of the monitoring process, our Adviser, in its capacity as “valuation designee” under, and in accordance with, Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, also employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Audit and Committee grades the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 5 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (e.g., at the time of origination or acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company’s business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. The grading system for our investments is as follows:
| Investment Grade | Definition | ||||
| 1 | Very Low Risk — The portfolio investment exceeds performance metrics included in original underwriting expectations. | ||||
| 2 | Low Risk — The portfolio investment is performing consistent with expectations. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable. | ||||
| 3 | Medium Risk — The portfolio investment is performing as expected at the time of underwriting, but requires closer monitoring due to industry or borrower trends and risk factors. | ||||
| 4 | High Risk/ Potential for Loss — The portfolio investment is operating below our underwriting expectations and requires closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors are negative. Returns on our investment may soon be impaired, absent material improvement. Risk of recovery of interest exists. | ||||
| 5 | Impaired/ Loss Likely — The portfolio investment is underperforming with expected loss of interest, and full recovery of principal is uncertain. | ||||
The risk ratings are primarily based on historical data as well as taking into account future economic conditions.

Investment income. Investment income increased approximately $0.6 million, or 8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Investment income increased period over period due to an increase in the outstanding principal balance of accruing investments of approximately $15.7 million, comparing June 30, 2026 to June 30, 2025. The weighted average yield increased by 0.4% for the same period, based on outstanding principal, excluding loans on nonaccrual.
Investment income. Investment income increased approximately $2.0 million, or 12%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change period over period is primarily due to an increase in other income of approximately $1.7 million, driven by fees recognized associated with the loan exits of Bloom Hold Co. and Gron Holdings, Inc.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased approximately $0.1 million, or 3.4%, and decreased $0.03 million, or 0.7%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. During the three and six months ended, June 30, 2026 average borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility increased $14.0 million each comparative period, offset by a lower weighted average interest rate on borrowings of (0.75)% due to a lower benchmark rate. This is partially offset by lower interest incurred on the 2027 Senior Notes due to a weighted average decrease in the 2027 Senior Notes principal outstanding of $13.0 million relating to the repurchase of $13.0 million of our 2027 Senior Notes in the prior year.
Management fees. Management fees increased approximately $0.1 million, or 14.6%, and $0.2 million, or 8.8%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Following the Conversion, the compensation arrangement under the Advisory Agreement took effect as of January 1, 2026. Under the Advisory Agreement, management fees are calculated based on the average value of our gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, excluding cash, versus prior to the Conversion, the management fee was calculated off the Company’s Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement).
Incentive fee on net investment income. Following the Conversion, the income-based incentive fee under the Advisory Agreement took effect as of January 1, 2026. Incentive fees increased approximately $0.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. There was no incentive fee incurred during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million, or 20.3%, and $0.3 million, or 19%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation decreased $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Because externally managed BDCs are not permitted under the 1940 Act to issue or have outstanding restricted stock or stock options, the Board, in advance of the Conversion, approved the accelerated vesting of its outstanding restricted stock and cancelled its outstanding stock options. Following the Conversion, there was no stock-based compensation activity.
Professional fees. Professional fees increased approximately $0.1 million, or 20%, and $0.2 million, or 36.5%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax expense on net investment income increased $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The provision for taxes on unrealized appreciation on investments decreased $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, driven by an increase in temporary differences relating to the net change in unrealized appreciation on investments.

Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Investments in loans held at fair value are recorded on the trade date at cost, which reflects the amount of principal funded net of any original issue discounts. An unrealized appreciation arises when the fair value of the investment exceeds its cost and an unrealized depreciation arises when the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. The net change in unrealized appreciation on investments of approximately $3.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, was driven by the net change in the valuation of the loans, which was impacted by changes in recovery rates, market yields, and revenue multiples, as well as the number of investments in our portfolio held at fair value. In the prior period, only one loan was held at fair value, compared to 17 loans held at fair value in the current period, as a result of our Conversion to a BDC on January 1, 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make distributions to our shareholders and meet other general business needs. We use significant cash to purchase our target investments, repay principal and interest on our borrowings, make distributions to our shareholders and fund our operations. The sources of financing for our target investments are described below.
Our primary sources of cash generally consist of unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, TCGSL Credit Facility, net proceeds of future debt or equity offerings, payments of principal and interest we receive on our portfolio of assets and cash generated from our operating results.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all of our cash was unrestricted and totaled approximately $106.5 million and $38.6 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026, we believe that our cash on hand, capacity available under the Revolving Credit Facility, TCGSL Credit Facility, and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy the operating requirements of our business through at least the next twelve months.
From time to time, we review opportunities to proactively manage our balance sheet by evaluating transactions that may potentially improve our overall debt profile. We are currently exploring opportunities to refinance our outstanding debt which, depending on market conditions, may occur in the near term. Our ability to refinance any of our debt will depend on market conditions and there can be no assurance as to when any such financing transactions will occur, if at all, or the terms of any such financing.
Leverage
In accordance with applicable SEC staff guidance and interpretations, effective as of January 1, 2026, we, as a BDC, are permitted to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage ratio is at least 150% after such borrowing (if certain requirements are met). The amount of leverage that we may employ depends on our Adviser’s and our Board’s assessment of market conditions and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had an aggregate amount of $207.0 million and $98.0 million, respectively, of principal debt outstanding and our asset coverage ratio was 190% and 278%, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program
On May 4, 2026, our Board authorized a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $5.0 million of our common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). Under the Repurchase Program, we may, but are not obligated to, repurchase our outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time, provided that we comply with the prohibitions under our compliance policies and procedures adopted in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and a code of ethics adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act. and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including certain price, market, volume, and timing constraints. In addition, any repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the 1940 Act. Unless amended or extended by our Board, we expect the Repurchase Program to be in place until the earlier of such time that $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased, or May 4, 2027.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 839,406 shares of our common stock under the Repurchase Program, totaling $2.8 million, including commissions, at a weighted average net price of $3.29 per share.

(1)Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to borrowing base and other restrictions.
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 29, 2022, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility, which contained initial aggregate commitments of $60.0 million from two FDIC-insured banking institutions, (which may be increased to up to $100.0 million in aggregate, subject to available borrowing base and additional commitments) which may be borrowed, repaid and redrawn, subject to a borrowing base based on eligible loan obligations held by us and subject to the satisfaction of other conditions provided under the Revolving Credit Agreement. As amended, the Revolving Credit Facility’s initial maturity date of April 29, 2025 was extended to April 29, 2028.
As amended, the Revolving Credit Facility contains aggregate commitments of $80.0 million ($110.0 million solely during the 2026 temporary increase period (defined below)) from a FDIC-insured banking institution (which may be increased up to $100.0 million in aggregate, subject to available borrowing base and additional commitments) which may be borrowed, repaid and redrawn, subject to a borrowing base based on eligible loan obligations held by the Company and subject to the satisfaction of other conditions provided under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Interest is payable on the Revolving
47

Credit Facility at the greater of (1) the applicable base rate plus 0.50% and (2) 7.00%, as provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, payable in cash in arrears.
Our obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets. In addition, we are subject to various financial and other covenants, including: (1) liquidity of at least $5.0 million, (2) annual debt service coverage of at least 1.50 to 1.0 and (3) secured debt not to exceed 25% of total consolidated assets of us and our subsidiaries. To the best of our knowledge, as of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance in all material respects with all covenants contained in our Revolving Credit Agreement.
In January 2026, we entered into Amendment Number Six to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Amendment Number Six”), by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and the lead arranger, bookrunner and administrative party thereto. Amendment Number Six, among other things, includes provisions relevant in light of our Conversion to a BDC.
In March 2026, we entered into Amendment Number Seven to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Amendment Number Seven”), by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and the lead arranger, bookrunner and administrative agent party thereto. Amendment Number Seven, among other things, added TCGDL LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, as a borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility and amended certain provisions related to the inclusion of TCGDL LLC as a Borrower.
In March 2026, we entered into Amendment Number Eight to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Amendment Number Eight”), by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and the lead arranger, bookrunner and administrative party thereto. Amendment Number Eight, among other things, increased the commitment from the lenders by $56.0 million, from $50.0 million to $106.0 million, consisting of (i) a $30.0 million permanent increase in revolver commitments and (ii) a $26.0 million increase in revolver commitments during a specified temporary increase period beginning on March 27, 2026 and ending on April 10, 2026 (the “Amendment Number Eight Temporary Increase Period”). Upon expiration of the Amendment Number Eight Temporary Increase Period, the aggregate revolving commitments and the maximum revolver amount under the facility was automatically reduced to $80.0 million.
In June 2026, we entered into Amendment Number Nine to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Amendment Number Nine”), by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and the lead arranger, bookrunner and administrative party thereto. Amendment Number Nine, among other things, conformed certain reporting information to market standard for BDCs, set certain conditions for including specific credit facilities in the borrower base, and increased the aggregate revolver commitments under the facility to $110.0 million, consisting of a $30.0 million temporary increase in revolver commitments during a specified temporary increase period beginning on June 26, 2026 and ending on July 3, 2026 (the “Amendment Number Nine Temporary Increase Period”). Upon expiration of the Amendment Number Nine Temporary Increase Period, the aggregate revolving commitments and the maximum revolver amount under the facility will automatically be reduced to $80.0 million.
As of June 30, 2026, outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were $110.0 million and $0 was available for borrowing. As of June 30, 2026, the interest rate on the Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 7.25%.
On July 1, 2026, we repaid $84.4 million on our outstanding debt obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility.
TCGSL Credit Facility
In January 2026, we entered into the TCGSL Credit Facility, which provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility with a $20.0 million commitment, which may be borrowed, repaid and redrawn, subject to a draw fee and the other conditions provided in the TCGSL Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, outstanding borrowings on the TCGSL Credit Facility were $20.0 million and $0 was available for borrowing.
On July 1, 2026, we repaid $20.0 million on our outstanding debt obligations under the TCGSL Credit Facility.
2027 Senior Notes
On November 3, 2021, we issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes. The 2027 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.75% per annum. Interest on the 2027 Senior Notes is due semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, which began on May 1, 2022. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Senior Notes were approximately $97.0 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering fees
48

and expenses payable by us. We used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Senior Notes (i) to fund loans related to unfunded commitments to existing borrowers, (ii) to originate and participate in commercial loans to companies operating in the cannabis industry that are consistent with our investment strategy and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The terms of the 2027 Senior Notes are governed by the Indenture. Under the Indenture governing the 2027 Senior Notes, we are required to cause all of our existing and future subsidiaries to guarantee the 2027 Senior Notes, other than certain immaterial subsidiaries as set forth in the Indenture. TRS1 is currently a subsidiary guarantor under the Indenture.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $77.0 million in principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes outstanding.
Prior to February 1, 2027, we may redeem the 2027 Senior Notes in whole or in part, at a price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes being redeemed or a make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. On or after February 1, 2027, we may redeem the 2027 Senior Notes in whole or in part at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. The Indenture also requires us to offer to purchase all of the 2027 Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest if a “change of control triggering event” (as defined in the Indenture) occurs.
The Indenture governing the 2027 Senior Notes contains customary terms and restrictions, subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, including restrictions on our ability to (1) incur additional indebtedness unless the Annual Debt Service Charge (as defined in the Indenture) is no less than 1.5 to 1.0, (2) incur or maintain total debt in an aggregate principal amount greater than 60% of our consolidated Total Assets (as defined in the Indenture), (3) incur or maintain secured debt in an aggregate principal amount greater than 25% of our consolidated Total Assets (as defined in the Indenture); and (4) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets. In addition, the Indenture also provides for customary events of default. If any event of default occurs, any amount then outstanding under the Indenture may immediately become due and payable. These events of default are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture. We were in compliance with the terms of the Indenture as of the date of this Quarterly Report.
The table below sets forth the material terms of our outstanding senior notes as of the date of this Quarterly Report:
| Senior Notes | Issue Date | Amount Outstanding | Interest Rate Coupon | Maturity Date | Interest Due Dates | Optional Redemption Date | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2027 Senior Notes | November 3, 2021 | $77.0 million | 5.75% | May 1, 2027 | May 1 and November 1 | February 1, 2027 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Other Credit Facilities, Warehouse Facilities and Repurchase Agreements
In the future, we may also use other sources of financing to fund the origination or acquisition of our target investments, including other credit facilities and other secured and unsecured forms of borrowing. These financings may be collateralized or non-collateralized and may involve one or more lenders. We expect that these facilities will typically have maturities ranging from two to five years and may accrue interest at either fixed or floating rates.
Debt Service
As of June 30, 2026, we believe that our cash on hand, capacity available under our Revolving Credit Facility, TCGSL Credit Facility, principal repayments we expect to receive on our investment portfolio, and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy the operating requirements of our business, to service our outstanding debt, and to meet our contractual obligations, including repayment of the 2027 Senior Notes at maturity, through at least the next twelve months.
Recent Developments
In July 2026, a borrower, Devi Holdings Inc. (“Devi”) entered into a binding term sheet, through its court-appointed receiver, to sell its Massachusetts and New Mexico assets to J Brrothers LLC for $12.5 million, of which we expect to be allocated our pro rata portion of the sale proceeds. Devi earned a non-refundable deposit of $2.0 million in connection with entering into the binding term sheet. The transaction remains subject to definitive documentation and court approval. No assurance can be provided that it will be consummated by the terms described herein, or at all. AFC Agent continues to

monitor the court-appointed receivership installed to maintain the borrower’s operations and maximize value for the benefit of its creditors.
In July 2026, we committed $7.0 million of a $25.0 million senior secured credit facility with CM Counsel Management LLC, of which $3.1 million was funded at closing. The loan was originated at a discount of 3.0% and matures July 10, 2030. The loan bears cash interest at a rate of three-month SOFR plus 4.5%, with a rate index floor of 4.0%, and 5.0% interest paid-in kind.
In July 2026, we entered into an amendment with Story of Natures Medicine LLC (“Story of Natures Medicine”) to extend the maturity date from July 31, 2026 to December 31, 2026 in exchange for an amendment fee of 1.5% of the outstanding principal balance and the addition of an exit fee of 1.5% of the outstanding principal balance. Story of Natures Medicine is current on all interest and amortization obligations under the credit facility.
On July 1, 2026, we repaid $84.4 million and $20.0 million, respectively, on our outstanding debt obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility and TCGSL Credit Facility.
In August 2026, we entered into a forbearance agreement under the existing credit facility with Theratrue, Inc. and its affiliates (“Theratrue”), as borrowers, whereby we agreed to waive certain financial covenants and forbear from exercising certain rights, subject to certain conditions. In exchange, the parties amended certain terms regarding Theratrue’s repayment obligations thereunder and Theratrue paid an amendment fee and will pay an exit fee, totaling approximately $0.4 million in the aggregate. Approximately $8.0 million remains outstanding under the credit facility.

Off-balance sheet commitments consist of unfunded commitments on delayed draw loans. Other than as set forth in this Quarterly Report, we do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured investment vehicles, special purpose entities or variable interest entities, established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or intend to provide additional funding to any such entities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
As of June 30, 2026, there were no significant changes in or changes in the application of our critical accounting policies or estimates from those presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. For a

description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements. We consider the most significant accounting policies to be those related to our Valuation of Portfolio Investments, Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and Basis of Presentation.
As of January 1, 2026, we are an investment company under GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in ASC 946 and SEC Regulation S-X.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Risk Management
As a BDC regulated under the 1940 Act, we seek to manage risk exposure by closely monitoring our portfolio and actively managing financing, interest rate, credit, prepayment and convexity (a measure of the sensitivity of the duration of a loan to changes in interest rates) risks associated with holding our portfolio. Generally, with the guidance and experience of our Adviser:
•we manage our portfolio through an interactive process with our Adviser and service our self-originated loans through our Adviser’s servicer;
•we invest in a mix of floating- and fixed-rate loans to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the financing of our portfolio;
•we actively employ portfolio-wide and asset-specific risk measurement and management processes in our daily operations, including utilizing our Adviser’s risk management tools such as software and services licensed or purchased from third-parties and proprietary analytical methods developed by our Adviser; and
•we seek to manage credit risk through our due diligence process prior to origination or acquisition and through the use of non-recourse financing, when and where available and appropriate. In addition, with respect to any particular target investment, prior to origination or acquisition our Adviser’s investment team evaluates, among other things, relative valuation, comparable company analysis, supply and demand trends, shape-of-yield curves, delinquency and default rates, recovery of various sectors and vintage of collateral.
Investment Valuation Risk
We evaluate our loans on a quarterly basis and fair value was determined, prior to January 1, 2026, by our Board through its independent Audit and Valuation Committee, and, beginning on January 1, 2026, by the Adviser, in its capacity as “valuation designee” under, and in accordance with, Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. We used an independent third-party valuation firm to provide input in the valuation of all of our unquoted investments, which we consider along with other various subjective and objective factors in making our evaluations.
Our loans are typically valued using a yield analysis, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired loans to borrowers. Alternative valuation methodologies may be used as appropriate, and can include a market analysis, income analysis, or recovery analysis. To determine fair value using a yield analysis, a current price is imputed for the loan based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured loan with a similar level of risk. In the yield analysis, we consider the current contractual interest rate, the maturity and other terms of the loan relative to risk of the borrower and the specific loan. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the loan relative to the enterprise value of the borrower. As loans held by us are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, we depend on primary market data, including newly funded loans, as well as secondary market data with respect to high-yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable. Changes in market yields, recovery rates, and revenue multiples may change the fair value of certain of our loans. Generally, an increase in market yields may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain of our loans, while a decrease in revenue multiples and recovery rates may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain of our loans; however, this is mitigated to the extent our loans bear interest at a floating rate.
We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities of private and public middle-market companies. Most of our investments will not have a readily available market price, and the fair value of such investments are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in its capacity as “valuation designee” under, and in accordance with, Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, based on, among other things, the input of independent third-party valuation firms retained by the Company, and in accordance with the Adviser’s valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied
51
Index
to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our assets and our related financing obligations.
Our operating results depend in large part on differences between the income earned on our assets and our cost of borrowing. The cost of our borrowings generally will be based on prevailing market interest rates. During a period of rising interest rates, our borrowing costs generally will increase (a) while the yields earned on our leveraged fixed-rate loan assets will remain static, and (b) at a faster pace than the yields earned on our leveraged floating-rate loan assets, which could result in a decline in our net interest spread and net interest margin. The severity of any such decline would depend on our asset/liability composition at the time as well as the magnitude and duration of the interest rate increase. Further, an increase in short-term interest rates could also have a negative impact on the market value of our target investments. If any of these events happen, we could experience a decrease in net income or incur a net loss during these periods, which could adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations.
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. We intend to fund portions of our investments with borrowings, and at such time, our net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. Accordingly, we cannot assure shareholders that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
As of June 30, 2026, on a fair value basis, 55.4% of performing debt investments bore interest at a floating rate and 44.6% of performing debt investments bore interest at a fixed rate, respectively. Our borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate and our TCGSL Credit Facility and 2027 Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate.
As of June 30, 2026, the floating benchmark rates included one-month and three-month SOFR and U.S. prime. One-month SOFR was quoted at 3.7% and subject to a weighted average floor of 3.7% based on outstanding principal. Three-month SOFR was quoted at 3.7% and subject to a weighted average floor of 2.5% based on outstanding principal. U.S. prime rate was quoted at 6.75% and subject to a weighted average floor of 4.5% based on outstanding principal.
Based on our June 30, 2026 consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, the following table shows the annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates on performing investments (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:
| Basis Point Change | Interest Income | Interest Expense | Net Investment Income | |||||||||||||||||
| Up 300 basis points | $ | 3,297,250 | $ | (3,300,000) | $ | (2,750) | ||||||||||||||
| Up 200 basis points | $ | 1,983,366 | $ | (2,200,000) | $ | (216,634) | ||||||||||||||
| Up 100 basis points | $ | 697,223 | $ | (1,100,000) | $ | (402,777) | ||||||||||||||

| Down 300 basis points | $ | (550,378) | $ | 275,000 | $ | (275,378) | ||||||||||||||
We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps, futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of changes in interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was made under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (the “PFO”). Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and PFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (a) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC rules and forms and (b) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and PFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with our loans.
We have been involved in a series of lawsuits against the Justice Cannabis Company and its related individuals and entities since April 2025 regarding various alleged defaults under the credit agreement entered into between the parties on April 5, 2021 and subsequently amended multiple times. The credit facility to Justice Cannabis Company matured on May 1, 2026 and was not repaid.
On April 20, 2026, we sent the borrowers a Maturity Statement and on May 7, 2026 we sent the borrowers a Notice of Default for failure to pay upon maturity. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, approximately $78.8 million of principal remains outstanding under the credit facility. We are pursuing repayment of this loan through multiple avenues. On May 14, 2026, AFC Agent noticed public dispositions of certain collateral under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, originally scheduled for July 28, 2026, and currently rescheduled for September 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026.
In April 2025, we and AFC Agent (collectively, the “AFC Parties”) commenced legal actions against two shareholders (the “Guarantors”) of the parent of Justice Cannabis Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which was amended in June 2025, and then again in June 2026 following the court’s partial grant of the Guarantors’ motion to dismiss in March 2026. The second amended complaint against the Guarantors asserts claims for breach of contract and fraud. This action is in discovery.
Also in April 2025, AFC Agent commenced an action against the parent of Justice Cannabis Company (the “Parent”) in New York state court asserting a claim for breach of contract arising from Parent’s failure to satisfy its obligations under a payment guaranty agreement related to the Company’s credit facility with Justice Cannabis Company. On August 3, 2026, AFC Agent commenced an action against the Parent in New York state court seeking summary judgment in lieu of complaint for failure of the Parent to satisfy its obligations under the guaranty agreement upon the borrower’s failure to pay at maturity.
In April 2025, two Justice Cannabis Company-affiliated cannabis companies that are borrowers under the Company’s credit facility with Justice Cannabis Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging, among other things, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and
53
Index
violations of the New York Uniform Commercial Code in connection with the Company’s termination of a forbearance agreement between the parties. In May 2025, the court granted NJ plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction. In June 2025, the AFC Parties appealed the injunction to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which heard oral argument on March 3, 2026. On May 6, 2026, the AFC Parties filed a motion to dismiss the appeal as moot. The appeal and that motion both remain pending before the Third Circuit. On February 23, 2026, the District Court granted the AFC Parties’ motion for summary judgment on the Amended Complaint’s fourth count.
In June 2026, the AFC Parties commenced an action against Bloc Dispensary LLC, Hayden Gateway LLC, Pier Cove LLC and certain affiliated borrowers in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Mercer County, seeking to enforce the AFC Parties’ contractual rights to inspect the collateral securing the credit facility to Justice Cannabis Company. The defendants removed the action to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, and the action was subsequently returned to the Chancery Division. On July 15, 2026, the defendants, together with JG HoldCo LLC and two individual principals, filed a counterclaim against the AFC Parties and applied for an order to show cause with temporary restraints seeking to enjoin the AFC Parties from exercising control over the counterclaim-NJ plaintiffs’ deposit accounts and from conducting the noticed dispositions of collateral described above. The defendants also allege, among other things, that the credit agreement is unenforceable because it involves activities that violate federal law, that the AFC Parties do not hold valid or enforceable security interests in the collateral, and that the noticed dispositions would not be commercially reasonable under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Pursuant to a case management order entered on July 17, 2026, AFC’s opposition to the pending application for preliminary injunctive relief was filed on August 7, 2026, replies are due on August 14, 2026, and a hearing is scheduled for September 15, 2026. The AFC Parties believe the counterclaim is without merit and intend to defend against it vigorously.
On March 26, 2026, Bloc Dispensary LLC, Hayden Gateway LLC, and JG HoldCo LLC—which are two borrowers under the credit facility to Justice Cannabis Company entities—filed suit against Leonard Tannenbaum, Robyn Tannenbaum, Daniel Neville, the Company, AFC Agent, and the Adviser in the Circuit Court for the 15th Judicial Circuit for Palm Beach County, Florida. The complaint reiterates many of the allegations in a complaint that was filed in California (and subsequently dismissed for lack of jurisdiction), including that the defendants harmed plaintiffs’ business and breached the 2024 Justice Cannabis Company Forbearance Agreement, among other alleged misconduct. The Florida plaintiffs assert causes of action against all defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with a contractual relationship, unjust enrichment, breaches of contract, negligent hiring, and negligent retention and supervision, and seek damages, interest, costs, attorney fees, and an injunction against foreclosure. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to stay this action on July 6, 2026, which remains pending.
On February 26, 2026, Jon Loevy and Michael Kanovitz—the principals of the Justice Cannabis Company borrowers—filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against nine individuals who are directors, officers, or other personnel affiliated with the Company. The defendants removed the action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint, as amended on May 22, 2026, asserts a claim for defamation, based on statements attributed to a Company spokesperson in a legal trade publication and on remarks made on a Company earnings call. In June 2026, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim, and separately moved for sanctions. Both motions remain pending. The defendants believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously.
Because the outcomes of these actions remain uncertain, no reasonable estimate of possible outcomes resulting from these legal actions can be made at this time.
