Hello,On an up to date F11 I'm seeing bizarre audio issues. Using Rhythmbox or the main volume control in the panel, if I adjust the volume, and then request the next song, my volume level is reset, and not necessarily reset to the same value. For example I start where rhythmbox is showing 1%, I increase it to 15%. Select Next Song... the sound volume drops again down to anywhere in the 0-2% range... The volume isn't modified when Rhythmbox moves to the next song on its own.
Also likely related, when I first start rhythmbox playing (from a fresh login or a closing of rhythmbox and starting it again) the first song is always muted... no idea why. I either have to click next song or adjust the volume on the first song...
Are these known issues or should file a bug... Would this be pulse audio related or is there a way to perhaps narrow down what component is causing the issue?

Steve Klinsky
Thanks everybody. Before turning the call back over to Rob and Dave, I wanted to welcome you all to New Mountain Finance Corporation's second quarter earnings call for 2013. Rob and Dave will go through the details, but I'm once again pleased to present the highlights of another strong quarter for new Mountain Finance.
New Mountain Finance's adjusted net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, was $0.50 per share. After deducting the one-time YP distribution of $0.12 per share our pro forma adjusted net investment income was $0.38 per share, which exceeds our previously announced range of $0.33 to $0.35 per share, and more than covers our previously announced Q2 dividend of $0.34 per share.
The company's book value on June 30th was $14.32 per share, an increase of 1% from Q1 and an all time high for the company. We're also able to announce our regular dividend for the quarter ending September 30, 2013. The regular dividend will again be $0.34 per share, consistent with our previously communicated view that we have reached a fully ramped steady state dividend level.
Additionally, we will be paying a $0.12 per share special dividend this quarter from the proceeds of a distribution we received from one of our equity holdings YP LLC.
The credit quality of the company's loan portfolio continues to be strong with once again no new loans placed on non-accrual this quarter. We have had only one issuer default since October 2008 when the debt effort began, and it represented just 0.6% of the cost basis of our existing portfolio, and under 0.3% of cumulative investments made to-date.
New Mountain Finance continue to expand its asset base in Q2. The company invested $150 million in gross originations in Q2, largely deploying the proceeds from June's $29 million equity capital raise and related credit facility upsizing.
Targeted yields on new investments continue to be consistent with our previously communicated expectations. Our portfolio continues to emphasize positions in recession resistant, acyclical industries pursuant to New Mountain's overall strengths and strategy.
We continue to be very pleased with the progress of New Mountain Finance to-date and we are pleased to address you as fellow shareholders as well as management.
With that, let me turn the call over to Rob Hamwee, New Mountain Finance Corporation's Chief Executive Officer.
Rob Hamwee
Thank you, Steve. As always I would like to start with a brief review of NMFC and our strategy. As outlined on Page 5 of our presentation, NMFC is externally managed by New Mountain Capital, a leading private equity firm, with more than $9 billion of assets under management, and approximately 100 staff members, including nearly 60 investment professionals.
NMFC takes New Mountains approach to private equity and applies it to corporate credit with a consistent focus on defensive growth, business models, and extensive fundamental research.
Some of the key hallmarks of the defensive growth business models include acyclicality, sustainable sector growth drivers, high barriers of competitive entry, niche market dominant, repetitive revenue, variable cost structures, and strong free cash flow.
With a historically successful business model focused approach in mind, our mandate since the inception of New Mountains debt investment program in 2008 has been to primarily target what we believe to be high quality business that demonstrate most or all of the defensive growth attributes that are important to us, and to do so with an industry's that are already well researched by New Mountain. Or more simply put, we invest in recession in each different businesses that we really know and that we really like it.
We believe this approach results in a differentiated and sustainable model that will allow us to generate attractive risk adjusted rate of return across changing market cycle and market condition. To achieve our mandate, we utilize the existing New Mountain investment team as our primary underwriting resource.
Turning to Page 6, you can see our total return performance from our IPO in May 2011 to August 2nd, 2013. We continue to be very pleased with both our absolute and relative return performance.
As outlined on Page 7, credit market saw a significant volatility in late May and June, as long-term treasury rates spike by over 100 basis points. This served as a catalyst for meaningful outflows in high yield market, which in turn grow credit spreads higher. The market has stabilized so far in Q3 and credit spreads have recovered somewhat.
Recent history has shown that market conditions can change quickly. We would like to reemphasize that New Mountain Capital and accordingly NMFC have always been proactively focused on defensive acylical business models and that our financing has turned out until late 2016 and not subject to traditional mark-to-market margin cost.
Given the recent rise in long-term interest rates, and the renewed focus in the market on the possibility of future short-term and long-term rate increases, we wanted to highlight NMFC's defensive positing relative to this potential issue.
If you can see on Page 8, 88% our portfolio is invested in floating rate debt. Therefore, even in the phase of the material rise in interest rates, assuming a consistently shaped yield curve, we would not expect to see a significant change on our book value.
Furthermore, as the table at the bottom of the page demonstrates, a meaningful rise in short-term rates will generally increase our NII per share with the only exception being a modest drive having a negative impact as the cost of our borrowing rise, while our interest income does not initially go up given the presence of LIBOR floor is on our assets.
Our singly highest priority continues to be our focus on risk control and credit performance, which we believe overtime, is the single biggest differentiator of total return in the BDC space.
If you refer to Page 9, we once again layout the cost basis of our investments, with the current 6/30/13 portfolio and our accumulated investments since the inception of our credit business in 2008. And then, show what if anything has migrated down the performance flatter.
In Q2, no assets had negative credit migration. We continue to have one SLF asset with a cost of $13.5 million and the fair market value of $8.9 million that previously migrated from internal rating of 2 to an internal rating of 3, indicating operating performance materially below our expectations but no near or medium term expectation for non-accrual. We continue to have only one Portfolio Company on non-accrual representing a cost 0.6% of our total portfolio and under 0.1% of fair market value.
Since the inception of our credit efforts in 2008, we've made investments in 116 portfolio companies of which only one has migrated to non-accrual. Over 99% of our portfolio at fair market value has currently rated 1 or 2 on our internal scale.
Pages 10 and 11 show the operating company and SLF, respectively leverage multiple for all of our holdings above $7.5 million when we entered into an investment and leverage level for the same investment as of the end of the current quarter. Well, not a perfect metric, the asset by asset trend and leverage multiple is a good snapshot of credit performance and helps provide some degree of empirical, fundamental support for our internal ratings and marks.
As you can see by looking at the two table, leverage multiples are in almost all cases trending in the right direction, and even more importantly, no single company in either page has had a material increase in leverage multiple with the exception of one loan in the SLF.
Page 12, provides a little more detail on the $0.12 special dividend for our investment in YP. As you can see, we made a relatively modest investment of $10 million into this business a little over a year ago, primarily in the form of second lien debt. The business has outperformed our expectations in terms of both operating performance and cash flow generation, resulting in a significantly recapitalization transaction. We've now been fully repaid this 15% interest on our debt position, and have cumulatively received $6.9 million of dividend on our $500,000 equity investment. We continue to own approximately 1% of the equity in the company. And as part of the recapitalization, we invested $31 million into a new first lien term loan.
On Page 13, we show a table depicting how NMFC's have publicly traded flow have increased by 350% based on the five equity offerings we have completed since our IPO. We now have $38.1 million shares in our flow, representing 85% of the total shares outstanding and liquidity and daily trading volume have increased commensurably.
The chart on Page 14; helps to track the company's overall economic performance since its IPO. At the top of the page, we show how the regularly quarterly dividend is being covered at of net investment income. As you can see, we continue to cover 100% of our cumulative regular dividend out of NII. And on bottom of the page, we focused on below the line items. First, we look at realized gains and realized credit and other losses. While you can see the individual, annual, and quarterly data, I draw your attention to the number highlighted in blue, which shows cumulative net realized gains of $19.1 million into our IPO.
Next, we look at unrealized depreciation. As you can see highlighted in grey we accumulated net unrealized depreciation of $13 million. For clarity, our mark-to-market loss on our one defaulted investment, ATI, of $5.50 million is reflected in this number along with various other mark-to-market gains and losses reflected on our schedule of investments.
Finally, we combined net realized with unrealized appreciation to derive the final line in the table, which in the yellow box shows a current cumulative net realized and unrealized depreciation of $32.1 million.
The point here is to show that on both the realized and combined realized unrealized basis, we have offset any credit losses or impairments below the line gains also in the portfolio.
In fact, by this methodology we have built a $32 million cushion to offer any future credit losses some of which we have paid out of special dividend. Our market driven volatility around unrealized appreciation and depreciation may cause the bottom-line number to vary over time through economic gains and losses will accumulate in the realized bucket where we will start to retain a positive balance.
Moving on to portfolio activity, as seen on Page 15, in Q2, we made significant investments in six portfolio companies and have total growth originations of $150 million. As you can see, the bulk of the investment activity came later in the quarter when we were able to take advantage of the market volatility I described earlier.
The payments totaled $115 million and opportunistic sales were $1 million for total net origination less sales of $34 million. All the investments in keeping with our strategy are in industries and businesses that are well known to us through our historical private equity activities.
For example, Deltek is an enterprise software business we owned in our private equity fund for over seven years. The in-depth knowledge of the company derived from our private ownership gives us great confidence in the accuracy over underwriting of the prospects of the business going forward.
Pages 16 and 17 show the impact of Q2 investment and disposition activity on asset types and yields respectively. Asset net origination type was modestly skewed towards first lien investments. Yields on originations and disposals were broadly consistent. The modest increase in the portfolio yield for maturity from 10.4% to 10.7% was entirely a function of an increase in the forward LIBOR curve.
Moving on to Page18, we continue to selectively find attractive opportunity to deploy capital. We continue to operate with our credit facilities, fully deployed, allowing for an optimized level of earnings, just like in recent quarters where we raised only as much capital as we have visibility to deploy in the near term, any balance sheet expansion from here will be a function of both how the pipeline of attractively priced and structured opportunities develops going forward and the magnitude of repayments received.
In terms of the portfolio review on Page 19, the key statistics as of 6/30 look very similar to 3/31. As always we maintain a portfolio comprised of companies in the defensive growth industries like software, healthcare, business services and education that we believe will outperform in an uncertain economic environment.
Finally, as illustrated on Page 20, we have a broadly diversified portfolio with our largest investment at 4.2% of fair value and the top 15 investments accounting for 46% of fair value consistent with past quarters.
With that, I will now turn it over to our CFO, Dave Cordova, to discuss the financial statements and key financial metrics. David?
Dave Cordova
Thank you, Rob. For more details on the financial results in today's commentary please refer to the Form 10-Q that was filed last evening with the SEC.
Before we turn to Slide 21, I want to mention that we have included a structured chart as Appendix A in the presentation. Similar to prior calls, I will spend a moment reviewing the company's structure as a brief refresher.
The structure was set up similar to an UPREIT structure whereby the public company Pubco has no direct operations of its own and its sole asset is its units of our operating business OpCo. Today the other units of OpCo are held by a private BDC owned by New Mountain's private equity fund, AIV Holdings. This structure is a master feeder whereby the financial statements for OpCo flow to Pubco and AIV Holdings pro rata based on the respective ownership.
All discussion throughout this call and presentation is focused on OpCo and its operations. Additionally, OpCo owns the equity of a non-recourse vehicle, the SLF. This vehicle originates lower yielding first lien loans, but with greater leverage at 2:1. For GAAP, asset coverage, and presentation purposes, we consolidate this SLF vehicle into the operations of OpCo.
Now I would like to turn your attention to Slide 21. The OpCo and SLF portfolios had approximately $1.06 billion in investments at fair value at June 30, 2013. We had approximately $15.9 million of cash and about $19.5 million of other assets, which includes approximately $11.2 million of interest in dividends receivable, much of which we've already received, $5.2 million of deferred credit facility costs, these costs to amortize over the life of our credit facilities, $0.7 million receivable from affiliates, and $2.4 million of other assets, which includes deferred offering cost and other prepaid expenses and assets.
We had total debt outstanding of about $416.5 million on our two credit facilities, which is made up of $209.4 million on our OpCo credit facility, which has $250 million of capacity at 6/30 and $207.1 million on our SLF credit facility, which has $215 million capacity at 6/30.
We had about $37.6 million of other liabilities, which is made up of $19.6 million payable for unsettled securities purchased, which settled in mid-July, approximately $14.5 million of payable to affiliates for management incentive fees, which is further broken down to $3.7 million in management fees, $5.4 million in Part I incentive fees, and $5.4 million in capital gains incentive fees, approximately $0.8 million of interest payable, and $2.7 million of vendor payables for various expenses.
This all gets us to a net asset value of $640.3 million or $14.32 per share at June 30, 2013. This is an increase of $0.01 per share over the March 31, 2013 NAV of $14.31 per share, and an increase of $0.49 per share from the June 30, 2012 NAV of $13.83 per share.
Our consolidated debt-to-equity ratio at 6/30 was 0.65:1, which is at the low end of our targeted debt-to-equity ratio range. As a reminder, our credit facilities allow us advanced rates of 25%, 45%, or 70%, depending on the type of the underlying asset.
At our OpCo facility, the rate is LIBOR plus 2.75% and at the SLF facility the rate is approximately LIBOR plus 2%. Both facilities do not mature until October 2016. Importantly our credit facility covenants are generally tied to the operating performance of the underlying businesses rather than the marks of our investment at any given time.
On Slide 22, we show our consolidated income statement for the full quarter at the OpCo level. As was discussed in prior quarters, the main reason for the creation of our up BDC structure was to make sure that the built in gains that were in the portfolio at the time of the IPO are only allocated to AID holdings, therefore not burdening the public shareholders with any of those taxable gains or increased depreciation on the predecessor investments over time.
Since we were not able to step up the assets for GAAP, our income statement will generally show greater accretion than if a step up had occurred, until the predecessor assets are sold, mature, or are repaid.
Therefore on this Slide we show the GAAP income statement in the left column and then adjusting income statement to reflect it as if all the assets were stepped up to fair value at the IPO and the normal adjustments column, which are highlighted in blue. We use the adjusted income statement to judge our performance to the portfolio during the period and it is also the basis for calculating our dividend and incentive fees.
We then make an adjustment for the capital gains incentive fee. This adjustment, which is highlighted in grey, represents the reclassification of the non-cash capital gains incentive fee from above to below the adjusted net investment line, as under GAAP we are required to accrue incentive fee assuming a hypothetical liquidation of the entire portfolio at the balance sheet date.
Lastly we further deduct the one-time YP distribution which adjustments are highlighted in yellow to arrive at our pro forma adjusted net investment income in the far right column. We believe pro forma net investment income represents a more accurate comparison of our earnings results to prior quarters.
Focusing on pro forma adjusted net investment income in the far right column, we earned total investment income of approximately $28.5 million. I will walk through the components of investment income in greater detail when we turn to Slide 23. For the second quarter, we incurred net expenses of approximately $12 million. The increases in management and the Part I incentive fees from the prior quarter are primarily attributable to higher total assets as a result of the capital deployment from our June equity offering and higher prepayment fees respectively.
Our interest expense of $3.1 million is broken out to represent about $2.6 million of actual interest expense on our borrowings, $100,000 of non-usage and custodian fees and about $378, 000 of amortization of our upfront borrowing costs. We have half the amount of our expenses reimbursable to the administrator for our 30 years of public company at $4.25 million. For this quarter, our combined amount of professional fees, administrative expenses, and other general and admin expenses are approximately $1.9 million gross, and approximately $1.06 million net of expenses waived and reimbursed. These amounts relate to legal costs, auditing tax or costs, other admin expenses and indirect expenses reimbursable under our administration agreement.
The bottom line is second quarter pro forma adjusted net investment income of $16.5 million or $0.38 per weighted average share, which exceeds the adjusted net investment income range discussed on our May 7th, 2013, call of between $0.33 and $0.35 per share and more than covers our Q2 dividend of $0.34 per share.
We are pleased that we were able to complete a strategic capital raise in June and still deliver adjusted net investment income that exceeded our expected range.
Shifting to below the pro forma adjusted net investment income line; we had adjusted net realized gains of $0.6 million as a result of repayments above our adjusted cost basis. Adjusted unrealized losses of $9.1 million were primarily driven by reclassifying approximately $5 million of previously unrealized gains associated with our investment in YP, and to dividend income, along with realizations on investments during the quarter previously marked above par and lower marked on the broader portfolio. As a result of the unrealized losses in the quarter, we reduced our capital gains incentive fee accrual by approximately $1.7 million. However as of June 30th, 2013, cumulative net adjusted realized gain did not exceed cumulative adjusted unrealized depreciation, and therefore we would not pay any capital gains incentive fees at least for year-end.
In total, for the quarter ended June 30th, 2013, we had a net increase in member's capital resulting from operations of $14.8 million. As previously mentioned we earned $0.12 from the YP distribution bringing total adjusted net investment income for the second quarter to $21.6 million or $0.50 per weighted average share a record for the company.
Turning to Slide 23, we breakout the components of both interest income and total investment income for the current and prior quarters. As has historically been the case, our total investment income is predominantly paid in cash. Though the amount of prepayment fees vary from quarter-to-quarter based on repayments, our historical earnings have consistently shown some material prepayment fee income. Therefore, we showed total interest income as a percentage of total investment income, both with and without prepayment fees, which is one measurement of the stability and predictability of our investment income.
The second quarter range of 87% to 95% is slightly lower than previous quarters and is a function of an increasing Q2 prepayment fees relative to prior quarters. During the quarter we received prepayment fees related to the repayment of five investments, four of which had meaningful call protection. Lastly, other income of approximately $1.4 million was made up of delayed compensation, revolver fees, and consent amendment, and forbearance fees.
On Slide 24, we show the quarterly migration of our adjusted net investment income starting with the current quarter pro forma adjusted net investment income, and the prior three quarters adjusted net investment income. Once again this highlights that while realization and unrealized appreciation, depreciation can be volatile below the line, we continue to generate and grow net investment income above the line.
Now, I will turn your attention to Slide 25. As previously discussed earlier the $16.5 million of pro forma adjusted net investment income for the second quarter exceeded the range we discussed on our Q1 earnings call of $13.9 million to $15.1 million or $0.33 to $0.35 per share. We paid a $0.34 per share dividend, which we believe to be our fully ramped run rate adjusted net investment income. Therefore, we expect to fall within the range of $14.5 million to $15.9 million of adjusted net investment income in the third quarter of 2013 or $0.33 to 0.35 per share. Although this is simply an estimate it could materially change.
Given our belief that our fully ramped run rate dividend will continue to fall in the previously declared expected range of $0.33 to $0.35 per share, our Board has declared a Q3, 2013, dividend of $0.34 per share in line with the previous five quarters. The Q3 2013 quarterly dividend of $0.34 per share will be paid on September 30th, 2013, to holders of record on September 16th, 2013.
Additionally as a result of the YP distribution our Board has declared a special dividend of $0.12 per share. The special dividend of $0.12 per share will be paid on August 30th, 2013, to holders of record on August 20th, 2013.
At this time, I would like to turn the call back over to Rob.
Rob Hamwee
Thanks, Dave. Well, once again we do not plan to give explicit forward guidance. It continues to remain our intention to consistently pay $0.34 per share on a quarterly basis for future quarters, so long as the adjusted NII covers the dividend in line with our current expectations.
In closing, I would just like to say that we continue to be extremely pleased with our performance to-date. Most importantly, from a credit perspective our portfolio continues to be very healthy. Once again, we like to thank you for your support and interest and at this point turn things back to the operator to begin Q&A. Operator?
Question-and-Answer Session
Thank you, sir. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. (Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from Greg Mason of KBW. Please go ahead.
Greg Mason - KBW
First, could you talk about the, I believe kind of $9 million of net depreciation in the quarter, obviously no new non-accruals so that was positive. What would you ascribe as the breakout of mark-to-market versus credit related in the [marks] [ph] this quarter?
Rob Hamwee
Yeah, I mean it was almost all mark to - first of all, remember over half of it, $5 million, was just re-classing the YP that was in unrealized gain into the income statement, right. So the real number is $4 million. And of that $4 million I would say that the significant majority of that was just the market that moved down from March 31st to June 30th and impacted some marks. And I really would say there was really no material idiosyncratic credit driven net impact there.
Greg Mason - KBW
And then, could you talk about one bigger picture and then kind of a smaller picture. Your ability to maintain the yields in the portfolio on the pro forma adjusted you had 10.7% yield last quarter, 10.7% yield this quarter. Can you just talk about what you are seeing in terms of yield compression? And then, also just kind of define that a little more, the 2Q originations were 10.1% yield in the sales and repayments were 10.8%. So also struggling little bit with how to connect the 10.7% last quarter to staying at 10.7% this quarter, so big picture and then smaller picture question?
Rob Hamwee
Yeah, I'll start with smaller picture, I mean, that's just the modest delta between the 10.1% and the 10.8% and the modest ins and outs. So if you rounded it to two decimals you would obviously see some slight decline. But at one decimal it's just -- it's not enough 70 bps differential on 10% portfolio churn it's just not enough to move it at one decimal place.
On the macro, looks that's obviously an important strategy and challenge for us I think we were getting more worried right until things moved our way in the back half of the second quarter, we could have seen this moving three or four times now over the last couple of years where spreads seem to compress and then something happens in the world.
So we're currently and you can see it initially in our early originations for this quarter. We're just looking at our pipeline we think we have reasonable comfort at this point that without changing our risk profile we can maintain those yields and that is obviously our -- after making sure we have no issues on the credit side that's our second biggest challenge.
Our next question comes from J.T. Rogers of Janney Capital Markets. Please go ahead.
J.T. Rogers - Janney Capital Markets
First one, just wondering what you guys are seeing in terms of private equity sponsor activity on the new M&A front. I had some commentary from some of your competitors that that is increasing. And then, may be also sort of willingness of business owners to sell given the current environment in the middle market?
Rob Hamwee
Yeah. And I would say we obviously have a very good insight into that through both our own activities but also through the activity of our PE business. We are seeing significantly increased activity and would expect a pretty busy post Labor Day period through the end of the year. I don't know Steve if you want to add anything to that.
Steve Klinsky
Well, for New Mountain itself on private equity, our new acquisition flow was actually very, very good. But I think it's important - I think it's true of New Mountain finance as well. The important thing for an organization is to build its own team up enough that it can deliver whatever the market conditions are. And so, I think New Mountain's deal flow is better on private equities, our team has gotten bigger and stronger as the years have gone on and we're trying to do the exact thing in New Mountain Finance to outweigh any kind of market currents which is the stronger team. So I think we feel good on both fronts.
Rob Hamwee
Yeah. And so, to your other point in terms of seller's willingness to transact, look I think that has increased and there are a number of reasons for that. But I think that the net effect that you're seeing, and most part, is evaluations are not low. So sellers are not giving their businesses away by any means. But I do think you're -- people have -- except some period of time for people to accustom themselves to this new post '07 environment that we're in, but I think five years later, I think the enough time had passed that people's valuation expectations are more consistent with reality and so, I do think that's part of the driver of the increased flow.
J.T. Rogers - Janney Capital Markets
Steve you mentioned building the team, I'm just wondering how many folks have you guys added at the NMFC level and are you looking to expand further?
Steve Klinsky
Yeah, we've added at all parts of the firm and all parts of the firm support NMFC. As Rob explained we used the core team as the underwriting. So we've gone actually from around 28 investment professionals back in 2007 when we launched the private equity fund three we now have over 50, including about 20 people who were former Corporate CEOs or COOs or management consultants. We built up the specialist on the New Mountain Finance team kind of in parallel to that. And so, we just keep trying to continuously improve ourselves as an organization and it works we think for all parts of the organization, including NMFC.
J.T. Rogers - Janney Capital Markets
And just one last question. I was just wondering is there any place in the capital structure that you find is offering the best risk return right now that unit tranche Mezzanine first lien loan, second lien loans?
Rob Hamwee
Yeah, I wouldn't say there is any specific outliers. Sometimes in the past, we said that we're seeing particularly compelling value in first lien, other times in more junior portions. I think it's roughly in balance, so it's more about finding the right business. And then, it is there or is there not an opportunity somewhere in the capital structure to attractively deploy capital. But no, there is no obvious dislocation at this point in time in our judgment in any particular layer of the capital structure.
(Operator Instructions) Our next question comes from Jonathan Bock of Wells Fargo Securities. Please go ahead.
Jonathan Bock - Wells Fargo Securities
Rob, one question for you. As it relates to the prices one willing to pay for a certain leverage level, can you give us a sense of your comfort level in terms of all in leverage for deal whether it is 5 or 6.1 or 6.5 times? And what you believe to be kind of the appropriate rate as leverage continually creeps up for very strong and acyclical and very healthy companies that you target?
Rob Hamwee
Yeah, and that's a good question. I mean, Jon we're -- well, we obviously are looking at absolute leverage multiples. I think we start by looking at enterprise value relative to leverage multiples, right. So I'll say, I'd rather be 6 times levered on a 11 times business, and 4.5 times levered on a 5 times business. And that obviously, means you have to have high degree of confidence in your judgments around that denominator so that's a critical component, right if you think its 11 but it really what 7, you're going to find yourself in a bad place. And so, that's where I think the private equity D&A and team is so critical in helping us make those judgments, in really making those judgments.
So that being said obviously, as absolute leverage creeps up you do have to look at coverage ratios and make sure that companies are properly hedging themselves from an interest rate perspective. And you obviously, will want to charge more for any given level of leverage for the same company.
I can't sit here and give you a sort of hard and fast rule though that five times leverage equals X percent and six times leverage equals Y percent. It really is going to be situation specific. And we also look not just that obviously the last dollar of leverage, but the average dollar of leverage, right. The different between being a thin five to six slug slice of mass under is being a two to six thick second lien or something like that. So, we have to take that into account as well.
All I can say is we are quite conformable. And I think certainly the margin we could be getting more yield if we wanted to, but we are focused first and foremost on what we call zero loss underwriting, where we are not taking a portfolio approach assuming some percent are going to go bad. We are really each and every one of investments we make we believe has in our lines in obvious path to full repayment. Obviously, at some point we are going to make a mistake or two, but we are focused on kind of keeping our yield consistent with the minimal amount of risk. And I still think we are able to pull that off despite the modest creeping we have seen in leverage multiples like, you say in the highest quality businesses.
Jonathan Bock - Wells Fargo Securities
I appreciate that. And let's say the current environment remains the same and perhaps gets tighter assuming the Fed, there is lot of big assumptions in that, but let us just assume that's the case. What would you say portfolio velocity or more importantly, repayment activity looks like in the event the status quo at the current market is remains the same?
Rob Hamwee
Yeah, I think we have always guided towards roughly a third of the portfolio churning in environment like you described. I think that still our expectation may be if we get even tighter from here, you will see that move up to 35% or 40%. So, that kind of how we are running the business again. And I think that the data validates that as well as just our insight into looking ahead from what we know about prophecies towards for the next two or three months, when we do have visibility and that's really how we manage the business. And we always first and foremost make sure that we have enough quality originations to replace our churn, which is significant and then, and only then do we think about raising incremental capital to fund incremental deal flow.
Jonathan Bock - Wells Fargo Securities
I appreciate that. And then lastly, as we look at maybe a few newer transactions that were perhaps done at relatively attractive yield, just perhaps interested in the 17% rate that once getting on preferred shares in Black Oak, which we find very attractive in this environment. Maybe what are some of the unique items that are part of that investment that allows you to earn such a substantial risk adjusted return relative to perhaps the markets today, which are closer to 10% to 12%?
Rob Hamwee
Yeah. I think one of the items is to know there is a bit of a short-term security. So, it's not we expect it to get taken out in the first half of next year. So, we were able I think to, so that type of callability for this type of junior security we are able to charge a near-term rate. It was not quite as attractive sale as it appears it like to be getting 17% for the next three or four years, but that is not the case.
And then secondly, there was a timing element, there was a reason why the issuer needed to move quickly and we were able to do that given some relationships and knowledge that we had and get paid for that. And thirdly, I think the fact that it isn't that preferred as opposed to debt, I think you always get paid extra for that because there is just lots of other natural buyers, who don't have a bucket for preferred.
Jonathan Bock - Wells Fargo Securities
And last question I understand why YP congrats that was an excellent investment. So, as one, participated in the refinance, which is also part of a very large dividend recap. What percentage of new investments today were recap, dividend recapitalization?
Rob Hamwee
Just for the quarter?
Jonathan Bock - Wells Fargo Securities
Yeah, for about the 150 and originations that you made, may be ballpark, how many of those transactions were involved in dividend recapitalization?
Rob Hamwee
I would tell you the exact number is going to be about 30%.
And this concludes our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to our leaders for any final remarks.
Steve Klinsky
Yeah. Well, thanks everyone for your time and your interest and your support. We appreciate it and look forward to speaking next quarter and of course in the interim. Always happy to take calls at any point in time. So, thanks again and enjoy the day. Bye, bye.
The conference is now concluded and we thank you all for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect and have a wonderful day.

The present invention relates to a circuit package and, more particularly, to a leadless circuit package for supporting flat circuit elements such as integrated circuit chips and an electrical connector for receiving such package.
Leadless integrated circuit packages are commonly used for mounting integrated circuits on printed circuit boards, computer backpanels, and the like, and have signicant advantages over conventional dual in-line packages (DIP) and single in-line packages (SIP) in the manufacture of large electronic systems, such as computers. If, during the assembly of integrated circuits on a computer backpanel, a defect is discovered in one of the integrated circuits, the leadless package having the defective integrated circuit is simply removed from its electrical connector and replaced with a new package. This eliminates both the problem of removing packages having soldered leads or pins and the potential for bending or breaking such pins when removed.
An integrated circuit package includes a support disc with an integrated circuit chip mounted on it. In present systems the integrated circuit packages generally are of a square or rectangular configuration. The integrated circuit package is inserted into a plastic socket that has a metal spring-loaded lid. In this manner, the integrated circuit package is suspended between a plurality of spring-loaded socket contact pins and the metal spring-loaded lid. The purpose of the lid is simply to hold the integrated circuit package down against the socket contact pins. In such systems the lid is often difficult to close and in some cases the lid can appear to be closed when it in fact is not. Further, since the lid is metal, care must be taken in the design and maintenance of the system to avoid contact between the lid and adjacent circuitry.
In accordance with the present invention an integrated circuit package for supporting flat circuit elements, including integrated circuit chips, includes a non-conductive, round support disc that has a top surface and a bottom surface. A plurality of electrical conductors is affixed to the top surface of the disc to provide a plurality of operative connections between the flat circuit elements and the periphery of the disc. An electrical connector is provided for receiving the integrated circuit package or an integrated circuit having a round configuration and further having a plurality of electrical conductors. The electrical connector comprises a housing with a cylindrical cavity for receiving the integrated circuit package or integrated circuit, the housing being of an electrically non-conducting material, and having a plurality of pins. The plurality of pins extend from outside the housing, through the housing, and into the cylindrical cavity, thereby providing a plurality of electrical contact points for the corresponding plurality of electrical conductors of the integrated circuit package or the integrated circuit. The pins protrude into the cylindrical cavity in a circular pattern around the inside of the housing and in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the housing. The plurality of pins are of a resilient electrically conductive material.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a leadless integrated circuit package.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a leadless integrated circuit package and to provide an electrical connector for receiving the leadless integrated circuit package.
These and other objects of the present invention will become more apparent when taken in conjunction with the following description, and attached drawings, wherein like characters indicate like parts and which drawings form a part of the present application.
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an electrical connector assembly in accordance with the present invention, with an integrated circuit package shown positioned for insertion into the electrical connector;
FIG. 2 is a top view of the integrated circuit package of the present invention with a lid removed;
FIG. 3 is a cross-section of the integrated circuit package of FIG. 2 taken along the section line I--I, with the lid in place;
FIG. 4 is a partial-exploded perspective sectional view of the integrated circuit package of FIG. 2 taken along the section line I--I.
FIG. 5 is a perspective sectional view of the connector of FIG. 1 taken along the section line II--II;
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the electrical connector assembly of FIG. 1 taken along section line II--II with the integrated circuit package mounted in the electrical connector and a cap in place securely holding the integrated circuit package;
FIG. 7 is a wide angle perspective top view of an alternate embodiment of the electrical connector;
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the electrical connector assembly of FIG. 1 taken along the section line II--II with a heat sink mounted in the electrical connector; and
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the electrical connector assembly of FIG. 1 taken along section line II--II showing an alternative embodiment of a heat sink shown inserted in the cap of the electrical connector.
FIG. 1 shows an electrical connector assembly 10 for electrically connecting an integrated circuit chip 12 to a backpanel 14. The integrated circuit chip 12 is supported or mounted on the underside of a disc 16 that forms the support member of a leadless integrated circuit package. The integrated circuit chip 12 is mounted in a generally central location on the disc 16 and is electrically connected by appropriate conductive paths provided on a surface of the disc 16 to a plurality of pins of an electrical connector 20. The integrated circuit package 16 is inserted into the electrical connector 20 and is held in place by a cap 22 screwed onto the electrical connector. A hole 24 small enough to prevent the integrated circuit package from passing through it but large enough to allow for a variety of heat sink alternatives is formed in the cap.
The integrated circuit package will be described in conjunction with FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4. The disc 16 is of a ceramic material, although other non-conductive materials may be used, forming what is more commonly known in the art as a carrier or substrate and it has a circular recess 26 with a diameter large enough to accept the integrated circuit chip 12. The integrated circuit chip 12 is placed in the recess 26 and affixed to the inside bottom surface 27 of the recess. A plurality of electrical conductors 28 are affixed to the upper surface 29 of the disc 16 so that they extend radially from the periphery of the recess 26 to the periphery of disc 16. The integrated circuit chip 12 is connected via leads 30 to the respective electrical conductors 28 in a manner well known in the art.
Although FIG. 2 shows the electrical conductors 28 extending radially outwardly and with the width of the electrical conductors 28 increasing as they approach the periphery of disc 16, it will be understood that various configurations may be utilized for the electrical conductors 28. For example, the width of each conductor may remain constant, as shown by electrical conductors 31, thereby reducing the amount of electrically conductive material required for the electrical conductor 28. This is especially important when electrical conductors 28 utilize a high cost metal such as gold. The electrical conductors 28 need to have an adequate cross-section, to carry the current required by the chip 12 and the width of each of the conductors must be great enough to insure proper contact with its respective pin in the electrical connector 20.
In order to protect the integrated circuit chip 12, a housing covers the integrated circuit chip 12. A ring 32 is affixed to the upper surface 29 of integrated circuit package 16 and is made of a non-conductive material and covered with a lid 34 of a similar non-conductive material. Note that FIG. 2 shows the housing without the lid 34 attached.
A notch 36 is formed in the periphery of the disc 16 to hold the disc in a fixed position so that it is not free to rotate in the electrical connector 20, and the integrated circuit package 16 is properly positioned in the electrical connector 20.
The electrical connector 20 will now be described in conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 5. The electrical connector 20 comprises a base 40 made of a non-conductive material having a disc-like shape. In the preferred embodiment, a cylindrical wall 42 having a top surface 41, whose outside diameter is less than that of the base 40, is affixed to the base 40. The axis of the cylindrical wall 42 is coincident with the axis of the base 40, and the cylindrical wall 42 and base 40 formed a cavity 43, which serves as a receptacle for receiving integrated circuit package.
The inside diameter of cylindrical wall 42 at the opened end, i.e., that end of the cylinder remote from the base 40, is just large enough to receive the integrated circuit package 16. The inside diameter of cylindrical wall 42 at the closed end, i.e., the end closer to the base 40, is smaller than the inside diameter at the opened end. The smaller diameter inside wall rises toward the open end within the cavity 43, the smaller diameter inside wall maintaining the same diameter. At a point before reaching the top surface 41, the diameter changes to equal that of the inside diameter of the opened end, forming a step or pedestal 44 within the cavity 43. The diameter of the smaller inside diameter wall is large enough to accept the ring 32 and lid 34 of the integrated circuit package 16. A plurality of pins 46 are arranged in a circular fashion extending from outside the base 40 and are sufficiently long to extend through backpanel 14 and through the cylindrical wall 42, into the cavity 43 of electrical connector 20. The pins enter the cavity 43 from the step or pedestal 44 surface, forming a plurality of electrical contact points 47 for the electrical conductors 28 of the integrated circuit package 16. Pins 46 along the surface of the pedestal 44 are of a resilient electrically conducting material.
A keyway 50 runs along the inside surface of cylindrical wall 42 parallel to the cylindrical wall axis. The outside of the cylindrical wall is threaded to provide a fastening means for the cap 22.
FIG. 6 shows a cross-section of the electrical connector assembly 10 fully assembled, the support disc 16 being held firmly in place between the cap 22 and the resilient spring-like electrical contact points 47 of pins 46. It will be recognized that many alternative means exist for holding the integrated circuit package 16 in the electrical connector 20. In the preferred embodiment, the holding device is a cap 22, the inside circular surface 39 of which forms a positive stop against the top surface 41 of cylindrical wall 42. The distance between top surface 41 and the pedestal 44 is such that when cap 22 is firmly against the positive stop, the disc 16 applies the proper compression force against the electrical contact points 47 of pins 46. The ring 32 and lid 34 of integrated circuit package 16 extend into the cavity 43, the smaller inside diameter of cylindrical wall 42 being large enough to accept the ring 32 and the height of the pedestal 44 being high enough to accept ring 32 and lid 34, allowing the electrical conductors 28 to press firmly against the electrical contact points 47 of pins 46. The integrated circuit package 16 is placed upside down into the cavity 43 of the electrical connector 20, so that the notch 36 coincides with keyway 50.
It will be recognized by those skilled in the art that additional keyways and notches may be placed in the electrical connector 20 and in the disc 16, respectively, so as to code corresponding integrated circuit packages, thereby eliminating the risk or possibility of placing an incorrect integrated circuit package into the wrong electrical connector 20. It will be further recognized that many alternatives exist for guiding the integrated circuit package into the electrical connector 20, such as having the notch(s) in the inner cylindrical wall and a corresponding tab(s) on the disc 16.
In an alternative embodiment, shown in FIG. 7, the disc 16 contains tabs 51 allowing the disc 16 to be guided and held firmly in place against the contact points 47 of pins 46. In this embodiment the inner surface of the cylindrical wall 42 contains slots 53 corresponding to the tabs 51. After the integrated circuit package is inserted into electrical connector 20 and pressed against the resilient electrical contact points 47 of pins 46, the integrated circuit package is rotated clockwise so that the tab 51 is placed under a corresponding lip 55, thereby holding the integrated circuit package in place. The distance between the lip 55 and the pins is selected to cause the proper compression force to be placed against the electrical contact points 47 of pins 46.
Conceivably, the flat circuit element such as the integrated circuit chip could have a circular configuration and be large enough and strong enough so that it would not need to be mounted on the support disc 16. In such case the integrated circuit could be directly inserted into electrical connector 20 if the proper guide were included in the integrated circuit and if the conductors of the integrated circuit corresponded to the electrical contact points 47 of pins 46 of the electrical connector 20.
FIGS. 8 and 9 show two varieties of heat sink alternatives. In FIG. 8 the hole 24 in cap 22 is small enough to hold the disc 16 properly against the electrical contact points 47 of pins 46 and is large enough to permit fins of a heat sink 52 to pass through the. If additional cooling is required, larger fins may be utilized by constructing the heat sink 52 in two parts as shown in FIG. 9. It will be recognized by those skilled in the art that many alternative forms of heat sinks 52 may be utilized in conjunction with the electrical connector 20 of the present invention.
While there has been shown what is considered to be the preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be manifest that many changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the essential spirit and scope of the invention. It is intended, therefore, in the annexed claims to cover all such changes and modifications which fall within the true scope of the invention.

Avi Weisfogel is a dentist who has his own practice in the New Jersey are who just started a GoFundMe fundraiser campaign to help raise money for an organization called Operation Smile. Operation Smile has been helping young children and adolescents receive facial surgeries such as deformities, cleft palates and cleft lips along with other types of mouth abnormalities. Many children aren't able to have the surgery they need, so Operation Smile was founded over thirty years ago to help aid the young children. It was founded by Bill and Kathy Magee in 1984. Their first mission was in the Philippines. Dr.Avi Weisfogel chose Operation Smile because of what they stand for; they ensure that children remain hopeful and don't want them to ever lose hope. Operation Smile travels all over the world and works with local medical offices, government agencies and hospitals to help those in need. It's a non-profit organization that is solely ran off of volunteers and donations. It's an incredible force and service that is offered, and Dr. Weisfogel is delighted to be part of it. He has donated $2000 to get the campaign rolling, and of course hopes to be able to donate quite a bit of money collected from the GoFundMe campaign.
Dr. Weisfogel also started his own company that aligns with his practice called Dental Sleep Masters. It's a program that is dedicated to the education and resources associated with sleep apnea and sleep disorders. The program helps educated dentists offices and their staff developing and eye for what they should be looking for with patients that have symptoms of a sleep disorder. The program gives them the knowledge and comfort to establish a diagnosis and help the patient get better sleep. While many people in the world suffer from undiagnosed sleep apnea, Dr. Weisfogel has dedicated much of his time to ensuring that they are diagnosed correctly and it's corrected with the latest education and technology.
When Dr. Avi Weisfogel isn't busy with his philanthropy work and his own company, he enjoys making hip hop music. You can find his latest tunes on soundcloud.com.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (WTXL) -- Walt Disney World is giving sneak peek of their newest attraction set to open at the end of May.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will officially open May 28, 2014.
The new attraction is a family-style rollercoaster, and is part of the largest expansion of Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland ever done.
"Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is both literally and figuratively the centerpiece of New Fantasyland, so we knew it had to be something special," Staggs said. "The attraction appeals to everyone in the family and provides just the right blend of heart, humor, and thrill while keeping with the charm of this special land."
The ride features what designers call an innovative new ride system that will allow cars to pivot back and forth while going through twists, turns, hills and drops. The ride will also feature new-age animated characters of Snow White and the seven dwarfs. The ride also features music from the classic film.
Here are some fast facts the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at the New Fantasyland at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom theme park:
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, in the Enchanted Forest of New Fantasyland (Magic Kingdom), is a family coaster inspired by the film classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" that takes Walt Disney World Resort guests into the famous mine, glittering with diamonds, rubies, and other precious gems, where the Seven Dwarfs sing happily as they work.
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is almost completely "on stage." With its location in the middle of New Fantasyland, guests aboard the rockin' coaster are afforded amazing views from all angles.
- The footprints of forest creatures, large and small, and the impressions of sticks, stones and acorns are embedded in the dirt path that meanders through the Enchanted Forest, leading to the attraction.
- The Dwarfs cottage is a meticulously detailed representation of the cozy home seen in the classic film, down to the wisteria vine and birdhouse at the front door.
- At the first interactive station in the attraction queue, Doc's note explains the jewel washing game. As the jewels flow by in a wooden trough, or sluice, guests touch and drag them into a tray on the side of the sluice, matching them by color and shape. The trough is about 15 feet long and is accessible from both sides.
- At the third interactive station in the queue, "Vault" is carved into the wooden crosspiece, or lintel, above the doorway. This is a reference to the scene in the film where Dopey opens the vault and throws in a bag of gems, then locks the door with a key. For safekeeping, Dopey hangs the key to the vault on a peg next to the door. The key hangs on a peg next to the entrance to the vault in the queue as well.
- The figures of Grumpy, Doc, Bashful, Sleepy, and Happy, seen in the cottage near the end of the attraction, originally appeared in Snow White's Scary Adventure, a Magic Kingdom attraction now the site of Princess Fairytale Hall. The figures of Snow White, Dopey and Sneezy, in the cottage scene, were created for this attraction.
- The two vultures perched on the jib crane near the mine entrance are styled after the vultures in the film and originally appeared in the Snow White's Scary Adventure attraction.
- The individual mine cars are designed to reflect similar vehicles that appear in the film, handmade of wood by the Dwarfs, shaped with an ax, and used to haul rocks and jewels. Hand-hammered metal bands and nails are used to bind the wood. In the film, the mine cars sit in a cradle that allows them to be tipped to unload their contents. Here, the cradle design allows the cars to swing back and forth as they carry riders along the winding track.
- The innovative, patented ride system for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is an original design developed at Walt Disney Imagineering. It features five-car trains designed to swing independently from side to side as they move along the track. This newly patented design provides a one-of-a-kind ride experience.
- Next to Doc's workstation in the mine, the carved wooden clock is a replica of the one seen in the film with the figures of two miners striking an anvil. As in the film, that motion signals the start of the beloved song, "Heigh-Ho."
- At the jewel washing station, a melody from the classic film can be created by moving from spigot to spigot. There are 12 spigots, corresponding to the notes of the musical scale.
- The jewels seen throughout the mine come in four different sizes and six different colors: red, green, amber, purple, blue and clear.
- The shadows of the Dwarfs marching homeward along the track on the lift inside of the mine were rotoscoped from the scene in the original film where the Dwarfs march across a log bridge, singing "…home from work we go." (Rotoscoping is a technique where the movements of a figure in original live or animated footage are copied, or traced, frame-by-frame).
- At the top of the second lift, guests have a brief moment to enjoy an inspiring view across Fantasyland to Belle's cottage, Beast's Castle above Be Our Guest Restaurant, and beyond. Then, the track drops precipitously, passing under a trestle and looping around the mountain crossing over the same trestle. The vehicle picks up speed as it careens down the mountain, twisting and turning, with its cars swinging back and forth. At the foot of the mountain, the mine train loops back to cross a pool at the bottom of a waterfall.
- In the original tale by the Brothers Grimm, the Dwarfs were unnamed. When Walt Disney and his animators decided to name them to correspond with their character, scores of names were rejected including: Wheezy, Jumpy, Baldy, Hickey, Sniffy, Stuffy, Burpy, Tubby, Shorty, Deafy and Dizzy.
- In the last view of the cottage, around the corner of the far wall, the Wicked Queen can be seen in her disguise as an old hag watching Snow White and the Dwarfs through a cottage window. She turns toward the train as it passes, and cackles wickedly.

This feeder is smaller than I anticipated. However, it is a perfect indoor free mineral feeder for my two ewes and a great creep feeder for our current 7 lambs. The bracket is good and secure. no trouble so far!!
Beverley B
Dissapointed....They mineral feeder does not stay on the bracket as the goats get up under it and push it off. Tried lowering it with the same results...Maybe it will work better as a creep for young kids...
Chris S from South Carolina
Great feeder. Just need to add a lid.
Matt P from TN
another quality premier product. only concern is wished it had a lid. easy to set up and takedown to clean. very sturdy.
Vicky T
I love these wall feeders which are hard to find! I use them for my adult ducks and geese
for both their feed and minerals/kelp meal. I like that you can adjust the drop down rate to accommodate fines or larger pelleted feed or grain. I really like that the feeder sets on a male/female bracket so you can easily remove the feeder for cleaning. I'm definitely getting more!

Hmm, I still remember my pentium ii laptop. I had to literally use ice cubes in a bag to prevent it from over heating. But for a laptop these days, just about any TIM that doesn't harden would do, that of course rules out thermal adhesives, and gallium based liquid metal. I've been using Ceramique 2 on my 2010 laptop for more than 2 years, it works fine, and so far is still in a semi liquid semi solid form I last checked. Only reason I used it was because I just bought it at the time.
