^(1)^	Substantially all of our investments are domiciled in the United States. Certain investments also have international operations.
^(2)^	Par amount is presented for debt investments and the amount includes accumulated payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, as<br>applicable, and is net of repayments, while the number of shares or units owned is presented for equity investments.

---	---

The tax cost basis of investments is $259,682,623 as of September 30, 2024.

The amortized cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premium or discount, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method.

^(4)^	Unless otherwise indicated, all securities are valued using significant unobservable inputs, which are categorized as Level 3 assets<br>under the definition of ASC 820 fair value hierarchy (see Note 4).
^(5)^	Percentage is based on net assets of $160,307,773 as of September 30, 2024.
---	---
^(6)^	Affiliated Investments are defined by the 1940 Act as investments in companies in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% outstanding<br>voting securities or is under common control with such portfolio company.

^(7)^	Control Investments are defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as investments in<br>companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities or maintains greater than 50% of the board representation.
---	---

Note 1. Organization

PhenixFIN Corporation (“PhenixFIN.” the “Company,” “we” and “us”) is an internally-managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company incorporated in Delaware that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) and commenced operations on January 20, 2011. The Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Through December 31, 2020, we were an externally managed company. Since January 1, 2021, we have operated under our present internalized management structure.

The Company has formed and expects to continue to form certain taxable subsidiaries (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”), which are taxed as corporations for federal income tax purposes. These Taxable Subsidiaries allow us to, among other things, hold equity securities of portfolio companies organized as pass-through entities while continuing to satisfy the requirements of a RIC under the Code.

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation. The management team seeks to achieve this objective primarily through making loans, private equity or other investments in privately-held companies. The Company may also make debt, equity or other investments in publicly-traded companies. (These investments may also include investments in other BDCs, closed-end funds or REITs.) We may also pursue other strategic opportunities and invest in other assets or operate other businesses to achieve our investment objective, such as operating and managing an asset-based (gems) lending business and overseeing an insurance business. The portfolio generally consists of senior secured first lien term loans, senior secured second lien term loans, senior secured bonds, preferred equity and common equity. Occasionally, we will receive warrants or other equity participation features which we believe will have the potential to increase total investment returns. Our loan and other debt investments are primarily rated below investment grade or are unrated. Investments in below investment grade securities are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due.

Since January 4, 2021, the common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the trading symbol “PFX.”

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company is an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 946 (“ASC 946”), Financial Services – Investment Companies. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries PhenixFIN Small Business Fund, LP, PhenixFIN SLF Funding I LLC, PhenixFIN Investment Holdings, LLC, PhenixFIN Investment Holdings Omnivere, LLC, PhenixFIN Investment Holdings AAR, LLC, and PhenixFIN Investment Holdings Amvestar, LLC. All references made to the “Company,” “we,” and “us” herein include PhenixFIN Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as stated otherwise. Additionally, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933. Therefore, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of FinancialStatements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents include deposits in a money market account. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions and, at times, such balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we had $7.3 million and $67.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively, none of which is restricted.

Debt Issuance Costs and Deferred FinancingCosts

Debt issuance costs, incurred in connection with unsecured notes (see Note 5), are deferred and amortized over the life of the respective instrument. Deferred financing costs related to the issuance of revolving debt obligations (see Note 5) are deferred and amortized over the life of the respective obligation. Debt issuance costs related to any unsecured notes are presented net against the outstanding debt balance on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferred financing costs related to any credit facilities are presented on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual agreements that provide general indemnifications against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of individual obligations under such agreements. The Company has had no material claims or payments pursuant to such agreements. The Company’s individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on management’s experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums to par value on investments purchased are accreted and amortized into interest income over the life of the respective investment. Loan origination fees, original issue discount (“OID”) and market discounts or premiums are capitalized and amortized into interest income using the effective interest method or straight-line method, as applicable.

The Company holds debt investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. PIK interest is not accrued if the Company does not expect the issuer to be able to pay all principal and interest when due.  For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company earned approximately $0.2 million and $0.8 million in PIK interest, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company earned approximately $0.6 million and $1.0 million in PIK interest, respectively.

---

Amendment and transaction break-up fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are recognized as income when we become entitled to such fees. Exit fees that are receivable upon repayment of a loan or debt security are amortized into interest income over the life of the respective investment. Prepayment penalties received by the Company for debt instruments paid back to the Company prior to the maturity date are recorded as income upon repayment of debt. Administrative agent fees received by the Company are capitalized as deferred revenue and recorded as fee income when the services are rendered. Other income includes fees for providing managerial assistance to our portfolio companies and is recognized as revenue when earned. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, fee income was approximately $684.3 thousand and approximately $822.8 thousand, respectively (see Note 9). For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, fee income was approximately $375.4 thousand and approximately $454.0 thousand, respectively (see Note 9).

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of investment using the specific identification method, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. The Company recognized a realized gain related to restructuring transactions of $0.0 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. No realized gains or losses relating to restructuring transactions occurred during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments as net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

PHENIXFIN CORPORATIONNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsJune 30, 2025(Unaudited)

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

---

Management reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal or interest or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected for possible placement on management’s designation of non-accrual status. Interest receivable is analyzed regularly and may be reserved against when deemed not collectible. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current, although we may make exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. At June 30, 2025, a certain investment in one portfolio company held by the Company was on non-accrual status with a fair value of approximately $0.0 million, or 0.0% of the fair value of our portfolio. At September 30, 2024, certain investments in three portfolio companies held by the Company were on non-accrual status with a combined fair value of approximately $2.4 million, or 1.1% of the fair value of our portfolio.

Investment Classification

The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we would be deemed to “control” a portfolio company if we owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. We refer to such investments in portfolio companies that we “control” as “Control Investments.” Under the 1940 Act, we would be deemed to be an “Affiliated Person” of a portfolio company if we own between 5% and 25% of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities or we are under common control with such portfolio company. We refer to such investments in Affiliated Persons as “Affiliated Investments.”

Valuation of Investments

The Company applies fair value accounting to all of its financial instruments in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as discussed in Note 4. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or multiple broker-dealers or market makers. We weight the use of third-party broker quotations, if any, in determining fair value based on our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer. However, debt investments with remaining maturities within 60 days that are not credit impaired are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by our Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s Valuation Designee, based upon input from management and third-party valuation firms. Because these investments are illiquid and because there may not be any directly comparable companies whose financial instruments have observable market values, these loans are valued using a fundamental valuation methodology, consistent with traditional asset pricing standards, that is objective and consistently applied across all loans and through time.

Investments in investment funds are valued at fair value. Fair values are generally determined utilizing the NAV supplied by, or on behalf of, management of each investment fund, which is net of management and incentive fees or allocations charged by the investment fund and is in accordance with the “practical expedient”, as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share. NAVs received by, or on behalf of, management of each investment fund are based on the fair value of the investment funds’ underlying investments in accordance with policies established by management of each investment fund, as described in each of their financial statements and offering memorandum. If the Company is in the process of the sale of an investment fund, fair value will be determined by actual or estimated sale proceeds.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The methodologies utilized by the Company in estimating the fair value of its investments categorized as Level 3 generally fall into the following two categories:

●	The “Market Approach” uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (that is, similar) assets, liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business.
●	The “Income Approach” converts future amounts (for example, cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (that is, discounted) amount. When the Income Approach is used, the fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about those future amounts.
---	---

The Company has engaged third-party valuation firms (the “Valuation Firms”) to assist it and its Valuation Designee (the Chief Financial Officer) in the valuation of its portfolio investments. The valuation reports generated by the Valuation Firms consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market-based information, including comparable transactions, performance multiples, and movement in yields of debt instruments, among other factors. The Company uses a market yield analysis under the Income Approach or an enterprise model of valuation under the Market Approach, or a combination thereof. In applying the market yield analysis, the value of the Company’s loans are determined based upon inputs such as the coupon rate, current market yield, interest rate spreads of similar securities, the stated value of the loan, and the length to maturity. In applying the enterprise model, the Company uses a waterfall analysis, which takes into account the specific capital structure of the borrower and the related seniority of the instruments within the borrower’s capital structure. To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we weigh some or all of the traditional market valuation methods and factors based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value.

The methodologies and information that the Company utilizes when applying the Market Approach for performing investments include, among other things:

●	valuations of comparable public companies (“Guideline Comparable Approach”);
●	recent sales of private and public comparable companies (“Guideline Comparable Approach”);
---	---
●	recent acquisition prices of the company, debt securities or equity securities (“Recent Arms-Length Transaction”);
---	---
●	external valuations of the portfolio company, offers from third parties to buy the company (“Estimated Sales Proceeds Approach”);
---	---
●	subsequent sales made by the company of its investments (“Expected Sales Proceeds Approach”); and
---	---
●	estimating the value to potential buyers.
---	---

The methodologies and information that the Company utilizes when applying the Income Approach for performing investments include:

●	discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company or securities (Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) Approach); and
●	Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof (Income Approach - Option Model) with respect to the valuation of warrants.
---	---

For non-performing investments, we may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets and liabilities using an expected recovery model (Market Approach

• Expected Recovery Analysis or Estimated Liquidation Proceeds).

19

PHENIXFIN CORPORATIONNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsJune 30, 2025(Unaudited)

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

---

We undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter when valuing investments for which market quotations are not readily available, as described below:

●	Our quarterly valuation process generally begins with each portfolio investment being initially valued by a Valuation Firm;
●	Available third-party market data will be reviewed by Company personnel designated by the Valuation Designee (“Fair Value Personnel”) and the Valuation Firm.
---	---
●	Available portfolio company data and general industry data are then reviewed by the Fair Value Personnel.
---	---
●	Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the Fair Value Personnel.
---	---
●	The Valuation Designee then determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on such discussions, the Company’s Valuation Policy and the Valuation Firms’ final estimated valuations.
---	---
●	The Valuation Designee’s report is then presented to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material. In addition, changes in the market environment (including the impact of pandemics, wars or other events on financial markets), portfolio company performance, and other events may occur over the lives of the investments that may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be materially different than the valuations currently assigned.

---

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts and fair values of our long-term obligations are discussed in Note 5.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

---

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. ASUs not listed were assessed by the Company and either determined to be not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”),” which enhances disclosure requirements about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”). ASU 2023-07, among other things, (i) requires a single segment public entity to provide all of the disclosures as required by Topic 280, (ii) requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources and (iii) provides the ability for a public entity to elect more than one performance measure. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after September 30, 2025 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods presented. The Company has not adopted early and is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”),” which intends to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”)”, which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion for oil and gas companies, within relevant income statement captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, which was released by the FASB in January 2025. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Other than the aforementioned guidance, the Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company has elected, and intends to continue to qualify annually, to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to continue to qualify as a RIC and be eligible for tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of the sum of investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), as defined by the Code, including PIK interest, and net tax exempt interest income (which is the excess of gross tax exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions) for each taxable year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next tax year. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.

The Company is subject to a nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax of 4% on undistributed income if it does not distribute at least 98% of its ordinary income in any calendar year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year and any income realized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which it did not pay federal income tax. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions for excise tax purposes, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. There was no provision for federal excise tax at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. On December 13, 2024, the Company identified that it did not distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for the tax year ended September 30, 2023. The Company filed Form 8927 on December 16, 2024 notifying the IRS. On February 6, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a special dividend in the amount of $1.43 per share for a record date of February 17, 2025 and paid on February 19, 2025.

The Company’s Taxable Subsidiaries accrue income taxes payable based on the applicable corporate rates on the unrealized gains generated by the investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $0.3 million. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not record a deferred tax liability on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in provision for deferred taxes is included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain/(loss), net on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a change in provision for deferred taxes, net, on the unrealized (appreciation)/depreciation on investments in the amount of $55,511. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a change in provision for deferred taxes, net, on the unrealized (appreciation)/depreciation on investments in the amount of $(274,125). For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not record a change in provision for deferred taxes, net, on the unrealized (appreciation)/depreciation on investments.

As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $14.9 million and $20.9 million, respectively, consisting primarily of net operating losses and net unrealized losses on the investments held within its Taxable Subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company has booked a valuation allowance of $13.9 million and $20.0 million, respectively, against its deferred tax asset.

PHENIXFIN CORPORATIONNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsJune 30, 2025(Unaudited)

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

---

ICTI generally differs from net investment income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. The Company may be required to recognize ICTI in certain circumstances in which it does not receive cash. For example, if the Company holds debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount, the Company must include in ICTI each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by the Company in the same taxable year. The Company may also have to include in ICTI other amounts that it has not yet received in cash, such as 1) PIK interest income and 2) interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in the Company’s ICTI for the year of accrual, the Company may be required to make a distribution to its stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, even though the Company will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. ICTI also excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no material uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2025. Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal. The Company’s federal and state tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state tax authorities.

---

Segments

The Company invests in portfolio companies that operate in various industries. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its investment relationships. However, because each of these investment relationships has similar business and economic characteristics, they have been aggregated into a single investment segment. All applicable segment disclosures are included in or can be derived from the Company’s financial statements. See Note 3 for further information.

Company Investment Risk, Concentration of CreditRisk, and Liquidity Risk

The Company has broad discretion in making investments. Investments generally consist of debt instruments that may be affected by business, financial market or legal uncertainties. Prices of investments may be volatile, and a variety of factors that are inherently difficult to predict, such as domestic or international economic and political developments, may significantly affect the results of the Company’s activities and the value of its investments. In addition, the value of the Company’s portfolio may fluctuate as the general level of interest rates fluctuate.

The value of the Company’s investments in loans may be detrimentally affected to the extent, among other things, that a borrower defaults on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted loan, observable secondary or primary market yields for similar instruments issued by comparable companies increase materially or risk premiums required in the market between smaller companies, such as our borrowers, and those for which market yields are observable increase materially.

The Company’s assets may, at any time, include securities and other financial instruments or obligations that are illiquid or thinly traded, making purchase or sale of such securities and financial instruments at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult. Furthermore, the sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely difficult to value any such investments accurately.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 820 for measuring the fair value of portfolio investments. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. The Company’s fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Financial investments recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the investment as of the measurement date. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from this hierarchy, and certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The three levels are defined below:

●	Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
●	Level 2 - Valuations based on 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 overall fair value measurement.
---	---

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ a valuation policy approved by the board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820 (see Note 2). Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, in determining fair value.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of our investments, by major class according to the fair value hierarchy, as of June 30, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

	Fair Value Hierarchy as of June 30, 2025

Net change in unrealized gain (loss) for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 included in earnings related to Level 3 investments still held as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $(4.6) million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Purchases and other adjustments to cost include purchases of new investments at cost, effects of refinancing/restructuring, accretion/amortization of income from discount/premium on debt securities, and PIK.

Sales represent net proceeds received from investments sold, including any repayments or maturities.

A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the Level 3 category as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, two investments were transferred out of Level 3. During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, five investments were transferred out of Level 3.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and derivative investments are market yields. Increases in market yields would result in lower fair value measurements.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity/warrants investments are comparable company multiples of revenue or EBITDA for the latest twelve months (“LTM”), next twelve months (“NTM”) or a reasonable period a market participant would consider. Increases in EBITDA multiples in isolation would result in higher fair value measurement.

Note 5. Borrowings

As a BDC, we are generally only allowed to employ leverage to the extent that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after giving effect to such leverage. The amount of leverage that we employ at any time depends on our assessment of the market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.

However, in March 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act modified the 1940 Act by allowing a BDC to increase the maximum amount of leverage it may incur from 200% to 150% of asset coverage, if certain requirements under the 1940 Act are met. Under the 1940 Act, we are allowed to increase our leverage capacity if stockholders representing at least a majority of the votes cast, when a quorum is present, approve a proposal to do so. If we receive stockholder approval, we would be allowed to increase our leverage capacity on the first day after such approval. Alternatively, the 1940 Act allows the majority of our independent directors to approve an increase in our leverage capacity, and such approval would become effective after the one-year anniversary of such approval. In either case, we would be required to make certain disclosures on our website and in SEC filings regarding, among other things, the receipt of approval to increase our leverage, our leverage capacity and usage, and risks related to leverage. No approval was requested or obtained and the Company is still subject to the 200% requirement.

As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company’s asset coverage was 207.2% and 216.8%, respectively, after giving effect to leverage and therefore the Company’s asset coverage was greater than 200%, the minimum asset coverage requirement applicable presently to the Company under the 1940 Act.

Credit Facility

On December 15, 2022, the Company entered into a 3 year $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Woodforest National Bank (“Woodforest’). Woodforest is the administrative agent, sole bookrunner and sole lead arranger. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of December 15, 2025.

On January 17, 2023, the Company borrowed $23.2 million under the Credit Facility and used these proceeds to redeem $22.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the issued and outstanding 2023 Notes, comprising all issued and outstanding 2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes were redeemed at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon from September 30, 2022 through, but excluding January 17, 2023 (the “Redemption Date”).

On February 21, 2024 (the “First Amendment Effective Date”), in order to increase the size of the Credit Facility, the parties to the Credit Facility amended the terms of the Credit Facility, effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment increased the principal amount of loan available under the Credit Facility by $12.5 million to $62.5 million. All other material terms of the Credit Facility remain unchanged.

On August 5, 2024 (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”), in order to increase the size of the Credit Facility, the parties to the Credit Facility amended the Credit Facility, effective as of the Second Amendment Effective Date (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment increased the principal amount of loan available under the Credit Facility by $25 million to $87.5 million. All other material terms of the Credit Facility remain unchanged.

On April 17, 2025 (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”), in order to extend the term and increase the size of the Credit Facility, the parties to the Credit Facility amended the terms of the Credit Facility, effective as of the Third Amendment Effective Date (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment increased the principal amount of the loan available under the Credit Facility by $12.5 million to $100.0 million (with potential access to up to an additional $50.0 million pursuant to an uncommitted accordion provision) and appointed BankUnited, N.A. to assume all agency and syndication responsibilities from the prior agent and lenders. Outstanding loans under the terms of the Amendment bear a monthly interest rate ranging from ABR + 1.35% to ABR + 1.75% for any alternative base rate loans and from Term SOFR + 2.35% to Term SOFR + 2.75% for any term benchmark loans based on the total debt to tangible net worth ratio. The Amendment also extended the term of the credit facility to April 17, 2030, five years from the Third Amendment Effective Date. Other material terms remain substantially unchanged.

Under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities, including, without limitation, covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) maintaining a certain minimum stockholders’ equity, (e) maintaining a ratio of total assets to total indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) of not less than 2.0:1.0, (f) limitations on pledging certain unencumbered assets, and (g) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that prohibit liens on certain properties of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the documents governing the Credit Facility. Amounts available to borrow under the Credit Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are also subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets (based on their value as determined pursuant to the Credit Facility) that are pledged as collateral. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance in all respects with the terms of the Credit Facility.

Fair Value of Debt Obligations

The fair values of our debt obligations are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the 2028 Notes, which are publicly traded, is based upon closing market quotes as of the measurement date. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Notes are deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, as defined in Note 4. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the 2028 Promissory Note is deemed to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as defined in Note 4. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Credit Facility is deemed to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as defined in Note 4.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2028 Notes are reported on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a direct deduction from the face amount of the 2028 Notes. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, debt issuance costs related to the 2023 Notes and the 2028 Note were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan

On May 9, 2022, the board of directors of the Company adopted the PhenixFIN 2022 Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (the “CIP”) pursuant to the recommendation by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. The CIP provides for performance-based cash awards to key employees of the Company, as approved by the Compensation Committee, based on the achievement of pre-established financial goals for the approved performance period. The performance goals may be expressed as one or a combination of net asset value of the Company, net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock, changes in the market price of shares of the Company’s common stock, individual performance metrics and/or such other goals and objectives the Committee considers relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the CIP.

In connection with the approval of the CIP, the Compensation Committee in April 2022, approved awards for the three-year performance period commencing on October 1, 2021 and ending on September 30, 2024 (the “2022 LTIP Plan”). Each participant is eligible to receive an amount of cash equal to a percentage of the target award amount set forth above based on the factors described above. The Compensation Committee, in approving the awards, evaluated each Performance Goal separately.

In December 2023, pursuant to the CIP, the Compensation Committee approved awards for Mr. Lorber and Ms. McMillan for the three-year performance period commencing on October 1, 2023 and ending on September 30, 2026 (the “2024 LTIP Plan”). Each participant is eligible to receive an amount of cash equal to a percentage of their target award amount set forth above based on the factors described above. The Compensation Committee, in approving the awards, evaluated each Performance Goal separately.

In December 2024, pursuant to the CIP, the Compensation Committee approved awards for Mr. Lorber and Ms. McMillan for the three-year performance period commencing on October 1, 2024 and ending on September 30, 2027 (the “2025 LTIP Plan”). Each participant is eligible to receive an amount of cash equal to a percentage of their target award amount set forth above based on the factors described above. The threshold, target, and maximum performance levels are structured similar to those of the 2022 LTIP Plan.

Note 11. Earnings Per Share

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260 - Earnings per Share, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive common shares as of June 30, 2025.

Note 13. Dividends

Any dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Any amounts to be paid out as a dividend are determined by our board of directors.

We have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a cash dividend or other distribution, each stockholder that has not “opted out” of our dividend reinvestment plan will have its dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock rather than receiving cash dividends. Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.

On February 6, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $1.43 per share. This dividend was paid on February 19, 2025 to stockholders of record as of February 17, 2025. The dividends declared during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 were derived from net investment income, determined on a tax basis.

We have based the forward-looking statements included in this report on information available to us on the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements, and future results could differ materially from historical performance. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we have filed or in the future may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including annual reports on Form 10-K, registration statements on Form N-2, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.

Global Events and Market Volatility

Periods of market volatility have occurred and could continue to occur in response to pandemics or other events outside of our control, including terrorist attacks, acts of war, natural disasters, public health crises or similar events. These types of events have adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect operating results for us and for our portfolio companies.

The large-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022 resulted in sanctions and market disruptions, including declines in regional and global stock markets, unusual volatility in global commodity markets and significant devaluations of Russian currency. The extent and duration of the military action are impossible to predict but could be significant. Market disruption caused by the Russian military action, and any counter measures or responses thereto (including international sanctions, a downgrade in a country’s credit rating, purchasing and financing restrictions, boycotts, tariffs, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, cyberattacks and espionage) could continue to have severe adverse impacts on regional and/or global securities and commodities markets, including markets for oil and natural gas. These impacts may include reduced market liquidity, distress in credit markets, further disruption of global supply chains, increased risk of inflation, and limited access to investments in certain international markets and/or issuers. In addition, the current conflict in the Middle East and terrorist acts may cause significant volatility in the markets and/or market disruptions.

The extent and duration of these military actions, conflicts and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but have been and could continue to be substantial, and any such market disruptions could affect our portfolio companies’ operations. As a result, our portfolio investments could decline in value or our valuation of them could become uncertain.

We have evaluated subsequent events from June 30, 2025 through the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. However, as the discussion in this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relates to the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025, the analysis contained herein may not fully account for market event impacts. As of June 30, 2025, the Company valued its portfolio investments in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) based on the facts and circumstances known by the Company at that time, or reasonably expected to be known at that time. Due to the overall volatility that market events may have caused during the months following our most recent valuation (as of June 30, 2025), any valuations conducted now or in the future in conformity with U.S. GAAP could result in a lower fair value of our portfolio.

40

Interest Rate Environment

In the past, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from our performance to the extent we are exposed to such interest rates and/or volatility. In periods of rising interest rates, such as the current interest rate environment, to the extent we borrow money subject to a floating interest rate, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income. Further, rising interest rates could also adversely affect our performance if such increases cause our borrowing costs to rise at a rate in excess of the rate that our investments yield. Further, rising interest rates could also adversely affect our performance if we hold investments with floating interest rates, subject to specified minimum interest rates (such as a SOFR floor), while at the same time engaging in borrowings subject to floating interest rates not subject to such minimums. In such a scenario, rising interest rates may increase our interest expense, even though our interest income from investments is not increasing in a corresponding manner as a result of such minimum interest rates.

If general interest rates rise, there is a risk that the portfolio companies in which we hold floating rate securities will be unable to pay escalating interest amounts, which could result in a default under their loan documents with us. Rising interest rates could also cause portfolio companies to shift cash from other productive uses to the payment of interest, which may have a material adverse effect on their business and operations and could, over time, lead to increased defaults. In addition, rising interest rates may increase pressure on us to provide fixed rate loans to our portfolio companies, which could adversely affect our net investment income, as increases in our cost of borrowed funds would not be accompanied by increased interest income from such fixed-rate investments.

A change in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to a change in the interest rates we receive on many of our debt investments.

Overview

We are an internally-managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, we have elected, and intend to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Through December 31, 2020, we were an externally managed company. Since January 1, 2021, we have operated under our present internalized management structure.

We commenced operations and completed our initial public offering on January 20, 2011. Under our internalized management structure, our activities are managed by our senior professionals and are supervised by our board of directors, of which a majority of the members are independent of us.

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation. The management team seeks to achieve this objective primarily through making loans, private equity or other investments in privately-held companies. The Company may also make debt, equity or other investments in publicly-traded companies. These investments may also include investments in other BDCs, closed-end funds or REITs. We may also pursue other strategic opportunities and invest in other assets or operate other businesses to achieve our investment objective, such as operating and managing an asset-based lending business and overseeing an insurance business. The portfolio generally consists of senior secured first lien term loans, senior secured second lien term loans, senior secured bonds, preferred equity and common equity. Occasionally, we will receive warrants or other equity participation features which we believe will have the potential to increase total investment returns. Our loan and other debt investments are primarily rated below investment grade or are unrated. Investments in below investment grade securities are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due.

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. In addition, we are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% (or 150% if, pursuant to the 1940 Act, certain requirements are met) after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. To maintain our RIC tax treatment, we must meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to maintain our RIC tax treatment, we must timely distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, for the taxable year.

41

Revenues

We generate revenue in the form of interest income on the debt that we hold and dividends and capital gains, if any, on our equity investments that we may acquire in portfolio companies. We invest our assets primarily in privately held companies with enterprise or asset values between $25 million and $250 million and generally focus on investment sizes of $10 million to $50 million. We believe that pursuing opportunities of this size offers several benefits including reduced competition, a larger investment opportunity set and the ability to minimize the impact of financial intermediaries. We expect our debt investments to bear interest at either a fixed or floating rate. Interest on debt will be payable generally either monthly or quarterly. In some cases our debt investments may provide for a portion of the interest to be PIK. To the extent interest is PIK, it will be payable through the increase of the principal amount of the obligation by the amount of interest due on the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of such obligation. The principal amount of the debt and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance or investment management services and possibly consulting fees. Any such fees will be recognized as earned.

Expenses

Under our internally managed structure, we bear all costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including those relating to:

●	our organization and continued corporate existence;
●	calculating our NAV (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firms);
---	---

Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan

On May 9, 2022, the board of directors of the Company adopted the PhenixFIN 2022 Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (the “CIP”) pursuant to the recommendation by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. The CIP provides for performance-based cash awards to key employees of the Company, as approved by the Compensation Committee, based on the achievement of pre-established financial goals for the approved performance period. The performance goals may be expressed as one or a combination of net asset value of the Company, net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock, changes in the market price of shares of the Company’s common stock, individual performance metrics and/or such other goals and objectives the Committee considers relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the CIP.

In connection with the approval of the CIP, the Compensation Committee in April 2022 approved awards for the three-year performance period commencing on October 1, 2021 and ending on September 30, 2024 (the “2022 LTIP Plan”). Each participant is eligible to receive an amount of cash equal to 0%-200% of the target award set forth in the table below (“Target Performance Award”), based on the achievement of net asset value (“NAV”) and NAV per share goals (weighted at 30% and 70%, respectively) as of the end of the performance period (the “Performance Goals”). Performance is evaluated separately for each Performance Goal. No payment is made with respect to a Performance Goal if a threshold level of performance is not achieved. Each Performance Goal is subject to (i) a threshold level of performance at which a percentage of the Target Performance Award attributable to that Performance Goal may be paid and below which no payment is made pursuant to an award, (ii) a target level of performance at which 100% of the Target Performance Award attributable to that Performance Goal may be paid and (iii) a maximum level of performance, at which 200% of the Target Performance Award attributable to that Performance Goal may be paid, in each case subject to such other terms and conditions of an award. Between threshold, target and maximum performance levels for each Performance Goal, the portion of that award attributed to the Performance Goals shall be interpolated in a linear progression. On September 30, 2024, the performance cycle for the 2022 LTIP Plan ended. Based on achievement of the Performance Goals, Mr. Lorber received $1,403,530 and Ms. McMillan received $599,260 pursuant to the 2022 LTIP Plan awards (the “2022 Awards”).

---

In December 2022, pursuant to the CIP, the Compensation Committee approved awards for Mr. Lorber and Ms. McMillan for the three-year performance period commencing on October 1, 2022 and ending on September 30, 2025 (the “2023 LTIP Plan”). Each participant is eligible to receive an amount of cash equal to a percentage of the target award amount set forth above based on the factors described above. The Compensation Committee, in approving the awards, evaluated each Performance Goal separately.

In December 2023, pursuant to the CIP, the Compensation Committee approved awards for Mr. Lorber and Ms. McMillan for the three-year performance period commencing on October 1, 2023 and ending on September 30, 2026 (the “2024 LTIP Plan”). Each participant is eligible to receive an amount of cash equal to a percentage of their target award amount set forth above based on the factors described above. The Compensation Committee, in approving the awards, evaluated each Performance Goal separately.

In December 2024, pursuant to the CIP, the Compensation Committee approved awards for Mr. Lorber and Ms. McMillan for the three-year performance period commencing on October 1, 2024 and ending on September 30, 2027 (the “2025 LTIP Plan”). Each participant is eligible to receive an amount of cash equal to a percentage of their target award amount set forth above based on the factors described above. The threshold, target, and maximum performance levels are structured similar to those of the 2022 LTIP Plan. The Compensation Committee, in approving the awards, evaluated each Performance Goal separately.

The Target Performance Award for each executive officer for the 2022 LTIP Plan, 2023 LTIP Plan, and the 2024 LTIP Plan is set forth in the table below:

Name and Title	Dollar Value of Target Award
David Lorber, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer	$	890,000
Ellida McMillan, Chief Financial Officer		380,000

The Target Performance Award for the 2025 LTIP Plan for each of Mr. Lorber and Ms. McMillan is $1,000,000 and $425,000, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an expense of $275,342 and $905,510 respectively, for these awards. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an expense of $684,735 and $1,494,425, respectively, for these awards.

2	Investments that are performing within expectations, with risks that are neutral or favorable compared to risks at the time of origination. All new loans are rated ’2’.
3	Investments that are performing below expectations and that require closer monitoring, but where no loss of interest, dividend or principal is expected. Companies rated ’3’ may be out of compliance with financial covenants, however, loan payments are generally not past due.
4	Investments that are performing below expectations and for which risk has increased materially since origination. Some loss of interest or dividend is expected but no loss of principal. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).
5	Investments that are performing substantially below expectations and whose risks have increased substantially since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Some loss of principal is expected.

Net Realized Gains/Losses from Investments

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of an investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $(12.0) million of net realized losses on our portfolio investments. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $(11.9) million of net realized losses on our portfolio investments. The net realized losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were due to the realized losses of $10.3 million on Black Angus Steakhouses, LLC, $1.0 million on Lighting Science Group Corporation, and $0.7 million on Velocity Pooling Vehicle, LLC. The net realized losses for nine months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily due to the realized losses of $10.3 million on Black Angus Steakhouses, LLC, $1.9 million on Point.360, $1.0 million on Lighting Science Group Corporation, and $0.7 million on Velocity Pooling Vehicle LLC, offset by a realized gain on PHH Mortgage Corp. for $0.8 million and realized gains on Altisource S.A.R.L., CB&L Associates Holdco I, LLC, and All Around Roustabout, LLC of $0.7 million.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $8.7 million and $7.1 million of realized gains, respectively on our portfolio investments. The realized gains were primarily due to a realized gain on Maritime Wireless Holdings for $7.0 million and a realized gain on Kemmerer Operations, LLC for $8.5 million, offset by a loss on the sale of 1888 Industrial Services for $8.8 million.

Net Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation onInvestments

Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments reflects the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had $9.3 million of net unrealized gains. The net unrealized appreciation resulted from the reversal of the unrealized loss on Black Angus Steakhouses, LLC for $9.1 million, Lighting Science Group Corporation for $1.0 million, and Velocity Pooling Vehicle, LLC for $0.7 million as well as unrealized gains on ECC Capital Corporation for $1.4 million, offset by unrealized losses on JFL-NGS-WCS Partners, LLC of $1.5 million and unrealized losses on Power Stop of $1.1 million.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we had $8.5 million of net unrealized gains. The net unrealized appreciation resulted from the reversal of the unrealized loss on Black Angus Steakhouses, LLC for $8.2 million, Lighting Science Group Corporation for $1.0 million, and Velocity Pooling Vehicle, LLC for $0.7 million, offset by unrealized losses on NVTN LLC of $1.7 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had $8.1 million of net unrealized losses. The net unrealized depreciation resulted from the reversal of the unrealized gain on Kemmerer Operations, LLC for $8.0 million and unrealized depreciation on ECC Capital Corp. for $1.2 million, offset by unrealized appreciation on JFL-NGS-WGS Partners, LLC for $1.1 million.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we had $1.1 million of net unrealized gains. The net unrealized appreciation resulted from the reversal of the unrealized loss on 1888 Industrial Services and unrealized appreciation primarily on Chimera Investment Corporation, FST Holdings Parent LLC, Power Stop LLC, and PHH Mortgage Corporation, offset by the reversal of the unrealized gain on Maritime Wireless Holdings and Kemmerer Operations, LLC.

Provision for Deferred Taxes

Certain consolidated subsidiaries of ours are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. These taxable subsidiaries are not consolidated with the Company for income tax purposes, but are consolidated for GAAP purposes, and may generate income tax liabilities or assets from temporary differences in the recognition of items for financial reporting and income tax purposes at the subsidiaries. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a change in provision for deferred taxes, net, on the unrealized (appreciation)/depreciation on investments in the amount of $55,511. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a change in provision for deferred taxes, net, on the unrealized (appreciation)/depreciation on investments in the amount of $(274,125).

Changes in Net Assets from Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $(1.5) million compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Based on 2,017,330 and 2,019,786 weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, our per share net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $(0.74) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and $1.29 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $0.1 million compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $12.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. Based on 2,018,962 and 2,047,127 weighted average common shares outstanding for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.03 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and $6.11 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and CapitalResources

As a RIC, we distribute substantially all of our net income to our stockholders and have an ongoing need to raise additional capital for investment purposes. To fund growth, we have a number of alternatives available to increase capital, including raising equity, increasing debt, and funding from operational cash flow.

Our liquidity and capital resources historically have been generated primarily from the net proceeds of public offerings of common stock, advances from the Credit Facility and net proceeds from the issuance of notes as well as cash flows from operations. In the future, we may generate cash from future offerings of securities, future borrowings and cash flows from operations, including interest earned from the temporary investment of cash in U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. Our primary use of funds is investments in our targeted asset classes, cash distributions to our stockholders, and other general corporate purposes.

As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we had $7.3 million and $67.6 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents.

In order to maintain our RIC tax treatment under the Code, we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our taxable income, but we may also elect to periodically spill over certain excess undistributed taxable income from one tax year into the next tax year. In addition, as a BDC, for each taxable year we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities, which include borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200% (or 150% if, pursuant to the 1940 Act, certain requirements are met). This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow.

On January 11, 2021, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a share repurchase program. On February 9, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of the amount authorized for repurchase under the Company’s share repurchase program from $15 million to $25 million. On February 8, 2023, the Board of Directors approved the further expansion of the amount authorized for repurchase under the Company’s share repurchase program from $25 million to $35 million. Under the share repurchase program, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 719,840 shares of common stock through June 30, 2025, or 26.4% of shares outstanding as of the program’s inception, with a total cost of $28.9 million. The total remaining amount authorized under the expanded share repurchase program at June 30, 2025 was approximately $6.1 million.

Credit Facility

On December 15, 2022, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries executed a three-year, $50 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with WoodForest Bank, N.A. (“WoodForest”), Valley National Bank, and Axiom Bank, (collectively, the “Lenders”). WoodForest is the administrative agent, sole bookrunner and sole lead arranger. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of December 15, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, there was $87.0 million outstanding borrowings by the Company under the Credit Facility.

48

Outstanding loans under the Credit Facility bear a monthly interest rate at Term SOFR + 2.90%. The Company is also subject to a commitment fee of 0.25%, which shall accrue on the actual daily amount of the undrawn portion of the revolving credit. The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Facility contains customary events of default for credit facilities of this type, including (without limitation): nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts after a stated grace period; inaccuracy of material representations and warranties; change of control; violations of covenants, subject in certain cases to stated cure periods; and certain bankruptcies and liquidations. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Company may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.

On February 21, 2024 (the “First Amendment Effective Date”), in order to increase the size of the Credit Facility, the parties to the Credit Facility amended the terms of the Credit Facility, effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment increased the principal amount of loan available under the Credit Facility by $12.5 million to $62.5 million. All other material terms of the Credit Facility remain unchanged.

On August 5, 2024 (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”), in order to increase the size of the Credit Facility, the parties to the Credit Facility amended the Credit Facility, effective as of the Second Amendment Effective Date (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment increased the principal amount of loan available under the Credit Facility by $25 million to $87.5 million. All other material terms of the Credit Facility remain unchanged.

On April 17, 2025 (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”), in order to extend the term and increase the size of the Credit Facility, the parties to the Credit Facility amended the terms of the Credit Facility, effective as of the Third Amendment Effective Date (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment increased the principal amount of the loan available under the Credit Facility by $12.5 million to $100.0 million (with potential access to up to an additional $50,000,000 pursuant to an uncommitted accordion provision) and appointed BankUnited, N.A. to assume all agency and syndication responsibilities from the prior agent and lenders. Outstanding loans under the terms of the Amendment bear a monthly interest rate ranging from ABR + 1.35% to ABR + 1.75% for any alternative base rate loans and from Term SOFR + 2.35% to Term SOFR + 2.75% for any term benchmark loans based on the total debt to tangible net worth ratio. The Amendment also extended the term of the credit facility to April 17, 2030, five years from the Effective Date. Other material terms remain substantially unchanged.

As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we had commitments under loan and financing agreements to fund up to $4.7 million to five portfolio companies and $1.6 million to two portfolio companies, respectively. These commitments are primarily composed of senior secured term loans and revolvers, and the determination of their fair value is included in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The commitments are generally subject to the borrowers meeting certain criteria such as compliance with covenants and certain operational metrics. The terms of the borrowings and financings subject to commitment are comparable to the terms of other loan and equity securities in our portfolio. A summary of the composition of the unfunded commitments as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 is shown in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Distributions

We have elected, and intend to continue to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, in any taxable year with respect to which we timely distribute at least 90 percent of the sum of our (i) investment company taxable income (which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and (ii) net tax exempt interest income (which is the excess of our gross tax exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions), we (but not our stockholders) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on investment company taxable income and net capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders. We intend to distribute annually all or substantially all of such income, but we may also elect to periodically spill over certain excess undistributed taxable income from one tax year to the next tax year. To the extent that we retain our net capital gains or any investment company taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax. We may choose to retain our net capital gains or any investment company taxable income, and pay the associated federal corporate income tax or excise tax, described below.

50

Amounts not distributed on a timely basis in accordance with a calendar year distribution requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax payable by us. To avoid this tax, we must distribute (or be deemed to have distributed) during each calendar year an amount equal to the sum of:

1)	at least 98.0% of our ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for the calendar year;
2)	at least 98.2% of the amount by which our capital gains exceed our capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period ending on October 31st of the calendar year; and
---	---
3)	income realized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which we did not pay federal income tax.
---	---

While we intend to distribute any income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of the 4% U.S. federal excise tax, sufficient amounts of our taxable income and capital gains may not be distributed to avoid entirely the imposition of the tax. In that event, we will be liable for the tax only on the amount by which we do not meet the foregoing distribution requirement.

To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for a taxable year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our ordinary income or gains.

We have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a cash dividend or other distribution, each stockholder that has not “opted out” of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock rather than receiving cash dividends. Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.

On May 9, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a special dividend in the amount of $2,645,925. This dividend was paid on June 10, 2024 to stockholders of record as of May 27, 2024. On February 6, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a special dividend in the amount of $2,888,283 for a record date of February 17, 2025 and paid on February 19, 2025.

Related Party Transactions

We have adopted a formal business code of conduct and ethics that governs the conduct of our CEO, CFO, chief accounting officer (which role is currently fulfilled by our CFO) and controller (Covered Officers). Our officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by both the 1940 Act and the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires that all Covered Officers promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between an individual’s personal and professional relationships. Pursuant to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, each Covered Officer must disclose to the Company’s CCO any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict. Any approvals or waivers under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics must be considered by the disinterested directors. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a related party transaction with NVTN LLC whereby the $11.9 million of equity of Maritime Wireless Holdings LLC was transferred to NVTN LLC.

The Company has entered into contracts with its affiliated portfolio companies, The National Security Group (and certain of its affiliates) and ECC Capital Corporation, pursuant to which the Company (and/or certain of its subsidiaries) provide such affiliated portfolio companies certain services, including managing a portion of their investment assets. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $0.6 million of fee income related to these contracts.

Pledge and Security Agreement

In connection with the Credit Facility discussed in Note 5, the Company has entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement with the Lenders pursuant to which the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries have pledged all their assets, including the cash and securities held in the Company’s custodial account with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as collateral for any borrowings made by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Lenders have the typical rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code, including the right to foreclose on the collateral pledged by the Company.

51

On February 21, 2024, the Pledge and Security Agreement was amended to (i) release and terminate the security interest in the equity interest of FlexFIN, LLC, pledged by PhenixFIN Investment Holdings LLC, (ii) grant a security interest in the membership interest of FlexFIN Holdco LLC, pledged by PhenixFIN Investment Holdings LLC, and (iii) reflect equity interests of certain subsidiaries held by the Company and its subsidiary in the exhibits.

On August 5, 2024, the Pledge and Security Agreement was further amended to join an additional subsidiary of the Company as a Guarantor and grant a security interest in the equity interest of such additional subsidiary.

On September 30, 2024, the Pledge and Security Agreement was further amended to exclude assets owned by excluded subsidiaries from the collateral package and reflect the equity interest of an additional subsidiary of the Company in the exhibits.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

The Company follows ASC 820 for measuring the fair value of portfolio investments. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. The Company’s fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Financial investments recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the investment as of the measurement date. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from this hierarchy, and certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The three levels are defined below:

●	Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
●	Level 2 - Valuations based on 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 overall fair value measurement.
---	---

We value investments for which market quotations are readily available at their market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or multiple broker-dealers or market makers. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes, if any, in determining fair value based on our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer. However, a readily available market value is not expected to exist for many of the investments in our portfolio, and we value these portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors under our valuation policy and process. We may seek pricing information with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value such investments.

52

Valuation methods may include comparisons of financial ratios of the portfolio companies that issued such private equity securities to peer companies that are public, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private equity valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

In December 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, which permits a BDC’s board of directors to designate its executive officer(s) as a valuation designee to determine the fair value of its investment portfolio, subject to the oversight of the board. The Board has approved policies and procedures pursuant to Rule 2a-5 and has designated Ellida McMillan, the Company’s CFO, to serve as the Board’s valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”), subject to the Board’s oversight, effective September 8, 2022.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board oversees and our Valuation Designee undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

●	Our quarterly valuation process generally begins with each portfolio investment being initially valued by a Valuation Firm;
●	Available third-party market data will be reviewed by Company personnel designated by the Valuation Designee (“Fair Value Personnel”) and the Valuation Firm.
---	---
●	Available portfolio company data and general industry data are then reviewed by the Fair Value Personnel.
---	---
●	Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the Fair Value Personnel.
---	---
●	The Valuation Designee then determines the fair<br> value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on such discussions, the Company’s Valuation Policy<br> and the Valuation Firms’ final estimated valuations.
---	---
●	The Valuation Designee’s report is then presented to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee.

In following these approaches, the types of factors that are taken into account in fair value pricing investments include available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables; applicable market yields and multiples; security covenants; call protection provisions; information rights; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments; the portfolio company’s earnings and discounted cash flows; the markets in which the portfolio company does business; comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public; comparable merger and acquisition transactions; and the principal market and enterprise values.

Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates made by management. The notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policies are as follows:

*Investments and Related Investment Income:*We account for investment transactions on a trade-date basis and interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recorded on an accrual basis. For investments with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we will not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not collectible. Origination, closing and/or commitment fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are recognized as income when the investment transaction closes. Other fees are capitalized as deferred revenue and recorded into income over the respective period. Prepayment penalties received by the Company for debt instruments paid back to the Company prior to the maturity date are recorded as income upon receipt. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We report changes in the fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-accrual: We place loans on non-accrual status when principal and interest payments are past due by 90 days or more, or when there is reasonable doubt that we will collect principal or interest. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in our management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. At June 30, 2025, a certain investment in one portfolio company held by the Company was on non-accrual status with a fair value of approximately $0.0 million, or 0% of the fair value of our portfolio. At September 30, 2024, certain investments in three portfolio companies held by the Company were on non-accrual status with a combined fair value of approximately $2.4 million, or 1.1% of the fair value of our portfolio. ****

Federal Income Taxes

The Company has elected, and intends to continue to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and it intends to operate in a manner so as to maintain its RIC tax treatment. To do so, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and must timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of the sum of investment company taxable income (“ICTI”) including PIK, as defined by the Code, and net tax exempt interest income (which is the excess of our gross tax exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions) for each taxable year. The Company will be subject to a nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax of 4% on undistributed income if it does not distribute at least 98% of its net ordinary income for any calendar year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year and any income realized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which it did not pay federal income tax. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions for excise tax purposes, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.

Because federal income tax requirements differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax requirements may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative DisclosuresAbout Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect both our cost of funding and our interest income from portfolio investments and cash and cash equivalents. Our investment income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including SOFR, to the extent our debt investments include floating interest rates. In the future, we expect other loans in our portfolio will have floating interest rates. In 2023, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates and has indicated additional interest rate increases may come. In addition, U.S. and global capital markets and credit markets have experienced a higher level of stress due to the higher interest rate environment, pandemics, and other market events, which has resulted in an increase in the level of volatility across such markets. We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended September 30, 2024, we did not engage in hedging activities.

As of June 30, 2025, 53.1% of our income-bearing investment portfolio bore interest based on floating rates based upon fair value. The substantial majority of this component of our portfolio bore interest based on a SOFR reference rate. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in the applicable reference rates are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over the reference rates that we earn on any portfolio investments, a decrease in our operating expenses, including with respect to any income incentive fee, or a decrease in the interest rate of our floating interest rate liabilities tied to reference rates. In contrast, a rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments we hold and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we hold. In addition, a rise in interest rates may increase the likelihood that a portfolio company defaults on a loan. However, many of our variable rate investments provide for an interest rate floor, which may prevent our interest income from increasing until benchmark interest rates increase beyond a threshold amount. The composition of our floating rate debt investments by cash interest rate floor as of June 30, 2025 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

	June 30, 2025
SOFR and LIBOR Floor	Fair Value		% of Floating Rate Portfolio
Under 1%	$	14,120		12.9	%
1% to under 2%		37,032		33.7
2% to under 3%		2,655		2.4
3% to under 4%		-		-
4% to under 5%		-		-
No Floor		55,933		51.0
Total	$	109,740		100.0	%

Based on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2025, the following table (dollars in thousands) shows the approximate increase/(decrease) in components of net assets resulting from operations of hypothetical SOFR base rate changes in interest rates, assuming no changes in our investment and capital structure.

Change in Interest Rates	Interest Income^(1)^			Interest Expense			Net Increase/ (Decrease)
Up 300 basis points	$	3,800		$	(2,600	)	$	1,200
Up 200 basis points		2,600			(1,700	)		900
Up 100 basis points		1,300			(900	)		400
Down 100 basis points		(1,300	)		900			(400	)
Down 200 basis points		(2,600	)		1,700			(900	)
Down 300 basis points		(3,800	)		2,600			(1,200	)
(1)	Assumes no defaults or prepayments by portfolio companies over the next twelve months.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls Over FinancialReporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. Our businesses are also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. We are not currently party to any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on December 17, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Other than the items disclosed below, there have been no material changes during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 to the risk factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K. Additional risks or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

As of June 30, 2025, 15.8% of our total assets were invested in NSG, our insurance business.

This significant exposure subjects our Company to various risks associated with such business (which are identified in “Risks of the Insurance Business” under Item 1A in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024) to a much greater extent than companies not similarly concentrated.

Exhibit10.18

THIRDAMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

This THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment’’), dated as of April 17, 2025, is among PhenixFIN Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as Borrower, the other Loan Parties party hereto, the Lenders party hereto, and BankUnited, N.A., as Administrative Agent.

WHEREAS, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2022, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Consent dated as of February 21, 2024, and as amended by that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Joinder dated as of August 5, 2024 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement’’ and as amended, modified and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement);

WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have requested that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent increase the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments from $87,500,000 to $100,000,000.00 (the “Revolving Commitment Increase”);

WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have requested that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree to amend certain terms of the Existing Credit Agreement and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have agreed thereto on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, Woodforest National Bank has resigned as administrative agent, joint bookrunner and joint lead arranger;

WHEREAS, as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, the parties desire to appoint BankUnited, N.A. as Administrative Agent and to name BankUnited, N.A. and Valley National Bank as joint bookrunner and joint lead arranger; and

WHEREAS, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent desire to consent to the Revolving Commitment Increase on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement. As of the Third Amendment Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment and in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement is amended as follows:

(a) The definition of “Administrative Agent’’ in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

“AdministrativeAgent” means BankUnited, N.A. (or any of its designated branch offices or affiliates), in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder.

(b) The definition of “Applicable Rate” in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

“ApplicableRate” means, for any day, with respect to any Loan, or with respect to the commitment fees payable hereunder, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum based on the Total Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio set forth below under the caption “Term Benchmark Margin” with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan, “ABR Margin” with respect to any ABR Loan, or “Commitment Fee Rate” with respect to the commitment fee under Section 2.12(a), as the case may be.

Pricing <br> Level	Total Debt to <br> Tangible Net Worth Ratio	Term <br> Benchmark <br> Margin			ABR <br> Margin			Commitment <br> Fee Rate
I	less than 0.5 :1.00		2.35	%		1.35	%		0.25	%
II	greater than or equal to 0.5:1.00 but less than <br>1.00 :1.00		2.50	%		1.50	%		0.25	%
III	greater than or equal to 1.00:1.00		2.75	%		1.75	%		0.25	%

The Applicable Rate will be determined based on the Total Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio calculated in the most recent Compliance Certificate required to be delivered under this Agreement (which shall include the calculation of the Tangible Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio); provided that, the Applicable Rate will be the Level II Applicable Interest Rate from the Third Amendment Effective Date until the date the first Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered after the Third Amendment Effective Date. Each change in the Applicable Rate shall become effective on the date occurring five (5) Business Days after the date the applicable Compliance Certificate is delivered and shall remain effective for such purpose until five (5) Business Days after the next delivery of such Compliance Certificate, provided that, the Applicable Rate shall be the Level III Term Benchmark Margin or ABR Margin, as applicable, if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered by the required date (but only from the required date until date the Compliance Certificate is actually delivered). In the event that any Compliance Certificate is inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement is in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have resulted in a higher Applicable Rate for any period, then (a) Borrower shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for such period, (b) the Applicable Rate for such period shall be determined based on the corrected Compliance Certificate, and (c) Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Rate for such period. The provisions of this definition shall not limit the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to Section 2.13(c) or Section 7.02.

(c) The definition of “Arranger” in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

“Arranger’ means, collectively, BankUnited, N.A. and Valley National Bank, in their capacity as joint bookrunner and joint lead arranger hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders wish (and the Loan Parties agree) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of their respective rights, interests, security and/or remedies. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each Loan Party (for itself and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively. the “Releasors”) does hereby jointly, severally, fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release, waive and forever discharge the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, together with their respective Affiliates and Related Funds, and each of the Related Parties of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all debts, claims, allegation , obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, Iiabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise. which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done, in each case, arising out of, connected with or related to this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of the Administrative Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of any Loan Party in connection with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or other advances or the Collateral (collectively, the*”Claims”).* Each Loan Party represents and warrants that it has no knowledge of any Claim by any Releasor against any Released Party or of any facts or acts or omissions of any Released Party which on the date hereof would be the basis of a Claim by any Releasor against any Released Party which would not be released hereby.
