In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 and has the same effective date as the original standard. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):

Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, an update on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which includes amendments for enhanced clarification of the guidance. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), the amendments in this update are of a similar nature to the items typically addressed in the technical corrections and improvements project. Additionally, in February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, an update clarifying that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it is deemed an “in-substance non-financial asset.” The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2014-09 on its financial statements.

A large driver of the decrease in corporate loan and security interest income was a decline in the aggregate par value of our corporate loan and debt security portfolios as of September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 coupled with a decline in weighted average coupon spread to LIBOR. The decline in the aggregate par value of our corporate debt portfolio was largely attributable to the calling of our legacy CLOs during 2015 and 2016, the largest of which was CLO 2007-1 in August 2016, and the sale of assets held within these CLOs to repay the CLO notes outstanding. These legacy CLOs, which were issued prior to 2012, were larger in total transaction size relative to those issued subsequently. During the latter half of 2016, we repaid approximately $1.1 billion of notes from the sale proceeds of assets held within the legacy CLOs. Separately, during 2016, we de-consolidated CLO 11 and CLO 13 which resulted in a reduction in the aggregate par value of our loan portfolio by approximately $898.8 million. We also closed CLO 15 and CLO 16 during the latter half of 2016 and CLO 18 during the third quarter of 2017; however, total new assets only partially offset the decline in portfolio from the amortization of legacy CLOs. As of September 30, 2017, our corporate loan portfolio had an aggregate par value of $3.8 billion with a weighted average coupon of 4.9%, while our corporate debt securities portfolio had an aggregate par value of $297.2 million with a weighted average coupon of 12.4%, excluding subordinated notes in third-party controlled CLOs. Comparatively, as of September 30, 2016, our corporate loan portfolio had an aggregate par value of $3.9 billion with a weighted average coupon of 5.2%, while our corporate debt securities portfolio had an aggregate par value of $308.5 million with a weighted average coupon of 12.2%, excluding subordinated notes in third-party controlled CLOs. A majority of our corporate loan portfolio is floating rate indexed to the three-month LIBOR. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the weighted average coupon spread to LIBOR of our floating rate corporate loan portfolio was 3.5% and 4.0%, respectively.

If we are engaged in a United States trade or business, a portion of any gain recognized by an investor who is a non-United States person on the sale or exchange of its Series A LLC Preferred Shares may be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as effectively connected income, and hence such holder may be subject to United States federal income tax on the sale or exchange. Moreover, if the fair market value of our investments in United States real property interests, which include our investments in natural resources, real estate and REIT subsidiaries that invest primarily in real estate, represent more than 10% of the total fair market value of our assets, our Series A LLC Preferred Shares could be treated as United States real property interests. In such case, gain recognized by an investor who is a non-United States person on the sale or exchange of its Series A LLC Preferred Shares would be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as effectively connected income (unless our Series A LLC Preferred Shares are regularly traded on a securities market and the non-United States person owned 5% or less of the shares of our Series A LLC Preferred Shares during the applicable compliance period). We believe that the fair market value of our investments in United States real property interests represented more than 10% of the total fair market value of our assets during the third quarter of 2017. As a result, although the Treasury regulations are not entirely clear, the Series A LLC Preferred Shares (unless our Series A LLC Preferred Shares are regularly traded on a securities market and the non-United States person owned 5% or less of the shares of our Series A LLC Preferred Shares during the applicable compliance period) could be treated as United States real property interests. Moreover, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") could take the position that such shares would be treated as United States real property interests for the five years following the last date on which more than 10% of the total fair market value of our assets consisted of United States real property interests. If gain from the sale of our Series A LLC Preferred Shares is treated as effectively connected income, the holder may be subject to United States federal income and/or withholding tax on the sale or exchange.
