Independent Auditors' Report

To the Board of Managers and Member of

Crystal Financial LLC

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Crystal Financial LLC dba SLR Credit Solutions (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in member’s equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

Crystal Financial LLC (“Crystal Financial” or the “Company”), along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Crystal Financial SPV LLC (“Crystal Financial SPV”), is a commercial finance company based in Boston, Massachusetts, that primarily originates, underwrites, and manages secured debt to middle market companies within various industries. The Company was formed in the state of Delaware on March 18, 2010. During 2021, the Company executed a dba filing to do business using the name SLR Credit Solutions.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, SLR Investment Corp. (“SLRC”) owns 100% of the outstanding ownership units of the Company.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adopted by the Company:

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Crystal Financial SPV. All inter-company investments, accounts and transactions have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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 as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash includes all deposits held at banks. Deposits in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) are exposed to loss in the event of nonperformance by the institution. The Company has had cash deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance coverage and has not experienced any losses on such accounts in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Restricted cash consists of interest and fees collected on those loans held within Crystal Financial SPV that serve as collateral against the Company’s outstanding line of credit. Upon receipt, these funds are restricted from the Company’s access until the fifteenth of the following month. Also included in restricted cash may be funds that serve as collateral against loans outstanding to certain borrowers as well as funds that serve as collateral to outstanding letters of credit.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 230, Statement of Cash Flows, the Company presents the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Accordingly, amounts generally described as restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash…continued

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheet that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Loans

The Company typically classifies all loans as held to maturity and are measured at amortized cost. Loans funded by the Company are recorded at the amount of unpaid principal, net of unearned fees, discounts and the allowance for credit losses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the respective loan in accordance with ASC 310, Receivables. Generally, interest is not accrued on loans with interest or principal payments 90 days or greater past due or on other loans when management believes collection is doubtful. Loans considered impaired, as defined below, are non-accruing. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued, but not collected, is reversed against current interest income and all future proceeds received will generally be applied against principal or interest, in the judgment of management. Interest on loans classified as nonaccrual is accounted for on the cash basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are generally returned to accrual status when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

There is one loan on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2025. This loan is the same loan classified as Criticized, as defined by the Company’s Loan Loss Policy, in the Allowance for Credit Losses footnote (see Note 3). The Company did not have any loans that were non-performing, modified or past due 30 days or more as of December 31, 2024.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method.

The allowance for credit losses reflects the Company’s current estimate of potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio at year end. Changes to the allowance are recognized through net income in the consolidated statements of operations. While ASU 2016-13 does not require any particular method for determining the allowance for credit losses, it does specify that the reserve should be based on relevant information about past events, including, but not limited to, historical loss rates, current portfolio composition, market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan.

Allowance for Credit Losses...continued

The Company’s portfolio consists of both revolvers and term loans. The loans are further classified as either “Pass” or “Criticized.” These classifications are a direct result of the internal risk ratings assigned to each loan during regular loan review meetings. All loans in the Company’s portfolio with similar risk characteristics are individually reviewed when determining the risk rating for each loan. Internal risk ratings are derived upon consideration of various factors related to both the borrower and the borrower’s facility, with those factors related to the borrower’s facility being the key determinant of the overall risk rating. A lower internal risk rating represents less risk while a higher internal risk rating represents more risk. Risk factors of the borrower that are considered include asset and earnings quality, historical and projected financial performance, borrowing liquidity and/or access to capital. Risk factors of the facility that are considered include collateral coverage and the facility’s position within the overall capital structure. Loans rated below a certain threshold are classified as “Pass” and loans rated above a certain threshold are classified as “Criticized.”

The allowance for credit losses on loans classified as “Pass” is assessed using historical loss data, the expected weighted-average remaining maturity of the portfolio, and a qualitative economic view. The Company also reviews trends in the weighted-average risk rating of the portfolio in order to determine whether risk characteristics of the current portfolio, relative to the historical portfolio, could signal a greater risk of expected loss.

In accordance with CECL, the Company’s allowance for credit losses may be adjusted to reflect management’s assessment of current and future economic conditions that may impact the performance of the borrowers. The assessment includes, but is not limited to, unemployment rates, interest rates, expectations of inflation and/or recession, as well as various other macroeconomic factors that could impact the likelihood of potential credit losses during a loan’s anticipated term.

Specific allowances for credit losses are generally applied to loans classified as “Criticized.” Generally, these loans are deemed to be impaired and are typically measured based on a comparison of the recorded carrying value of the loan to the present value of the loan’s expected cash flow using the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s estimated market price, or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent. Loans are charged off against the allowance at the earlier of either the substantial completion of the liquidation of assets securing the loan, or when senior management deems the loan to be permanently impaired.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All loans are individually evaluated for impairment according to the Company’s normal loan review process, including overall credit evaluation, nonaccrual status and payment experience. Loans identified as impaired are further evaluated to determine the estimated extent of impairment.

Each period, the CECL reserve is reduced by charge-offs, increased by recoveries of previously recognized charge-offs, and increased or decreased by the provision for credit losses, which is recorded on the provision for uncollectible finance receivables on the statement of operations.

Goodwill

The Company typically assesses goodwill for impairment at the end of each fiscal year using a qualitative assessment.

Goodwill...continued

Goodwill recognized in business combinations is assigned to the reporting units that are expected to benefit from the combination as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is not amortized; rather goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. The Company has elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. If the conclusion is supported that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would not need to perform a quantitative impairment test. If the conclusion cannot be supported, or if the Company does not elect to do the qualitative assessment, then the Company will perform a quantitative assessment. If a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment is performed, the Company utilizes a combination of market and income valuation approaches. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. No impairment of goodwill resulted from the annual impairment testing during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings against its revolving credit facility (see Note 5). These amounts are amortized using the straight-line method into earnings as interest expense ratably over the contractual term of the facility. Net unamortized debt issuance costs totaled $3,957,408 and $2,586,255 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are recorded as a direct deduction in the carrying amount of the revolving credit facility on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Fee Income Recognition

Nonrefundable loan fees and costs associated with the origination or purchase of loans are deferred and included in loans, net, in the consolidated balance sheets. These commitment fees, as well as certain other fees charged to borrowers, such as amendment and prepayment fees, are recorded in interest income, after receipt, over the remaining life of the loan using a method which approximates the interest method. Income recognized on these fees totaled $9,888,644 and $8,753,999 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is recorded as a component of interest income on the consolidated statements of operations. Unused line fees are recorded in interest income when received. Unamortized fees totaling $5,306,937 and $5,992,318 are recorded as unearned fee income on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Such items are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives:

Investment in Equity Securities

The Company accounts for equity securities in accordance with the guidance set forth in ASC 825, Financial Instruments). The Company obtained an equity interest in an entity formed to acquire certain assets of a borrower during the year ended December 31, 2023 (see Note 3) and elected the measurement alternative set forth in FASB ASC 321-10. The measurement alternative is optional and may be applied to equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. In accordance with the measurement alternative, the interest is recorded at cost, less impairment, plus or minus any changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The company recorded impairment on investment in equity securities totaling $2,419,950 and $4,119,224 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Distributions

Distributions to member are recorded as of the date of declaration and are approved by the Company’s Board of Managers. Distributions totaling $4,000,000 and $5,500,000 were declared by the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, but were not paid until the following year.

Income Taxes

The Company is a single member LLC treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes. The sole member of Crystal Financial is individually liable for the taxes, if any.

The Company applies the provisions set forth in Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (ASC 740-10). ASC 740-10 provides a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain income tax positions. The Company recognizes the tax effect of certain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions that meet the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10.

As a disregarded entity, the Company has no obligation to file a U.S. federal return for tax periods beginning after July 28, 2016, the date the Company became a disregarded entity for tax purposes. The Company does however continue to file certain state tax returns. As of December 31, 2025, the Company is subject to examination by various state tax authorities for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021.

Depending on the assigned internal risk rating, loans are classified as either Pass or Criticized. Generally, once a loan is classified as Criticized, the loan is individually evaluated and a specific reserve analysis is required. At December 31, 2025, two loans with aggregate principal balances outstanding net of unamortized fees totaling $7,660,862 are deemed to be impaired (Criticized). Reserves totaling $4,824,432 have been applied against these loans at December 31, 2025. Although not being accrued for at December 31, 2025, interest on the impaired loans is paid-in-kind and therefore there are no interest payments due at December 31, 2025. There are also no principal payments outstanding at December 31, 2025. There were no individually evaluated loans and no interest or principal payments outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

The Company also maintains an allowance on unfunded revolver and delayed draw term loan commitments. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, an allowance of $711,441 and $789,061, respectively, was recorded relating to these commitments. This amount is recorded as a component of other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets with changes recorded in the provision for credit losses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The methodology for determining the allowance for unfunded revolver and delayed draw term loan commitments is consistent with the methodology used for determining the allowance for credit losses, with the exception that only the portion of the outstanding commitment expected to be drawn is applied against the unfunded commitments.

The summary of changes in the allowance for credit losses relating to funded commitments for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

There were no recoveries of loans previously charged off recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company’s primary credit quality indicator is its internal risk ratings, which are used to determine whether a loan should be classified as “Pass” or “Criticized.” The following tables present the net book value of the Company’s loan portfolio as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, by year of origination, loan type, and credit quality indicator.

Accrued interest receivable is $2,445,307and $2,464,813 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included as a component of loan interest and fees receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The accrual of accrued interest is in accordance with the non-accrual policy as stated in Note 2.

The cost basis of the Company’s property and equipment as well as the accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2025 and 2024, are as follows:

Finance lease assets totaling $25,907 are included as a component of computer equipment in the above schedule at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Depreciation expense of $29,430 and $22,031 was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 12, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Financing and Servicing Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) in the form of a revolving credit facility.

Revolving Credit Facility…continued

The Company has the ability to borrow funds denominated in certain foreign currencies under the facility. The maximum amount available to be borrowed in foreign denominated currencies is the US Dollar equivalent of $120,000,000. During 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred fees and expenses totaling $2,426,464 and $143,271, respectively, in connection with certain amendments to the credit facility. These costs were deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the Credit Agreement as an adjustment to interest expense.

On September 12, 2025, the Company amended its revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2025, the amount available to be borrowed under the facility is the lesser of (a) $300,000,000 or (b) the amount calculated and available per the Borrowing Base, as defined in the amended Credit Agreement. Prior to the September 12, 2025 amendment, borrowings on the facility bore interest at a rate of 2.95% plus the Lenders’ cost of funds, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Upon execution of the amendment, the facility bears interest of 2.55% plus the Lenders’ cost of funds, as defined by the Credit Agreement. The applicable cost of funds varies depending on the currency in which the funds are borrowed. At December 31, 2025, the effective rates were between 5.10% and 6.42%. The Company also pays an undrawn fee between .25% and .50% on unfunded commitments.

The revolving credit facility is comprised of the following at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Prior to the September 12, 2025 amendment, the credit facility was to terminate on the earlier of August 15, 2027 or upon occurrence of a Facility Termination event as defined in the amended Credit Agreement. Upon execution of the amendment, the credit facility terminates on the earlier of March 12, 2030 or upon the occurrence of a Facility Termination Event, as defined in the amended Credit Agreement.

Commencing on September 12, 2028 and continuing every three months until the facility’s termination date, the Company may be required to make principal pay-downs on certain amounts outstanding. The amount to be paid down is contingent upon the future amount outstanding as well as the amount of future non-mandatory prepayments made on the credit facility.

Cash, as well as those of the Company’s loans that are held within Crystal Financial SPV, serve as collateral against the facility. The Company has made certain customary representations and warranties under the facility, and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements, and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. The Credit Agreement includes usual and customary events of default for credit facilities of this nature. The Company is in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2025 and 2024

The Company may co-invest with SLRC and its affiliates in certain loans and investments. These transactions occur in the normal course of business.

Crystal Financial has issued limited liability company interests, referred to as Class A Units. Each unit entitles its holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the members. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had 280,303 outstanding Class A Units, all of which are owned by SLRC.

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk including unfunded revolver and delayed draw term loan commitments to certain borrowers.

Under the revolving credit and delayed draw term loans, aggregate unfunded commitments total $97,150,559 and $115,751,802 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These agreements have fixed expiration dates. The revolving credit agreements typically require payment of a monthly fee equal to a certain percentage times the unused portion of the revolving line of credit. As the unfunded commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of credit that can be extended under each of the revolving credit agreements and delayed draw term loan agreements is typically limited to the borrower’s available collateral, which is used in calculating the borrower’s borrowing base at the time of a respective draw.

In accordance with US GAAP, the Company evaluates (a) whether it holds a variable interest in an entity, (b) whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and (c) whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

As part of a loan restructuring, the Company obtained a minority ownership interest in a joint venture operating company during 2023. It was determined that the Company has a variable interest in the joint venture. The Company does not have the individual power to direct the joint venture’s activities and it does not share disproportionally in the obligation to absorb potential losses or the right to receive expected returns of the joint venture. Accordingly, it was determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and the VIE is not consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with ASC 321-10, the Company elected the measurement alternative for its interest without a readily determinable fair value. The measurement alternative permits the Company to carry its interest at cost less impairment. For interests accounted for under the measurement alternative cost method, the Company evaluates whether indicators of impairment exist. If an interest is determined to be impaired, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value with the impairment recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The following table sets forth the information with respect to the unconsolidated VIEs in which the Company holds a variable interest as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(1) includes the equity investment the Company has made, or could be required to make

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1- Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2- Inputs other than the quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3- Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

There were no financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consist of cash, restricted cash, interest receivable, loans receivable, collateral held for borrower obligations and the revolving credit facility. The carrying value of the Company’s cash and restricted cash approximates its fair value at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company’s loans receivable are recorded at outstanding principal, net of any deferred fees and costs, unamortized purchase discounts and the allowance for credit losses. If the Company elected the fair value option, the estimated fair value of the Company’s loans receivable would be derived using among other things, a discounted cash flow methodology that considers various factors including the type of loan and related collateral, current market yields for similar debt investments, estimated cash flows, as well as a discount rate that reflects the Company’s assessment of risk inherent in the cash flow estimates.

If the Company elected the fair value option, the estimated fair value of the Company’s revolving credit facility would approximate the carrying value at December 31, 2025 and 2024. The fair value is estimated based on consideration of current market interest rates for similar debt instruments.

The following table presents the carrying amounts, estimated fair values, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments, at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
