While the Company derives income and capital appreciation by providing debt to growth-oriented companies across various industries, the Company and the CODM evaluate and monitor performance of the business on a consolidated basis. Further, each investment is evaluated and managed using similar processes and shared operations support functions such as deal origination, underwriting, loan servicing in addition to the administrative functions of human resources, legal, finance and information technology. The accounting policies of the segment align with those outlined in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in the notes of the consolidated financial statements.
The CODM uses consolidated net investment income and net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations when allocating resources and assessing the Company’s performance. Net investment income is comprised of consolidated total investment income (“segment revenues”) and consolidated total net operating expenses (“significant segment expenses”). The net increase/(decrease) in net assets is comprised of consolidated net investment income and consolidated net realized gain/(loss) from investments and consolidated net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments. These performance metrics are considered the key segment measure of profit or loss received by the CODM. As the Company’s operations comprise of a reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Total Assets, investments held on the Consolidated Statements of Investments, and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
