New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 57% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 105% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (57% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.

The SPAC Collapse Isn't Good News For SuRo Capital Summary
The collapse of SPACs has left SuRo Capital without its main source of exits on its investments.
NAV per share at $9.24 places the fund in relative value territory. The company launched a tender offer in a bid to try and close this gap.
While the discount will likely remain sticky on the back of continued macro headwinds, SuRo's large cash position will drive future shareholder value.
New York-based SuRo Capital (SSSS) has had a colorful history as a public company. Three name changes in recent years first from GSV Capital to Sutter Rock and then to the current iteration have come against surging investor interest in private company investments as venture capital takes on a more outsized role in the economy. Many companies are choosing to stay private far longer than they historically have.
SuRo Capital is an internally managed investment fund that seeks to invest in high-growth, venture-backed private companies. The fund has built a diverse portfolio of fast-growing private startups, some of which like Forge Global (FRGE), Rover Group (ROVR), and Nextdoor (KIND) went public just last year on the back of the blank check boom. The SPAC phenomenon, driven by an incredible mix of euphoric animal spirits and non-prudent management guidance has all but come to a quiet end as the broader stock market crashed.
SPACs have raised around $12.7 billion this year, down from the $166 billion in 2021 as just 50 deals were completed. This was a fraction of 226 deals in 2021 and came on the back of a number of underwriters including Goldman (GS) pausing new offerings and withdrawing support from those they helped take public. As if things were not bad enough, the SEC under Gary Gensler is proposing a more onerous regulatory regime with reforms that would limit the ability of new SPACs to provide financial projections in excess of that which would have been permitted under the conventional IPO process. SPACs have become notorious for pulling these overly optimistic forecasts just after going public.
Financial Times - Refinitiv
For SuRo, the collapse of SPACs closes what has been a significant route for cash realizations. Indeed, the company continues to hold equity stakes in a number of pre-definitive agreement blank check firms like Churchill Capital Corp VI (CCVI) and Churchill Capital Corp VII (CVII).
A Material Discount To Book Value As Growth Collapses
As SuRo's main operations involve the management of its investment portfolio of small fast-growing companies so conventional metrics like revenue are not entirely useful. The company's last reported earnings for its fiscal 2022 second quarter saw net assets total $280.2 million, for a NAV per share of $9.24. This was a sequential decline from a NAV per share of $12.22 in the previous quarter.
The decline has been led by torrid equity market conditions since the first half of this year. The broad-based decline in public market common shares, the worst in half a century, spilt over to the private markets as numerous late-stage unicorns experienced turbulent conditions that led to new financing rounds completed at discounts to valuations from previous capital raises.
SuRo trades at a discount of 35.6% to NAV with shares currently at $5.95. This large discount to its book value pushed management to launch a now expired tender offer to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock, roughly 6.60% of shares outstanding. It's hard to assess this as a success as shares now trade below the $6 purchase floor implemented by management. However, in lieu of other investment opportunities, the tender offer makes sense when looked at from a long-term perspective. Price Target Changed • Aug 08
