(b) Denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

 

(c) Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see Note 7).

 

(d) Security or portion thereof held within Broad Street Funding LLC and is pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (see Notes 10 and 11).

 

(e) Security or portion thereof held within Locust Street Funding LLC and is pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under the Class A Notes issued to Race Street Funding LLC pursuant to an indenture with Citibank, N.A., as trustee (see Note 12).

 

(f) Position or portion thereof unsettled as of March 31, 2012.

 

(g) The investment is not a qualifying asset under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets. As of March 31, 2012, 80.2% of the Company’s total assets represent qualifying assets. In addition, as described in Note 8, the Company also calculates its compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by disregarding the value of the total return swap itself and treating each loan underlying the total return swap as either a qualifying asset or non-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 79.3% of the Company’s total assets are qualifying assets as of March 31, 2012.

 

(h) Listed investments may be treated as debt for GAAP or tax purposes.

 

(i) Security is non-income producing.

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

FS Investment Corporation, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on December 21, 2007 and formally commenced operations on January 2, 2009. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company, or RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had four wholly-owned financing subsidiaries, Broad Street Funding LLC, or Broad Street, which was established on February 2, 2010, Arch Street Funding LLC, or Arch Street, which was established on March 1, 2011, Locust Street Funding LLC, or Locust Street, which was established on July 5, 2011, and Race Street Funding LLC, or Race Street, which was established on July 5, 2011. The consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned financing subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Since commencing its continuous public offering and through May 14, 2012, the Company has sold 234,018,906 shares (as adjusted for stock distributions) of common stock for gross proceeds of $2,461,756. As of May 14, 2012, the Company had raised total gross proceeds of $2,462,756, including approximately $1,000 contributed by the principals of the Company’s investment adviser in February 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company sold 42,836,184 and 18,759,131 shares for gross proceeds of $452,338 and $199,296 at an average price per share of $10.56 and $10.62, respectively. The gross proceeds received during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 include reinvested stockholder distributions of $17,206 and $3,828, respectively, for which the Company issued 1,792,143 and 376,330 shares of common stock, respectively. During the period from April 1, 2012 to May 14, 2012, the Company sold 30,241,254 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $322,159 at an average price per share of $10.65.

The proceeds from the issuance of common stock as presented on the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in net assets and consolidated statements of cash flows are presented net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $40,660 and $18,140 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with its audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. The December 31, 2011 balance sheet and schedule of investments are derived from the 2011 audited financial statements. The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Many of the amounts have been rounded, and all amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the 2012 financial statements. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement the Company entered into with FB Income Advisor, LLC, or FB Advisor, the incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments of the Company’s portfolio during operations prior to a liquidation of the Company is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year. Such fee will equal 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains (i.e., the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.

While the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FB Advisor neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an interpretation of an American Institute for Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, commencing during the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company changed its methodology for accruing for this incentive fee to include unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee expense and related capital gains incentive fee payable. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to FB Advisor if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though FB Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $14,801 based on the performance of its portfolio, of which $14,719 was based on unrealized gains and $82 was based on realized gains. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company accrued $3,271 in capital gains incentive fees based on the performance of its portfolio during such period, of which $2,142 was based on unrealized gains and $1,129 was based on realized gains. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had accrued $14,801 in capital gains incentive fees.

Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This guidance represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board, or collectively, the Accounting Boards, on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Accounting Boards reflected in this guidance have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value” and enhanced disclosure requirements for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The Accounting Boards have concluded the common

requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments to the FASB codification in this guidance are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has implemented this guidance and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, except for enhanced disclosures around fair value measurements.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

The Company has entered into an investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FB Advisor. Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FB Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee of 2.0% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance.

The incentive fee consists of three parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals 20.0% of “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subordinated to a preferred return on adjusted capital, as defined in the Company’s investment advisory and administrative services agreement, equal to 2.0% per quarter, or an annualized rate of 8.0%. The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains during operations, is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the Company’s portfolio during operations prior to a liquidation of the Company and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. The third part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the subordinated liquidation incentive fee, equals 20.0% of the net proceeds from a liquidation of the Company in excess of adjusted capital, as calculated immediately prior to liquidation.

The Company commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement on January 2, 2009, upon the commencement of the Company’s operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, FB Advisor earned $12,204 and $4,761, respectively, in base management fees. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. The Company paid $8,631 and $3,297, respectively, of these fees during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. As of March 31, 2012, there was $13,145 in management fees payable to FB Advisor.

The Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee, which, if earned, is paid annually. The Company accrues the incentive fee based on net realized and unrealized gains, however, under the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the fee payable to FB Advisor is based on realized gains and no such fee is payable with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $14,801 based on the performance of its portfolio, of which $14,719 was based on unrealized gains and $82 was based on realized gains. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company accrued $3,271 in capital gains incentive fees based on the performance of its portfolio during such period, of which $2,142 was based on unrealized gains

and $1,129 was based on realized gains. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had accrued $14,801 in capital gains incentive fees.

The Company also reimburses FB Advisor for expenses necessary for its performance of services related to administering and operating the Company, provided that such reimbursement is equal to the lower of FB Advisor’s actual costs or the amount that the Company would be required to pay for comparable services in the same geographic location, and provided further that such costs are reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred administrative services expenses of $903 and $584, respectively, attributable to FB Advisor. Of these expenses, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, $740 and $578, respectively, related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services provided to the Company by employees of FB Advisor and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses. The Company paid FB Advisor $174 and $477, respectively, for the services rendered under this arrangement during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. As of March 31, 2012, there was $883 in administrative services expenses payable to FB Advisor.

The dealer manager for the Company’s public offering is FS2 Capital Partners, LLC, or FS2, which is one of the Company’s affiliates. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, FS2 retained $7,783 and $3,568, respectively, for selling commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of the Company’s common stock.

Under the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, when the Company’s Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC and the Company was successful in raising gross proceeds from unrelated outside investors of at least $2,500, or the minimum offering requirement, FB Advisor became entitled to receive 1.5% of gross proceeds raised until all offering costs and organization costs funded by FB Advisor or its affiliates (including Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., or Franklin Square Holdings, the Company’s sponsor and an affiliate of FB Advisor) have been recovered. On January 2, 2009, the Company exceeded the minimum offering requirement. The Company paid total reimbursements of $0 and $641 to FB Advisor and its affiliates during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, no amounts were payable to FB Advisor and its affiliates under this arrangement. The reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of capital.

FB Advisor’s senior management team is comprised of the same personnel as the senior management team of FS Investment Advisor, LLC and FSIC II Advisor, LLC, the investment advisers to Franklin Square Holdings’ other affiliated BDCs, FS Energy and Power Fund and FS Investment Corporation II, respectively. As a result, such personnel provide investment advisory services to each of the Company, FS Energy and Power Fund and FS Investment Corporation II. While none of FB Advisor, FS Investment Advisor, LLC or FSIC II Advisor, LLC is currently making private corporate debt investments for clients other than the Company, FS Energy and Power Fund and FS Investment Corporation II, respectively, any, or all, may do so in the future. In the event that FB Advisor undertakes to provide investment advisory services to other clients in the future, it intends to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with the Company’s investment objectives and strategies, if necessary, so that the Company will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of FB Advisor or its management team. In addition, even in the absence of FB Advisor retaining additional clients, it is possible that some investment opportunities may be provided to FS Energy and Power Fund and/or FS Investment Corporation II rather than to the Company.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)

 

Beginning on February 26, 2009, Franklin Square Holdings agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount that was sufficient to ensure that, for tax purposes, the Company’s net investment income and net capital gains were equal to or greater than the cumulative distributions paid to its stockholders in each quarter. This arrangement was designed to ensure that no portion of the Company’s distributions would represent a return of capital for its stockholders. Under this arrangement, Franklin Square Holdings had no obligation to reimburse any portion of the Company’s expenses.

Pursuant to an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2012, or the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no portion of the Company’s distributions to stockholders will be paid from its offering proceeds or borrowings. However, because certain investments the Company may make, including preferred and common equity investments, may generate dividends and other distributions to the Company that are treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, a portion of the Company’s distributions to stockholders may also be deemed to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that the Company may use such dividends or other distribution proceeds to fund its distributions to stockholders. Under those circumstances, Franklin Square Holdings will not reimburse the Company for the portion of such distributions to stockholders that represent a return of capital for tax purposes, as the purpose of the expense reimbursement arrangement is not to prevent tax-advantaged distributions to stockholders.

Under the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between the Company’s cumulative distributions paid to its stockholders in each quarter, less the sum of the Company’s net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts are not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) in each quarter.

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, the Company will have a conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings under such agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which Franklin Square Holdings funded such amount, the sum of the Company’s net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by the Company to stockholders. The expense reimbursement agreement does not apply to any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings prior to the date of such agreement.

The Company or Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. If the Company terminates the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FB Advisor, the Company will be required to repay Franklin Square Holdings all reimbursements funded by Franklin Square Holdings within three years of the date of termination.

The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, no such reimbursements were required from Franklin Square Holdings. Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by the Company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, and the Company’s vice-chairman, David J. Adelman.

There can be no assurance that the expense reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse any portion of the Company’s expenses in future quarters.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company has declared and paid on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

   $ 0.2016       $ 37,014   

On April 10, 2012, the Company’s board of directors declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.033594 per share each, which were paid on April 30, 2012 to stockholders of record on April 13, 2012 and April 30, 2012, respectively. On May 11, 2012, the Company’s board of directors declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.033594 per share each, which are expected to be paid on May 31, 2012 to stockholders of record on May 15, 2012 and May 30, 2012, respectively. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors.

The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a distribution, its stockholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to it, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions that the Company has paid on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Note 5. Distributions (continued)

 

The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $35,006 and $7,965, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $137 and $2,145, respectively, of undistributed net investment income on a tax basis.

The difference between the Company’s GAAP-basis net investment income and its tax-basis net investment income is due to the tax-basis amortization of organization and start-up costs incurred prior to the commencement of the Company’s operations, the reversal of interest income earned on a tax basis due to the required accretion of discount on a non-performing loan which was sold during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the required accrual for GAAP purposes of incentive fees on unrealized gains even though no such incentive fees on unrealized gains are payable by the Company, the inclusion of realized gains on the total return swap in tax-basis net investment income and the accretion of discount on the total return swap. The following table sets forth a reconciliation between GAAP-basis net investment income and tax-basis net investment income during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year based upon the Company’s taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of the Company’s distributions for a full year. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders are reported to stockholders annually on a Form 1099-DIV.

The purpose of these special stock distributions was to maintain a net asset value per share that was below the then-current offering price, after deduction of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, as required by the 1940 Act, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Company’s board of directors determined that its portfolio performance sufficiently warranted taking these actions.

The stock distributions increased the number of shares outstanding, thereby reducing the Company’s net asset value per share. However, because the stock distributions were issued to all stockholders in proportion to their current holdings, the reduction in net asset value per share as a result of the stock distributions was offset exactly by the increase in the number of shares owned by each investor. As overall value to an investor was not reduced as a result of the special stock distributions, the Company’s board of directors determined that these issuances would not be dilutive to existing stockholders. As the stock distributions did not change any stockholder’s proportionate interest in the Company, they did not represent taxable distributions.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

The Company does not “control” and is not an “affiliate” of any of its portfolio companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if it owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an “affiliate” of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

The Company’s investment portfolio may contain loans that are in the form of lines of credit or revolving credit facilities, which require the Company to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had four such investments, all of which were revolving loan agreements with an aggregate unfunded commitment of $19,486. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had four such investments, three of which were revolving loan agreements with an aggregate unfunded commitment of $20,302 and one of which was an unfunded bridge loan commitment with an aggregate unfunded commitment of $35,000. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand to fund such unfunded loan commitments should the need arise.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under existing accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. This accounting guidance emphasizes that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy as defined by current accounting guidance:

Level 1: Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable for an asset or liability.

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.

The Company’s investments as of March 31, 2012 consisted primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investors. Except as described below, the Company valued its investments by using independent third-party pricing services, which provided prevailing bid and ask prices that were screened for validity by the services from dealers on the date of the relevant period end. Twelve senior secured loan investments and five subordinated debt investments, for which broker quotes were not available, were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined the value of such investments by considering, among other factors, the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, prevailing interest rates for like investments, call features and other relevant terms of the debt. All of the Company’s equity/other investments were valued by the same independent valuation firm, which determined the value of such investments by considering, among other factors, contractual rights ascribed to such investments, as well as various income scenarios and multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. One senior secured loan investment, which was purchased near March 31, 2012, was valued at cost, as the Company’s board of directors determined that the cost of such investment was the best indication of its fair value. The Company valued its TRS for a portfolio of senior secured floating rate loans in accordance with the agreements governing such arrangement. Pursuant to those agreements, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company for review and testing. The Company’s valuation committee and board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly determination of net asset value. To the extent the Company’s valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation will be discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS. For additional disclosures on the Company’s TRS, see Note 8.

The Company’s investments as of December 31, 2011 consisted primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investors. Except as described below, the Company valued its investments by using independent third-party pricing services, which provided prevailing bid and ask prices that were screened for validity by the services from dealers on the date of the relevant period end. Eleven senior secured loan investments and three subordinated debt investments, for which broker quotes were not available, were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined the value of such investments by considering, among other factors, the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, prevailing interest rates for like investments, call features and other relevant terms of the debt. All of the Company’s equity/other investments

were valued by the same independent valuation firm, which determined the value of such investments by considering various factors, such as multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. Two senior secured loans and two subordinated debt investments, which were purchased near December 31, 2011, were valued at cost, as the Company’s board of directors determined that the cost of each investment was the best indication of its fair value. The Company valued its TRS for a portfolio of senior secured floating rate loans in accordance with the agreements governing such arrangement. Pursuant to those agreements, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company for review and testing. The Company’s valuation committee and board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly determination of net asset value. To the extent the Company’s valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation will be discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS. For additional disclosures on the Company’s TRS, see Note 8.

The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices received from the third-party pricing services against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the Company’s experience in purchasing and selling these investments, the Company believes that these prices are reliable indicators of fair value. However, because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported), the Company believes that these valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company may also use other methods to determine fair value for securities for which it cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through third-party pricing services or independent dealers, including the use of an independent valuation firm. The Company periodically benchmarks the valuations provided by the independent valuation firm against the actual prices at which it purchases and sells its investments. The Company’s valuation committee and board of directors reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation process.

(1) Except as otherwise described in this footnote, the remaining Level 3 assets were valued by using independent third-party pricing services, which provided prevailing bid and ask prices that were screened for validity by the services from dealers on the date of the relevant period end. The TRS was valued in accordance with the agreements governing such arrangement as discussed above. One of the Company’s senior secured loan investments, which was purchased near March 31, 2012, was valued at cost ($44,100), as the Company’s board of directors determined that the cost of the investment was the best indication of its fair value.

 

(2) For investments utilizing a market comparables valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the market yield, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, and a significant increase (decrease) in any of the valuation multiples, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. For investments utilizing a discounted cash flow valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. For investments utilizing an option valuation model valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the volatility, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Note 8. Total Return Swap

On March 18, 2011, Arch Street entered into the TRS with Citibank. On June 9, 2011, Arch Street entered into an amendment to the TRS to increase the maximum market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS from $200,000 to $300,000, and on February 16, 2012, Arch Street entered into a second amendment to the TRS to increase this amount from $300,000 to $515,000.

A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. A TRS effectively adds leverage to a portfolio by providing investment exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing directly in such market. Because of the unique structure of a TRS, a TRS often offers lower financing costs than are offered through more traditional borrowing arrangements.

The TRS with Citibank enables the Company, through its ownership of Arch Street, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the TRS, without actually owning them, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to Arch Street borrowing funds to acquire loans and incurring interest expense to a lender.

The obligations of Arch Street under the TRS are non-recourse to the Company and the Company’s exposure under the TRS is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Arch Street, which generally will equal the value of cash collateral provided by Arch Street under the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Arch Street may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum aggregate market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $515,000. Arch Street is required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of each loan (generally between 20% and 25% of the market value of such loan) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the agreements governing the TRS. Under the terms of the TRS, Arch Street has agreed not to draw upon, or post as collateral, such cash collateral in respect of other financings or operating requirements prior to the termination of the TRS. Neither the cash collateral required to be posted with Citibank nor any other assets of Arch Street are available to pay the debts of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement that the Company has entered into with Arch Street, the Company acts as the manager of the rights and obligations of Arch Street under the TRS, including selecting the specific loans to be included in the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. Accordingly, the loans selected by Arch Street for purposes of the TRS are selected by the Company in accordance with its investment objectives and strategy to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Arch Street may select any loan or obligation available in the market to be included in the portfolio of loans that meets the obligation criteria set forth in the agreements between Arch Street and Citibank which collectively establish the TRS and are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement.

Each individual loan, and the portfolio of loans taken as a whole, must meet criteria described in the TRS Agreement. Under the terms of the TRS, Citibank, as calculation agent, determines whether there has been a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria in the TRS. If such failure continues for 30 days following the delivery of notice thereof, then Citibank has the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the TRS. Arch Street receives from Citibank all interest and fees payable in respect of the loans included in the portfolio. Arch Street pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, + 1.27% per annum (which rate was one-month LIBOR + 1.25% per annum prior to the increase in the size of the TRS to $515,000). In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Arch Street will either receive from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such loan, or pay to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.

Under the terms of the TRS, Arch Street may be required to post additional cash collateral, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of depreciation in the value of the underlying loans after such value decreases below a specified amount. The limit on the additional collateral that Arch Street may be required to post pursuant to the TRS is equal to the difference between the full notional amount of the loans underlying the TRS and the amount of cash collateral already posted by Arch Street. The amount of collateral required to be posted by Arch Street is determined primarily on the basis of the aggregate value of the underlying loans.

The Company has no contractual obligation to post any such additional collateral or to make any interest payments to Citibank. The Company may, but is not obligated to, increase its equity investment in Arch Street

Note 8. Total Return Swap (continued)

 

for the purpose of funding any additional collateral or payment obligations for which Arch Street may become obligated during the term of the TRS. If the Company does not make any such additional investment in Arch Street and Arch Street fails to meet its obligations under the TRS, then Citibank will have the right to terminate the TRS and seize the cash collateral posted by Arch Street under the TRS. In the event of an early termination of the TRS, Arch Street would be required to pay an early termination fee.

Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after March 18, 2013, the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS. Arch Street may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing no more than 30 days, and no less than 10 days, prior notice to Citibank. Any termination prior to the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS will result in payment of an early termination fee to Citibank based on the maximum notional amount of the TRS. Under the terms of the TRS, the early termination fee will equal the present value of a stream of monthly payments which would be owed by Arch Street to Citibank for the period from the termination date through and including March 18, 2013. Such monthly payments will equal the product of (x) 90%, multiplied by (y) the aggregate notional amount of the TRS ($515,000), multiplied by (z) 1.27% per annum. If the TRS had been terminated as of March 31, 2012, Arch Street would have been required to pay an early termination fee of approximately $4,502. Arch Street is required to pay a minimum usage fee in connection with the TRS. Arch Street also pays Citibank customary fees in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the TRS.

The value of the TRS is based primarily on the valuation of the underlying portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, on each business day, Citibank values each underlying loan in good faith on a mark-to-market basis by determining how much Citibank would receive on such date if it sold the loan in the open market. Citibank reports the mark-to-market values of the underlying loans to Arch Street. Each of the loans underlying the TRS is required to be rated by Moody’s and S&P and quoted by a nationally-recognized pricing service.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of the TRS was $2,516 and $(1,996), respectively. The fair value of the TRS is reflected as an unrealized gain (loss) on total return swap on the consolidated balance sheets. The change in value of the TRS is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap.

As of March 31, 2012, Arch Street had selected 116 underlying loans with a total notional amount of $491,581 and posted $126,567 in cash collateral held by Citibank (of which only $109,791 was required to be posted), which is reflected in due from counterparty on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2011, Arch Street had selected 70 underlying loans with a total notional amount of $298,498 and posted $69,684 in cash collateral held by Citibank (of which only $61,460 was required to be posted), which is reflected in due from counterparty on the consolidated balance sheets.

For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company as a BDC, the Company has agreed with the staff of the SEC to treat the outstanding notional amount of the TRS, less the initial amount of any cash collateral required to be posted by Arch Street under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Note 8. Total Return Swap (continued)

 

Further, for purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, the Company has agreed with the staff of the SEC to treat each loan underlying the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible portfolio company and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

The following is a summary of the underlying loans subject to the TRS as of March 31, 2012:

Note 9. Share Repurchase Program

The Company intends to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company’s board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:

 

   

the effect of such repurchases on the Company’s qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);

 

   

the liquidity of its assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);

 

   

the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements;

 

   

the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company’s size;

 

   

the Company’s history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof; and

 

   

the condition of the securities markets.

The Company currently intends to limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares it can repurchase with the proceeds it receives from the sale of shares under its distribution reinvestment plan. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. In addition, the Company will limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each quarter, though the actual number of shares that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company will offer to repurchase such shares on each date of repurchase at a price equal to 90% of the current offering price in effect on each date of repurchase. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ notice. The first such tender offer commenced in March 2010, and the repurchase occurred in connection with the Company’s April 1, 2010 closing. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company repurchased 385,526 shares at $9.585 per share for aggregate consideration totaling $3,695. On April 2, 2012, the Company repurchased 411,815 shares at $9.675 per share for aggregate consideration totaling $3,984.

Note 10. Revolving Credit Facility

On March 23, 2012, Broad Street, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, or Deutsche Bank, and the other lenders party thereto entered into an amendment, or the March 2012 amendment, to the multi-lender, syndicated revolving credit facility, or the credit facility, that Broad Street originally entered into with Deutsche Bank on March 10, 2010. Deutsche Bank is a lender and serves as administrative agent under the credit facility.

The March 2012 amendment extended the maturity date of the credit facility to March 23, 2013, increased the amount of the Tranche C Commitment (described below) from $100,000 to $140,000 and reduced the interest rate for all borrowings under the credit facility to a rate of LIBOR + 1.50% per annum. In connection with the March 2012 amendment, Broad Street paid Deutsche Bank a setup fee of $950 and has agreed to pay Deutsche Bank an additional $950 upon the termination date of the credit facility, provided that such termination fee will not be payable if Broad Street refinances the credit facility with Deutsche Bank or enters into an alternate financing arrangement with or through Deutsche Bank.

Note 10. Revolving Credit Facility (continued)

 

The credit facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate amount up to $380,000. Pursuant to the terms of the credit facility, borrowings thereunder may be designated as Tranche A borrowings in an amount up to $240,000 (referred to herein as the Tranche A Commitment) or as Tranche C borrowings in an amount up to $140,000 (referred to herein as the Tranche C Commitment). The credit facility also provides for Tranche B borrowings in an amount up to $100,000 (referred to herein as the Tranche B Commitment), but there are currently no Tranche B Commitments outstanding. All Tranche A Commitments and Tranche C Commitments bear interest at the rate of LIBOR + 1.50% per annum and will mature and be due and payable on March 23, 2013. Prior to the March 2012 amendment, Tranche A Commitments bore interest at the rate of LIBOR + 2.23% and Tranche C Commitments bore interest at the rate of LIBOR + 1.85% per annum.

Under the credit facility, the Company has transferred from time to time debt securities to Broad Street as a contribution to capital and retains a residual interest in the contributed debt securities through the Company’s ownership of Broad Street. The Company may contribute additional debt securities to Broad Street from time to time and Broad Street may purchase additional debt securities from various sources. Broad Street has appointed the Company to manage its portfolio of debt securities pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement. Broad Street’s obligations to the lenders under the credit facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Broad Street, including its portfolio of debt securities. The obligations of Broad Street under the credit facility are non-recourse to the Company and the Company’s exposure under the credit facility is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Broad Street.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $340,000 was outstanding under the credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the credit facility approximates its fair value. The Company incurred costs of $2,504 in connection with obtaining and amending the credit facility, which the Company has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheets and amortizes to interest expense over the life of the credit facility. As of March 31, 2012, $927 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

The effective interest rate under the credit facility was 1.96% as of March 31, 2012. Interest is paid quarterly in arrears and commenced August 20, 2010. The Company recorded interest expense of $2,424 and $2,193 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, of which $194 and $206, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. The Company paid $2,236 and $1,777 in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The average borrowings under the credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $340,000 and $331,696, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.62% and 2.40%, respectively.

Borrowings under the credit facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base, pursuant to which the amount of funds advanced to Broad Street varies depending upon the types of assets in Broad Street’s portfolio. The occurrence of certain events described as “Super-Collateralization Events” in the credit agreement that governs the credit facility, or a decline in the Company’s net asset value below a specified threshold, results in a lowering of the amount of funds that will be advanced against such assets. Super-Collateralization Events include, without limitation, (i) certain key employees ceasing to be directors, principals, officers or investment managers of GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, or GDFM, the sub-adviser to the Company; (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of GDFM or FB Advisor; (iii) GDFM ceasing to act as the Company’s sub-adviser or FB Advisor ceasing to act as the Company’s investment adviser; (iv) the Company ceasing to act

Note 12. Repurchase Transaction

On July 21, 2011, the Company entered into a conventional debt financing arrangement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, or JPM, through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, pursuant to which up to $300,000 was made available to the Company to fund investments in new securities and for other general corporate purposes. On February 15, 2012, the Company amended the JPM financing arrangement to increase the amount of the debt financing available under the arrangement from $300,000 to $400,000. Pricing under the facility is based on three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.25% per annum for the relevant period. The Company elected to structure the financing in the manner described more fully below in order to, among other things, obtain such financing at a lower cost than would be available through alternate arrangements.

Pursuant to the financing transaction, loans in the Company’s portfolio having an aggregate market value of up to $800,000 may be sold by the Company from time to time to Locust Street, a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an asset transfer agreement the Company entered into with Locust Street, or the Asset Transfer Agreement. Under the Asset Transfer Agreement, as of March 31, 2012, the Company had sold loans to Locust Street for a purchase price of approximately $365,396, all of which consisted of equity interests in Locust Street that Locust Street issued to the Company. The Company owns all of the equity in Locust Street.

Note 12. Repurchase Transaction (continued)

 

Loans purchased by Locust Street will secure the obligations of Locust Street under Class A Floating Rate Notes, or the Class A Notes, to be issued by Locust Street from time to time to Race Street, another special-purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an indenture that Locust Street entered into with Citibank, as trustee, or the Indenture. The Class A Notes may be issued in an aggregate principal amount of up to $560,000 and mature on July 15, 2021. Race Street will purchase the issued Class A Notes from time to time at a purchase price equal to their par value and intends to purchase up to $560,000 in aggregate principal amount of such Class A Notes. The Company owns all of the equity in Race Street.

Race Street, in turn, has entered into repurchase transactions with JPM pursuant to the terms of a master repurchase agreement and the related annex and amended and restated confirmation to such agreement, or collectively, the JPM Facility. Pursuant to the JPM Facility, JPM has agreed to purchase from time to time Class A Notes held by Race Street for an aggregate purchase price equal to approximately 71% of the principal amount of Class A Notes purchased. Subject to certain conditions, the maximum principal amount of Class A Notes that may be purchased under the JPM Facility is $560,000. Accordingly, the maximum amount payable at any time to Race Street under the JPM Facility will not exceed $400,000. Under the JPM Facility, Race Street will, on a quarterly basis, repurchase the Class A Notes sold to JPM under the JPM Facility and subsequently resell such Class A Notes to JPM. The final repurchase transaction must occur no later than July 15, 2015. The repurchase price paid by Race Street to JPM for each repurchase of the Class A Notes will be equal to the purchase price paid by JPM for such Class A Notes, plus interest thereon accrued at the applicable pricing rate under the JPM Facility, as described below.

If at any time during the term of the JPM Facility the market value of the underlying loans held by Locust Street securing the Class A Notes declines by an amount greater than 27% of their initial aggregate purchase price, or the Margin Threshold, Race Street will be required to post cash collateral with JPM in an amount at least equal to the amount by which the market value of such loans at such time is less than the Margin Threshold. In such event, in order to satisfy these margin-posting requirements, Race Street intends to borrow funds from the Company pursuant to a revolving credit agreement the Company entered into, as lender, with Race Street, as borrower, on July 21, 2011, or the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company may, in its sole discretion, make such loans from time to time to Race Street pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement accrue interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.75% per annum.

Interest on the Class A Notes accrues at three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.00% per annum. Principal on the Class A Notes will be due and payable on the stated maturity date of July 15, 2021. Pursuant to the Indenture, Locust Street has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. In addition to customary events of default included in similar transactions, the Indenture contains the following events of default: (a) the failure to make principal payments on the Class A Notes at their stated maturity or redemption date, or to make interest payments on the Class A Notes within five business days of when due; (b) the failure of the aggregate outstanding principal balance (subject to certain reductions) of the loans securing the Class A Notes to be at least 130% of the outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes; and (c) GDFM ceasing to be the sub-advisor to FB Advisor.

In connection with the Class A Notes and the Indenture, Locust Street also entered into (i) a collateral management agreement with the Company, as collateral manager, dated as of July 21, 2011, pursuant to which the Company will manage the assets of Locust Street, and (ii) a collateral administration agreement with Virtus

Group, LP, or Virtus, as collateral administrator, dated as of July 21, 2011, pursuant to which Virtus will perform certain administrative services with respect to the assets of Locust Street.

Pricing under the JPM Facility is based on three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.25% per annum for the relevant period. Commencing January 2013, Race Street is permitted to reduce (based on certain thresholds) the aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes subject to the JPM Facility. Such reductions will be subject to breakage fees calculated as the present value of 1.25% per annum over the remaining term of the JPM Facility applied to the amount of such reduction.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Class A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $420,000 and $300,000, respectively, had been purchased by Race Street from Locust Street and subsequently sold to JPM under the JPM Facility for aggregate proceeds of $300,000 and $214,286, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of loans held by Locust Street was $699,451 and $576,830, respectively, which included loans purchased by Locust Street with proceeds from the issuance of Class A Notes. On April 16, 2012, an additional Class A Note in the principal amount of $70,000 was purchased by Race Street from Locust Street and subsequently sold to JPM for proceeds of $50,000. The Company funded each purchase of Class A Notes by Race Street through a capital contribution to Race Street. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Race Street’s liability under the JPM Facility was $300,000 and $214,286, respectively, plus $2,385 and $1,294, respectively, of accrued interest expense. The Class A Notes issued by Locust Street and purchased by Race Street eliminate in consolidation on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company incurred costs of $425 in connection with obtaining the JPM Facility, which the Company has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheets and amortizes to interest expense over the life of the JPM Facility. As of March 31, 2012, $353 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

The effective interest rate on the borrowings under the JPM Facility was 3.82% as of March 31, 2012. The Company recorded interest expense of $2,757 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, of which $27 related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. The Company paid $1,639 in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The average borrowings under the JPM Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $283,987 with a weighted average interest rate of 3.79%.

Amounts outstanding under the JPM Facility will be considered borrowings by the Company for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs.

(3) The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions paid per share during the period.

 

(4) The issuance of common stock on a per share basis reflects the incremental net asset value changes as a result of the issuance of shares of common stock in the Company’s continuous public offering and pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. The issuance of common stock at an offering price, net of sales commissions and dealer manager fees, that is greater than the net asset value per share results in an increase in net asset value per share.

 

(5) The per share impact of the Company’s repurchases of common stock is a reduction to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

(6) The total return for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of March 31, 2012, adding the cash distributions per share which were declared during the period and dividing the total by the net asset value per share on December 31, 2011. The 2011 total return was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of December 31, 2011, adding the cash distributions per share which were declared during the calendar year and dividing the total by the net asset value per share on December 31, 2010. The total return does not consider the effect of the sales load from the sale of the Company’s common stock. The total return includes the effect of the issuance of shares at a net offering price that is greater than net asset value per share, which causes an increase in net asset value per share.

 

(7) Weighted average net assets during the period are used for this calculation. Ratios and portfolio turnover are not annualized.

Overview

We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on December 21, 2007, and commenced operations on January 2, 2009 upon raising gross proceeds in excess of $2,500 from persons who were not affiliated with us or FB Advisor. We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.

Our investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and, to a lesser extent, subordinated loans of private U.S. companies. We may purchase interests in loans through secondary market transactions in the “over-the-counter” market for institutional loans or directly from our target companies. In connection with our debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also purchase minority interests in the form of common or preferred equity in our target companies, either in conjunction with one of our debt investments or through a co-investment with a financial sponsor. In addition, a portion of our portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds and other debt securities. However, such investments are not expected to comprise a significant portion of our portfolio.

The senior secured and second lien secured loans in which we invest generally have stated terms of three to seven years and any subordinated debt investments that we make generally will have stated terms of up to ten years, but the expected average life of such securities is generally between three and seven years. However, there is no limit on the maturity or duration of any security in our portfolio. The loans in which we invest are often rated by a nationally-recognized statistical ratings organization and generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service or lower than “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s Corporation). However, we also invest in non-rated debt securities.

Revenues

The principal measure of our financial performance is net increase in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income, net realized gain on investments, net realized gain on total return swap, net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments, net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on total return swap and net unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency. Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating expenses. Net realized gain on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their stated cost. Net realized gain on total return swap is the net monthly settlement payments

received on the TRS. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on total return swap is the net change in fair value of our total return swap. Net unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency is the net change in the value of receivables or accruals due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

We also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity or other securities we hold. In addition, we may generate revenues in the form of commitment, closing, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments will be recognized as earned.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of advisory fees and other expenses under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, interest expense from financing facilities and other expenses necessary for our operations. Our investment advisory fee compensates FB Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. FB Advisor is responsible for compensating our investment sub-adviser.

We also reimburse FB Advisor for its performance of services related to our administration and operation, provided that such reimbursement must be the lower of FB Advisor’s actual costs or the amount that we would be required to pay for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location, and provided further that such costs are reasonably allocated to us on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. We do not reimburse FB Advisor for any services for which it receives a separate fee, or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of FB Advisor. We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions, including (without limitation) fees and expenses relating to:

 

   

corporate and organizational expenses relating to offerings of our common stock, subject to limitations included in the investment advisory and administrative services agreement;

 

   

the cost of calculating our net asset value, including the cost of any third-party pricing or valuation services;

 

   

the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and other securities;

 

   

investment advisory fees;

 

   

fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, making investments and valuing investments, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of prospective investments;

As of March 31, 2012, the investments in our portfolio were purchased at an average price of 95.3% of par or stated value, as applicable, the weighted average credit rating of the investments in our portfolio that were rated (constituting approximately 67.2% of our portfolio based on the fair value of our investments) was B2 based upon the Moody’s scale and our estimated gross annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage, was 10.2% based upon the purchase price of our investments.

As of December 31, 2011, our investment portfolio, with a total fair value of $1,844,358, consisted of interests in 183 portfolio companies (55% in first lien senior secured loans, 21% in second lien senior secured loans, 7% in senior secured bonds, 12% in subordinated debt, 4% in collateralized securities and 1% in equity/other) with an average annual EBITDA of approximately $390.0 million. As of December 31, 2011, the investments in our portfolio were purchased at an average price of 94.1% of par or stated value, as applicable, the weighted average credit rating of the investments in our portfolio that were rated (constituting approximately 70.9% of our portfolio based on the fair value of our investments) was B2 based upon the Moody’s scale and our estimated gross annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage, was 10.4% based upon the purchase price of our investments.

We do not “control” and are not an “affiliate” of any of our portfolio companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the 1940 Act, we would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if we owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an “affiliate” of a portfolio company if we owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

Our investment portfolio may contain loans that are in the form of lines of credit or revolving credit facilities, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. As of March 31, 2012, we had four such investments, all of which were revolving loan agreements with an aggregate unfunded commitment of $19,486. As of December 31, 2011, we had four such investments, three of which were revolving loan agreements with an aggregate unfunded commitment of $20,302 and one of which was an unfunded bridge loan commitment with an aggregate unfunded commitment of $35,000. We maintain sufficient cash on hand to fund such unfunded loan commitments should the need arise.

Portfolio Asset Quality

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, FB Advisor uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. FB Advisor uses an investment rating scale of 1 to 5. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:

 

Investment
  Rating
  

Summary Description

1    Investment exceeding expectations and/or capital gain expected.
2    Performing investment generally executing in accordance with the portfolio company’s business plan—full return of principal and interest expected.
3    Performing investment requiring closer monitoring.
4    Underperforming investment—some loss of interest or dividend expected, but still expecting a positive return on investment.
5    Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

The amount of the portfolio in each grading category may vary substantially from period to period resulting primarily from changes in the composition of the portfolio as a result of new investment, repayment and exit activities. In addition, changes in the grade of investments may be made to reflect our expectation of performance and changes in investment values.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011

Revenues

We generated investment income of $50,535 and $17,924 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in the form of interest earned on senior secured loans, senior secured bonds, subordinated debt, collateralized loan obligations and collateralized debt obligations in our portfolio and dividends and other distributions earned on equity/other securities. Such revenues represent $47,455 and $16,508 of cash income earned as well as $3,080 and $1,416 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Cash flows related to such non-cash revenues may not occur for a number of reporting periods or years after such revenues are recognized. The increase in investment income is due primarily to the growth of our portfolio over the last year. The level of investment income we receive is directly related to the balance of interest-bearing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments. We expect the dollar amount of interest and any dividend income that we earn to increase as the size of our investment portfolio increases.

Expenses

Our total operating expenses were $35,643 and $11,908 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our operating expenses include base management fees attributed to FB Advisor of $12,204 and $4,761 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our operating expenses also include administrative services expenses attributed to FB Advisor of $903 and $584 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

FB Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on performance. We accrued incentive fee expenses of $14,801 and $3,271 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, of which $14,719 and $2,142, respectively, was based on unrealized gains and $82 and $1,129, respectively, was based on realized gains. No such fee is actually payable by us with respect to unrealized gains unless and until those gains are actually realized. See “—Critical Accounting Policies—Capital Gains Incentive Fee.”

We recorded interest expense of $5,181 and $2,193 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in connection with our credit facility and the JPM Facility. Fees incurred with our fund administrator, which provides various accounting and administrative services to us, totaled $421 and $222 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We incurred expenses with our stock transfer agent of $940 and $295 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(1) On March 14, 2011, William Goebel was appointed as our chief financial officer. Prior to that date, we had contracted with Pine Hill Group, LLC to provide the services of Charles Jacobson as our chief financial officer. Mr. Goebel is employed by Franklin Square Holdings and will not receive any direct compensation from us in this capacity. As a result, for periods after March 31, 2011, this line item does not include compensation paid to our chief financial officer and only represents compensation paid to our chief compliance officer.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the ratio of our operating expenses to our average net assets was 2.08% and 2.48%, respectively. We generally expect our operating expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets during periods of asset growth and increase as a percentage of our total assets during periods of asset declines. Our ratio of operating expenses to our average net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, includes $5,181 and $2,193, respectively, related to interest expense and $14,801 and $3,271, respectively, related to accruals for incentive fees. Without such expenses, our ratio of operating expenses to average net assets would have been 0.92% and 1.34%, respectively. Incentive fees, interest expense and costs relating to our continuous public offering, among other things, may also increase or decrease our operating expenses in relation to our expense ratios relative to comparative periods depending on portfolio performance, changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR and offerings of our securities, among other factors. The lower ratio of operating expenses to average net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 can primarily be attributed to the spreading of our operating expenses over a larger asset base.

As the size of our asset base and number of investors have grown, our general and administrative expenses have increased accordingly. Printing fees have increased as the number of filings has increased and the volume of each printing has increased in conjunction with an increase in the number of stockholders. In addition, the fees payable to our directors who do not also serve in an executive officer capacity for us or FB Advisor are determined by reference to a sliding scale based on our net asset value.

Over the next several quarters, we expect our operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to level off as we close our public offering and the size of our asset base stabilizes.

Expense Reimbursement

Beginning on February 26, 2009, Franklin Square Holdings agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that was sufficient to ensure that, for tax purposes, our net investment income and net capital gains were equal to or greater than the cumulative distributions paid to our stockholders in each quarter. This arrangement was designed to ensure that no portion of our distributions would represent a return of capital for our stockholders. Under this arrangement, Franklin Square Holdings had no obligation to reimburse any portion of our expenses.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement entered into on March 13, 2012, Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no portion of our distributions to stockholders will be paid from our offering proceeds or borrowings. However, because certain investments we may make, including preferred and common equity investments, may generate dividends and other distributions to us that are treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, a portion of our distributions to stockholders may also be deemed to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that we may use such dividends or other distribution proceeds to fund our distributions to stockholders. Under those circumstances, Franklin Square Holdings will not reimburse us for the portion of such distributions to stockholders that represent a return of capital for tax purposes, as the purpose of the expense reimbursement arrangement is not to prevent tax-advantaged distributions to stockholders.

Under the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse us for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between our cumulative distributions paid to our stockholders in each quarter, less the sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts are not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) in each quarter.

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, we will have a conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings under such agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which Franklin Square Holdings funded such amount, the sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by us to stockholders. The expense reimbursement agreement does not apply to any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings prior to the date of such agreement.

We or Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. If we terminate the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FB Advisor, we will be required to repay Franklin Square Holdings all reimbursements funded by Franklin Square Holdings within three years of the date of termination.

The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, no such reimbursements were required from Franklin Square Holdings. Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by our chairman, president and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, and our vice-chairman, David J. Adelman. There can be no assurance that the expense reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse any portion of our expenses in future quarters.

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $14,892 ($0.08 per share) and $6,016 ($0.12 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in net investment income on a per share basis can be attributed to, among other things, the accelerated rate of capital raising in our public offering during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the resulting cash drag due to the pace of deployment of such capital.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

We sold investments and received principal repayments of $79,704 and $139,880, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, from which we realized net losses of $3,102. We also realized a net gain on our TRS of $5,074 and a net gain of $17 from foreign currency transactions during the three months ended

Table of Contents

March 31, 2012. We sold investments and received principal repayments of $252,903 and $145,781, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2011, from which we realized net gains of $5,653.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments and Total Return Swap and Unrealized Gain/Loss on Foreign Currency

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $61,017, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our TRS was $4,512 and the net change in unrealized gain/loss on foreign currency totaled $0. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $10,393, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our TRS was $208, and the net change in unrealized gain/loss on foreign currency totaled $52. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was primarily driven by a general strengthening in the credit markets during the relevant periods.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $82,410 ($0.45 per share) compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $22,322 ($0.45 per share) during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sold 42,836,184 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $452,338. The gross proceeds received during the three months ended March 31, 2012 include reinvested stockholder distributions of $17,206, for which we issued 1,792,143 shares of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we also incurred offering costs of $1,515 in connection with the sale of our common stock, which consisted primarily of legal, due diligence and printing fees. The offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par in our consolidated financial statements. The sales commissions and dealer manager fees related to the sale of our common stock were $40,660 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. These sales commissions and fees include $7,783 retained by the dealer manager, FS2, which is one of our affiliates.

As of May 14, 2012, we have sold 234,018,906 shares (as adjusted for stock distributions) of our common stock for gross proceeds of $2,461,756 since commencing our continuous public offering. Including the seed capital contributed by Messrs. Forman and Adelman, we have raised gross proceeds of $2,462,756 as of May 14, 2012.

We generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of our ongoing continuous public offering and from cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. We are engaged in a continuous public offering of shares of our common stock, which we expect will close during May 2012.

Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the net proceeds from our continuous public offering primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, consistent with our BDC election and our election to be taxed as a RIC.

As of March 31, 2012, we had $315,568 in cash, which we have invested in interest bearing accounts, and $126,567 in cash held as collateral by Citibank under the terms of the TRS.

Revolving Credit Facility

On March 23, 2012, Broad Street, Deutsche Bank and the other lenders party thereto entered into the March 2012 amendment to the credit facility that Broad Street originally entered into with Deutsche Bank on March 10, 2010. Deutsche Bank is a lender and serves as administrative agent under the credit facility.

The March 2012 amendment extended the maturity date of the credit facility to March 23, 2013, increased the amount of the Tranche C Commitment (described below) from $100,000 to $140,000 and reduced the interest rate for all borrowings under the credit facility to a rate of LIBOR + 1.50% per annum. In connection with the March 2012 amendment, Broad Street paid Deutsche Bank a setup fee of $950 and has agreed to pay Deutsche Bank an additional $950 upon the termination date of the facility, provided that such termination fee will not be payable if Broad Street refinances the credit facility with Deutsche Bank or enters into an alternate financing arrangement with or through Deutsche Bank.

The credit facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate amount up to $380,000. Pursuant to the terms of the credit facility, borrowings thereunder may be designated as Tranche A borrowings in an amount up to $240,000 (referred to herein as the Tranche A Commitment) or as Tranche C borrowings in an amount up to $140,000 (referred to herein as the Tranche C Commitment). The credit facility also provides for Tranche B borrowings in an amount up to $100,000 (referred to herein as the Tranche B Commitment), but there are currently no Tranche B Commitments outstanding. All Tranche A Commitments and Tranche C Commitments bear interest at the rate of LIBOR + 1.50% per annum and will mature and be due and payable on March 23, 2013. Prior to the March 2012 amendment, Tranche A Commitments bore interest at the rate of LIBOR + 2.23% and Tranche C Commitments bore interest at the rate of LIBOR + 1.85% per annum.

Under the credit facility, we have transferred from time to time debt securities to Broad Street as a contribution to capital and retain a residual interest in the contributed debt securities through our ownership of Broad Street. We may contribute additional debt securities to Broad Street from time to time and Broad Street may purchase additional debt securities from various sources. Broad Street has appointed us to manage its portfolio of debt securities pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement. Broad Street’s obligations to the lenders under the credit facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Broad Street, including its portfolio of debt securities. The obligations of Broad Street under the credit facility are non-recourse to us and our exposure under the credit facility is limited to the value of our investment in Broad Street.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $340,000 was outstanding under the credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the credit facility approximates its fair value. We incurred costs of $2,504 in connection with obtaining and amending the credit facility, which we have recorded as

Table of Contents

deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance sheets and amortize to interest expense over the life of the credit facility. As of March 31, 2012, $927 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

The effective interest rate under the credit facility was 1.96% on March 31, 2012. Interest is paid quarterly in arrears and commenced August 20, 2010. We recorded interest expense of $2,424 and $2,193 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, of which $194 and $206, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. We paid $2,236 and $1,777 in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The average borrowings under the credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $340,000 and $331,696, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.62% and 2.40%, respectively.

Borrowings under the credit facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base, pursuant to which the amount of funds advanced to Broad Street varies depending upon the types of assets in Broad Street’s portfolio. The occurrence of certain events described as “Super-Collateralization Events” in the credit agreement that governs the credit facility, or a decline in our net asset value below a specified threshold, results in a lowering of the amount of funds that will be advanced against such assets. Super-Collateralization Events include, without limitation, (i) certain key employees ceasing to be directors, principals, officers or investment managers of GDFM, the sub-adviser to FB Advisor; (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of GDFM or FB Advisor; (iii) GDFM ceasing to act as our sub-adviser or FB Advisor ceasing to act as our investment adviser; (iv) our ceasing to act as Broad Street’s investment manager, becoming bankrupt or insolvent, defaulting on certain material agreements or failing to maintain a net asset value at least equal to $50,000; and (v) us, GDFM or FB Advisor committing fraud or other illicit acts in our or their investment advisory capacities.

In connection with the credit facility, Broad Street has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. In addition to customary events of default included in financing transactions, the credit facility contains the following events of default: (a) the failure to make principal payments when due or interest payments within three business days of when due; (b) borrowings under the credit facility exceeding the applicable advance rates; (c) the purchase by Broad Street of certain ineligible assets; (d) the insolvency or bankruptcy of Broad Street or us; (e) we cease to act as investment manager of Broad Street’s assets; (f) the decline of our net asset value below $50,000; and (g) fraud or other illicit acts by us, FB Advisor or GDFM in our or their investment advisory capacities. During the continuation of an event of default, Broad Street must pay interest at a default rate.

Borrowings of Broad Street will be considered borrowings by us for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs.

Total Return Swap

On March 18, 2011, Arch Street entered into a TRS for senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank. On June 9, 2011, Arch Street entered into an amendment to the TRS to increase the maximum market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS from $200,000 to $300,000, and on February 16, 2012, Arch Street entered into a second amendment to the TRS to increase this amount from $300,000 to $515,000.

The TRS with Citibank enables us, through our ownership of Arch Street, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the TRS, without actually owning them, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to Arch Street borrowing funds to acquire loans and incurring interest expense to a lender.

The obligations of Arch Street under the TRS are non-recourse to us and our exposure under the TRS is limited to the value of our investment in Arch Street, which generally will equal the value of cash collateral provided by Arch Street under the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Arch Street may select a portfolio of

 

56


Table of Contents

loans with a maximum aggregate market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $515,000. Arch Street is required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of each loan (generally between 20% and 25% of the market value of such loan) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the TRS Agreement. Under the terms of the TRS, Arch Street has agreed not to draw upon, or post as collateral, such cash collateral in respect of other financings or operating requirements prior to the termination of the TRS. Neither the cash collateral required to be posted with Citibank nor any other assets of Arch Street are available to pay our debts.

Pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement that we have entered into with Arch Street, we act as the manager of the rights and obligations of Arch Street under the TRS, including selecting the specific loans to be included in the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. Accordingly, the loans selected by Arch Street for purposes of the TRS are selected by us in accordance with our investment objectives and strategy to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Arch Street may select any loan or obligation available in the market to be included in the portfolio of loans that meets the obligation criteria set forth in the TRS Agreement.

Each individual loan, and the portfolio of loans taken as a whole, must meet criteria described in the TRS Agreement. Under the terms of the TRS, Citibank, as calculation agent, determines whether there has been a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria in the TRS. If such failure continues for 30 days following the delivery of notice thereof, then Citibank has the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the TRS. Arch Street receives from Citibank all interest and fees payable in respect of the loans included in the portfolio. Arch Street pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR + 1.27% per annum (which rate was one-month LIBOR + 1.25% per annum prior to the increase in the size of the TRS to $515,000). In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Arch Street will either receive from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.

Under the terms of the TRS, Arch Street may be required to post additional cash collateral, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of depreciation in the value of the underlying loans after such value decreases below a specified amount. The limit on the additional collateral that Arch Street may be required to post pursuant to the TRS is equal to the difference between the full notional amount of the loans underlying the TRS and the amount of cash collateral already posted by Arch Street. The amount of collateral required to be posted by Arch Street is determined primarily on the basis of the aggregate value of the underlying loans.

We have no contractual obligation to post any such additional collateral or to make any interest payments to Citibank. We may, but are not obligated to, increase our equity investment in Arch Street for the purpose of funding any additional collateral or payment obligations for which Arch Street may become obligated during the term of the TRS. If we do not make any such additional investment in Arch Street and Arch Street fails to meet its obligations under the TRS, then Citibank will have the right to terminate the TRS and seize the cash collateral posted by Arch Street under the TRS. In the event of an early termination of the TRS, Arch Street would be required to pay an early termination fee.

Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after March 18, 2013, the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS. Arch Street may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing no more than 30 days, and no less than 10 days, prior notice to Citibank. Any termination prior to the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS will result in payment of an early termination fee to Citibank based on the maximum notional amount of the TRS. Under the terms of the TRS, the early termination fee will equal the present value of a stream of monthly payments which would be owed by Arch Street to Citibank for the period from the termination date through and including March 18, 2013. Such monthly payments will equal the product of (x) 90%, multiplied by (y) the aggregate notional amount of the TRS ($515,000), multiplied by (z) 1.27% per annum. If the TRS had been terminated as of March 31, 2012, Arch Street would have been required to pay an early termination fee of approximately $4,502. Arch Street is required to pay a minimum usage fee in connection with the TRS. Arch Street also pays Citibank customary fees in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the TRS.

Table of Contents

The value of the TRS is based primarily on the valuation of the underlying portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, on each business day, Citibank values each underlying loan in good faith on a mark-to-market basis by determining how much Citibank would receive on such date if it sold the loan in the open market. Citibank reports the mark-to-market values of the underlying loans to Arch Street. Each of the loans underlying the TRS is required to be rated by Moody’s and S&P and quoted by a nationally-recognized pricing service.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of the TRS was $2,516 and $(1,996), respectively. The fair value of the TRS is reflected as an unrealized gain (loss) on total return swap on our consolidated balance sheets. The change in value of the TRS is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap.

As of March 31, 2012, Arch Street had selected 116 underlying loans with a total notional amount of $491,581 and posted $126,567 in cash collateral held by Citibank (of which only $109,791 was required to be posted), which is reflected in due from counterparty on our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2011, Arch Street had selected 70 underlying loans with a total notional amount of $298,498 and posted $69,684 in cash collateral held by Citibank (of which only $61,460 was required to be posted), which is reflected in due from counterparty on our consolidated balance sheets.

For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to us as a BDC, we have agreed with the staff of the SEC to treat the outstanding notional amount of the TRS, less the initial amount of any cash collateral required to be posted by Arch Street under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. We may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Further, for purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, we have agreed with the staff of the SEC to treat each loan underlying the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible portfolio company and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company. We may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

JPM Financing

On July 21, 2011, we entered into a conventional debt financing arrangement with JPM, through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, pursuant to which up to $300,000 was made available to us to fund investments in new securities and for other general corporate purposes. On February 15, 2012, we amended the JPM financing arrangement to increase the amount of the debt financing available under the arrangement from $300,000 to $400,000. Pricing under the facility is based on three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.25% per annum for the relevant period. We elected to structure the financing in the manner described more fully below in order to, among other things, obtain such financing at a lower cost than would be available through alternate arrangements.

Pursuant to the financing transaction, loans in our portfolio having an aggregate market value of up to $800,000 may be sold by us from time to time to Locust Street, a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of ours, pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement. Under the Asset Transfer Agreement, as of March 31, 2012, we had sold loans to Locust Street for a purchase price of approximately $365,396, all of which consisted of equity interests in Locust Street that Locust Street issued to us. We own all of the equity in Locust Street.

Loans purchased by Locust Street will secure the obligations of Locust Street under the Class A Notes to be issued by Locust Street from time to time to Race Street, another special-purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of ours, pursuant to the Indenture. The Class A Notes may be issued in an aggregate principal amount of up to $560,000 and mature on July 15, 2021. Race Street will purchase the issued Class A Notes from time to time at a

purchase price equal to their par value and intends to purchase up to $560,000 in aggregate principal amount of such Class A Notes. We own all of the equity in Race Street.

Race Street, in turn, has entered into a repurchase transaction with JPM pursuant to the terms of the JPM Facility. Pursuant to the JPM Facility, JPM has agreed to purchase from time to time Class A Notes held by Race Street for an aggregate purchase price equal to approximately 71% of the principal amount of Class A Notes purchased. Subject to certain conditions, the maximum principal amount of Class A Notes that may be purchased under the JPM Facility is $560,000. Accordingly, the maximum amount payable at any time to Race Street under the JPM Facility will not exceed $400,000. Under the JPM Facility, Race Street will, on a quarterly basis, repurchase the Class A Notes sold to JPM under the JPM Facility and subsequently resell such Class A Notes to JPM. The final repurchase transaction must occur no later than July 15, 2015. The repurchase price paid by Race Street to JPM for each repurchase of the Class A Notes will be equal to the purchase price paid by JPM for such Class A Notes, plus interest thereon accrued at the applicable pricing rate under the JPM Facility, as described below.

If at any time during the term of the JPM Facility the market value of the underlying loans held by Locust Street securing the Class A Notes declines by an amount greater than the Margin Threshold, Race Street will be required to post cash collateral with JPM in an amount at least equal to the amount by which the market value of such loans at such time is less than the Margin Threshold. In such event, in order to satisfy these margin-posting requirements, Race Street intends to borrow funds from us pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement. We may, in our sole discretion, make such loans from time to time to Race Street pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement accrue interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.75% per annum.

Interest on the Class A Notes accrues at three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.00% per annum. Principal on the Class A Notes will be due and payable on the stated maturity date of July 15, 2021. Pursuant to the Indenture, Locust Street has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. In addition to customary events of default included in similar transactions, the Indenture contains the following events of default: (a) the failure to make principal payments on the Class A Notes at their stated maturity or redemption date, or to make interest payments on the Class A Notes within five business days of when due; (b) the failure of the aggregate outstanding principal balance (subject to certain reductions) of the loans securing the Class A Notes to be at least 130% of the outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes; and (c) GDFM ceasing to be the sub-advisor to FB Advisor.

In connection with the Class A Notes and the Indenture, Locust Street also entered into (i) a collateral management agreement with us, as collateral manager, dated as of July 21, 2011, pursuant to which we will manage the assets of Locust Street, and (ii) a collateral administration agreement with Virtus, as collateral administrator, dated as of July 21, 2011, pursuant to which Virtus will perform certain administrative services with respect to the assets of Locust Street.

Pricing under the JPM Facility is based on three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.25% per annum for the relevant period. Commencing January 2013, Race Street is permitted to reduce (based on certain thresholds) the aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes subject to the JPM Facility. Such reductions will be subject to breakage fees calculated as the present value of 1.25% per annum over the remaining term of the JPM Facility applied to the amount of such reduction.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Class A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $420,000 and $300,000, respectively, had been purchased by Race Street from Locust Street and subsequently sold to JPM under the JPM Facility for aggregate proceeds of $300,000 and $214,286, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of loans held by Locust Street was $699,451 and $576,830, respectively, which included loans purchased by Locust Street with proceeds from the issuance of

Class A Notes. On April 16, 2012, an additional Class A Note in the principal amount of $70,000 was purchased by Race Street from Locust Street and subsequently sold to JPM for proceeds of $50,000. We funded each purchase of Class A Notes by Race Street through a capital contribution to Race Street. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Race Street’s liability under the JPM Facility was $300,000 and $214,286, respectively, plus $2,385 and $1,294, respectively, of accrued interest expense. The Class A Notes issued by Locust Street and purchased by Race Street eliminate in consolidation on our financial statements.

We incurred costs of $425 in connection with obtaining the JPM Facility, which we have recorded as deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance sheets and amortize to interest expense over the life of the JPM Facility. As of March 31, 2012, $353 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

The effective interest rate on the borrowings under the JPM Facility was 3.82% as of March 31, 2012. We recorded interest expense of $2,757 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, of which $27 related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. We paid $1,639 in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The average borrowings under the JPM Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $283,987 with a weighted average interest rate of 3.79%.

Amounts outstanding under the JPM Facility will be considered borrowings by us for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs.

RIC Status and Distributions

We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify as a RIC, we must distribute at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” as defined by the Code, each year. As long as the distributions are declared by the due date of the tax return, including extensions, distributions paid up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. We intend to make sufficient distributions to our stockholders to qualify for and maintain our RIC status each year. We are also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if we do not distribute at least 98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of any capital gain net income, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which we paid no federal income taxes.

Following commencement of our operations, we declared our first distribution on January 29, 2009. Subject to the board of directors’ discretion and applicable legal restrictions, we intend to authorize and declare distributions on either a semi-monthly or monthly basis and pay distributions on either a monthly or quarterly basis. While we historically paid distributions on a quarterly basis, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2010, we began to pay distributions on a monthly rather than quarterly basis. We will calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the period using record and declaration dates and each stockholder’s distributions will begin to accrue on the date we accept such stockholder’s subscription for shares of our common stock. From time to time, we may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of our common stock at the discretion of our board of directors. During certain periods, our distributions may exceed our earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital for tax purposes. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the distributions will be mailed to our stockholders. No portion of the distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2012 or 2011 represented a return of capital for tax purposes.

We make our ordinary distributions in the form of cash, out of assets legally available, unless stockholders elect to receive their distributions in additional shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain taxable to the U.S. stockholder.

On April 10, 2012, our board of directors declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.033594 per share each, which were paid on April 30, 2012 to stockholders of record on April 13, 2012 and April 30, 2012, respectively. On May 11, 2012, our board of directors declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.033594 per share each, which are expected to be paid on May 31, 2012 to stockholders of record on May 15, 2012 and May 30, 2012, respectively. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors.

We have adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for our stockholders. As a result, if we make a distribution, our stockholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock.

We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to us, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions that we have paid on our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

(1) During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 94% and 92%, respectively, of our gross investment income was attributable to cash interest earned and 6% and 8%, respectively, was attributable to non-cash accretion of discount.

Our net investment income on a tax basis for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $35,006 and $7,965, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $137 and $2,145, respectively, of undistributed net investment income on a tax basis.

The difference between our GAAP-basis net investment income and our tax-basis net investment income is due to the tax-basis amortization of organization and start-up costs incurred prior to the commencement of our operations, the reversal of interest income earned on a tax basis due to the required accretion of discount on a non-performing loan which was sold during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the required accrual for GAAP purposes of incentive fees on unrealized gains even though no such incentive fees on unrealized gains are payable by us, the inclusion of realized gains on the TRS in tax-basis net investment income and the accretion of discount on the TRS. The following table sets forth a reconciliation between GAAP-basis net investment income and tax-basis net investment income during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is made annually as of the end of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of our distributions for a full year. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders are reported to stockholders annually on a Form 1099-DIV.

The purpose of these special stock distributions was to maintain a net asset value per share that was below the then-current offering price, after deduction of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, as required by the 1940 Act, subject to certain limited exceptions. Our board of directors determined that our portfolio performance sufficiently warranted taking these actions.

The stock distributions increased the number of shares outstanding, thereby reducing our net asset value per share. However, because the stock distributions were issued to all stockholders in proportion to their current holdings, the reduction in net asset value per share as a result of the stock distributions was offset exactly by the increase in the number of shares owned by each investor. As overall value to an investor was not reduced as a result of the special stock distributions, our board of directors determined that these issuances would not be

dilutive to existing stockholders. As the stock distributions did not change any stockholder’s proportionate interest in us, they did not represent taxable distributions.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the gross unrealized depreciation on our investments and TRS and loss on foreign currency was $27,512 and $48,032, respectively.

The aggregate cost of our investments for federal income tax purposes totaled $2,204,781 and $1,862,625 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis, including our TRS, was $44,934 and $(20,263) as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As our expected operating plans occur we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our future financial statements in addition to those discussed below:

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

We determine the net asset value of our investment portfolio each quarter. Securities that are publicly-traded are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. Securities that are not publicly-traded are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors. In connection with that determination, FB Advisor prepares portfolio company valuations using relevant inputs, including, but not limited to, indicative dealer quotes, values of like securities, recent portfolio company financial statements and forecasts, and valuations prepared by third-party valuation services.

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or ASC Topic 820, issued by the FASB, clarifies the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities where there is little or no activity in the market; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, we undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

   

our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by FB Advisor’s management team, with such valuation potentially taking into account information received from our sub-adviser or an independent valuation firm, if applicable;

 

   

preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our valuation committee;

 

   

our valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuation and FB Advisor’s management team, together with our independent valuation firm, if applicable, responds and supplements the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the valuation committee; and

 

   

our board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of FB Advisor, the valuation committee and any third-party valuation firm, if applicable.

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, 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. Below is a description of factors that our board of directors may consider when valuing our equity and debt investments.

Valuation of fixed income investments, such as loans and debt securities, depends upon a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates for like securities, expected volatility in future interest rates, call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt. For investments without readily available market prices, we may incorporate these factors into discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that our board of directors may consider include the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, the fair market value of the portfolio company in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt and the quality of collateral securing our debt investments.

Our equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. Our board of directors, in its analysis of fair value, may consider various factors, such as multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or our actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.

Our board of directors may also look to private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party investments in the portfolio companies or industry practices in determining fair value. Our board of directors may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses, as well as any other factors it deems relevant in assessing the value. Generally, the value of our equity interests in public companies for which market

 

64


Table of Contents

quotations are readily available is based upon the most recent closing public market price. Portfolio securities that carry certain restrictions on sale are typically valued at a discount from the public market value of the security.

The fair values of our investments are determined in good faith by our board of directors. Our board of directors is solely responsible for the valuation of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to our valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process.

Our investments as of March 31, 2012 consisted primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investors. Except as described below, we valued our investments by using independent third-party pricing services, which provided prevailing bid and ask prices that were screened for validity by the services from dealers on the date of the relevant period end. Twelve senior secured loan investments and five subordinated debt investments, for which broker quotes were not available, were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined the value of such investments by considering, among other factors, the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, prevailing interest rates for like investments, call features and other relevant terms of the debt. All of our equity/other investments were valued by the same independent valuation firm, which determined the value of such investments by considering, among other factors, contractual rights ascribed to such investments, as well as various income scenarios and multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. One senior secured loan investment, which was purchased near March 31, 2012, was valued at cost, as our board of directors determined that the cost of such investment was the best indication of its fair value. We valued the TRS in accordance with the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to us for review and testing. Our valuation committee and board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly determination of net asset value. To the extent our valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation will be discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS. For additional disclosures on the TRS, see “—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Total Return Swap.”

Our investments as of December 31, 2011 consisted primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investors. Except as described below, we valued our investments by using independent third-party pricing services, which provided prevailing bid and ask prices that were screened for validity by the services from dealers on the date of the relevant period end. Eleven senior secured loan investments and three subordinated debt investments, for which broker quotes were not available, were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined the value of such investments by considering, among other factors, the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, prevailing interest rates for like investments, call features and other relevant terms of the debt. All of our equity/other investments were valued by the same independent valuation firm, which determined the value of such investments by considering various factors, such as multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. Two senior secured loans and two subordinated debt investments, which were purchased near December 31, 2011, were valued at cost, as our board of directors determined that the cost of each investment was the best indication of its fair value. We valued the TRS in accordance with the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to us for review and testing. Our valuation committee and board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly determination of net

asset value. To the extent our valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation will be discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS. For additional disclosures on the TRS, see “—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Total Return Swap.”

We periodically benchmark the bid and ask prices we receive from the third-party pricing services against the actual prices at which we purchase and sell our investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and our experience in purchasing and selling these investments, we believe that these prices are reliable indicators of fair value. However, because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported), we believe that these valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. We may also use other methods to determine fair value for securities for which we cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through third-party pricing services or independent dealers, including the use of an independent valuation firm. We periodically benchmark the valuations provided by the independent valuation firm against the actual prices at which we purchase and sell our investments. Our valuation committee and board of directors reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with our valuation process.

Revenue Recognition

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. We record dividend income on the ex-dividend date. We do not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such income. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and we amortize such amounts as interest income over the respective term of the loan. We record prepayment premiums on loans and securities as interest income when we receive such amounts.

Net Realized Gains or Losses, Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation and Net Change in Unrealized Gains or Losses on Foreign Currency

Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated by using the specific identification method. We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses, when gains or losses are realized. Net change in unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency reflects the change in the value of receivables or accruals during the reporting period due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee

Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement we entered into with FB Advisor, the incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments of our portfolio during operations prior to our liquidation is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year. Such fee will equal 20.0% of our incentive fee capital gains (i.e., our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a quarterly basis, we accrue for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.

While the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FB Advisor neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an

 

66


Table of Contents

interpretation of an AICPA Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, commencing during the quarter ended December 31, 2010, we changed our methodology for accruing for this incentive fee to include unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee expense and related capital gains incentive fee payable. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to FB Advisor if our entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though FB Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $14,801 based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $14,719 was based on unrealized gains and $82 was based on realized gains. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we accrued $3,271 in capital gains incentive fees based on the performance of our portfolio during such period, of which $2,142 was based on unrealized gains and $1,129 was based on realized gains. As of March 31, 2012, we had accrued $14,801 in capital gains incentive fees.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

We evaluate our tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of a tax benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not incur any interest or penalties.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into an agreement with FB Advisor to provide us with investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement are equal to (a) an annual base management fee of 2.0% of the average value of our gross assets and (b) an incentive fee based on our performance. FB Advisor, and to the extent it is required to provide such services, our sub-adviser, are reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on our behalf. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we incurred $12,204 and $4,761, respectively, in base management fees and $903 and $584, respectively, in administrative services expenses under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. In addition, FB Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on performance. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $14,801 based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $14,719 was based on unrealized gains and $82 was based on realized gains. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we accrued $3,271 in capital gains incentive fees based on the performance of our portfolio during such period, of which $2,142 was based on unrealized gains and $1,129 was based on realized gains. As of March 31, 2012, we had accrued $14,801 in capital gains incentive fees.

As of March 31, 2012, $340,000 was outstanding under the credit facility between Broad Street and Deutsche Bank. All such amounts will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on March 23, 2013. As of March 31, 2012, Race Street had sold $420,000 in aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes to JPM under the JPM Facility for aggregate proceeds of $300,000. Race Street will, on a quarterly basis, repurchase the Class A Notes sold to JPM under the JPM Facility and subsequently resell such Class A Notes to JPM. The final repurchase transaction must occur no later than July 15, 2015.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This guidance represents the converged guidance of the Accounting Boards on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Accounting Boards reflected in this guidance have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value” and enhanced disclosure requirements for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The Accounting Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments to the FASB codification in this guidance are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We have implemented this guidance and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, except for enhanced disclosures around fair value measurements.

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into an investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FB Advisor. Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FB Advisor is paid a base management fee of 2.0% of average gross assets and an incentive fee of 20.0% of net investment income, subject to an annualized 8.0% hurdle, and 20.0% of net realized capital gains, if applicable. We commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement on January 2, 2009, upon the commencement of our operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, FB Advisor earned $12,204 and $4,761, respectively, in base management fees. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. We paid $8,631 and $3,297, respectively, of these fees during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. As of March 31, 2012, there was $13,145 in management fees payable to FB Advisor.

We accrue for the capital gains incentive fee, which, if earned, is paid annually. We accrue the incentive fee based on net realized and unrealized gains. However, under the terms of our investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the fee payable to FB Advisor is based on realized gains and no such fee is payable with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $14,801 based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $14,719 was based on unrealized gains and $82 was based on realized gains. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we accrued $3,271 in capital gains incentive fees based on the performance

 

68


Table of Contents

of our portfolio during such period, of which $2,142 was based on unrealized gains and $1,129 was based on realized gains. As of March 31, 2012, we had accrued $14,801 in capital gains incentive fees.

We also reimburse FB Advisor for expenses necessary for its performance of services related to our administration and operation, provided that such reimbursement is equal to the lower of FB Advisor’s actual costs or the amount that we would be required to pay for comparable services in the same geographic location, and provided further that such costs are reasonably allocated to us on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we incurred administrative services expenses of $903 and $584, respectively, attributable to FB Advisor. Of these expenses, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, $740 and $578, respectively, related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services provided to us by employees of FB Advisor and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses. We paid FB Advisor $174 and $477, respectively, for the services rendered under this arrangement during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. As of March 31, 2012, there was $883 in administrative services expenses payable to FB Advisor.

The dealer manager for our public offering is FS2, which is one of our affiliates. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, FS2 retained $7,783 and $3,568, respectively, for selling commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of our common stock.

Under the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, when our registration statement was declared effective by the SEC and we were successful in satisfying the minimum offering requirement, FB Advisor became entitled to receive 1.5% of gross proceeds raised until all offering costs and organization costs funded by FB Advisor or its affiliates (including Franklin Square Holdings) have been recovered. On January 2, 2009, we exceeded the minimum offering requirement. We paid total reimbursements of $0 and $641 to FB Advisor and its affiliates during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, no amounts were payable to FB Advisor and its affiliates under this arrangement. The reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of capital.

FB Advisor’s senior management team is comprised of the same personnel as the senior management team of FS Investment Advisor, LLC and FSIC II Advisor, LLC, the investment advisers to Franklin Square Holdings’ other affiliated BDCs, FS Energy and Power Fund and FS Investment Corporation II, respectively. As a result, such personnel provide investment advisory services to us and each of FS Energy and Power Fund and FS Investment Corporation II. While none of FB Advisor, FS Investment Advisor, LLC or FSIC II Advisor, LLC is currently making private corporate debt investments for clients other than us, FS Energy and Power Fund and FS Investment Corporation II, respectively, any, or all, may do so in the future. In the event that FB Advisor undertakes to provide investment advisory services to other clients in the future, it intends to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with our investment objectives and strategies, if necessary, so that we will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of FB Advisor or its management team. In addition, even in the absence of FB Advisor retaining additional clients, it is possible that some investment opportunities may be provided to FS Energy and Power Fund and/or FS Investment Corporation II rather than to us.

Beginning on February 26, 2009, Franklin Square Holdings agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that was sufficient to ensure that, for tax purposes, our net investment income and net capital gains were equal to or greater than the cumulative distributions paid to our stockholders in each quarter. This arrangement was designed to ensure that no portion of our distributions would represent a return of capital for our stockholders. Under this arrangement, Franklin Square Holdings had no obligation to reimburse any portion of our expenses.

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement entered into on March 13, 2012, Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no portion of our distributions to stockholders will be paid from our offering proceeds or borrowings. However, because certain

 

69


Table of Contents

investments we may make, including preferred and common equity investments, may generate dividends and other distributions to us that are treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, a portion of our distributions to stockholders may also be deemed to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that we may use such dividends or other distribution proceeds to fund our distributions to stockholders. Under those circumstances, Franklin Square Holdings will not reimburse us for the portion of such distributions to stockholders that represent a return of capital for tax purposes, as the purpose of the expense reimbursement arrangement is not to prevent tax-advantaged distributions to stockholders.

Under the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse us for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between our cumulative distributions paid to our stockholders in each quarter, less the sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts are not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) in each quarter.

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, we will have a conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings under such agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which Franklin Square Holdings funded such amount, the sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by us to stockholders. The expense reimbursement agreement does not apply to any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings prior to the date of such agreement.

We or Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. If we terminate the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FB Advisor, we will be required to repay Franklin Square Holdings all reimbursements funded by Franklin Square Holdings within three years of the date of termination.

The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, no such reimbursements were required from Franklin Square Holdings. Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by our chairman, president and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, and our vice-chairman, David J. Adelman. There can be no assurance that the expense reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse any portion of our expenses in future quarters.

 

Item  3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2012, approximately 36.5% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) paid fixed interest rates, approximately 1.5% were non-income producing and the remainder paid variable interest rates. 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. To the extent that a majority of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates would make it easier for us to meet or exceed our incentive fee preferred return, as defined in the investment advisory and administrative services agreement we have entered into with FB Advisor, and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income, and also to the amount of incentive fees payable to FB Advisor with respect to our increased pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Pursuant to the terms of the credit facility which Broad Street maintains with Deutsche Bank, Broad Street borrows at a floating rate based on LIBOR. Under the terms of the TRS between Arch Street and Citibank, Arch Street pays fees to Citibank at a floating rate based on LIBOR in exchange for the right to receive the economic

benefit of a pool of loans having a maximum notional amount of $515,000. Pursuant to the terms of the financing arrangement with JPM, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement, pricing of repurchase transactions under the JPM Facility and interest on the Class A Notes are all subject to a floating rate based on LIBOR. We expect any future credit facilities, total return swap agreements or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries may enter into will also be based on a floating interest rate. As a result, we are subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we or our subsidiaries have debt outstanding or swap agreements in effect, our interest expense would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.

The following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on our interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in our investment portfolio and borrowing arrangements in effect as of March 31, 2012:

(1) Includes the net effect of the change in interest rates on the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the TRS. Assumes no defaults or prepayments by portfolio companies over the next twelve months.

We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and long-term debt. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

In addition, we may have risk regarding portfolio valuation. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies—Valuation of Portfolio Investments.”

 

Item  4. Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that we would meet our disclosure obligations.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
