Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

FS Investment Corporation (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 (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Company operates so as to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“the Code”).

Since commencing its initial public offering and through November 13, 2009, the Company has sold 8,655,261 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $81,508. The Company has raised gross proceeds to date of approximately $82,508, including $1,000 contributed by the principals of the Company’s investment adviser in February 2008. The following table summarizes the sales of common stock on a monthly basis during 2009:


	Shares Sold ⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾	Average Price per Share ^(1)(2)(3)		Gross Proceeds
January	353,914	$	7.77	$	2,750
February	476,848		7.97		3,802
March	211,872		8.39		1,778
April	494,513		8.30		4,104
May	767,978		8.68		6,667
June	607,925		9.05		5,500
July	970,110		9.29		9,016
August	1,068,380		9.60		10,258
September	1,402,035		9.88		13,855
October	1,196,434		10.32		12,353
November	1,105,252		10.34		11,425

	8,655,261	$	9.42	$	81,508

(1)	The number of shares sold includes 51,881 shares purchased through the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan.

(2)

The number of shares sold and the average sales price per share have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock distributions issued subsequent to the date at which the shares were sold. All shares were sold at prices between $9.00 and $10.40 per share, depending on the amount of discounts or commissions waived by the dealer manager.

(3)	The Company announced an increase in its public offering price to $10.40 per share beginning with the closing that occurred on October 1, 2009. The purpose of this action was to ensure that the Company’s net asset value per share does not exceed its net offering price, as required by the 1940 Act.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered

FS Investment Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except share information)

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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with its audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. The December balance sheet is derived from the 2008 audited financial statements. The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through November 13, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 information.

Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Company records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we collect such amounts and records dividend income on the ex-dividend date for public securities and on the record date for all other securities. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if it has reason to doubt the ability to collect such income. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discount are capitalized and such amounts are amortized as interest income over the respective term of the loan.

Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as interest income when it receives such amounts.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation: Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated by using the specific identification method. The Company measures 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 and prepayment penalties. 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 appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

Income Taxes: The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it distributes at least 90% of “Investment Company Taxable Income”, as defined by the Code, each year. Dividends paid up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the dividends paid in such tax year. The Company is also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute at least 98% of net ordinary income, realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no federal income taxes.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded as of the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the board of directors monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.

Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168, The Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which names the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting and reporting standards in the United States, in addition to guidance issued by the SEC. The ASC is a restructuring of accounting and reporting standards designed to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing the authoritative literature in a topically organized structure. The ASC reduces the U.S. GAAP hierarchy to two levels, one that is authoritative and one that is not. The ASC is not intended to change U.S. GAAP or any requirements of the SEC. The ASC became authoritative upon its release on July 1, 2009 and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

On September 30, 2008, the FASB and the SEC issued a joint press release clarifying the application of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (as codified in the ASC under topic 820) in a market that is not active. The FASB subsequently issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset is Not Active (as codified in the ASC under subtopic 820-10-35-55A), which clarifies that the fair value of an investment should reflect an exit price in an orderly transaction, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. In a dislocated market, judgment is required to determine whether transactions are forced liquidations or distressed sales. The guidance also reiterated that an entity should utilize its own assumptions, information and techniques to estimate fair value when relevant observable inputs are not available. The third area of clarification was that broker or pricing services quotes may not be determinative if an active market does not exist, and whether the quotes are indicative or binding should also be considered when weighting the available evidence.

In April 2009, FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (as codified in the ASC under subtopic 820-10-65-4), which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. The subtopic also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The guidance is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (as codified in the ASC under subtopic 825-10-65-1), which requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods, as well as annual reporting periods. This guidance is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (as codified in the ASC under subtopic 320-10-35), which provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Events (as codified in the ASC under topic 855). This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except share information)

sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Although there is new terminology, the guidance is based on the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. The guidance, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance has not had a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

The Company has entered into an investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FB Income Advisor, LLC (“FB Advisor” or the “investment adviser”). Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the investment adviser is paid a base management fee and certain incentive fees, if applicable. The Company commenced accruing fees under the agreement on January 2, 2009, upon the commencement of the Company’s operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the investment adviser earned $240 and $392, respectively, in base management fees. The Company paid $151 of these fees as of September 30, 2009. During the third quarter, the Company began accruing for the capital gains incentive fee, which if earned, is paid by the Company annually. The Company believes that it is probable that this fee will be earned during 2009 and has accrued $136 in capital gains incentive fees for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. 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 shall be 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 will be reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred administrative services charges of $78 and $172, respectively, attributable to the investment adviser. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has paid FB Advisor $114 for the services incurred under this arrangement.

The Company’s investment adviser has also funded offering costs and organization costs in the amount of $328 and $1,633 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These costs have been recorded by the Company as a contribution to capital. The offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par on the financial statements and the organization costs were charged to expense as incurred by the Company. The company incurred organization costs of $127 and $477, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. No such costs were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Under the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, when the Company’s Registration Statement was brought effective by the SEC and the Company was successful in raising gross proceeds from unrelated outside investors of at least $2.5 million (the “minimum offering requirement”), the investment adviser became entitled to receive 1.5% of gross proceeds raised until all offering costs and organization costs listed above and any future offering or organization costs incurred have been recovered. On January 2, 2009, the Company exceeded its minimum offering requirement. The Company paid total reimbursements of $883 to its investment adviser during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of capital.

Members of the Company’s investment adviser’s senior management team provide investment advisory services to both the Company and FB Capital Partners, L.P. FB Capital Partners, L.P., which is owned by Mr. Forman, the Company’s chief executive officer, was organized for the purpose of sourcing and managing income-oriented investments for institutions and high net worth individuals. While neither FB Capital Partners nor the Company’s investment adviser is making private corporate debt investments for clients other than the

Company currently, the Company’s investment adviser 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 the Company’s investment adviser or its management team.

Beginning on February 26, 2009, the Company’s affiliate and sponsor, Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., which does business as Franklin Square Capital Partners (“Franklin Square Holdings”), agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that the Company’s net investment income and net short-term capital gains are equal to or greater than the cumulative distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders in each quarter. This arrangement is designed to ensure that no portion of the Company’s distributions will represent a return of capital for the Company’s stockholders. Franklin Square Holdings has no obligation to reimburse any portion of the Company’s expenses but has indicated that it expects to continue such reimbursements until it deems that the Company has achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that the Company bears a reasonable level of expenses in relation to its income. The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, these reimbursements totaled $64 and $240, respectively. Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by the Company’s president and chief executive officer, Michael Forman, and its director, David Adelman. There can be no assurance that Franklin Square Holdings will continue reimbursing any portion of the Company’s expenses in future quarters.

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

FS Investment Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except share information)

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.

At September 30, 2009, the Company’s investments were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:


Valuation Inputs	Investments
Level 1—Price quotations in active markets	$	—
Level 2—Significant other observable inputs		—
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs		54,559

	$	54,559

Valuation of 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, the Company will incorporate these factors into discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that the Company 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 the debt investments.

All but one of the Company’s investments as of September 30, 2009 consisted of senior secured loans that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investors. The Company primarily valued its senior secured bond investment by obtaining the bid and ask prices from an independent dealer. The Company valued all of its other investments by using an independent third party pricing service, which provided prevailing bid and ask prices that were screened for validity by the service, from dealers on the date of the relevant period end. Based on its 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 the Company could not obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through its third party pricing service. 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.

You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements and projections contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933.

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 $2.5 million from persons who are not affiliated with us or FB Advisor. We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end 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 as a RIC under the Code.

Our investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We anticipate that our portfolio will be comprised primarily of investments in senior secured loans,

second lien secured loans and, to a lesser extent, long-term subordinated loans, referred to as mezzanine loans, of private U.S. companies. We may purchase interests in loans through secondary market transactions 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, on an opportunistic basis, we may purchase corporate bonds and other debt securities. However, such investments will not 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 mezzanine investments that we make generally will have stated terms of up to ten years, but the expected average life of such loans 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 that we invest in are often rated by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (NRSRO), 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).

Current Market Conditions

Since the third quarter of 2007, global credit and other financial markets have suffered substantial stress, volatility, illiquidity and disruption. These forces reached extraordinary levels in late 2008, resulting in the bankruptcy of, the acquisition of, or government intervention in the affairs of several major domestic and international financial institutions. In particular, the financial services sector has been negatively impacted by significant write-offs as the value of the assets held by financial firms has declined, impairing their capital positions and abilities to lend and invest. We believe that such value declines were exacerbated by widespread forced liquidations as leveraged holders of financial assets, faced with declining prices, were compelled to sell to meet margin requirements and maintain compliance with applicable capital standards. Such forced liquidations have also impaired or eliminated many investors and investment vehicles, leading to a decline in the supply of capital for investment and depressed pricing levels for many assets. These events significantly diminished overall confidence in the debt and equity markets, engendered unprecedented declines in the values of certain assets, and caused extreme economic uncertainty.

Since March 2009, there have been signs that the global credit and other financial market conditions have improved markedly as stability has increased throughout the international financial system. Concentrated policy initiatives undertaken by central banks and governments appear to have curtailed the incidence of large-scale failures within the global financial system. Concurrently, investor confidence, financial indicators, capital markets activity and asset prices have shown signs of marked improvement during 2009. While financial conditions have improved, economic activity has remained subdued as unemployment rates continue to rise. Corporate interest rate risk premiums, otherwise known as credit spreads, remain at high levels compared to historical averages, particularly in the loan and high yield bond markets. These conditions may negatively impact our ability to obtain financing, particularly from the debt markets. In addition, while future financial market uncertainty could lead to further financial market disruptions and could further impact our ability to obtain financing, we believe that these conditions also afford attractive opportunities to make investments.

Portfolio Investment Activity For The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we invested $53,644 in 46 portfolio companies. During the same period we exited positions totaling $5,816 in nine portfolio companies and received principal repayments of $1,376. As of September 30, 2009, our investment portfolio, with a total fair value of $54,559, consisted of interests in 37 portfolio companies (53% in first lien senior secured loans, 42% in second lien senior secured loans and 5% in senior secured bonds) with an average annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $309.7 million. The investments in our portfolio were purchased

at an average price of 76.8% of par value. On September 30, 2009, the weighted average credit rating of our portfolio was B3 based upon the Moody’s scale and our estimated gross annual portfolio yield was 14.6% based upon purchase price.

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.

Portfolio Asset Quality

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our investment adviser uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. The investment adviser 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 following table shows the distribution of our debt investments on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of September 30, 2009.


	September 30, 2009
Investment Rating	Investments at Fair Value		Percentage of Total Portfolio
1	$	5,239	10	%
2		49,320	90	%
3		—	0	%
4		—	0	%
5		—	0	%

Total	$	54,559	100	%

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

We commenced operations on January 2, 2009, when we raised in excess of $2.5 million from persons who are not affiliated with us or FB Advisor. As a result, no comparisons with the comparable 2008 periods have been included.

Revenues

Since commencing operations on January 2, 2009, we have generated revenue of $1,353 and $2,081 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, in the form of interest earned on senior secured loans and corporate bonds in our portfolio. Such revenues represent cash interest earned as well as non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest, if any. 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 level of interest 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. We also plan to generate revenues in the form of dividends on the equity or other securities we may hold. In addition, we may generate revenues in the form of commitment, 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we did not own any equity interests in our portfolio companies and, therefore, did not receive dividend payments or other fees from our portfolio companies.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses are the payment of advisory fees and other expenses under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. 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-advisor.

We also reimburse FB Advisor for its performance of services related to our administration and operation, provided that such reimbursement shall 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 will be 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, nor 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 valuation services;

•

the cost of effecting sales and repurchase 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;

•

transfer agent and custodial fees;

•

fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;

•

federal and state registration fees;

•

federal, state and local taxes;

•

independent directors’ fees and expenses;

•

costs of proxy statements, stockholders’ reports and notices;

•

fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance and other insurance premiums;

•

direct costs such as printing, mailing, long distance telephone and staff;

•

fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

•

costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and applicable federal and state securities laws; and

•

all other expenses incurred by FB Advisor, our sub-advisor or us in connection with administering our business, including expenses incurred by FB Advisor or our sub-advisor in performing administrative services for us, and the reimbursement of the compensation of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer paid by FB Advisor, to the extent they are not controlling persons of FB Advisor or any of its affiliates, subject to the limitations included in the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.

Our total operating expenses were $785 and $1,515 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our operating expenses included base management fees attributed to FB Advisor of $240 and $392, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our operating expenses also included administrative services expenses attributed to FB Advisor of $78 and $172, respectively, and $136 and $136, respectively, in incentive fees based on performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our other general and administrative expenses totaled $331 and $815 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and consisted primarily of the following:


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2009		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
Fees paid to PNC Global Investment Servicing, which provides various accounting and administrative services	$	105	$	218
Expenses associated with our independent auditor		16		83
Compensation of our chief financial officer and our chief compliance officer		38		115
Fees paid to our stock transfer agent		78		152
Legal fees		34		99
Fees paid for insurance		21		56
Fees paid to our independent directors		26		26
Other		13		66

Total	$	331	$	815

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, our other general and administrative expenses have begun to increase as initial pricing arrangements that we negotiated with certain vendors, due to our relatively small scale, ceased. We expect these increases to continue over the next several quarters. In addition, our independent directors began receiving their fees in connection with their service as independent directors in the second half of 2009. Prior to June 30, 2009, our independent directors had agreed to waive all fees payable in connection with their service as members of our board of directors. Through September 30, 2009, the fees paid to our independent directors totaled $26.

Over the next several quarters, we expect our general and administrative operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to increase because of the anticipated growth in the size of our asset base. During periods of asset growth, we expect our general and administrative operating expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets and increase as a percentage of our total assets during periods of asset declines. Incentive fees, interest

expense and costs relating to our continuous 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.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred organization costs of $127 and $477, respectively, included in other general and administrative expenses, which represented our only operating activities at that time. These organization costs included, among other items, the cost of legal services pertaining to our organization and the incorporation of our business. These costs were paid on our behalf by an affiliate and were treated as capital contributions. No such costs were incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Expense Reimbursement

Beginning on February 26, 2009, our affiliate and sponsor, Franklin Square Holdings, agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that our net investment income and net short-term capital gains are equal to or greater than the cumulative distributions paid to our stockholders in each quarter. This arrangement is designed to ensure that no portion of our distributions will represent a return of capital for our stockholders. Franklin Square Holdings has no obligation to reimburse any portion of our expenses but has indicated that it expects to continue such reimbursements until it deems that we have achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that we bear a reasonable level of expenses in relation to our income. The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, these reimbursements totaled $64 and $240, respectively. Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by our president and chief executive officer, Michael Forman, and our director, David Adelman. There can be no assurance that Franklin Square Holdings will continue reimbursing any portion of our expenses in future quarters.

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $632 and $806 or $0.12 and $0.28 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

We had investment sales and received principal repayments of $5,816 and $1,376, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from which we realized net gains of $319 and $678, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our realized gains were primarily comprised of the sales of our first lien loans with BNY ConvergEx, N.E.W. Customer Service Cos., Inc. and the sale of senior unsecured bonds of OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC. In addition to the sales noted above, we realized gains as a result of the partial repayments at par of the outstanding amount of our investment tranches of senior secured loans primarily with Apptis (DE), Inc., Corel Corp., Data Transmission Network Corp., Global Tel Link Corp., Headwaters, Inc., King Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Quantum Corp. and WCP Exposition Services Operating Co.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on Investments

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the net change in unrealized appreciation on investments totaled $4,331 and $6,503, respectively. The unrealized appreciation on our investments was driven by a general increase in prices for senior secured debt as the loan market partially recovered from its historical lows reached in the fourth quarter of 2008. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we did not record any unrealized depreciation on our investments.

Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $5,282 and $7,987 and earnings per share was $1.02 and $2.82, respectively.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we sold 6,353,575 shares (as adjusted for stock distributions) of our common stock for gross proceeds of $57,730 and incurred related offering costs of $5,149. These offering costs consisted primarily of sales commissions of $4,839 and other offering costs such as legal and printing fees of $310. FB Advisor funded these other offering costs. As of November 13, 2009, we have sold 8,655,261 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $81,508 since commencing our continuous public offering. Including the seed capital contributed by Messrs. Forman and Adelman, we have raised gross proceeds of approximately $82,508 to date.

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 offering of shares of our common stock. We accept subscriptions on a continuous basis and issue shares at monthly closings at prices that, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are above our net asset value per share.

Prior to investing in debt securities of private U.S. companies, we will invest the net proceeds from our continuous 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 business development company election and our election to be taxed as a RIC.

As of September 30, 2009, we had $9,742 in cash which we have invested in an interest bearing money market account.

We may borrow funds to make investments, to the extent we determine that additional capital would allow us to take advantage of additional investment opportunities, if the market for debt financing presents attractively priced debt financing opportunities, or if our board of directors determines that leveraging our portfolio would be in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. We are in discussions with several parties regarding a leverage facility. If obtained, we expect lenders will require that this leverage be applied against a portfolio of senior secured loans, which, on an aggregate basis, must meet certain pre-defined credit quality standards. There can be no assurance that we will obtain leverage as anticipated. If we obtain leverage, we expect such leverage to be in the form of borrowings (loans) and through other forms which offer substantially similar exposure and characteristics, such as a total return swap. Any borrowings we make are required to be in compliance with the provisions of the 1940 Act. We do not currently anticipate issuing any preferred stock.

RIC Status and Distributions

We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it distributes at least 90% of “Investment Company Taxable Income”, as defined by the Code, each year. Dividends paid up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the dividends paid in such tax year. We intend to distribute sufficient dividends to 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, realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which we paid no federal income taxes.

We authorize and declare distributions monthly and pay distributions on a quarterly basis. We declared our first monthly distribution on January 29, 2009, and have declared cash distributions on a monthly basis

thereafter. Subject to the board of directors’ discretion and applicable legal restrictions, our board of directors intends to continue to authorize and declare a monthly distribution amount per share of our common stock.

We will then calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using record and declaration dates and each stockholder’s distributions will begin to accrue on the date we accept each stockholder’s subscription for shares of our common stock. From time to time, we may also pay special interim distributions in cash or shares of our common stock at the discretion of our board of directors. During certain quarters, 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. No portion of the distributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is expected to be a return of capital for tax purposes. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the distribution will be mailed to our stockholders.

We make our ordinary monthly distributions in the form of cash, out of assets legally available, unless stockholders elect to receive their distributions and/or long-term capital gains 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.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we have declared on our common stock to date:

(1)	The amount of each per share distribution has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock distributions declared throughout 2009 as discussed below.

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 and expense reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings. The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions that we have paid on our common stock to date:


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,

The following table reflects the stock distributions per share that we have declared on our common stock to date.


Date Declared	Record Date	Payment Date	Distribution Percentage		Shares Issued
March 31, 2009	March 31, 2009	March 31, 2009	1.4	%	13,818
April 30, 2009	April 30, 2009	April 30, 2009	3.0	%	42,661

August 31, 2009	August 31, 2009	August 31, 2009	3.0	%	148,072

The purpose of these special distributions was to maintain a net asset value (“NAV”) per share that was below the then-current net offering price, 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. We announced an increase in our offering price per share to $10.40 beginning with the closing that occurred on October 1, 2009 in order to ensure that our net asset value per share did not exceed our offering price.

The stock distributions increased the number of shares outstanding, thereby reducing NAV per share. However, because the stock distributions were issued to all shareholders in proportion to their current holdings, the reduction in NAV per share as a result of the stock distribution 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 shareholders. As the stock distributions did not change any shareholder’s proportionate interest in us, they are not expected to represent taxable distributions. Specific tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to shareholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 will be valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. Securities that are not publicly-traded will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors. In connection with that determination, FB Advisor will prepare 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.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, (as codified in the ASC under topic 820), which 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. This topic 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. This topic 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.

We will 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-advisor or an independent valuation firm, if applicable;

•

preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with our valuation committee;

•

our valuation committee will review the preliminary valuation and FB Advisor’s management team, together with our independent valuation firm, if applicable, will respond and supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the valuation committee; and

•

our board of directors will discuss valuations and will determine 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 financial statements will refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on our 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 will incorporate these factors into discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that our board will 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. The 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.

The 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. The 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

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 value of our investments at September 30, 2009 was 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.

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 and record dividend income on the ex-dividend date for public securities and on the record date for all other securities. 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. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and securities as interest income when we receive such amounts.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

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 and prepayment penalties. 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 appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into a contract with FB Advisor to provide investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement in future periods will be 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-advisor, will be reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on our behalf. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred approximately $240 and $392, respectively, in base management fees, $78 and $172, respectively, in administrative services expenses and $136 and $136, respectively, in incentive fees based on performance payable to FB Advisor under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note 3 to the Notes to our Unaudited Financial Statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for accounting standards that were issued since the filing of our annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. These new accounting standards are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation or liquidity.

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 and certain incentive fees, if applicable. We commenced accruing fees under the agreement on January 2, 2009, upon the commencement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, FB Advisor earned $240 and $392, respectively, in base management fees. The Company paid $151 of these fees as of September 30, 2009. During the third quarter, we began accruing for the capital gains incentive fee, which if earned, is paid by the Company annually. We believe that it is probable that this fee will be earned during 2009 and have recorded $136 in capital gains incentive fees for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. We also reimburse FB Advisor for expenses necessary for its performance of services related to our administration and operation, provided that such reimbursement shall be 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 will be reasonably allocated to us on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred administrative charges totaling $78 and $172, respectively, attributable to FB Advisor. As of September 30, 2009, we have paid FB Advisor $114 for the services incurred under this arrangement.

FB Advisor has funded offering costs and organization costs in the amount of $328 and $1,633 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We recorded these costs as a contribution to capital. The offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par on the financial statement and the organization costs were charged to expense as incurred. We incurred organization costs of $127 and $477, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. No such costs were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Under the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, after our registration statement was brought effective by the SEC and we successfully raised gross proceeds from unrelated outside investors of at least $2.5 million (the “minimum offering requirement”), FB Advisor became entitled to receive 1.5% of gross proceeds raised until all offering costs and organization costs listed above and any future offering or organization costs incurred have been recovered. On January 2, 2009, we exceeded the minimum offering requirement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we reimbursed $883 to FB Advisor. The reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of capital.

Members of FB Advisor’s senior management team provide investment advisory services to both us and FB Capital Partners. FB Capital Partners, which is owned by Mr. Forman, our chief executive officer, was organized for the purpose of sourcing and managing income-oriented investments for institutions and high net worth individuals. While neither FB Capital Partners nor our investment adviser is making private corporate debt investments for clients other than us currently, FB Advisor 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.

Recent Developments

The following table summarizes the sales of common stock on a monthly basis since September 30, 2009:


	Shares Sold ⁽¹⁾	Average Price per Share ⁽¹⁾		Gross Proceeds
October	1,196,434		10.32		12,353
November	1,105,252		10.34		11,425

	2,301,686	$	10.33	$	23,778

(1)	We announced an increase in our public offering price to $10.40 per share beginning with the closing that occurred on October 1, 2009. The purpose of this action was to ensure that our net asset value per share does not exceed our net offering price, as required by the 1940 Act.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2009, all but one of our portfolio investments paid variable interest rates. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to our debt investments, especially to the extent that we hold variable rate investments, and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we hold. Currently all but one of our investments pay variable rates. Accordingly, an increase in interest rates would make it easier for us to meet or exceed our incentive fee preferred return, as defined in our investment advisory and administrative services agreement, 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 increasing pre-incentive fee net investment income.

In addition, in the future we may seek to borrow funds in order to make additional investments. If we obtain leverage, we expect such leverage to be in the form of borrowings (loans) and through other forms which offer substantially similar exposure and characteristics, such as a total return swap. Any borrowings we make are required to be in compliance with the provisions of the 1940 Act. Our net investment income will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we would be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we have debt outstanding, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments. 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 materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 SEC Rule 13a-15(b), 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 the end of the period covered by this report. 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 that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

Neither we nor FB Advisor is currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us or against FB Advisor.

From time to time, we and individuals employed by FB Advisor may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

Other than the following, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Current market conditions have impacted debt and equity capital markets in the United States, and we do not expect these conditions to improve in the near future.

Economic activity has remained subdued as unemployment rates continue to rise. Corporate interest rate risk premiums, otherwise known as credit spreads, remain at high levels compared to historic averages, particularly in the loan and high yield bond markets. These conditions may negatively impact our ability to obtain financing, particularly from the debt markets. In addition, future financial market uncertainty could lead to further financial market disruptions and could further impact our ability to obtain financing.

The amount of any distributions we may make is uncertain. Our distribution proceeds have exceeded and in the future may exceed our net investment income, particularly during the period before we have substantially invested the net proceeds from our public offering. Therefore, portions of the distributions that we make may represent a return of capital to you which will lower your tax basis in your shares and reduce the amount of funds we have for investment in targeted assets. We may not be able to pay you distributions, and our distributions may not grow over time. We may pay distributions from offering proceeds, borrowings or the sale of assets to the extent our cash flow from operations, net investment income or earnings are not sufficient to fund declared distributions.

We intend to declare distributions monthly and pay distributions on a quarterly basis. We will pay these distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. We may fund distributions from the uninvested proceeds of this offering and borrowings. We have paid and may continue to pay distributions from the sale of assets to the extent distributions exceed our net investment income or cash flow from operations.

While Franklin Square Holdings has, in the past, limited our expenses to ensure that such expenses were reasonable in relation to our income, we cannot assure you that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make a targeted level of cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. Our ability to pay distributions might be adversely affected by, among other things, the impact of one or more of the risk factors described in this prospectus. In addition, the inability to satisfy the asset coverage test applicable to us as a business development company can limit our ability to pay distributions. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, our net investment income, our financial condition, maintenance of our RIC status, compliance with applicable business development company regulations and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time. We cannot assure you that we will pay distributions to our stockholders in the future. In the event that we encounter delays in locating suitable investment opportunities, we may pay all or a substantial portion of our distributions from the proceeds of our public offering or from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow, which may constitute a return of your capital and will lower your tax basis in your shares. Distributions from the proceeds of our public offering or from borrowings also could reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in our portfolio companies.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we issued 13,030 shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The aggregate offering price for the shares of common stock sold under the distribution reinvestment plan was approximately $9.29.

In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2009, we issued shares of our common stock in distributions to all stockholders of record as follows:


Date Declared	Record Date	Payment Date	Distribution Percentage		Shares Issued
July 30, 2009	July 31, 2009	July 31, 2009	3.1	%	117,219
