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 June 30, 2013, the Company had five wholly-owned financing subsidiaries, Broad Street Funding LLC, or Broad Street, Arch Street Funding LLC, or Arch Street, Locust Street Funding LLC, or Locust Street, Race Street Funding LLC, or Race Street, and Walnut Street Funding LLC, or Walnut Street. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned financing subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in senior secured loans and second lien secured loans of private U.S. companies. The Company seeks to generate superior risk-adjusted returns by focusing on debt investments in a broad array of private U.S. companies, including middle market companies, which the Company defines as companies with annual revenues of $50 million to $2.5 billion at the time of investment. The Company may purchase interests in loans through secondary market transactions in the “over-the-counter” market for institutional loans or directly from its target companies as primary market investments.

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 consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet and consolidated schedule of investments are derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. 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.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the unaudited consolidated 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.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Capital Gains Incentive Fee: The Company has entered into an investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FB Income Advisor, LLC, or FB Advisor, dated as of February 12, 2008, which was amended on August 5, 2008, and which, as amended, is referred to herein as the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains during operations prior to a liquidation of the Company 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). 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 the applicable period, 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 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 of 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 accrued capital gains incentive fee. 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.

Subordinated Income Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FB Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income, which is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, equal to 2.0% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 8.0%. As a result, FB Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 2.0%. Once the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FB Advisor will be entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.5%, or 10.0% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FB Advisor will receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company intends to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program prior to the time it completes a liquidity event. 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 of common stock 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 of common stock or portions thereof; and

 

   

the condition of the securities markets.

The Company currently intends to limit the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares of common stock it can repurchase with the proceeds it receives from the sale of shares of common stock 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 the liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares of common stock. In addition, the Company will limit the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each quarter, though the actual number of shares of common stock that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above.

Under the share repurchase program, the Company intends to offer to repurchase shares of common stock on each date of repurchase at a price equal to the price at which shares of common stock are issued pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan on the distribution date coinciding with the applicable share repurchase date. The repurchase price is determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and will be (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock (as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof) immediately prior to the repurchase date and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share as of such date.

The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share 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 semi-monthly closing.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

Compensation of the Dealer Manager and Investment Adviser

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 Company commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement on January 2, 2009, upon commencement of the Company’s operations. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears.

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, equals 20.0% of “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, equal to 2.0% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 8.0%. As a result, FB Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 2.0%. Once the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FB Advisor will be entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.5%, or 10.0% annually, of adjusted capital. This “catch-up” feature allows FB Advisor to recoup the fees foregone as a result of the existence of the hurdle rate. Thereafter, FB Advisor will receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.

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 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 equal the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, 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 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.

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 reimburses FB Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) FB Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. FB Advisor is required to allocate the cost of such services to the Company based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Company’s board of directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to the Company of obtaining similar services from third-party providers known to be available. In addition, the Company’s board of directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Company’s board of directors compares the total amount paid to FB Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.

Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., or Franklin Square Holdings, the Company’s sponsor and an affiliate of FB Advisor, has funded certain of the Company’s offering costs and organization costs. 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 in excess of $2,500, or the minimum offering requirement, from persons who were not affiliated with the Company or FB Advisor, FB Advisor became entitled to receive 1.5% of gross proceeds raised in the Company’s continuous public offering until all offering costs and organization costs funded by FB Advisor or its affiliates (including Franklin Square Holdings) had been recovered. On January 2, 2009, the Company satisfied the minimum offering requirement. The Company did not pay any reimbursements under this arrangement during the six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.

The dealer manager for the Company’s continuous public offering was FS2 Capital Partners, LLC, or FS2, which is one of the Company’s affiliates. Under the dealer manager agreement among the Company, FB Advisor and FS2, FS2 was entitled to receive sales commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of shares of common stock in the Company’s continuous public offering, all or a portion of which were re-allowed to selected broker-dealers.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company accrued capital gains incentive fees of $927 and $16,499, respectively, based on the performance of its portfolio, of which $122 and $15,972, respectively, was based on unrealized gains and $805 and $527, respectively, was based on realized gains. No such fees are actually payable by the Company with respect to such unrealized gains unless and until those gains are actually realized.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

FB Advisor’s senior management team is comprised of the same personnel as the senior management teams 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.

Exemptive Relief

In an order dated June 4, 2013, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with affiliates of FB Advisor, including FS Investment Corporation II and FS Energy and Power Fund and any future BDCs that are advised by FB Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. Because the Company did not seek exemptive relief to engage in co-investment transactions with GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, or GDFM, and its affiliates, the Company will be permitted to co-invest with GDFM and its affiliates only in accordance with existing regulatory guidance.

Expense Reimbursement

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, and amended as of May 16, 2013, or, as amended, 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; provided, however, that (i) the Company will only reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for expense support payments made by Franklin Square Holdings with respect to any calendar quarter beginning on or after July 1, 2013 to the extent that the payment of such reimbursement (together with any other reimbursement paid during such fiscal year) does not cause “other operating expenses” (as defined below) (on an annualized basis and net of any expense reimbursement payments received by the Company during such fiscal year) to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of the Company’s average net assets attributable to its shares of common stock for the fiscal year-to-date period after taking such payments into account and (B) the percentage of the Company’s average net assets attributable to its shares of common stock represented by “other operating expenses” during the fiscal year in which such expense support payment from Franklin Square Holdings was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) shall not apply to any reimbursement payment which relates to an expense support payment from Franklin Square Holdings made during the same fiscal year) and (ii) the Company will not reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for expense support payments made by Franklin Square Holdings if the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by the Company in such calendar quarter is less than the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by the Company in the calendar quarter in which Franklin Square Holdings made the expense support payment to which such reimbursement relates. “Other operating expenses” means the Company’s total “operating expenses” (as defined below), excluding base management fees, incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. “Operating expenses” means all operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with GAAP for investment companies.

The Company or Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. Upon termination of the expense reimbursement agreement by Franklin Square Holdings, Franklin Square Holdings will be required to fund any amounts accrued thereunder as of the date of termination. Similarly, the Company’s conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings pursuant to the terms of the expense reimbursement agreement shall survive the termination of such agreement by either party.

Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, and its 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, no such reimbursements were required from Franklin Square Holdings.

Note 5. Distributions

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company has declared and paid on its common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

 

     Distribution  

For the Three Months Ended

   Per Share      Amount  

Fiscal 2012

     

March 31, 2012

   $ 0.2016       $ 37,014   

June 30, 2012

   $ 0.2020       $ 47,305   

Fiscal 2013

     

March 31, 2013

   $ 0.2025       $ 51,184   

June 30, 2013

   $ 0.2048       $ 52,111   

On June 25, 2013, the Company’s board of directors increased the amount of the regular monthly cash distribution payable to stockholders of record from $0.0675 per share to $0.06975 per share in order to increase its annual distribution rate from 7.5% to 7.75% (based on the Company’s last public offering price of $10.80 per share), commencing with the regular monthly cash distribution paid in June 2013. Also on June 25, 2013, the Company’s board of directors declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.06975 per share, which was paid on July 31, 2013 to stockholders of record on July 30, 2013. On August 7, 2013, the Company’s board of directors declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.06975 per share, which will be paid on August 30, 2013 to stockholders of record on August 29, 2013. 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 cash 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 the Company 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. During certain periods, the Company’s distributions may exceed its earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions the Company makes will represent a return of capital for tax purposes. A return of capital generally is a return of a stockholder’s investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gains on the sale of securities, and/or a return of paid-in capital surplus, which is a nontaxable distribution) will be mailed to the Company’s stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.

(1) During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 89% and 93%, respectively, of the Company’s gross investment income was attributable to cash interest earned and 11% and 7%, respectively, was attributable to non-cash accretion of discount and paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest.

The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $124,885 and $78,011, respectively. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $102,649 and $53,010, 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 costs incurred prior to the commencement of the Company’s operations, the reversal of 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 and, with respect to the six months ended June 30, 2012, the inclusion of a portion of the periodic net settlement payments due on the Company’s 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 six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Note 5. Distributions (continued)

 

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 Form 1099-DIV.

The following table reflects the stock distributions per share that the Company declared on its common stock through June 30, 2013:

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 deducting 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 as of the applicable record date in proportion to their holdings as of such date, 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 stockholders as of the applicable record date. As the stock distributions did not change any stockholder’s proportionate interest in the Company, they did not represent taxable distributions. Specific tax characteristics of all stock distributions are reported to stockholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.

Note 6. Investment Portfolio (continued)

 

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 June 30, 2013, the Company had six such investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $60,115. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had three such investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $14,804. 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

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

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.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s investments were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:

The Company’s investments as of June 30, 2013 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 the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which were provided by independent third-party pricing services and screened for validity by such services. Twenty-five senior secured loan investments, one senior secured bond investment and five subordinated debt investments, for which broker quotes were not available, were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined the fair 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 fair 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.

The Company’s investments as of December 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 the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which were provided by independent third-party pricing services and screened for validity by such services.

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 fair 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 newly-issued and purchased near December 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 periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives 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 experience of the Company’s management 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 the Company 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.

The following is a reconciliation for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Borrowings under the facility are subject to compliance with an equity coverage ratio with respect to the current value of Arch Street’s portfolio and a loan compliance test with respect to the initial acquisition of each debt security in Arch Street’s portfolio. Beginning November 27, 2012, Arch Street became required to pay a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Arch Street credit facility is not borrowed. Outstanding borrowings under the facility will be amortized beginning nine months prior to the scheduled maturity date. Any amounts borrowed under the facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on August 29, 2015.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $497,682 was outstanding under the Arch Street credit facility.

Note 8. Financing Arrangements (continued)

 

JPM Financing

On April 23, 2013, through its two wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiaries, Locust Street and Race Street, the Company entered into an amendment, or the April 2013 amendment, to its conventional debt financing arrangement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, or JPM, which was originally entered into on July 21, 2011. The April 2013 amendment, among other things: (i) increased the amount of debt financing available under the arrangement from $700,000 to $950,000; and (ii) extended the final repurchase date under the financing arrangement from October 15, 2016 to April 15, 2017. 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.

In connection with the increase in the amount available under the debt financing arrangement, the aggregate market value of assets expected to be held by Locust Street when the financing arrangement, as amended, is fully-ramped was increased from $1,320,000 to $1,791,500.

The assets held by Locust Street secure the obligations of Locust Street under certain Class A Floating Rate Notes, or, together with the notes issued prior to April 23, 2013, the Class A Notes, to be issued from time to time by Locust Street to Race Street pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2012 and as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated April 23, 2013, with Citibank, as trustee, or the Amended and Restated Indenture. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture, the aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes that may be issued by Locust Street from time to time was increased from $840,000 to $1,140,000 and the stated maturity date of the Class A Notes was changed from October 15, 2023 to April 15, 2024. All principal and interest on the Class A Notes will be due and payable on the stated maturity date. Race Street will purchase the Class A Notes to be issued by Locust Street from time to time at a purchase price equal to their par value.

In connection with the increase in the amount available under the debt financing arrangement, Race Street entered into an amended repurchase transaction with JPM pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated global master repurchase agreement and the related annex and amended and restated confirmation thereto, each dated as of April 23, 2013, 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 83.33% 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 was increased from $840,000 to $1,140,000. Accordingly, the maximum amount payable at any time to Race Street under the JPM Facility was increased from $700,000 to $950,000. 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 April 15, 2017. The repurchase price paid by Race Street to JPM for each repurchase of Class A Notes will be equal to the purchase price paid by JPM for such Class A Notes, plus interest thereon accrued at a fixed rate of 3.25% per annum. Commencing April 15, 2015, 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, and any other reductions of the principal amount of Class A Notes, including upon an event of default, will be subject to breakage fees in an amount equal to the present value of 1.25% per annum over the remaining term of the JPM Facility applied to the amount of such reduction.

(3) 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.

 

(4) 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 applicable period.

 

(5) The total return for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of June 30, 2013, 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, 2012. The 2012 total return was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of December 31, 2012, 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, 2011. 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. The historical calculation of total return in the table should not be considered a representation of the Company’s future total return, which may be greater or less than the return shown in the table due to a number of factors, including the Company’s ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet its investment criteria, the interest rate payable on the debt securities the Company acquires, the level of the Company’s expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Company encounters competition in its markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any previous period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods. The total return as calculated above represents the total return on the Company’s investment portfolio during such period and is calculated in accordance with GAAP. These return figures do not represent an actual return to stockholders.

 

(6) Weighted average net assets during the period are used for this calculation. Ratios are not annualized.

 

(7) Portfolio turnover is 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 the sale of shares of our common stock in our continuous public offering to 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 regulated 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. In May 2012, we closed our continuous public offering of shares of common stock to new investors.

Our investment activities are managed by FB Advisor and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent. Under our investment advisory and administrative services agreement, we have agreed to pay FB Advisor an annual base management fee based on our gross assets as well as incentive fees based on our performance. FB Advisor has engaged GDFM to act as our investment sub-adviser. GDFM assists FB Advisor in identifying investment opportunities and makes investment recommendations for approval by FB Advisor according to guidelines set by FB Advisor.

Our investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We have identified and intend to focus on the following six investment categories, which we believe will allow us to generate an attractive total return with an acceptable level of risk.

Originated/Proprietary Transactions: We intend to leverage our relationship with GDFM and their global sourcing and origination platform to identify proprietary investment opportunities. We define proprietary investments as any investment originated or structured specifically for us or made by us that was not generally available to the broader market. Proprietary investments may include both debt and equity components, although we do not expect to make equity investments independent of having an existing credit relationship. We believe proprietary transactions may offer attractive investment opportunities as they typically offer higher returns than broadly syndicated transactions.

Anchor Orders: In addition to proprietary transactions, we will invest in certain opportunities that are originated and then syndicated by a commercial or investment bank but where we provide a capital commitment significantly above the average syndicate participant. Our decision to provide an anchor order to a syndicated transaction is predicated on a rigorous credit analysis, our familiarity with a particular company, industry or financial sponsor, and the broader investment experiences of FB Advisor and GDFM. In these types of investments, we may receive fees, preferential pricing or other benefits not available to other lenders in return for our significant capital commitment.

Event Driven: We intend to take advantage of dislocations that arise in the markets due to an impending event and where the market’s apparent expectation of value differs substantially from our fundamental analysis. Such events may include a looming debt maturity or default, a merger, spin-off or other corporate reorganization, an adverse regulatory or legal ruling, or a material contract expiration, any of which may significantly improve or impair a company’s financial position. Compared to other investment strategies, event driven investing depends more heavily on our ability to successfully predict the outcome of an individual event rather than on underlying

 

51


Table of Contents

macroeconomic fundamentals. As a result, successful event driven strategies may offer both substantial diversification benefits and the ability to generate performance in uncertain market environments.

Opportunistic: We intend to seek to capitalize on market price inefficiencies by investing in loans, bonds and other securities where the market price of such investment reflects a lower value than deemed warranted by our fundamental analysis. We believe that market price inefficiencies may occur due to, among other things, general dislocations in the markets, a misunderstanding by the market of a particular company or an industry being out of favor with the broader investment community. We seek to allocate capital to these securities that have been misunderstood or mispriced by the market and where we believe there is an opportunity to earn an attractive return on our investment.

Collateralized Securities: Collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, are a form of securitization where the cash flow from a pooled basket of syndicated loans is used to support distribution payments made to different tranches of securities. While collectively CLOs represent nearly fifty percent of the broadly syndicated loan universe, investing in individual CLO tranches requires a high degree of investor sophistication due to their structural complexity and the illiquid nature of their securities. Our relationship with GSO Capital Partners LP, one of the largest CLO managers in the world, allows us to invest in these securities with confidence and to capitalize on opportunities in the secondary CLO market.

Broadly Syndicated/Other: Although our primary focus is to invest in proprietary transactions, in certain circumstances we will also invest in the broadly syndicated loan and high yield markets. Broadly syndicated loans and bonds are generally more liquid than our proprietary investments and provide a complement to our more illiquid proprietary strategies. In addition, and because we typically receive more attractive financing terms on these positions than we do on our less liquid assets, we are able to leverage the broadly syndicated portion of our portfolio in such a way that maximizes the levered return potential of our portfolio.

Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured loans and second lien secured loans of private U.S. companies and, to a lesser extent, subordinated loans of private U.S. companies. Although we do not expect a significant portion of our portfolio to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in which we may invest. 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, such as an institutional investor or private equity firm. In addition, a portion of our portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds and other debt securities.

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, Inc., or Moody’s, 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 gain and loss 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

 

52


Table of Contents

investments and their amortized 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 the fair value of the TRS. Net unrealized gain and loss on foreign currency is the net change in the value of receivables or accruals due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. In future quarters, we do not expect our revenues to include net realized gain on total return swap or net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on total return swap as a result of the termination of the TRS on August 29, 2012. We may, however, elect to utilize a total return swap in the future.

We principally generate revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments we hold. We may also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity or other securities we may 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, prepayment 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 fees compensate 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 reimburse FB Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations. Such services include the provision of general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations and other administrative services. FB Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, our corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records which we are required to maintain and preparing reports for our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, FB Advisor assists us in calculating our net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. See “—Related Party Transactions” for additional information regarding the reimbursements payable to FB Advisor for administrative services and the methodology for determining the amount of any such reimbursements. We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions. For additional information regarding these expenses, please see our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

In addition, we have contracted with State Street Bank and Trust Company to provide various accounting and administrative services, including, but not limited to, preparing preliminary financial information for review by FB Advisor, preparing and monitoring expense budgets, maintaining accounting and corporate books and records, processing trade information provided by us and performing testing with respect to RIC compliance.

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.

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, 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

 

53


Table of Contents

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; provided, however, that (i) we will only reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for expense support payments made by Franklin Square Holdings with respect to any calendar quarter beginning on or after July 1, 2013 to the extent that the payment of such reimbursement (together with any other reimbursement paid during such fiscal year) does not cause “other operating expenses” (as defined below) (on an annualized basis and net of any expense reimbursement payments received by us during such fiscal year) to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of our average net assets attributable to shares of our common stock for the fiscal year-to-date period after taking such payments into account and (B) the percentage of our average net assets attributable to shares of our common stock represented by “other operating expenses” during the fiscal year in which such expense support payment from Franklin Square Holdings was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) shall not apply to any reimbursement payment which relates to an expense support payment from Franklin Square Holdings made during the same fiscal year) and (ii) we will not reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for expense support payments made by Franklin Square Holdings if the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by us in such calendar quarter is less than the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by us in the calendar quarter in which Franklin Square Holdings made the expense support payment to which such reimbursement relates. “Other operating expenses” means our total “operating expenses” (as defined below), excluding base management fees, incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. “Operating expenses” means all operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with GAAP for investment companies.

We or Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. Upon termination of the expense reimbursement agreement by Franklin Square Holdings, Franklin Square Holdings will be required to fund any amounts accrued thereunder as of the date of termination. Similarly, our conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings pursuant to the terms of the expense reimbursement agreement shall survive the termination of such agreement by either party.

Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by our chairman 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. As of June 30, 2013, there were no unreimbursed expense support payments subject to future reimbursement by us.

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 June 30, 2013, we had six such investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $60,115. As of December 31, 2012, we had three such investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $14,804. 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 possible, 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 investments on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

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 June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012

Revenues

We generated investment income of $124,349 and $63,054 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in the form of interest and fees earned on senior secured loans, senior secured bonds, subordinated debt and collateralized securities in our portfolio and dividends and other distributions earned on equity/other investments. Such revenues represent $108,990 and $58,249 of cash income earned as well as $15,359 and $4,805 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 and the transition of the portfolio to higher yielding non-broadly syndicated assets. The level of income we receive is directly related to the balance of income-producing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments.

Expenses

Our total operating expenses were $50,294 and $26,531 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our operating expenses include base management fees attributed to FB Advisor of $22,615 and $15,345 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our operating expenses also include administrative services expenses attributed to FB Advisor of $1,355 and $1,431 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

FB Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on performance. As of March 31, 2013, $15,601 in subordinated income incentive fees were payable by us to FB Advisor, all of which we paid to FB Advisor during the three months ended June 30, 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we accrued additional subordinated income incentive fees of $17,167 based upon the performance of our portfolio. We did not accrue any subordinated income incentive fees during the three months ended June 30, 2012. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we reversed $5,423 of capital gains incentive fees previously accrued based on the performance of our portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we accrued capital gains incentive fees of $1,698 based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $1,253 was based on unrealized gains and $445 was based on realized gains. No such fees are 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 $11,876 and $5,346 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in connection with our credit facilities and the JPM Facility. Fees incurred with our fund administrator, which provides various accounting and administrative services to us, totaled $355 and $425 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We incurred fees and expenses with our stock transfer agent of $900 and $881 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Fees for our board of directors were $223 and $211 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Our other general and administrative expenses totaled $1,226 and $1,194 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and consisted of the following:

During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the ratio of our operating expenses to our average net assets was 1.95% and 1.20%, respectively. Our ratio of operating expenses to our average net assets during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 includes $11,876 and $5,346, respectively, related to interest expense and $11,744, and $1,698, respectively, related to accruals for incentive fees. Without such expenses, our ratio of operating expenses to average net assets would have been 1.03% and 0.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Incentive fees and interest expense, among other things, may increase or decrease our operating expenses in relation to our expense ratios relative to comparative periods depending on portfolio performance and changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, among other factors. The higher ratio of operating expenses to average net assets during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 can primarily be attributed to higher management fees as a percentage of average net assets as a result of the termination of the TRS and the replacement of such financing arrangement with a revolving credit facility.

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $74,055 ($0.29 per share) and $36,523 ($0.16 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in net investment income on a per share basis can be attributed to, among other things, our ability to efficiently deploy capital following the closing of our public offering and the transition of our portfolio to higher yielding non-broadly syndicated assets.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

We sold investments and received principal repayments of $373,814 and $388,699, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2013, from which we realized a net gain of $16,447. We also realized a net loss of $39 from settlements on foreign currency during the three months ended June 30, 2013. We sold investments and received principal repayments of $178,252 and $129,252, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, from which we realized a net gain of $7,696. We also earned $4,793 from periodic net settlement payments on our TRS and realized a net loss of $4 from settlements on foreign currency during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

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

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $(43,498) and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency totaled $(26).

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during each of the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily driven by general widening of credit spreads in the respective periods.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $46,939 ($0.18 per share) compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $45,068 ($0.20 per share) during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012

Revenues

We generated investment income of $234,393 and $113,589 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in the form of interest and fees earned on senior secured loans, senior secured bonds, subordinated debt and collateralized securities in our portfolio and dividends and other distributions earned on equity/other investments. Such revenues represent $207,515 and $105,704 of cash income earned as well as $26,878 and $7,885 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 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.

FB Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on performance. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we accrued subordinated income incentive fees of $31,395 based upon the performance of our portfolio and paid to FB Advisor $27,621 of subordinated income incentive fees during such period. We did not accrue any subordinated income incentive fees during the six months ended June 30, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we accrued capital gains incentive fees of $927 and $16,499, respectively, based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $122 and $15,972, respectively, was based on unrealized gains and $805 and $527, respectively, was based on realized gains. No such fees are 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 $24,012 and $10,527 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in connection with our credit facilities and the JPM Facility. Fees incurred with our fund administrator, which provides various accounting and administrative services to us, totaled $720 and $846 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the ratio of our operating expenses to our average net assets was 4.28% and 3.17%, respectively. Our ratio of operating expenses to our average net assets during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 includes $24,012 and $10,527, respectively, related to interest expense and $32,322 and $16,499, respectively, related to accruals for incentive fees. Without such expenses, our ratio of operating expenses to average net assets would have been 2.07% and 1.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Incentive fees and interest expense, among other things, may increase or decrease our operating expenses in relation to our expense ratios relative to comparative periods depending on portfolio performance and changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, among other factors. The higher ratio of operating expenses to average net assets during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 can primarily be attributed to higher management fees as a percentage of average net assets as a result of the termination of the TRS and the replacement of such financing arrangement with a revolving credit facility.

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $124,784 ($0.49 per share) and $51,415 ($0.25 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in net investment income on a per share basis

can be attributed to, among other things, our ability to efficiently deploy capital following the closing of our public offering and the transition of our portfolio to higher yielding non-broadly syndicated assets.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

We sold investments and received principal repayments of $521,758 and $784,572, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, from which we realized a net gain of $30,618. We also realized a net loss of $102 from settlements on foreign currency during the six months ended June 30, 2013. We sold investments and received principal repayments of $257,956 and $269,132, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2012, from which we realized a net gain of $4,594. We also earned $9,867 from periodic net settlement payments on our TRS and realized a net gain of $13 from settlements on foreign currency during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

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

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $(25,980) and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency totaled $95. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $56,879, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our TRS was $4,449 and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency totaled $261. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily driven by a general widening of credit spreads in the second quarter of 2013. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily driven by a general strengthening of the credit markets during the first quarter of 2012.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $129,415 ($0.52 per share) compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $127,478 ($0.62 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

We generate cash primarily from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. In May 2012, we closed our continuous public offering of shares of our common stock and, following the closing, sell shares only pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.

Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan and from sales and paydowns of existing investments 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.

To provide our stockholders with limited liquidity, we conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to our share repurchase program. The following table provides information concerning our repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Arch Street Credit Facility

On August 29, 2012, Arch Street terminated its TRS with Citibank and entered into the Arch Street credit facility with Citibank, as administrative agent, and the financial institutions and other lenders from time to time party thereto. The Arch Street credit facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $550,000 on a committed basis. We may contribute cash or debt securities to Arch Street from time to time, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Arch Street credit facility, and will retain a residual interest in any assets contributed through our ownership of Arch Street or will receive fair market value for any debt securities sold to Arch Street. Arch Street may purchase additional debt securities from various sources. Arch Street’s obligations to the lenders under the facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of

Table of Contents

the assets of Arch Street, including its portfolio of debt securities. The obligations of Arch Street under the facility are non-recourse to us and our exposure under the facility is limited to the value of our investment in Arch Street.

Borrowings under the Arch Street credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum during the first two years of the facility and three-month LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum thereafter. Borrowings under the facility are subject to compliance with an equity coverage ratio with respect to the current value of Arch Street’s portfolio and a loan compliance test with respect to the initial acquisition of each debt security in Arch Street’s portfolio. Beginning November 27, 2012, Arch Street became required to pay a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Arch Street credit facility is not borrowed. Outstanding borrowings under the facility will be amortized beginning nine months prior to the scheduled maturity date. Any amounts borrowed under the facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on August 29, 2015.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $497,682 was outstanding under the Arch Street credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the facility approximates its fair value. We incurred costs of $4,446 in connection with obtaining the Arch Street credit facility, which we have recorded as deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance sheets and amortize to interest expense over the life of the facility. As of June 30, 2013, $3,205 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

The effective interest rate on the borrowings under the Arch Street credit facility was 2.05% per annum as of June 30, 2013. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears and commenced August 29, 2012. We recorded interest expense of $2,722 and $6,060, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, of which $369 and $734, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred financing costs and $67 and $132, respectively, related to commitment fees on the unused portion of the credit facility. We paid $6,871 in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The average borrowings under the Arch Street credit facility for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $497,682, with a weighted average interest rate (including the effect of the non-usage fees) of 2.13%.

Broad Street Credit Facility

On January 28, 2011, Broad Street, Deutsche Bank and the other lenders party thereto entered into the Broad Street credit facility, which amended and restated the revolving credit facility that Broad Street originally entered into with Deutsche Bank on March 10, 2010 and the amendments thereto. On March 23, 2012, Broad Street entered into an amendment to the Broad Street credit facility which extended the maturity date of the facility to March 23, 2013, increased the aggregate amount which could be borrowed under the facility to $380,000 and reduced the interest rate for all borrowings under the facility to a rate of LIBOR + 1.50% per annum. On December 13, 2012, Broad Street repaid $140,000 of borrowings under the facility, thereby reducing the amount which could be borrowed under the facility to $240,000. On March 22, 2013, Broad Street and Deutsche Bank entered into an amendment to the facility to extend the maturity date of the facility to December 22, 2013. The Broad Street credit facility provides for borrowings of up to $240,000 at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum. Deutsche Bank is a lender and serves as administrative agent under the facility.

Under the Broad Street credit facility, we transfer debt securities to Broad Street from time to time as a contribution to capital and retain a residual interest in the contributed debt securities through our ownership of Broad Street. The obligations of Broad Street under the facility are non-recourse to us and our exposure under the facility is limited to the value of our investment in Broad Street.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $240,000 was outstanding under the Broad Street credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the facility approximates its fair value. We incurred costs of $2,566 in connection with obtaining and amending the facility, which we have recorded as

deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance sheets and amortize to interest expense over the life of the facility. As of June 30, 2013, all of such deferred financing costs have been amortized to interest expense.

The effective interest rate under the Broad Street credit facility was 1.77% per annum as of June 30, 2013. Interest is paid quarterly in arrears and commenced August 20, 2010. We recorded interest expense of $1,071 and $2,006 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of which $0 and $237, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. We recorded interest expense of $2,367 and $4,430 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of which $225 and $431, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. We paid $2,165 and $4,270 in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The average borrowings under the credit facility for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $240,000 and $357,166, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 1.78% and 2.26%, respectively.

JPM Financing

On April 23, 2013, through our two wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiaries, Locust Street and Race Street, we entered into the April 2013 amendment to our conventional debt financing arrangement with JPM, which was originally entered into on July 21, 2011. The April 2013 amendment, among other things: (i) increased the amount of debt financing available under the arrangement from $700,000 to $950,000; and (ii) extended the final repurchase date under the financing arrangement from October 15, 2016 to April 15, 2017. 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.

In connection with the increase in the amount available under the debt financing arrangement, the aggregate market value of assets expected to be held by Locust Street when the financing arrangement, as amended, is fully-ramped was increased from $1,320,000 to $1,791,500.

The assets held by Locust Street secure the obligations of Locust Street under the Class A Floating Rate Notes to be issued from time to time by Locust Street to Race Street pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture, the aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes that may be issued by Locust Street from time to time was increased from $840,000 to $1,140,000 and the stated maturity date of the Class A Notes was changed from October 15, 2023 to April 15, 2024. All principal and interest on the Class A Notes will be due and payable on the stated maturity date. Race Street will purchase the Class A Notes to be issued by Locust Street from time to time at a purchase price equal to their par value.

In connection with the increase in the amount available under the debt financing arrangement, Race Street entered into an amendment to 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 83.33% 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 was increased from $840,000 to $1,140,000 in connection with the April 2013 amendment. Accordingly, the maximum amount payable at any time to Race Street under the JPM Facility was increased from $700,000 to $950,000. 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 April 15, 2017. The repurchase price paid by Race Street to JPM for each repurchase of Class A Notes will be equal to the purchase price paid by JPM for such Class A Notes, plus interest thereon accrued at a fixed rate of 3.25% per annum. Commencing April 15, 2015, 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, and any other reductions of the principal amount of Class A Notes, including upon an event of default, will be subject to breakage fees in an amount equal to the present value of 1.25% per annum over the remaining term of the JPM Facility applied to the amount of such reduction.

In connection with the increase in the amount available under the debt financing arrangement, the aggregate market value of assets expected to be held by Race Street when the financing arrangement, as amended, is fully-ramped, was increased from $600,000 to $814,000. The assets held by Race Street secure the obligations of Race Street under the JPM Facility.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Class A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $974,300 and $812,000, respectively, had been purchased by Race Street from Locust Street and subsequently sold to JPM under the JPM Facility for aggregate proceeds of $811,917 and $676,667, respectively. We funded each purchase of Class A Notes by Race Street through a capital contribution to Race Street. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Race Street’s liability under the JPM Facility was $811,917 and $676,667, respectively, plus $5,158 and $4,298, 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.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of assets held by Locust Street was $1,507,310 and $1,307,933, respectively, which included assets purchased by Locust Street with proceeds from the issuance of Class A Notes. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of assets held by Race Street was $812,538 and $598,528, respectively.

We had 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 June 30, 2013, $227 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 3.25% as of June 30, 2013. We recorded interest expense of $6,061 and $3,250 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of which $19 and $26, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. We recorded interest expense of $11,713 and $6,007 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of which $52 and $53, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. We paid $10,801 and $4,501 in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The average borrowings under the JPM Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $713,627 and $341,667, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.25% and 3.77%, respectively.

Walnut Street Credit Facility

On May 17, 2012, Walnut Street and Wells Fargo entered into the Walnut Street credit facility. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC serves as the administrative agent and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the sole lender, collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian under the facility. The Walnut Street credit facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $250,000 on a committed basis.

Under the Walnut Street credit facility, we contribute cash or debt securities to Walnut Street from time to time and retain a residual interest in any assets contributed through our ownership of Walnut Street or receive fair market value for any debt securities sold to Walnut Street. The obligations of Walnut Street under the Walnut Street credit facility are non-recourse to us and our exposure under the facility is limited to the value of our investment in Walnut Street.

Pricing under the Walnut Street credit facility is based on LIBOR for an interest period equal to the weighted average LIBOR interest period of eligible debt securities owned by Walnut Street, plus a spread ranging between 1.50% and 2.75% per annum, depending on the composition of the portfolio of debt securities for the relevant period. Beginning on September 17, 2012, Walnut Street became subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Walnut Street credit facility is not borrowed. Any amounts borrowed under the Walnut Street credit facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on May 17, 2017.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $248,739 and $235,364, respectively, was outstanding under the Walnut Street credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the facility approximates its fair value. We incurred costs of $3,761 in connection with obtaining the Walnut Street credit facility, which we have recorded as deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance sheets and amortize to interest expense over the life of the facility. As of June 30, 2013, $2,915 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

The effective interest rate on the borrowings under the Walnut Street credit facility was 2.84% per annum as of June 30, 2013. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears and commenced October 15, 2012. We recorded interest expense of $2,022 and $90 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of which $195 and $88, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred financing costs and $4 and $0, respectively, related to commitment fees on the unused portion of the credit facility. We recorded interest expense of $3,872 and $90 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of which $377 and $88, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred financing costs and $18 and $0, respectively, related to commitment fees on the unused portion of the credit facility. We paid $3,308 and $0 in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The average borrowings under the Walnut Street credit facility for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $242,709 and $88, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate (including the effect of non-usage fees) of 2.87% and 2.71%, respectively.

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, among other things, 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 later of the fifteenth day of the ninth month following the close of the taxable year or 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 on which we paid no federal income taxes.

Following commencement of our operations, we declared our first distribution on January 29, 2009. Subject to our board of directors’ discretion and applicable legal restrictions, we intend to authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions on a monthly basis and pay such 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 that shares of our common stock are issued to such stockholder. 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. A return of capital generally is a return of an investor’s investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from our investment activities. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to our stockholders. No portion of the distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012 represented a return of capital for tax purposes.

We intend to continue to make our ordinary distributions in the form of cash out of assets legally available for distribution, unless stockholders elect to receive their cash distributions in additional shares of our common

stock under our distribution reinvestment plan. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain taxable to a U.S. stockholder.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we have declared and paid on our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

On June 25, 2013, our board of directors increased the amount of the regular monthly cash distribution payable to stockholders of record from $0.0675 per share to $0.06975 per share in order to increase our annual distribution rate from 7.5% to 7.75% (based on our last public offering price of $10.80 per share), commencing with the regular monthly cash distribution paid in June 2013. Also on June 25, 2013, our board of directors declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.06975 per share, which was paid on July 31, 2013 to stockholders of record on July 30, 2013. On August 7, 2013, our board of directors declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.06975 per share, which will be paid on August 30, 2013 to stockholders of record on August 29, 2013. 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 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.

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 we execute our operating plans, 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 provides our board of directors with portfolio company valuations which are based on 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board, 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 FB Advisor’s management team providing a preliminary valuation of each portfolio company or investment to our valuation committee, which valuation may be obtained from our sub-adviser or an independent valuation firm, if applicable;

 

70


Table of Contents
   

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 debt and equity 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.

For convertible debt securities, fair value generally approximates the fair value of the debt plus the fair value of an option to purchase the underlying security (the security into which the debt may convert) at the conversion price. To value such an option, a standard option pricing model may be used.

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 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.

When we receive warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional cost in connection with an investment in a debt security, our board of directors allocates the cost basis in the investment between the debt securities and any such warrants or other equity securities received at the time of origination. Our board of directors subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at fair value.

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 June 30, 2013 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 the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which were provided by independent third-party pricing services and screened for validity by such services. Twenty-five senior secured loan investments, one senior secured bond investment and five subordinated debt investments, for which broker quotes were not available, were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined the fair 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 fair 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.

Our investments as of December 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 the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which were provided by independent third-party pricing services and screened for validity by such services. Twenty-one senior secured loan investments, one senior secured bond investment and seven subordinated debt investments, for which broker quotes were not available, were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined the fair 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 fair 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 newly-issued and purchased near December 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 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 the experience of our management 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 or security. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees and original issue discount are recorded as fee income. Upfront structuring fees are recorded as income when earned. We record prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when we receive such amounts.

Table of Contents

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, the incentive fee on capital gains during operations prior to our liquidation 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). 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 the applicable period, 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 neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an 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 accrued capital gains incentive fee. 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.

Subordinated Income Incentive Fee

Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FB Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income, which is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, equal to 2.0% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 8.0%. As a result, FB Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 2.0%. Once our pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FB Advisor will be entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.5%, or 10.0% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FB Advisor will receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.

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 benefits or liabilities in our consolidated 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 our consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 June 30, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $22,615 and $15,345, respectively, in base management fees and $1,355 and $1,431, respectively, in administrative services expenses under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $44,821 and $27,549, respectively, in base management fees and $2,791 and $2,334, 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 the performance of our portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we accrued a subordinated incentive fee on income of $17,167 based upon the performance of our portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we accrued a subordinated incentive fee on income of $31,395 based upon the performance of our portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we paid FB Advisor $27,621 in subordinated incentive fees on income. As of June 30, 2013, a subordinated incentive fee on income of $17,167 was payable to FB Advisor. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we reversed $5,423 of capital gains incentive fees previously accrued and, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, we accrued capital gains incentive fees of $1,698, in each case based on the performance of our portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we accrued capital gains incentive fees of $927 and $16,499, respectively, based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $122 and $15,972, respectively, was based on unrealized gains and $805 and $527, respectively, was based on realized gains. No such fees are actually payable by us with respect to such unrealized gains unless and until those gains are actually realized. As of December 31, 2012, we had accrued capital gains incentive fees of $39,751 based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $27,960 was based on unrealized gains and $11,791 was based on realized gains. We paid FB Advisor $11,791 in capital gains incentive fees during the six months ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, we had accrued $28,887 in capital gains incentive fees, of which only $805 was based on realized gains and was payable to FB Advisor.

Compensation of the Dealer Manager and Investment Adviser

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 our gross assets and an incentive fee based on our performance. We commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement on January 2, 2009, upon commencement of our operations. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears.

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 subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, equal to 2.0% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle 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 accrued for on a quarterly basis and, if earned, is paid annually. We accrue 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. The third part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the subordinated liquidation incentive fee, equals 20.0% of the net proceeds in excess of adjusted capital from our liquidation, as calculated immediately prior to liquidation.

We reimburse FB Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) FB Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that we estimate we would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. FB Advisor is required to allocate the cost of such services to us based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. Our board of directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to us of obtaining similar services from third-party providers known to be available. In addition, our board of directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, our board of directors compares the total amount paid to FB Advisor for such services as a percentage of our net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.

Franklin Square Holdings has funded certain of our offering costs and organization costs. 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 in our continuous public offering until all offering costs and organization costs funded by FB Advisor or its affiliates (including Franklin Square Holdings) had been

recovered. On January 2, 2009, the Company satisfied the minimum offering requirement. We did not pay any reimbursements under this arrangement during the six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.

The dealer manager for our continuous public offering was FS2, which is one of our affiliates. Under our dealer manager agreement with FS2, FS2 was entitled to receive sales commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of shares of common stock in our continuous public offering, all or a portion of which were re-allowed to selected broker-dealers.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

FB Advisor’s senior management team is comprised of the same personnel as the senior management teams of FS Investment Advisor, LLC and FSIC II Advisor, LLC, the investment advisers to Franklin Square Holdings’

Table of Contents

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.

Exemptive Relief

In an order dated June 4, 2013, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting us, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with affiliates of FB Advisor, including FS Investment Corporation II and FS Energy and Power Fund and any future BDCs that are advised by FB Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. Because we did not seek exemptive relief to engage in co-investment transactions with GDFM and its affiliates, we will be permitted to co-invest with GDFM and its affiliates only in accordance with existing regulatory guidance.

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.

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, 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. See “—Overview—Expense Reimbursement” for a detailed description of the expense reimbursement agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, no such reimbursements were required from Franklin Square Holdings.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2013, 73.0% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) paid variable interest rates, 23.8% paid fixed interest rates, 2.0% were income producing preferred equity investments, and the remainder (1.2%) consisted of non-income producing equity or other investments. 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 substantial portion 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 hurdle rate, as described 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 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 Arch Street credit facility, the Broad Street credit facility and the Walnut Street credit facility, Arch Street, Broad Street and Walnut Street, respectively, borrow at a floating rate based on

Table of Contents

LIBOR. Under the terms of the JPM Facility, Race Street pays interest to JPM at a fixed rate. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries enter into are based on a floating interest rate, we will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we or our subsidiaries have such debt outstanding, 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 June 30, 2013 (dollar amounts are presented in thousands):

We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and 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 six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 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.

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 June 30, 2013. 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 June 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we 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.
