The unaudited consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2014. 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 may issue loans to its target companies as primary market or directly originated 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, 2013 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The December 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet and consolidated schedule of investments are derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and filed with the U.S. 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.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee: At the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company received stockholder approval to amend and restate the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated February 12, 2008 (as amended on August 5, 2008), or the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, by and between the Company and FB Income Advisor, LLC, or FB Advisor, effective upon a listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on a national securities exchange. The Company’s shares of common stock were listed and commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, on April 16, 2014. On April 16, 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated investment advisory agreement, or the April 2014 investment advisory agreement, with FB Advisor. Also on April 16, 2014, the Company entered into an administration agreement with FB Advisor, or the administration agreement, which governs the administrative services provided to the Company by FB Advisor that had previously been addressed in the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement.

At a special meeting of stockholders of the Company that was adjourned on June 23, 2014 and reconvened on July 17, 2014, the Company received stockholder approval to amend and restate the April 2014 investment advisory agreement. On July 17, 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated investment advisory agreement, or the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, with FB Advisor.

Pursuant to the terms of each of the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of such 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 none of the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the April 2014 investment advisory agreement or the July 2014 investment advisory agreement include or contemplate 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 terms of each of the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, FB Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equaled 20.0% of the Company’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and was subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the 2008 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 did not earn this

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeded the hurdle rate of 2.0%. Once the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeded the hurdle rate, FB Advisor was 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 equaled 2.5%, or 10.0% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FB Advisor received 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income. Under the April 2014 investment advisory agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income was calculated in the same manner, except that the hurdle rate used to compute the subordinated incentive fee on income was based on the value of the Company’s net assets rather than adjusted capital.

Under the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, the hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets, was reduced from 2.0% to 1.875% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.5%. 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 1.875%. 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 2.34375%, or 9.375% annually, of net assets. Thereafter, FB Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Under both the April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income is subject to a total return requirement, which provides that no incentive fee in respect of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income will be payable except to the extent that 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the eleven preceding calendar quarters. Accordingly, any subordinated incentive fee on income that is payable in a calendar quarter will be limited to the lesser of (i) 20.0% of the amount by which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the applicable quarterly hurdle rate, subject to the “catch-up” provision, and (ii) (x) 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the eleven preceding calendar quarters. For the foregoing purpose, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” is the sum of pre-incentive fee net investment income, base management fees, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the Company for the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters. There will be no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and, accordingly, there will be no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the applicable quarterly hurdle rate and there will be no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the applicable quarterly hurdle rate.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.

In connection with the listing of its shares of common stock on the NYSE, the Company terminated its previous distribution reinvestment plan, or the old DRP. The final distribution reinvestment under the old DRP was made in connection with the regular monthly cash distribution paid on March 31, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 28, 2014. On May 23, 2014, the Company adopted a new distribution reinvestment plan, or the new DRP, which became effective on June 2, 2014. The new DRP was first implemented in connection with the regular monthly cash distribution paid on July 2, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 24, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company issued 4,779,843 and 7,984,869 shares of common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan in effect on the applicable date of issuance for gross proceeds of $48,974 and $80,950 at an average price per share of $10.25 and $10.14, respectively. During the period from October 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014, the Company issued 208,201 shares of common stock pursuant to the new DRP for gross proceeds of $2,122 at an average price per share of $10.19. For additional information regarding the terms of the new DRP, see Note 5.

Listing and Fractional Shares

The Company’s shares of common stock were listed and commenced trading on the NYSE on April 16, 2014. The Company eliminated any outstanding fractional shares of its common stock in connection with the listing, as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law. The Company eliminated all outstanding fractional shares by rounding up the number of fractional shares held by each of the Company’s stockholders to the nearest whole number of shares as of April 4, 2014. As a result of the fractional share round up, the number of then outstanding shares was increased by 30,533 shares.

Share Repurchase Program

Historically, the Company conducted quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program to provide limited liquidity to its stockholders. In anticipation of the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on the NYSE, the Company’s board of directors terminated its share repurchase program effective March 21, 2014. The listing has provided liquidity to the Company’s stockholders, and therefore the Company does not expect to implement a new share repurchase program in the future.

Listing Tender Offer

On April 16, 2014, the Company commenced a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer, or the listing tender offer, to purchase for cash up to $250,000 in value of the Company’s shares of common stock from stockholders. In accordance with the terms of the listing tender offer, the Company selected the lowest price, not greater than $11.00 per share or less than $10.35 per share, net to the tendering stockholder in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, that enabled the Company to purchase the maximum number of shares of common stock properly tendered in the listing tender offer and not properly withdrawn having an aggregate purchase price of up to $250,000.

The listing tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 28, 2014. Based on the final count by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary and paying agent for the listing tender offer, a total of 24,075,768 shares of common stock were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or below the purchase price of $10.75 per share. Due to the oversubscription of the listing tender offer, on June 4, 2014, the Company accepted for purchase on a pro rata basis 23,255,813 shares of common stock, or approximately 96.6% of the shares tendered at a purchase price of $10.75 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $250,000, excluding fees and expenses relating to the listing tender offer. The 23,255,813 shares of common stock accepted for purchase in the listing tender offer represented approximately 8.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of June 4, 2014. The Company used available cash and borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility with ING Capital LLC, or ING, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, or the ING credit facility, to fund the purchase of shares of common stock in the listing tender offer and to pay for all related fees and expenses.

Compensation of the Investment Adviser

Pursuant to the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, FB Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee based on 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 2008 investment advisory and

FS Investment Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)

administrative services agreement on January 2, 2009, upon commencement of the Company’s investment operations. Base management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. The annual base management fees under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the April 2014 investment advisory agreement were equal to 2.0% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets.

In anticipation of the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on the NYSE, FB Advisor recommended that the April 2014 investment advisory agreement be further amended to (i) reduce the annualized hurdle rate used in connection with the calculation of the subordinated incentive fee on income, expressed as a rate of return on the Company’s net assets, from 8% to 7.5% and (ii) assuming the reduction to the hurdle rate was approved, reduce the base management fee from 2.0% to 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets. At a special meeting of stockholders that was adjourned on June 23, 2014 and reconvened on July 17, 2014, the Company received stockholder approval to amend and restate the April 2014 investment advisory agreement to reflect the amendments approved by the Company’s stockholders. On July 17, 2014, the Company entered into the July 2014 investment advisory agreement. While stockholder approval of the proposal was pending, FB Advisor agreed, effective April 1, 2014, to waive a portion of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the April 2014 investment advisory agreement so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets.

The incentive fee, which had consisted of three parts under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, consists of two parts under each of the April 2014 advisory agreement and July 2014 investment advisory agreement. The first part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, and equals 20.0% of the Company’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter. Under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income was subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the 2008 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 did not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeded the hurdle rate of 2.0%. Once the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeded the hurdle rate, FB Advisor was 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 equaled 2.5%, or 10.0% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FB Advisor received 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income. Under the April 2014 investment advisory agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income was calculated in the same manner, except that the hurdle rate used to compute the subordinated incentive fee on income was based on the value of the Company’s net assets rather than adjusted capital.

Under the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, the hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets, was reduced from 2.0% to 1.875% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.5%. 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 1.875%. 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 2.34375%, or 9.375% annually, of the value of the Company’s net assets. Thereafter, FB Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)

Under both the April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income is subject to a total return requirement, which provides that no incentive fee in respect of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income will be payable except to the extent that 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the eleven preceding calendar quarters. Accordingly, any subordinated incentive fee on income that is payable in a calendar quarter will be limited to the lesser of (i) 20.0% of the amount by which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the applicable quarterly hurdle rate, subject to the “catch-up” provision, and (ii) (x) 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the eleven preceding calendar quarters. For the foregoing purpose, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” is the sum of pre-incentive fee net investment income, base management fees, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the Company for the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters. There will be no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and, accordingly, there will be no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the applicable quarterly hurdle rate and there will be no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the applicable quarterly hurdle rate.

The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the July 2014 investment advisory 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, 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 methodology for calculating the capital gains incentive fee is identical under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement.

The third part of the incentive fee under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement was referred to as the subordinated liquidation incentive fee, which equaled 20.0% of the net proceeds from a liquidation of the Company in excess of adjusted capital, as calculated immediately prior to liquidation. The April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement do not include the subordinated liquidation incentive fee.

Pursuant to the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Company reimbursed FB Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement was set at the lesser of (1) FB Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimated it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. FB Advisor was required to allocate the cost of such services to the Company based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Company’s board of directors then assessed 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

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)

obtaining similar services from third-party providers known to be available. In addition, the Company’s board of directors considered 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 compared 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.

Pursuant to the administration agreement, FB Advisor provides administrative services necessary for the operation of the Company, including general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations and other administrative services. There is no separate fee paid by the Company to FB Advisor in connection with the services provided under the administration agreement; provided, however, that the Company will reimburse FB Advisor no less than quarterly for all costs and expenses incurred by FB Advisor in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities thereunder. FB Advisor will allocate the cost of such services to the Company based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics.

The following table describes the fees and expenses accrued under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the April 2014 investment advisory agreement, the July 2014 investment advisory agreement and the administration agreement, as applicable, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company accrued capital gains incentive fees of $6,194 and $(621), respectively, based on the performance of its portfolio. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had accrued $36,737 and $32,133, respectively, in capital gains incentive fees, of which $34,023 and $30,543, respectively, was based on unrealized gains and $2,714 and $1,590, 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. The Company paid FB Advisor $1,590 in capital gains incentive fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

(3)	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $44,542 and $44,788, respectively, of subordinated incentive fees on income were paid to FB Advisor. As of September 30, 2014, a subordinated incentive fee on income of $14,794 was payable to FB Advisor.

The Company paid $3,756 and $3,620 , respectively, in administrative services expenses to FB Advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

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

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 certain affiliates of FB Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III and any future BDCs that are advised by FB Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers, or, collectively, the Company’s co-investment affiliates. The Company believes this relief has and may continue to

enhance its ability to further its investment objectives and strategies, and may also increase favorable investment opportunities for the Company, in part by allowing it to participate in larger investments, together with the Company’s co-investment affiliates, than would be available to it if it had not obtained such relief. Because the Company did not seek exemptive relief to engage in co-investment transactions with its investment sub-adviser, GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, or GDFM, and its affiliates, it will continue to 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. Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, and its vice-chairman, David J. Adelman.

Pursuant to an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, dated as of March 13, 2012, and amended and restated as of May 16, 2013, or, as amended and restated, the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings had agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount that was sufficient to ensure that no portion of the Company’s distributions to stockholders were paid from proceeds of the sale of shares of its common stock or borrowings.

As a result of the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on the NYSE, effective November 7, 2014, Franklin Square Holdings terminated the expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to its terms. Since entering into the expense reimbursement agreement, no reimbursements were made, and no reimbursements were expected to be made in the foreseeable future, by Franklin Square Holdings, pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement. For additional information regarding the expense reimbursement agreement, see the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Trademark License Agreement

On April 16, 2014, in connection with the listing of its common stock on the NYSE, the Company entered into a trademark license agreement, or the trademark license agreement, with Franklin Square Holdings. Pursuant to the trademark license agreement, Franklin Square Holdings granted the Company a non-exclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free right and license to use the name “FS Investment Corporation” and certain other trademarks, or the licensed marks, as a component of the Company’s name (and in connection with marketing the investment advisory and other services that FB Advisor may provide to the Company). Other than with respect to this limited license, the Company has no other rights to the licensed marks. The trademark license agreement may be terminated by Franklin Square Holdings or the Company on sixty days’ prior written notice and expires if FB Advisor or one of Franklin Square Holdings’ affiliates ceases to serve as investment adviser to the Company. Furthermore, Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the trademark license agreement at any time and in its sole discretion in the event that Franklin Square Holdings or the Company receives notice of any third-party claim arising out of the Company’s use of the licensed marks or if the Company attempts to assign or sublicense the trademark license agreement or any of the Company’s rights or duties under the trademark license agreement without the prior written consent of Franklin Square Holdings. FB Advisor is a third-party beneficiary of the trademark license agreement.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

(1)	On July 1, 2014, the board of directors of the Company declared a special cash distribution of $0.10 per share, which was paid on August 15, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2014.

On October 10, 2014, the board of directors of the Company declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.07425 per share. The regular monthly cash distribution was paid on November 4, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 27, 2014. On October 10, 2014, the board of directors of the Company also declared a special cash distribution of $0.10 per share, which will be paid on or about November 14, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2014. On November 6, 2014, the board of directors of the Company declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.07425 per share, which will be paid on or about December 2, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 20, 2014.

Subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the Company and applicable legal restrictions, the Company currently authorizes and declares regular cash distributions on a monthly basis and pays such distributions on a monthly basis. On November 6, 2014, the board of directors of the Company approved the declaration and payment of regular cash distributions to the Company’s stockholders on a quarterly rather than monthly basis, effective January 1, 2015. 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.

Historically, the Company had an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders, the old DRP, which terminated upon the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on the NYSE. The final distribution reinvestment under the old DRP was made in connection with the regular monthly cash distribution paid on March 31, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 28, 2014. Under the old DRP, if the Company made a cash distribution, its stockholders received distributions in cash unless they specifically “opted in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. On May 23, 2014, the Company adopted the new DRP, which was effective June 2, 2014. The new DRP was first implemented in connection with the regular monthly cash distribution paid on July 2, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 24, 2014. Pursuant to the new DRP, the Company will reinvest all cash dividends or distributions declared by the Company’s board of directors on behalf of investors who do not elect to receive their distributions in cash. As a result, if the

Note 5. Distributions (continued)

Company’s board of directors declares a distribution, then stockholders who have not elected to “opt out” of the new DRP will have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

With respect to each distribution pursuant to the new DRP, the Company reserves the right to either issue new shares of common stock or purchase shares of common stock in the open market in connection with implementation of the new DRP. Unless the Company, in its sole discretion, otherwise directs the plan administrator, (A) if the per share market price (as defined in the new DRP) is equal to or greater than the estimated net asset value per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) of the Company’s common stock on the payment date for the distribution, then the Company will issue shares of common stock at the greater of (i) net asset value per share of common stock or (ii) 95% of the market price; or (B) if the market price is less than the net asset value per share, then, in the sole discretion of the Company, (i) shares of common stock will be purchased in open market transactions for the accounts of participants to the extent practicable, or (ii) the Company will issue shares of common stock at net asset value per share. Pursuant to the terms of the new DRP, the number of shares of common stock to be issued to a participant will be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to a participant by the price per share at which the Company issues such shares; provided, however, that shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a participant based on the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of common stock purchased in the open market.

If a stockholder receives distributions in the form of common stock pursuant to the new DRP, such stockholder generally will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if it elected to receive distributions in cash. If the Company’s common stock is trading at or below net asset value, a stockholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of cash that they would have received if they had elected to receive the distribution in cash. If the Company’s common stock is trading above net asset value, a stockholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The stockholder’s basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of common stock received in a distribution will be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the stockholder. Any stock received in a distribution will have a holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares of common stock are credited to the stockholder’s account.

The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and dividends or other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies. 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 may represent a return of capital. 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 91.3% and 88.8%, respectively, of the Company’s gross investment income was attributable to cash income earned, 5.7% and 9.7%, respectively, was attributable to non-cash accretion of discount and 3.0% and 1.5%, respectively, was attributable to paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest.

The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $168,913 and $191,169, respectively. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $162,440 and $148,676, respectively, of undistributed net investment income and realized gains on a tax basis.

The Company’s undistributed net investment income on a tax basis as of December 31, 2013 has been adjusted following the filing of the Company’s 2013 tax return in September 2014. The adjustment was primarily due to tax-basis income received by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2013 exceeding GAAP-basis income with respect to collateralized securities and interests in partnerships held in its investment portfolio during such period. The tax notices for such collateralized securities and interests in partnerships were received by the Company subsequent to the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The difference between the Company’s GAAP-basis net investment income and its tax-basis net investment income is primarily due to 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 the reclassification of unamortized original issue discount recognized upon prepayment of loans from income for GAAP purposes to realized gains for tax purposes.

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.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the gross unrealized appreciation on the Company’s investments and unrealized gain on foreign currency was $143,015 and $125,870, respectively. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the gross unrealized depreciation on the Company’s investments and unrealized loss on foreign currency was $81,438 and $69,594 respectively.

The aggregate cost of the Company’s investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes totaled $4,254,972 and $4,081,123 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis was $61,577 and $56,276 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

As of September 30, 2014, except for one equity/other investment, Fronton Investor Holdings, LLC, the Company was not an “affiliated person” of any of its portfolio companies, as defined in the 1940 Act. As of September 30, 2014, the Company did not “control” any of its portfolio companies, as defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if it owned 25% or more of its voting securities or it had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company, and would be an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

The Company’s investment portfolio may contain loans that are in the form of lines of credit or revolving credit facilities, which require the Company to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had seven such investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $87,179. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had five such investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $48,439 and one equity/other investment, American Energy Ohio Holdings, LLC, with an unfunded commitment of $4,629. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s investments were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:


Valuation Inputs	September 30, 2014 (Unaudited)		December 31, 2013
Level 1—Price quotations in active markets	$	1,359	$	2,147
Level 2—Significant other observable inputs		—		—
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs		4,315,165		4,135,434

Total	$	4,316,524	$	4,137,581

The Company’s investments as of September 30, 2014 consisted primarily of debt securities that were acquired directly from the issuer. Thirty-four senior secured loan investments, one senior secured bond investment, ten subordinated debt investments and one collateralized security 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, expected cash flows, call features and other relevant terms of the debt. Except as described below, 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. One equity investment, which is traded on an active public market, was valued at its closing price on September 30, 2014. One senior secured loan investment which was newly-issued and purchased near September 30, 2014, 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. Except as described above, the Company valued its other investments, including two equity/other 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.

The Company’s investments as of December 31, 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-seven senior secured loan investments, six subordinated debt investments and one collateralized security, 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, expected cash flows, call features and other relevant terms of the debt. Except as described below, 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. Also, one equity investment which is traded on an active public market was valued at its closing price as of December 31, 2013.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers, as applicable, 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, including the use of an independent valuation firm, to determine fair value for securities for which it cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through third-party pricing services or independent dealers or where the Company’s board of directors otherwise determines that the use of such other methods is appropriate. 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.

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

Note 8. Financing Arrangements (continued)

JPM Financing

On April 23, 2013, through its two wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiaries, Locust Street Funding LLC, or Locust Street, and Race Street Funding LLC, or Race Street, the Company entered into an amendment, or the April 2013 amendment, to its debt financing arrangement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, or JPM, which was originally entered into on July 21, 2011 (and previously amended on September 26, 2012). 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.

Pursuant to the financing arrangement, the assets held by Locust Street secure the obligations of Locust Street under certain Class A Floating Rate Notes, or 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 is $1,140,000. All principal and interest on the Class A Notes will be due and payable on the stated maturity date of April 15, 2024. 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.

Race Street, in turn, has 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, and subsequently amended as of October 24, 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 is $1,140,000. Accordingly, the maximum amount payable at any time to Race Street under the JPM Facility is $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.

Pursuant to the financing arrangement, the assets held by Race Street secure the obligations of Race Street under the JPM Facility.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Class A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,140,000 had been purchased by Race Street from Locust Street and subsequently sold to JPM under the JPM

Facility for aggregate proceeds of $950,000. The carrying amount outstanding under the JPM Facility approximates its fair value. The Company funded each purchase of Class A Notes by Race Street through a capital contribution to Race Street. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Race Street’s liability under the JPM Facility was $950,000 and $950,000, respectively, plus $6,690 and $6,690, respectively, of accrued interest expense. The Class A Notes issued by Locust Street and purchased by Race Street eliminate in consolidation on the Company’s financial statements.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of assets held by Locust Street was $1,938,295 and $1,870,351, respectively, which included assets purchased by Locust Street with proceeds from the issuance of Class A Notes. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of assets held by Race Street was $824,092 and $747,330, respectively.

Walnut Street Credit Facility

On March 11, 2014, Walnut Street Funding LLC, or Walnut Street, the Company’s wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiary, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or collectively with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Wells Fargo, entered into an amendment, or the Walnut Street amendment, to the revolving credit facility originally entered into by such parties on May 17, 2012, or 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 amendment increased the maximum commitments available under the Walnut Street credit facility from $250,000 to $300,000 and decreased, from 2.75% to 2.50%, the applicable spread above three-month LIBOR that is payable on the portion of outstanding advances under the Walnut Street credit facility attributable to “Traditional Middle Market Loans,” “Fixed Rate Loans” and “Second Lien Loans,” in each case as defined in the Walnut Street credit facility. The Company paid certain fees to Wells Fargo in connection with the Walnut Street amendment.

Under the Walnut Street credit facility, the Company contributes cash or debt securities to Walnut Street from time to time and retains a residual interest in any assets contributed through its ownership of Walnut Street or receives 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 the Company and the Company’s exposure under the facility is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Walnut Street.

Borrowings under the Walnut Street credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR, plus a spread ranging between 1.50% and 2.50% 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 in an amount equal to 0.50% of unused amounts up to $25,000 and 2.00% of unused amounts above $25,000, 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $212,800 and $225,000, respectively, was outstanding under the Walnut Street credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the facility approximates its fair value. The Company incurred costs of $4,029 in connection with obtaining and amending the Walnut Street credit facility, which the Company has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheets and amortizes to interest expense over the life of the facility. As of September 30, 2014, $2,157 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the components of total interest expense for the Walnut Street credit facility were as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,

4.000% Notes due 2019

On July 14, 2014, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, or U.S. Bank, entered into an indenture, or the base indenture, and a first supplemental indenture, or the first supplemental indenture, and together with the base indenture, the indenture, relating to the Company’s issuance of $400,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.000% notes due 2019, or the notes.

The notes will mature on July 15, 2019 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time or from time to time at the redemption price set forth in the indenture. The notes bear interest at a rate of 4.000% per year, payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2015. The notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes and rank pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company.

In addition, on the occurrence of a “change of control repurchase event,” as defined in the indenture, the Company will generally be required to make an offer to purchase the outstanding notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

The indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to comply with the asset coverage requirements of Section 18(a)(1)(A), as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act, whether or not it is subject to those requirements, and to provide financial information to the holders of the notes and U.S. Bank if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These covenants are subject to limitations and exceptions that are described in the indenture.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $400,000 and $0, respectively, was outstanding under the notes. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the notes was approximately $404,320. The Company incurred costs of $6,146 in connection with issuing the notes, which the Company has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheets and amortizes to interest expense over the life of the notes. As of September 30, 2014, $5,881 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

Note 10. Financial Highlights (continued)

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

(4)	The issuance of common stock on a per share basis reflects the incremental net asset value changes as a result of the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan.

(5)

The listing tender offer resulted in a reduction to net asset value as a result of the Company repurchasing shares at a price greater than its net asset value per share. 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 year ended December 31, 2013.

(6)

The total return based on net asset value for each period presented was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of the end of the applicable period, adding the cash distributions per share that were declared during the period and dividing the total by the net asset value per share as of the beginning of the applicable period. 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 rates 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 the applicable period and is calculated in accordance with GAAP. These return figures do not represent an actual return to stockholders.

(7)

The total return based on market value for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was calculated by taking the closing price of the Company’s shares on the NYSE on September 30, 2014, adding the cash distributions per share that were declared during the period and dividing the total by $10.25, the closing price of the Company’s shares on the NYSE on April 16, 2014 (the first day the shares began trading on the NYSE). The historical calculation of total return based on market value in the table should not be considered a representation of the Company’s future total return based on market value, 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 rates 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, general economic conditions and fluctuations in per share market value. 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 the applicable period and is calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Overview

We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on December 21, 2007, and commenced investment operations on January 2, 2009. 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 U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.

On April 16, 2014, shares of our common stock began trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “FSIC”. This listing accomplished our goal of providing our stockholders with greatly enhanced liquidity.

Our investment activities are managed by FB Advisor and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent. Under the July 2014 investment advisory 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 investment categories, which we believe will allow us to generate an attractive total return with an acceptable level of risk.

Direct Originations: We intend to leverage our relationship with GDFM and its global sourcing and origination platform to directly source investment opportunities. Such investments are originated or structured specifically for us or made by us and are not generally available to the broader market. These 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 directly originated investments may offer higher returns and more favorable protections than broadly syndicated transactions.

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. Such opportunities may include event driven investments, anchor orders and collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs.

In the case of event driven investments, 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 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.

We may also 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, i.e., an anchor order. 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. 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 addition, our relationship with GSO Capital Partners LP, the parent of GDFM and one of the largest CLO managers in the world, allows us to opportunistically invest in CLOs. 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.

Broadly Syndicated/Other: Although our primary focus is to invest in directly originated transactions and opportunistic investments, 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 directly originated investments and provide a complement to our less liquid 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 middle-market 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 may issue loans to our target companies as primary market or directly originated investments. 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 or the equity-related securities in our target companies, generally 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, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps.

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 may be rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization and, in such case, 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 Ratings Services). 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 or loss on investments, net realized gain or loss on foreign currency, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and net unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency. Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating and other expenses. Net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost, including the respective realized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investment transactions. Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency is the portion of realized gain or loss attributable to foreign currency fluctuations. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio, including the respective unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investments. Net unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency is the net change in the value of receivables or accruals due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

We principally generate revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments we hold. In addition, we 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. We may also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity or other securities we hold.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of advisory fees and other expenses under the July 2014 investment advisory agreement and the administration agreement, interest expense from financing facilities and other indebtedness, and other expenses necessary for our operations. Our investment advisory fee compensates FB Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. FB Advisor is responsible for compensating our investment sub-adviser.

We 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 that 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. FB Advisor will allocate the cost of such services to us based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics.

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

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings had agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that was sufficient to ensure that no portion of our distributions to stockholders were paid from proceeds of the sale of shares of our common stock or borrowings.

As a result of the listing of our shares of common stock on the NYSE, effective November 7, 2014, Franklin Square Holdings terminated the expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to its terms. Since entering into the expense reimbursement agreement, no reimbursements were made, and no reimbursements were expected to be

made in the foreseeable future, by Franklin Square Holdings, pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement. For additional information regarding the expense reimbursement agreement, see our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013.

As of September 30, 2014, except for one equity/other investment, Fronton Investor Holdings, LLC, we were not an “affiliated person” of any of our portfolio companies, as defined in the 1940 Act. As of September 30, 2014, we did not “control” any of our portfolio companies, 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 or we had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company, and would be an “affiliated person” 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, revolving credit facilities or delayed draw 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 September 30, 2014, we had seven such investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $87,179. As of December 31, 2013, we had five such investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $48,439 and one equity/other investment, American Energy Ohio Holdings, LLC, with an unfunded commitment of $4,629. We maintain sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:


	September 30, 2014					December 31, 2013
Investment Rating	Fair Value		Percentage of Portfolio			Fair Value		Percentage of Portfolio
1	$	533,141		12	%	$	510,687		12	%
2		3,386,481		79	%		3,244,518		79	%
3		359,759		8	%		340,238		8	%
4		14,994		0	%		40,034		1	%

Total	$	4,316,524		100	%	$	4,137,581		100	%

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

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013

Revenues

We generated investment income of $115,917 and $123,307 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 $105,937 and $110,072 of cash income earned as well as $9,980 and $13,235 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 decrease in investment income is due primarily to the reduction in the yield on our investments attributed to a general tightening of spreads in the credit markets.

Expenses

Our net expenses were $55,814 and $55,535 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our operating expenses include base management fees attributed to FB Advisor of $20,000 and $22,720 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our operating expenses also include administrative services expenses attributed to FB Advisor of $1,202 and $1,243 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

FB Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on our performance. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we accrued subordinated incentive fees on income of $14,794 and $16,555, respectively, based upon the performance of our portfolio. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we reversed capital gains incentive fees of $910 and $1,548, respectively, based on the performance of our portfolio. 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 $18,940 and $13,098 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, in connection with our credit facilities, the JPM Facility and the notes. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, $2,226 of this amount related to the accelerated amortization of remaining deferred financing costs upon the termination of the Arch Street credit facility. The fees incurred with our fund administrator, which provides various accounting and administrative services to us, totaled $172 and $343 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We incurred fees and expenses with our stock transfer agent of $4 and $610 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Fees for our board of directors were $266 and $241 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Our other general and administrative expenses totaled $1,346 and $2,273 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013
Expenses associated with our independent audit and related fees	$	102	$	151
Compensation of our chief compliance officer		25		21
Legal fees		294		251
Printing fees		77		601
Other		848		1,249

Total	$	1,346	$	2,273

During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the ratio of our operating expenses to our average net assets was 2.28% and 2.15%, respectively. Our ratio of operating expenses to our average net assets during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 includes $18,940 and $13,098, respectively, related to interest expense, and $13,884 and $15,007, respectively, related to accruals for incentive fees. Without such expenses, our ratio of operating expenses to average net assets would have been 0.94% and 1.06% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Incentive fees and interest expense, among other things, may increase or decrease our expense ratios relative to comparative periods depending on portfolio performance and changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, among other factors. The decrease in the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 can primarily be attributed to the reduction in management fees resulting from our entry into the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, as well as a reduction in transfer agent fees charged to us.

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $60,103 ($0.25 per share) and $67,772 ($0.26 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in net investment income on a per share basis can be attributed to, among other things, the reduction in the yield of our investments attributed to a general tightening of spreads in the credit markets and increased interest expense, including the accelerated amortization of remaining deferred financing costs associated with the closing of the Arch Street credit facility. The effect of these items were partially offset by lower management and incentive fees during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

We sold investments and received principal repayments of $18,846 and $329,512, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2014, from which we realized a net gain of $5,421. We also realized a loss of $338 from settlements on foreign currency during the three months ended September 30, 2014. We sold investments and received principal repayments of $378,878 and $289,769, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, from which we realized a net gain of $6,602. We also realized a net gain of $70 from settlements on foreign currency during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

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

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $(9,648) and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency totaled $61. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $(14,857) and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency totaled $30. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the three months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily driven by unrealized appreciation in certain equity/other investments, which was partially offset by unrealized depreciation in our senior secured loan and bond positions. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the three months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily driven by general widening of credit spreads in the third quarter of 2013.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $55,599 ($0.23 per share) compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $59,617 ($0.23 per share) during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013

Revenues

Such revenues represent $320,875 and $317,587 of cash income earned as well as $30,559 and $40,113 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 decrease in investment income is due primarily to the reduction in the yield on our investments attributed to a general tightening of spreads in the credit markets.

Expenses

Our net expenses were $177,481 and $165,144 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reversed $621 of capital gains incentive fees previously accrued based on the performance of our portfolio. 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 $45,769 and $37,110 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, in connection with our credit facilities, the JPM Facility and the notes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the ratio of our operating expenses to our average net assets was 6.99% and 6.43%, respectively. Our ratio of operating expenses to our average net assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 includes $45,769 and $37,110, respectively, related to interest expense and $51,227 and $47,329, respectively, related to accruals for incentive fees. Without such expenses, our ratio of operating expenses to average net assets would have been 3.23% and 3.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 increase in the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets during the nine months ended

September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 can primarily be attributed to costs associated with the listing, partially offset by a reduction in management fees as a result of the waiver by FB Advisor of certain management fees to which it was otherwise entitled, and subsequent permanent reduction of such fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as well as a reduction in administrative services expenses and stock transfer agent fees charged to us.

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $173,953 ($0.69 per share) and $192,556 ($0.76 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in net investment income on a per share basis can be attributed to, among other things, the reduction in the yield of our investments attributed to a general tightening of spreads in the credit markets, and increased interest expense, including the accelerated amortization of remaining deferred financing costs associated with the closing of the Arch Street credit facility, the one-time listing expenses incurred and the increase in capital gains incentive fee during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

We sold investments and received principal repayments of $691,863 and $832,027, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from which we realized a net gain of $25,959. We also realized a net loss of $243 from settlements on foreign currency during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We sold investments and received principal repayments of $900,636 and $1,074,341, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from which we realized a net gain of $37,220. We also realized a net loss of $32 from settlements on foreign currency during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

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

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $5,094 and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency totaled $207. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $(40,837), and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency was $125. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily driven by unrealized appreciation in certain of our subordinated debt and equity positions, which was partially offset by unrealized depreciation in our senior secured loans. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily driven by a general widening of credit spreads in the second quarter of 2013.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $204,970 ($0.81 per share) compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $189,032 ($0.75 per share) during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2014, we had $179,984 in cash, which we held in a custodial account, and $160,706 in borrowings available under our financing facilities. On July 14, 2014, we entered into the indenture, in connection with the issuance of $400,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.000% notes due 2019. The net proceeds to us from the issuance of the notes were approximately $394,392 before expenses, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions of $3,600. On July 14, 2014, we used $350,000 of the net proceeds received from the issuance of the notes to repay the Arch Street credit facility in full and $44,392 of the net proceeds to repay borrowings under the Broad Street credit facility. For additional information regarding the notes, see Note 8 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Below is a summary of our outstanding financing arrangements as of September 30, 2014:

Our average borrowings and weighted average interest rate, including the effect of non-usage fees, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $1,781,431 and 3.06%, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, our weighted average effective interest rate on borrowings, including the effect of non-usage fees, was 3.30%.

For additional information regarding our outstanding financing arrangements as of September 30, 2014, see Note 8 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

In connection with the listing of our shares of common stock on the NYSE, we terminated the old DRP. The final distribution reinvestment under the old DRP was made in connection with the regular monthly cash distribution paid on March 31, 2014 to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 28, 2014. On May 23, 2014, we adopted the new DRP, which became effective on June 2, 2014. The new DRP was first implemented in connection with the regular monthly cash distribution paid on July 2, 2014 to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 24, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we issued 4,779,843 and 7,984,869 shares of common stock pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan in effect on the applicable date of issuance for gross proceeds of $48,974 and $80,950 at an average price per share of $10.25 and $10.14, respectively. During the period from October 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014, we issued 208,201 shares of common stock pursuant to the new DRP for gross proceeds of $2,122 at an average price per share of $10.19. For additional information regarding the terms of the new DRP, see Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

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.

Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the net proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock under the new DRP 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.

On April 16, 2014, we commenced the listing tender offer to purchase for cash up to $250,000 in value of our shares of common stock from our stockholders. In accordance with the terms of the listing tender offer, we selected the lowest price, not greater than $11.00 per share or less than $10.35 per share, net to the tendering stockholder in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, that enabled us to purchase the maximum number of shares of common stock properly tendered in the listing tender offer and not properly withdrawn having an aggregate purchase price of up to $250,000.

The listing tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 28, 2014. Based on the final count by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary and paying agent for the listing tender offer, a total of 24,075,768 shares of common stock were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or below the purchase price of $10.75 per share. Due to the oversubscription of the listing tender offer, on June 4, 2014, we accepted for purchase on a pro rata basis 23,255,813 shares of common stock, or approximately 96.6% of the shares tendered, at a purchase price of $10.75 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $250,000, excluding fees and expenses relating to the listing tender offer. The 23,255,813 shares of common stock accepted for purchase in the listing tender offer represented approximately 8.9% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of June 4, 2014. We used available cash and borrowings under the ING credit facility to fund the purchase of shares of common stock in the listing tender offer and to pay for all related fees and expenses.

Historically, we conducted quarterly tender offers pursuant to our share repurchase program to provide our stockholders with limited liquidity. In anticipation of the listing of our shares of common stock on the NYSE, our board of directors terminated our share repurchase program effective March 21, 2014.

The following table provides information concerning our repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:


For the Three Months Ended	Repurchase Date	Shares Repurchased		Percentage of Shares Tendered That Were Repurchased			Repurchase Price Per Share		Aggregate Consideration for Repurchased Shares
Fiscal 2013
December 31, 2012	January 2, 2013		883,047		100	%	$	10.00	$	8,830
March 31, 2013	April 1, 2013		1,053,119		100	%	$	10.10	$	10,637
June 30, 2013	July 1, 2013		749,224		100	%	$	10.20	$	7,642

RIC Status and Distributions

We have elected to be treated for U.S. 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 U.S. federal income taxes.

Following commencement of our investment operations, we declared our first distribution on January 29, 2009. Subject to our board of directors’ discretion and applicable legal restrictions, we currently authorize and declare regular cash distributions on a monthly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. On November 6, 2014, our board of directors approved the declaration and payment of regular cash distributions to our stockholders on a quarterly rather than monthly basis, effective January 1, 2015. 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. 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.

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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013 represented a return of capital.

We intend to continue to make our regular distributions in the form of cash out of assets legally available for distribution.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we have declared and paid on our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:


	Distribution
For the Three Months Ended	Per Share		Amount
Fiscal 2013
March 31, 2013	$	0.2025	$	51,184
June 30, 2013	$	0.2048	$	52,111
September 30, 2013	$	0.2093	$	53,626
Fiscal 2014
March 31, 2014	$	0.2160	$	56,237

(1)	On July 1, 2014, the our board of directors declared a special cash distribution of $0.10 per share, which was paid on August 15, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2014.

On October 10, 2014, our board of directors declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.07425 per share. The regular monthly cash distribution was paid on November 4, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 27, 2014. On October 10, 2014, our board of directors also declared a special cash distribution of $0.10 per share, which will be paid on or about November 14, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2014. On November 6, 2014, our board of directors declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.07425 per share, which will be paid on or about December 2, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 20, 2014.

Historically, we had an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for our stockholders, the old DRP, which terminated upon the listing of our shares of common stock on the NYSE. The final distribution reinvestment under the old DRP was made in connection with the regular monthly cash distribution paid on March 31, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 28, 2014. Under the old DRP, if we made a cash distribution, our stockholders received distributions in cash unless they specifically “opted in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. On May 23, 2014, we adopted the new DRP, which was effective June 2, 2014. The new DRP was first implemented in connection with the regular monthly cash distribution paid on July 2, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 24, 2014. Pursuant to the new DRP, we will reinvest all cash dividends or distributions declared by our board of directors on behalf of investors who do not elect to receive their distributions in cash. As a result, if our board of directors declares a distribution, then stockholders who have not elected to “opt out” of the new DRP will have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock.

With respect to each distribution pursuant to the new DRP, we reserve the right to either issue new shares of common stock or purchase shares of common stock in the open market in connection with implementation of the new DRP. Unless in our sole discretion, we otherwise direct the plan administrator, (A) if the per share market price (as defined in the new DRP) is equal to or greater than the estimated net asset value per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) of our common stock on the payment date for the distribution, then we will issue

shares of common stock at the greater of (i) net asset value per share of common stock or (ii) 95% of the market price; or (B) if the market price is less than the net asset value per share, then, in our sole discretion, (i) shares of common stock will be purchased in open market transactions for the accounts of participants to the extent practicable, or (ii) we will issue shares of common stock at net asset value per share. Pursuant to the terms of the new DRP, the number of shares of common stock to be issued to a participant will be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to a participant by the price per share at which we issue such shares; provided, however, that shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a participant based on the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of common stock purchased in the open market.

If a stockholder receives distributions in the form of common stock pursuant to the new DRP, such stockholder generally will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if it elected to receive distributions in cash. If our common stock is trading at or below net asset value, a stockholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of cash that they would have received if they had elected to receive the distribution in cash. If our common stock is trading above net asset value, a stockholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of our common stock. The stockholder’s basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of common stock received in a distribution will be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the stockholder. Any stock received in a distribution will have a holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares of common stock are credited to the stockholder’s account.

We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to us, including proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions.

The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions on a tax basis that we have paid on our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 91.3% and 88.8%, respectively, of our gross investment income was attributable to cash income earned, 5.7% and 9.7%, respectively, was attributable to non-cash accretion of discount and 3.0% and 1.5%, respectively, was attributable to PIK interest.

Our net investment income on a tax basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $168,913 and $191,169, respectively. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $162,440 and $148,676, respectively, of undistributed net investment income and realized gains on a tax basis.

See Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our distributions, including a reconciliation of our GAAP-basis net investment income to our tax-basis net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

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 an independent valuation firm, if applicable;

•

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

•

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

•

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

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on our consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, our board of directors may use independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, our board of directors is not required to determine fair value in accordance with the valuation provided by any single source, and may use any relevant data, including information obtained from FB Advisor or any independent third-party valuation or pricing service that our board of directors deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. 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, and may apply discounts or premiums, where and as appropriate, due to the higher (or lower) financial risk and/or the size of portfolio companies relative to comparable firms, as well as such other factors as our board of directors, in consultation with any third-party valuation firm, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair 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, the cost basis in the investment will be allocated 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 September 30, 2014 consisted primarily of debt securities that were acquired directly from the issuer. Thirty-four senior secured loan investments, one senior secured bond investment, ten subordinated debt investments and one collateralized security 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, expected cash flows, call features and other relevant terms of the debt. Except as described below, 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 equity investment, which is traded on an active public market, was valued at its closing price on September 30, 2014. One senior secured loan investment which was newly-issued and purchased near September 30, 2014, was valued at cost, as our board of directors determined that the cost of such investment was the best indication of its fair value. Except as described above, we valued our other investments, including two equity/other 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.

Our investments as of December 31, 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-seven senior secured loan investments, six subordinated debt investments and one collateralized security, 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, expected cash flows, call features and other relevant terms of the debt. Except as described below, 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. Also, one equity investment which is traded on an active public market was valued at its closing price as of December 31, 2013.

We periodically benchmark the bid and ask prices we receive from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers, as applicable, 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, including the use of an independent valuation firm, to determine fair value for securities for which we cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through third-party pricing services or independent dealers, or where our board of directors otherwise determines that the use of other methods is appropriate. 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 interest income. Upfront structuring fees are recorded as fee income when earned. We record prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when we receive such amounts.

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

Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated by using the specific identification method. We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized and the respective unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investments. 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 each of the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of such 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 none of the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the April 2014 investment advisory agreement or the July 2014 investment advisory agreement include or contemplate 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 terms of each of the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, FB Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equaled 20.0% of our “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and was subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the 2008 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 did not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeded the hurdle rate of 2.0%. Once our pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeded the hurdle rate, FB Advisor was 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 equaled 2.5%, or 10.0% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FB Advisor received 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income. Under the April 2014 investment advisory agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income was calculated in the same manner, except that the hurdle rate used to compute the subordinated incentive fee on income was based on the value of our net assets rather than adjusted capital.

Under the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, the hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets, was reduced from 2.0% to 1.875% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.5%. 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 1.875%. 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 2.34375%, or 9.375% annually, of net assets. Thereafter, FB Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Under both the April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income is subject to a total return requirement, which provides that no incentive fee in respect of our pre-incentive fee net investment income will be payable except to the extent that 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the eleven preceding calendar quarters. Accordingly, any subordinated incentive fee on income that is payable in a calendar quarter will be limited to the lesser of (i) 20.0% of the amount by which our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the applicable quarterly hurdle rate, subject to the “catch-up” provision, and (ii) (x) 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the eleven preceding calendar quarters. For the foregoing purpose, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” is the sum of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, base management fees, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters. There will be no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and, accordingly, there will be no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the applicable quarterly hurdle rate and there will be no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the applicable quarterly hurdle rate.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not incur any interest or penalties.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into agreements with FB Advisor to provide us with investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the July 2014 investment advisory agreement are equal to (a) an annual base management fee based on 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. See “—Related Party Transactions—Compensation of the Investment Advisor” for a discussion of these agreements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $20,000 and $22,720, respectively, in base management fees and $1,202 and $1,243, respectively, in administrative services expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $62,229 and $67,541, respectively, in base management fees and $3,591 and $4,034, respectively, in administrative services expenses. In addition, FB Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on the performance of our portfolio. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we accrued subordinated incentive fees on income of $14,794 and $16,555, respectively, based upon the performance of our portfolio. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014

and 2013, we accrued subordinated incentive fees on income of $45,033 and $47,950, respectively, based upon the performance of our portfolio. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we paid FB Advisor $44,542 in subordinated incentive fees on income. As of September 30, 2014, a subordinated incentive fee on income of $14,794 was payable to FB Advisor. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we reversed capital gains incentive fees previously accrued of $910 and $1,548, respectively, in each case, based on the performance of our portfolio. As of December 31, 2013, we had accrued capital gains incentive fees of $32,133 based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $30,543 was based on unrealized gains and $1,590 was based on realized gains. We paid FB Advisor $1,590 in capital gains incentive fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, we had accrued $36,737 in capital gains incentive fees, of which only $2,714 was based on realized gains and was payable to FB Advisor.

Compensation of the Investment Adviser

management fee based on the average value of our gross assets and an incentive fee based on our performance. We commenced accruing fees under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement on January 2, 2009, upon commencement of our investment operations. Base management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. The annual base management fees under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the April 2014 investment advisory agreement were equal to 2.0% of the average value of our gross assets.

In anticipation of the listing of our shares of common stock on the NYSE, FB Advisor recommended that the April 2014 investment advisory agreement be further amended to (i) reduce the annualized hurdle rate used in connection with the calculation of the subordinated incentive fee on income, expressed as a rate of return on our net assets, from 8% to 7.5% and (ii) assuming the reduction to the hurdle rate was approved, reduce the base management fee from 2.0% to 1.75% of the average value of our gross assets. At a special meeting of stockholders that was adjourned on June 23, 2014 and reconvened on July 17, 2014, we received stockholder approval to amend and restate the April 2014 investment advisory agreement to reflect the amendments approved by our stockholders. On July 17, 2014, we entered into the July 2014 investment advisory agreement. Pending stockholder approval of the proposal, FB Advisor agreed, effective April 1, 2014, to waive a portion of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the April 2014 investment advisory agreement so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average value of our gross assets.

The incentive fee consisted of three parts under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement and consists of two parts under each of the April 2014 advisory agreement and July 2014 investment advisory agreement. The first part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, and equals 20.0% of our “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter. Under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement the subordinated incentive fee on income was subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the 2008 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 did not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeded the hurdle rate of 2.0%. Once our pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeded the hurdle rate, FB Advisor was 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 equaled 2.5%, or 10.0% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FB Advisor received 20.0% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income. Under the April 2014 investment advisory agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income was calculated in the same manner, except that the hurdle rate used to compute the subordinated incentive fee on income was based on the value of our net assets rather than adjusted capital.

Under the July 2014 investment advisory agreement, the hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets, was reduced from 2.0% to 1.875% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.5%. 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 1.875%. 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 our pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.34375%, or 9.375% annually, of the value of our net assets. Thereafter, FB Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income.

(ii) (x) 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the eleven preceding calendar quarters. For the foregoing purpose, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” is the sum of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, base management fees, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters. There will be no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and, accordingly, there will be no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the applicable quarterly hurdle rate and there will be no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the applicable quarterly hurdle rate.

The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the July 2014 investment advisory agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of our incentive fee capital gains, which equal our 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. We accrue for the capital gains incentive fee, which, if earned, is paid annually. We accrue the incentive fee based on net realized and unrealized gains; however, 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 methodology for calculating the capital gains incentive fee is identical under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement.

The third part of the incentive fee under the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement was referred to as the subordinated liquidation incentive fee, which equaled 20.0% of the net proceeds from a liquidation of our assets in excess of adjusted capital, as calculated immediately prior to liquidation. The April 2014 investment advisory agreement and the July 2014 investment advisory agreement do not include the subordinated liquidation incentive fee.

Pursuant to the 2008 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, we reimbursed FB Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement was set at the lesser of (1) FB Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that we estimated it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. FB Advisor was required to allocate the cost of such services to us based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. Our board of directors then assessed 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 considered 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 compared 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.

Pursuant to the administration agreement, FB Advisor provides administrative services necessary for our operation, including general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations and other administrative services. There is no separate fee paid by us to FB Advisor in connection with the services provided under the administration agreement; provided, however, that we will reimburse FB Advisor no less than quarterly for all costs and expenses incurred by FB Advisor in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities thereunder. FB Advisor will allocate the cost of such services to us based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics.

FB Advisor agreed, effective April 1, 2014, to waive a portion of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the April 2014 investment advisory agreement so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average value of our gross assets. As a result, the amount shown for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is net of waivers of $2,837. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $64,920 and $66,240, respectively, in base management fees were paid to FB Advisor. As of September 30, 2014, $20,009 in base management fees were payable to FB Advisor.

(2)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we accrued capital gains incentive fees of $6,194 and $(621), respectively, based on the performance of our portfolio. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had accrued $36,737 and $32,133, respectively, in capital gains incentive fees, of which $34,023 and $30,543, respectively, was based on unrealized gains and $2,714 and $1,590, 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. We paid FB Advisor $1,590 in capital gains incentive fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

(3)	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid $44,542 and $44,788, respectively, of subordinated incentive fees on income to FB Advisor. As of September 30, 2014, a subordinated incentive fee on income of $14,794 was payable to FB Advisor.

(4)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $2,739 and $3,520, respectively, of administrative services expenses related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services rendered to us by FB Advisor and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses. We paid $3,756 and $3,620 , respectively, in administrative services expenses to FB Advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2014, 71.4% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) paid variable interest rates, 22.1% paid fixed interest rates, 2.5% were income producing equity or other investments, and the remaining 4.0% 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. However, many of our variable rate investments provide for an interest rate floor, which may prevent our interest income from increasing until benchmark interest rates increase beyond a threshold amount. To the extent that a substantial portion of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates beyond this threshold would make it easier for us to meet or exceed the hurdle rate applicable to the subordinated incentive fee on income, 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 Broad Street credit facility, the ING credit facility and the Walnut Street credit facility, Broad Street, the Company and Walnut Street, respectively, borrow at a floating rate based on a benchmark interest rate. Under the terms of the JPM Facility, Race Street pays interest to JPM at a fixed rate. Under the terms of the indenture for the notes, the Company pays interest to the holders of the notes 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, or financing arrangements in effect, our interest expense would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.

The following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on our interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in the composition of our investment portfolio, including the accrual status of our investments, and our borrowing arrangements in effect as of September 30, 2014 (dollar amounts are presented in thousands):


Basis Point Change in Interest Rates	Increase (Decrease) in Interest Income			Increase (Decrease) in Interest Expense			Increase (Decrease) in Net Interest Income			Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
Down 25 basis points	$	(897	)	$	(1,422	)	$	525			0.1	%
Current LIBOR		—			—			—			—
Up 100 basis points		5,653			5,690			(37	)		(0.0)	%
Up 300 basis points		63,638			17,069			46,569			13.2	%
Up 500 basis points		124,515			28,448			96,067			27.1	%

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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 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.”

4. Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under 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 September 30, 2014. 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 month period ended September 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
