Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
FS Investment Corporation, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on December 21, 2007 and formally commenced operations on January 2, 2009. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company, or RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had five wholly-owned financing subsidiaries and two wholly-owned subsidiaries through which it holds equity interests in non-controlled and non-affiliated portfolio companies. The consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of March 31, 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 directly from its target companies as primary market investments.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 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 Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Many of the amounts have been rounded, and all amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Capital Gains Incentive Fee: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 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 LLC, or the NYSE, on April 16, 2014. On April 16, 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated investment advisory agreement, or the amended 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement. Because the amended investment advisory agreement and the administration agreement did not become effective until April 16, 2014, the investment advisory and administrative services agreement was the operative agreement between the Company and FB Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Pursuant to the terms of both the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the amended 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 the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the amended investment advisory agreement neither include nor 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 both the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the amended 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equaled 20.0% of “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 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 would not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 2.0%. Once the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FB Advisor would be entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of the pre-incentive
25

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.5%, or 10.0% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FB Advisor would receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income. Under the amended investment advisory agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income is calculated in the same manner, except that the hurdle rate used to compute the subordinated incentive fee on income is based on the net asset value of the Company’s assets rather than adjusted capital.
Under the amended 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 2.0% hurdle, 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 quartersminus (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 quarterly hurdle rate and there will be no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the quarterly hurdle rate.
FB Advisor has recommended that the amended investment advisory agreement be further amended to 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 8.0% to 7.5%. The Company’s board of directors has approved this amendment, and the Company plans to call a special meeting of stockholders of the Company scheduled for June 23, 2014, at which stockholders will be asked to vote on the proposal to amend the amended investment advisory agreement to, among other things, so reduce the annualized hurdle rate.
Reclassifications:Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.

Note 3. Share Transactions (continued)
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company issued 2,854,659 and 2,638,800 shares of common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan for gross proceeds of $29,257 and $26,476 at an average price per share of $10.25 and $10.03, respectively. During the period from April 1, 2014 to May 14, 2014, the Company issued 949,685 shares of common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan for gross proceeds of $9,783 at a price per share of $10.30.
In connection with the listing of its shares of common stock on the NYSE on April 16, 2014, the Company terminated its distribution reinvestment plan.
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 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.
The following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock repurchased by the Company under its share repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Listing Tender Offer
On April 16, 2014, the Company commenced a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer, or the tender offer, to purchase for cash up to $250,000 in value of its shares of common stock from its stockholders. In accordance with the terms of the tender offer, the Company intends to select 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 will enable the Company to purchase the maximum number of shares of common stock properly tendered in the tender offer and not properly withdrawn having an aggregate purchase price of up to $250,000 or such lesser number if less than $250,000 in value of its shares of common stock are properly tendered in the tender offer after giving effect to any shares of common stock properly withdrawn. The Company expects to use available cash and/or 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 any purchases of its shares of common stock in the tender offer and to pay for all related fees and expenses.
Note 4. Related Party Transactions
Compensation of the Investment Adviser
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the amended investment advisory agreement, FB Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee of 2.0% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. The Company commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement on January 2, 2009, upon commencement of the Company’s operations. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears.
The incentive fee, which had consisted of three parts under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, now consists of two parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate equal to 2.0% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 8.0%. As a result, FB Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 2.0%. Once the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FB Advisor will be entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.5%, or 10.0% annually. This “catch-up” feature allows FB Advisor to recoup the fees foregone as a result of the existence of the hurdle rate. Thereafter, FB Advisor will receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.
Under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the hurdle rate used to compute the subordinated incentive fee on income was based on adjusted capital. Under the amended investment advisory agreement, the hurdle rate used to compute the subordinated incentive fee on income is based on the net asset value of the Company’s assets rather than adjusted capital. In addition, under the amended 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. In other words, 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 2.0% hurdle, 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 quarterly hurdle rate and there will be no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the 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 amended 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, under the terms of the amended investment advisory agreement, the fee payable to FB Advisor is based on realized gains and no such fee is payable with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized. The methodology for calculating the capital gains incentive fee under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement was identical to the methodology used to calculate such fee under the amended investment advisory agreement.
The third part of the incentive fee under the 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 amended investment advisory agreement does not include the subordinated liquidation incentive fee.
In anticipation of the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on the NYSE, FB Advisor recommended that the amended 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 is approved, reduce the base management fee from 2.0% to 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets. The Company’s board of directors has approved this amendment, and the Company plans to call a special meeting of stockholders of the Company scheduled for June 23, 2014, at which stockholders will be asked to vote on the proposal. Pending stockholder approval of the proposal, FB Advisor has agreed, effective April 1, 2014, to waive a portion of the base management fee to which it is entitled under the amended investment advisory agreement so that the fee received equals 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets. There can be no assurance this waiver will continue in the future.
Pursuant to the 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 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 will provide administrative services necessary for the operation of the Company, including general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations and other administrative services. There will be 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.

Potential Conflicts of Interest
FB Advisor’s senior management team is comprised of the same personnel as the senior management teams of FS Investment Advisor, LLC, FSIC II Advisor, LLC, FSIC III Advisor, LLC and FS Global Advisor, LLC, the investment advisers to Franklin Square Holdings’ other affiliated BDCs and affiliated closed-end management investment company. 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 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 may not only enhance its ability to further its investment objectives and strategies, but 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.
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 has agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)
ensure that no portion of the Company’s distributions to stockholders will be paid from its offering proceeds or borrowings. However, because certain investments the Company may make, including preferred and common equity investments, may generate dividends and other distributions to the Company that are treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, a portion of the Company’s distributions to stockholders may also be deemed to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that the Company may use such dividends or other distribution proceeds to fund its distributions to stockholders. Under those circumstances, Franklin Square Holdings will not reimburse the Company for the portion of such distributions to stockholders that represent a return of capital for tax purposes, as the purpose of the expense reimbursement arrangement is not to prevent tax-advantaged distributions to stockholders.
Under the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between the Company’s cumulative distributions paid to its stockholders in each quarter, less the sum of the Company’s net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts are not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) in each quarter.
Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, the Company has a conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings under such agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which Franklin Square Holdings funded such amount, the sum of the Company’s net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by the Company to stockholders; provided, however, that (i) the Company will only reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for expense support payments made by Franklin Square Holdings with respect to any calendar quarter beginning on or after July 1, 2013 to the extent that the payment of such reimbursement (together with any other reimbursement paid during such fiscal year) does not cause “other operating expenses” (as defined below) (on an annualized basis and net of any expense support payments received by the Company during such fiscal year) to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of the Company’s average net assets attributable to its shares of common stock for the fiscal year-to-date period after taking such payments into account and (B) the percentage of the Company’s average net assets attributable to its shares of common stock represented by “other operating expenses” during the fiscal year in which such expense support payment from Franklin Square Holdings was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) shall not apply to any reimbursement payment which relates to an expense support payment from Franklin Square Holdings made during the same fiscal year) and (ii) the Company will not reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for expense support payments made by Franklin Square Holdings if the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by the Company in such calendar quarter is less than the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by the Company in the calendar quarter in which Franklin Square Holdings made the expense support payment to which such reimbursement relates. “Other operating expenses” means the Company’s total “operating expenses” (as defined below), excluding base management fees, incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. “Operating expenses” means all operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with GAAP for investment companies.

The Company or Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. Upon termination of the expense reimbursement agreement by Franklin Square Holdings, Franklin Square Holdings will be required to fund any amounts accrued thereunder as of the date of termination. Similarly, the Company’s conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings pursuant to the terms of the expense reimbursement agreement shall survive the termination of such agreement by either party.
Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, and its vice-chairman, David J. Adelman. There can be no assurance that the expense reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse any portion of the Company’s expenses in future quarters. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, no such reimbursements were required from Franklin Square Holdings.
Note 5. Distributions
The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company has declared and paid on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:
Distribution | ||||||||
For the Three Months Ended | Per Share | Amount | ||||||

March 31, 2014 | $ | 0.2160 | $ | 56,237 |
On March 31, 2014, the Company’s board of directors determined to increase the amount of the regular monthly cash distribution payable to stockholders of record from $0.0720 per share to $0.07425 per share in order to increase the Company’s annual distribution rate from 8.41% to 8.68% (based on the Company’s last publicly reported net asset value per share of $10.27 as of February 28, 2014). The increase in the regular monthly cash distribution to $0.07425 per share commenced with the regular monthly cash distribution payable on April 30, 2014 to stockholders of record as of April 29, 2014. On May 5, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.07425 per share. The regular monthly cash distribution will be paid on or about May 30, 2014 to stockholders of record on May 29, 2014.
The board of directors of the Company intends to declare two special cash distributions, each in the amount of $0.10 per share, that will be paid on or about August 15, 2014 and November 14, 2014 to stockholders of record as of July 31, 2014 and October 31, 2014, respectively. The payment of the two special cash distributions, like all future distributions, is 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, which terminated upon the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on the NYSE. Under that plan, 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. The Company’s board of directors has approved the implementation of a new distribution reinvestment plan, the terms of which have not yet been finalized. The Company expects the new

Note 5. Distributions (continued)
distribution reinvestment plan to be implemented in connection with the regular monthly cash distribution in June; however, there can be no assurance as to whether or when a new distribution reinvestment plan will be implemented. Pending the adoption of a new distribution reinvestment plan, stockholders that had elected to participate in the earlier distribution reinvestment plan will receive cash rather than shares of common stock in respect of any cash distribution the Company declares.
The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds 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, dividends or other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. During certain periods, the Company’s distributions may exceed its earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions the Company makes will represent a return of capital. 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.
The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions on a tax basis that the Company has paid on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $51,851 and $57,068, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $151,267 and $137,867, respectively, of undistributed net investment income and realized gains on a tax basis.

Note 5. Distributions (continued)
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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

As of March 31, 2014, the Company did not “control” and was not an “affiliate” of any of its portfolio companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if it owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an “affiliate” of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities.
The Company’s investment portfolio may contain loans that are in the form of lines of credit or revolving credit facilities, which require the Company to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had six such investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $90,641 and one equity/other investment, American Energy Ohio Holdings, LLC, with an unfunded commitment of $2,313. 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s investments were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:
Valuation Inputs | March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) | December 31, 2013 | ||||||

The Company’s investments as of March 31, 2014 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. Thirty-one senior secured loan investments, one senior secured bond investment, 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 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. One senior secured loan investment and one equity investment, each of which was newly-issued and purchased near March 31, 2014, were valued at cost, as the Company’s board of directors determined that the cost of each such investment was the best indication of its fair value. Also, one equity investment which is traded on an active public market was valued at its closing price on March 31, 2014 and two equity/other investments were valued by an independent third-party pricing service in the manner described above.
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.
The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of the Company’s management in purchasing and selling these investments, the Company believes that these prices are reliable indicators of fair value. However, because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported), the Company believes that these valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company may also use other methods to determine fair value for securities for which it cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through third-party pricing services or independent dealers, including the use of an independent valuation firm. The Company periodically benchmarks the valuations provided by the independent valuation firm against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its investments. The Company’s valuation committee and board of directors reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation process.
The following is a reconciliation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

On April 2, 2014, Arch Street repaid $23,682 on the Arch Street credit facility in accordance with the amendment. |
Arch Street Credit Facility
On August 29, 2012, Arch Street Funding LLC, or Arch Street, the Company’s wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiary, terminated its total return swap financing arrangement, or TRS, with Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, and entered into a revolving credit facility, or the Arch Street credit facility, with Citibank, as administrative agent, and the financial institutions and other lenders from time to time party thereto.
On March 31, 2014, Arch Street and Citibank amended the Arch Street credit facility to, among other things, (a) increase the interest rate applicable to loans outstanding thereunder (i) during the drawdown period to three-month LIBOR plus 2.05%, and (ii) thereafter, to three-month LIBOR plus 2.30%, (b) extend the final maturity date to August 29, 2016, (c) reduce the maximum commitments thereunder to $350,000, (d) add a financial covenant requiring that the Company maintain its net asset value at more than $200,000 and (e) modify the calculation of advance rates and certain eligibility and valuation criteria, in each case, applicable to Arch Street’s portfolio of debt securities that are pledged as collateral for the Arch Street credit facility. The Company paid certain fees to Citibank in connection with this amendment.
The Arch Street credit facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $350,000 on a committed basis. The Company may contribute cash or debt securities to Arch Street from time to time, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Arch Street credit facility, and will retain a residual interest in any assets contributed through its ownership of Arch Street or will receive fair market value for any debt securities sold to Arch Street. Arch Street may purchase additional debt securities from various sources. Arch Street’s obligations to the lenders under the facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Arch Street, including its portfolio of debt securities. The obligations of Arch Street under the 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 Arch Street.

Borrowings under the Arch Street credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 2.05% per annum through August 29, 2014 and three-month LIBOR plus 2.30% per annum thereafter. Borrowings under the facility are subject to compliance with an equity coverage ratio with respect to the current value of Arch Street’s portfolio and a loan compliance test with respect to the initial acquisition of each debt security in Arch Street’s portfolio. Beginning November 27, 2012, Arch Street became required to pay a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Arch Street credit facility is not borrowed. Outstanding borrowings under the facility will be amortized beginning nine months prior to the scheduled maturity date. Any amounts borrowed under the facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on August 29, 2016.

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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Race Street’s liability under the JPM Facility was $950,000, plus $6,518 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of assets held by Locust Street was $1,884,205 and $1,870,351, respectively, which included assets purchased by Locust Street with proceeds from the issuance of Class A Notes.

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 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.

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.

portion of the commitment under the ING credit facility for each day such unused portion exceeds 65% of the commitments and (b) 0.375% per annum on the unused portion of the commitments for each day the unused portion is 35% or less. The Company will pay letter of credit participation fees and a fronting fee on the average daily amount of any lender’s exposure with respect to any letters of credit issued under the ING credit facility.
In connection with the ING credit facility, the Company has made certain representations and warranties and must comply with various covenants and reporting requirements customary for facilities of this type. In addition, the Company must comply with the following financial covenants: (a) the Company’s minimum stockholders’ equity, measured as of each fiscal quarter-end, must be greater than or equal to the greater of (i) 40% of assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the last day of such fiscal quarter and (ii) $1,980,744 (less amounts paid to purchase common stock in the Company’s current tender offer), plus 50% of the net proceeds of any post-closing equity offerings; (b) the Company must maintain at all times a 200% asset coverage ratio; (c) the sum of (x) the Company and the guarantors’ net worth (defined as stockholders’ equity minus the net asset value held by the Company in any special-purpose financing subsidiaries) plus (y) 30% of the equity value of any special-purpose financing subsidiaries, must at all times be at least equal to the sum of (A) any unsecured longer-term debt of the Company and (B) accrued but unpaid base management fees and incentive fees at the time of measurement; and (d) the aggregate value of eligible portfolio investments that can be converted to cash in fewer than 20 business days without more than a 5% change in price must not be less than 10% of the covered debt amount (defined as the aggregate amount of outstanding loans and issued letters of credit under the facility, plus, to the extent incurred after closing of the ING credit facility, certain other permitted debt of the Company) for more than 30 business days during any period during which the covered debt amount (less cash and cash equivalents included in the borrowing base) is greater than 90% of the borrowing base (less cash and cash equivalents included therein).
The ING credit facility contains events of default customary for facilities of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, ING, at the instruction of the lenders, may terminate the commitments and declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the ING credit facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of default and subject, in certain cases, to the instructions of the lenders, the Company must pay interest at a default rate.

Overview
We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on December 21, 2007, and commenced operations on January 2, 2009. We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.
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 our amended 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 directly from our target companies. In connection with our debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also purchase minority interests in the form of common or preferred equity in our target companies, either in conjunction with one of our debt investments or through a co-investment with a financial sponsor, such as an institutional investor or private equity firm. In addition, a portion of our portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds and other debt securities.
The senior secured and second lien secured loans in which we invest generally have stated terms of three to seven years and any subordinated debt investments that we make generally will have stated terms of up to ten years, but the expected average life of such securities is generally between three and seven years. However, there

is no limit on the maturity or duration of any security in our portfolio. The loans in which we invest 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 expenses. Net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost. 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. 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 amended investment advisory agreement and the administration agreement, interest expense from financing facilities and other expenses necessary for our operations. Our investment advisory fee compensates FB Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. FB Advisor is responsible for compensating our investment sub-adviser.
We 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.
We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions, including (without limitation) fees and expenses relating to:
• | corporate and organization expenses relating to offerings of our securities; |
• | the cost of calculating our net asset value, including the cost of any third-party pricing or valuation services; |
• | the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and other securities; |
• | investment advisory fees; |

Expense Reimbursement
Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no portion of our distributions to stockholders will be paid from proceeds of the sale of shares of our common stock or borrowings. However, because certain investments we may make, including preferred and common equity investments, may generate dividends and other distributions to us that are treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, a portion of our distributions to stockholders may also be deemed to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that we may use such dividends or other distribution proceeds to fund our distributions to stockholders. Under those circumstances, Franklin Square Holdings will not reimburse us for the portion of such distributions to stockholders that represent a return of capital for tax purposes, as the purpose of the expense reimbursement arrangement is not to prevent tax-advantaged distributions to stockholders.
Under the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse us for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between our cumulative distributions paid to our stockholders in each quarter, less the sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts are not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) in each quarter.

Table of Contents
Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, we have a conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings under such agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which Franklin Square Holdings funded such amount, the sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by us to our stockholders; provided, however, that (i) we will only reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for expense support payments made by Franklin Square Holdings with respect to any calendar quarter beginning on or after July 1, 2013 to the extent that the payment of such reimbursement (together with any other reimbursement paid during such fiscal year) does not cause “other operating expenses” (as defined below) (on an annualized basis and net of any expense support payments received by us during such fiscal year) to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of our average net assets attributable to shares of our common stock for the fiscal year-to-date period after taking such payments into account and (B) the percentage of our average net assets attributable to shares of our common stock represented by “other operating expenses” during the fiscal year in which such expense support payment from Franklin Square Holdings was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) shall not apply to any reimbursement payment which relates to an expense support payment from Franklin Square Holdings made during the same fiscal year) and (ii) we will not reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for expense support payments made by Franklin Square Holdings if the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by us in such calendar quarter is less than the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by us in the calendar quarter in which Franklin Square Holdings made the expense support payment to which such reimbursement relates. “Other operating expenses” means our total “operating expenses” (as defined below), excluding base management fees, incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. “Operating expenses” means all operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with GAAP for investment companies.
We or Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. Upon termination of the expense reimbursement agreement by Franklin Square Holdings, Franklin Square Holdings will be required to fund any amounts accrued thereunder as of the date of termination. Similarly, our conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings pursuant to the terms of the expense reimbursement agreement shall survive the termination of such agreement by either party.
Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by our chairman and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, and our vice-chairman, David J. Adelman. There can be no assurance that the expense reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse any portion of our expenses in future quarters. As of March 31, 2014, there were no unreimbursed expense support payments subject to future reimbursement by us.

As of March 31, 2014, we did not “control” and were not an “affiliate” of any of our portfolio companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the 1940 Act, we would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if we owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an “affiliate” of a portfolio company if we owned 5% or more of its voting securities.
Our investment portfolio may contain loans that are in the form of lines of credit or revolving credit facilities, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. As of March 31, 2014, we had six such investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $90,641 and one equity/other investment, American Energy Ohio Holdings, LLC, with an unfunded commitment of $2,313. 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 | 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 amount of the portfolio in each grading category may vary substantially from period to period resulting primarily from changes in the composition of the portfolio as a result of new investment, repayment and exit activities. In addition, changes in the grade of investments may be made to reflect our expectation of performance and changes in investment values.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013
Revenues
We generated investment income of $114,796 and $110,044 for the three months ended March 31, 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 $104,283 and $98,525 of cash income earned as well as $10,513 and $11,519 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest for the three months ended March 31, 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 increase in investment income is due primarily to the increase in the number of directly originated transactions over the last year as part of the transition of the portfolio to higher yielding non-broadly syndicated assets.
Expenses
Our total operating expenses were $58,919 and $59,315 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our operating expenses include base management fees attributed to FB Advisor of $22,371 and $22,206 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our operating expenses also include administrative services expenses attributed to FB Advisor of $1,200 and $1,436 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
FB Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on performance. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we accrued subordinated incentive fees on income of $15,178 and $14,228, respectively, based upon the performance of our portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we accrued capital gains incentive fees of $4,836 and $6,350, respectively, based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $5,035 and $0, respectively, was based on realized gains and $(199) and $6,350, respectively, was based on unrealized gains. No such fee is actually payable by us with respect to unrealized gains unless and until those gains are actually realized. See “—Critical Accounting Policies—Capital Gains Incentive Fee.”
We recorded interest expense of $12,700 and $12,136 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, in connection with our credit facilities and the JPM Facility. Fees incurred with our fund administrator, which provides various accounting and administrative services to us, totaled $332 and $365 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We incurred fees and expenses with our stock transfer agent of $451 and $890 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Fees for our board of directors were $265 and $225 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Our other general and administrative expenses totaled $1,586 and $1,479 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and consisted of the following:

Table of Contents
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the ratio of our operating expenses to our average net assets was 2.20% and 2.34%, respectively. Our ratio of operating expenses to our average net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 includes $12,700 and $12,136, respectively, related to interest expense and $20,014, and $20,578, respectively, related to accruals for incentive fees. Without such expenses, our ratio of operating expenses to average net assets would have been 0.97% and 1.05% for the three months ended March 31, 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 lower ratio of operating expenses to average net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 can primarily be attributed to a reduction in administrative services expenses and stock transfer agent fees charged to us.
Net Investment Income
Our net investment income totaled $55,877 ($0.22 per share) and $50,729 ($0.20 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in net investment income on a per share basis can be attributed to, among other things, the transition of our portfolio to higher yielding non-broadly syndicated assets.
Net Realized Gains or Losses
We sold investments and received principal repayments of $306,983 and $259,132, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, from which we realized a net gain of $13,822. We also realized a net loss of $19 from settlements on foreign currency during the three months ended March 31, 2014. We sold investments and received principal repayments of $147,944 and $395,873, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, from which we realized a net gain of $14,171. We also realized a net loss of $63 from settlements on foreign currency during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $10,335 and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency totaled $45. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $17,518 and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency totaled $121. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily driven by strong performance of certain of our senior secured bonds and subordinated debt investments. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily driven by a general strengthening in the credit markets during the prior period and continued tightening of credit spreads in the first quarter of 2013.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $80,060 ($0.32 per share) compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $82,476 ($0.33 per share) during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
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.

Table of Contents
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we issued 2,854,659 and 2,638,800 shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan for gross proceeds of $29,257 and $26,476, respectively, at an average price per share of $10.25 and $10.03, respectively. In connection with the listing of our shares of common stock on the NYSE on April 16, 2014, we terminated our distribution reinvestment plan. Our board of directors has approved the implementation of a new distribution reinvestment plan, the terms of which have not yet been finalized. We expect the new distribution reinvestment plan to be implemented in connection with the regular monthly cash distribution in June; however, there can be no assurance as to whether or when a new distribution reinvestment plan will be implemented.
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 invested the net proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan and from sales and paydowns of existing investments primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, consistent with our BDC election and our election to be taxed as a RIC.
On April 16, 2014, we commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash up to $250,000 in value of shares of our common stock from our stockholders. In accordance with the terms of the tender offer, we intend to select 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 will enable us to purchase the maximum number of shares of common stock properly tendered in the tender offer and not properly withdrawn having an aggregate purchase price of up to $250,000 or such lesser number if less than $250,000 in value of our shares of common stock are properly tendered in the tender offer after giving effect to any shares of common stock properly withdrawn. We expect to use available cash and/or borrowings under the ING credit facility to fund any purchase of shares of common stock in the 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 three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

As of March 31, 2014, we had $297,685 in cash, which we held in a custodial account, and $60,200 in borrowings available under our financing facilities. On April 3, 2014, we entered into the ING credit facility which provides for borrowings of up to $300,000. For additional information regarding the ING credit facility, see Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Below is a summary of our outstanding financing facilities as of March 31, 2014:

RIC Status and Distributions
We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” as defined by the Code, each year. As long as the distributions are declared by the later of the fifteenth day of the ninth month following the close of the taxable year or the due date of the tax return, including extensions, distributions paid up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. We intend to make sufficient distributions to our stockholders to qualify for and maintain our RIC status each year. We are also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if we do not distribute at least 98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of any capital gain net income, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years on which we paid no federal income taxes.
Following commencement of our operations, we declared our first distribution on January 29, 2009. Subject to our board of directors’ discretion and applicable legal restrictions, we intend to authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions on a monthly basis and pay such distributions on either a monthly or quarterly basis. While we previously paid distributions on a quarterly basis, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2010, we began to pay distributions on a monthly rather than quarterly basis. We will calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the period using record and declaration dates and each stockholder’s distributions will begin to accrue on the date that shares of our common stock are issued to such stockholder. From time to time, we may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of our common stock at the discretion of our board of directors.
During certain periods, our distributions may exceed our earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital. 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 three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013 represented a return of capital.
We intend to continue to make our ordinary distributions in the form of cash out of assets legally available for distribution.

On March 31, 2014, our board of directors determined to increase the amount of the regular monthly cash distribution payable to stockholders of record from $0.0720 per share to $0.07425per share in order to increase our annual distribution rate from 8.41% to 8.68% (based on our last publicly reported net asset value per share of $10.27 as of February 28, 2014). The increase in the regular monthly cash distribution to $0.07425 per share commenced with the regular monthly cash distribution payable on April 30, 2014 to stockholders of record as of April 29, 2014. On May 5, 2014, our board of directors declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.07425 per share. The regular monthly cash distribution will be paid on or about May 30, 2014 to stockholders of record on May 29, 2014.
Our board of directors intends to declare two special cash distributions, each in the amount of $0.10 per share, that will be paid on or about August 15, 2014 and November 14, 2014 to stockholders of record as of July 31, 2014 and October 31, 2014, respectively. The payment of the two special cash distributions, like all future distributions, are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors.
Historically, we had an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for our stockholders, which terminated upon the listing of our shares of common stock on the NYSE. Under that plan, 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. Our board of directors has approved the implementation of a new distribution reinvestment plan, the terms of which have not yet been finalized. We expect the new distribution reinvestment plan to be implemented in connection with the regular monthly cash distribution in June; however, there can be no assurance as to whether or when a new distribution reinvestment plan will be implemented. Pending the adoption of a new distribution reinvestment plan, stockholders that had elected to participate in the earlier distribution reinvestment plan will receive cash rather than shares of common stock in respect of any cash distribution we declare.
We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds 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, dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions.

Our net investment income on a tax basis for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $51,851 and $57,068, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $151,267 and $137,867, 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 onForm 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 three months ended March 31, 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.
67
Table of Contents
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. 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.
68
Table of Contents
Our board of directors may also look to private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party investments in the portfolio companies or industry practices in determining fair value. Our board of directors may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses, as well as any other factors it deems relevant in assessing the value. Generally, the value of our equity interests in public companies for which market quotations are readily available is based upon the most recent closing public market price. Portfolio securities that carry certain restrictions on sale are typically valued at a discount from the public market value of the security.
When we receive warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional cost in connection with an investment in a debt security, our board of directors allocates the cost basis in the investment between the debt securities and any such warrants or other equity securities received at the time of origination. Our board of directors subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at fair value.
The fair values of our investments are determined in good faith by our board of directors. Our board of directors is solely responsible for the valuation of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to our valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process.
Our investments as of March 31, 2014 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. Thirty-one senior secured loan investments, one senior secured bond investment, 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. One senior secured loan investment and one equity investment, each of which wasnewly-issued and purchased near March 31, 2014, were valued at cost, as our board of directors determined that the cost of each such investment was the best indication of its fair value. Also, one equity investment which is traded on an active public market was valued at its closing price on March 31, 2014 and two equity/other investments were valued by an independent third-party pricing service in the manner described above.
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 against the actual prices at which we purchase and sell our investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of our management in purchasing and selling these investments, we believe that these prices

are reliable indicators of fair value. However, because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported), we believe that these valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. We may also use other methods to determine fair value for securities for which we cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through third-party pricing services or independent dealers, including the use of an independent valuation firm. We periodically benchmark the valuations provided by the independent valuation firm against the actual prices at which we purchase and sell our investments. Our valuation committee and board of directors reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with our valuation process.
Revenue Recognition
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. We record dividend income on the ex-dividend date. We do not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such income. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and we amortize such amounts as interest income over the respective term of the loan or security. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees and original issue discount are recorded as 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. 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 both the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the amended 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 the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the amended investment advisory agreement neither include nor 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 were 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 both the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the amended 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equaled 20.0% of “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 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 would not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 2.0%. Once our pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FB Advisor would be entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.5%, or 10.0% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FB Advisor would receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income. Under the amended investment advisory agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income is calculated in the same manner, except that the hurdle rate used to compute the subordinated incentive fee on income is based on the net asset value of our assets rather than adjusted capital.
Under the amended 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 2.0% hurdle, 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 quartersminus (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 quarterly hurdle rate and there will be no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the quarterly hurdle rate.
FB Advisor has recommended that the amended investment advisory agreement be further amended to 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%. Our board of directors has approved this amendment, and we plan to call a special meeting of our stockholders scheduled for June 23, 2014, at which stockholders will be asked to vote on the proposal to amend the amended investment advisory agreement to, among other things, so reduce the annualized 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 three months ended March 31, 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 amended investment advisory agreement are equal to (a) an annual base management fee of 2.0% of the average value of our gross assets and (b) an incentive fee based on our performance. FB Advisor, and to the extent it is required to provide such services, our sub-adviser, are reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on our behalf. In anticipation of the listing of our shares of common stock on the NYSE, FB Advisor recommended that the amended 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 is approved, reduce the base management fee from 2.0% to 1.75% of the average value of our gross assets. Our board of directors has approved this amendment, and we plan to call a special meeting of our stockholders scheduled for June 23, 2014, at which stockholders will be asked to vote on the proposal. Pending stockholder approval of this proposal, FB Advisor has agreed, effective April 1, 2014, to waive a portion of the base management fee to which it is entitled under the amended investment advisory agreement so that the fee received equals 1.75% of the average value of our gross assets. There can be no assurance that this waiver will continue in the future.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $22,371 and $22,206, respectively, in base management fees and $1,200 and $1,436, 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 March 31, 2014 and 2013, we accrued subordinated incentive fees on income of $15,178 and $14,228, respectively, based upon the performance of our portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we paid FB Advisor $14,303 in subordinated incentive fees on income. As of March 31, 2014, a subordinated incentive fee on income of $15,178 was payable to FB Advisor. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we accrued capital gains incentive fees of $4,836 and $6,350, respectively, 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 three months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, we had accrued $35,379 in capital gains incentive fees, of which only $5,035 was based on realized gains and was payable to FB Advisor.

Compensation of the Investment Adviser
Pursuant to both the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the amended investment advisory agreement, FB Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee of 2.0% of the average value of our gross assets and an incentive fee based on our performance. We commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement on January 2, 2009, upon commencement of our operations. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears.
The incentive fee, which had consisted of three parts under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, now consists of two parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate equal to 2.0% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 8.0%. Under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the hurdle rate used to compute the subordinated incentive fee on income was based on adjusted capital. Under the amended investment advisory agreement, the hurdle rate used to compute the subordinated incentive fee on income is based on the net asset value of our assets rather than adjusted capital. In addition, under the amended investment advisory agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income is subject to a total return requirement.
The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is accrued for on a quarterly basis and, if earned, is paid annually. We accrue the incentive fee based on net realized and unrealized gains; however, 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. See Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the amended investment advisory agreement.
In anticipation of the listing of our shares of common stock on the NYSE, FB Advisor recommended that the amended 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 is approved, reduce the base management fee from 2.0% to 1.75% of the average value of our gross assets. Our board of directors has approved this amendment, and we plan to call a special meeting of our stockholders scheduled for June 23, 2014, at which stockholders will be asked to vote on the proposal. Pending stockholder approval of this proposal, FB Advisor has agreed, effective April 1, 2014, to waive a portion of the base management fee to which it is entitled under the amended investment advisory agreement so that the fee received equals 1.75% of the average value of our gross assets. There can be no assurance that this waiver will continue in the future.
Pursuant to the 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
73
Table of Contents
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 we 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 will provide administrative services necessary for our operation, including general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations and other administrative services. There will be 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.

Item | 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2014, 71.3% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) paid variable interest rates, 22.9% paid fixed interest rates, 2.5% were income producing equity or other investments, and the remaining 3.3% consisted of non-income producing equity or other investments. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments we hold and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we hold. To the extent that a substantial portion of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates would make it easier for us to meet or exceed 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 Arch Street credit facility, the Broad Street credit facility and the Walnut Street credit facility, Arch Street, Broad Street and Walnut Street, respectively, borrow at a floating rate based on LIBOR. Under the terms of the JPM Facility, Race Street pays interest to JPM at a fixed rate. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries enter into are based on a floating interest rate, we will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we or our subsidiaries have such debt outstanding, our interest expense would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.
The following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on our interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in our investment portfolio and borrowing arrangements in effect as of March 31, 2014 (dollar amounts are presented in thousands):

We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 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.”
Item | 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 March 31, 2014.
