(a)

Security may be an obligation of one or more entities affiliated with the named company.

(b)

Certain variable rate securities in the Company’s portfolio bear interest at a rate determined by a publicly disclosed base rate plus a basis point spread. As of September 30, 2019, the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR or “L”, was 2.09%, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, or EURIBOR, or “E”, was (0.42)% and the Australian Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate, or BBSY, or “B”, was 0.95%. PIK means paid-in-kind. Variable rate securities with no floor rate use the respective benchmark rate in all cases.

(c)

Denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

(d)

Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see Note 8).

(e)

Security is an unfunded commitment. The stated rate reflects the spread disclosed at the time of commitment and may not indicate the actual rate received upon funding.

(f)

Security or portion thereof held within Broomall Funding LLC and is pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under the prime brokerage facility with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc., or BNP. Securities held within Broomall Funding LLC may be rehypothecated from time to time as permitted under Rule 15c-1(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, subject to the terms and conditions governing the prime brokerage facility with BNP (see Note 9).

(g)

The investment is not a qualifying asset under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets. As of September 30, 2019, 84.0% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets. In addition, as described in Note 9, the Company also calculates its compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by disregarding the value of the Company’s total return swap and treating each loan underlying the total return swap as either a qualifying asset or non-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 83.1% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets as of September 30, 2019.

(h)

Position or portion thereof unsettled as of September 30, 2019.

(i)

Security was on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2019.

(j)

Security is non-income producing.

(k)

Security held within FSIC IV Investments, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

(l)

Security is classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in the Company’s fair value hierarchy (see Note 8).

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

FS Investment Corporation IV, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on February 25, 2015 and formally commenced investment operations on January 6, 2016. In November 2017, the Company closed its continuous public offering of Class T common stock to new investors. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that 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. In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for U.S. 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 September 30, 2019, the Company had various wholly-owned subsidiaries, including special-purpose financing subsidiaries and subsidiaries through which it holds interests in portfolio companies. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2019. 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. The Company’s 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. In addition, a portion of the Company’s portfolio may be comprised of equity and equity-related securities, corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps.

The Company is externally managed by FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, or the Advisor, pursuant to an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018, or the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. On April 9, 2018, GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, or GDFM, resigned as the investment sub-adviser to the Company and terminated the investment sub-advisory agreement, or the investment sub-advisory agreement, between FSIC IV Advisor, LLC, or FSIC IV Advisor, and GDFM, effective April 9, 2018. In connection with GDFM’s resignation as the investment sub-adviser to the Company, on April 9, 2018, the Company entered into the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which replaced an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated September 21, 2015, or the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, by and between the Company and FSIC IV Advisor.

On May 31, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with Corporate Capital Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust, or CCT II, FS Investment Corporation II, a Maryland corporation, or FSIC II, FS Investment Corporation III, a Maryland corporation, or FSIC III and, collectively with the Company, FSIC II and CCT II, the Funds, NT Acquisition 1, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, or Merger Sub 1, NT Acquisition 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, or Merger Sub 2, NT Acquisition 3, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, or Merger Sub 3, and the Advisor. The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into FSIC III, with FSIC III continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, or Merger 1A, and, immediately thereafter, FSIC III will merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company or, together with Merger 1A, Merger 1, (ii) Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into CCT II, with CCT II continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, or Merger 2A, and, immediately thereafter, CCT II will merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company or, together with Merger 2A, Merger 2, and (iii) Merger Sub 3 will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, or Merger 3A, and, immediately thereafter, the Company will merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company or, together with the Merger 3A, Merger 3 and, collectively with Merger 1 and Merger 2, the Mergers. See Note 12 for additional information.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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, 2018 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The December 31, 2018 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, 2018. The Company is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies.

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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services 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 the investment advisory and administrative services agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any capital gain incentive fees previously paid by the Company. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fees as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period. The Company includes 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 the Advisor if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though the Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.

The Company “looks through” its total return swap, or TRS, between its wholly-owned financing subsidiary Cheltenham Funding LLC, or Cheltenham Funding, and Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, in calculating the capital gains incentive fee. Under this methodology, the portion of the net settlement payments received by the Company pursuant to the TRS which would have represented net investment income to the Company had the Company held the loans underlying the TRS directly is treated as net investment income subject to the subordinated incentive fee on income payable to the Advisor pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, rather than as realized capital gains in accordance with GAAP, and any unrealized depreciation on individual loans underlying the TRS further reduces the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Advisor with respect to realized gains. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company’s TRS.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Subordinated Income Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the 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 is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of the Company’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital equal to 1.75% per quarter (1.875% under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0% (7.5% under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). For purposes of this fee, “adjusted capital” means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of the Company’s common stock (including proceeds from its distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program. As a result, the Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.75% (1.875% under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). Once the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, the 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 2.1875%, or 8.75% annually (2.34375%, or 9.375% annually under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), of the Company’s adjusted capital. Thereafter, the Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 may have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Company records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that it expects to collect such amounts. The Company records dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if it has reason to doubt its ability to collect such income. The Company’s policy is to place investments on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that interest income will be collected. The Company considers many factors relevant to an investment when placing it on or removing it from non-accrual status including, but not limited to, the delinquency status of the investment, economic and business conditions, the overall financial condition of the underlying investment, the value of the underlying collateral, bankruptcy status, if any, and any other facts or circumstances relevant to the investment. If there is reasonable doubt that the Company will receive any previously accrued interest, then the interest income will be written-off. Payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the collectability of the remaining principal and interest. Non-accrual investments may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are likely to remain current based on the Company’s judgment.

Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and the Company amortizes 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. Structuring and other non-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $1,118 in structuring fee revenue. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.

Derivative Instruments: The Company’s derivative instruments include foreign currency forward contracts. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, the Company presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, or ASU 2018-13. ASU 2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 on its financial statements.

During the period from October 1, 2019 to November 8, 2019, the Company issued 87,759 shares of Class T common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan, or DRP, for gross proceeds of $939,021 at an average price per share of $10.70. For additional information regarding the terms of the DRP, see Note 5.

Share Repurchase Program

Historically, the Company has conducted quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company’s board of directors considers the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares of common stock and under what terms:

•

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

•

the liquidity of the Company’s assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);

•

the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements;

Note 3. Share Transactions (continued)

•

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

•

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

•

the condition of the securities markets.

Historically, the Company limited the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased during any calendar year to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of common stock that the Company could repurchase with the proceeds it received from the issuance of shares of common stock under the DRP and (ii) 10.0% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. On May 9, 2017, the board of directors of the Company amended the share repurchase program. As amended, the Company limits the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer to the greater of (A) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it has received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the twelve-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (less the amount of proceeds used to repurchase shares of common stock on each previous repurchase date for repurchase offers conducted during such twelve-month period) (the Company refers to this limitation as the twelve-month repurchase limitation) and (B) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the three-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (the Company refers to this limitation as the three-month repurchase limitation). In addition to this limitation, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will also be limited to 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. As a result, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter, and (ii) whichever is greater of the twelve-month repurchase limitation described in clause (A) above and the three-month repurchase limitation described in clause (B) above. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares of common stock. The actual number of shares of common stock that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ notice.

On October 13, 2017, the Company further amended the terms of its share repurchase program, or the amended share repurchase program, which was first effective for the Company’s quarterly repurchase offer for the fourth quarter of 2017. Prior to amending the share repurchase program, the Company offered to repurchase shares of its common stock on a quarterly basis at a repurchase price equal to the net offering price in effect on each date of repurchase. Under the amended share repurchase program, the Company offers to repurchase shares of common stock at a price equal to the price at which shares of its common stock are issued pursuant to the DRP on the distribution date coinciding with the applicable share repurchase date. The price at which shares of common stock are issued under the DRP is determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and will be (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment date of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share as of such date.

In conjunction with the announced Merger Agreement, the Company’s board of directors suspended the Company’s share repurchase program.

Compensation of the Investment Advisor

Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor is entitled to a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly value of the Company’s gross assets (gross assets equal the total assets of the Company as set forth on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets) and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter will be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Advisor determines. See Note 2 for a discussion of the capital gains and subordinated income incentive fees that the Advisor may be entitled to under the Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement.

Pursuant to the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was in effect until April 9, 2018, FSIC IV Advisor was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of the average weekly value of the Company’s gross assets (gross assets equal the total assets of the Company as set forth on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets) and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. Effective February 1, 2017, FSIC IV Advisor contractually agreed to permanently waive 0.25% of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the Company’s average weekly gross assets. Pursuant to the investment sub-advisory agreement, GDFM was entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FSIC IV Advisor under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement with respect to each year.

Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor oversees the Company’s day-to-day operations, including the provision of general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations, certain government and regulatory affairs activities and other

administrative services. The Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company’s corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports for the Company’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists the Company in calculating its net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to the Company’s stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others.

Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Company reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to its administration and operations, including the Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of Franklin Square Holdings, L.P. (which does business as FS Investments) and KKR Credit Advisors (US), LLC, or KKR Credit, providing administrative services to the Company on behalf of the Advisor. The Company reimburses the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The Advisor allocates 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 reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to the Company and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among the Company and certain affiliates of the Advisor. The Company’s board of directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to it 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 service providers known to be available. In addition, the Company’s board of directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Company’s board of directors compares the total amount paid to the Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. The administrative services provisions of the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement were substantially similar to the administrative services provisions of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.

Shares of Class T common stock are subject to annual distribution fees of 1.00% of the estimated value of such shares, as determined in accordance with applicable rules of The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA. The annual distribution fees are paid by the Company to FS Investment Solutions, LLC, or FS Investment Solutions or the dealer manager, pursuant to a distribution plan adopted by the Company in compliance with Rules 12b-1 and 17d-3 under the 1940 Act, as if those rules applied to the Company. Among other requirements, such plan must be approved annually by a vote of the Company’s board of directors, including the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of such plan or in any agreements related to such plan.

Except for Class T shares purchased by the principal of the Advisor, members of the Company’s board of directors and other individuals and entities affiliated with the Advisor, or through investment advisors whose contracts for investment advisory and related services include a fixed or “wrap” fee or other asset-based fee arrangement, annual distribution fees are expected to be reallowed to selected broker-dealers and financial representatives, unless noted in the table below. The annual distribution fees are intended to compensate the dealer manager and its affiliates, selected broker-dealers and financial representatives for services rendered and expenses incurred in connection with the ongoing marketing, sale and distribution of such shares.

The annual distribution fees accrue daily commencing upon the initial sale of shares of common stock in the Company’s continuous public offering until an investor reaches the sales charge cap, as defined below. The accruals as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 reflect amounts beginning with the initial sale of shares of common stock in the Company’s continuous public offering through September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The annual distribution fees are payable with respect to all shares of Class T common stock, other than shares issued under the DRP. The annual distribution fees will terminate for all Class T stockholders upon a liquidity event. In addition, the Company will stop paying the annual distribution fees with respect to any outstanding Class T share when the total underwriting compensation from the upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and annual distribution fees attributable to any share equals 7.25% of gross offering proceeds, or the sales charge cap. The sales charge cap applicable to certain shares, including shares sold prior to January 25, 2017, will be reduced by the amount of any upfront sales load that is waived for such shares or to otherwise account for any lower upfront sales load paid by an investor with respect to such shares.

The annual distribution fees for all Class T shares currently will terminate upon the earliest of (i) any Class T share purchased after January 25, 2017 reaching the applicable sales charge cap, (ii) the Company’s dealer manager advising the Company that the aggregate underwriting compensation payable from all sources (determined in accordance with applicable FINRA rules) would be in excess of 10% of the gross proceeds of this offering and (iii) a liquidity event.

The following table describes the fees and expenses the Company accrued under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and fees that FS Investment Solutions received pursuant to the Company’s distribution plan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

FSIC IV Advisor contractually agreed, effective February 1, 2017, to permanently waive 0.25% of its base management fee to which it is entitled under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s weekly gross assets. Under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the base management fee is equal to 1.50% of the average value of the Company’s weekly gross assets and the Advisor is not waiving any portion of such fee. As a result, the amounts shown for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are net of waivers of $0 and $253, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, $4,158 and $4,636, respectively, in base management fees were paid to the Advisor and/or FSIC IV Advisor. As of September 30, 2019, $1,497 in base management fees were payable to the Advisor.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, $3,244 and $372, respectively, of subordinated incentive fees on income were paid to the Advisor. As of September 30, 2019, a subordinated incentive fee on income of $848 was payable to the Advisor.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company did not accrue capital gains incentive fees based on the performance of its portfolio. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reversed $764 of capital gains incentive fees previously accrued based on the performance of its portfolio. As of September 30, 2019, the Company did not accrue any capital gains incentive fees. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had reversed $1,742 in capital gains incentive fees previously accrued based on the performance of its portfolio. No capital gains incentive fees are actually payable by the Company with respect to unrealized gains unless and until those gains are actually realized. The Company did not pay capital gains incentive fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. See Note 2 for a discussion of the methodology employed by the Company in calculating the capital gains incentive fees.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, $241 and $195, respectively, of the accrued administrative services expenses related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services rendered to the Company by the Advisor or FSIC IV Advisor and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses, including reimbursement of fees related to transactional expenses for prospective investments, such as fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of investments that do not close, often referred to as “broken deal” costs. Broken deal costs were $30 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company paid $277 and $310 in administrative services expenses to the Advisor and FSIC IV Advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Advisor is the investment adviser to FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III and Corporate Capital Trust II, and the officers, managers and other personnel of the Advisor may serve in similar or other capacities for the investment advisers to future investment vehicles affiliated with FS Investments or KKR Credit. In serving in these multiple and other capacities, they may have obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in the Company’s best interests or in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles.

Co-Investment Exemptive Relief

As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted to co-invest with certain affiliated entities in transactions originated by the BDC or its affiliates in the absence of an exemptive order from the SEC. However, BDCs are permitted to, and may, simultaneously co-invest in transactions where price is the only negotiated term.

In an order dated June 4, 2013, or the FS Order, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of FSIC IV Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV and any future BDCs that are advised by FSIC IV Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. However, in connection with the investment advisory relationship with the Advisor, and in an effort to mitigate potential future conflicts of interest, the Company’s board of directors authorized and directed that the Company (i) withdraw from the FS Order, except with respect to any transaction in which the Company participated in reliance on the FS Order prior to April 9, 2018, and (ii) rely on an exemptive

relief order, dated April 3, 2018, that permits the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Advisor or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of the Advisor.

Distribution amounts and per share amounts shown are net of annual distribution fees, which began accruing on February 1, 2017. See Note 4 for a discussion regarding annual distribution fees.

The Company intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. On October 11, 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared a regular monthly cash distribution for October 2019 in the gross amount of $0.067258 per share. The gross amount declared includes the portion of the annual distribution fee amount, which is an expense of the Company and not paid to stockholders. These distributions, less the annual distribution fee amount, have been or will be paid monthly to stockholders of record as of monthly record dates previously determined by the Company’s board of directors. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors.

The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its stockholders will receive the distribution in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the DRP so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. However, certain state authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a stockholder’s ability to participate in the DRP.

On October 13, 2017, the Company amended and restated its DRP, or the amended DRP, which first applied to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after November 29, 2017. Under the prior DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders were reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to the net offering price in effect on the date of issuance. Under the amended DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders will be reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as of such date. Although distributions paid in

Note 5. Distributions (continued)

the form of additional shares of common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders who elect to participate in the DRP will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. Stockholders receiving distributions in the form of additional shares of common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the Company’s shares of common stock.

The Company has suspended the DRP with respect to any distributions with a record date between December 1, 2019 and the closing of the Mergers.

The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock pursuant to its DRP, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and dividends or other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. During certain periods, the Company’s distributions may exceed its earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions the Company makes may represent a return of capital. A return of capital generally is a return of a stockholder’s investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gains on the sale of securities, and/or a return of capital, 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. No portion of the distribution paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was funded through the reimbursement of operating expenses by FS Investments or the Advisor.

The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions paid to stockholders on a tax basis that the Company has paid on its common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 92.1% and 93.8%, respectively, of the Company’s gross investment income was attributable to cash income earned, 1.6% and 1.6%, respectively, was attributable to non-cash accretion of discount and 6.3% and 4.6%, respectively, was attributable to paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest.

The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $17,272 and $14,509, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $7,579 and $5,641, respectively, of undistributed net investment income and and $(5,499) and $1,405, respectively, of accumulated undistributed net realized gains (losses) on a tax basis.

Note 5. Distributions (continued)

The difference between the Company’s GAAP-basis net investment income (loss) and its tax-basis net investment income is primarily due to the reclassification of unamortized original issue discount, certain amendment fees and prepayment fees recognized upon prepayment of loans from income for GAAP purposes to realized gains for tax purposes, 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 inclusion of a portion of the periodic net settlement payments due on its TRS in tax-basis net investment income.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation between GAAP-basis net investment income (loss) and tax-basis net investment income during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018

Reversal of incentive fee accrual on unrealized gains			—			(764)

Accretion of discount on total return swap			829			520
Other miscellaneous differences			(106)			393
Tax-basis net investment income		$	17,272		$	14,509

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

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	September 30, 2019 (Unaudited)			December 31, 2018
Distributable ordinary income (net investment income and short-term capital gains)		$	7,579		$	5,641

Offsetting of Derivative Instruments

The Company has derivative instruments that are subject to master netting agreements. These agreements include provisions to offset positions with the same counterparty in the event of default by one of the parties. The Company’s unrealized appreciation and depreciation on derivative instruments are reported as gross assets and liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities related to derivatives by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting arrangement and net of any collateral received or pledged by the Company for such assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2019:

Net amount of derivative liabilities represents the net amount due from the Company to the counterparty.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies and to economically hedge the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. These contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract forward exchange rate and the forward market exchange rate on the last day of the period presented as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized when forward contracts are settled. Risks arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by only dealing with well-known counterparties.

The foreign currency forward contracts open at the end of the period are generally indicative of the volume of activity during the period.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s open foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:

Foreign Currency	Settlement Date		Counterparty	Amount and Transaction			US$ Value at Settlement Date			US$ Value at September 30, 2019			Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

Note 8. 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 valuation techniques that 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

The Company classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy as defined by current accounting guidance:

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

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

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

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s investments and total return swap were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:

Valuation Inputs	September 30, 2019 (Unaudited)						December 31, 2018
Valuation Inputs	Investments			Total Return Swap			Investments			Total Return Swap
Level 1—Price quotations in active markets		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—
Level 2—Significant other observable inputs			99,260			—			115,687			—
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs			224,387			(4,775)			173,154			(4,689)
Total		$	323,647		$	(4,775)		$	288,841		$	(4,689)

In addition, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, as described in Note 7, which were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2019. There were no foreign currency forward contracts held as of December 31, 2018.

The Company’s investments consist primarily of debt investments that were either acquired directly from the issuer or traded on an over-the-counter market for institutional investors. Debt investments, for which broker quotes are not available are valued by independent valuation firms, which determine 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, anticipated repayments and other relevant terms of the investments. Except as described below, all of the Company’s equity/other investments are also valued by independent valuation firms, which determine 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. An investment that is newly issued and purchased near the date of the financial statements is valued at cost, if the Company’s board of directors determines that the cost of such investment is the best indication of its fair value. Such investments described above are typically classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments that are traded on an active public market are valued at their closing price as of the date of the financial statements and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Except as described above, the Company typically values its other investments by using the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which are provided by independent third-party pricing services and screened for validity by such services and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company values the TRS in accordance with the agreements between Cheltenham Funding and Citibank that collectively established the TRS, which agreements are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest

Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company for review and testing. The valuation committee of the Company’s board of directors, or the valuation committee, and the board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis. To the extent the valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation is discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the TRS.

The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers and independent valuation firms, as applicable, against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of the Company’s management in purchasing and selling these investments, the Company believes that these prices are reliable indicators of fair value. The valuation committee and the board of directors reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation policy.

The following is a reconciliation for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

As of June 30, 2018, the Company determined to classify certain investments whose valuations were obtained from independent third-party pricing services as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as the Company identified significant other observable inputs in these market quotations. It is the Company’s policy to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.

Investments using a market quotes valuation technique were valued by using the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which were provided by independent third-party pricing services and screened for validity by such services, with the exception of investments in the Total Return Swap, which were valued by using the bid price from dealers on the date of the relevant period end. Investments valued using an EBITDA multiple or a revenue multiple pursuant to the market comparables valuation technique may be conducted using an enterprise valuation waterfall analysis. For investments utilizing a market comparables valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the market yield, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, and a significant increase (decrease) in any of the valuation multiples, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. For investments utilizing an option valuation model valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the volatility, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after December 19, 2019, unless certain specified events permit Citibank to terminate the TRS on an earlier date. Cheltenham Funding may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing no more than 30 days, and no less than 10 days, prior notice to Citibank, subject to an early termination fee if prior to the date 30 days before December 19, 2019.			$(4,775)

(1)

Per share data may be rounded in order to recompute the ending net asset value per share.

(2)

The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the applicable period.

(3)

The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions paid per share during the applicable period.

(4)

The issuance of common stock on a per share basis reflects the incremental net asset value changes as a result of the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the DRP. The issuance of common stock at an offering price, net of selling commissions, that is greater than the net asset value per share results in an increase in net asset value per share.

(5)

The per share impact of the Company’s repurchases of common stock is a reduction to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during each period.

(6)

The total return for each period presented was calculated based on the change in net asset value during the applicable period, including the impact of distributions reinvested in accordance with the DRP. The total return (without assuming reinvestment of distributions) for each period presented was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of the end of the applicable period, adding the cash distributions per share which were declared during the applicable period and dividing the total by the net

Note 11. Financial Highlights (continued)

asset value per share at the beginning of the applicable period. The total returns do not consider the effect of any selling commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock. The total returns include the effect of the issuance of shares at a net offering price that is greater than net asset value per share, which causes an increase in net asset value per share. The historical calculations of total returns in the table should not be considered representations of the Company’s future total returns, which may be greater or less than the returns shown in the table due to a number of factors, including the Company’s ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet its investment criteria, the interest rates payable on the debt securities the Company acquires, the level of the Company’s expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Company encounters competition in its markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any previous period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods. The total return calculations set forth above represent the total returns on the Company’s investment portfolio during the applicable period and do not represent actual returns to stockholders.

(7)

Weighted average net assets during the applicable period are used for this calculation. Ratios for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are annualized, with the exception of capital gains incentive fees. Annualized ratios for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the ratios that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The following is a schedule of supplemental ratios for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018:

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 (Unaudited)		Year Ended December 31, 2018
Ratio of subordinated income incentive fees to average net assets		1.26%		0.43%
Ratio of accrued capital gains incentive fees to average net assets		—		(0.50)%
Ratio of interest expense to average net assets		0.44%		0.24%
Ratio of excise taxes to average net assets		—		0.10%

(8)

Portfolio turnover for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is not annualized.

(9)

Asset coverage per unit is the ratio of the carrying value of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness.

Note 12. Fund Mergers

On May 31, 2019, the Funds entered into the Merger Agreement with Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Merger Sub 3 and the Advisor. The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into FSIC III, with FSIC III continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, and, immediately thereafter, FSIC III will merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company, (ii) Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into CCT II, with CCT II continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, and, immediately thereafter, CCT II will merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company and (iii) Merger Sub 3 will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, and, immediately thereafter, the Company will merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company. The parties to the Merger Agreement intend the Mergers to be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

In the Mergers, each share of FSIC III common stock, CCT II common stock and the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of Merger 1A, Merger 2A and Merger 3A, respectively, will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of FSIC II common stock equal to an exchange ratio with respect to the applicable Merger, to be determined in connection with the closing of such Merger, or each, the applicable Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio for each of Merger 1A, Merger 2A and Merger 3A will equal the net asset value per share of FSIC III common stock, CCT II common stock and the Company’s common stock, respectively (determined, in each case, no earlier than 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the closing date of the applicable Merger), divided by the net asset value per share of FSIC II common stock (determined, in each case, no earlier than 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the closing date of the applicable Merger).

Note 12. Fund Mergers (continued)

Consummation of the Mergers, which is currently anticipated to occur during the fourth quarter of 2019, is subject to certain closing conditions, including (1) requisite approvals of the applicable Funds’ stockholders, (2) certain required charter amendments for each of the Funds, (3) the absence of certain legal impediments to the consummation of the Mergers, (4) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form N-14, which includes a joint proxy statement of the Funds and a prospectus of FSIC II, and (5) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance with the covenants of each party to the Merger Agreement. Merger 1A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC III) is a condition precedent to each of the Mergers. Therefore, Merger 3A (including a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and the Company) will not occur unless Merger 1A also occurs. No other Merger is a condition precedent to any other Merger.

The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights in favor of each Fund including if the Mergers are not completed on or before May 31, 2020 or if the requisite approvals of the applicable Fund’s stockholders are not obtained.

On November 6, 2019, each of the Funds held its annual stockholder meeting at which stockholders voted on the applicable Mergers, the Recapitalization Transactions and certain other proposals. The stockholders of each of the Funds approved the applicable Mergers and the Recapitalization Transaction, but each of the Company, FSIC II and FSIC III adjourned its respective annual stockholder meeting until November 22, 2019 with respect to certain other proposals, including proposals necessary to consummate the Mergers and the Recapitalization Transaction. The stockholders of CCT II approved all proposals necessary to consummate the Mergers and the Recapitalization Transaction.

Overview

We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on February 25, 2015 and formally commenced investment operations on January 6, 2016. We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Prior to satisfying the minimum offering requirement, we had no operations except for matters relating to our organization. In November 2017, we closed our continuous public offering of shares of common stock to new investors.

We are externally managed by the Advisor pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent. On April 9, 2018, GDFM resigned as our investment sub-adviser and terminated its investment sub-advisory agreement effective April 9, 2018. In connection with GDFM’s resignation as our investment sub-adviser, on April 9, 2018, we entered into the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with the Advisor, which replaced an investment advisory and administrative services agreement with our former investment adviser, FSIC IV Advisor.

Our investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We pursue our investment objective by investing primarily in the debt of middle market U.S. companies with a focus on originated transactions sourced through the network of the Advisor and its affiliates. We define direct originations as any investment where the Advisor or its affiliates negotiates the terms of the transaction beyond just the price, which, for example, may include negotiating financial covenants, maturity dates or interest rate terms. These directly originated transactions include participation in other originated transactions where there may be third parties involved, or a bank acting as an intermediary, for a closely held club, or similar transactions.

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 or make other debt investments, including investments in other senior secured debt, through secondary market transactions in the “over-the-counter” market or directly from our target companies as primary market or directly originated investments. In connection with our debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also purchase or otherwise acquire interests in the form of common or preferred equity or equity-related securities, such as rights and warrants that may be converted into or exchanged for common stock or other equity or the cash value of common stock or other equity, in our target companies, generally in conjunction with one of our debt investments, including through the restructuring of such 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, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps. The Advisor will seek

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to tailor our investment focus as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, we may increase or decrease our exposure to less senior portions of the capital structure or otherwise make opportunistic investments, such as where the market price of loans, bonds or other securities reflects a lower valuation than deemed warranted by the Advisor’s fundamental analysis, which may occur due to 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 and may include event driven investments, anchor orders and structured products.

The senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and other senior secured debt in which we invest generally have stated terms of three to seven years and subordinated debt investments that we make generally 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. Our debt investments may be rated by a NRSRO and, in such case, generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s or lower than “BBB-” by S&P). We also invest in non-rated debt securities.

Revenues

The principal measure of our financial performance is net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income, net realized gain or loss on investments, net realized gain or loss on total return swap, net realized gain or loss on foreign currency, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on total return swap and net unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency.

Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating and other expenses. Net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost, including the respective realized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investment transactions. Net realized gain or loss on total return swap is the net monthly settlement payments received on the TRS. Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency is the portion of realized gain or loss attributable to foreign currency fluctuations. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio, including the respective unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investments. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on total return swap is the net change in the fair value of the TRS. 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 non-recurring commitment, closing, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees, prepayment fees and performance-based fees. We may also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity/other securities we hold.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of management and incentive fees and other expenses under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, interest expense from financing arrangements and other indebtedness, and other expenses necessary for our operations. The management and incentive fees compensate the Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments.

The Advisor oversees our day-to-day operations, including the provision of general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations, certain government and regulatory affairs activities, and other administrative services. The 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, the 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, we reimburse the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations, including the Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments and KKR Credit providing administrative services to us on behalf of the Advisor. We reimburse the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that we estimate we would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The Advisor allocates 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 reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to us and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among us and certain affiliates of the Advisor. Our board of directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to us 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 service providers known to be available. In addition, our board of directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, our board of directors compares the total amount paid to the Advisor for such services as a percentage of our net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.

We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions, including all other expenses incurred by the Advisor in performing services for us and administrative personnel paid by FS Investments and KKR Credit.

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

For additional information regarding our base management fee deferral arrangement with the Advisor, see Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.

Pending Merger with FSIC II

On May 31, 2019, the Funds, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Merger Sub 3 and the Advisor entered into the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into FSIC III, with FSIC III continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, and, immediately thereafter, FSIC III will merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company, (ii) Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into CCT II, with CCT II continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, and, immediately thereafter, CCT II will merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company and (iii) Merger Sub 3 will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, and, immediately thereafter, the Company will merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company. See Note 11 for additional information. The parties to the Merger Agreement intend the Mergers to be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

In the Mergers, each share of FSIC III common stock, CCT II common stock and the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of Merger 1A, Merger 2A and Merger 3A, respectively, will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of FSIC II common stock equal to the applicable Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio for each of Merger 1A, Merger 2A and Merger 3A will equal the net asset value per share of FSIC III common stock, CCT II common stock and the Company’s common stock, respectively (determined, in each case, no earlier than 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the closing date of the applicable Merger), divided by the net asset value per share of FSIC II common stock (determined, in each case, no earlier than 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the closing date of the applicable Merger).

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to the operation of each of the Funds’ and the Advisor’s businesses during the period

TABLE OF CONTENTS

prior to the closing of the Mergers. The Funds have agreed to convene and hold meetings of their respective stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the required approvals of the Funds’ stockholders, respectively, and have agreed to recommend that their stockholders approve their respective proposals.

The Merger Agreement provides that the board of directors or trustees of each Fund may not solicit proposals relating to alternative transactions, or, subject to certain exceptions, enter into discussions or negotiations or provide information in connection with any proposal for an alternative transaction. However, each of the Funds may, subject to certain conditions, change its recommendation to its respective stockholders, terminate the Merger Agreement and enter into an agreement with respect to a superior alternative proposal if the board of directors or trustees of such Fund determines in its reasonable good faith judgment, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to breach its standard of conduct under applicable law (taking into account any changes to the Merger Agreement proposed by the other Funds).

Consummation of the Mergers, which is currently anticipated to occur during the fourth quarter of 2019, is subject to certain closing conditions, including (1) requisite approvals of the Funds’ stockholders, (2) certain required charter amendments for each of the Funds, (3) the absence of certain legal impediments to the consummation of the Mergers, (4) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form N-14, which includes a joint proxy statement of FSIC II, FSIC III, the Company and CCT II, and a prospectus of FSIC II, and (5) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance with the covenants of each party to the Merger Agreement. Merger 1A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC III) is a condition precedent to each of the Mergers. Therefore, Merger 3A (including a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and the Company) will not occur unless Merger 1A also occurs. No other Merger is a condition precedent to any other Merger.

“Debt Investments” means investments that pay or are expected to pay a stated interest rate, stated dividend rate or other similar stated return.

(2)

Does not include investments on non-accrual status.

(3)

“Other Income Producing Investments” means investments that pay or are expected to pay interest, dividends or other income to the Company on an ongoing basis but do not have a stated interest rate, stated dividend rate or other similar stated return.

(4)

The Weighted Average Annual Yield on Accruing Debt Investments is computed as (i) the sum of (a) the stated annual interest rate, dividend rate or other similar stated return of each accruing Debt Investment, multiplied by its par amount, adjusted to U.S. dollars and for any partial income accrual when necessary, as of the end of the applicable reporting period, plus (b) the annual amortization of the purchase or original issue discount or premium of each accruing Debt Investment; divided by (ii) the total amortized cost of Debt Investments included in the calculated group as of the end of the applicable reporting period.

(5)

The Weighted Average Annual Yield on All Debt Investments is computed as (i) the sum of (a) the stated annual interest rate, dividend rate or other similar stated return of each Debt Investment, multiplied by its par amount, adjusted to U.S. dollars and for any partial income accrual when necessary, as of the end of the applicable reporting period, plus (b) the annual amortization of the purchase or original issue discount or premium of each Debt Investment; divided by (ii) the total amortized cost of Debt Investments included in the calculated group as of the end of the applicable reporting period.

Based on our regular monthly gross cash distribution amount of $0.067258 per share as of September 30, 2019 and our distribution reinvestment price of $10.80 as of such date, the gross annualized distribution rate was 7.47% as of September 30, 2019. The gross annualized distribution rate includes annual distribution fees, as determined in accordance with applicable FINRA rules. The net annualized distribution rate to stockholders, which excludes annual distribution fees, was 6.62% as of September 30, 2019 based on our distribution reinvestment price of $10.80. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our total return was 5.30% and our total return without assuming reinvestment of distributions was 5.33%.

Based on our regular monthly gross cash distribution amount of $0.067258 per share as of December 31, 2018 and our distribution reinvestment price of $10.75 as of such date, the gross annualized distribution rate was 7.51% as of December 31, 2018. The gross annualized distribution rate includes annual distribution fees, as determined in accordance with applicable FINRA rules. The net annualized distribution rate to stockholders, which excludes annual distribution fees, was 6.60% as of December 31, 2018 based on our distribution reinvestment price of $10.75. During the year ended December 31, 2018, our total return was 0.60% and our total return without assuming reinvestment of distributions was 0.81%.

Our weighted average annual yield on accruing debt investments may be higher than a stockholder’s yield on an investment in shares of our common stock. Our weighted average annual yield on accruing debt investments does not reflect operating expenses that may be incurred by us, nor does it include all of our investments. In addition, our weighted average annual yield on accruing debt investments and total return figures disclosed above do not consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may have been

incurred in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock. Our weighted average annual yield on accruing debt investments, total return and annualized distribution rate to stockholders do not represent actual investment returns to stockholders, are subject to change and, in the future, may be greater or less than the rates set forth above. See the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and our other periodic reports filed with the SEC for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

Portfolio Composition by Industry Classification

See Note 6 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding the composition of our investment portfolio by industry classification.

Portfolio Asset Quality

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, the Advisor uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. The Advisor uses an investment rating scale of 1 to 4. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:

Investment Rating			Summary Description
1			Performing investment—generally executing in accordance with plan and there are no concerns about the portfolio company’s performance or ability to meet covenant requirements.
2			Performing investment—no concern about repayment of both interest and our cost basis but company’s recent performance or trends in the industry require closer monitoring.
3			Underperforming investment—some loss of interest or dividend possible, but still expecting a positive return on investment.
4			Underperforming investment—concerns about the recoverability of principal or interest.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 4 investment rating scale at fair value as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	September 30, 2019					December 31, 2018
Investment Rating	Fair Value			Percentage of Portfolio		Fair Value			Percentage of Portfolio
1		$	213,292		66%		$	162,944		56%
2			90,506		28%			105,896		37%
3			11,178		3%			16,758		6%
4			8,671		3%			3,243		1%
Total		$	323,647		100%		$	288,841		100%

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

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenues

Our investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,										Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019					2018					2019					2018
	Amount			Percentage of Total Income		Amount			Percentage of Total Income		Amount			Percentage of Total Income		Amount			Percentage of Total Income
Interest income		$	7,153		86%		$	6,260		90%		$	21,513		88%		$	18,375		91%
Paid-in-kind interest income			699		8%			373		6%			1,542		6%			935		5%
Fee income			427		5%			300		4%			1,497		6%			858		4%

Total investment income(1)		$	8,360		100%		$	6,949		100%		$	24,633		100%		$	20,199		100%

(1)

Such revenues represent $7,516 and $6,457 of cash income earned as well as $844 and $492 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Such revenues represent $22,692 and $18,944 of cash income earned as well as $1,941 and $1,255 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 level of interest income we receive is generally related to the balance of income-producing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments. Fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of prepayment fees and structuring fees. As such, fee income is generally dependent on new direct origination investments and the occurrence of events at existing portfolio companies resulting in such fees.

The increase in interest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 can be primarily attributed to the higher average invested balance, partially offset by the reduced LIBOR rate, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in fee income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to the increase in prepayment and origination activity in the three and nine months ended September 31, 2019.

Ratio may be rounded in order to recompute the ending ratio of net operating expenses to average net assets or net operating expenses, excluding certain expenses, to average net assets.

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 amounts outstanding under our financing arrangements and benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, among other factors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Net Investment Income (Loss)

Our net investment income (loss) totaled $4,041 ($0.13 per share) and $3,703 ($0.12 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 can be attributed to the increase in interest income as discussed above, partially offset by higher incentive fees and interest expense.

Our net investment income (loss) totaled $11,821 ($0.37 per share) and $10,623 ($0.34 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 can be attributed to the increase in interest income as discussed above, partially offset by higher incentive fees and interest expense.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

Our net realized gains (losses) on investments, total return swap and foreign currency for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018

We sold investments and received principal repayments of $21,555 and $7,991, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $7,070 and $5,403, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2018. We sold investments and received principal repayments of $50,294 and $40,809, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $28,359 and $38,203, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

Our net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and total return swap and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments		$	(3,739)		$	764		$	3,321		$	(3,196)

Total net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)		$	(4,352)		$	625		$	3,317		$	(6,092)

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the net unrealized depreciation was primarily driven by mark to market declines in certain debt investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the net unrealized appreciation was primarily driven by higher valuations from Level 2 categorized assets.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $73 ($0.00 per share) and $6,007 ($0.19 per share), respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $17,559 ($0.56 per share) and $11,997 ($0.38 per share), respectively.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of September 30, 2019, we had $11,888 in cash and foreign currency, which we or our wholly-owned financing subsidiaries held in custodial accounts, and $56,283 in cash held as collateral by Citibank under the terms of the TRS. In addition, as of September 30, 2019, we had $37,088 in capacity available under the TRS and $5,000 in borrowings available under our other financing arrangement, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. As of September 30, 2019, we also had broadly syndicated investments and opportunistic investments that could be sold to create additional liquidity. As of September 30, 2019, we had fifteen debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $13,820 and unfunded equity/other commitments of $14,735. We maintain sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

We currently generate cash primarily from cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments, as well as from the issuance of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan, and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. To seek to enhance our returns, we also employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of the Advisor, but in no event will leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of our assets, as required by the 1940 Act. See “—Financing Arrangements.”

Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the cash received from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments and from the issuance of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan, as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments primarily in cash, cash equivalents, including money market funds, 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.

For additional information regarding our financing arrangements, see Note 9 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.

RIC Status and Distributions

We have elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, make distributions of an amount at least equal to 90% of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

our investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for distributions paid, each tax year. As long as the distributions are declared by the later of the fifteenth day of the ninth month following the close of a tax year or the due date of the tax return for such tax year, including extensions, distributions paid up to twelve months 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 tax status each tax year. We are also subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless we make distributions in a timely manner to our stockholders generally of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income, which is the excess of capital gains in excess of capital losses or “capital gain net income” (adjusted for certain ordinary losses), for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year and (3) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for the preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax. Any distribution declared by us during October, November or December of any calendar year, payable to stockholders of record on a specified date in such a month and actually paid during January of the following calendar year, will be treated as if it had been paid by us, as well as received by our U.S. stockholders, on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distribution was declared. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit us to pay any cash distributions. If we issue senior securities, we will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

Our first distribution was declared for stockholders of record as of January 12, 2016. Prior to the closing of our continuous public offering in November 2017, we declared regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and paid such distributions on a monthly basis to stockholders of record, as determined on a weekly basis. Effective November 29, 2017, and subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors, we declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis to stockholders of record, as determined on a monthly basis. We will calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the period using record and declaration dates and each stockholder’s distributions will begin to accrue on the date we accept such stockholder’s subscription for shares of our common stock. From time to time, we may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of our common stock at the discretion of our board of directors. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors.

During certain periods, our distributions may exceed our earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital. A return of capital generally is a return of a stockholder’s investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from our investment activities. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to our stockholders. No portion of the distributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was funded through the reimbursement of operating expenses by the Advisor.

We intend to continue to make our regular distributions in the form of cash, out of assets legally available for distribution, except for those stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in the form of shares of our common stock under the DRP. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain taxable to a U.S. stockholder.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we have declared on our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Distribution amounts and per share amounts shown are net of annual distribution fees, which began accruing on February 1, 2017. See Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion regarding annual distribution fees.

See Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding our distributions, including a reconciliation of our GAAP-basis net investment income to our tax-basis net investment income and the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis.

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 fair value of our investment portfolio each quarter. Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors. In connection with that determination, the 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 independent third-party valuation services.

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or ASC Topic 820, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, clarifies the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value

hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities where there is little or no activity in the market; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

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

•

our quarterly fair valuation process begins with the Advisor reviewing and documenting valuations of each portfolio company or investment, which valuations are obtained from an independent third-party valuation service and provide a valuation range;

•

the Advisor then provides the valuation committee of our board of directors, or the valuation committee, with its valuation recommendation for each portfolio company or investment, along with supporting materials;

•

preliminary valuations are then discussed with the valuation committee;

•

our valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuations and the Advisor, together with our independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, supplement the preliminary valuations to reflect any comments provided by the valuation committee;

•

following its review, the valuation committee will recommend that our board of directors approve our fair valuations; and

•

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

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on our consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, our board of directors may use any approved independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, our board of directors is not required to determine fair value in accordance with the valuation provided by any single source, and may use any relevant data, including information obtained from the Advisor or any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service that our board of directors deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that the Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and our board of directors may consider when determining the fair value of our 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 may be considered include the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, the fair market value of the borrower 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 (i.e., 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 determination 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and our board of directors may also consider private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party investments in the portfolio companies or industry practices in determining fair value. The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and our board of directors may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses, and may apply discounts or premiums, where and as appropriate, due to the higher (or lower) financial risk and/or the smaller size of portfolio companies relative to comparable firms, as well as such other factors as our board of directors, in consultation with the Advisor and any approved independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of our equity interests in public companies for which market quotations are readily available is based upon the most recent closing public market price. Portfolio securities that carry certain restrictions on sale are typically valued at a discount from the public market value of the security.

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

The fair values of our investments are determined in good faith by our board of directors. Our board of directors is 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 board of directors has delegated day-to-day responsibility for implementing our valuation policy to the Advisor, and has authorized the Advisor to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by our board of directors. The valuation committee is responsible for overseeing the Advisor’s implementation of the valuation process.

See Note 8 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding the fair value of our financial instruments.

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. Distributions received from a limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. 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. Our policy is to place investments on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that interest income will be collected. We consider many factors relevant to an investment when placing it on or removing it from non-accrual status including, but not limited to, the delinquency status of the investment, economic and business conditions, the overall financial condition of the underlying investment, the value of the underlying collateral, bankruptcy status, if any, and any other facts or circumstances relevant to the investment. If there is reasonable doubt that we will receive any previously accrued interest, then the interest income will be written-off. Payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the collectability of the remaining principal and interest. Non-accrual investments may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are likely to remain current based on our judgment.

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. Structuring and other non-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $1,118 in structuring fee revenue. 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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized 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.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

We evaluate our tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax benefits or liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Recognition of a tax benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we did not incur any interest or penalties.

Derivative Instruments

Our derivative instruments include foreign currency forward contracts. We recognize all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in our consolidated financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by us are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, we present changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations.

See Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding our significant accounting policies.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into an agreement with the Advisor to provide us with investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement are equal to (a) an annual base management fee based on the average weekly value of our gross assets and (b) an incentive fee based on our performance. The Advisor is reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on our behalf. See Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of this agreement and for the amount of fees and expenses accrued under similar agreements with FSIC IV Advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

A summary of our significant contractual payment obligations related to the repayment of our outstanding indebtedness at September 30, 2019 is as follows:

		Payments Due By Period
	Maturity Date(1)	Total			Less than 1 year			1 – 3 years		3 – 5 years		More than 5 years
BNP Facility(2)	June 26, 2020		$	45,000		$	45,000		—		—		—

(1)

Amounts outstanding will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on the maturity date.

(2)

At September 30, 2019, $5,000 remained unused under the BNP Facility. The BNP Facility generally is terminable upon 270 days’ notice by either party. As of September 30, 2019, neither Broomall Funding nor BNPP had provided notice of its intent to terminate the facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement—Disclosures Framework—Changes to Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), or ASU 2018-13. ASU 2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 on our financial statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. (dollar amounts in thousands)

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2019, 64.7% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) were debt investments paying variable interest rates and 30.9% were debt investments paying fixed interest rates while 0.9% were other income producing investments, 0.9% consisted of non-income producing investments and the remaining 2.6% consisted of investments on non-accrual status. 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 beyond this threshold would make it easier for us to meet or exceed the hurdle rate applicable to the subordinated incentive fee on income and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to the Advisor with respect to our increased pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Pursuant to the terms of the TRS between Cheltenham Funding and Citibank, Cheltenham Funding pays fees to Citibank at a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.60% or 1.50% per annum, as applicable, on the utilized notional amount of the loans subject to the TRS in exchange for the right to receive the economic benefit of a pool of loans having a maximum notional amount of $175,000. Pursuant to the terms of the BNP Facility, borrowings are at a floating rate based on LIBOR. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities, total return swap agreements or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries enter into are based on a floating interest rate, we will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we or our subsidiaries have such debt outstanding, or financing arrangements in effect, our interest expense would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.

The following table shows the effect over a twelve-month period of changes in interest rates on our interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in the composition of our investment portfolio, including the accrual status of our investments, and our financing arrangements in effect as of September 30, 2019:

Basis Point Change in Interest Rates	Increase (Decrease) in Interest Income(1)			Increase (Decrease) in Interest Expense			Increase (Decrease) in Net Interest Income			Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
Down 100 basis points		$	(3,405)		$	(1,829)		$	(1,576)		(7.0)%
No change			—			—			—		—
Up 100 basis points		$	3,505		$	1,829		$	1,676		7.4%
Up 300 basis points		$	10,584		$	5,487		$	5,097		22.5%
Up 500 basis points		$	17,664		$	9,146		$	8,518		37.6%

(1)

Assumes no defaults or prepayments by portfolio companies over the next twelve months. Includes the net effect of the change in interest rates on the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the TRS. Pursuant to the TRS, Cheltenham Funding receives from Citibank all interest payable in respect of the loans included in the TRS and pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.60% per annum on the utilized notional amount of the loans subject to the TRS. As of September 30, 2019, all of the loans underlying the TRS (based on fair value) paid variable interest rates.

We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent

permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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.

Evaluation of Disclosure 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 our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019.

Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that we would meet our disclosure obligations.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three month period ended September 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
