Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
FS Investment Corporation III, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on June 7, 2013 and formally commenced investment operations on April 2, 2014. 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 June 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 June 30, 2019. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. One of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes.
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 III Advisor, LLC, or FSIC III 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 amended and restated investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated August 6, 2014, or the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, by and between the Company and FSIC III 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 IV, a Maryland corporation, or FSIC IV 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 the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, or Merger 1A, and, immediately thereafter, the Company 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 the Merger 2A, Merger 2, and (iii) Merger Sub 3 will merge with and into FSIC IV, with FSIC IV continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, or Merger 3A, and, immediately thereafter, FSIC IV 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 six months ended June 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 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 Center City Funding LLC, or Center City 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 III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0% (7.5% under the FSIC III 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 distributions paid to stockholders from proceeds of non-liquidating dispositions of the Company’s investments and 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 III 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 III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), of the Company’s adjusted capital. Thereafter, the Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2019.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company reclassified investments that were previously categorized as Equity/Other to Asset Based Finance. The Company has adjusted the presentation of its asset categories for all periods presented to conform to the current period presentation.
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.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $7,154 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 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 that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s derivative instruments included interest rate swaps.
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 FrameworkChanges 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 July 1, 2019 to August 9, 2019, the Company issued 915,790 shares of common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan, or DRP, for gross proceeds of  $7,054 and at an average price per share of  $7.70. 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);
31

FS Investment Corporation III

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 3. Share Transactions (continued)

the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements;

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

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

the condition of the securities markets.
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% 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 10, 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 institutional 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.

Compensation of the Investment Adviser and Dealer Manager
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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement.
Pursuant to the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was in effect until April 9, 2018, FSIC III 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 3, 2017, FSIC III Advisor contractually had agreed to permanently waive 0.25% of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average weekly value of the Company’s gross assets. Pursuant to the investment sub-advisory agreement, GDFM was entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FSIC III Advisor under the FSIC III 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or 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, or 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 III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement were substantially similar to the administrative services provisions of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.

FSIC III Advisor contractually agreed, effective February 3, 2017, to permanently waive 0.25% of its base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC III 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. As a result, the amount shown for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are net of waivers of  $209 and $2,594, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $28,170 and $33,708, respectively, in base management fees were paid to the Advisor and/or FSIC III Advisor. As of June 30, 2019, $14,165 in base management fees were payable to the Advisor.
(2)
During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $21,633 and $16,110, respectively, of subordinated incentive fees on income were paid to the Advisor and/or FSIC III Advisor. As of June 30, 2019, a subordinated incentive fee on income of $11,701 was payable to the Advisor.
(3)
During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $860 and $1,267, respectively, of the accrued administrative services expenses related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services rendered to the Company by FSIC III Advisor and the 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 $202 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company paid $1,151 and $1,027 in administrative services expenses to FSIC III Advisor and the Advisor during the six months ended June 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 IV 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. For additional information regarding potential conflicts of interest, see the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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 III Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation IV and any future BDCs that are advised by FSIC III 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.

The Company intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. On April 30, 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared regular monthly cash distributions for July 2019 through September 2019, each in the amount of  $0.058331 per share. These distributions 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 original
36

FS Investment Corporation III

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 5. Distributions (continued)
DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders were reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to the institutional 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 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 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, 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 distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was funded through the reimbursement of operating expenses by FS Investments.
The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions on a tax basis that the Company paid on its common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 92.4% and 91.7%, respectively, of the Company’s gross investment income was attributable to cash income earned, 2.1% and 0.8%, respectively, was attributable to non-cash accretion of discount and 5.5% and 7.5%, respectively, was attributable to PIK interest.

The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $99,421 and $102,124, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $4,567 and $6,076, respectively, of undistributed net investment income and $165,420 and $96,629, respectively, of accumulated capital losses on a tax basis.
The difference between the Company’s GAAP-basis net investment income and its tax-basis net investment income is primarily due to the reclassification of unamortized original issue discount and prepayment fees recognized upon prepayment of loans from income for GAAP purposes to realized gains for tax purposes, the impact of consolidating certain subsidiaries for purposes of computing GAAP-basis net investment income but not for purposes of computing tax-basis net investment income and income recognized for tax purposes on certain transactions but not recognized for GAAP purposes and the inclusion of a portion of the periodic net settlement payments due on the TRS in tax-basis net investment income and the accretion of discount on the TRS.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation between GAAP-basis net investment income and tax-basis net investment income during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

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

Net capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term or long-term losses.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the gross unrealized appreciation on the Company’s investments, total return swap and interest rate swaps and gain on foreign currency was $176,943 and $129,945, respectively, and the gross unrealized depreciation on the Company’s investments, total return swap and interest rate swaps and loss on foreign currency was $348,000 and $359,056, respectively.

The aggregate cost of the Company’s investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes totaled $3,530,350 and $3,815,892 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on a tax basis was $(148,944) and $(204,609) as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a deferred tax asset of  $1,682 comprised of the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiary’s unrealized depreciation on investments, net operating loss carryforward and capital loss carryforward. As of June 30, 2019, the wholly-owned taxable subsidiary anticipated that it would be unable to fully utilize the components of the deferred tax assets, therefore, the deferred tax assets were offset by valuation allowance of  $1,682, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not record a provision for taxes related to its wholly-owned taxable subsidiary.

Note 6. Investment Portfolio (continued)
In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if it owned more than 25% of its voting securities or it had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company, and would be an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company held investments in three portfolio companies of which it is deemed to be an “affiliated person” but is not deemed to “control.” As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not “control” any of its portfolio companies. For additional information with respect to such portfolio companies, see footnote (s) to the unaudited consolidated schedule of investments as of June 30, 2019 in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company held investments in four portfolio companies of which it is deemed to be an “affiliated person” but is not deemed to “control.” As of December 31, 2018, the Company did not “control” any of its portfolio companies. For additional information with respect to such portfolio companies, see footnote (t) to the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2018 in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
The Company’s investment portfolio may contain loans and other unfunded arrangements that are in the form of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, delayed draw credit facilities or other investments, pursuant to which the Company may be required to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of  $93,660 and unfunded equity/​other commitments of  $167,219. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of  $128,454 and unfunded equity commitments of  $47. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise. For additional details regarding the Company’s unfunded debt investments, see the Company’s unaudited consolidated schedule of investments as of June 30, 2019 and audited consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2018.

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 condensed 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Interest Rate Swaps
Interest rate swap contracts are privately negotiated agreements between the Company and a counterparty. Pursuant to interest rate swap agreements, the Company makes fixed-rate payments to a counterparty in exchange for payments on a floating benchmark interest rate. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates. The Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by dealing only with well-known counterparties.
The interest rate swaps open at the end of the period are generally indicative of the volume of activity during the period.
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s open interest rate swaps were as follows:

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.
The Company classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy as defined by current accounting guidance:
Level 1: Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable for an asset or liability.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s investments and total return swap were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:

The Company’s investments consist primarily of debt investments that were acquired directly from the issuer. 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 and interest rate swaps 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 Center City 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 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 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 Company’s 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.

For the assets and investments that have more than one valuation technique, the Company may rely on the stated techniques individually or in the aggregate based on a weight ascribed to each valuation technique, ranging from 0 – 100%. Indicative broker quotes obtained for valuation purposes are reviewed by the Company relative to other valuation techniques.

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 TRS, which was 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 a discounted cash flow valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. For investments utilizing an option valuation model valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the volatility, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Goldman Facility
On July 10, 2019, Germantown Funding LLC and Society Hill Funding LLC, wholly-owned financing subsidiaries of the Company, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, or Goldman Sachs, effected a series of transactions to refinance the Goldman Facility through a $300,000 senior-secured term loan with Goldman Sachs as administrative agent and lender. The events described below took place in connection with the refinancing.
On July 10, 2019, Germantown Funding LLC entered into a credit agreement, or the Germantown Funding Credit Agreement and, together with the related transaction documents, the Germantown Credit Facility, with Goldman Sachs, as lender, sole lead arranger, administrative agent and calculation agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral agent and collateral administrator, pursuant to which Goldman Sachs advanced $300,000 to Germantown Funding LLC. Borrowings under the Germantown Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 250 basis points per annum and any amounts borrowed under the Germantown Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on December 15, 2019.
Under the Germantown Credit Facility, Germantown Funding LLC made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various customary covenants, reporting requirements and other requirements.
The Germantown Funding Credit Agreement contains “Events of Default” for similar financing transactions, including: (i) the failure by Germantown Funding LLC to make principal payment when due or any other payments under the Germantown Funding Credit Agreement within five business days of when they are due; (ii) the failure by Germantown Funding LLC to disburse amounts in excess of  $1 in accordance with the priority of payments within 10 business days of when they are due; (iii) the failure by Germantown Funding LLC (or its written admission that it will be unable) to pay its debts as they become due; (iv) the insolvency or bankruptcy of Germantown Funding LLC; (v) breaches of representations or

warranties by Germantown Funding LLC or the Company in any material respect; (vi) the failure by Germantown Funding LLC to comply with certain covenants and obligations under the Germantown Credit Facility (including the failure to post cash margin as required), subject to customary grace periods; and (vii) the failure by Germantown Funding LLC to commit to sell any portfolio assets that become defaulted obligations within 30 days, subject to extension so long as Germantown Funding continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such defaulted assets thereafter.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an “Event of Default,” Goldman Sachs may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Germantown Funding Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. The occurrence of an “Event of Default” also triggers a requirement that the Company obtain the consent of Goldman Sachs prior to acting on behalf of, or otherwise directing, Germantown Funding LLC in connection with any sale or disposition with respect to portfolio assets.
Germantown Funding LLC’s obligations to Goldman Sachs under the Germantown Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Germantown Funding LLC, including its portfolio of assets. The obligations of Germantown Funding LLC under the Germantown Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company, and the Company’s exposure under the Germantown Credit Facility is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Germantown Funding LLC. Borrowings of Germantown Funding LLC will be considered borrowings of the Company for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act, applicable to business development companies.
In connection with the Germantown Credit Facility, the Company, Germantown Funding LLC, Society Hill Funding LLC and Goldman Sachs terminated the Goldman Sachs Repurchase Facility by (i) effecting a cancellation of the floating rate notes issued by Germantown Funding LLC to Society Hill Funding LLC pursuant to an indenture, dated June 18, 2015, or as may have been amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the Indenture; (ii) discharging the Indenture; and (iii) terminating the Master Repurchase Agreement, dated June 18, 2015, as may have been amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.
The Company and/or its subsidiaries paid certain fees to Goldman Sachs in connection with the Germantown Credit Facility, the termination of the Goldman Sachs Repurchase Facility and the related transactions.

(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 in the Company’s continuous public offering and pursuant to the DRP. The issuance of common stock at a price, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, that is greater than the net asset value per share results in an increase in net asset value per share.
(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 based on net asset value for each period presented was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of the end of the applicable period, adding the cash distributions per share that were declared during the applicable period and dividing the total by the net asset value per share at the beginning of the applicable period. Total return based on net asset value does not consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of shares of the

Note 11. Financial Highlights (continued)
Company’s common stock. The historical calculation of total return based on net asset value in the table should not be considered a representation of the Company’s future total return based on net asset value, which may be greater or less than the return shown in the table due to a number of factors, including the Company’s ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet its investment criteria, the interest rates payable on the debt securities the Company acquires, the level of the Company’s expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Company encounter 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 return on the Company’s investment portfolio during the applicable period and do not represent an actual return to stockholders.
(7)
Weighted average net assets during the applicable period are used for this calculation. Ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are annualized. Annualized ratios for the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018:

Ratio of interest expense to average net assets
3.83% 2.84%
(8)
Portfolio turnover for the six months ended June 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
Pending Merger with FSIC II
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 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, (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 FSIC IV, with FSIC IV continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, and, immediately thereafter, FSIC IV 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 the Company’s common stock, CCT II common stock and FSIC IV 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 the Company’s common stock, CCT II common stock and FSIC IV 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 the Company) is a condition precedent to each of the Mergers. No other Merger is a condition precedent to Merger 1A. Therefore, Merger 1A will occur even if Merger 2A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and CCT II) and Merger 3A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC IV) do not occur.
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.

Overview
We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on June 7, 2013 and formally commenced investment operations on April 2, 2014. 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.
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, or the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, with our former investment adviser, FSIC III 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 senior secured bonds, 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 to tailor our investment focus as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, we may increase or
62

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 value 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 senior secured bonds 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 in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income, net realized gain or loss on investments, net realized gain or loss on foreign currency, net realized gain or loss on total return swap, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, net unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap contracts and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on total return swap.
Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating and other expenses. Net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost, including the respective realized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investment transactions. Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency is the portion of realized gain or loss attributable to foreign currency fluctuations. Net realized gain or loss on total return swap is the net monthly settlement payments received on the TRS. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio, including the respective unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investments. Net unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency is the net change in the value of receivables or accruals due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on total return swap is the net change in the fair value of the TRS.
We principally generate revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments we hold. In addition, we may 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 or 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.
63

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.
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 the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, or Merger 1A, and, immediately thereafter, the Company will merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company, or 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 Merger 2, and (iii) Merger Sub 3 will merge with and into FSIC IV, with FSIC IV continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II, or Merger 3A, and, immediately thereafter, FSIC IV 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 Code.
In the Mergers, each share of the Company’s common stock, CCT II common stock and FSIC IV 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 the Company’s common stock, CCT II common stock and FSIC IV 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 prior to the closing of the Mergers. The Funds have agreed to convene and hold meetings of their respective
64

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, CCT II, FSIC IV and the Company 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 the Company) is a condition precedent to each of the Mergers. No other Merger is a condition precedent to Merger 1A. Therefore, Merger 1A will occur even if Merger 2A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and CCT II) and Merger 3A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC IV) do not occur.
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.

“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 cash distribution amount of  $0.058331 per share as of June 30, 2019 and our distribution reinvestment price of  $7.70 per share, the annualized distribution rate to stockholders as of June 30, 2019 was 9.09%. The annualized distribution rate to stockholders is expressed as a percentage equal to the projected annualized distribution amount per share divided by our distribution reinvestment price per share. Our annualized distribution rate to stockholders may include income, realized capital gains and a return of investors’ capital. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our total return was 4.06% and our total return without assuming reinvestment of distributions was 4.08%.
Based on our regular monthly cash distribution amount of  $0.058331 per share as of December 31, 2018 and our distribution reinvestment price of  $7.75 per share as of December 31, 2018, the annualized distribution rate to stockholders was 9.03%. During the year ended December 31, 2018, our total return was 0.71% and our total return without assuming reinvestment of distributions was 0.97%.
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 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.

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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, such revenues represent $87,282 and $81,504, respectively, of cash income earned as well as $7,993 and $7,154, respectively, in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, such revenues represent $178,425 and $158,085, respectively, of cash income earned as well as $14,640 and $14,389, respectively, in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest. 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 can be primarily attributed to the higher average invested balance during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in fee income during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to the decrease of origination activity during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in fee income during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to the increase of origination activity in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

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 facilities and benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, among other factors.
Net Investment Income
Our net investment income totaled $47,023 ($0.16 per share) and $44,359 ($0.15 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 can be attributed to the increase in interest income as discussed above, offset by higher interest expense.
Our net investment income totaled $93,834 ($0.32 per share) and $92,415 ($0.32 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 can be attributed to the increase in interest income as discussed above, offset by higher incentive fees and interest expense.

We sold investments and received principal repayments of  $241,606 and $677,644, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $470,320 and $104,719, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
Our net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, total return swap and interest rate swaps and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was driven primarily by higher valuations from Level 2 categorized assets, partially offset by the reduction in the valuation of our interest rate swaps.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $31,534 ($0.11 per share) and $38,459 ($0.13 per share), respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $88,280 ($0.31 per share) and $44,048 ($0.15 per share), respectively.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of June 30, 2019, we had $192,922 in cash and foreign currency, which we or our wholly-owned financing subsidiaries held in custodial accounts, and $36,038 in cash held as collateral by Citibank under the terms of the TRS. In addition, as of June 30, 2019, we had $6,198 in capacity available under the TRS and $593,868 in borrowings available under our other financing arrangements, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. As of June 30, 2019, we also had broadly syndicated investments and opportunistic
71

investments that could be sold to create additional liquidity. As of June 30, 2019, we had unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of  $93,660 and unfunded equity/other commitments of $167,219. 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 the 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.

The carrying amount outstanding under the facility approximates its fair value.
(2)
The amount available under the BNP Facility is calculated based on the value of the pledged collateral, rather than BNP Paribas’ commitment. We may borrow amounts in excess of BNP Paribas’ commitment, at the discretion of BNP Paribas, to the extent the pledged collateral provides sufficient coverage for additional borrowings.
(3)
On June 12, 2019, Burholme Funding LLC entered into an amendment to the BNP Facility to, among other things, reduce the termination period notice from 270 days to 179 days by either party. As of June 30, 2019, neither party to the facility had provided notice of its intent to terminate the facility.
(4)
The spread over LIBOR is determined by reference to the ratio of the value of the borrowing base to the aggregate amount of certain outstanding indebtedness of the Company.
(5)
Amount includes borrowings in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros and Pound sterling. Canadian dollar balance outstanding of CAD $49,400 has been converted to U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of CAD $1.00 to $0.76 as of June 30, 2019, Euro balance outstanding of  €7,900 has been converted to U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of EUR €1.00 to $1.14 as of June 30, 2019 and Pound sterling balance outstanding of  £20,000 has been converted to U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of GBP £1.00 to $1.27 as of June 30, 2019 to reflect total amount outstanding in U.S. dollars.

The TRS may be terminated by Center City Funding at any time, subject to payment of an early termination fee if prior to September 30, 2019, or by Citibank on or after September 30, 2019, in each case, in whole or in part, upon prior written notice to the other party.
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 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 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.
Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors we intend to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions 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 that shares of our common stock are issued to such stockholder. From time to time, we may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of our common stock at the discretion of our board of directors. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors.
During certain periods, our distributions may exceed our earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital. A return of capital generally is a return of 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 represented a return of capital.
We intend to continue to make our regular distributions in the form of cash, out of assets legally available for distribution, except for those stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in the form of shares of our common stock under the distribution reinvestment plan. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain taxable to a U.S. stockholder.

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.
74

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.
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
75

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.
Derivative Instruments
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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s instruments included interest rate swaps.
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 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. We record prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when we earn such amounts.
76

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the cumulative effect method applied to in-scope contracts with customers that have not been completed as of the date of adoption. We did not identify any in-scope contracts that had not been completed as of the date of adoption and, as a result, we did not recognize a cumulative effect on stockholders’ equity in connection with the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance.
The new revenue recognition guidance applies to all entities and all contracts with customers to provide goods or services in the ordinary course of business, excluding, among other things, financial instruments as well as certain other contractual rights and obligations. Under the new revenue recognition guidance, which we have applied to all new in-scope contracts as of the date of adoption, structuring and other upfront fees are recognized as revenue based on the transaction price as the performance obligation is fulfilled. The related performance obligation consists of structuring activities and is satisfied over time as such activities are performed. Consideration is variable and is constrained from being included in the transaction price until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved, typically as of the trade date of the related transaction. Payment is typically due on the settlement date of the related transaction.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $7,154 in structuring fee revenue under the new revenue recognition guidance and included such revenue in the fee income line item on our consolidated statement of operations. Comparative periods are presented in accordance with revenue recognition guidance effective prior to January 1, 2018, under which we recorded structuring and other non-recurring upfront fees as income when earned. We have determined that the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance did not have a material impact on the amount of revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Net Realized Gains or Losses, Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation and Net Change in Unrealized Gains or Losses on Foreign Currency
Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated by using the specific identification method. We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we did not incur any interest or penalties.
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
77

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 III Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: 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).
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2019, 74.2% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) were debt investments paying variable interest rates and 22.8% were debt investments paying fixed interest rates, while 0.2% were other income producing investments, 2.7% were non-income producing investments and the remaining 0.1% 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. However, many of our variable rate investments provide for an interest rate floor, which may prevent our interest income from increasing until benchmark interest rates increase beyond a threshold amount. To the extent that a substantial portion of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates beyond this threshold would make it easier for us to meet or
78

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.
Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, we may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. Although hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates. As of June 30, 2019, we have four pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps which we pay an annual fixed rate of 2.59% to 2.81% and receive three-month LIBOR on an aggregate notional amount of  $540 million. The interest rate swaps have quarterly settlement payments.
Pursuant to the terms of the TRS between Center City Funding and Citibank, Center City Funding pays fees to Citibank at a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.55% per annum 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  $150,000. Pursuant to the terms of the BNP facility, Deutsche Bank credit facility, JPM credit facility and Goldman 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 June 30, 2019:

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, Center City 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 1.55% per annum on the utilized notional amount of the loans subject to the TRS. As of June 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.
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.”

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)) that occurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
