Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp.
Consolidated Schedule of Investments
March 31, 2015
(unaudited)



(1)
All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise noted. Equity is non-income producing unless otherwise noted.
(2)
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition by geographic region.
(3)
Control Investments are defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") as investments in companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities or maintains greater than 50% of the board representation.
(4)
Affiliate Investments are defined by the 1940 Act as investments in companies in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities.
(5)
Principal amount is net of repayments, if any.
(6)
Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments are defined by the 1940 Act as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.
(7)
Investment is not a qualifying asset as defined under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act.
(8)
The principal balance outstanding for all floating rate loans is indexed to LIBOR and an alternate base rate (e.g., prime rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. For each of these loans, the Company has provided the applicable margin over LIBOR based on each respective credit agreement.
(9)
Interest rates have been adjusted on certain term loans from the stated rates in the original credit agreement as shown in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. These rate adjustments are temporary in nature due to tier pricing arrangements or financial or payment covenant violations in the original credit agreements, or permanent in nature per loan amendment or waiver documents. The table below summarizes these rate adjustments by portfolio company:
Portfolio Company
 
Effective date

 Power Products, LLC

Accruent, LLC
 
November 14, 2014
 
+ 1.50% on First Lien Term Loan
 
Per loan amendment
CM Delaware LLC
 
May 5, 2014
 
+ 0.75% on First Lien Term Loan
 
Per loan amendment
(10)
Investment pledged as collateral under one or more of the Company's credit facilities. A single investment may be divided into parts that are individually pledged as collateral to separate credit facilities.
(11)
Investment has undrawn commitments and a negative cost basis as a result of unamortized fees. Unamortized fees are classified as unearned income which reduces cost basis.

FIFTH STREET SENIOR FLOATING RATE CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1. Organization
Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. (the "Company") was formed in May 2013 as a Delaware corporation and structured as an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company, that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Company is managed by Fifth Street Management LLC (the "Investment Adviser").
The Company also has wholly-owned subsidiaries that are consolidated for accounting purposes and the portfolio investments held by the subsidiaries are included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
On July 17, 2013, the Company completed an initial public offering of 6,666,668 shares of its common stock at the public offering price of $15.00 per share. The proceeds of its initial public offering totaled $100.0 million and all offering costs were borne by the Company's Investment Adviser, including $5.3 million of underwriting commissions and $0.4 million of other offering related expenses. The Company's common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, where it trades under the symbol "FSFR."
On August 19, 2014, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 22,800,000 shares of its common stock at the public offering price of $12.91 per share. The net proceeds totaled $276.2 million after deducting underwriting commissions of $17.7 million and offering costs of $0.5 million.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation:
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements have been made. The financial results of the Company’s portfolio investments are not consolidated in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. As provided under ASU 2013-08 which amended Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 946 – Financial Services – Investment Companies ("ASC 946"), the Company is an investment company as it is regulated under the 1940 Act and is applying guidance in ASC 946.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions affecting amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The most significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements are the valuation of investments and revenue recognition.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include portfolio investments at fair value of $583.6 million and $300.0 million at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The portfolio investments represent 159.0% and 80.5% of net assets at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, and their fair values have been determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors in the absence of readily available market values. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the determined values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and the differences could be material.
The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, "Control Investments" are defined as investments in companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities or has rights to maintain greater than 50% of the board representation; "Affiliate Investments" are defined as investments in companies in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities; and "Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments" are defined as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.
 
Fair Value Measurements:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A liability's fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available or reliable, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments' complexity.

15

FIFTH STREET SENIOR FLOATING RATE CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Assets recorded at fair value in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.
Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
 
Level 1 — Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data at the measurement date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
Under ASC 820, the Company performs detailed valuations of its debt and equity investments on an individual basis, using bond yield, market and income approaches as appropriate. In general, the Company utilizes the bond yield method in determining the fair value of its debt investments when there is no readily available market quotation, as long as it is appropriate. If, in the Company's judgment, the bond yield approach is not appropriate, it may use the market or income approach in determining the fair value of the Company's investment in the portfolio company. In certain instances, the Company may use alternative methodologies, including an asset liquidation model, expected recovery model or other alternative approaches.
Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value. As such, the Company's capital markets group obtains and analyzes readily available market quotations provided by independent pricing services for all of the Company’s senior secured debt investments for which quotations are available. In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing services use observable market information, including both binding and non-binding indicative quotations. These investments are generally classified as Level 3 because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities or may require adjustment for investment-specific factors or restrictions.

The Company evaluates the prices obtained from independent pricing services based on available market information and company specific data that could affect the credit quality and/or fair value of the investment. Investments for which market quotations are readily available maybe be valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, the Company looks at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. The Company does not adjust any of the prices received from these sources unless the Company has a reason to believe any such market quotations are not reflective of the fair value of an investment.

Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value where the Company believes that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser or the market for a particular security causes current market quotations not to reflect the fair value of the security, among other reasons. Examples of these events could include cases when a security trades infrequently causing a quoted purchase or sale price to become stale or in the event of a "fire sale" by a distressed seller. In these instances, the Company values such investments by using the valuation procedure that it uses with respect to assets for which market quotations are not readily available (as discussed below).

If the quotation provided by the pricing service is based on only one or two market sources, the Company performs additional procedures to corroborate such information, generally including but not limited to, the bond yield approach discussed below and a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the credit quality and market trends affecting the portfolio company.
Under the bond yield approach, the Company uses bond yield models to determine the present value of the future cash flow streams of its debt investments. The Company reviews various sources of transactional data, including private mergers and acquisitions involving debt investments with similar characteristics, and assesses the information in the valuation process.
Under the market approach, the Company estimates the enterprise value of the portfolio companies in which it invests. There is no one methodology to estimate enterprise value and, in fact, for any one portfolio company, enterprise value is best expressed as a range of fair values, from which the Company derives a single estimate of enterprise value. To estimate the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the Company analyzes various factors, including the portfolio company's historical and projected financial results. Typically, private companies are valued based on multiples of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), cash flows, net income, revenues, or, in limited cases, book value. The Company generally requires portfolio companies to provide annual audited and quarterly or monthly unaudited financial statements, as well as annual projections for the upcoming fiscal year.

16

FIFTH STREET SENIOR FLOATING RATE CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Under the income approach, the Company generally prepares and analyzes discounted cash flow models based on projections of the future free cash flows of the business.
The Company estimates the fair value of privately held warrants using a Black Scholes pricing model. At each reporting date, privately held warrants are valued based on an analysis of various factors and subjective assumptions including, but not limited to, the current stock price (by analyzing the portfolio company’s operating performance and financial condition and general market conditions), the expected period until exercise, expected volatility of the underlying stock price, expected dividends, and the risk free rate. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.
The Company's Board of Directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of the Company's investments:
The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued either by the Company's capital markets group for quoted investments or the Company's finance department for unquoted investments;
Preliminary valuations are then reviewed and discussed with principals of the Investment Adviser;
Separately, independent valuation firms engaged by the Board of Directors prepare preliminary valuations of the Company's investments, on a selected basis, for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment, and submit the reports to the Company;
The finance department compares and contrasts its preliminary valuations to the preliminary valuations of the independent valuation firms;
The finance department prepares a valuation report for the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors;
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is apprised of the preliminary valuations of the independent valuation firms;
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the preliminary valuations with the portfolio managers of the Investment Adviser, and the finance department responds and supplements the preliminary valuations to reflect any comments provided by the Audit Committee;
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors regarding the fair value of the investments in the Company's portfolio; and
The Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company's portfolio in good faith.
The fair value of each of the Company's investments at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has authorized the engagement of independent valuation firms to provide valuation assistance. The Company will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the
fair value of a portion of the Company's portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily
available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment each quarter, with a substantial portion being valued over the
course of each fiscal year. However, the Board of Directors is ultimately and solely responsible for the valuation of the portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Company's valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.
Investment Income:
Interest income, adjusted for accretion of original issue discount ("OID") is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company stops accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible.
The Company generally recognizes dividend income on the ex-dividend date.
The Company may invest in debt securities which contain payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest provisions. PIK interest is computed at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement and added to the principal balance of the investment and recorded as income.
Fee income consists of the monthly servicing fees, advisory fees, structuring fees and prepayment fees that the Company receives in connection with its debt investments. These fees are recognized as earned.


17

FIFTH STREET SENIOR FLOATING RATE CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when acquired. The Company places its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in bank accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured limit.
Restricted Cash:
As of March 31, 2015, included in restricted cash is $5.7 million that was held at U.S. Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo in connection with the Company's Natixis and Citibank facilities (as defined in Note 6 — Lines of Credit). Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreements, the Company is restricted in terms of access to $5.7 million until such time as the Company submits its required monthly reporting schedules and Natixis, New York Branch and Citibank and each verifies the Company's compliance with the terms of the credit agreements with the Company.
Due from Portfolio Companies:
Due from portfolio companies consists of amounts payable to the Company from its portfolio companies, excluding those amounts attributable to interest, dividends or fees receivable. These amounts are recognized as they become payable to the Company (e.g., principal payments on the scheduled amortization payment date).
Deferred Financing Costs:
Deferred financing costs consist of fees and expenses in connection with the closing or amending of the Company's credit facilities, and are capitalized at the time of payment. Deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight line method over the terms of the respective credit facilities. This amortization expense is included in interest expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Offering Costs:
Offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the public offer and sale of Company's common stock, including legal, accounting and printing fees. There were no offering costs charged to capital during the six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014.
Income Taxes:
As a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), the Company is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to its stockholders as a dividend. The Company intends to distribute between 90% and 100% of its taxable income and gains, within the Subchapter M rules, and thus the Company anticipates that it will not incur any U.S. federal or state income tax at the corporate level. As a RIC, the Company is also subject to a U.S. federal excise tax based on distributive requirements of its taxable income on a calendar year basis. The Company anticipates timely distribution of its taxable income within the tax rules; however, the Company incurred a de minimis U.S. federal excise tax for calendar year 2013. The Company does not expect to incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar year 2014. The Company may incur a U.S. federal excise tax in future years.
ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("ASC 740") provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management's determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Connecticut, and the Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance to establish a comprehensive and converged standard on revenue recognition to enable financial statement users to better understand and consistently analyze an entity’s revenue across industries, transactions, and geographies. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods

18

FIFTH STREET SENIOR FLOATING RATE CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new guidance also specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. The guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. Qualitative and quantitative information is required to be disclosed about: (1) contracts with customers, (2) significant judgments and changes in judgments and (3) assets recognized from costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance will apply to all entities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update that requires debt issuance costs (deferred financing costs) related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, however, because the update impacts presentation and disclosure only, the Company does not believe adoption will have a significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 3. Portfolio Investments
At March 31, 2015, 159.0% of net assets, or $583.6 million, was invested in 59 portfolio investments and 19.7% of net assets, or $72.3 million, was in cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash). In comparison, at September 30, 2014, 80.5% of net assets, or $300.0 million, was invested in 48 portfolio investments and 28.8% of net assets, or $107.4 million, was in cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash). As of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, 99.9% and 99.8%, respectively, of the Company's investment portfolio, at cost and fair value, consisted of senior secured debt investments that bore interest at floating rates which are secured by first or second priority liens on the assets of the portfolio companies.
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $0.8 million and $(3.6) million, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded net unrealized depreciation of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded net realized losses of $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded net realized gains of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the fact that the unobservable factors are the most significant to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated by external sources). Accordingly, the appreciation (depreciation) in the tables below includes changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

The Company generally utilizes a bond yield model to estimate the fair value of its debt investments when there is not a readily available market value (Level 3), which model is based on the present value of expected cash flows from the debt investments. The significant observable inputs into the model are market interest rates for debt with similar characteristics, which are adjusted for the portfolio company's credit risk. The credit risk component of the valuation considers several factors including financial performance, business outlook, debt priority and collateral position. These factors are incorporated into the calculation of the capital structure premium, tranche specific risk premium/(discount), size premium and industry premium/(discount), which are significant unobservable inputs into the model.

(c) Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.
(d) The Company generally uses prices provided by an independent pricing service which are non-binding indicative prices on or near the valuation date as the primary basis for the fair value determinations for quoted senior secured debt investments. Since these prices are non-binding, they may not be indicative of fair value. Each quoted price is evaluated by the Audit Committee in conjunction with additional information compiled by the Company, including financial performance, recent business developments and various other factors.

(a) Used when market participant would take into account this premium or discount when pricing the investment.
(b) Used when market participant would use such multiples when pricing the investment.
(c) Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.
Under the bond yield approach, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's investments in debt securities are capital structure premium, tranche specific risk premium/(discount), size premium and industry premium/(discount). Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively.
Under the market and income approaches, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's investments in debt or equity securities are the weighted average cost of capital, company specific risk premium, revenue growth rate, EBITDA multiple and revenue multiple. Significant increases or decreases in a portfolio company's weighted average cost of capital or company specific risk premium in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively. Significant increases or decreases in the revenue growth rate or valuation multiples in isolation may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.

Note 6. Lines of Credit
Natixis Facility
On November 1, 2013, FS Senior Funding LLC, the Company's wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, entered into a $100 million revolving credit facility (the "Natixis facility") with the lenders referred to therein, Natixis, New York Branch, as administrative agent, and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent and custodian.
Borrowings under the Natixis facility are subject to certain customary advance rates and accrue interest at a rate equal to either the applicable commercial paper rate (subject to an overall cap) plus 1.90% in the case of a lender that is a commercial paper conduit or otherwise the three-month LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum. In addition, there is a commitment fee payable on the undrawn amount under the credit facility equal to 1.00% (or 0.50% for the first six months after the closing date) of such undrawn amount. Interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears. The reinvestment period under the credit facility ends 18 months after the closing date and the credit facility will mature on November 1, 2021.
On October 16, 2014, the Company entered into agreements to expand the Natixis facility from $100 million to $200 million, including a $100 million term loan and a $100 million revolving credit facility. Fifth Third Bank ("Fifth Third") also joined the facility as a term loan lender.  The $50 million term loan provided by Fifth Third is priced at LIBOR plus 2% per annum, and the $100 million revolving credit facility and $50 million term loan provided by Natixis, New York Branch, are priced at the applicable commercial paper rate plus 1.9% per annum. The facility maturity date remains unchanged.
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $183.4 million outstanding under the Natixis facility. Borrowings under the Natixis facility are secured by all of the assets of FS Senior Funding LLC and all of the Company's equity interest in FS Senior Funding LLC.

27

FIFTH STREET SENIOR FLOATING RATE CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The Company may use the Natixis facility to fund a portion of its loan origination activities and for general corporate purposes. Each loan origination under the Natixis facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company's borrowings under the Natixis facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.242% and 2.180% for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded interest expense of $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, related to the Natixis facility. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to the Natixis facility.
Citibank Facility
On January 15, 2015, FS Senior Funding II LLC, the Company's wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, entered into a $175 million revolving credit facility (the "Citibank facility") with the lenders referred to therein, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N. A., as collateral agent and custodian.
Borrowings under the Citibank facility are subject to certain customary advance rates and accrue interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum on broadly syndicated loans and LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum on all other eligible loans during the reinvestment period. In addition, there is a commitment fee payable on the undrawn amount under the credit facility of either 0.50% per annum on the unused amount of the credit facility (if the advances outstanding on the credit facility exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments by lenders to make advances on such day) or 0.75% per annum on the unused amount of the credit facility (if the advances outstanding on the credit facility do not exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments by lenders to make advances on such day) for the duration of the reinvestment period. Interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears. The reinvestment period under the credit facility ends three years after the closing date and the credit facility will mature on January 15, 2020.
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $96.7 million outstanding under the Citibank facility. Borrowings under the Citibank facility are secured by all of the assets of FS Senior Funding II LLC and all of the Company's equity interest in FS Senior Funding II LLC. The Company may use the Citibank facility to fund a portion of its loan origination activities and for general corporate purposes. Each loan origination under the Citibank facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company's borrowings under the Citibank facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.511% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.6 million related to the Citibank facility.
Note 7. Interest and Dividend Income
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. In accordance with the Company's policy, accrued interest is evaluated periodically for collectability. The Company stops accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Distributions of income from portfolio companies are generally recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date.
As of March 31, 2015, September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, there were no investments on which the Company had stopped accruing interest or OID income. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, there were no income non-accrual amounts.
Note 8. Taxable/Distributable Income and Dividend Distributions
Taxable income may differ from net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations primarily due to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, as investment gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.
Listed below is a reconciliation of net increase in net assets resulting from operations to taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014:

The Company's taxable income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 is an estimate and will not be finally determined until the Company files its tax return for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015. Therefore, the final taxable income may be different than the estimate.

FIFTH STREET SENIOR FLOATING RATE CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


As of September 30, 2014, the components of accumulated undistributed income on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income, net (RIC status)
$

Realized capital gains (losses)

Unrealized gains, net
4,150

The effect of the permanent book/tax reclassifications during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 resulted in increase/(decrease) to the components of net assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2014 as follows:
Undistributed Net Investment Income
$
2,056,904

Accumulated Net Realized Gain/(Loss) on Investments
(269,981
)
Paid-In Capital
(1,786,923
)
For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts have been adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences.  Reclassifications are primarily due to the tax treatment of prepayment fees, nondeductible excise taxes paid, reclassification of distributions paid and return of capital distributions.  
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of RICs. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Company is permitted to carry forward any net capital losses, if any, incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period.
Distributions to stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Company is required to distribute annually to its stockholders at least 90% of its net taxable income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses for each taxable year in order to be eligible for the tax benefits allowed to a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. The Company anticipates paying out as a dividend all or substantially all of those amounts. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board of Directors and is based on management's estimate of the Company's annual taxable income. The Company maintains an "opt out" dividend reinvestment plan for its stockholders.
For income tax purposes, the Company estimates that its distributions for the calendar year will be composed primarily of ordinary income, and will be reflected as such on the Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year. To the extent that the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the amount of dividends declared, however, a portion of the total amount of the Company’s dividends for the fiscal year may be deemed a return of capital for tax purposes to the Company’s stockholders.
As a RIC, the Company is also subject to a U.S. federal excise tax based on distributive requirements of its taxable income on a calendar year basis. The Company incurred a de minimis U.S. federal excise tax for calendar year 2013. The Company does not expect to incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar year 2014.
Note 9. Realized Gains or Losses and Net Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments
Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or redemption and the cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments written-off during the period, net of recoveries. Realized losses may also be recorded in connection with the Company's determination that certain investments are considered worthless securities and/or meet the conditions for loss recognition per the applicable tax rules.
Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the net change in the valuation of the portfolio pursuant to the Company's valuation guidelines and the reclassification of any prior period unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded investment realization events, including the following:
In October 2014, the Company received a cash payment of $6.8 million from Answers Corporation in full satisfaction of all obligations under the loan agreement. The debt investment was exited at par (plus additional fees) and no realized gain or loss was recorded on the transaction;
In December 2014, the Company received a cash payment of $4.9 million from Survey Sampling International, LLC in full satisfaction of all obligations under the loan agreement. The debt investment was exited at par and no realized gain or loss was recorded on the transaction; and

During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company received cash payments of $246.9 million in connection with full or partial sales of debt investments and recorded a net realized loss of $1.6 million.
During the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received cash payments of $51.9 million in connection with the full or partial sales of debt investments in the open market and recorded a net realized gain of $0.3 million.
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $0.8 million and $(3.6) million, respectively, of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on its investments. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of net unrealized depreciation on its debt investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company's net unrealized depreciation consisted of $48,210 of net unrealized appreciation on equity investments, $408,419 of net unrealized appreciation on debt investments and $381,162 of net reclassifications to realized loss on debt and equity investments (resulting in unrealized appreciation). For the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company's net unrealized depreciation consisted of $3,907,322 of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments, offset by $20,376 of net unrealized appreciation on equity investments and $335,731 of net reclassifications to realized loss on debt and equity investments (resulting in unrealized appreciation).
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company's net unrealized depreciation consisted of $314,338 of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments and $4,602 of net reclassifications to realized gains on debt investments (resulting in unrealized depreciation). For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company's net unrealized depreciation consisted of $608,777 of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments and $4,602 of net reclassifications to realized gains on debt investments (resulting in unrealized depreciation).
Note 10. Concentration of Credit Risks
The Company places its cash in financial institutions and at times such balances may be in excess of the FDIC insured limit. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by depositing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and monitoring their financial stability.
Note 11. Related Party Transactions
The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Investment Adviser. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Company pays the Investment Adviser a fee for its services consisting of two components — a base management fee and an incentive fee.
Base management Fee
The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1% of the Company's gross assets (i.e., total assets held before deduction of any liabilities), which includes any investments acquired with the use of leverage and excludes any cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of the Company's gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed quarters. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and the fee for any partial month or quarter is appropriately prorated.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, base management fees were $1.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, base management fees were $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. At March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, the Company had liabilities on its Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $1.5 million and $0.5 million, reflecting the unpaid portion of the base management fee payable to the Investment Adviser.
Incentive Fee
The incentive fee portion of the investment advisory agreement has two parts. The first part ("Part I Incentive Fee" or "income incentive fee") is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company's "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. For this purpose, "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the fiscal quarter, minus the Company's operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Company's administration agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding indebtedness or preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment

FIFTH STREET SENIOR FLOATING RATE CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company's net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, will be compared to a "hurdle rate" of 1.5% per quarter (6% annualized), subject to a "catch-up" provision measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The Company's net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 1% base management fee. The operation of the incentive fee with respect to the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for each quarter is as follows:
No incentive fee is payable to the Investment Adviser in any fiscal quarter in which the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.5% (the "preferred return" or "hurdle");
50% of the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5% in any fiscal quarter (10% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser. The Company refers to this portion of its Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5%) as the "catch-up." The "catch-up" provision is intended to provide the Investment Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.5% in any fiscal quarter; and
20% of the amount of the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any fiscal quarter (10% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved (20% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter is allocated to the Investment Adviser).
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, the Part I incentive fee was $1.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Part I incentive fee was $0.3 million. At March 31, 2015, the Company had a liability on its Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $1.2 million, reflecting the unpaid portion of the Part I incentive fee payable to the Investment Adviser.
The second part ("Part II incentive fee" or "capital gain incentive fee") of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the investment advisory agreement, as of the termination date) and equals 20% of the Company's realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees.
In accordance with GAAP, the Company had cumulatively accrued a Part II incentive fee as September 30, 2014 of $54,826 which was reversed due to unrealized losses on the investment portfolio during the three and six months ended March 31, 2015. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, there was no Part II incentive fee to the investment adviser. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the investment advisory and management agreement. This GAAP accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the Part II incentive fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires the Company to record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such cumulative amount, less the aggregate amount of actual Part II incentive fees paid or capital gains incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has not paid any Part II incentive fees since inception. The resulting accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior periods or a reversal of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior periods. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future.
Indemnification
The investment advisory agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of their respective duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of their respective duties and obligations, the Company's Investment Adviser and its officers, managers, agents, employees, controlling persons, members (or their owners) and any other person or entity affiliated with it, are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of the Investment Adviser's services under the investment advisory agreement or otherwise as the Company's Investment Adviser.
Administration Agreement
On January 1, 2015, the Company entered into an administration agreement with its administrator, FSC CT LLC ("FSC CT"), under substantially similar terms as its prior administration agreement with FSC CT, Inc. Under the administration agreement with FSC

Note 13. Subsequent Events
The Company's management evaluates subsequent events through the date of issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in, or would be required to be recognized in, the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the six months ended March 31, 2015, except as follows:
In April 2015, the Company invested $53.4 million in FSFR Glick JV LLC ("FSFR Glick JV") to facilitate the acquisition of $94.4 million in principal amount of senior secured loans. FSFR Glick JV has drawn $34.4 million under its $200.0 million revolving credit facility with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC. These transactions were in connection with the Company's agreement in November 2014 with entities controlled by members of the Glick Family ("GF Funding") to provide $100.0 million of subordinated notes and equity to the FSFR Glick JV, with the Company providing $87.5 million and GF Funding providing $12.5 million. The FSFR Glick JV invests in middle market and other corporate debt securities. In future reporting periods, the Company's debt and equity investment in the FSFR Glick JV will be accounted for as a control investment within the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

All amounts are in dollars, except share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated.
Overview
We were formed in May 2013 as a Delaware corporation and structured as an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. Our investment objective is to maximize our portfolio’s total return by generating current income from our debt investments while seeking to preserve our capital. We have elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes we have elected to be treated, and intend to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Also, we are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, and intend to take advantage of the exemption for emerging growth companies allowing us to temporarily forego the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We do not intend to take advantage of other disclosure or reporting exemptions for emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act.
 On July 17, 2013, we completed an initial public offering of 6,666,668 shares of our common stock at the public offering price of $15.00 per share. The proceeds of our initial public offering totaled $100.0 million and all offering costs were borne by our investment adviser, including $5.3 million of underwriting commissions and $0.4 million of other offering related expenses.

34


On August 19, 2014, we completed a follow-on public offering of 22,800,000 shares of its common stock at the public offering price of $12.91 per share. The net proceeds totaled $276.2 million after deducting underwriting commissions of $17.7 million and offering costs of $0.5 million. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, where it trades under the symbol "FSFR."
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions affecting amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. We have identified investment valuation and revenue recognition as our most critical accounting estimates. We continuously evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion of our critical accounting policies follows.
Investment Valuation
We are required to report our investments that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available at fair value. The fair value is deemed to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, we perform detailed valuations of our debt and equity investments on an individual basis, using bond yield, market and income approaches as appropriate. In general, we utilize a bond yield method for the majority of our investments where there is no readily available market quotation, as long as it is appropriate. If, in our judgment, the bond yield approach is not appropriate, we may use the market approach, income approach, or, in certain cases, an alternative methodology potentially including market quotations, an asset liquidation model, expected recovery model or other alternative approaches.

Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value. As such, our capital markets group obtains and analyzes readily available market quotations provided by independent pricing services for all of our senior secured debt investments for which quotations are available. In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing services use observable market information, including both binding and non-binding indicative quotations. These investments are generally classified as Level 3 because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities or may require adjustment for investment-specific factors or restrictions.

We evaluate the prices obtained from independent pricing services based on available market information and company specific data that could affect the credit quality and/or fair value of the investment. Investments for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, we look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. We do not adjust any of the prices received from these sources unless we have a reason to believe any such market quotations are not reflective of the fair value of an investment.

Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value where we believe that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser or the market for a particular security causes current market quotations not to reflect the fair value of the security, among other reasons. Examples of these events could include cases when a security trades infrequently causing a quoted purchase or sale price to become stale or in the event of a “fire sale” by a distressed seller. In these instances, we value such investments by using the valuation procedure that we use with respect to assets for which market quotations are not readily available (as discussed below).

If the quotation provided by the pricing service is based on only one or two market sources, we perform additional procedures to corroborate such information, generally including but not limited to, the bond yield approach discussed below and a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the credit quality and market trends affecting the portfolio company.
Under the bond yield approach, we use bond yield models to determine the present value of the future cash flow streams of our debt investments. We review various sources of transactional data, including private mergers and acquisitions involving debt investments with similar characteristics, and assess the information in the valuation process.

35


Under the market approach, we estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio companies in which we invest. There is no one methodology to estimate enterprise value and, in fact, for any one portfolio company, enterprise value is best expressed as a range of fair values from which we derive a single estimate of enterprise value. To estimate the enterprise value of a portfolio company, we analyze various factors, including the portfolio company's historical and projected financial results. Typically, private companies are valued based on multiples of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), cash flows, net income or revenues. We generally require portfolio companies to provide annual audited and quarterly or monthly unaudited financial statements, as well as annual projections for the upcoming fiscal year.
Under the income approach, we generally prepare and analyze discounted cash flow models based on our projections of the future free cash flows of the business.
We estimate the fair value of privately held warrants using a Black Scholes pricing model. At each reporting date, privately held warrants are valued based on an analysis of various factors and subjective assumptions including, but not limited to, the current stock price (by analyzing the portfolio company’s operating performance and financial condition and general market conditions), the expected period until exercise, expected volatility of the underlying stock price, expected dividends, and the risk free rate. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.
 
Our Board of Directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of our investments:
The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued either by our capital markets group for quoted investments or our finance department for unquoted investments;
Preliminary valuations are then reviewed and discussed with principals of the Investment Adviser;
Separately, independent valuation firms engaged by the Board of Directors prepare preliminary valuations of our investments, on a selected basis, for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment, and submit the reports to us;
Our finance department compares and contrasts its preliminary valuations to the preliminary valuations of the independent valuation firms;
Our finance department prepares a valuation report for the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors;
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is apprised of the preliminary valuations of the independent valuation firms;
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors reviews the preliminary valuations with the portfolio managers of the Investment Adviser, and our finance department responds and supplements the preliminary valuations to reflect any comments provided by the Audit Committee;
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors makes a recommendation to our Board of Directors regarding the fair value of the investments in our portfolio; and
Our Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith.
The fair value of all of our investments at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, was determined by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has authorized the engagement of independent valuation firms to provide us with valuation assistance. We will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide us with assistance regarding our determination of the fair value of selected portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment each quarter; however, our Board of Directors is ultimately and solely responsible for the valuation of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to our valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.
In certain cases, an independent valuation firm may perform a portfolio company valuation which is reviewed and, where appropriate, relied upon by our Board of Directors in determining the fair value of such investment.
The percentages of our portfolio, at fair value, valued by independent valuation firms each period during the current and preceding fiscal years were as follows:

For the quarter ended December 31, 2013
34.1
%
For the quarter ended March 31, 2014

%
As of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, approximately 86.6% and 72.7%, respectively, of our total assets represented investments in portfolio companies valued at fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Interest and Dividend Income
Interest income, adjusted for accretion of original issue discount, or OID, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. We stop accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Distributions of income from portfolio companies are generally recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date.
Fee Income
We receive a variety of fees in the ordinary course of business including servicing, advisory, structuring and prepayment fees which are classified as fee income and recognized as they are earned.
Payment-in-Kind (PIK) Interest
Although none of our investments bore PIK interest as of March 31, 2015, a portion of our loans may contain contractual PIK interest provisions in the future. The PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest, will be added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term, and would generally be recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. We would generally cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if we do not expect the portfolio company to be able to pay all principal and interest due. Our decision to cease accruing PIK interest would involve subjective judgments and determinations based on available information about a particular portfolio company, including whether the portfolio company is current with respect to its payment of principal and interest on its loans and debt securities; monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections for the portfolio company; our assessment of the portfolio company's business development success, including product development, profitability and the portfolio company's overall adherence to its business plan; information obtained by us in connection with periodic formal update interviews with the portfolio company's management and, if appropriate, the private equity sponsor; and information about the general economic and market conditions in which the portfolio company operates. Based on this and other information, we would determine whether to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security. Our determination to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security would generally be made well before our full write-down of such loan or debt security. There were no investments on which we earned PIK interest for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014.
For a discussion of risks we are subject to if we were to acquire loans that bear PIK interest, see "Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Structure — We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income," "— We may in the future choose to pay dividends in our own stock, in which case you may be required to pay tax in excess of the cash you receive" and "— Our incentive fee may induce our investment adviser to make speculative investments" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014. In addition, if it is subsequently determined that we will not be able to collect any previously accrued PIK interest, the fair value of our loans or debt securities would decline by the amount of such previously accrued, but uncollectible, PIK interest. The accrual of PIK interest on our debt investments would increase the recorded cost basis of these investments in our financial statements and, as a result, would increase the cost basis of these investments for purposes of computing the capital gains incentive fee payable by us to our investment adviser.
To maintain our status as a RIC, PIK income must be paid out to our stockholders in the form of distributions even though we have not yet collected the cash and may never collect the cash relating to the PIK interest. We did not have any accumulated PIK interest as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014.

Portfolio Composition
Our investments principally consist of senior secured loans in privately-held companies. Our loans are typically secured by a first or second lien on the assets of the portfolio company and generally have terms of up to seven years (but an expected average life of between three and four years). We are currently focusing our origination efforts on a prudent mix of first lien and second lien loans which we believe will provide superior risk-adjusted returns while maintaining adequate credit protection. The mix may change over time based on market conditions and management's view of where the best risk-adjusted returns are available.
As of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, 99.9% and 99.8%, respectively, of our investment portfolio, at cost and fair value, was invested in senior secured debt investments that bore interest at floating rates.
The industry composition of our portfolio at cost and fair value, respectively, as a percentage of total investments was as follows:

Portfolio Asset Quality
We employ a ranking system to assess and monitor the credit risk of our investment portfolio. We rank all investments on a scale from 1 to 4. The system is intended to reflect the performance of the borrower's business, the collateral coverage of the loan, and other factors considered relevant to making a credit judgment. We have determined that there should be an individual ranking assigned to each tranche of securities in the same portfolio company where appropriate. This may arise when the perceived risk of loss on the investment varies significantly between tranches due to their respective seniority in the capital structure.
Investment Ranking 1 is used for investments that are performing above expectations and/or capital gains are expected.
Investment Ranking 2 is used for investments that are performing substantially within our expectations, and whose risks remain materially consistent with the potential risks at the time of the original or restructured investment. All new investments are initially ranked 2.
Investment Ranking 3 is used for investments that are performing below our expectations and for which risk has materially increased since the original or restructured investment. The portfolio company may be out of compliance with debt covenants and may require closer monitoring. To the extent that the underlying agreement has a PIK interest provision, investments with a ranking of 3 are generally those on which we are not accruing PIK interest.
Investment Ranking 4 is used for investments that are performing substantially below our expectations and for which

39


risk has increased substantially since the original or restructured investment. Investments with a ranking of 4 are those for which some loss of principal is expected and are generally those on which we are not accruing cash interest.
The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 4 investment ranking scale at fair value as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014:

We may from time to time modify the payment terms of our investments, either in response to current economic conditions and their impact on certain of our portfolio companies or in accordance with tier pricing provisions in certain loan agreements. Such modified terms may include increased PIK interest provisions and reduced cash interest rates. Any future modifications to our loan agreements, may limit the amount of interest income that we recognize from the modified investments, which may, in turn, limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. As of March 31, 2015, we had modified the payment terms of our investment in three portfolio companies. As of September 30, 2014, we had modified the payment terms of our investment in one portfolio company.
Loans and Debt Securities on Non-Accrual Status
As of March 31, 2015, September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, there were no investments on which we had stopped accruing cash interest or OID income. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, there were no income non-accrual amounts.
 Discussion and Analysis of Results and Operations
Results of Operations
The principal measure of our financial performance is the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income (loss), net realized gain (loss) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees, and other investment income and total expenses. Net realized gain (loss) on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their stated costs. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.
Comparison of the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014
Total Investment Income
Total investment income includes interest income on our investments, fee income and other investment income. Fee income consists principally of servicing, advisory, structuring and prepayment fees.
Total investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was $11.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, this amount primarily consisted of $9.6 million of interest income from portfolio investments and $2.3 million of fee income. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, this amount primarily consisted of $2.6 million of interest income from portfolio investments and $0.8 million of fee income.
Total investment income for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was $27.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2015, this amount primarily consisted of $17.5 million of interest income from portfolio investments and $10.2 million of fee income. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, this amount primarily consisted of $3.9 million of interest income from portfolio investments and $1.8 million of fee income.
The weighted average cash yield on our debt investments at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was 7.35% and 7.24%, respectively.
The increase in our total investment income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, was primarily attributable to higher average levels of outstanding debt investments,

40


which was principally due to a net increase of 25 debt investments in our portfolio year over year and an increase in fees related to investment activity, partially offset by amortization repayments received on our debt investments.
Expenses
Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 were $5.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Total expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 by $3.6 million. This was due primarily to increases in:
 
Base management fee, which was primarily attributable to a $403.8 million increase in the fair value of the investment portfolio due to an increase in net investment fundings in the year-over-year period;
Part I incentive fee, which was attributable to a $5.8 million increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income for the year-over-year period; and
Interest expense, which was attributable to a $175.0 million increase in weighted average debt outstanding for the year-over-year period.
Net expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 were $10.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Net expenses increased for the six months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2014 by $8.2 million. This was due primarily to increases in:
 
Base management fee, which was attributable to the increase in the fair value of the investment portfolio discussed above;
Part I incentive fee, which was attributable to a $17.3 million increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income for the year-over-year period; and
Interest expense, which was attributable to a $150.3 million increase in weighted average debt outstanding for the year-over-year period.
Net Investment Income
As a result of the $8.5 million increase in total investment income as compared to the $3.6 million increase in total expenses, net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 reflected a $4.9 million increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.
As a result of the $22.0 million increase in total investment income as compared to the $8.2 million increase in total expenses, net investment income for the six months ended March 31, 2015 reflected a $13.8 million increase compared to the six months ended March 31, 2014.
Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded investment realization events, including the following:
In October 2014, we received a cash payment of $6.8 million from Answers Corporation in full satisfaction of all obligations under the loan agreement. The debt investment was exited at par (plus additional fees) and no realized gain or loss was recorded on the transaction;
In December 2014, we received a cash payment of $4.9 million from Survey Sampling International, LLC in full satisfaction of all obligations under the loan agreement. The debt investment was exited at par and no realized gain or loss was recorded on the transaction; and
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, we received cash payments of $246.9 million in connection with full or partial sales of debt investments and recorded a net realized loss of $1.6 million.
During the six months ended March 31, 2014, we received cash payments of $51.9 million in connection with payoffs and open market sales of debt securities and recorded a net realized gain of $0.3 million.
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments
Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation is the net change in the fair value of our investments during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $0.8 million and $(3.6) million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 this consisted of $48,210 of net unrealized appreciation on equity investments, $408,419 of net unrealized appreciation on debt investments and $381,162 of net

41


reclassifications to realized loss on debt and equity investments (resulting in unrealized appreciation). For the six months ended March 31, 2015, this consisted of $3,907,322 of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments, offset by $20,376 of net unrealized appreciation on equity investments and $335,731 of net reclassifications to realized loss on debt and equity investments (resulting in unrealized appreciation).
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our net unrealized depreciation consisted of $314,338 of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments and $4,602 of net reclassifications to realized gains on debt investments (resulting in unrealized depreciation). For the six months ended March 31, 2014, our net unrealized depreciation consisted of $608,777 of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments and $4,602 of net reclassifications to realized gains on debt investments (resulting in unrealized depreciation).
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
We have a number of alternatives available to fund the growth of our investment portfolio and our operations, including, but not limited to, raising equity, increasing debt and funding from operational cash flow. Additionally, we may reduce investment size by syndicating a portion of any given transaction. We intend to fund our future distribution obligations through operating cash flow or with funds obtained through future equity and debt offerings or as we deem appropriate.
For the six months ended March 31, 2015, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $35.1 million. During that period, we used $294.3 million of cash in operating activities, primarily for the funding of $559.7 million of investments and net revolvers, partially offset by $271.0 million of principal payments and proceeds from the sale of investments and $17.1 million of net investment income. During the same period, cash provided by financing activities was $259.2 million, primarily consisting of $280.1 million of net borrowings under credit facilities, partially offset by $17.2 million of cash distributions paid and $3.2 million of deferred financing costs recognized.
For the six months ended March 31, 2014, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $48.7 million. During that period, we used $126.3 million of cash in operating activities, primarily for the funding of $187.0 million of investments and net revolvers, partially offset by $55.5 million of amortization payments and proceeds from the sale of investments and $3.3 million of net investment income. During the same period, cash provided by financing activities was $77.6 million, primarily consisting of $80.9 million of borrowings under our credit facility, net of $1.8 million of deferred financing costs paid and $1.4 million of dividends paid.
As of March 31, 2015, we had $72.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $5.7 million of restricted cash, portfolio investments (at fair value) of $583.6 million, distribution payable of $8.8 million, payables from unsettled transactions of $12.3 million and unfunded commitments of $41.8 million.
As of September 30, 2014, we had $107.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, $2.1 million of restricted cash, portfolio investments (at fair value) of $300.0 million, distribution payable of $8.8 million, payables from unsettled transactions of $27.9 million and unfunded commitments of $19.6 million.
Other Sources of Liquidity
We intend to continue to generate cash primarily from cash flows from operations, including interest earned, future borrowings and future offerings of our securities. Our primary use of funds is investments in our targeted asset classes and cash distributions to holders of our common stock.
Although we expect to fund the growth of our investment portfolio through the net proceeds from future equity offerings and issuances of senior securities or future borrowings to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, our plans to raise capital may not be successful. In this regard, because our common stock has at times traded at a price below our then-current net asset value per share and we are limited in our ability to sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share, we may be limited in our ability to raise equity capital.
In addition, we intend to distribute between 90% and 100% of our taxable income to our stockholders in order to satisfy the requirements applicable to RICs under Subchapter M of the Code. See "Regulated Investment Company Status and Dividends" below. Consequently, we may not have the funds or the ability to fund new investments, to make additional investments in our portfolio companies, to fund our unfunded commitments to portfolio companies or to repay borrowings. In addition, the illiquidity of our portfolio investments may make it difficult for us to sell these investments when desired and, if we are required to sell these investments, we may realize significantly less than their recorded value.

42


Also, as a business development company, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets, less liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to total senior securities, which include all of our borrowings and any outstanding preferred stock, of at least 200%. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with this requirement. The amount of leverage that we employ will depend on our assessment of market conditions and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing, such as the maturity, covenant package and rate structure of the proposed borrowings, our ability to raise funds through the issuance of shares of our common stock and the risks of such borrowings within the context of our investment outlook. Ultimately, we only intend to use leverage if the expected returns from borrowing to make investments will exceed the cost of such borrowing. To fund growth in our investment portfolio in the future, we anticipate needing to raise additional capital from various sources, including the equity markets and the securitization or other debt-related markets, which may or may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

_______________________
(1) Shares were purchased on the open market and distributed.
On July 17, 2013, we completed an initial public offering of 6,666,668 shares of our common stock at the public offering price of $15.00 per share. The proceeds totaled $100.0 million and all offering costs were borne by our investment adviser, including $5.3 million of underwriting commissions and $0.4 million of other offering related expenses.
On August 19, 2014, we completed a follow-on public offering of 22,800,000 shares of our common stock at the public offering price of $12.91. The net proceeds totaled $276.2 million after deducting underwriting commissions of $17.7 million and offering costs of $0.5 million.
Borrowings
Natixis Facility
On November 1, 2013, FS Senior Funding LLC, our wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary entered into the $100 million revolving credit Natixis facility with the lenders referred to therein, Natixis, New York Branch, as administrative agent, and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent and custodian.
Borrowings under the Natixis facility are subject to certain customary advance rates and accrue interest at a rate equal to either the applicable commercial paper rate (subject to an overall cap) plus 1.90% in the case of a lender that is a commercial paper conduit or otherwise the three-month LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum. In addition, there is a commitment fee payable on the undrawn amount under the credit facility equal to 1.00% (or 0.50% for the first six months after the closing date) of such undrawn amount. Interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears. The reinvestment period under the credit facility ends 18 months after the closing date and the credit facility will mature on November 1, 2021.
On October 16, 2014, we entered into agreements to expand the Natixis facility from $100 million to $200 million, including a $100 million term loan and a $100 million revolving credit facility. Fifth Third Bank ("Fifth Third") also joined the facility as a term loan lender.  The $50 million term loan provided by Fifth Third is priced at LIBOR plus 2% per annum, and the $100 million revolving credit facility and $50 million term loan provided by Natixis, New York Branch, are priced at the applicable commercial paper rate plus 1.9% per annum. The facility maturity date remains unchanged.

43


As of March 31, 2015, we had $183.4 million of borrowings outstanding under the Natixis facility. Borrowings under the Natixis facility, if any, are secured by all of the assets of FS Senior Funding LLC and all of our equity interest in FS Senior Funding LLC. We may use the Natixis facility to fund a portion of FS Senior Funding LLC's loan origination activities and for general corporate purposes. Each loan origination under the Natixis facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Our borrowings under the Natixis facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.242% and 2.180% for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded interest expense of $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, related to the Natixis facility. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to the Natixis facility.
Citibank Facility
On January 15, 2015, FS Senior Funding II LLC, our wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, entered into a $175 million revolving credit facility (the "Citibank facility") with the lenders referred to therein, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N. A., as collateral agent and custodian.
Borrowings under the Citibank facility are subject to certain customary advance rates and accrue interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum on broadly syndicated loans and LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum on all other eligible loans during the reinvestment period. In addition, there is a commitment fee payable on the undrawn amount under the credit facility of either 0.50% per annum on the unused amount of the credit facility (if the advances outstanding on the credit facility exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments by lenders to make advances on such day) or 0.75% per annum on the unused amount of the credit facility (if the advances outstanding on the credit facility do not exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments by lenders to make advances on such day) for the duration of the reinvestment period. Interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears. The reinvestment period under the credit facility ends three years after the closing date and the credit facility will mature on January 15, 2020.
As of March 31, 2015, we had $96.7 million outstanding under the Citibank facility. Borrowings under the Citibank facility are secured by all of the assets of FS Senior Funding II LLC and all of our equity interest in FS Senior Funding II LLC. We may use the Citibank facility to fund a portion of its loan origination activities and for general corporate purposes. Each loan origination under the Citibank facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Our borrowings under the Citibank facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.511% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded interest expense of $0.6 million related to the Citibank facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We may be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, our only off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $41.8 million and $19.6 million, respectively, of unfunded commitments to provide debt financing to certain of our portfolio companies. Such commitments are subject to our portfolio companies' satisfaction of certain financial and nonfinancial covenants and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are not reflected on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Regulated Investment Company Status and Distributions
We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As long as we continue to qualify as a RIC, we will not be taxed on our investment company taxable income or realized net capital gains, to the extent that such taxable income or gains are distributed, or deemed to be distributed, to stockholders on a timely basis.
Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation until realized. Distributions declared and paid by us in a year may differ from taxable income for that year as such distributions may include the distribution of current year taxable income or the distribution of prior year taxable income carried forward into and distributed in the current year. Distributions also may include returns of capital.
To maintain RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, distribute, with respect to each taxable year, at least 90% of our investment company net taxable income (i.e., our net ordinary income and our realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any). As a RIC, we are also subject to a U.S. federal excise tax, based on distributive requirements of our taxable income on a calendar year basis (e.g., calendar year 2014). We anticipate timely distribution of our taxable income within the tax rules; however, we incurred a de minimis U.S. federal excise tax for calendar year 2013. We do not expect to incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar year 2014. We may incur a U.S. federal excise tax in future years.
We intend to distribute to our stockholders between 90% and 100% of our annual taxable income (which includes our taxable interest and fee income). In addition, we may retain for investment some or all of our net taxable capital gains (i.e., realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses) and treat such amounts as deemed distributions to our stockholders. If we do this, our stockholders will be treated as if they received actual distributions of the capital gains we retained and then reinvested the net after-tax proceeds in our common stock. Our stockholders also may be eligible to claim tax credits (or, in certain circumstances, tax refunds) equal to their allocable share of the tax we paid on the capital gains deemed distributed to them. To the extent our taxable earnings for a fiscal taxable year fall below the total amount

45


of our dividends for that fiscal year, a portion of those dividend distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders.
We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage test for borrowings applicable to us as a business development company under the 1940 Act and due to provisions in our Natixis facility. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our taxable income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our status as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions or distributions at a particular level.
In accordance with certain applicable Treasury regulations and private letter rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service, a RIC may treat a distribution of its own stock as fulfilling its RIC distribution requirements if each stockholder may elect to receive his or her entire distribution in either cash or stock of the RIC, subject to a limitation that the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders must be at least 20% of the aggregate declared distribution. If too many stockholders elect to receive cash, each stockholder electing to receive cash must receive a pro rata amount of cash (with the balance of the distribution paid in stock). In no event will any stockholder, electing to receive cash, receive less than 20% of his or her entire distribution in cash. If these and certain other requirements are met, for U.S federal income tax purposes, the amount of the dividend paid in stock will be equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of stock. We have no current intention of paying dividends in shares of our stock in accordance with these Treasury regulations or private letter rulings.
Related Party Transactions
We have entered into an investment advisory agreement with Fifth Street Management. Messrs. Berman and Dimitrov, each an interested member of our Board of Directors, have a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in Fifth Street Management. Fifth Street Management is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Adviser's Act of 1940, that is partially and indirectly owned by Fifth Street Asset Management Inc. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, fees payable to our investment adviser will be equal to (a) a base management fee of 1.0% of the average value of our gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed quarters, which includes any borrowings for investment purposes and excludes cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and (b) an incentive fee based on our performance. The incentive fee consists of two parts. The income incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals 20% of our "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a preferred return, or "hurdle," and a "catch up" feature. The capital gains incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the investment advisory agreement) and equals 20% of our "Incentive Fee Capital Gains," which equals our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of the year, if any, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fee. The investment advisory agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon no fewer than 60 days' written notice to the other. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred fees of $2.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively, under the investment advisory agreement. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred fees of $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, under the investment advisory agreement.
Pursuant to the administration agreement with FSC CT LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our investment adviser, FSC CT will furnish us with the facilities, including our principal executive offices and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations, including equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services at such facilities. In addition, FSC CT assists us in connection with the determination and publishing of our net asset value, the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders. We pay FSC CT its allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by FSC CT in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including a portion of the rent at market rates and the compensation of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. The administration agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon no fewer than 60 days' written notice to the other. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred expenses of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, under the administration agreements. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred expenses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, under the administration agreements.
We have also entered into a license agreement with Fifth Street Capital LLC pursuant to which Fifth Street Capital LLC has agreed to grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name "Fifth Street." Under this agreement, we will have a right to use the "Fifth Street" name for so long as Fifth Street Management LLC or one of its affiliates remains our investment adviser. Other than with respect to this limited license, we will have no legal right to the "Fifth Street" name. Fifth Street Capital LLC is controlled by Mr. Tannenbaum, our investment adviser's chief executive officer.

Recent Developments
In April 2015, we invested $53.4 million in FSFR Glick JV LLC ("FSFR Glick JV") to facilitate the acquisition of $94.4 million in principal amount of senior secured loans. FSFR Glick JV has drawn $34.4 million under its $200.0 million revolving credit facility with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC. These transactions were in connection with our agreement in November 2014 with entities controlled by members of the Glick Family ("GF Funding") to provide $100.0 million of subordinated notes and equity to the FSFR Glick JV, with us providing $87.5 million and GF Funding providing $12.5 million. The FSFR Glick JV invests in middle market and other corporate debt securities. In future reporting periods, our debt and equity investment in the FSFR Glick JV will be accounted for as a control investment within the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect both our cost of funding and our interest income from portfolio investments, cash and cash equivalents and idle funds investments. Our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs. Our investment income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates, to the extent our debt investments include floating interest rates. In accordance with applicable loan agreements, certain of our portfolio companies may elect benchmark indices with various tenors on which to base the floating interest rate accruals on their loans, either in whole or in part. For example, if a borrower elects to pay interest at a floating rate that is indexed to the 30-day or 90-day LIBOR rate, the interest rate on the borrowing would be locked at such interest rate for 30 days or 90 days, respectively, at which time the borrower would again elect a rate for the subsequent period. Further, certain of our portfolio companies may elect from time to time to split the total principal balances of their loans between multiple benchmark indices for a given period. In addition, our investments are carried at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors in accordance with the 1940 Act (See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies — Investment Valuation"). Our valuation methodology utilizes discount rates in part in valuing our investments, and changes in those discount rates may have an impact on the valuation of our investments.
As of March 31, 2015, 100% of our debt investment portfolio (at cost and fair value) bore interest at floating rates and had interest rate floors between 1% and 2%. As of September 30, 2014, 100% of our debt investment portfolio (at cost and fair value) bore interest at floating rates and had interest rate floors between 1% and 2%.
Based on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2015, the following table shows the approximate annualized increase (decrease) in components of net assets resulting from operations of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates, assuming no changes in our investment and capital structure. However, there can be no assurances our portfolio companies will be able to meet their contractual obligations at any or all levels of increases in interest rates.

We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on this review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates. The following table shows a comparison of the interest rate base for our interest-bearing cash and outstanding investments, at principal, and our outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014:

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
All controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in timely identifying, recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting any material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.     Legal Proceedings
Although we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of our operations in the normal course of business or otherwise, we are currently not a party to any pending material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries, which may subject us to a risk of significant loss if there is a downturn in a particular industry in which a number of our investments are concentrated. As of March 31, 2015, our investments in the internet software and services industry represented approximately 28% of the fair value of our portfolio and our investments in the healthcare services industry represented approximately 18% of the fair value of our portfolio. If an industry in which we have significant investments suffers from adverse business or economic conditions, as these industries have to varying degrees, a material portion of our investment portfolio could be affected adversely, which, in turn, could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
Healthcare companies often must obtain and maintain regulatory approvals to market many of their products, change prices for certain regulated products and consummate some of their acquisitions and divestitures. Delays in obtaining or failing to obtain or maintain these approvals could reduce revenue or increase costs. Policy changes on the local, state and federal level, such as the expansion of the government’s role in the healthcare arena and alternative assessments and tax increases specific to the healthcare industry or healthcare products as part of federal health care reform initiatives, could fundamentally change the dynamics of the healthcare industry. There have been no other material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014.
