Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp.
Consolidated Schedule of Investments
December 31, 2016
(unaudited)



(1)
All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise noted. Equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted.
(2)
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition by geographic region.
(3)
Control Investments generally are defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("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 generally 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 includes accumulated payment in kind ("PIK") interest and is net of repayments, if any.
(6)
Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments are 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. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets. As of December 31, 2016, qualifying assets represent 86.8% of the Company's total assets and non-qualifying assets represent 13.2% of the Company's total assets.
(8)
The interest rate on 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:

+ 0.375% on First Lien Term Loan
 
 
 
 Per loan amendment
(10)
Each of the Company's investments is pledged as collateral under one or more of its credit facilities or its debt securitization. A single investment may be divided into parts that are individually pledged as collateral to separate credit facilities.
(11)
Investment has undrawn commitments. A negative cost basis may result from unamortized fees. Unamortized fees are classified as unearned income which reduces cost basis.
(12)
As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be both an "Affiliated Person" of and to "Control" this portfolio company as the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company's outstanding voting securities or has the power to exercise control over management or policies of such portfolio company (including through a management agreement). See Schedule 12-14 in the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for transactions during the year ended December 31, 2016 in which the issuer was both an Affiliated Person and a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to control.
(13)
Investment pledged as collateral under the Company's 2015 Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 6 Borrowings), in whole or in part.
(14)
Income producing through payment of dividends or distributions.
(15)
Equity ownership may be held in shares or units of companies related to the portfolio companies.
(16)
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition.

(1)
All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise noted. Equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted.
(2)
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition by geographic region.
(3)
Control Investments generally are defined by the 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 generally are defined by the 1940 Act as investments in companies in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities.
(5)

(6)
Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments are 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. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets. As of September 30, 2016, qualifying assets represent 84.9% of the Company's total assets and non-qualifying assets represent 15.1% of the Company's total assets.
(8)
The interest rate on 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.

Investment has undrawn commitments. A negative cost basis may result from unamortized fees. Unamortized fees are classified as unearned income which reduces cost basis.
(12)
As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be both an "Affiliated Person" of and to "Control" this portfolio company as the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company's outstanding voting securities or has the power to exercise control over management or policies of such portfolio company (including through a management agreement). See Schedule 12-14 in the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for transactions during the year ended September 30, 2016 in which the issuer was both an Affiliated Person and a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to control.

In April 2016, the Company restructured its debt investment in Ameritox Ltd. As a part of the restructuring, the Company exchanged cash and its debt securities for debt and equity securities in the newly restructured entity.
(16)
The sale of this loan does not qualify for true sale accounting under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 860 - Transfers and Servicing ("ASC 860"), and therefore, the entire debt investment remains in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Accordingly, the fair value of the Company's debt investments includes $5.0 million related to the Company's secured borrowings.

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


Note 1. Organization
Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company and has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. The Company has qualified and elected to be treated as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), for tax purposes.
The Company's investment objective is to maximize its portfolio's total return by generating current income from its debt investments while seeking to preserve its capital. The Company invests primarily in senior secured loans, including first lien, unitranche and second lien debt instruments, that pay interest at rates which are determined periodically on the basis of a floating base lending rate, made to private middle market companies whose debt is rated below investment grade. The Company also has an investment in a joint venture that invests in similar types of loans. The Company may also invest in senior unsecured loans issued by private middle market companies and, to a lesser extent, subordinated loans issued by private middle market companies, senior and subordinated loans issued by public companies and equity investments.
The Company is externally managed by Fifth Street Management LLC (the "Investment Adviser"), an indirect, partially-owned subsidiary of Fifth Street Asset Management Inc. ("FSAM"), a publicly traded alternative asset manager, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. FSC CT LLC ("FSC CT"), a subsidiary of the Investment Adviser, also provides certain administrative and other services necessary for the Company to operate.

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 pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q 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. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in FASB ASC Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies ("ASC 946").
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the 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. Changes in the economic and political environments, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ and such differences could be material. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments and revenue recognition.
Consolidation:
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Each consolidated subsidiary is wholly-owned and, as such, consolidated into the Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain of the subsidiaries that hold investments are treated as pass through entities for tax purposes. The assets of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries are not directly available to satisfy the claims of the creditors of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2016, the Company's consolidated subsidiaries were FS Senior Funding CLO LLC, FS Senior Funding II LLC and FS Senior Funding Ltd.
Since the Company is an investment company, portfolio investments held by the Company are not consolidated into the Consolidated Financial Statements. The portfolio investments held by the Company are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as investments at fair value.

Fair Value Measurements:
The Company values its investments in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), which 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. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices derived from such prices over entity-specific inputs. Where observable prices or inputs are not

21

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


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.
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.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. Generally, it is expected that all of the Company's investment securities will be valued using Level 3 inputs. This includes investment securities that are valued using "bid" and "ask" prices obtained from independent third party pricing services or directly from brokers. 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 adjustments for investment-specific factors or restrictions.
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 Investment Adviser'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.
The Investment Adviser 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 may be valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, the Investment Adviser 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 Investment Adviser does not adjust the prices unless it has a reason to believe any such market quotations are not reflective of the fair value of an investment. Examples of events that would cause market quotations to not reflect fair value 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, which may include the bond yield approach discussed below and a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the credit quality and market trends affecting the portfolio company.
The Company performs detailed valuations of its debt and equity investments for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to represent fair value of the investments. The Company typically uses two different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value ("EV") of the portfolio company. EV means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The primary method for determining EV uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company's EBITDA (generally defined as earnings before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization). EBITDA multiples are typically determined based upon review of market comparable transactions and publicly traded comparable companies, if any. The Company may also employ other valuation multiples to determine EV, such as revenues. The second method for determining EV uses a discounted cash flow analysis whereby future expected cash flows of the portfolio company are discounted to determine a present value using estimated discount rates (typically a weighted average cost of capital based on costs of debt and equity consistent with current market conditions). The EV analysis is typically performed to determine the value of equity investments, to determine if there is credit impairment for debt investments and to determine the value for debt investments that the Company is deemed to control under the 1940 Act. If debt investments are credit impaired, an EV analysis may be used to value such debt investments; however, in addition to the methods outlined above, other alternative methods such as an asset liquidation model, expected recovery model or a recent observable or pending transaction may be utilized to estimate EV. The second valuation technique is a bond yield approach, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments. To determine fair value using a bond

22

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


yield approach, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk. In the bond yield approach, the Company considers the current contractual interest rate, the capital structure and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the EV of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by the Company are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Company depends on primary market data, including newly funded transactions and industry specific market movements, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.
In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that qualify as investment companies in accordance with ASC 946 may be valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value.
The Company estimates the fair value of privately held warrants using a Black Scholes pricing model, which includes an analysis of various factors and subjective assumptions including 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 by the Investment Adviser's valuation team in conjunction with the Investment Adviser's portfolio management and capital markets teams;
Preliminary valuations are then reviewed and discussed with principals of the Investment Adviser;
Separately, independent valuation firms engaged by the Board of Directors prepare 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 and provide such reports to the Investment Adviser and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors;
The Investment Adviser compares and contrasts its preliminary valuations to the valuations of the independent valuation firms and prepares a valuation report for the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors;
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the preliminary valuations with the portfolio managers of the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser responds and supplements the preliminary valuations to reflect any discussions between the Investment Adviser and 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 level 3 investments in the Company's portfolio; and
The Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each level 3 investment in the Company's portfolio.
The fair value of each of the Company's investments at December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016 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. As of December 31, 2016, 62.8% of the Company's portfolio at fair value was valued either using market quotations or by independent valuation firms. The percentage of our portfolio valued by independent valuation firms may vary from period to period based on the availability of market quotations for our portfolio investments during the respective periods. 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 and Dividend 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. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest cash payments will be collected. Cash interest payments received on investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Such non-accrual

23

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


investments are restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest are paid in cash, and in management’s judgment, the portfolio company is likely to continue timely payment of its remaining interest.
In connection with its investment, the Company sometimes receives nominal cost equity that is valued as part of the negotiation process with the particular portfolio company. When the Company receives nominal cost equity, the Company allocates its cost basis in its investment between its debt securities and its nominal cost equity at the time of origination. Any resulting discount from recording the loan, or otherwise purchasing a security at a discount, is accreted into interest income over the life of the loan.
For the Company’s secured borrowings, if any, the interest earned on the entire loan balance is recorded within interest income and the interest earned by the buyer from the loan sales is recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company generally recognizes dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from equity investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments as dividend income unless there are sufficient earnings at the portfolio company prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.
PIK Interest
The Company has investments in debt securities which contain 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.     PIK interest on certain of the Company's debt investments, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company generally ceases accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if the Company does not expect the portfolio company to be able to pay all principal and interest due. The Company's decision to cease accruing PIK interest involves 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; the Company's 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 the Company 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, the Company determines whether to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security. The Company's determination to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security is generally made well before the Company's full write-down of such loan or debt security.
Fee Income
Fee income consists of the monthly servicing fees, advisory fees, amendment fees, structuring fees and prepayment fees that the Company receives in connection with its debt investments. These fees are recognized as earned.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:
Cash and 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 and 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. Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 assets and are included on the Company's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
As of December 31, 2016, included in restricted cash was $7.5 million that was held at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in connection with the Company's Citibank facility and 2015 Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 6 — Borrowings). Pursuant to the terms of the Citibank facility, the Company is restricted in terms of access to $3.0 million of that amount until such time as the Company submits its required monthly reporting schedules. As of December 31, 2016, $4.5 million of cash held in connection with the 2015 Debt Securitization was restricted due to the obligation to pay interest on the notes under the terms of the 2015 Debt Securitization.
As of September 30, 2016, included in restricted cash was $9.0 million that was held at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in connection with the Company's Citibank facility and 2015 Debt Securitization. Pursuant to the terms of the Citibank facility, the Company is restricted in terms of access to $3.5 million until such time as the Company submits its required monthly reporting schedules. As of September 30, 2016, $5.5 million of cash held in connection with the 2015 Debt Securitization was restricted due to the obligation to pay interest on the notes under the terms of the 2015 Debt Securitization.


24

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


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).
Receivables/Payables from Unsettled Transactions:
Receivables/payables from unsettled transactions consists of amounts receivable to or payable by the Company for transactions that have not settled at the reporting date.
Deferred Financing Costs:
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs which requires debt 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. Additionally, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, which provides further clarification on the same topic and states that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") would not object to the deferral and presentation of debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequent amortization of the deferred costs over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company adopted the guidance for debt arrangements that are not line-of-credit arrangements for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and applied a retrospective approach. As a result of the adoption, the Company reclassified $2.5 million of deferred financing costs assets to a direct deduction from the related debt liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2016. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on net assets or the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Deferred financing costs consist of fees and expenses paid in connection with the closing or amending of credit facilities and debt offerings. Deferred financing costs in connection with credit facilities are capitalized as an asset at the time of payment. Deferred financing costs in connection with all other debt arrangements are a direct deduction from the related debt liability at the time of payment. Deferred financing costs are amortized either using the straight line method or effective interest method over the terms of the respective debt arrangement, as appropriate. This amortization expense is included in interest expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Upon early termination of a credit facility, the remaining balance of unamortized fees related to such facility is accelerated into interest expense.
Offering Costs:
Offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the Company's common stock, including legal, accounting and printing fees. The Company charges offering costs to capital at the time of an offering. There were no offering costs charged to capital during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Amounts Payable to Syndication Partners:
The Company acts as administrative agent for certain loans it originates and then syndicates. As administrative agent, the Company receives interest, principal and/or other payments from borrowers that gets redistributed to syndication partners. If not redistributed by the reporting date, a payable is recorded to syndication partners on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Secured Borrowings:
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 860 when accounting for loan participations and other loan sales. Such guidance provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and requires a participation or other partial loan sales to meet the definition of a "participating interest," as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other loan sales which do not meet the definition of a participating interest or which are not eligible for sale accounting remain on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the proceeds are recorded as secured borrowings until the definition is met. Secured borrowings are carried at fair value to correspond with the related investments, which are carried at fair value. See Note 6 for additional information.
Fair Value Option:
The Company elected the fair value option for its secured borrowings under FASB ASC Topic 825 Financial Instruments - Fair Value Option ("ASC 825"). The Company believes that by electing the fair value option for these financial instruments, it provides consistent measurement of the assets and liabilities which relate to the loan sales mentioned above.

25

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


However, the Company has not elected the fair value option to report other selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. With the exception of the line items entitled "deferred financing costs", "credit facilities payable", and "notes payable," which are reported at amortized cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying value of the line items titled "interest, dividends, and fees receivable," "due from portfolio companies," "receivables from unsettled transactions," "accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities," "base management fee and incentive fee payable," "due to FSC CT," "interest payable," "amounts payable to syndication partners," "director fees payable" and "payables from unsettled transactions" approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Income Taxes:
The Company has elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute dividends to its stockholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, for each taxable year. As a RIC, the Company is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed currently to stockholders as a dividend. Depending on the level of taxable income earned during a taxable year, the Company may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions and would distribute such taxable income in the next taxable year. The Company would then incur a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar year basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. The Company anticipates timely distribution of its taxable income in accordance with the tax rules under Subchapter M of the Code. The Company did not incur a federal excise tax for calendar years 2014 and 2015 and does not expect to incur a federal excise tax for calendar year 2016. The Company may incur a federal excise tax in future years.
The Company holds certain portfolio investments through taxable subsidiaries. The purpose of the Company's taxable subsidiaries is to permit the Company to hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are "pass through" entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes in order to comply with the RIC tax requirements. The taxable subsidiaries are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and portfolio investments held by them are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as portfolio investments and recorded at fair value. The taxable subsidiaries are not consolidated with the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of their ownership of certain portfolio investments. This income tax expense, if any, would be reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for its taxable subsidiaries' income taxes. Using this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax benefits associated with net operating loss carry forwards that it may use to offset future tax obligations. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which it expects to recover or settle those temporary differences.
FASB ASC Topic 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. Management has analyzed the Company's tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2013, 2014 or 2015. 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 ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Principal versus Agent Considerations. This ASU is intended to clarify revenue recognition accounting when a third party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer. In April

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. This ASU is intended to clarify two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. This ASU amends certain aspects of ASU 2014-09, addresses certain implementation issues identified and clarifies the new revenue standards’ core revenue recognition principles. The new standards will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted on the original effective date of January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that new standards will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements and its ongoing financial reporting.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company on a prospective basis beginning for the annual fiscal 2017 period and is not expected to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). The update eliminates the requirement to categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy if their fair value is measured at net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance. Public companies are required to apply ASU 2015-07 retrospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2015-07 during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and determined that the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall ("ASU 2016-01"), which makes limited amendments to the guidance in GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The new standard significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein.  Early adoption is permitted specifically for the amendments pertaining to the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value.  Early adoption of all other amendments is not permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to make a cumulative-effect adjustment to the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.  The Company did not early adopt the new guidance during the three months ended December 31, 2016. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-01 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The amendment should be adopted retrospectively. The Company did not early adopt the new guidance during the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Note 3. Portfolio Investments
At December 31, 2016, 168.8% of net assets at fair value, or $540.1 million, was invested in 61 portfolio investments, including 19.3% of net assets, or $61.7 million, in subordinated notes and limited liability company ("LLC") equity interests of FSFR Glick JV LLC (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "FSFR Glick JV"), and 13.7% of net assets, or $43.7 million, was invested in cash and cash equivalents (including $7.5 million of restricted cash).

These investments are generally not redeemable. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
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 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 (i.e. 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 following table provides a roll-forward in the changes in fair value from September 30, 2016 to December 31, 2016, for all investments and secured borrowings for which the Company determined fair value using unobservable (Level 3) 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.
(d) Used when there is an observable transaction or pending event for the investment.
(e) 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 of the Company's Board of Directors in conjunction with additional information compiled by the Company, including financial performance, recent business developments and various other factors.

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). Increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively.

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


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 and EBITDA/Revenue multiple. Increases or decreases in a portfolio company's weighted average cost of capital or company specific risk premium in isolation may result in a lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively. Increases or decreases in the revenue growth rate or valuation multiples in isolation may result in a higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.

FSFR Glick JV LLC
In October 2014, the Company entered into an LLC agreement with GF Equity Funding 2014 LLC ("GF Equity Funding") to form FSFR Glick JV. On April 21, 2015, FSFR Glick JV began investing primarily in senior secured loans of middle market companies. The Company co-invests in these securities with GF Equity Funding through its investment in FSFR Glick JV. FSFR Glick JV is managed by a four person Board of Directors, two of whom are selected by the Company and two of whom are selected by GF Equity Funding. FSFR Glick JV is capitalized as transactions are completed, and portfolio decisions and investment decisions in respect of FSFR Glick JV must be approved by an investment committee of FSFR Glick JV consisting of one representative of the Company and one representative of GF Equity Funding (with approval of each required). The members provide capital to FSFR Glick JV in exchange for LLC equity interests, and the Company and GF Debt Funding 2014 LLC ("GF Debt Funding"), an entity advised by affiliates of GF Equity Funding, provide capital to FSFR Glick JV in exchange for subordinated notes (the "Subordinated Notes").

The Subordinated Notes are junior in right of payment to the repayment of temporary contributions made by the Company to fund investments of FSFR Glick JV. FSFR Glick JV's portfolio consisted of middle market and other corporate debt securities of 32 and 36 "eligible portfolio companies" (as defined in the Section 2(a)(46) of the 1940 Act) as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

Distributions
Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Company is required to distribute dividends each taxable year to its stockholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of its investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for dividend paid, in order to be eligible for tax benefits allowed to a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. The Company anticipates paying out as a distribution 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. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed, although the Company may decide to retain such net realized capital gains for investment.
The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Company’s Board of Directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash distribution, then the Company’s stockholders who have not “opted out” of the Company’s DRIP will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution. If the Company’s shares are trading at a premium to net asset value, the Company typically issues new shares to implement the DRIP. If the Company’s shares are trading at a discount to net asset value, the Company typically purchases shares in the open market in connection with the Company’s obligations under the DRIP.
For income tax purposes, the Company estimates that its distributions for the calendar year will be composed primarily of ordinary income, and the actual character of such distributions will be appropriately reported to the Internal Revenue Service and stockholders for the calendar year. To the extent that the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the amount of distributions paid, a portion of the total amount of the Company’s distributions for the fiscal year may be deemed a return of capital for tax purposes to the Company’s stockholders.

On May 28, 2015, the Company completed its $309.0 million 2015 Debt Securitization consisting of $222.6 million in senior secured notes ("2015 Notes") and $86.4 million of unsecured subordinated notes ("Subordinated 2015 Notes"). The notes offered in the 2015 Debt Securitization were issued by FS Senior Funding Ltd. (the "2015 Issuer"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, through a private placement. The 2015 Notes are secured by the assets held by the 2015 Issuer. The 2015 Debt Securitization consists of $126.0 million Class A-T Senior Secured 2015 Notes which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.80% per annum; $29.0 million Class A-S Senior Secured 2015 Notes which bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.55% per annum, with a step-up in spread to 2.10% to occur in October 2016; $20.0 million Class A-R Senior Secured Revolving 2015 Notes which bear interest at a rate of Commercial Paper ("CP") plus 1.80% per annum, collectively, the "Class A Notes;" and $25.0 million Class B Senior Secured 2015 Notes which bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.65% per annum (the "Class B Notes"). In partial consideration for the loans transferred to the 2015 Issuer as part of the 2015 Debt Securitization, the Company currently retains the entire $22.6 million of the Class C Senior Secured 2015 Notes (which the Company purchased at 98.0% of par value) (the "Class C Notes") and the entire $86.4 million of the Subordinated 2015 Notes. The Class A Notes and Class B Notes are included in the Company's December 31, 2016 Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as notes payable. As of December 31, 2016, the Class C Notes and the Subordinated 2015 Notes were eliminated in consolidation.
    
The Company serves as collateral manager to the 2015 Issuer under a collateral management agreement. The Company is entitled
to a fee for its services as collateral manager. The Company has retained Fifth Street Management LLC, the Company’s Investment Adviser, to furnish collateral management sub-advisory services to the Company pursuant to a sub-collateral management agreement. Fifth Street Management LLC has irrevocably waived and intends to continue to irrevocably waive its right to such sub-collateral management fees in respect of the 2015 Debt Securitization.

The collateral management agreement does not include any incentive fee payable to the Company as collateral manager or payable to Fifth Street Management LLC as sub-advisor under the sub-collateral management agreement.

Through May 28, 2019, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the 2015 Issuer to purchase new collateral under the direction of the Investment Adviser in its capacity as sub-collateral manager of the 2015 Issuer and in accordance with the Company's investment strategy. All 2015 Notes are scheduled to mature on May 28, 2025.
 
As of December 31, 2016, there were 49 investments in portfolio companies with a total fair value of $257.5 million, securing the 2015 Notes. The pool of loans in the 2015 Debt Securitization must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the components of interest expense, cash paid for interest, average interest rates and average outstanding balances for the 2015 Debt Securitization were as follows:

     The proceeds of the private placement of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes of the 2015 Issuer, net of debt issuance costs, may be used to fund a portion of the 2015 Issuer's loan origination activities and for general corporate purposes. The creditors of the 2015 Issuer have received security interests in the assets owned by the 2015 Issuer and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of the Company (or any other affiliate of the Company). As part of the 2015 Debt Securitization, the Company entered into master loan sale agreements under which the Company agreed to directly or indirectly sell or contribute certain senior secured debt investments (or participation interests therein) to the 2015 Issuer, and to purchase or otherwise acquire the Subordinated 2015 Notes, as applicable. The 2015 Notes are the secured obligations of the 2015 Issuer and indentures governing the 2015 Notes include customary covenants and events of default. The 2015 Debt Securitization requires the Company to comply with certain monthly financial covenants, including overcollateralization and interest coverage tests.

Secured Borrowings
See Note 2 "Secured Borrowings" for a description of the Company's accounting treatment of secured borrowings.

As of September 30, 2016, secured borrowings at fair value totaled $5.0 million and the fair value of the investment that is
associated with these secured borrowings was $5.0 million. These secured borrowings were the result of the Company's completion of a
loan sale of a senior secured debt investment that did not meet the definition of a participating interest. As a result, sale treatment was
not allowed and this loan sale was treated as a secured borrowing.

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company repaid the $5.0 million of secured borrowings in connection with the sale of the investment associated with these secured borrowings.

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: (1) unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and secured borrowings, as gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized; (2) origination fees received in connection with investments in portfolio companies; (3) recognition of interest income on certain loans; and (4) income or loss recognition on exited investments.
Listed below is a reconciliation of net increase in net assets resulting from operations to taxable income for the three months ended December 31, 2016:

The Company's taxable income for the three months ended December 31, 2016 is an estimate and will not be finally determined until the Company files its tax return for the fiscal and taxable year ending September 30, 2017. Therefore, the final taxable income may be different than the estimate.
As of September 30, 2016, the components of accumulated undistributed income on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income, net
$
2,459,655

Net realized capital losses
(12,690,311

Unrealized losses, net
(16,980,523

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


The effect of the permanent book/tax reclassifications during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 resulted in an increase (decrease) to the components of net assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2016 as follows:
Undistributed net investment income
$
2,640,496

Accumulated net realized loss on investments
(3,755,949
)
Additional paid-in capital
(1,115,453
)
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. 
The Company is permitted to carry forward any net capital losses, if any, incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during such taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the capital losses incurred in taxable years ended prior to the Company's tax year ended September 30, 2011, which are subject to an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards from the Company's tax year ended prior to its tax year ended September 30, 2011 may be more likely to expire unused.
As a RIC, the Company is also subject to a federal excise tax based on distribution requirements of its taxable income on a calendar year basis. The Company anticipates timely distribution of its taxable income in accordance with tax rules. The Company did not incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar years 2014 and 2015 and does not expect to incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar year 2016.
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 three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company received cash payments of $76.9 million in connection with full or partial sales of debt investments and recorded a net realized loss of $0.1 million.
For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded net unrealized depreciation of $5.2 million. This consisted of $7.7 million of net unrealized depreciation on equity investments, offset by $2.2 million of net unrealized appreciation on debt investments and $0.3 million of net reclassifications to realized loss (resulting in unrealized appreciation).
For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded net unrealized depreciation of $20.3 million. This consisted of $16.9 million of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments, $3.0 million of net unrealized depreciation on equity investments and $0.4 million of net reclassifications to realized gains (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 months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, base management fees (net of waivers, if any) were $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
Incentive Fee
The incentive fee portion of the investment advisory agreement has two parts. The first part ("Part I 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,

49

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


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 OID, 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 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, 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 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 is payable to the Investment Adviser once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved.
There is no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and accordingly there is no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the quarterly hurdle and there is no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the quarterly hurdle.
For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Part I incentive fee was $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
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. For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was no Part II incentive fee. From inception to date, the Company has paid aggregate Part II incentive fees of approximately $0.1 million.
GAAP requires the Company to accrue for the theoretical capital gain incentive fee that would be payable after giving effect to the net unrealized capital appreciation. A fee so calculated and accrued would not be payable under the investment advisory agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of capital gain incentive fees in subsequent periods. Amounts ultimately paid under the investment advisory agreement will be consistent with the formula reflected in the investment advisory agreement. The Company does not currently accrue for capital gain incentive fees due to the accumulated realized and unrealized losses in the portfolio.
At December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the Company had a liability on its Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $2.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, reflecting the unpaid portion of the base management fee and incentive fees payable to the Investment Adviser.
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 Investment Adviser and its officers, managers, partners, members (and their members, including the owners of their members), agents, employees, controlling persons 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 Investment Adviser.
Administration Agreement
On January 1, 2015, the Company entered into an administration agreement with its administrator, FSC CT LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Adviser ("FSC CT"), under substantially similar terms as its prior administration agreement with FSC CT,

50

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


Inc. Under the administration agreement, FSC CT provides administrative services for the Company, including providing the Company with office facilities, including its principal executive offices, and equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services at such facilities. Under the administration agreement, FSC CT also performs or oversees the performance of the Company's required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to the Company's stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, FSC CT assists the Company in determining and publishing the Company's net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of the Company's tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to the Company's stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of the Company's expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. FSC CT may also provide, on behalf of the Company, managerial assistance to its portfolio companies. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimburses FSC CT the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by FSC CT in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including rent, the Company's allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of the Company's chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their staffs. Such reimbursement is at cost with no profit to, or markup by, FSC CT. The Company utilizes office space in Greenwich, CT that is leased by FSC CT from an affiliate controlled by the chief executive officer of the Investment Adviser and FSC CT, Mr. Leonard M. Tannenbaum. The Company also utilizes additional office space that is leased by affiliates of the Investment Adviser and FSC CT in Chicago, IL. Any reimbursement for a portion of the rent at these locations is at cost with no profit to, or markup by, FSC CT. FSC CT may also provide, on the Company's behalf, managerial assistance to the Company's portfolio companies. The administration agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days' written notice to the other party.
For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company accrued administrative expenses of $0.5 million, including $0.4 million of general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company accrued administrative expenses of $0.3 million, including $0.1 million of general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was included in Due to FSC CT in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Common stock held by FSAM
As of December 31, 2016, a subsidiary of FSAM held 2,677,519 shares of the Company's common stock, which represents approximately 9.1% of the Company's common stock outstanding.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

SEC Examination and Investigation
On March 23, 2016, the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) sent document subpoenas and document-preservation notices to the Company, FSAM, FSCO GP LLC - General Partner of Fifth Street Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“FSOF”), and Fifth Street Finance Corp. (“FSC”). The subpoenas sought production of documents relating to a variety of issues, including those raised in an ordinary-course examination of Fifth Street Management LLC by the SEC’s Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations that began in October 2015, and in certain FSC and FSAM securities class actions and FSC derivative actions. The subpoenas were issued pursuant to a formal order of private investigation captioned In the Matter of the Fifth Street Group of Companies, No. HO-12925, dated March 23, 2016, which addresses (among other things) (i) the valuation of the Company's portfolio companies and investments, (ii) the expenses allocated or charged to the Company and FSC, (iii) FSOF’s trading in the securities of publicly traded business-development companies, (iv) statements to the board of directors, other representatives of pooled investment vehicles, investors, or prospective investors concerning the fair value of the Company's portfolio companies or investments as well as expenses allocated or charged to the Company and FSC, (v) various issues relating to adoption and implementation of policies and procedures under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), (vi) statements and/or potential omissions in the entities’ SEC filings, (vii) the entities’ books, records, and accounts and whether they fairly and accurately reflected the entities’ transactions and dispositions of assets, and (viii) several other issues relating to corporate books and records. The formal order cites

52

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Advisers Act, as well as rules promulgated under those Acts, as the bases of the investigation. The subpoenaed Fifth Street entities are cooperating with the Division of Enforcement investigation, have produced requested documents, and have been communicating with Division of Enforcement personnel.
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company received insurance reimbursements related to previously incurred legal professional fees of approximately $0.3 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company may be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its portfolio companies. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $49.7 million and $52.8 million, respectively, of unfunded commitments to provide debt and equity financing to certain of the Company's portfolio companies. Such commitments are subject to the 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 its Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The fair value of the Company's unfunded commitments is considered to be immaterial as the yield determined at the time of underwriting is expected to be materially consistent with the yield upon funding.
A summary of the composition of unfunded commitments (consisting of revolvers, term loans and FSFR Glick JV Subordinated Notes and LLC equity interests) as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016 is shown in the table below:

Except as otherwise specified, references to the "Company," "we," "us," and "our," refer to Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
All amounts are in dollars, except share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated.
Overview
We are a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. We have qualified and elected to be treated as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, for tax purposes.
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 invest primarily in senior secured loans, including first lien, unitranche and second lien debt instruments, that pay interest at rates which are determined periodically on the basis of a floating base lending rate, made to private middle market companies whose debt is rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as “high yield” and “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. We also have an investment in a joint venture that invests in similar types of loans. We may also invest in

56


senior unsecured loans issued by private middle market companies and, to a lesser extent, subordinated loans issued by private middle market companies, senior and subordinated loans issued by public companies and equity investments.
We are externally managed by Fifth Street Management LLC, or the investment adviser, a subsidiary of Fifth Street Asset Management Inc., or FSAM, a publicly traded alternative asset manager, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. FSC CT LLC, or FSC CT, a subsidiary of our investment adviser, also provides certain administrative and other services necessary for us to operate.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation

Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q 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. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We are an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, or ASC 946.
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.
We value our investments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, which 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. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices derived from such prices over entity-specific inputs. 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.

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.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. Generally, it is expected that all of our investment securities will be valued using Level 3 inputs. This includes investment securities that are valued using "bid" and "ask" prices obtained from independent third party pricing services or directly from brokers. 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 adjustments for investment-specific factors or restrictions.
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 investment adviser's 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.

57


Our investment adviser 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 may be valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, our investment adviser looks at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Our investment adviser does not adjust the prices unless it has a reason to believe any such market quotations are not reflective of the fair value of an investment. Examples of events that would cause market quotations to not reflect fair value 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 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, we perform additional procedures to corroborate such information, which may include the bond yield approach discussed below and a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the credit quality and market trends affecting the portfolio company.
We perform detailed valuations of all debt and equity investments for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to represent fair value of the investments. We typically use two different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value, or EV, of the portfolio company. EV means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The primary method for determining EV uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company's EBITDA. EBITDA multiples are typically determined based upon review of market comparable transactions and publicly traded comparable companies, if any. We may also employ other valuation multiples to determine EV, such as revenues. The second method for determining EV uses a discounted cash flow analysis whereby future expected cash flows of the portfolio company are discounted to determine a present value using estimated discount rates (typically a weighted average cost of capital based on costs of debt and equity consistent with current market conditions). The EV analysis is typically performed to determine the value of equity investments, to determine if there is credit impairment for debt investments and to determine the value for debt investments that we are deemed to control under the 1940 Act. If debt investments are credit impaired, an EV analysis may be used to value such debt investments; however, in addition to the methods outlined above, other alternative methods such as an asset liquidation model, expected recovery model or a recent observable or pending transaction may be utilized to estimate EV. The second valuation technique is a bond yield approach, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments. To determine fair value using a bond yield approach, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk. In the bond yield approach, we consider the current contractual interest rate, the capital structure and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the EV of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by us are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, we depend on primary market data, including newly funded transactions and industry specific market movements, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.
In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that qualify as investment companies in accordance with ASC 946 may be valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value.
We estimate the fair value of privately held warrants using a Black Scholes pricing model, which includes 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 by our investment adviser's valuation team in conjunction with the investment adviser's portfolio management and capital markets teams;
Preliminary valuations are then reviewed and discussed with principals of our investment adviser;
Separately, independent valuation firms engaged by our Board of Directors prepare 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 and provide such reports to our investment adviser and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors;

58


The investment adviser compares and contrasts its preliminary valuations to the valuations of the independent valuation firms and prepares a valuation report for the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors;
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors reviews the preliminary valuations with the portfolio managers of the investment adviser, and our investment adviser responds and supplements the preliminary valuations to reflect any discussions between our investment adviser and 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 level 3 investments in our portfolio; and
Our Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each level 3 investment in our portfolio.
The fair value of our investments at December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, was determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has authorized the engagement of independent valuation firms to provide valuation assistance. We will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of a portion of our 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. As of December 31, 2016, 29.6% of our portfolio at fair value was valued by independent valuation firms. The percentage of our portfolio valued by independent valuation firms may vary from period to period based on the availability of market quotations for our portfolio investments during the respective periods. However, our 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 our valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.
The percentages of our portfolio, at fair value, valued by independent valuation firms as of the end of each period during the current quarter and three preceding fiscal years were as follows:
As of December 31, 2013
34.1
%
As of March 31, 2014

__________
(1) The decrease from prior quarters is primarily related to the increased use of market quotations to value certain of our portfolio investments beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
(2) Valuations performed by independent valuation firms as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 were higher primarily due to additional year-end procedures related to portfolio investments that were valued using market quotations based on only one source.
As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, approximately 91.5% and 92.2%, respectively, of our total assets represented investments in portfolio companies valued at prices equal to 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. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest cash payments will be collected. Cash interest payments received on investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Such non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest are paid in cash, and in management’s judgment, the portfolio company is likely to continue timely payment of its remaining interest. As of December 31, 2016, there were two investments on which we stopped accruing cash and/or PIK interest or OID income.

59


In connection with our investment, we sometimes receive nominal cost equity that is valued as part of the negotiation process with the particular portfolio company. When we receive nominal cost equity, we allocate our cost basis in the investment between debt securities and the nominal cost equity at the time of origination. Any resulting discount from recording the loan, or otherwise purchasing a security at a discount, is accreted into interest income over the life of the loan.
We generally recognize dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from equity investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, we will not record distributions from equity investments as dividend income unless there are sufficient earnings at the portfolio company prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.
Fee Income
We receive a variety of fees in the ordinary course of business including servicing, advisory, amendment, structuring and prepayment fees which are classified as fee income and recognized as they are earned.
PIK Interest
Our loans may contain contractual PIK interest provisions. 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 is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. We 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 involves 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 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 is generally made well before our full write-down of such loan or debt security when it is determined that PIK interest is no longer collectible. 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 increases the recorded cost basis of these investments in our Consolidated Financial Statements and, as a result, increases the cost basis of these investments for purposes of computing the capital gains incentive fee payable by us to our investment adviser.
For a discussion of risks we are subject to as a result of our use of PIK interest, see "Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Structure — We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we are required to recognize income for U.S. federal income tax purposes before or without receiving cash representing such income," "— We may in the future choose to pay distributions partly in our own stock, in which case you may be subject to 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, 2016 in connection with our investments. 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 increases the recorded cost basis of these investments both in our Consolidated Financial Statements and 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 as distributions even though we have not yet collected the cash and may never collect the cash relating to the PIK interest. Accumulated PIK interest was $0.1 million as of each of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016. The net increases in loan balances as a result of contractual PIK arrangements are separately identified in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Portfolio Composition
Our investments principally consist of senior loans in private middle market companies and investments in FSFR Glick JV LLC, or together with its consolidated subsidiaries, FSFR Glick JV. Our senior 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 attractive 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.

Portfolio Asset Quality
We employ a ranking system to assess and monitor the credit risk of our investment portfolio. We rank all debt 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 debt investments that are performing above expectations and/or capital gains are expected.
Investment Ranking 2 is used for debt 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 debt investments are initially ranked 2.
Investment Ranking 3 is used for debt 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, debt investments with a ranking of 3 are generally those on which we are not accruing PIK interest.
Investment Ranking 4 is used for debt investments that are performing substantially below our expectations and for

63


which risk has increased substantially since the original or restructured investment. Debt 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 December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016:

________________
(1)
Due to operating performance this ratio is not measurable and, as a result, is excluded from the total portfolio calculation.
(2)
Beginning as of December 31, 2016, we have revised our investment ranking scale to include only debt investments. Accordingly, in order to make the table comparative, we revised the investment ranking table as of September 30, 2016 to exclude equity investments.
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 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 each of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, we had modified the payment terms of our investments in five portfolio companies.
Loans and Debt Securities on Non-Accrual Status
As of December 31, 2016, there were two investments on which we stopped accruing cash and/or PIK interest or OID income. As of September 30, 2016, there was one investment on which we stopped accruing cash and/or PIK interest or OID income. As of December 31, 2015, there were two investments on which we had stopped accruing cash and/or PIK interest or OID income.
The percentages of our debt investments at cost and fair value by accrual status as of December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:

FSFR Glick JV LLC
In October 2014, we entered into a LLC agreement with GF Equity Funding 2014 LLC, or GF Equity Funding, to form FSFR Glick JV. On April 21, 2015, FSFR Glick JV began investing in senior secured loans of middle market companies. We co-invest in these securities with GF Equity Funding through FSFR Glick JV. FSFR Glick JV is managed by a four person Board of Directors, two of whom are selected by us and two of whom are selected by GF Equity Funding. FSFR Glick JV is capitalized as transactions are completed, and portfolio decisions and investment decisions in respect of FSFR Glick JV must be approved by an investment committee of FSFR Glick JV consisting of one representative of us and one representative of GF Equity Funding (with approval of each required). The members provide capital to FSFR Glick JV in exchange for LLC equity interests, and we and GF Debt Funding 2014 LLC, or GF Debt Funding, an entity advised by affiliates of GF Equity Funding, provide capital to FSFR Glick JV in exchange for the Subordinated Notes. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, we and GF Equity Funding owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the outstanding LLC interests, and we and GF Debt Funding owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the Subordinated Notes. FSFR Glick JV is not an "eligible portfolio company" as defined in section 2(a)(46) of the 1940 Act.
We have determined that FSFR Glick JV is an investment company under ASC 946; however, in accordance with such guidance, we will generally not consolidate our investment in a company other than a wholly-owned investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to us. Accordingly, we do not consolidate our noncontrolling interest in FSFR Glick JV.
As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, FSFR Glick JV had total assets of $170.0 million and $201.1 million, respectively. Our investment in FSFR Glick JV consisted of LLC equity interests and Subordinated Notes of $61.7 million in aggregate, at fair value as of December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, our investment consisted of LLC equity interests and Subordinated Notes of $63.3 million in aggregate, at fair value. The Subordinated Notes are junior in right of payment to the repayment of temporary contributions made by us to fund investments of FSFR Glick JV that are repaid when GF Equity Funding and GF Debt Funding make their capital contributions and fund their Subordinated Notes, respectively. FSFR Glick JV's portfolio consisted of middle market and other corporate debt securities of 32 and 36 "eligible portfolio companies" (as defined in section 2(a)(46) of the 1940 Act) as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The portfolio companies in FSFR Glick JV are in industries similar to those in which we may invest directly.
As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, FSFR Glick JV had total capital commitments of $100.0 million. $87.5 million of which was from us and the remaining $12.5 million from GF Equity Funding and GF Debt Funding. Approximately $81.3 million in aggregate commitments was funded as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, of which $71.1 million was from us. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, we had commitments to fund Subordinated Notes to FSFR Glick JV of $78.8 million, of which $14.7 million was unfunded. As of December 31, 2016 and

65


September 30, 2016, we had commitments to fund LLC equity interests in FSFR Glick JV of $8.7 million, of which $1.6 million was unfunded.
Additionally, FSFR Glick JV has a senior revolving credit facility with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Island Branch, or the Credit Suisse facility, with a stated maturity date of April 17, 2023, which permitted up to $200.0 million of borrowings as of both December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016. Borrowings under the Credit Suisse facility are secured by all of the assets of FSFR Glick JV and all of the equity interests in FSFR Glick JV and bore interest at a rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum with no LIBOR floor as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016.

(1) There are no management fees or incentive fees charged at FSFR Glick JV.
FSFR Glick JV has elected to fair value the Subordinated Notes issued to the Company and GF Debt Funding under FASB ASC Topic 825 — Financial Instruments. The FSFR Glick JV subordinated notes were valued using an enterprise value approach. The enterprise value was determined based on the total assets at fair value held at FSFR Glick JV.
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we did not sell any senior secured debt investments to FSFR Glick JV. During the three months ended December 31, 2015, we sold $9.0 million of senior secured debt investments at fair value to FSFR Glick JV in exchange for $9.0 million cash consideration.
 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 or other realizations of portfolio investments and their stated costs. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio and secured borrowings during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously unrealized appreciation (depreciation) when gains or losses are realized.
Comparison of the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015
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, amendment and prepayment fees that we received in connection with our debt investments. These fees are recognized as earned. Other investment income consists primarily of dividend income received from certain of our equity investments.
Total investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $11.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, this amount primarily consisted of $11.0 million of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $0.1 million of PIK interest), $0.4 million of fee income and $0.2 million of dividend and other income. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, this amount primarily consisted of $12.2 million of interest income from portfolio investments, $1.3 million of fee income and $0.4 million of dividend and other income. The decrease of $2.4 million in our total investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015, was primarily attributable to lower average levels of outstanding debt investments.
Expenses
Net expenses (expenses net of base management fee waivers and insurance recoveries) for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $5.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The decrease of $1.2 million in our net expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015,

70


was primarily due to $0.8 million decrease in Part I incentive fees payable to our investment adviser and a $0.5 million decrease in professional fees, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses and a $0.2 million increase in interest expense.
Net Investment Income
As a result of the $2.4 million decrease in total investment income, offset by the $1.2 million decrease in net expenses, net investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2016 reflected an approximate $1.1 million decrease, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015.
Realized Gain (Loss) 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.
See Note 9 in the consolidated financial statements for more details regarding investment realization events for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments and Secured Borrowings
Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation is the net change in the fair value of our investments and secured borrowings during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
See Note 9 in the consolidated financial statements for more details regarding unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and secured borrowings for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
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 raising equity, increasing debt and funding from operational cash flow. Additionally, to generate liquidity 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 credit facilities, as we deem appropriate.
For the three months ended December 31, 2016, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $16.4 million. During that period, $63.2 million of cash was provided by operating activities, primarily consisting of $66.7 million of principal payments and proceeds from the sale of investments and cash activities related to $5.9 million of net investment income, partially offset by cash used to fund $37.6 million of investments and net revolvers. During the same period, cash used by financing activities was $46.8 million, primarily consisting of $35.2 million of net repayments under our credit facilities, $6.5 million of cash distributions paid to our shareholders and $5.0 million of repayments of secured borrowings.

For the three months ended December 31, 2015, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $28.3 million. During that period, $9.8 million of cash was provided by operating activities, primarily consisting of $132.3 million of principal payments and proceeds from the sale of investments and cash activities related to $7.0 million of net investment income, partially offset by cash used to fund of $132.4 million of investments and net revolvers. During the same period, cash used by financing activities was $38.1 million, primarily consisting of $27.4 million of net repayments under our credit facilities, $4.0 million of net repayments under our $309.0 million term debt securitization, or the 2015 Debt Securitization and $6.3 million of cash distributions paid to our shareholders.
At December 31, 2016, we had $43.7 million of cash and cash equivalents (including $7.5 million of restricted cash), portfolio investments (at fair value) of $540.1 million, $3.8 million of interest, dividends and fees receivable, $14.5 million of payables from unsettled transactions, $72.3 million of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities, $177.6 million of borrowings outstanding under our 2015 Debt Securitization (net of unamortized financing costs) and unfunded commitments of $49.7 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Citibank facility, we are restricted in terms of access to $3.0 million until such time as we submit required monthly reporting schedules. As of December 31, 2016, $4.5 million of cash held in connection with the 2015 Debt Securitization was restricted.


71


At September 30, 2016, we had $28.8 million of cash and cash equivalents (including $9.0 million of restricted cash), portfolio investments (at fair value) of $573.6 million, $4.6 million of interest, dividends and fees receivable, $12.9 million receivables from unsettled transactions, $107.4 million of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities, $177.5 million of borrowings outstanding under our 2015 Debt Securitization (net of unamortized financing costs) and unfunded commitments of $52.8 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Citibank facility, we are restricted in terms of access to $3.5 million until such time as we submit required monthly reporting schedules. As of September 30, 2016, $5.5 million of cash held in connection with the 2015 Debt Securitization was restricted.
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 securities. We may from time to time issue securities pursuant to a shelf registration statement or otherwise pursuant to private offerings. The issuance of debt or equity securities will depend on future market conditions, funding needs and other factors and there can be no assurance that any such issuance will occur or be successful. In the future, we may also securitize a portion of our investments. To securitize investments, we would likely create a wholly-owned subsidiary and contribute a pool of loans to the subsidiary. We would then sell interests in the subsidiary on a non-recourse basis to purchasers and we would retain all or a portion of the equity in the subsidiary. Our primary uses of funds are 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 (which has primarily been the case for several years) 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 at least 90% of our taxable income as dividends to our stockholders each taxable year in connection with satisfying the requirements applicable to entities subject to tax as RICs under Subchapter M of the Code. See "Regulated Investment Company Status and Distributions" 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.
As a BDC, under the 1940 Act, we generally are not permitted to incur indebtedness unless immediately after such borrowing we have an asset coverage for total borrowings of at least 200% (i.e., the amount of debt may not exceed 50% of the value of our assets). This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. As of December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with this asset coverage 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.

Borrowings
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, or, as amended, 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 accrued 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, and rates equal to LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum and LIBOR plus 4.00% per annum during the subsequent two years, respectively. In addition, there is a commitment fee payable on the undrawn amount under the Citibank facility of either 0.50% per annum on the unused amount of the Citibank facility (if the advances outstanding on the Citibank 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 Citibank facility (if the advances outstanding on the Citibank 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 Citibank facility ends January 15, 2018 and the credit facility will mature on January 15, 2020. The Citibank facility requires us to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities.
As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, we had $68.1 million and $107.4 million outstanding under the Citibank facility, respectively. Borrowings under the Citibank facility are secured by all of the assets of FS Senior Funding II LLC and all of our equity interests in FS Senior Funding II LLC. We may use the Citibank facility to fund a portion of our 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 3.213% and 2.639% for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we recorded interest expense of $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to the Citibank facility.
East West Bank Facility
On January 6, 2016, we entered into a five-year $25 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the lenders referenced therein, U.S. Bank National Association, as Custodian, and East West Bank as Secured Lender, or the East West

73


Bank Facility. The East West Bank Facility bears an interest rate of either (i) LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum for borrowings in year one, 3.50% per annum for borrowings in year two, 3.25% per annum for borrowings in years three and four and 3.00% per annum for borrowings in year five, or (ii) East West Bank’s prime rate plus 0.75% per annum for borrowings in year one, 0.50% per annum for borrowings in year two, 0.25% per annum for borrowings in years three and four, and 0.00% per annum for borrowings in year five. The East West Bank Facility matures on January 6, 2021. The East West Bank Facility requires us to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities.
As of December 31, 2016, we had $4.2 million outstanding under the East West Bank Facility. Borrowings under the East West Bank Facility are secured by the loans pledged as collateral thereunder from time to time as well as certain of our other assets. We may use the East West Bank Facility to fund a portion of our loan origination activities and for general corporate purposes. Our borrowings under the East West Bank Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 3.498% for the three months ended December 31, 2016. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, we recorded interest expense of $0.1 million related to the East West Bank Facility.
Debt Securitization
On May 28, 2015, we completed our $309.0 million 2015 Debt Securitization consisting of $222.6 million in 2015 Notes, and $86.4 million of 2015 Subordinated Notes. The notes offered in the 2015 Debt Securitization were issued by the 2015 Issuer, a wholly-owned subsidiary of us, through a private placement. The 2015 Notes are secured by the assets held by the 2015 Issuer. The 2015 Debt Securitization consists of $126.0 million Class A-T Senior Secured 2015 Notes which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.80%; $29.0 million Class A-S Senior Secured 2015 Notes which bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.55%, with a step-up in spread to 2.10% to occur in October 2016; $20.0 million Class A-R Senior Secured Revolving 2015 Notes which bear interest at a rate of commercial paper, or CP, plus 1.80%, or, collectively, the Class A 2015 Notes; and $25.0 million Class B Senior Secured 2015 Notes which bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.65% per annum. In partial consideration for the loans transferred to the 2015 Issuer as part of the 2015 Debt Securitization, we currently retain the entire $22.6 million of the Class C Senior Secured 2015 Notes (which we purchased at 98.0% of par value) and the entire $86.4 million of the 2015 Subordinated Notes. The Class A 2015 Notes and Class B 2015 Notes are included in our December 31, 2016 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as notes payable. As of December 31, 2016, the Class C 2015 Notes and the 2015 Subordinated Notes were eliminated in consolidation.
We serve as collateral manager to the 2015 Issuer under a collateral management agreement. We are entitled to a fee for our services as collateral manager. The collateral management fee is eliminated in consolidation. We have retained Fifth Street Management LLC, our investment adviser, to furnish collateral management sub-advisory services to us pursuant to a sub-collateral management agreement. Our investment adviser has waived, and intends to continue to waive, its right to such sub-collateral management fees in respect of the 2015 Debt Securitization.
The collateral management agreement does not include any incentive fee payable to us as collateral manager or payable to our investment adviser as sub-advisor under the sub-collateral management agreement.
Through May 28, 2019, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the 2015 Issuer to purchase new collateral under the direction of the investment adviser in its capacity as sub-collateral manager of the 2015 Issuer and in accordance with our investment strategy. All classes of 2015 Notes are scheduled to mature on May 28, 2025.
As of December 31, 2016, there were 49 in portfolio companies with a total fair value of $257.5 million, securing the 2015 Notes. The pool of loans in the 2015 Debt Securitization must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements.
For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the components of interest expense, cash paid for interest, average interest rates and average outstanding balances for the 2015 Debt Securitization were as follows:

 The proceeds of the private placement of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, net of debt issuance costs, may be used to fund a portion of the 2015 Issuer's loan origination activities and for general corporate purposes. The creditors of the 2015 Issuer have received security interests in the assets owned by the 2015 Issuer and such assets are not intended to be available to our creditors (or any of our other affiliates). As part of the 2015 Debt Securitization, we entered into master loan sale agreements under which we agreed to directly or indirectly sell or contribute certain senior secured debt investments (or participation interests therein) to the 2015 Issuer, and to purchase or otherwise acquire the 2015 Subordinated Notes of the 2015 Issuer, as applicable. The 2015 Notes (other than the Class C Notes) are the secured obligations of the 2015 Issuer and indentures governing the 2015 Notes include customary covenants and events of default. The 2015 Debt Securitization requires us to comply with certain monthly financial covenants, including overcollateralization and interest coverage tests.
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 December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $49.7 million and $52.8 million, respectively, of unfunded commitments to provide debt and equity 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. We believe that our assets will provide adequate cover to satisfy all of our unfunded commitments as of December 31, 2016.

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 subject to tax on our investment company taxable income or realized net capital gains, to the extent that such taxable income or gains is distributed, or deemed to be distributed as dividends, 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 taxable year may differ from taxable income for that taxable year as such distributions may include the distribution of taxable income derived from the current taxable year or the distribution of taxable income derived from the prior taxable year carried forward into and distributed in the current taxable year. Distributions also may include returns of capital.
To maintain RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, distribute dividends, with respect to each taxable year, of an amount generally at least equal to 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) determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. As a RIC, we are also subject to a federal excise tax, based on distribution requirements of our taxable income on a calendar year basis. We anticipate timely distribution of our taxable income in accordance with the tax rules; however, we incurred a de minimis federal excise tax for calendar year 2013. We did not incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar year 2014 and 2015 and do not expect to incur a federal excise tax for calendar year 2016. 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 and taxable year fall below the total amount of our dividend distributions for that fiscal and taxable year, a portion of those 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 Citibank facility, the East West Bank Facility and the 2015 Debt Securitization. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our taxable income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions or distributions at a particular level.
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 certain limitations regarding the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders. 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 guidelines.
We may generate qualified interest income that may be exempt from United States withholding tax on foreign accounts. A RIC is permitted to designate distributions of qualified interest income and short-term capital gains as exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to non-U.S. shareholders with proper documentation. The following table, which may be subject to change, lists the percentage of qualified interest income and qualified short-term capital gains for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Related Party Transactions
We have entered into an investment advisory agreement with Fifth Street Management. Messrs. Berman and Dalton, 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 Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, that is partially and indirectly owned by FSAM. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, fees payable to our investment adviser are 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 Part I 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 Part II 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 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. From inception to date, the Company has paid in aggregate Part II incentive fees of approximately $0.1 million. 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 months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we accrued fees of $2.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively, under the investment advisory agreement.
We serve as collateral manager to the 2015 Issuer under a collateral management agreement in connection with the 2015 Debt Securitization and receive a fee for providing these services. We have retained Fifth Street Management to furnish collateral management sub-advisory services to us pursuant to a sub-collateral management agreement. Fifth Street Management is entitled to receive 100% of the collateral management fees paid to us under the collateral management agreement, but has irrevocably waived and intends to continue to irrevocably waive its right to such sub-collateral management fees in respect of the 2015 Debt Securitization.
We have also entered into an administration agreement with FSC CT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our investment adviser, under which FSC CT provides administrative services for us, including facilities, including our principal executive offices, and equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services at such facilities. Under the administration agreement, FSC CT also performs, or oversees the performance of, our required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records which we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, FSC CT assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. FSC CT may also provide on our behalf managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, we reimburse FSC CT the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by FSC CT in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. Such reimbursement is at cost, with no profit to, or markup by, FSC CT. Our allocable portion of FSC CT’s costs is determined based upon costs attributable to our operations versus costs attributable to the operations of other entities for which FSC CT provides administrative services. We utilize office space in Greenwich, CT that is leased by our administrator from an affiliate controlled by the chief executive officer of our investment adviser and administrator, Mr. Tannenbaum.  We also utilize additional office space that is leased by affiliates of our investment adviser and administrator in Chicago, IL.  Any reimbursement for a portion of the rent at these locations is at cost with no profit to, or markup by, FSC CT.
The administration agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon no fewer than 60 days' written notice to the other. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, we accrued administrative expenses of $0.5 million, including $0.4 million of general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, we accrued administrative expenses of $0.3 million, including $0.1 million of general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was included in Due to FSC CT in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
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 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.

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 addition, our investments are carried at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors in accordance with the 1940 Act. 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 December 31, 2016, 100% of our debt investment portfolio (at cost and fair value) bore interest at floating rates and had interest rate floors between 0% and 2%.
Based on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2016, the following table shows the approximate annualized increase in interest income from 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.

A decline in interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial statements.
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 December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that is described below in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

(b) Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As of September 30, 2016, management has determined that the Company did not design or maintain effective controls to internally communicate current accounting policies and procedures including the nature of supporting documentation required to validate certain portfolio company data. This material weakness remained as of December 31, 2016 primarily because the remediation actions described below remain in process.

(c) Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, we took a number of steps to remediate the aggregated material weakness including formalizing policies and procedures relating to fee income recognition and the communication of these policies and procedures throughout the organization. Further, we added senior experienced accounting and financial reporting personnel with higher levels of experience, outsourced a number of accounting and operation activities, engaged a public accounting firm to assist on technical accounting matters and reallocated existing internal resources.  During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, we have and will continue to take a number of additional steps to remediate this material weakness, including the formalization of policies and procedures in other significant areas and the implementation of controls over the validation of portfolio company data. Management is committed to improving our internal control processes and believes that the measures described above should be sufficient to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting.  Based on the steps we have taken to date and the anticipated timing of additional remediation measures and appropriate test work, we expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end of calendar year 2017.  We cannot assure you, however, that the steps taken will remediate such weakness, nor can we be certain of whether additional actions will be required or the costs of any such actions.
(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first fiscal quarter of 2017 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 except as described below.
SEC Examination and Investigation
On March 23, 2016, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC sent document subpoenas and document-preservation notices to us, FSAM, FSCO GP LLC - General Partner of Fifth Street Opportunities Fund, L.P., or FSOF, and FSC. The subpoenas sought production of documents relating to a variety of issues, including those raised in an ordinary-course examination of Fifth Street Management by the SEC’s Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations that began in

81


October 2015, and in FSC and FSAM securities class actions and FSC derivative actions. The subpoenas were issued pursuant to a formal order of private investigation captioned In the Matter of the Fifth Street Group of Companies, No. HO-12925, dated March 23, 2016, which addresses (among other things) (i) the valuation of our portfolio companies and investments, (ii) the expenses allocated or charged to us and FSC, (iii) FSOF’s trading in the securities of publicly traded business-development companies, (iv) statements to the board, other representatives of pooled investment vehicles, investors, or prospective investors concerning the fair value of our portfolio companies or investments as well as expenses allocated or charged to us and FSC, (v) various issues relating to adoption and implementation of policies and procedures under the Advisers Act, (vi) statements and/or potential omissions in the entities’ SEC filings, (vii) the entities’ books, records, and accounts and whether they fairly and accurately reflected the entities’ transactions and dispositions of assets, and (viii) several other issues relating to corporate books and records. The formal order cites various provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the Advisers Act, as well as rules promulgated under those acts, as the bases of the investigation. The subpoenaed Fifth Street entities are cooperating with the Division of Enforcement investigation, have produced requested documents, and have been communicating with Division of Enforcement personnel.
