Quarter Fiscal 2011 Distribution of $0.225 Per Share Announced
RYE
BROOK, NY, February 9, 2011
– Full Circle Capital Corporation
(Nasdaq: FULL) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results
for the second fiscal 2011 quarter ended December 31, 2010.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2010,
the Company recorded net investment income of $1.5 million or $0.24 per share
and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $1.4 million, or
$0.22 per share. Net asset value was $9.32 per share at December 31, 2010.
The Company also announced that on
February 4, 2011, its board of directors declared a distribution for its third
fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2011 of $0.225 per share. This distribution will
be payable on April 15, 2011 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2011. The
annualized distribution of $0.90 per share equates to a current yield of 10.3%,
based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $8.73 per share on
February 8, 2011.
Full Circle Capital Corporation was
formed on April 16, 2010
and commenced operations on August 31, 2010 with the purchase of a seasoned
portfolio consisting of approximately $72.3 million of debt and equity
investments from two existing private funds, Full Circle Partners, LP and Full
Circle Fund, Ltd., formed in 2005 and 2007
respectively. As a result, there is no comparable period to compare results for
the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010. Full Circle Capital completed
its initial public offering on August 31, 2010.

“We performed according to our plan
during our first full quarter of operations and as a public
company,” said John Stuart,
chairman and chief executive officer of Full Circle Capital Corp. “Our strategy of providing first lien
senior secured loans and stretch senior secured, or uni-tranche, loan solutions
to smaller and lower middle market companies continued to deliver attractive
risk-adjusted yields during the most recently completed quarter.”
“The Company received $7.6 million in
loan and investment realizations in the quarter ending December 31,
2010. An additional $15.2 million in loan payoffs have beenreceived
by the Company subsequent
to the end of the quarter.”
“We are pleased that all of our
realizations were recorded at par, and with the continued turnover of the
portfolio, much of this payoff activity generated early prepayment and other fee
income,” stated Stuart.
“The combination of
liquidity from these and
future payoffs plus investment funding capability under our existing
credit facility give us additional resources to participate in new loan
opportunities with potentially more attractive risk-adjusted returns. Currently
we are seeing more opportunities to invest in fundamentally good businesses and
an overall increase in business optimism in our targeted smaller and lower
middle market borrowers. As a result of these developments, over the next few
quarters we believe we are well-positioned to continue to achieve our investment
objective of generating both current income and capital
appreciation.”
Second Quarter Fiscal 2011
Results
Net asset
value at December 31, 2010 was $9.32 per share. For the second fiscal quarter
ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded net unrealized depreciation
resulting from valuations of $0.2 million most of which related to debt
investments. The Company also recorded $0.1 million of realized
gains.
The
Company generated $2.3 million of interest income during the period, of which
approximately 97% was paid in cash with the remaining 3% paid in payment-in-kind
(“PIK”) interest. Fee income from loan prepayments and other sources totaled
$0.2 million. The Company recorded net investment income of $1.5 million or
$0.24 per share and net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $1.4
million, or $0.22 per share.
During
the quarter there were no new investment activities in debt investments other
than borrowers drawing on existing loan facilities in a net amount of $3.7
million. Repayments and amortization of principal under existing loan facilities
and loan and investment realizations totaled $10.1 million.
At
December 31, 2010, the Company’s portfolio (excluding U.S. Treasury bill
holdings) included investments in 16 companies. The average portfolio company
investment at December 31, 2010 was $4.1 million. The weighted
average interest rate on investments was 12.1%. At fair value, 92.8% of
portfolio investments were first lien loans, 6.6% were second lien loans and
0.6% were equity investments. Approximately 69% of the debt investment
portfolio, at fair value, bore interest at floating rates. The
majority of the floating rate loans carry a minimum interest rate floor which
protects the Company’s return in a low rate environment. The estimated
loan-to-value ratio on the Company’s loans was 45% at December 31, 2010 compared
to 51% at September 30, 2010.
Recent Developments Since
December 31, 2010
Since
December 31, 2010 the Company has funded an additional $0.3 million in two
existing portfolio companies.
Since
December 31, 2010 the Company has received repayments of $15.2 million,
including fees and interest due, representing its entire investments in five
portfolio companies.
