FULL CIRCLE CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2011

Note 1. Organization

References herein to “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Full Circle Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries (“Full Circle Capital” or “Company”) unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

We were formed as Full Circle Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation. We were organized on April 16, 2010 and were funded in an initial public offering, or IPO, completed on August 31, 2010.  We are a non-diversified, closed-end investment company that has filed an election to be treated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).  As a BDC, we expect to qualify and elect to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.  We invest primarily in senior secured term debt issued by smaller and lower middle-market companies.  Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates and Basis of Presentation

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, creditworthiness of our portfolio companies and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.
 
Investment Classification
 
We are a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. We classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, control investments are those where there is the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, a beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the voting securities of an investee company. Affiliated Investments and affiliated companies are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist through the possession outright or via the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another company or person.
 
Investments are recognized when we assume an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Investments are derecognized when we assume an obligation to sell a financial instrument and forego the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Specifically, we record all security transactions on a trade date basis. Investments in other, non-security financial instruments, such as a limited partnership or private company, are recorded on the basis of subscription date or redemption date, as applicable. Amounts for investments recognized or derecognized but not yet settled are reported as receivables for investments sold and payables for investments purchased, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
 
Basis of Consolidation
 
Under the 1940 Act rules, the regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services and benefits to us. Our financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of Full Circle West, Inc. and Full Circle ICB, Inc., our only wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Valuation of Investments

In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, Full Circle Capital’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) uses various valuation approaches. In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Board. Unobservable inputs reflect the Board’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the Board or the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), does not represent fair value, shall each be valued as follows:

 
1.
The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment;
 
2.
Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the Company’s senior management. An independent third-party valuation firm is engaged by, or on behalf of, the Audit Committee to conduct independent appraisals and review management’s preliminary valuations and make their own independent assessment, for certain assets;
 
3.
The Audit Committee discusses valuations and recommends the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Company and, where appropriate, the independent third-party valuation firm; and
 
4.
The Board then discusses the valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in the portfolio based upon any applicable independent pricing service, input from the Company, estimates from the independent valuation firm and the recommendations of the Audit Committee of the Board.

GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, the type of investment, whether the investment is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Board in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

       Valuation Techniques

Senior and Subordinated Secured Loans

Our portfolio consists primarily of private debt instruments (“Level 3 debt”). The Company considers its Level 3 debt to be performing if the borrower is not in default, the borrower is remitting payments in a timely manner, the loan is in covenant compliance or is otherwise not deemed to be impaired. In determining the fair value of the performing Level 3 debt, the Board considers fluctuations in current interest rates, the trends in yields of debt instruments with similar credit ratings, financial condition of the borrower, economic conditions and other relevant factors, both qualitative and quantitative. In the event that a Level 3 debt instrument is not performing, as defined above, the Board will evaluate the value of the collateral utilizing the same framework described above for a performing loan to determine the value of the Level 3 debt instrument.

This evaluation will be updated no less than quarterly for Level 3 debt instruments that are not performing, and more frequently for time periods where there are significant changes in the investor base or significant changes in the perceived value of the underlying collateral. The collateral value will be analyzed on an ongoing basis using internal metrics, appraisals, third party valuation agents and other data as may be acquired and analyzed by management and the Board.

Investments in Private Companies

The Board determines the fair value of its investments in private companies by incorporating valuations that consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market-based information, including comparable transactions, and performance multiples, among other factors, including third party valuation agents. These nonpublic investments are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Warrants

The Board will ascribe value to warrants based on fair value analyses that can include discounted cash flow analyses, option pricing models, comparable analyses and other techniques as deemed appropriate.

Cash

The Company places its cash with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., and at times, cash held in these accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. The Company also invests a portion of its cash in money market funds, within the limitations of the 1940 Act.

Revenue Recognition
 
Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method.
 
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, closing and/or commitment fees associated with senior and subordinated secured loans are accreted into interest income over the respective terms of the applicable loans. Upon the prepayment of a senior or subordinated secured loan, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, closing and commitment fees are recorded as interest income.
 
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Structuring fees, excess deal deposits, prepayment fees and similar fees are recognized as Other Income as earned, usually when paid. Other fee income, including administrative fees and unused line fees, is included in Other Income.  Income from such sources was $470,543 and $7,878 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Federal and State Income Taxes

We expect to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company and intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies. We will be required to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income and intend to distribute (or retain through a deemed distribution) all of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain to stockholders; therefore, we have made no provision for income taxes. The character of income and gains that we will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital.
 
 
16

 
 
If we do not distribute (or are not deemed to have distributed) each calendar year sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years (the “Minimum Distribution Amount”, we will generally be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by the Minimum Distribution Amount exceeds the distributions for the year. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, we accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual effective excise tax rate. The annual effective excise tax rate is determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, if any, to be paid as a dividend is approved by our Board each quarter and is generally based upon our management’s estimate of our earnings for the quarter.  Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

Guarantees and Indemnification Agreements
 
We follow ASC Topic 460, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”.  ASC Topic 460 elaborates on the disclosure requirements of a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, for those guarantees that are covered by ASC Topic 460, the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing certain guarantees. ASC Topic 460 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 5 and Note 8 for further discussion of guarantees and indemnification agreements.

Per Share Information

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period presented. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same since there are no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

Organizational Expenses and Offering Costs

The Company did not incur organizational expenses or offering costs during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

A portion of the net proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering was used for organizational and offering expenses of approximately $191,479 and $1,052,067, respectively. Organizational expenses were expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $178,979 of organizational expenses for the year ended June 30, 2011, with an additional $12,500 being incurred during the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010. Offering costs were charged against paid-in capital in excess of par. All organizational and offering costs were borne by the Company. 

Capital Accounts

Certain capital accounts including undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain or loss, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, and paid in capital in excess of par, are adjusted, at least annually, for permanent differences between book and tax. In addition, the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP.
 
Note 3. Concentration of Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk
 
In the normal course of business, the Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company is subject to credit risk to the extent any financial institution with which it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf.  Management monitors the financial condition of such financial institutions and does not anticipate any losses from these counterparties.

The Company utilizes one financial institution to provide financing, which is essential to its business. There are a number of other financial institutions available that could provide the Company with financing. Management believes that other financial institutions would be able to provide similar financing with comparable terms. However, a change in financial institutions could cause a delay in service provisioning or result in potential lost opportunities, which could adversely affect operating results.

As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $7.2 million in unfunded loan commitments, subject to our approval in certain instances, to provide debt financing to certain of our portfolio companies.

Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

Investment Advisory Agreement

On July 8, 2010, we entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with Full Circle Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) under which the Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, us. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, our Adviser: (i) determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes, (ii) identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments we make (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies); and (iii) closes and monitors investments we make.

The Adviser’s services under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and it is free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its services to us are not impaired. For providing these services the Adviser receives a fee from us, consisting of two components, a base management fee and an incentive fee.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of our gross assets, as adjusted. For services rendered under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears.  The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of our gross assets, as adjusted, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro-rated. In addition, our investment adviser agreed to waive any portion of the base management fee that exceeded 1.50% of Full Circle Capital’s gross assets, as adjusted, until August 31, 2011 when such waiver expired.
 
The total base management fees earned by the Adviser for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was $285,960. After adjusting for the waiver of $28,124, the total base management fee payable to the Adviser at September 30, 2011 was $264,005, after reflecting payment of $304,640 during the period, and is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities in Due to Affiliate. The total base management fees earned by the Adviser for the three months ended September 30, 2010, was $106,984. After adjusting for the waiver of $15,283, the total base management fee payable to the Adviser at September 30, 2010 was $91,701.

The incentive fee has two parts. The first part of the incentive fee (the “Income incentive fee”) is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar 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 we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement to Full Circle Service Company (the “Administrator”), and any interest expenses and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include organizational costs or any realized capital gains, computed net of all 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 our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a hurdle of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized). Our net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of our gross assets used to calculate the 1.75% base management fee. We pay the Adviser an incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

 
no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle of 1.75%;
 
 
18

 
 
 
100% of our 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 but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized). We refer to this portion of our pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.1875%) as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide our investment adviser with 20% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and

 
20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) is payable to the Adviser (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all pre-incentive fee investment income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser).

These calculations are appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current quarter.

The second part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), commencing with the 2010 calendar year, and will equal 20% of our realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees with respect to each of the investments in our portfolio, provided that, the incentive fee determined as of December 31, 2010 was calculated for a period of shorter than twelve calendar months to take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation from the inception of Full Circle Capital.
 
Income incentive fees of $371,602 were earned by the Adviser for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and the total income incentive fee payable to the Adviser at September 30, 2011 was $376,589, after reflecting payment of $276,622 during the period, and is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities in Due to Affiliate. The income incentive fee of $112,686 was earned by the Adviser for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Company for any operating expenses, excluding interest expenses, investment advisory and management fees, and organizational and offering expenses, in excess of 2% of our net assets for the first twelve months following the completion of the initial public offering, which occurred on August 31, 2010.  This agreement was extended through September 30, 2011, and equates to an accrual offset against the Advisor’s management fee of $285,668 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and $79,327 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Administration Agreement

On July 8, 2010, we also entered into an Administration Agreement with the Administrator under which the Administrator, among other things, furnishes us with office facilities, equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also performs, or oversees the performance of, our required administrative services, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records which we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders. In addition, the Administrator assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon our allocable portion of Full Circle Service Company’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and our allocable portion of the compensation of our chief financial officer and our allocable portion of the compensation of any administrative support staff employed by the Administrator, directly or indirectly. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator will also provide on our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies that request such assistance. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party.

The Administrator, and Vastardis Fund Services LLC (“Vastardis” or the “Sub-Administrator”), may also provide administrative services to the Adviser. As a result, the Adviser also reimburses the Administrator and/or the Sub-Administrator for its allocable portion of the Administrator’s and/or Sub-Administrator’s overhead, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions for Full Circle Advisors, and its allocable portion of the compensation of any administrative support staff. To the extent the Adviser or any of its affiliates manage other investment vehicles in the future, no portion of any administrative services provided by the Administrator to such other investment vehicles will be charged to us.
 
 
19

 
 
The Administration Agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, the Administrator and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from Full Circle Capital for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of the Administrator’s services under the Administration Agreement or otherwise as administrator for Full Circle Capital.

Sub-Administration Agreement

Our Chief Financial Officer, William E. Vastardis, is the President of Vastardis. The Administrator has engaged Vastardis to provide certain administrative services to us. In exchange for providing such services, the Administrator will pay Vastardis an asset-based fee with a $200,000 annual minimum as adjusted for any reimbursement of expenses. This asset-based fee will vary depending upon our gross assets, as adjusted, as follows:

Gross Assets Fee
 
first $150 million of gross assets
20 basis points (0.20%)
next $150 million of gross assets
15 basis points (0.15%)
next $200 million of gross assets
10 basis points (0.10%)
in excess of $500 million of gross assets
5 basis points (0.05%)

In addition to the above fees, certain administrative services previously provided by the Administrator are now performed by Vastardis for the Administrator for an annual fee of $112,457, paid quarterly in advance.

Additionally, we reimburse the Administrator for the fees charged for the service of Mr. Vastardis as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary at an annual rate of $250,000. Vastardis agreed to cap its first year fees at $200,000, plus any reimbursement of expenses, for administrative services to us, and at $100,000 for the service of Mr. Vastardis as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary. Those caps expired on August 31, 2011.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred $209,723 of expenses under the Administration Agreement, $78,114 of which was earned by the Sub-Administrator and $45,924 was paid in officers’ compensation to the CFO and CCO.  The remaining $85,685 was recorded as an Allocation of Overhead Expenses to the Administrator in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred $65,815 of expenses under the Administration Agreement, $26,038 of which was earned by the Sub-Administrator and $9,687 was paid in officers’ compensation. The remaining $30,090 was recorded as an Allocation of Overhead Expenses to the Administrator in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Administrator and Adviser did not begin charging Administration and Advisory fees to the Company until August 31, 2010, the date of the initial public offering and commencement of operations of the Company.
 
Managerial Assistance
 
As a business development company, we offer, and must provide upon request, managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies. This assistance could involve, among other things, monitoring the operations of our portfolio companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising officers of portfolio companies and providing other organizational and financial guidance. With regard to the Control Investments in Texas Westchester Financial, LLC and The Finance Company LLC, the Company has provided managerial assistance during the period for which no fees were charged.  As of September 30, 2011, none of the other portfolio companies had accepted our offer for such services.
 
Note 6. Equity Offerings and Related Expenses and Other Stock Issuances
 
During the year ended June 30, 2011, we issued 6,219,282 shares of our common stock through an initial public offering and a private placement and our dividend reinvestment plan. Offering expenses were charged against paid-in capital in excess of par. All underwriting fees and offering expenses were borne by us.  The proceeds raised, the related underwriting fees, the offering expenses, and the price at which common stock was issued since inception are detailed in the following table:

(3)         Includes $190,894 of offering expenses that were accrued as of December 31, 2010.

(4)         Issued pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.

On April 16, 2010, we issued 100 shares of common stock to Full Circle Advisors, LLC for $1,500 in connection with the organization of the Company. The issuance of such shares of our common stock was deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. We did not engage in any other sales of unregistered securities during the period ended June 30, 2010.
 
On August 31, 2010, we acquired a portfolio of investments (the “Legacy Portfolio”) from Full Circle Partners, LP and Full Circle Fund Ltd. (the “Legacy Funds”), which are managed by an affiliate of our investment adviser. The investments included in the Legacy Portfolio had a collective fair value of approximately $72.3 million as of June 30, 2010, as determined by our Board of Directors. In connection with our acquisition of the Legacy Portfolio, we issued an aggregate of 4,191,415 shares of our common stock and approximately $3.4 million of Distribution Notes (defined below) to certain investors in the Legacy Funds. The issuance of such shares of our common stock and Distribution Notes was deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
 
In addition, we assumed approximately $27.5 million of outstanding debt from the Legacy Funds’ credit facilities with FCC, LLC d/b/a First Capital (“First Capital”) in connection with the acquisition of the Legacy Portfolio and our entry into a new secured revolving credit facility with First Capital (the “Credit Facility”) (Note 8).
 
The following schedule summarizes the assets and liabilities acquired on August 31, 2010 as part of the acquisition of the Legacy Portfolio, which are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as follows:

On August 31, 2010 our registration statement on Form N-2 was declared effective (SEC File No. 333-166302), and we priced our initial public offering of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at the offering price of $9.00 per share. The initial public offering closed on September 7, 2010, resulting in the sale of all 2,000,000 shares and net proceeds to Full Circle Capital of approximately $15.6 million, of which the entire amount was used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility (Note 8). Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. acted as the managing underwriter.

Note 8. Long Term Liabilities
 
 Line of Credit

On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with First Capital. The facility size is $35 million and will expire in January 2012. Under the agreement, base rate borrowings bear interest at LIBOR (0.23944% at September 30, 2011, and 0.18555% at June 30, 2011) plus 5.50%. The Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets of the Company. Under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to satisfy several financial covenants, including maintaining a minimum level of stockholders’ equity, a maximum level of leverage and minimum asset coverage and interest coverage ratios. In addition, the Company is required to comply with other general covenants, including with respect to indebtedness, liens, restricted payments and mergers and consolidations.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had a balance of $12,722,262 on the Credit Facility, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Distribution Notes

On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into multiple senior unsecured notes (the “Distribution Notes”).  The Distribution Notes consist of $3,404,583 in senior unsecured notes, which bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly in cash, and will mature in February 2014. The Distribution Notes are callable by the Company at any time, in whole or in part, at a price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Distribution Notes subject Full Circle Capital to customary covenants, including, among other things, a restriction on incurring any debt on a junior lien basis, or any debt that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other debt unless it is also subordinated to the Distribution Notes on substantially identical terms. The agreement under which the Distribution Notes were issued contains customary events of default. At September 30, 2011, the Company had a balance of $3,404,583 on the Distribution Notes, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Note 10. Derivative Contracts

In the normal course of business, the Company may utilize derivative contracts in connection with its investment activities.  Investments in derivative contracts are subject to additional risks that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment.  The derivative activities and exposure to derivative contracts primarily involve equity price risks.  In addition to the primary underlying risk, additional counterparty risk exists due to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Warrants

The warrants provide exposure and potential gains upon equity appreciation of the investment company’s share price.

The value of a warrant has two components: time value and intrinsic value.  A warrant has a limited life and expires on a certain date.  As time to the expiration date of a warrant approaches, the time value of a warrant will decline.  In addition, if the stock underlying the warrant declines in price, the intrinsic value of an “in the money” warrant will decline.  Further, if the price of the stock underlying the warrant does not exceed the strike price of the warrant on the expiration date, the warrant will expire worthless.  As a result, there is the potential for the entire value of an investment in a warrant to be lost.

 
24

 

Counterparty risk exists from the potential failure of an issuer of warrants to settle its exercised warrants.  The maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the contracts and the purchase price of the warrants.  The Company’s Board of Directors considers the effects of counterparty risk when determining the fair value of its investments in warrants.
 
Volume of Derivative Activities

At September 30, 2011, the notional amounts and number of warrants, categorized by primary underlying risk, are as follows:

Note 11. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

In February 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“ASU 2011-02”).  ASU 2011-02 clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  ASU 2011-02 provides guidance to clarify whether the creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  The adoption of ASU 2011-02 did not have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and schedules thereto appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as the sections entitled “Selected Financial Data” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes and schedules thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2011.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about Full Circle Capital Corporation, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
 
 
an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies;

 
a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and investment activities;

 
interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly if we elect to use leverage as part of our investment strategy;

 
currency fluctuations could adversely affect the results of our investments in foreign companies, particularly to the extent that we receive payments denominated in foreign currency rather than U.S. dollars; and

 
the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our filings with the SEC.
 
Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
 
Except as otherwise specified, references to “Full Circle Capital,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Full Circle Capital Corporation.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
 
Overview

We are an externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company formed in April 2010, which has elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We are managed by Full Circle Advisors, and Full Circle Service Company provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate.

On August 31, 2010, we priced our initial public offering of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at the offering price of $9.00 per share. Our shares are currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “FULL.”

We were formed to continue and expand the business of Full Circle Partners, LP and Full Circle Fund, Ltd. (collectively, the “Legacy Funds”), which were formed in 2005 and 2007, respectively. As part of this continuation and expansion, we invest primarily in asset-based senior secured loans and, to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans and equity securities issued by smaller and lower middle-market companies that operate in a diverse range of industries, with a specific focus on the media, communications and business services industries where we believe we have particular expertise. In our lending activities, we focus primarily on portfolio companies with both (i) tangible and intangible assets available as collateral and security against our loan to help mitigate our risk of loss, and (ii) cash flow to cover debt service. We believe this provides us with a more attractive risk adjusted return profile, with greater principal protection and likelihood of repayment.

 
26

 

Immediately prior to the pricing of our initial public offering, we acquired a portfolio of investments (the “Legacy Portfolio”) from the Legacy Funds, which are managed by an affiliate of our investment adviser. The investments included in the Legacy Portfolio had a collective fair value of approximately $72.3 million as of June 30, 2010, as determined by our Board of Directors. In connection with our acquisition of the Legacy Portfolio, we issued approximately 4.19 million shares of our common stock and approximately $3.4 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Distribution Notes”) to investors in the Legacy Funds (the “Legacy Investors”), pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). We also incurred approximately $27.5 million of debt upon entry into a new secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with FCC, LLC d/b/a First Capital (“First Capital”) in connection with the assumption of outstanding amounts under the Legacy Funds’ credit facilities (the “Legacy Credit Facilities”). We refer to these transactions, collectively, as the “Full Circle Portfolio Acquisition.”
 
Our investments generally range in size from $3 million to $10 million; however, we may make larger or smaller investments from time to time on an opportunistic basis.  We focus primarily on senior secured loans and “stretch” senior secured loans, also referred to as “unitranche” loans, which combine characteristics of traditional first-lien senior secured loans and second-lien or subordinated loans. We believe that having a first lien, senior secured position provides us with greater control and security in the primary collateral of a borrower and helps to mitigate risk against loss of principal should a borrower default.  Our stretch senior secured loans typically possess a greater advance rate against the borrower’s assets and cash flow, and accordingly carry a higher interest rate and/or greater equity participation, than traditional senior secured loans. This stretch senior secured loan instrument can provide borrowers with a more efficient and desirable solution than a senior bank line combined with a separate second lien or mezzanine loan obtained from another source.  We also invest in mezzanine, subordinated or unsecured loans. In addition, we may acquire equity or equity related interests from a borrower along with our debt investment. We attempt to protect against risk of loss on our debt investments by securing our loans against a significant level of tangible or intangible assets of our borrowers, which may include accounts receivable and contracts for services, and obtaining a favorable loan-to-value ratio, and in many cases, securing other financial protections or credit enhancements, such as personal guarantees from the principals of our borrowers, make well agreements and other forms of collateral, rather than lending predominantly against anticipated cash flows of our borrowers. We believe this allows us more options and greater likelihood of repayment from refinancing, asset sales of our borrowers and/or amortization.

We generally seek to invest in smaller and lower middle-market companies in areas that we believe have been historically under-serviced, especially during and after the 2008/2009 credit crisis. These areas include industries that are outside the focus of mainstream institutions or investors due to required industry-specific knowledge or are too small to attract interest from larger investment funds or other financial institutions. Because we believe there are fewer banks and specialty finance companies focused on lending to these smaller and lower middle-market companies, we believe we can negotiate more favorable terms on our debt investments in these companies than those that would be available for debt investments in comparable larger, more mainstream borrowers. Such favorable terms may include higher debt yields, lower leverage levels, more significant covenant protection or greater equity grants than typical of other transactions. We generally seek to avoid competing directly with other capital providers with respect to specific transactions in order to avoid the less favorable terms we believe are typically associated with such competitive bidding processes. 
   
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.
 
Basis of Consolidation
 
Under the 1940 Act rules, the regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services and benefits to us. Our financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of Full Circle West, Inc. and Full Circle ICB, Inc., our only wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value — Definition and Hierarchy

In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, Full Circle Capital’s Board of Directors uses various valuation approaches. In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

 
27

 

Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Board of Directors. Unobservable inputs reflect the Board of Directors’ assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Board of Directors in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation Techniques

Senior and Subordinated Secured Loans

Our portfolio consists primarily of private debt instruments (“Level 3 debt”). The Company considers its Level 3 debt to be performing if the borrower is not in default, the borrower is remitting payments in a timely manner, the loan is in covenant compliance or is otherwise not deemed to be impaired. In determining the fair value of the performing Level 3 debt, the Company’s Board of Directors considers fluctuations in current interest rates, the trends in yields of debt instruments with similar credit ratings, financial condition of the borrower, economic conditions and other relevant factors, both qualitative and quantitative. In the event that a Level 3 debt instrument is not performing, as defined above, the Company’s Board of Directors will evaluate the value of the collateral utilizing the same framework described above for a performing loan to determine the value of the Level 3 debt instrument.

            This evaluation will be updated no less than quarterly for Level 3 debt instruments, and more frequently for time periods where there are significant changes in the investor base or significant changes in the perceived value of the underlying collateral. The collateral value will be analyzed on an ongoing basis using internal metrics, appraisals, third party valuation agents and other data as may be acquired and analyzed by Management and the Company’s Board of Directors.

Investments in Private Companies

The Company’s Board of Directors determines the fair value of its investments in private companies by incorporating valuations that consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market-based information, including comparable transactions, and performance multiples, among other factors, including third party valuation agents. These nonpublic investments are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 
28

 

Warrants

The Company’s Board of Directors ascribes value to warrants based on fair value analyses that can include discounted cash flow analyses, option pricing models, comparable analyses and other techniques as deemed appropriate.

Revenue Recognition
 
Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method.
 
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, closing and/or commitment fees associated with senior and subordinated secured loans are accreted into interest income over the respective terms of the applicable loans. Upon the prepayment of a senior or subordinated secured loan, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, closing and commitment fees are recorded as interest income.
 
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Structuring fees, excess deal deposits, prepayment fees and similar fees are recognized as Other Income as earned, usually when paid. Other fee income, including annual fees and monitoring fees are included in Other Income.  

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements of Full Circle Capital in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts disclosed in the financial statements of Full Circle Capital. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

In February 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“ASU 2011-02”).  ASU 2011-02 clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  ASU 2011-02 provides guidance to clarify whether the creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  The adoption of ASU 2011-02 did not have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Current Market Conditions and Market Opportunity

 We believe that the current credit environment provides favorable opportunities to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns on the types of senior secured loans and other investments we may target. In particular, we believe that, despite an overall fall off in loan demand due to the depressed economic conditions, demand for financing from smaller to lower middle-market companies is largely outpacing the availability of lenders that have traditionally served this market. We believe that bank consolidations, the failure of a number of alternative lending vehicles due to poor underwriting practices and an overall tightening of underwriting standards has significantly reduced the number and activity level of potential lenders.

We believe there has long been a combination of demand for capital and an underserved market for capital addressing smaller and lower middle-market borrowers. We believe there is robust demand for continued growth capital as well as demand from very significant refinancing requirements of many borrowers as debt facilities come due, given the lack of willing and qualified capital providers.  We believe these market conditions have been further exacerbated in the current environment due to:

 
o
larger lenders exiting this market to focus on larger investment opportunities which are more appropriate for their operating cost structures;

 
o
the elimination of many specialized lenders from the market due to lack of capital as a result of, for instance, the closing off of the securitization market or their own poor performance, and

 
o
the need for certain capital providers to reduce lending activities due to their reduced access to capital and the overall deleveraging of the financial market.
 
With the decreased availability of debt capital for smaller to lower middle-market borrowers, combined with the significant demand for refinancing, we believe there are increased lending opportunities for us. As always, we remain cautious in selecting new investment opportunities, and will only deploy capital in deals which are consistent with our disciplined philosophy of pursuing superior risk-adjusted returns.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of $70,815. This consisted of $263,304 of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments offset by $192,489 of net unrealized appreciation on equity investments.  

On February 17, 2011, the Company placed Bloomingdale Partners, LP in default on its loan.  The Company is actively pursuing recovery, and in connection therewith, the assets of Bloomingdale Partners, LP have been transferred to Texas Westchester Financial, LLC. Accordingly, the Company has acquired a Control Investment in Texas Westchester Financial, LLC through the Company’s ownership of LLC units therein.  The Company’s Board of Directors determined that the value of this investment should be written down, resulting in a $815,668 unrealized loss for the year ended June 30, 2011, which is included above in net unrealized depreciation for the year ended June 30, 2011. 

The following table shows the fair value of our portfolio of investments by asset class as of September 30, 2011, and June 30, 2011, excluding United States Treasury Bills of approximately $35.0 million and $26.0 million, respectively:

Portfolio Grading
 
We have adopted a credit grading system to monitor the quality of our debt investment portfolio, excluding United States Treasury Bills of approximately $35.0 million. As of September 30, 2011, our portfolio had a weighted average grade of 3.14, based upon the fair value of the debt investments in the portfolio. Equity securities are not graded. This was a decline of 0.03 from the weighted average grade of 3.11 at June 30, 2011, which was based upon the fair value of the debt investments in the portfolio:

The number and amount of investments included in grades 4 or 5 may fluctuate from period to period.
 
Results of Operations
 
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010

Full Circle Capital commenced operations on August 31, 2010, so the results for the three months ended September 30, 2010, reflect approximately one month of operations subsequent to the completion of the Full Circle Portfolio Acquisition.
 
Total Investment Income
 
Total investment income includes interest and dividend income on our investments and other income, which is comprised entirely of fee income for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Fee income consists principally of administrative fees, prepayment fees, structuring fees and unused line fees.
 
Total investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was $2,558,243. This amount consisted of $2,087,700 of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $68,842 of PIK interest) and $470,543 of fee income.

Total investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2010, was $867,582. This amount consisted of $802,204 of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $26,251 of PIK interest), $57,500 of dividend income and $7,878 of fee income.
 
Expenses
 
Gross operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $1,327,693.  Net operating expenses (offset by the waived portion of the base management fee and the accrual for the expense reimbursement) for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $1,013,901.

Gross operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010, were $655,409.  Net operating expenses (offset by the waived portion of the base management fee and the accrual for waiver of operating expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2010, were $560,799.

As the company commenced operations on August 31, 2010, the expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010, represent approximately one month of operations, except for organizational expenses of $143,983, which were incurred over the three months ended September 30, 2010, and operating expenses of $18,465, which were incurred in the months of July and August.
 
Net Investment Income (Loss)
 
Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was $1,544,342. Net investment income per share was $0.25 for the period.

As the company commenced operations on August 31, 2010, the net investment income of $306,783 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, represents approximately one month of operations, except for organizational expenses of $143,983, which were incurred over the three months ended September 30, 2010, and operating expenses of $18,465, which were incurred in the months of July and August.  Organizational expenses are not expected to reoccur.  Net investment income per share was $0.06 for the time period from August 31, 2010 to September 30, 2010.

Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments
 
Realized gain (loss) on the sale of investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their stated costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded a realized gain of $125,806 primarily in connection with the repayment of a portion of our interests in West World Media, LLC. Realized gain per share for the period was $0.02.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a realized gain in the amount of $6,063 in connection with the repayment of a portion of our interests in Attention Transit Advertising Systems, LLC, Bloomingdale Partners, LP, Icon Groupe, LLC and Ygnition Networks, Inc.  All of these transactions occurred subsequent to the commencement of operations on August 31, 2010.  Realized gain per share was $0.00 for the time period from August 31, 2010 to September 30, 2010.

Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments
 
Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized. Change in unrealized loss per share was $0.01 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of $70,815. This consisted of $263,304 of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments offset by $192,489 of net unrealized appreciation on equity investments.

Net unrealized loss per share was $0.02 for the time period from August 31, 2010 to September 30, 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of $105,854. This consisted of $197,142 of net unrealized appreciation on debt investments and $302,996 of net unrealized depreciation on equity investments recognized between the commencement of operations on August 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2011, we had investments in debt securities of fourteen companies, totaling approximately $67.1 million, and equity investments in eight companies, totaling approximately $1.8 million.

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011, consisting primarily of purchases of investments and the items described in "Results of Operations," was approximately $11.6 million, reflecting the purchases and repayments of investments, income resulting from operations, offset by non-cash income related to PIK interest and OID income, changes in working capital and accrued interest receivable. Net cash used in purchases and sales of investments was approximately $11.8 million, reflecting net additional investments in existing securities, offset by principal repayments.  Such amounts are not inclusive of our purchase of United States Treasury Bills or Money Market Funds.
  
Immediately prior to the Full Circle Portfolio Acquisition, Full Circle Capital entered into the Credit Facility, a secured revolving credit facility with First Capital. The facility size is $35 million and will expire in January 2012. Under the agreement, base rate borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 5.50%. As of September 30, 2011, we had $12.7 million outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.
 
As of September 30, 2011, we had Distribution Notes outstanding of approximately $3.4 million. These senior unsecured notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly in cash, and mature on February 28, 2014.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company did not have any cash equivalents in its investment portfolio.

As a business development company, we generally have an ongoing need to raise additional capital for investment purposes. As a result, we expect, from time to time, to access the debt and equity markets when we believe it is necessary and appropriate to do so. In this regard, we are currently exploring various options for obtaining additional debt or equity capital for investments, which may include extending or replacing our Credit Facility, or the issuance of additional shares of our common stock, possibly at prices below our then current net asset value per share. If we are unable to obtain leverage or raise equity capital on terms that are acceptable to us, our ability to grow our portfolio will be substantially impacted.

As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $7.2 million in unfunded loan commitments, subject to our approval in certain instances, to provide debt financing to certain of our portfolio companies.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices.
 
Borrowings

Secured Revolving Credit Facility.   Immediately prior to the Full Circle Portfolio Acquisition, Full Circle Capital entered into the Credit Facility, a secured revolving credit facility with First Capital. The facility size is $35 million and will expire in January 2012. Under the agreement, base rate borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 5.50%. The Credit Facility is secured by all of our assets. Under the Credit Facility we are required to satisfy several financial covenants, including maintaining a minimum level of Net Assets, a maximum level of leverage and minimum asset coverage and interest coverage ratios. In addition, we are required to comply with other general covenants, including with respect to indebtedness, liens, restricted payments and mergers and consolidations.

Distribution Notes. The Distribution Notes consist of $3.4 million in senior unsecured notes, which bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly in cash, and mature on February 28, 2014. The Distribution Notes are callable by us at any time, in whole or in part, at a price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In electing to exercise our call right with respect to the Distribution Notes, our Board of Directors will consider all of the relevant factors, including alternative uses of available capital and whether any Distribution Notes have recently been transferred or sold at prices below par value, and will be required to determine that such a call is in the best interests of Full Circle Capital and our stockholders. The Distribution Notes subject Full Circle Capital to customary covenants, including, among other things, a restriction on incurring any debt on a junior lien basis, or any debt that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other debt unless it is also subordinated to the Distribution Notes on substantially identical terms. The agreement under which the Distribution Notes were issued contains customary events of default.
 
Distributions
 
In order to qualify as a regulated investment company and to avoid corporate level tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we are required, under Subchapter M of the Code, to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and short-term capital gains to our stockholders on an annual basis.

(2) From our initial public offering through the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011, we paid quarterly dividends, but in the first fiscal quarter of 2012 we began paying, and we intend to continue paying, monthly dividends to our stockholders. Our monthly dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
 
Related Parties

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
 
 
We have entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with Full Circle Advisors. John E. Stuart, our Chief Executive Officer and President, is the manager of, and has financial and controlling interests in, Full Circle Advisors.

 
We have entered into the Administration Agreement with Full Circle Service Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, Full Circle Service Company provides us with the office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. Mr. Stuart, our Chief Executive Officer and President, is the managing member of, and has financial and controlling interests in, Full Circle Service Company.

 
We have entered into a license agreement with Full Circle Advisors, pursuant to which Full Circle Advisors has agreed to grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Full Circle.”

 
Our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, William E. Vastardis, is the President of Vastardis Fund Services LLC. Full Circle Service Company has engaged Vastardis Fund Services to provide certain administrative services to us.
 
Full Circle Advisors’ investment team presently manages Full Circle Funding, LP, a specialty lender serving smaller and lower middle-market companies. Although the existing investment funds managed by Full Circle Funding, LP, which currently consist of the Legacy Funds, are no longer making investments in new opportunities, any affiliated investment vehicle formed in the future and managed by our investment adviser or its affiliates may, notwithstanding different stated investment objectives, have overlapping investment objectives with our own and, accordingly, may invest in asset classes similar to those targeted by us. Full Circle Advisors and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, Full Circle Advisors or its affiliates may determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, and consistent with Full Circle Advisors’ allocation procedures. In connection with our acquisition of the Legacy Portfolio, we issued an aggregate of 4,191,415 shares of our common stock and approximately $3.4 million of Distribution Notes to the Legacy Investors, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement.

We have also adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to, among others, our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of our officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Ethics requires that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests. Pursuant to our Code of Ethics, each employee and director must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict, to our Chief Compliance Officer. Our Audit Committee is charged with approving any waivers under our Code of Ethics. As required by the NASDAQ corporate governance listing standards, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is also required to review and approve any transactions with related parties (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).
  
Recent Developments
 
Dividend

On November 7, 2011, the Board of Directors declared monthly dividends of $0.077, $0.077 and $0.077 per share payable on February 15, 2012 for holders of record at January 31, 2012, March 15, 2012 for holders of record at February 29, 2012 and April 13, 2012 for holders of record at March 30, 2012, respectively.

Recent Portfolio Activity

Subsequent to September 30, 2011, the Company extended the loan to Iron City Brewing, LLC through November 30, 2011.
 
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2011, three debt investments in our portfolio were at a fixed rate, and the remaining seventeen debt investments were at variable rates, representing approximately $11 million and $47 million in principal debt, respectively. A portion of our floating rate debt instruments are currently at their floor interest rate.  The variable rates are based upon the Prime rate or LIBOR.
 
To illustrate the potential impact of a change in the underlying interest rate on our net investment income, we have assumed a 1% increase in the underlying Prime rate or LIBOR, and no other change in our portfolio as of September 30, 2011. We have also assumed $3.4 million of outstanding borrowings, with no outstanding borrowings having a floating rate based upon LIBOR. Under this analysis, net investment income would increase by approximately $0.3 million annually. If we had instead assumed a 1% decrease in the underlying Prime rate or LIBOR, net investment income would decrease correspondingly by approximately $0.2 million annually. Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing interest rate sensitivity at September 30, 2011, it does not adjust for changes in the credit quality, size and composition of our portfolio, and other business developments, including borrowing under a credit facility, that could affect the net increase in net assets resulting from operations. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the results under this hypothetical analysis.

We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates. 

Item 4. 
Controls and Procedures
 
As of September 30, 2011, we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of material information about us required to be included in periodic SEC filings.

 There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 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
 
None of us, our investment adviser or administrator, is currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us, or against our investment adviser or administrator. From time to time, we, our investment adviser or administrator, may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
