Full Circle Capital Corporation

1,350,000 Shares
Common Stock

We are offering for sale 1,350,000 shares of our common stock. We are an externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the “1940 Act.” Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments.

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “FULL.” On November 26, 2012, the last reported sales price on the NASDAQ Capital Market for our common stock was $8.12 per share. Our net asset value per share of our common stock as of September 30, 2012 was $8.51.

These shares are being offered at a discount from our most recently determined estimated net asset value per share of $8.51 pursuant to the authority granted by our common stockholders at our 2011 annual meeting of stockholders and a determination by our Board of Directors that it would be in our and our stockholders' best interests to do so. Our current authority to offer shares at a price below net asset value per share ends on December 20, 2012, unless our stockholders extend this authority at our 2012 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on such date. Sales of common stock at prices below net asset value per share dilute the interests of existing stockholders, have the effect of reducing our net asset value per share and may reduce our market price per share. See “Sales of Common Stock Below Net Asset Value” on page S- 19 of this prospectus supplement and on page 99 of the accompanying prospectus.

An investment in our common stock is subject to risks and involves a heightened risk of total loss of investment. In addition, the companies in which we invest are subject to special risks. For example, we invest in securities that are 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” or “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 15 of the accompanying prospectus to read about factors you should consider, including the risk of leverage, before investing in our common stock.

Please read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before investing in our common stock and keep each for future reference.

We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

It is not complete and may not contain all the information that is important to you. For a more complete understanding of the offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement, we encourage you to read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and the documents to which we have referred in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Together, these documents describe the specific terms of the shares we are offering. You should carefully read the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus supplement and the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in the accompanying prospectus.

Except where the context requires otherwise, the terms “Full Circle Capital,” the “Company,” or “we” refer to Full Circle Capital Corporation; “Full Circle Advisors” or our “investment adviser” refers to Full Circle Advisors, LLC; and “Full Circle Service Company” or our “administrator” refers to Full Circle Service Company, LLC. Except as otherwise noted, all information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus assumes no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

Overview

Full Circle Capital, a Maryland corporation formed in April 2010, is an externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) 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.

We invest primarily in 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. 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.

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 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 most of 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 can 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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 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. In connection with our initial public offering in August 2010, we acquired a portfolio of investments (the “Legacy Portfolio”), valued at approximately $72 million, from the Legacy Funds in exchange for shares of our common stock and senior unsecured notes (the “Distribution Notes”).

Our headquarters are located at 800 Westchester Ave., Suite S-620, Rye Brook, New York 10573 and our telephone number is (914) 220-6300.

The Investment Adviser

We are managed by Full Circle Advisors, whose investment committee members have an average of nearly 19 years of experience financing and investing in smaller and lower middle-market companies. Full Circle Advisors is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee also presently manages Full Circle Funding, LP, a specialty lender serving smaller and lower middle-market companies. Through September 30, 2012, the investment committee has originated approximately $270 million in loans and investments in 53 distinct borrowers since inception of Full Circle Funding, LP in 2005 and through activities at Full Circle Advisors since August 2010. The existing investment funds managed by Full Circle Funding, LP, which currently consist of the Legacy Funds, have been fully committed and are no longer making investments in new opportunities. The Legacy Funds are expected to be wound down as their remaining investments mature. Full Circle Funding, LP and other affiliates of our investment adviser may manage other funds and accounts in the future.

We benefit from the proven ability of our investment adviser’s investment committee to identify attractive investment opportunities, conduct diligence on and value prospective investments, negotiate terms, secure collateral against our loans and manage and monitor a diversified portfolio of those investments. Our investment adviser’s investment committee members have broad investment backgrounds, with prior experience at investment banks, commercial banks, unregistered investment funds and other financial services companies, and have collectively developed a broad network of contacts to provide us with our principal source of investment opportunities.

Our investment adviser is controlled and led by John E. Stuart, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Stuart is assisted by Stephen J. Healey, Lawrence Chua and Crandall Deery, who each serve as a Vice President of Full Circle Advisors. We consider Messrs. Stuart, Healey, Chua and Deery to be Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee.

Business Strategy

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We have adopted the following business strategies to achieve our investment objective:

Deliver Flexible Financing Solutions.   We believe our ability to provide a broad range of flexible debt financing solutions to smaller and lower middle-market companies sets us apart from other capital providers. We offer to our portfolio companies debt financing facilities that, combined with our ability to recognize the underlying value and security of diverse types of traditional and non-traditional asset-based collateral, we believe allows us to provide flexible facilities to fit the capital requirements of each borrower. We believe that our focus on providing senior secured and stretch senior loans provides a more efficient and less complicated capital structure and source of capital for borrowers. We also believe that it maximizes our control of and exposure to asset-based collateral coverage as security for our loans, thereby greatly reducing our risk of possible losses due to deterioration in a borrower’s performance.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Target Smaller and Lower Middle-Market Companies.   We generally provide capital to our portfolio companies for growth capital, acquisition financing and refinancing of existing debt facilities. We believe our target portfolio companies are generally involved in industries or markets that are under-followed or serviced because they are either less visible to mainstream institutions or investors, or are too small or localized for larger financial institutions or larger funds, particularly those that lack the requisite industry-specific knowledge and expertise. We believe there have historically been fewer banks and finance companies focused on lending to these types of smaller and lower middle-market companies. As a result, we believe we can negotiate terms on loans to these types of companies that generally possess better risk-adjusted return profiles than terms on loans to larger, more mainstream companies. Such favorable terms may include higher debt yields, lower leverage levels, more significant covenant protection and/or greater equity grants than typical of transactions involving larger companies. 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.
Focus on Senior Secured Lending and Structuring of Investments to Minimize Risk of Loss.   We seek to structure our loan investments on a favorable loan-to-value (“LTV”) exposure based on underlying collateral or enterprise value with high cash yields, cash origination fees, low leverage levels and strong investment protections. We generally seek to protect against risk of loss on our debt investments by securing most of our loans against a significant level of tangible or intangible assets of our borrowers, obtaining a favorable LTV ratio or other financial protections or credit enhancements, rather than lending predominantly against anticipated cash flows of borrowers. We believe this provides us with more options and a greater likelihood of repayment from both cash flow and/or asset sales.
Structure Loans with Superior Security and Asset Protection.   Our loan instruments and documentation focus on favorable lender protections with security over the collateral, financial and other covenants and rigorous reporting requirements on behalf of our borrowers. We monitor covenant and other loan compliance on a monthly and quarterly basis and personnel from our investment adviser will have periodic field exams performed at the borrower level. We utilize both term debt and revolving loan structures and, accordingly, often seek to maintain control of our borrowers’ cash receipts from revenues as additional security for our positions. As of September 30, 2012, we had, or had the ability to institute, lockbox or dominion of cash, or account control agreements, on all of the borrowers in our portfolio, as calculated by principal amount, fair value and annual revenue. Such amounts are not inclusive of our holdings of United States Treasury Bills. In addition, we may seek credit enhancements, such as personal guarantees from a borrower’s principal owners or “make well” features to provide us with additional equity in the event of underperformance. We may also seek a pledge of stock or other assets from a borrower or its operating subsidiaries.
Pursue Attractive Risk Adjusted Returns.   As of September 30, 2012, the weighted average annualized yield of the debt investments comprising our portfolio was approximately 12.84%. In the future, a component of our interest may be in the form of payment-in-kind, or “PIK,” interest. PIK interest represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term and recorded as interest income on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. For additional information regarding PIK interest and related risks, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Structure — We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.” The 27 individual debt investments from 17 distinct borrowers, included in our portfolio, averaged a LTV ratio of approximately 62% as of September 30, 2012 (i.e., each $62 of loan value outstanding is secured by $100 of collateral value). Although it is subject to fluctuation, we believe this LTV ratio, which measures the aggregate amount of our loan positions against the aggregate amount of primary collateral value pledged by our borrowers as security against our loans, reflects the relative strength of the debt investments comprising our portfolio. Finally, our debt investments are designed to have strong protections beyond repayment from cash

TABLE OF CONTENTS

flow and asset liquidation coverage, including default penalties, information rights, and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, such as lien protection and prohibitions against change of control. We believe this level of collateral protection helps minimize against the risk of loss, even if a loan goes into default.
Leveraging the Skill, Experience and Resources of Full Circle Advisors’ Investment Committee.   Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee members have an average of approximately 19 years of experience financing and investing in smaller and lower middle-market companies. The investment committee members have broad investment and operational backgrounds, with prior experience at specialty finance companies, investment management firms, private equity investment funds, investment banks and other financial services companies. We believe their expertise in analyzing, valuing, structuring, negotiating, closing, monitoring and restructuring transactions should provide us with a competitive advantage by allowing us to consider customized financing solutions and non-traditional and complex structures. We believe this experience should also be valuable when we have to work with stressed and distressed credits.
Balanced Investing Across Industries with Expertise.   While we seek to maintain a portfolio of investments that is appropriately balanced among various companies, industries, geographic regions and end markets, we focus our investing activities on certain areas that we believe maintain favorable asset coverage positions, including the media, communications and business services industries. We believe that the stable, long term asset values that may be found in many of the industries in which we invest can provide us with significant collateral protection on our loans, in contrast to taking some of the risks of repayment attendant to relying exclusively on a borrower’s current cash flows. Going forward, we intend to seek to maintain a balanced portfolio to mitigate the potential effects of negative economic events for particular companies, regions and industries.
Capitalize on Strong Transaction Sourcing Network.   Our investment adviser’s investment committee seeks to leverage their extensive network of referral sources for investments in smaller and lower middle-market companies. We believe through their prior investment experience, the investment committee members have collectively developed a reputation in our target market and in the industries in which we invest as a responsive, efficient and reliable source of flexible financing.
Employ Disciplined Underwriting Policies and Rigorous Portfolio Management.   We directly originate most of our investments, which, in our experience, generally allows us to pursue a more rigorous due diligence examination of the investments than if we invest as part of a lending syndicate led by others. Our investment adviser’s investment committee has developed an extensive underwriting due diligence process which includes a review of the prospects, competitive position, financial performance and industry dynamics of each potential portfolio company. In underwriting a potential borrower, they engage in a variety of quantitative and qualitative stress tests, and analyze our ability to successfully liquidate a favorable collateral package underlying a loan in the event of default. These processes continue during the portfolio monitoring process, when our investment adviser will, depending on the borrower, analyze monthly and/or quarterly financial statements versus the previous periods and year, review financial projections, conduct field examinations, meet with management, attend board meetings, review all compliance certificates and covenants and regularly assess the financial and business conditions and prospects of borrowers.

Market Opportunity

We believe that the current credit environment provides favorable opportunities to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns on the types of asset-based senior secured loans we target. In particular, we believe that demand for financing from smaller to lower middle-market companies is largely outpacing the availability of lenders that have traditionally served this market. While this has traditionally been an underserved market, we believe the supply-demand imbalance of loans to smaller borrowers was exacerbated by the credit crisis in 2008/2009, and has not fully recovered. 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.

S-5


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Thus we believe that the current credit markets combined with certain long term trends associated with lending to smaller and lower middle-market companies provide the ideal market environment.

Competitive Edge and Skill Set.   Our core strength of providing efficient and flexible lending solutions to smaller and lower middle-market companies requires a market approach and skill set that we believe is generally not found in larger or more localized regional lenders. We believe that many of the companies we target operate in industries that are less visible or too specialized for larger mainstream institutions or investors, or alternatively, require too little funding or are too localized for larger financial institutions to consider, particularly in cases where those institutions lack the requisite industry-specific knowledge and expertise. From 1992 through 2011, loan composition for banks sized greater than $1 billion in assets showed a decline of commercial and industrial loans from 30% of net loans to 20% of net loans while real estate lending grew from 39% of net loans to 52% of net loans. Accordingly, we believe that many potential competitive bank lenders lack the personnel or lending experience required to address the strong market demand for commercial and industrial lending. Data reported by the Federal Reserve corroborates a supply and demand imbalance for loans to smaller companies. The July 2012 Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices reported that larger domestic banks noted stronger demand for loans during the second quarter of 2012. While domestic banks have reported easing of lending standards to large and middle-market firms, standards on loans to small firms (defined as those with annual sales of less than $50 million) were little changed on balance for the fourth consecutive survey. In addition, the report stated that lending standards at U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks continued to tighten for commercial and industrial loans to small firms, while domestic banks continued to report a rise in the number of inquiries from potential business borrowers regarding new or increased credit lines. Additionally, the report stated that a majority of domestic banks have recently reported stronger demand for commercial and industrial loans due to increases in customers' funding needs related to inventories, accounts receivable, investment in plant or equipment and mergers and acquisitions. We believe these bank lending market conditions will continue the existing funding gaps for firms comprising our target market. Additionally, we believe our strengths include the ability to originate, underwrite and manage a more labor intensive portfolio consisting of debt investments in smaller companies, and to operate underwriting, due diligence and loan portfolio management activities.
Strong Demand For Capital Coupled with Fewer Providers.   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. Further, we believe the supply-demand imbalance of smaller borrowers to lenders serving that market was exacerbated by the credit crisis in 2008/2009, and has not fully recovered. 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.

More Conservative Deal Structures.   As a result of, and in the aftermath of, the recent credit crisis, we believe lenders are mandating less leverage, more equity and tighter loan covenants than what had previously been customary. We believe that lower purchase prices for assets and lower debt

S-6


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

multiples, combined with greater equity cushions beneath loans, allows for greater cash flow for debt service, creating faster loan repayments despite overall higher debt costs to borrowers. We believe this aspect provides considerable cushion against underperformance and default of borrowers as well as faster de-risking of loan positions as credit statistics improve over the term of the loan facilities.
Attractive Return Profile.   We believe the reduced access to, and reduced availability of, debt capital has decreased competition in smaller to lower middle-market lending which had already become less competitive and more fragmented prior to the credit crisis, resulting in a better market for loan pricing. We believe that the withdrawal of many traditional senior lenders from the market, combined with reduced advance rates and leverage levels, allows for stretch senior lenders to charge rates that typically reflect mezzanine or subordinated structures for entire facilities, while maintaining first lien senior secured positions over the loan collateral provided by the borrowers. Our investment adviser’s investment committee has experienced this attractive return environment since the onset of the credit crisis in 2009, when transactions originated by them saw increased returns from interest and fees charged, as well as more meaningful warrant participations.

THE OFFERING

Common stock offered by us    
    1,350,000 shares (excluding shares issuable upon exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option)
Common stock outstanding prior to this offering    
    6,219,382 shares
Common stock to be outstanding after this offering    
    7,569,382 shares (excluding shares issuable upon exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option)
Use of proceeds    
    If we sell 1,350,000 shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of $10,665,000, we anticipate that our net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses payable by us, will be approximately $10.0 million. We intend to initially use the net proceeds from this offering to temporarily repay outstanding debt borrowed under our $35.0 million Credit Facility. However, subsequent to such repayment, we intend to borrow additional amounts under our Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, which may include investing in new portfolio companies in accordance with our investment objective and strategies described in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, acquisitions and for other general working capital purposes. Pending these uses, we will invest such net proceeds primarily in cash, cash equivalents, and U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less consistent with our business development company election and our election to be taxed as a RIC, at yields significantly below those we expect to earn on our other portfolio investments. The management fee payable by us to our investment adviser will not be reduced while our assets are invested in these temporary investments. See “Use of Proceeds.”
Distributions    
    To the extent that we have income available, we intend to make monthly dividends to our stockholders. The amount of our dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. Any dividends to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. See “Price Range of Common Stock and Distributions” in the accompanying prospectus.
Lock-up agreements    
    We, along with each of our directors and officers, have agreed that we will not, without the prior written consent of Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., on behalf of the underwriters, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of or agree to sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly or hedge shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares for a period of 90 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, provided, however, that we may issue and sell shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. in its sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice.
Taxation    
    We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders as dividends. To maintain our RIC tax treatment, we

    must meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute annually at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any. See “Price Range of Common Stock and Distributions” and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus.

Offering expenses borne by us (as a percentage of offering price)     1.64 % (2)  
Dividend reinvestment plan expenses     (3)  
Total stockholder transaction expenses (as a percentage of offering price)     6.64 %  
Annual expenses (as a percentage of net assets attributable to common stock):
 
Base management fee     2.57 % (4)  
Incentive fees payable under our investment advisory agreement     2.33 % (5)  
Interest payments on borrowed funds     5.98 % (6)  
Other expenses     3.75 % (7)  
Total annual expenses     14.63 % (8)  

EXAMPLE

The following example, required by the SEC, demonstrates the projected dollar amount of total cumulative expenses that would be incurred over various periods with respect to a hypothetical investment in us. In calculating the following expense amounts, we assumed we would maintain the current amount of leverage, that our operating expenses would remain at the levels set forth in the table above, that we pay the transaction expenses set forth in the table above, including a sales load of 5.0% paid by you (the underwriting discount with respect to the shares of our common stock sold by us in this offering).

       
  1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years
You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5% annual return   $ 199     $ 416     $ 599     $ 937  

The example and the expenses in the tables above should not be considered a representation of our future expenses, and actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.   Moreover, while the example assumes, as required by the SEC, a 5% annual return, our performance will vary and may result in a return greater or less than 5%. The incentive fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement, which, assuming a 5% annual return, would either not be payable or have a de minimis effect, is not included in the example. If we achieve sufficient returns on our investments to trigger an incentive fee of a material amount, our expenses, and returns to our investors, would be higher. In addition, while the example assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value, participants in our dividend reinvestment plan may receive shares valued at the market price in effect at that time. This price may be at, above or below net asset value. See “Dividend Reinvestment Plan” in the accompanying prospectus for additional information regarding our dividend reinvestment plan.

(1) Represents the underwriting discount with respect to the shares of our common stock sold by us in this offering.
(2) The expenses of this offering payable by us are estimated to be approximately $175,000. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, the offering expenses borne by our common stockholders (as a percentage of the offering price) will be approximately 1.43%.
(3) The expenses of the dividend reinvestment plan are included in “other expenses.”

(4) Assumes gross assets of $77.7 million and $26.5 million of leverage, and assumes net assets of $52.9 million. Our base management fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement is based on our gross assets, which is defined as all the assets of Full Circle Capital, including those acquired using borrowings for investment purposes. Because we use borrowings for investment purposes, it has the effect of increasing our gross assets upon which our base management fee is calculated, while our net assets remain unchanged. See “Investment Advisory Agreement” in the accompanying prospectus.
(5) Assumes that annual incentive fees earned by Full Circle Advisors remain consistent with the incentive fees earned by Full Circle Advisors during the period ended September 30, 2012. Incentive fees would increase if, and to the extent that, we earn greater interest income through our investments in portfolio companies and realize additional capital gains upon the sale of warrants or other equity investments in such companies. The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which is payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of the excess, if any, of our “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” that exceeds a 1.75% quarterly (7.0% annualized) hurdle rate, which we refer to as the Hurdle, subject to a “catch-up” provision measured at the end of each calendar quarter. The first part of the incentive fee is computed and paid on income that may include interest that is accrued but not yet received in cash. The operation of the first part of the incentive fee for each quarter is as follows:
no incentive fee is payable to our investment adviser in any calendar quarter in which our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Hurdle of 1.75%;
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) is payable to our investment adviser. 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 20.0% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as if a Hurdle did not apply when our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and
20.0% 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 our investment adviser (once the Hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20.0% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Investment Income thereafter is paid to our investment adviser).

The second part of the incentive fee equals 20.0% of our “Incentive Fee Capital Gains,” if any, which equals our realized capital gains 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. The second part of the incentive fee is payable, in arrears, at the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date). For a more detailed discussion of the calculation of this fee, see “Investment Advisory Agreement” in the accompanying prospectus.

(6) Assumes that we maintain our current level of $26.5 million of outstanding borrowings, including our approximately $3.4 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Distribution Notes”), as of September 30, 2012. Interest payments on borrowed funds represents our annualized interest expense based on the three months ended September 30, 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the effective annualized average interest rate, which includes all interest and related costs, was 5.98%. We may also issue preferred stock, which may be considered a form of leverage. While we have no present intent to do so, in the event we were to issue preferred stock, our borrowing costs, and correspondingly our total annual expenses, including our base management fee as a percentage of our net assets, would increase.
(7) Assumes that the amount of our operating expenses remains consistent with the operating expenses incurred by us during the three months ended September 30, 2012.
(8) The holders of shares of our common stock (and not the holders of our debt securities, if any) indirectly bear the cost associated with our annual expenses.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus 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 our company, 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. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:

our future operating results;
our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
the impact of investments that we expect to make;
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
our expected financings and investments;
the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital; and
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies.

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;
risks associated with possible disruption in our operations or the economy generally due to terrorism or natural disasters; and
the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus 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. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new loans and investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus 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” in the accompanying prospectus and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the respective dates of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. However, we will update this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus to reflect any material changes to the information contained herein. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act.”

USE OF PROCEEDS

If we sell 1,350,000 shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of $10,665,000, we anticipate that our net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses payable by us, will be approximately $10.0 million. We intend to initially use the net proceeds from this offering to temporarily repay outstanding debt borrowed under our $35.0 million Credit Facility. However, subsequent to such repayment, we intend to borrow additional amounts under our Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, which may include investing in new portfolio companies in accordance with our investment objective and strategies described herein, acquisitions and for other general working capital purposes.

As of November 26, 2012, we had $20.5 million of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. Borrowings under our Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 5.50% and, as amended, the Credit Facility expires on December 31, 2013. The Credit Facility is secured by all of our assets.

We estimate that it will take to three to six months for us to substantially invest the net proceeds of this offering, depending on the availability of attractive opportunities and market conditions. However, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to achieve this goal.

Pending these uses, we will invest the net proceeds of this offering primarily in cash, cash equivalents, and U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less consistent with our business development company election and our election to be taxed as a RIC, at yields significantly below those we expect to earn on our other portfolio investments. The management fee payable by us to our investment adviser will not be reduced while our assets are invested in these temporary investments.

(1) Net asset value per share is determined as of the last day in the relevant quarter and therefore may not reflect the net asset value per share on the date of the high and low sales prices. The net asset values shown are based on outstanding shares at the end of each period.
(2) Calculated as the respective high or low sales price less NAV, divided by NAV.
(3) Represents the cash distribution declared in the specified quarter. From our initial public offering through the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011, we paid quarterly distributions, but in the first fiscal quarter of 2012 we began paying, and we intend to continue paying, monthly distributions to our stockholders. Our monthly distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
* Not determinable at the time of filing.

On November 26, 2012, the last reported sales price of our common stock was $8.12 per share.

Shares of BDCs may trade at a market price that is less than the value of the net assets attributable to those shares. The possibility that our shares of common stock will trade at a discount from net asset value or at premiums that are unsustainable over the long term are separate and distinct from the risk that our net asset value will decrease. Since our initial public offering in September 2010 through November 26, 2012, our shares of common stock have traded at a discount to the net assets attributable to those shares. As of November 26, 2012, our shares of common stock traded at a discount equal to approximately 4.6% of the net assets attributable to those shares based upon our net asset value as of September 30, 2012. It is not possible to predict whether the shares offered hereby will trade at, above, or below net asset value.

We currently intend to distribute a minimum of 90% of our ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders. The amount of our distributions is determined by our Board of Directors. To the extent our taxable earnings for any fiscal year fall below the total amount of our distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to our stockholders. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, for tax purposes we made distributions in excess of our earnings of $730,258, or $0.117 per share. For tax purposes, we expect that distributions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 will be funded primarily from net investment income. However, during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we paid distributions of $0.231

per share and had net investment income of approximately $0.20 per share. Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. The tax character of distributions will be determined at the end of the fiscal year. However, if the character of such distributions were determined as of September 30, 2012, approximately $0.031 per share of our distributions would have been characterized as a tax return of capital to our stockholders. There can be no assurance that we will achieve investment results or maintain a tax status that will permit any particular level of dividend payment. Our ability to make distributions is limited by the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act. For a more detailed discussion, see “Regulation as a Business Development Company” in the accompanying prospectus.

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan. If your shares of common stock are registered in your own name, your distributions will automatically be reinvested under our dividend reinvestment plan in additional whole and fractional shares of common stock, unless you opt out of our dividend reinvestment plan by delivering a written notice to our dividend paying agent. If your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee, you should contact the broker or nominee for details regarding opting out of our dividend reinvestment plan.

SALES OF COMMON STOCK BELOW NET ASSET VALUE

At our 2011 Annual Stockholders Meeting, subject to certain determinations required to be made by our Board of Directors, our stockholders approved our ability to sell or otherwise issue shares of our common stock, not exceeding 25% of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to each such sale or issuance, at a price below net asset value per share during a period beginning on December 21, 2011 and expiring on December 20, 2012, the date of our 2012 Annual Stockholders Meeting (the “Stockholder Approval”). Our stockholders will vote on whether to extend this authority for a similar period at the 2012 Annual Stockholders Meeting. Our shares being offered in this prospectus supplement may be sold at a price below net asset value pursuant to the Stockholder Approval. For additional information, see “Sales of Common Stock Below Net Asset Value” in the accompanying prospectus.

In order to sell shares of common stock pursuant to this authorization, no further authorization from our stockholders will need to be solicited, but a majority of our directors who have no financial interest in the sale and a majority of our independent directors will have to (a) find that the sale is in our best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders and (b) in consultation with any underwriter or underwriters of the offering, make a good faith determination as of a time either immediately prior to the first solicitation by us or on our behalf of firm commitments to purchase such shares of common stock, or immediately prior to the issuance of such common stock, that the price at which such shares of common stock are to be sold is not less than a price which closely approximates the market value of those shares of common stock, less any distributing commission or discount.

In making a determination that an offering of common stock below its net asset value per share is in our and our stockholders’ best interests, our Board of Directors will consider a variety of factors including:

the effect that an offering below net asset value per share would have on our stockholders, including the potential dilution to the net asset value per share of our common stock our stockholders would experience as a result of the offering;
the amount per share by which the offering price per share and the net proceeds per share are less than our most recently determined net asset value per share;
the relationship of recent market prices of our common stock to net asset value per share and the potential impact of the offering on the market price per share of our common stock;
whether the estimated offering price would closely approximate the market value of shares of our common stock;
the potential market impact of being able to raise capital during the current financial market difficulties;
the nature of any new investors anticipated to acquire shares of our common stock in the offering;
the anticipated rate of return on and quality, type and availability of investments; and
the leverage available to us.

Our Board of Directors will also consider the fact that sales of shares of common stock at a discount will benefit our investment adviser as the investment adviser will earn additional investment management fees on the proceeds of such offerings, as it would from the offering of any other of our securities or from the offering of common stock at a premium to net asset value per share.

Sales by us of our common stock at a discount from net asset value per share pose potential risks for our existing stockholders whether or not they participate in the offering, as well as for new investors who participate in the offering. Any sale of common stock at a price below net asset value per share would result in an immediate dilution to existing common stockholders who do not participate in such sale on at least a pro-rata basis. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Offerings Pursuant to this Prospectus — Stockholders may incur dilution if we sell shares of our common stock in one or more offerings at prices below the then current net asset value per share of our common stock or issue securities to subscribe to, convert to or purchase shares of our common stock” in the accompanying prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following three headings and accompanying tables explain and provide hypothetical examples on the impact of this offering of our common stock at a price less than net asset value per share on three different types of investors:

existing stockholders who do not purchase any shares in the offering;
existing stockholders who purchase a relatively small amount of shares in the offering or a relatively large amount of shares in the offering; and
new investors who become stockholders by purchasing shares in the offering.

These examples are based on the sale of 1,350,000 shares at a public offering price of $7.90 per share, an underwriting discount and commission of 5.0%, offering expenses of $175,000 and no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

Impact On Existing Stockholders Who Do Not Participate in this Offering

Our current stockholders who do not participate in this offering below net asset value per share or who do not buy additional shares in the secondary market at the same or lower price as we obtain in the offering (after expenses and commissions) face the greatest potential risks. These stockholders will experience an immediate dilution in the net asset value of the shares of common stock they hold and their net asset value per share. These stockholders will also experience a disproportionately greater decrease in their participation in our earnings and assets and their voting power than the increase we will experience in our assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to the offering. These stockholders may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in net asset value per share. This decrease could be more pronounced if the size of the offering and level of discounts increases. Further, if current stockholders do not purchase any shares to maintain their percentage interest, regardless of whether this offering is above or below the then current net asset value, their voting power will be diluted.

The following chart illustrates the level of net asset value dilution that would be experienced by a current 0.10% stockholder who does not participate in this offering. It is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur.

Impact On Existing Stockholders Who Do Participate in this Offering

Our existing stockholders who participate in this offering below net asset value per share or who buy additional shares in the secondary market at the same or lower price as we obtain in the offering (after expenses and commissions) will experience the same types of net asset value dilution as the nonparticipating stockholders, although at a lower level, to the extent they purchase less than the same percentage of the discounted offering as their interest in shares of our common stock immediately prior to the offering. The level of net asset value dilution will decrease as the number of shares such stockholders purchase increases. Existing stockholders who buy more than such percentage will not experience net asset value dilution but will, in contrast to existing stockholders who purchase less than their proportionate share of the offering, experience accretion in net asset value per share over their investment per share and will also experience a disproportionately greater increase in their participation in our earnings and assets and their voting power than our increase in assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to the offering. The level of accretion will increase as the excess number of shares such stockholder purchases increases. Even a stockholder who over-participates will, however, be subject to the risk that we may make additional discounted offerings in which such stockholder does not participate, in which case such a stockholder will experience net asset value dilution as described above in such subsequent offerings. These stockholders may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in net asset value per share. This decrease could be more pronounced if the size of the offering and level of discounts increases.

The following table illustrates the level of dilution and accretion in this offering for a current 0.10% stockholder that acquires shares equal to (1) 50% of its proportionate share of the offering (i.e., 675 shares, which is .05% of this offering rather than its 0.10% proportionate share) and (2) 150% of such percentage (i.e., 2,025 shares, which is .015% of the offering rather than its 0.10% proportionate share). It is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur.

Impact On New Investors

Investors who are not currently stockholders and who participate in this offering of shares of our common stock below net asset value, but whose investment per share is greater than the resulting net asset value per share due to selling compensation and expenses paid by the Company, will experience an immediate decrease, although small, in the net asset value of their shares and their net asset value per share compared to the price they pay for their shares. Investors who are not currently stockholders and who participate in this offering of shares of our common stock below net asset value per share and whose investment per share is also less than the resulting net asset value per share due to selling compensation and expenses paid by the Company being significantly less than the discount per share, will experience an immediate increase in the net asset value of their shares and their net asset value per share compared to the price they pay for their shares. These investors will experience a disproportionately greater participation in our earnings and assets and their voting power than our increase in assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to the offering. These investors will, however, be subject to the risk that we may make additional discounted offerings in which such new stockholder does not participate, in which case such new stockholder will experience dilution as described above in such subsequent offerings. These investors may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in net asset value per share. This decrease could be more pronounced if the size of the offering and level of discounts increases.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information in this section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus supplement and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

We are an externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company formed in April 2010, and have 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.

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. In connection with our initial public offering in August 2010, we acquired a portfolio of investments (the “Legacy Portfolio”), valued at approximately $72 million, from the Legacy Funds in exchange for shares of our common stock and senior unsecured notes (the “Distribution Notes”). We invest primarily in 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. 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.

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

S-23

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 Art Credit Company, LLC, 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.

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

S-24


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.

Warrants

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

During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended June 30, 2012, there were no transfers in or out of levels.

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, board 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.

S-26


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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:

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

Waiver and Expense Reimbursement

Our investment adviser agreed to waive the 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.

Portfolio Grading

We have adopted a credit grading system to monitor the quality of our debt investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2012, our portfolio had a weighted average grade of 3.15, based upon the fair value of the debt investments in the portfolio, excluding United States Treasury Bills of approximately $25.0. Equity securities are not graded. This was an improvement of 0.15 from the weighted average grade of 3.30 at June 30, 2012.

At September 30, 2012, our debt investment portfolio was graded as follows:

     
  September 30, 2012
Grade   Summary Description   Fair Value   Percentage of Total Portfolio
1     Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio, the portfolio company is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk profile are favorable (including a potential exit).     $       %  
2     The portfolio company is performing above expectations and the risk profile is generally favorable.       8,111,228       10.75  
3     Risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination, the portfolio company is performing as expected, and the risk profile is generally neutral; all new investments are initially assessed a grade of 3.       46,836,486       62.07  
4     The portfolio company is performing below expectations, requires procedures for closer monitoring, may be out of compliance with debt covenants, and the risk profile is generally unfavorable       18,979,669       25.15  
5     The investment is performing well below expectations and the par value is not anticipated to be repaid in full.              
           $ 73,927,383       97.97 %  

At June 30, 2012, our debt investment portfolio was graded as follows:

     
  June 30, 2012
Grade   Summary Description   Fair Value   Percentage of Total Portfolio
1     Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio, the portfolio company is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk profile are favorable (including a potential exit).     $       %  
2     The portfolio company is performing above expectations and the risk profile is generally favorable.       6,788,625       9.38  
3     Risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination, the portfolio company is performing as expected, and the risk profile is generally neutral; all new investments are initially assessed a grade of 3.       44,638,741       61.70  
4     The portfolio company is performing below expectations, requires procedures for closer monitoring, may be out of compliance with debt covenants, and the risk profile is generally unfavorable       17,583,423       24.31  
5     The investment is performing well below expectations and is not anticipated to be repaid in full.       1,959,363       2.71  
              $ 70,970,152       98.10 %  

We expect that a portion of our investments will be in grades 4 or 5 from time to time, and, as such, we will be required to work with portfolio companies to improve their business and protect our investment. 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, 2012 and 2011

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, 2012. 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, 2012, was $2,773,303. This amount consisted of $2,579,098 of interest income from portfolio investments (which included no PIK interest), $34,097 of dividend income and $160,108 of fee income. Dividend income was solely earned from our investment in The Finance Company, LLC.

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.

The increase in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 relative to the same time period in 2011 was primarily due to growth in the size of our portfolio. The decrease in PIK interest for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to the fact that the Company received a prepayment from West World Media, LLC and ceased generating PIK interest from any of its portfolio investments. The increase in dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to the Company’s investment in The Finance Company, LLC in September 2011. The decrease in fee income, which can fluctuate, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily a result of fewer prepayment, administration and other fees during the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Expenses

Gross and net operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012, were $1,535,058.

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 waiver of operating expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $1,013,901.

The increase in our net operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily due to the increase in the Company’s borrowings to fund additional portfolio investments, which resulted in increased interest expense. Additionally, the expiration of the Expense Reimbursement Agreement and Management Fee waiver resulted in increased net operating expenses.

Net Investment Income (Loss)

Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2012, was $1,238,245. Net investment income per share was $0.20 for the period.

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.

The decrease in net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to the increase in net operating expenses due to the expiration of the Expense Reimbursement Agreement and Management Fee waiver and an increase in interest expenses due to the Company’s greater debt usage in the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 to fund portfolio growth. Additionally, the decrease in other income was due to lower fee income, which can fluctuate, as the Company received fewer prepayment fees during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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, 2012, we recorded a realized loss of $860,667, primarily from the conversion of our senior secured loan in Equisearch Acquisition, Inc. to a senior secured term loan in TransAmerican Asset Servicing Group, LLC upon the finalization of the Equisearch Acquisition, Inc.’s bankruptcy proceedings. Realized loss per share was $0.14 for the period.

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 equity interests in West World Media, LLC. Realized gain per share was $0.02 for the period.

The decrease in realized gains for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 was due to the items discussed above.

From time to time the Company may enter into a new transaction with a portfolio investment as a result of the sale, merger, foreclosure, bankruptcy or other corporate event involving the portfolio company. In such cases, the Company may receive newly-issued notes, securities and/or other consideration in exchange for, or resulting from, the cancellation of the instruments previously held by the Company with regard to that portfolio company. In such cases, the Company may experience a realized loss on the instrument being sold or cancelled, and, concurrently, an elimination of any previously recognized unrealized losses on the portfolio investment. Such elimination of unrealized loss is included on the Statements of Operations as an increase in the Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments.

Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments

Change in unrealized gain (loss) 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 gain (loss) on investments per share was $0.08 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded net unrealized appreciation of $517,313, primarily from the conversion of our senior secured loan in Equisearch Acquisition, Inc. to a senior secured term loan in TransAmerican Asset Servicing Group, LLC upon the finalization of Equisearch Acquisition, Inc.’s bankruptcy proceedings. This consisted of $133,634 of net unrealized appreciation on debt investments and $383,679 of net unrealized appreciation on equity investments. See related information in the Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments section.

Change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments per share was ($0.02) 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 and $192,489 of net unrealized appreciation on equity investments.

The increase in change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 was due to the items discussed above.

Comparison of the years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011

The increase in interest income for the year ended June 30, 2012 relative to the year ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the Company being in operations for the full fiscal year. The decrease in PIK interest for the year ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the fact that the Company received a prepayment from West World Media, LLC and ceased generating PIK interest from any of its portfolio investments. The decrease in dividend income for the year ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the Company redeeming its holding in First Capital Lotus Asset Based Fund.

Expenses

Gross Operating Expenses for the year ended June 30, 2012 were $5,307,300. Net Operating Expenses (offset by the waived portion of the base management fee and the accrual for the expense reimbursement) for the year ended June 30, 2012, were $4,993,508.

Organizational expenses are not expected to reoccur.

The increase in Gross Operating Expenses for the year ended June 30, 2012 relative to the year ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the Company being in operations for the full fiscal year. The increase in Net Operating Expenses was due to the Company being in operations for the full fiscal year and the management fee and expense waiver expiring during the year ended June 30, 2012.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income was $4,833,503, or $0.78 for the year ended June 30, 2012.

As the Company commenced operations on August 31, 2010, the net investment income of $4,334,379 for the year ended June 30, 2011 represents approximately ten months of operations, except for organizational expenses of $178,979, which were expensed as incurred over the year ended June 30, 2011, 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 $0.70 for the period from August 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011.

The increase in Net Investment Income and Net Investment Income per share was primarily due to the Company being in operations for the full fiscal year.

Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments

During the year ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a realized gain of $344,482. Of this gain, $240,509 was associated with the full repayment of the loans to Icon Groupe, LLC on January 31, 2011. Realized gain per share for the period from August 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011 was $0.06.

Change in unrealized depreciation per share was $0.32 for the year ended June 30, 2012. On January 19, 2012, Equisearch Acquisition, Inc. (“Equisearch”) filed for protection under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. At that date, the Company had an investment in Equisearch of $2,580,201 through a first lien, senior secured loan facility. At June 30, 2012 the fair value of our investment in Equisearch was $1,959,363.

On February 17, 2011, the Company placed Bloomingdale Partners, LP in default on its loan, with the assets being transferred to Texas Westchester Financial, LLC. 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. Change in unrealized depreciation per share was $0.29 for the period from August 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2012, we had investments in debt securities of seventeen companies, totaling approximately $73.9 million in fair value, and equity investments in seven companies, totaling approximately $1.5 million in fair value.

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in “Results of Operations,” was approximately $3.6 million, reflecting the purchases and repayments of investments, income resulting from operations, offset by non-cash income related to OID income, changes in working capital and accrued interest receivable. Net cash used in purchases and sales of investments was approximately $3.3 million, reflecting net additional investments in existing securities of $11.4 million, offset by principal repayments of $8.1 million. Such amounts are not inclusive of our purchase of United States Treasury Bills or Money Market Funds.

For the year ended June 30, 2012, cash provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of repayments of investments and the items described in “Results of Operations,” was approximately $13.3 million, reflecting the 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 for purchases and sales of investments was approximately $17.2 million, reflecting net additional investments in 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, as amended, expires on December 31, 2013. Under the agreement, base rate borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 5.50%. As of September 30, 2012, we had $23.1 million outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2012, we had Distribution Notes outstanding of approximately $3.4 million. These senior unsecured notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable quarterly in cash, and mature on February 28, 2014.

As of September 30, 2012, we held approximately $66,504 in cash and did not have any cash equivalents in our 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. This may include replacing or further extending 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 pursuant to a proposal, approved by our stockholders at our December 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, authorizing us to sell shares of our common stock below its then current net asset value per share in one or more offerings for a period of one year ending on December 20, 2012. We would need similar future approval from our stockholders to issue shares below the then current net asset value per share any time after the expiration of the current approval. 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.

In addition to the contractual obligations set forth above, we have certain obligations with respect to the investment advisory and administration services we receive. See “Overview”. We incurred $641,968 for investment advisory services and $205,379 for administrative services for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $6.3 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, as amended, expires on December 31, 2013. 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 8.0% 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.

Our monthly dividends, if any, are 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 managing member 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 (“Vastardis”). Full Circle Service Company has engaged Vastardis to provide certain administrative services to us. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, Vastardis was paid $73,429 for services provided under the Administration Agreement and $62,500 for the services of Mr. Vastardis as the Chief Financial Officer.

Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee 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 investors in the Legacy Funds.

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).

Credit Facility

On October 31, 2013, the Company re-extended the maturity of the Credit Facility through December 31, 2013.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2012, two debt investments in our portfolio were at a fixed rate, and the remaining 26 debt investments were at variable rates, representing approximately $5.3 million and $68.6 million in fair value debt, respectively. The majority 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, 2012. We have also assumed $23.1 million of outstanding borrowings bearing 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 $0.1 million annually. Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing interest rate sensitivity at September 30, 2012, 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.

UNDERWRITING

Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. is acting as representative of the underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and conditions stated in the underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus supplement, each underwriter named below has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to that underwriter, the number of shares set forth opposite the underwriter’s name.

 
Underwriter   Shares
Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.     700,000  
Maxim Group LLC     325,000  
National Securities Corporation     325,000  
Total     1,350,000  

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the shares included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the shares (other than those covered by the overallotment option described below) if they purchase any of the shares.

The underwriters propose to offer some of the shares directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and some of the shares to dealers at the public offering price less a concession not to exceed $0.237 per share. The underwriting discount of $0.395 per share is equal to 5.0% of the initial offering price. If all of the shares are not sold at the initial offering price, the representative may change the public offering price and other selling terms. The representative has advised us that the underwriters do not intend to confirm any sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

The underwriters hold an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase up to an additional 202,500 shares at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise the option solely for the purpose of covering overallotments, if any, in connection with this offering. To the extent such option is exercised, each underwriter must purchase a number of additional shares approximately proportionate to that underwriter’s initial purchase commitment.

We, along with each of our directors and officers, have agreed that we will not, without the prior written consent of Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., on behalf of the underwriters, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of or agree to sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly or hedge shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares for a period of 90 days from the date of this prospectus supplement (the “Lock-up Period”), provided, however, that we may issue and sell shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan and pursuant to certain other limited exceptions. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. in its sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice.

The Lock-up Period in the preceding paragraph will be extended if (i) during the last 17 days of the Lock-up Period we issue an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to Full Circle Capital occurs or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-up Period, in which case the restrictions described in the preceding sentence will continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the announcement of the material news or the occurrence of the material event.

Our shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “FULL.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following table shows the underwriting discounts to be paid to the underwriters in connection with this offering. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. This offering will conform with the requirements set forth in Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2310. The sum of all compensation to the underwriters in connection with this offering of shares, including the underwriting discount, will not exceed 10% of the total public offering price of the shares sold in this offering.

Full Circle Capital and our investment adviser have each agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

Certain underwriters may make a market in the shares. No underwriter is, however, obligated to conduct market-making activities and any such activities may be discontinued at any time without notice, at the sole discretion of the underwriter. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, the shares as a result of any market-making activities undertaken by any underwriter. This prospectus supplement is to be used by any underwriter in connection with the offering and, during the period in which a prospectus supplement must be delivered, with offers and sales of the shares in market-making transactions in the over-the-counter market at negotiated prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of the sale.

In connection with the offering, Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., on behalf of the underwriters, may purchase and sell shares in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of shares in excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. “Covered” short sales are sales of shares made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriters’ overallotment option. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the overallotment option. Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short position involve either purchases of shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the overallotment option. The underwriters may also make “naked” short sales of shares in excess of the overallotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is in progress.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. repurchases shares originally sold by that syndicate member in order to cover syndicate short positions or make stabilizing purchases.

Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of shares. They may also cause the price of shares to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the NASDAQ Capital Market, or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time.

We estimate that our portion of the total expenses of this offering, excluding the underwriting discounts, will be approximately $175,000.

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters. The representative may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders. The representative will allocate shares to underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. In addition, shares may be sold by the underwriters to securities dealers who resell shares to online brokerage account holders.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2012

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, 2013.

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.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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., TransAmerican Asset Servicing Group, Inc. and Art Credit Company, LLC, 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

S-58


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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 Bank, N.A., and at times, cash held in these accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. The Company may invest 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 unamortized loan origination, closing and commitment fees are recorded as interest income.

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Structuring fees, board 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 $160,108, and $470,543 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Federal and State Income Taxes

We have elected 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.

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 Accounting Standards Codification (“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 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011. The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist principally of legal and audit costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to an offering of equity securities. Such costs are charged against the gross proceeds of the offering or will be charged to the Company’s operations if the offering is not competed. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has deferred $71,781 of offering costs related to its form N-2 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or “SEC” on March 23, 2012.

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, 2012, we had approximately $6.3 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 June 27, 2012, our Board of Directors re-approved 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, 2012 and 2011, were $334,036 and $285,960, respectively, after adjusting for the waivers of $0 and $28,124, respectively. The total base management fee payable to the Adviser at September 30, 2012 was $334,036, after reflecting payment of $308,271 during the period, and is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities in Due to Affiliate at September 30, 2012.

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%;
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) 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. There were no incentive fees paid on realized gains for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Income incentive fees of $307,932 and $371,602 were earned by the Adviser for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the total income incentive fee payable to the Adviser at September 30, 2012 was $309,236, after reflecting payment of $270,778 during the period, and is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities in Due to Affiliate at September 30, 2012.

The Adviser had 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 $0 and $285,668 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 60 days written notice to the other party.

Administration Agreement

We have also entered into an administration agreement (the “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.

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 pays 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 were performed by Vastardis for the Administrator for an annual fee of $112,457, paid quarterly in advance. Such services have been provided by the Administrator, rather than Vastardis, subsequent to September 15, 2012.

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, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $205,379 and $209,723, respectively, of expenses under the Administration Agreement, $73,429 and $78,114, respectively, of which were earned by the Sub-Administrator and $75,194 and $45,924, respectively, of which were paid for officers’ compensation. The remaining $56,756 and $85,685, respectively, were recorded as an Allocation of Overhead Expenses to the Administrator in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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, TransAmerican Asset Servicing Group, LLC and The Finance Company, LLC, the Company has provided managerial assistance during the period for which no fees were charged. Our Chief Executive Officer and President, John Stuart, currently serves as a director of The Finance Company, LLC. As of September 30, 2012, none of the other portfolio companies had accepted our offer for such services.

Note 8. Long Term Liabilities

Line of Credit

On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into the “Credit Facility” with First Capital. The facility size is $35 million and was initially scheduled to expire in January 2012. On January 27, 2012, the Company extended the Credit Facility through July 31, 2012. On July 31, 2012, the Company extended the Credit Facility though October 31, 2012. Under the Credit Facility, base rate borrowings bear interest at LIBOR (0.214% at September 30, 2012, and 0.246% at June 30, 2012) 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 earnings 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, 2012, the Company had a balance of $23,098,577 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 the Company 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, 2012, the Company had a balance of $3,404,583 on the Distribution Notes, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and for the year ended June 30, 2012, there were no transfers in or out of levels.

The following table presents additional information about Level 3 assets measured at fair value. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the net unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and for the year ended June 30, 2012, are as follows:

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements  – (continued)

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements as of September 30, 2012:

       
Description:   Fair Value   Valuation Technique   Unobservable
Inputs
  Range
(Average) (1)
Secured debt   $ 66,639,183       Discounted cash flows
(income approach)
      Discount Rate       6% - 30% (15 %)  
Equity     943,210       Market comparable companies
(market approach)
      EBITDA multiple       3.0 - 7.5 (4.25 )  
Debt or Equity subject to liquidation     7,880,406       Liquidation Value       Asset Value       N/A  
Total investments   $ 75,462,799                    

(1) The average values were determined using the weighted average of the fair value of the investments in each investment category.

The primary significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt securities (first lien debt, second lien debt and subordinated debt), including income-producing investments in funds, is the discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. In determining the discount rate, for the income, or yield, approach, the Company considers current market yields and multiples, portfolio company performance, leverage levels and credit quality, among other factors in its analysis. Changes in one or more of these factors can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate discount rate to use in the income approach.

The primary significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity investments is the EBITDA multiple, or the “Enterprise Value”. Significant increases (decreases) in the Enterprise Value in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. To determine the Enterprise Value for the market approach, the Company considers current market trading and/or transaction multiples, portfolio company performance (financial ratios) relative to public and private peer companies and leverage levels, among other factors. Changes in one or more of these factors can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate multiple to use in the market approach.

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.

Note 10. Derivative Contracts  – (continued)

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, 2012, the notional amounts and number of warrants, categorized by primary underlying risk, are as follows:

   
  Long Exposure   Number of Warrants
  Notional Amounts
Primary Underlying Risk Equity Price Warrants (a)   $       222,179  

(a) Notional amounts presented for warrants are based on the fair value of the underlying shares as if the warrants were exercised at September 30, 2012.

Note 11. Recently Adopted 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

Dividend

On November 5, 2012, the Board of Directors declared monthly dividends of $0.077, $0.077 and $0.077 per share payable on February 15, 2013 for holders of record at January 31, 2013, March 15, 2013 for holders of record at February 28, 2013 and April 15, 2013 for holders of record at March 29, 2013.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Full Circle Capital Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities of Full Circle Capital Corporation (the “Company”), including the schedules of investments as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2012 and the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010. We have also audited the accompanying consolidated financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2012 and the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010. These consolidated financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Full Circle Capital Corporation as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2012 and the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and conform to Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The financial results of our portfolio investments are not consolidated in the financial statements.

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 Art Credit Company, LLC, our only wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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 may invest 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 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 $788,958, and $746,896 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company did not earn Other Income for the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010.

Federal and State Income Taxes

We have elected 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.

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.

Return of Capital Statement of Position (ROCSOP) Adjustment:

Due to certain timing, structural and tax considerations, our dividend distributions may include a return of capital for tax purposes. During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a reclassification for permanent book to tax differences. These differences were primarily due to book/tax treatment of income and expenses and a tax return of capital for the year of $730,258. This amount is included in ‘Dividends to Shareholders' on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets. For the year ended June 30, 2011 there was no tax return of capital.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

These differences resulted in a net decrease in Distributions in excess of Net Investment Income of $1,093,661, a decrease in Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) of $344,482 and a decrease in additional paid-in capital of 749,179. This reclassification had no effect on net assets.

The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of our investments over cost for federal income tax purposes was $629,835 and $283,252 as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The aggregate gross unrealized depreciation of our investments for federal income tax purposes was $4,406,347 and $2,079,799 as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The net unrealized depreciation for federal income tax purposes was $3,776,512 and $1,796,547 as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $98,623,282 and $84,590,664 as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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 Accounting Standards Codification (“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 for the year ended June 30, 2012. The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist principally of legal and audit costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to an offering of equity securities. Such costs are charged against the gross proceeds of the offering or will be charged to the Company’s operations if the offering is not competed. The Company capitalized $67,685 of offering costs, of which $19,697 remains payable related to its form N-2 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or “SEC” on March 23, 2012.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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 June 30, 2012, we had approximately $5.7 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.

Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transactions  – (continued)

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 years ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, were $1,186,841 and $969,533, respectively, after adjusting for the waivers of $28,124 and $138,505, respectively. The total base management fee payable to the Adviser was $308,271 and $310,809, after reflecting payment of $1,189,379 and $520,219 during the periods, and is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities in Due to Affiliate at June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The Adviser did not earn management fees for the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010.

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%;
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) 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. There were no incentive fees paid on realized gains for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and for the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010.

Income incentive fees of $1,197,590 and $1,130,190 were earned by the Adviser for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the total income incentive fee payable to the Adviser was $272,082 and $281,609, after reflecting payment of $1,207,117 and $848,581 during the periods, and is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities in Due to Affiliate at June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The Adviser did not earn incentive fees for the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010.

The Adviser had 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 and $408,803 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Administration Agreement

On July 8, 2010, we also entered into an administration agreement (the “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.

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 pays 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 performed by Vastardis for the Administrator for an annual fee of $112,457, paid quarterly in advance. Such services will be provided by the Administrator, rather than Vastardis, subsequent to September 15, 2012.

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 years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $895,783 and $672,185, respectively, of expenses under the Administration Agreement, $312,457 and $260,381, respectively, of which were earned by the Sub-Administrator and $267,153 and $110,904, respectively, of which were paid for officers’ compensation. The remaining $316,173 and $300,900, respectively, were recorded as an Allocation of Overhead Expenses to the Administrator in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Line of Credit

On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into the “Credit Facility” with First Capital. The facility size is $35 million and was initially scheduled to expire in January 2012. On January 27, 2012, the Company extended the Credit Facility through July 31, 2012. Under the Credit Facility, base rate borrowings bear interest at LIBOR (0.246% at June 30, 2012, and 0.186% 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 June 30, 2012, the Company had a balance of $18,544,660 on the Credit Facility, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 the Company 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.

During the year ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, there were no transfers in or out of levels.

The following table presents additional information about Level 3 assets measured at fair value. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the net unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements  – (continued)

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements as of June 30, 2012:

       
Description:   Fair Value   Valuation Technique   Unobservable Inputs   Range (Average) (1)
Secured debt   $ 69,010,789       Discounted cash
flows (income
approach)
      Discount Rate       3% – 33%(17%)
 
Equity     827,377       Market comparable
companies (market
approach)
      EBITDA multiple       3.5 – 7.5 (4.5)
 
Debt or Equity subject to liquidation     2,508,723       Liquidation Value       Asset Value       N/A  
Total investments   $ 72,346,889                    

(1) The average values were determined using the weighted average of the fair value of the investments in each investment category.

The primary significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt securities (first lien debt, second lien debt and subordinated debt), including income-producing investments in funds, is the discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. In determining the discount rate, for the income, or yield, approach, the Company considers current market yields and multiples, portfolio company performance, leverage levels and credit quality, among other factors in its analysis. Changes in one or more of these factors can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate discount rate to use in the income approach.

The primary significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity investments is the EBITDA multiple, or the “Enterprise Value”. Significant increases (decreases) in the Enterprise Value in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. To determine the Enterprise Value for the market approach, the Company considers current market trading and/or transaction multiples, portfolio company performance (financial ratios) relative to public and private peer companies and leverage levels, among other factors. Changes in one or more of these factors can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate multiple to use in the market approach.

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

Note 10. Derivative Contracts  – (continued)

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.

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 June 30, 2012, the notional amounts and number of warrants, categorized by primary underlying risk, are as follows:

   
  Long Exposure  
     Notional
Amounts
  Number of
Warrants
Primary Underlying Risk
                 
Equity Price Warrants (a)   $   —       222,227  

(a) Notional amounts presented for warrants are based on the fair value of the underlying shares as if the warrants were exercised at June 30, 2012.

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.

$30,000,000

[GRAPHIC MISSING]

Full Circle Capital Corporation

Common Stock



 

We are an externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the “1940 Act.” Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments.

We may offer, from time to time, in one or more offerings or series, up to $30,000,000 of our common stock. Our common stock may be offered at prices, including prices below net asset value as discussed below, and on terms to be described in one or more supplements to this prospectus.

Absent approval by the majority of our common stockholders, the offering price per share of our common stock less any underwriting commissions or discounts will generally not be less than the net asset value per share of our common stock at the time we make the offering unless we issue shares in connection with a rights offering to our existing stockholders or under such other circumstances as the SEC may permit. On December 21, 2011, our common stockholders voted to allow us to issue common stock at a price below net asset value per share for a period of one year ending on the earlier of December 21, 2012 or our 2012 Annual Stockholders Meeting. The maximum number of shares issuable below net asset value in each offering is limited to 25% of our then outstanding common stock. In addition, we cannot issue shares of our common stock below net asset value unless our Board of Directors determines that it would be in our and our stockholders' best interests to do so. Sales of common stock at prices below net asset value per share dilute the interests of existing stockholders, have the effect of reducing our net asset value per share and may reduce our market price per share. In addition, continuous sales of common stock below net asset value may have a negative impact on total returns and could have a negative impact on the market price of our shares of common stock. See “Sales of Common Stock Below Net Asset Value.”

Our common stock may be offered directly to one or more purchasers, or through agents designated from time to time by us, or to or through underwriters or dealers. The prospectus supplement relating to an offering will identify any agents or underwriters involved in the sale of our common stock, and will disclose any applicable purchase price, fee, commission or discount arrangement between us and our agents or underwriters or among our underwriters or the basis upon which such amount may be calculated. See “Plan of Distribution.” We may not sell any of our common stock through agents, underwriters or dealers without delivery of this prospectus and a prospectus supplement describing the method and terms of the offering of such common stock.

Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FULL.” On June 14, 2012, the last reported sales price on the Nasdaq Capital Market for our common stock was $7.39 per share. We are required to determine the net asset value per share of our common stock on a quarterly basis. Our net asset value per share of our common stock as of March 31, 2012 was $8.94.



 

An investment in our common stock is subject to risks and involves a heightened risk of total loss of investment. In addition, the companies in which we invest are subject to special risks. For example, we invest in securities that are 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” or “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 15 to read about factors you should consider, including the risk of leverage, before investing in our common stock.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities, or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This prospectus may not be used to consummate sales of shares of common stock unless accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

Please read this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplements before investing and keep each for future reference. This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplements contain important information about us that a prospective investor ought to know before investing in our common stock. We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC ( http://www.sec.gov ), which is available free of charge by contacting us by mail at 800 Westchester Ave., Suite S-620, Rye Brook, NY 10573, by telephone at (914) 220-6300 or on our website at http://www.fccapital.com .

SUMMARY

The following summary contains basic information about offerings pursuant to this prospectus. It may not contain all the information that is important to an investor. For a more complete understanding of offerings pursuant to this prospectus, we encourage you to read this entire prospectus and the documents to which we have referred in this prospectus, together with any accompanying prospectus supplements.

Except where the context requires otherwise, the terms “Full Circle Capital,” the “Company,” or “we” refer to Full Circle Capital Corporation; “Full Circle Advisors” or our “investment adviser” refers to Full Circle Advisors, LLC; and “Full Circle Service Company” or our “administrator” refers to Full Circle Service Company, LLC.

OVERVIEW

Full Circle Capital, a Maryland corporation formed in April 2010, is an externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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.

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. In conjunction with our initial public offering in August 2010, we acquired a portfolio of investments, valued at approximately $72 million, from the Legacy Funds in exchange for shares of our common stock. We invest primarily in 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. 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.

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 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 most of 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 can 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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.

As a business development company, we are required to meet regulatory tests, including the requirement to invest at least 70% of our gross assets in “qualifying assets.” Qualifying assets generally include, among other things, securities of “eligible portfolio companies.” “Eligible portfolio companies” generally include U.S. companies that are not investment companies and that do not have securities listed on a national exchange. See “Regulation as a Business Development Company.” We may also borrow funds to make investments. In addition, we have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or “RIC,” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Our headquarters are located at 800 Westchester Ave., Suite S-620, Rye Brook, New York 10573 and our telephone number is (914) 220-6300.

About Our Investment Adviser and Administrator

We are managed by Full Circle Advisors, whose investment committee members have an average of approximately 20 years of experience financing and investing in smaller and lower middle-market companies. Full Circle Advisors is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee also presently manages Full Circle Funding, LP, a specialty lender serving smaller and lower middle-market companies. The investment committee has to date originated approximately $268 million in loans and investments in 52 distinct borrowers since inception of Full Circle Funding, LP in 2005 and through activities at Full Circle Advisors since August 2010. The existing investment funds managed by Full Circle Funding, LP, which currently consist of the Legacy Funds, have been fully committed and are no longer making investments in new opportunities. The Legacy Funds are expected to be wound down as their remaining investments mature. Full Circle Funding, LP and other affiliates of our investment adviser may manage other funds and accounts in the future.

We benefit from the proven ability of our investment adviser’s investment committee to identify attractive investment opportunities, conduct diligence on and value prospective investments, negotiate terms, secure collateral against our loans and manage and monitor a diversified portfolio of those investments. Our investment adviser’s investment committee members have broad investment backgrounds, with prior experience at investment banks, commercial banks, unregistered investment funds and other financial services companies, and have collectively developed a broad network of contacts to provide us with our principal source of investment opportunities.

Our investment adviser is controlled and led by John E. Stuart, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Stuart is assisted by Stephen J. Healey, Lawrence Chua and Crandall Deery, who each serve as a Vice President of Full Circle Advisors. We consider Messrs. Stuart, Healey, Chua and Deery to be Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee. Under our investment advisory agreement with Full Circle Advisors (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), we have agreed to pay Full Circle Advisors an annual base management fee based on our gross assets as well as an incentive fee based on our performance. See “Investment Advisory Agreement.”

We have also entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”), under which we have agreed to reimburse Full Circle Service Company for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Full Circle Service Company in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including furnishing us with office facilities, equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities, as well as providing us with other administrative services. Full Circle Service Company is controlled by John E. Stuart, our President and Chief Executive Officer. See “Administration Agreement.”

Business Strategy

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We have adopted the following business strategies to achieve our investment objective:

Deliver Flexible Financing Solutions.   We believe our ability to provide a broad range of flexible debt financing solutions to smaller and lower middle-market companies sets us apart from other capital providers. We offer to our portfolio companies debt financing facilities that, combined with our ability to recognize the underlying value and security of diverse types of traditional and non-traditional asset based collateral, we believe allows us to provide flexible facilities to fit the capital requirements of each borrower. We believe that our focus on providing senior secured and stretch senior loans provides a more efficient and less complicated capital structure and source of capital for borrowers. We also believe that it maximizes our control of and exposure to asset-based collateral coverage as security for our loans, thereby greatly reducing our risk of possible losses due to deterioration in a borrower’s performance.
Focus on Smaller and Lower Middle-Market Companies.   We generally provide capital to our portfolio companies for growth capital, acquisition financing and refinancing of existing debt facilities. We believe our target portfolio companies are generally involved in industries or markets that are under-followed or serviced because they are either less visible to mainstream institutions or investors, or are too small or localized for larger financial institutions or larger funds, particularly those that lack the requisite industry-specific knowledge and expertise. We believe there have historically been fewer banks and finance companies focused on lending to these types of smaller and lower middle-market companies. As a result, we believe we can negotiate terms on loans to these types of companies that generally possess better risk-adjusted return profiles than terms on loans to larger, more mainstream companies. Such favorable terms may include higher debt yields, lower leverage levels, more significant covenant protection and/or greater equity grants than typical of transactions involving larger companies. 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.
Focus on Senior Secured Lending and Structuring of Investments to Minimize Risk of Loss.   We seek to structure our loan investments on a favorable LTV exposure based on underlying collateral or enterprise value with high cash yields, cash origination fees, low leverage levels and strong investment protections. We generally seek to protect against risk of loss on our debt investments by securing most of our loans against a significant level of tangible or intangible assets of our borrowers, obtaining a favorable LTV ratio or other financial protections or credit enhancements, rather than lending predominantly against anticipated cash flows of borrowers. We believe this provides us with more options and a greater likelihood of repayment from both cash flow and/or asset sales.
Structure Loans with Superior Security and Asset Protection.   Our loan instruments and documentation focus on favorable lender protections with security over the collateral, financial and other covenants and rigorous reporting requirements on behalf of our borrowers. We monitor covenant and other loan compliance on a monthly and quarterly basis and personnel from our investment adviser will perform periodic field exams at the borrower level. We utilize both term debt and revolving loan structures and, accordingly, often seek to maintain control of our borrowers’ cash receipts from revenues as additional security for our positions. As of March 31, 2012, we had the right to impose lockbox or dominion of cash, or account control agreements, on 99% of the borrowers in our portfolio, as calculated by principal amount, fair value and annual revenue. Such amounts are not inclusive of our holdings of United States Treasury Bills. In addition, we may seek credit enhancements, such as personal guarantees from a borrower’s principal owners or “make well” features to provide us with additional equity in the event of underperformance. We may also seek a pledge of stock or other assets from a borrower or its operating subsidiaries.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pursue Attractive Risk Adjusted Returns .  As of March 31, 2012, the weighted average annualized yield of the debt investments comprising our portfolio was approximately 13%, which includes a cash interest component of 100%. In the future, a component of our interest may be in the form of payment-in-kind, or “PIK,” interest. PIK interest represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term and recorded as interest income on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. For additional information regarding PIK interest and related risks, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Structure — We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.” The 22 individual debt investments, from 14 distinct borrowers, included in our portfolio averaged a LTV ratio of approximately 61% as of March 31, 2012 (i.e., each $61 of loan value outstanding is secured by $100 of collateral value). Although it is subject to fluctuation, we believe this LTV ratio, which measures the aggregate amount of our loan positions against the aggregate amount of primary collateral value pledged by our borrowers as security against our loans, reflects the relative strength of the debt investments comprising our portfolio. Finally, our debt investments are designed to have strong protections beyond repayment from cash flow and asset liquidation coverage, including default penalties, information rights, and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, such as lien protection and prohibitions against change of control. We believe this level of collateral protection helps minimize against the risk of loss, even if a loan goes into default.
Leveraging the Skill, Experience and Resources of Full Circle Advisors’ Investment Committee.   Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee members have an average of approximately 20 years of experience financing and investing in smaller and lower middle-market companies. The investment committee members have broad investment and operational backgrounds, with prior experience at specialty finance companies, investment management firms, private equity investment funds, investment banks and other financial services companies. We believe their expertise in analyzing, valuing, structuring, negotiating, closing, monitoring and restructuring transactions should provide us with a competitive advantage by allowing us to consider customized financing solutions and non-traditional and complex structures. We believe this experience should also be valuable when we have to work with stressed and distressed credits.
Balanced Investing Across Industries with Expertise.   While we seek to maintain a portfolio of investments that is appropriately balanced among various companies, industries, geographic regions and end markets, we focus our investing activities on certain areas that we believe maintain favorable asset coverage positions, including the media, communications and business services industries. We believe that the stable, long term asset values that may be found in many of the industries in which we invest can provide us with significant collateral protection on our loans, in contrast to taking some of the risks of repayment attendant to relying exclusively on a borrower’s current cash flows. Going forward, we intend to seek to maintain a balanced portfolio to mitigate the potential effects of negative economic events for particular companies, regions and industries.
Capitalize on Strong Transaction Sourcing Network.   Our investment adviser’s investment committee seeks to leverage their extensive network of referral sources for investments in smaller and lower middle-market companies. We believe through their prior investment experience, the investment committee members have collectively developed a reputation in our target market and in the industries in which we invest as a responsive, efficient and reliable source of flexible financing.
Employ Disciplined Underwriting Policies and Rigorous Portfolio Management.   We directly originate most of our investments, which, in our experience, generally allows us to pursue a more rigorous due diligence examination of the investments than if we invest as part of a lending syndicate led by others. Our investment adviser’s investment committee has developed an extensive underwriting due diligence process which includes a review of the prospects, competitive position, financial performance and industry dynamics of each potential portfolio company. In underwriting a potential borrower, they engage in a variety of quantitative and qualitative stress tests, and analyze our ability to successfully liquidate a favorable collateral package underlying a loan in the event of default. These processes continue during the portfolio monitoring process, when our investment

adviser will, depending on the borrower, analyze monthly and/or quarterly financial statements versus the previous periods and year, review financial projections, conduct field examinations, meet with management, attend board meetings, review all compliance certificates and covenants and regularly assess the financial and business conditions and prospects of borrowers.

Market Opportunity

We believe that the current credit environment provides favorable opportunities to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns on the types of asset-based senior secured loans we target. In particular, we believe that demand for financing from smaller to lower middle-market companies is largely outpacing the availability of lenders that have traditionally served this market. While this has traditionally been an underserved market, we believe the supply-demand imbalance of loans to smaller borrowers was exacerbated by the credit crisis in 2008/2009, and has not fully recovered. 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.

Thus we believe that the current credit markets combined with certain long term trends associated with lending to smaller and lower middle-market companies provide the ideal market environment.

Competitive Edge and Skill Set.   Our core strength of providing efficient and flexible lending solutions to smaller and lower middle-market companies requires a market approach and skill set that we believe is generally not found in larger or more localized regional lenders. We believe that many of the companies we target are in industries that are less visible or too specialized for larger mainstream institutions or investors, or require too little funding or are too localized for larger financial institutions to consider, particularly where those institutions lack the requisite industry-specific knowledge and expertise. From 1992 through 2011, loan composition for banks sized greater than $1 billion in assets showed a decline of commercial and industrial loans from 30% to 20% while real estate lending grew from 39% to 52%. Accordingly, we believe that many potential competitive lenders lack the personnel or lending experience required to address the very strong market demand for commercial and industrial lending. We believe our strengths include the ability to originate, underwrite and manage a more labor intensive portfolio consisting of debt investments in smaller companies, and to operate underwriting, due diligence and loan portfolio management activities singularly focused on these types of companies.
Strong Demand For Capital Coupled with Fewer Providers.   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. Further, we believe the supply-demand imbalance of smaller borrowers to lenders serving that market was exacerbated by the credit crisis in 2008/2009, and has not fully recovered. 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.

More Conservative Deal Structures.   As a result of, and in the aftermath of, the 2008/2009 credit crisis, we believe lenders are mandating less leverage, more equity and tighter loan covenants than what had previously been customary. We believe that lower purchase prices for assets and lower

5


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

debt multiples, combined with greater equity cushions beneath loans, allows for greater cash flow for debt service, creating faster loan repayments despite overall higher debt costs to borrowers. We believe this aspect provides considerable cushion against underperformance and default of borrowers as well as faster de-risking of loan positions as credit statistics improve over the term of the loan facilities.
Attractive Return Profile.   We believe the reduced access to, and reduced availability of, debt capital has decreased competition in smaller to lower middle-market lending which had already become less competitive and more fragmented prior to the credit crisis, resulting in a better market for loan pricing. We believe that the withdrawal of many traditional senior lenders from the market, combined with reduced advance rates and leverage levels, allows for stretch senior lenders to charge rates that typically reflect mezzanine or subordinated structures for entire facilities, while maintaining first lien senior secured positions over the loan collateral provided by the borrowers. Our investment adviser’s investment committee has experienced this attractive return environment since the onset of the credit crisis in the second half of 2008, when transactions originated by them saw increased returns from interest and fees charged, as well as more meaningful warrant participations.

RISK FACTORS

The value of our assets, as well as the market price of our shares, will fluctuate. Our investments may be risky, and you may lose all or part of your investment in us. Investing in us involves other risks, including the following:

We have a limited operating history as a business development company;
We are dependent upon Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee for our future success;
We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities.
Our incentive fee structure and the formula for calculating the management fee may incentivize Full Circle Advisors to pursue speculative investments, use leverage when it may be unwise to do so, or refrain from delevering when it would otherwise be appropriate to do so;
A general increase in interest rates will likely have the effect of making it easier for our investment adviser to receive incentive fees, without necessarily resulting in an increase in our net earnings;
Our portfolio may lack diversification among portfolio companies which may subject us to a risk of significant loss if one or more of these companies defaults on its obligations under any of its debt instruments;
Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries, which may subject us to a risk of significant loss if there is a downturn in a particular industry in which a number of our investments are concentrated;
Investing in smaller and lower middle-market companies involves a high degree of risk and our financial results may be affected adversely if one or more of our significant portfolio investments defaults on its loans or fails to perform as we expect;
The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business;
An extended continuation of the disruption in the capital markets and the credit markets could impair our ability to raise capital and negatively affect our business;
Regulations governing our operation as a business development company affect our ability to raise additional capital and the way in which we do so. As a business development company, the necessity of raising additional capital may expose us to risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage.
We borrow money, which magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and increases the risk of investing in us;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An inability to raise capital or access debt financing could negatively affect our business;
To the extent we use debt to finance our investments, changes in interest rates will affect our cost of capital and net investment income;
There will be uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments;
We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly results;
We will become subject to corporate-level income tax on all of our income if we are unable to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial performance;
Shares of closed-end investment companies, including business development companies, may trade at a discount to their net asset value;
Existing stockholders may incur dilution if we sell shares of our common stock in one or more offerings at prices below the then current net asset value per share of our common stock or issue securities to subscribe to, convert to or purchase shares of our common stock;
Our common stock price may be volatile and may decrease substantially, and our stockholders may lose money in connection with an investment in our shares;
There is a risk that our stockholders may not receive distributions or that our distributions may not grow over time; and
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 15 , and the other information included in this prospectus, for additional discussion of factors you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in our common stock.

OFFERINGS

We may offer, from time to time, up to $30,000,000 of our common stock on terms to be determined at the time of the offering. We will offer our common stock at prices and on terms to be set forth in one or more supplements to this prospectus. The offering price per share of our common stock, less any underwriting commissions or discounts, generally will not be less than the net asset value per share of our common stock at the time of an offering. However, we may issue shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus at a price per share that is less than our net asset value per share (i) in connection with a rights offering to our existing stockholders, (ii) with the prior approval of the majority of our common stockholders or (iii) under such other circumstances as the SEC may permit. On December 21, 2011, our common stockholders voted to allow us to issue common stock at a price below net asset value per share for a period of one year ending on the earlier of December 21, 2012 or our 2012 Annual Stockholders Meeting. The maximum number of shares issuable below net asset value in each offering is limited to 25% of our then outstanding common stock. In addition, we cannot issue shares of our common stock below net asset value unless our Board of Directors determines that it would be in our and our stockholders' best interests to do so. Any such issuance of shares of our common stock below net asset value will be dilutive to the net asset value of our common stock. See “Sales of Common Stock Below Net Asset Value.”

Our common stock may be offered directly to one or more purchasers, or through agents designated from time to time by us, or to or through underwriters or dealers. The prospectus supplement relating to an offering will identify any agents or underwriters involved in the sale of our common stock, and will disclose any applicable purchase price, fee, commission or discount arrangement between us and our agents or underwriters or among our underwriters or the basis upon which such amount may be calculated. See “Plan of Distribution.” We may not sell any of our common stock through agents, underwriters or dealers without delivery of this prospectus and a prospectus supplement describing the method and terms of the offering of such common stock.

Set forth below is additional information regarding offerings of our common stock:

Use of Proceeds    
    We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include investing in new portfolio companies in accordance with our investment objective and strategies described in this prospectus, the repayment of outstanding indebtedness, acquisitions and for other general working capital purposes. Each supplement to this prospectus relating to an offering will more fully identify the use of the proceeds from such offering. See “Use of Proceeds.”

Distributions    
    To the extent that we have income available, we intend to distribute monthly dividends to our stockholders. The amount of our dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. Any dividends to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. See “Price Range of Common Stock and Distributions.”
Taxation    
    We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders as dividends. To maintain our RIC tax treatment, we must meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute annually at least 90% of our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

    ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any. See “Price Range of Common Stock and Distributions” and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”
Leverage    
    We have historically and may in the future borrow funds to make investments. As a result, we may be exposed to the risks of leverage, which may be considered a speculative investment technique. The use of leverage magnifies the potential for gain and loss on amounts invested and therefore increases the risks associated with investing in our common stock. In addition, the costs associated with our borrowings, including any increase in the management fee payable to our investment adviser will be borne by our common stockholders.
Management Arrangements    
    Full Circle Advisors serves as our investment adviser. Full Circle Service Company serves as our administrator. For a description of Full Circle Advisors and Full Circle Service Company, and our contractual arrangements with these companies, see “Investment Advisory Agreement” and “Administration Agreement,” respectively.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan    
    We have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan. If your shares of common stock are registered in your own name, your distributions will automatically be reinvested under our dividend reinvestment plan in additional whole and fractional shares of common stock, unless you “opt out” of our dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash dividends by delivering a written notice to our dividend paying agent. If your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee, you should contact the broker or nominee for details regarding opting out of our dividend reinvestment plan. Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of stock will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in cash. See “Dividend Reinvestment Plan.”
Certain Anti-Takeover Measures    
    Our charter and bylaws, as well as certain statutory and regulatory requirements, contain certain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us. These anti-takeover provisions may inhibit a change in control in circumstances that could give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the market price for our common stock. See “Description of Our Capital Stock.”
Where You Can Find Additional Information    
    We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form N-2 together with all amendments and related exhibits under the Securities Act. The registration statement contains additional information about us and the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus.

FEES AND EXPENSES

The following table is intended to assist you in understanding the costs and expenses that you will bear directly or indirectly. We caution you that some of the percentages indicated in the table below are estimates and may vary. Except where the context suggests otherwise, whenever this prospectus contains a reference to fees or expenses paid by “us” or “Full Circle Capital,” or that “we” will pay fees or expenses, you will indirectly bear such fees or expenses as an investor in us.

 
Stockholder transaction expenses:
 
Sales load (as a percentage of offering price)      — % (1)  
Offering expenses borne by us (as a percentage of offering price)        — % (2)  
Dividend reinvestment plan expenses          None (3)  
Total stockholder transaction expenses (as a percentage of offering price)     %  
Annual expenses (as a percentage of net assets attributable to common stock):
        
Base management fee     2.08 % (4)  
Incentive fees payable under our investment advisory agreement     2.22 % (5)  
Interest payments on borrowed funds     1.83 % (6)  
Other expenses (estimated)     3.00 % (7)  
Total annual expenses     9.13 % (8)  

EXAMPLE

The following example, required by the SEC, demonstrates the projected dollar amount of total cumulative expenses that would be incurred over various periods with respect to a hypothetical investment in our common stock. In calculating the following expense amounts, we assumed we would maintain our current amount of leverage and that our operating expenses would remain at the levels set forth in the table above. In the event that shares to which this prospectus relates are sold to or through underwriters, a corresponding prospectus supplement will restate this example to reflect the applicable sales load.

       
  1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years
You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5% annual return   $ 91     $ 263     $ 420     $ 761  

The example and the expenses in the tables above should not be considered a representation of our future expenses, and actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. Moreover, while the example assumes, as required by the SEC, a 5.0% annual return, our performance will vary and may result in a return greater or less than 5.0%. The incentive fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement, which, assuming a 5.0% annual return, would either not be payable or have a de minimis effect, is nonetheless included in the example for illustrative purposes based upon the estimated annual expenses relating thereto as set forth above. If we achieve sufficient returns on our investments to trigger an incentive fee of a material amount, our expenses, and returns to our investors, would be higher. In addition, while the example assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value, participants in our dividend reinvestment plan may receive shares valued at the market price in effect at that time. This price may be at, above or below net asset value. See “Dividend Reinvestment Plan” for additional information regarding our dividend reinvestment plan.

(1) In the event that the shares of common stock to which this prospectus relates are sold to or through underwriters, a corresponding prospectus supplement will disclose the maximum applicable sales load and the “Example” will be updated accordingly.
(2) The prospectus supplement corresponding to each offering will disclose the maximum applicable offering expenses and maximum total stockholder transaction expenses as a percentage of the offering price.
(3) The expenses of the dividend reinvestment plan are included in “other expenses.”

(4) Assumes gross assets of $66.1 million and $15.8 million of leverage, and assumes net assets of $55.6 million. Our base management fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement is based on our gross assets, which is defined as all the assets of Full Circle Capital, including those acquired using borrowings for investment purposes. Because we use borrowings for investment purposes, it has the effect of increasing our gross assets upon which our base management fee is calculated, while our net assets remain unchanged. See “Investment Advisory Agreement.”
(5) Assumes that annual incentive fees earned by Full Circle Advisors remain consistent with the incentive fees earned by Full Circle Advisors during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012. Incentive fees would increase if, and to the extent that, we earn greater interest income through our investments in portfolio companies and realize additional capital gains upon the sale of warrants or other equity investments in such companies. The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which is payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of the excess, if any, of our “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” that exceeds a 1.75% quarterly (7.0% annualized) hurdle rate, which we refer to as the Hurdle, subject to a “catch-up” provision measured at the end of each calendar quarter. The first part of the incentive fee is computed and paid on income that may include interest that is accrued but not yet received in cash. The operation of the first part of the incentive fee for each quarter is as follows:
no incentive fee is payable to our investment adviser in any calendar quarter in which our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Hurdle of 1.75%;
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) is payable to our investment adviser. 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 20.0% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as if a Hurdle did not apply when our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and
20.0% 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 our investment adviser (once the Hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20.0% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Investment Income thereafter is paid to our investment adviser).

The second part of the incentive fee equals 20.0% of our “Incentive Fee Capital Gains,” if any, which equals our realized capital gains 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. The second part of the incentive fee is payable, in arrears, at the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date). For a more detailed discussion of the calculation of this fee, see “Investment Advisory Agreement.”

(6) Assumes that we maintain our current level of $15.8 million of outstanding borrowings, which includes our approximately $3.4 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Distribution Notes”), as of March 31, 2012. “Interest payments on borrowed funds” represents our annualized interest expense as of March 31, 2012. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the effective annualized average interest rate, which includes all interest and related costs, was 6.24%. We may also issue preferred stock, which may be considered a form of leverage. While we have no present intent to do so, in the event we were to issue preferred stock, our borrowing costs, and correspondingly our total annual expenses, including our base management fee as a percentage of our net assets, would increase.
(7) Assumes that the amount of our operating expenses remains consistent with the operating expenses incurred by us during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.
(8) The holders of shares of our common stock (and not the holders of our debt securities, if any) indirectly bear the cost associated with our annual expenses.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a number of significant risks. In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, you should consider carefully the following information before making an investment in our common stock. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or not presently deemed material by us might also impair our operations and performance. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, our net asset value and the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Structure

Our investment portfolio is recorded at fair value, with our Board of Directors having final responsibility for overseeing, reviewing and approving, in good faith, its estimate of fair value and, as a result, there is uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments.

Under the 1940 Act, we are required to carry our portfolio investments at market value or, if there is no readily available market value, at fair value as determined by us in accordance with our written valuation policy, with our Board of Directors having final responsibility for overseeing, reviewing and approving, in good faith, our estimate of fair value. Typically, there will not be a public market for the securities of the privately held companies in which we invest. As a result, we value these securities quarterly at fair value based on input from management, third party independent valuation firms and our audit committee, with the oversight, review and approval of our Board of Directors.

The determination of fair value and consequently, the amount of unrealized gains and losses in our portfolio, are to a certain degree, subjective and dependent on a valuation process approved by our Board of Directors. Certain factors that may be considered in determining the fair value of our investments include estimates of the collectability of the principal and interest on our debt investments and expected realization on our equity investments, as well as external events, such as private mergers, sales and acquisitions involving comparable companies. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, they may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates. Our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these securities existed. Due to this uncertainty, our fair value determinations may cause our net asset value on a given date to materially understate or overstate the value that we may ultimately realize on one or more of our investments. As a result, investors purchasing our common stock based on an overstated net asset value would pay a higher price than the value of our investments might warrant. Conversely, investors selling shares during a period in which the net asset value understates the value of our investments will receive a lower price for their shares than the value of our investments might warrant.

Our financial condition and results of operations depend on our ability to effectively manage and deploy capital.

Our ability to achieve our investment objective depends on our ability to effectively manage and deploy capital, which depends, in turn, on our investment adviser’s ability to identify, evaluate and monitor, and our ability to finance and invest in, companies that meet our investment criteria.

Accomplishing our investment objective on a cost-effective basis is largely a function of our investment adviser’s handling of the investment process, its ability to provide competent, attentive and efficient services and our access to investments offering acceptable terms. In addition to monitoring the performance of our existing investments, our investment adviser’s investment committee may also be called upon, from time to time, to provide managerial assistance to some of our portfolio companies. These demands on their time may distract them or slow the rate of investment.

Even if we are able to grow and build upon our investment operations, any failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The results of our operations will depend on many factors, including the availability of opportunities for investment, readily accessible short and long-term funding alternatives in the financial markets and

15


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

economic conditions. Furthermore, if we cannot successfully operate our business or implement our investment policies and strategies as described herein, it could negatively impact our ability to pay dividends.

We may face increasing competition for investment opportunities.

We compete for investments with other business development companies and investment funds (including private equity funds, mezzanine funds and small business investment companies), as well as traditional financial services companies such as commercial banks and other sources of funding. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us. For example, some competitors have a lower cost of capital and access to funding sources that are not available to us, including from federal government agencies through federal rescue programs such as the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Stability Plan (formerly known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program) or the Small Business Administration. In addition, some of our competitors have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments than we have. These characteristics could allow our competitors to consider a wider variety of investments, establish more relationships and offer better pricing and more flexible structuring than we are able to offer. We may lose investment opportunities if we do not match our competitors’ pricing, terms and structure. If we are forced to match our competitors’ pricing, terms and structure, we may not be able to achieve acceptable returns on our investments or may bear substantial risk of capital loss. A significant part of our competitive advantage stems from the fact that the market for investments in smaller and lower middle-market companies is underserved by traditional commercial banks and other financing sources. A significant increase in the number and/or the size of our competitors in this target market could force us to accept less attractive investment terms. Furthermore, many of our competitors have greater experience operating under, or are not subject to, the regulatory restrictions that the 1940 Act imposes on us as a business development company. We believe that certain of our competitors will make first and second lien loans with interest rates and returns that are comparable to or lower than the rates and returns that we target. Therefore, we do not seek to compete solely on the interest rates and returns that we offer to potential portfolio companies.

We are dependent upon Full Circle Advisors’ key personnel for our future success.

We depend on the diligence, skill and network of business contacts of Mr. Stuart, who serves with Messrs. Healey, Chua and Deery as members of the investment committee of Full Circle Advisors. Mr. Stuart, together with the other dedicated senior investment professionals available to Full Circle Advisors, evaluates, negotiates, structures, closes and monitors our investments. Our future success depends on the continued service of Mr. Stuart and the other senior investment professionals available to Full Circle Advisors. We cannot assure you that unforeseen business, medical, personal or other circumstances would not lead Mr. Stuart or any other such individual to terminate his relationship with us. The loss of Mr. Stuart or any of the other senior investment professionals who serve on Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our investment objective as well as on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we can offer no assurance that Full Circle Advisors will continue indefinitely as our investment adviser.

The members of Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee are and may in the future become affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us, and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time. We expect that Mr. Stuart will dedicate a significant portion of his time to the activities of Full Circle Capital; however, he may be engaged in other business activities which could divert his time and attention in the future.

Our success depends on the ability of Full Circle Advisors to attract and retain qualified personnel in a competitive environment.

Our growth requires that Full Circle Advisors retain and attract new investment and administrative personnel in a competitive market. Its ability to attract and retain personnel with the requisite credentials, experience and skills depends on several factors including, but not limited to, its ability to offer competitive wages, benefits and professional growth opportunities. Many of the entities, including investment funds (such as private equity funds and mezzanine funds) and traditional financial services companies, with which it competes for experienced personnel have greater resources than it has.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

There are significant potential conflicts of interest which could impact our investment returns.

Our executive officers and directors, as well as the current and any future members of our investment adviser, Full Circle Advisors, may serve as officers, directors or principals of other entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as we do. Accordingly, they may have obligations to investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which obligations may not be in the best interests of us or our stockholders. In addition, Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee 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 new investments, 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. As a result, Full Circle Advisors may face conflicts in allocating investment opportunities between us and such other entities. Although Full Circle Advisors will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, it is possible that, in the future, we may not be given the opportunity to participate in investments made by investment funds managed by our investment adviser or an investment manager affiliated with our investment adviser. In any such case, when Full Circle Advisors identifies an investment, it will be forced to choose which investment fund should make the investment. Full Circle Advisors has implemented an allocation policy to ensure the equitable distribution of such investment opportunities consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act.

If our investment adviser forms other affiliates in the future, we may co-invest on a concurrent basis with such other affiliates, subject to compliance with applicable regulations and regulatory guidance and our allocation procedures.

In the course of our investing activities, we pay management and incentive fees to Full Circle Advisors and reimburse Full Circle Advisors for certain expenses it incurs. As a result, investors in our common stock invest on a “gross” basis and receive distributions on a “net” basis after expenses, resulting in a lower rate of return than an investor might achieve through direct investments. Accordingly, there may be times when the management team of Full Circle Advisors will have interests that differ from those of our stockholders, giving rise to a conflict. Full Circle Advisors is not reimbursed for any performance-related compensation for its employees.

We have entered into a royalty-free license agreement with our investment adviser, pursuant to which Full Circle Advisors grants us a non-exclusive royalty-free license to use the name “Full Circle.” Under the license agreement, we have the right to use the “Full Circle” name for so long as Full Circle Advisors or one of its affiliates remains our investment adviser. In addition, we will pay Full Circle Service Company, an affiliate of Full Circle Advisors, our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Full Circle Service Company 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 any administrative support staff. These arrangements create conflicts of interest that our Board of Directors must monitor.

In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered related party transactions. In order to ensure that we do not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with us, we have implemented certain written policies and procedures whereby our executive officers screen each of our transactions for any possible affiliations between the proposed portfolio investment, us, companies controlled by us and our executive officers and directors. We will not enter into any agreements unless and until we are satisfied that doing so will not raise concerns under the 1940 Act or, if such concerns exist, we have taken appropriate actions to seek board review and approval or exemptive relief for such transaction. Our Board of Directors reviews these procedures on an annual basis.

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

17


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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).

Our incentive fee structure and the formula for calculating the management fee may incentivize Full Circle Advisors to pursue speculative investments, use leverage when it may be unwise to do so, or refrain from delevering when it would otherwise be appropriate to do so.

The incentive fee payable by us to Full Circle Advisors may create an incentive for Full Circle Advisors to pursue investments on our behalf that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangement. The incentive fee payable to our investment adviser is calculated based on a percentage of our return on invested capital. In addition, our base management fee is calculated on the basis of our gross assets, including assets acquired through the use of leverage. This may encourage our investment adviser to use leverage to increase the aggregate amount of and the return on our investments, even when it may not be appropriate to do so, and to refrain from delevering when it would otherwise be appropriate to do so. Under certain circumstances, the use of leverage may increase the Company’s likelihood of default, which would impair the value of our common stock. In addition, the investment adviser will receive the incentive fee based, in part, upon net capital gains realized on our investments. Unlike that portion of the incentive fee based on income, there will be no hurdle rate applicable to the portion of the incentive fee based on net capital gains. As a result, the investment adviser may have a tendency to invest more capital in investments that are likely to result in capital gains as compared to income producing securities. Such a practice could result in our investing in more speculative securities than would otherwise be the case, which could result in higher investment losses, particularly during economic downturns.

The incentive fee payable by us to our investment adviser also may induce Full Circle Advisors to invest on our behalf in instruments that have a deferred interest feature, even if such deferred payments would not provide cash necessary to enable us to pay current distributions to our stockholders. Under these investments, we would accrue interest over the life of the investment but would not receive the cash income from the investment until the end of the term. Our net investment income used to calculate the income portion of our investment fee, however, will include accrued interest. Thus, a portion of this incentive fee would be based on income that we have not yet received in cash. In addition, the “catch-up” portion of the incentive fee may encourage Full Circle Advisors to accelerate or defer interest payable by portfolio companies from one calendar quarter to another, potentially resulting in fluctuations in timing and dividend amounts.

We may invest, to the extent permitted by law, in the securities and instruments of other investment companies, including private funds, and, to the extent we so invest, will bear our ratable share of any such investment company’s expenses, including management and performance fees. We will also remain obligated to pay management and incentive fees to Full Circle Advisors with respect to the assets invested in the securities and instruments of other investment companies. With respect to each of these investments, each of our stockholders will bear his or her share of the management and incentive fee of Full Circle Advisors as well as indirectly bearing the management and performance fees and other expenses of any investment companies in which we invest.

A general increase in interest rates will likely have the effect of making it easier for our investment adviser to receive incentive fees, without necessarily resulting in an increase in our net earnings.

Given the structure of our Investment Advisory Agreement with Full Circle Advisors, any general increase in interest rates will likely have the effect of making it easier for Full Circle Advisors to meet the quarterly hurdle rate for payment of income incentive fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement without any additional increase in relative performance on the part of our investment adviser. In addition, in view of the catch-up provision applicable to income incentive fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement, our investment adviser could potentially receive a significant portion of the increase in our investment income attributable to such a general increase in interest rates. If that were to occur, our increase in net earnings, if any, would likely be significantly smaller than the relative increase in our investment adviser’s income incentive fee resulting from such a general increase in interest rates.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our investment adviser has the right to resign on 60 days’ notice, and we may not be able to find a suitable replacement within that time, resulting in a disruption in our operations that could adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.

Our investment adviser has the right, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, to resign at any time upon not more than 60 days’ written notice, whether we have found a replacement or not. If our investment adviser resigns, we may not be able to find a new investment adviser or hire internal management with similar expertise and ability to provide the same or equivalent services on acceptable terms within 60 days, or at all. If we are unable to do so quickly, our operations are likely to experience a disruption, our financial condition, business and results of operations as well as our ability to pay distributions are likely to be adversely affected and the market price of our shares may decline. In addition, the coordination of our internal management and investment activities is likely to suffer if we are unable to identify and reach an agreement with a single institution or group of executives having the expertise possessed by our investment adviser and its affiliates. Even if we are able to retain comparable management, whether internal or external, the integration of such management and their lack of familiarity with our investment objective may result in additional costs and time delays that may adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.

We have a limited operating history as a business development company.

As a result of our limited operating history as a business development company, we are subject to many of the business risks and uncertainties associated with recently formed businesses, including the risk that we will not achieve our investment objective and that the value of your investment could decline substantially.

Our investment adviser may not be able to achieve the same or similar returns as those achieved by Mr. Stuart while he was employed at prior positions.

Although in the past Mr. Stuart held senior positions at a number of investment firms, including Full Circle Funding, LP, his track record and achievements are not necessarily indicative of future results that will be achieved by our investment adviser. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve the results realized by prior vehicles managed by Mr. Stuart, including the Legacy Funds.

Any failure on our part to maintain our status as a business development company would reduce our operating flexibility.

We have elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act imposes numerous constraints on the operations of business development companies. For example, business development companies are required to invest at least 70% of their gross assets in specified types of securities, primarily in private companies or thinly-traded U.S. public companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. Furthermore, any failure to comply with the requirements imposed on business development companies by the 1940 Act could cause the SEC to bring an enforcement action against us and/or expose us to claims of private litigants. In addition, upon approval of a majority of our stockholders, we may elect to withdraw our status as a business development company. If we decide to withdraw our election, or if we otherwise fail to qualify, or maintain our qualification, as a business development company, we may be subject to the substantially greater regulation under the 1940 Act as a closed-end investment company. Compliance with such regulations would significantly decrease our operating flexibility, and could significantly increase our costs of doing business.

Regulations governing our operation as a business development company affect our ability to raise additional capital and the way in which we do so. As a business development company, the necessity of raising additional capital may expose us to risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage.

We may issue debt securities or preferred stock and/or borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, which we refer to collectively as “senior securities,” up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, we will be permitted, as a business development company, to issue senior securities in amounts such that our asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% of gross assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test. If that

19


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

happens, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous. Also, any amounts that we use to service our indebtedness would not be available for distributions to our common stockholders. Furthermore, as a result of issuing senior securities, we would also be exposed to typical risks associated with leverage, including an increased risk of loss. As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $3.4 million of Distribution Notes outstanding, and had approximately $12.4 million outstanding and an additional $22.6 million of borrowing available under our $35 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with FCC, LLC d/b/a First Capital (“First Capital”). If we issue preferred stock, the preferred stock would rank “senior” to common stock in our capital structure, preferred stockholders would have separate voting rights on certain matters and might have other rights, preferences, or privileges more favorable than those of our common stockholders, and the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in your best interest.

We are not generally able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. We may, however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the then-current net asset value per share of our common stock if our Board of Directors determines that such sale is in the best interests of Full Circle Capital and its stockholders, and our stockholders approve such sale. In any such case, the price at which our securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price that, in the determination of our Board of Directors, closely approximates the market value of such securities (less any distributing commission or discount). If we raise additional funds by issuing more common stock or senior securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common stock, then the percentage ownership of our stockholders at that time will decrease, and you may experience dilution.

We borrow money, which magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and increases the risk of investing in us.

The use of leverage magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and, therefore, increases the risks associated with investing in our securities. We borrow from and issue senior debt securities to banks, insurance companies and other lenders. Holders of these senior securities will have fixed dollar claims on our assets that are superior to the claims of our common stockholders, and we would expect such lenders to seek recovery against our assets in the event of a default. If the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any decrease in our income would cause net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline could also negatively affect our ability to make dividend payments on our common stock. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique. Our ability to service any debt that we incur will depend largely on our financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures. Moreover, as the management fee payable to our investment adviser, Full Circle Advisors, is payable based on our gross assets, including those assets acquired through the use of leverage, Full Circle Advisors has a financial incentive to incur leverage which may not be consistent with our stockholders’ interests. In addition, our common stockholders bear the burden of any increase in our expenses as a result of leverage, including any increase in the management fee payable to Full Circle Advisors.

As a business development company, we are generally required to meet an asset coverage ratio, defined under the 1940 Act as the ratio of our gross assets (less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities) to our outstanding senior securities, of at least 200% after each issuance of senior securities. If this ratio declines below 200%, we may not be able to incur additional debt and could be required by law to sell a portion of our investments to repay some debt when it is disadvantageous to do so, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations, and we may not be able to make distributions. The amount of leverage that we employ depends on our investment adviser’s and our Board of Directors’ assessment of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.

In addition, the Credit Facility and Distribution Notes impose, and any other debt facility into which we may enter would likely impose, financial and operating covenants that restrict our business activities, including limitations that could hinder our ability to finance additional loans and investments or to make the distributions required to maintain our status as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The material financial terms of the Distribution Notes and the Credit Facility are as follows:

   
  Distribution Notes   Credit Facility
Approximate Principal Amount at December 31, 2011     $3.4 million (1)
      $12.4 million (2)
 
Interest Rate     8%       LIBOR + 5.50%  
Maturity Date     February 2014 (3)
      July 2012  

(1) Reflects approximate total principal amount of Distribution Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2012.
(2) Reflects approximate total amount of borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2012.
(3) Subject to redemption by us at our election.

The Distribution Notes contain certain terms that may be more favorable to us than we would otherwise be able to obtain from other senior unsecured lenders. As a result, we may be required to incur leverage equal to the amount of the Distribution Notes on less favorable terms to us in order to repay the Distribution Notes upon their maturity, to the extent we do not have sufficient available cash on hand at that time.

Illustration.   The following table illustrates the effect of leverage on returns from an investment in our common stock assuming various annual returns, net of expenses. The calculations in the table below are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing below.

Assumed Return on Our Portfolio (1) (2)

Corresponding net return to common stockholder     (14.62 )%       (8.19 )%       (1.77 )%       4.65 %       11.07 %  

(1) Assumes $71.4 million in total assets, $15.8 million in debt outstanding, $55.6 million in net assets, and an average cost of funds of 6.24%. Actual interest payments may be different.
(2) In order for us to cover our annual interest payments on indebtedness, we must achieve annual returns on our March 31, 2012 total assets of at least 1.38%.

An inability to raise capital or access debt financing could negatively affect our business.

We will need to periodically access the capital markets to raise cash to fund new investments. We have elected to be treated as a RIC and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the U.S. federal income tax treatment applicable to RICs. Among other things, in order to maintain our RIC status, we must distribute to our stockholders on a timely basis generally an amount equal to at least 90% of our investment company taxable income (as defined by the Code), and, as a result, such distributions will not be available to fund investment originations. As a result, we must continue to borrow from financial institutions and issue additional securities to fund our growth. Unfavorable economic or capital market conditions may increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or could result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. Over the past several years, the capital markets and the credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption and, accordingly, there has been and will continue to be uncertainty in the financial markets in general. An inability to successfully access the capital or credit markets for either equity or debt could limit our ability to grow our business and fully execute our business strategy and could decrease our earnings, if any.

If the fair value of our assets declines substantially, we may fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios imposed upon us by the 1940 Act. Any such failure, or a tightening or general disruption of the credit markets, would affect our ability to issue senior securities, including borrowings, and pay dividends, which could materially impair our business operations.

On January 22, 2012, we extended the Credit Facility to expire July 31, 2012. We cannot assure you that we will be able to further renew our Credit Facility, obtain other lines of credit or issue senior securities at all or on terms acceptable to us to replace our Credit Facility. If we are unable to renew our Credit Facility or obtain other sources of capital, or are unable to repay amounts outstanding under any facilities or are declared in default, we may be unable to initiate significant originations or operate our business in the normal course.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In particular, any default under our Credit Facility, or inability to extend or refinance it, could limit our ability to pay dividends until outstanding amounts are fully repaid. In such circumstances, among other things, we may be forced to sell assets at unfavorable prices and be unable to meet our distribution requirement, which could jeopardize our RIC status.

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly results.

We could experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including our ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet our investment criteria, the interest rate payable on the debt securities we acquire, the level of portfolio dividend and fee income, the level of our expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which we encounter competition in our markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to reclassify any unissued shares of common stock into one or more classes of preferred stock, which could convey special rights and privileges to its owners.

Under Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter, our Board of Directors is authorized to classify and reclassify any authorized but unissued shares of stock into one or more classes of stock, including preferred stock. Prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, the Board of Directors will be required by Maryland law and our charter to set the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each class or series. Thus, the Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. The cost of any such reclassification would be borne by our common stockholders. Certain matters under the 1940 Act require the separate vote of the holders of any issued and outstanding preferred stock. For example, holders of preferred stock would vote separately from the holders of common stock on a proposal to cease operations as a business development company. In addition, the 1940 Act provides that holders of preferred stock are entitled to vote separately from holders of common stock to elect two preferred stock directors. We currently have no plans to issue preferred stock. The issuance of preferred shares convertible into shares of common stock may also reduce the net income and net asset value per share of our common stock upon conversion, provided, that we will only be permitted to issue such convertible preferred stock to the extent we comply with the requirements of Section 61 of the 1940 Act, including obtaining common stockholder approval. These effects, among others, could have an adverse effect on your investment in our common stock.

Our Board of Directors may change our investment objective, operating policies and strategies without prior notice or stockholder approval, the effects of which may be adverse.

Our Board of Directors has the authority to modify or waive our investment objective, current operating policies, investment criteria and strategies without prior notice and without stockholder approval. We cannot predict the effect any changes to our current operating policies, investment criteria and strategies would have on our business, net asset value, operating results and value of our stock. However, the effects might be adverse, which could negatively impact our ability to pay you dividends and cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

We will be subject to corporate-level income tax if we are unable to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.

Although we have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, no assurance can be given that we will be able to continue to qualify for and maintain RIC status. To maintain RIC tax treatment under the Code, we must meet the following annual distribution, income source and asset diversification requirements.

22


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The annual distribution requirement for a RIC will be satisfied if we distribute to our stockholders on an annual basis at least 90% of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any. Because we may use debt financing, we are subject to certain asset coverage ratio requirements under the 1940 Act and financial covenants under loan and credit agreements that could, under certain circumstances, restrict us from making distributions necessary to satisfy the distribution requirement. If we are unable to make the required distributions, we could fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.

The income source requirement will be satisfied if we obtain at least 90% of our income for each year from dividends, interest, gains from the sale of stock or securities or similar sources.

The asset diversification requirement will be satisfied if we meet certain asset diversification requirements at the end of each quarter of our taxable year. Failure to meet those requirements may result in our having to dispose of certain investments quickly in order to prevent the loss of RIC status. Because most of our investments will be in private companies, and therefore will be relatively illiquid, any such dispositions could be made at disadvantageous prices and could result in substantial losses.

If we fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment for any reason and become subject to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions.

There is a risk that our stockholders may not receive distributions or that our distributions may not grow over time.

We intend to make distributions on a monthly basis to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. We cannot assure you that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make a specified level of cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a business development company, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions. See “Regulation as a Business Development Company.”

We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.

For federal income tax purposes, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as original issue discount, which may arise if we receive warrants in connection with the origination of a loan or possibly in other circumstances, or contractual “payment-in-kind,” or PIK, interest, which represents contractual interest added to the loan balance and due at the end of the loan term. Such original issue discounts or increases in loan balances as a result of contractual PIK arrangements will be included in income before we receive any corresponding cash payments. We are also required to include in income certain other amounts that we do not receive in cash.

Since, in certain cases, we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may have difficulty meeting the annual distribution requirement necessary to maintain RIC tax treatment under the Code. In addition, since our incentive fee is payable on our income recognized, rather than cash received, we may be required to pay advisory fees on income before or without receiving cash representing such income. The base management fee we pay to our adviser may also increase in the event that the accrual of non-cash income results in an increase to the fair value of our investments. Accordingly, we may have to sell some of our investments at times and/or at prices we would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or forgo new investment opportunities in order to pay advisory fees. If we are not able to obtain cash from other sources, we may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax. For additional discussion regarding the tax implications of a RIC, please see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

We may in the future choose to pay dividends in our own stock, in which case you may be required to pay tax in excess of the cash you receive.

We may distribute taxable dividends that are payable in part in our stock. Under certain applicable provision of the Code and the Treasury regulations, distributions payable in cash or in shares of stock at the election of shareholders are treated as taxable dividends. The Internal Revenue Service has issued private

23


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

rulings indicating that this rule will apply even if the total amount of cash that may be distributed is limited to no more than 20% of the total distribution. Under these rulings, if too many shareholders elect to receive their distributions in cash, each such shareholder would receive a pro rata share of the total cash to be distributed and would receive the remainder of their distribution in shares of stock. If we decide to make any distributions consistent with these rulings that are payable in part in our stock, taxable stockholders receiving such dividends will be required to include the full amount of the dividend (whether received in cash, our stock, or combination thereof) as ordinary income (or as long-term capital gain to the extent such distribution is properly designated as a capital gain dividend) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. stockholder may be required to pay tax with respect to such dividends in excess of any cash received. If a U.S. stockholder sells the stock it receives as a dividend in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend, depending on the market price of our stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. stockholders, we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in stock. In addition, if a significant number of our stockholders determine to sell shares of our stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividends, it may put downward pressure on the trading price of our stock.

Changes in laws or regulations governing our operations may adversely affect our business or cause us to alter our business strategy.

We and our portfolio companies are subject to applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, including, without limitation, federal immigration laws and regulations. New legislation may be enacted or new interpretations, rulings or regulations could be adopted, including those governing the types of investments we are permitted to make, any of which could harm us and our stockholders, potentially with retroactive effect. Additionally, any changes to the laws and regulations governing our operations relating to permitted investments may cause us to alter our investment strategy in order to avail ourselves of new or different opportunities. Such changes could result in material differences to the strategies and plans set forth herein and may result in our investment focus shifting from the areas of expertise of our investment adviser’s investment committee to other types of investments in which the investment committee may have less expertise or little or no experience. Thus, any such changes, if they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

Provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and of our charter and bylaws could deter takeover attempts and have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

The Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter and bylaws contain provisions that may discourage, delay or make more difficult a change in control of Full Circle Capital or the removal of our directors. We are subject to the Maryland Business Combination Act, subject to any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act. Our Board of Directors has adopted a resolution exempting from the Business Combination Act any business combination between us and any other person, subject to prior approval of such business combination by our board, including approval by a majority of our independent directors. If the resolution exempting business combinations is repealed or our board does not approve a business combination, the Business Combination Act may discourage third parties from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating such an offer. Our bylaws exempt from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act acquisitions of our stock by any person. If we amend our bylaws to repeal the exemption from the Control Share Acquisition Act, the Control Share Acquisition Act also may make it more difficult for a third party to obtain control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating such a transaction.

We have also adopted measures that may make it difficult for a third party to obtain control of us, including provisions of our charter classifying our Board of Directors in three classes serving staggered three-year terms, and authorizing our Board of Directors to classify or reclassify shares of our stock in one or more classes or series, to cause the issuance of additional shares of our stock, to amend our charter without stockholder approval and to increase or decrease the number of shares of stock that we have authority to issue. These provisions, as well as other provisions of our charter and bylaws, may delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We incur significant costs as a result of being a publicly traded company.

As a publicly traded company, we incur legal, accounting and other expenses, including costs associated with the periodic reporting requirements applicable to a company whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as well as additional corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Terrorist attacks, acts of war or natural disasters may affect any market for our common stock, impact the businesses in which we invest and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Terrorist acts, acts of war or natural disasters may disrupt our operations, as well as the operations of the businesses in which we invest. Such acts have created, and continue to create, economic and political uncertainties and have contributed to global economic instability. Future terrorist activities, military or security operations, or natural disasters could further weaken the domestic/global economies and create additional uncertainties, which may negatively impact the businesses in which we invest directly or indirectly and, in turn, could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. Losses from terrorist attacks and natural disasters are generally uninsurable.

Risks Relating to Our Investments

Our investments are very risky and highly speculative, and the smaller and lower middle-market companies we target may have difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet their future capital needs, which may limit their ability to grow or to repay their outstanding indebtedness upon maturity.

We invest primarily in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and select equity investments issued by leveraged companies.

Senior Secured Loans .  There is a risk that the collateral securing our loans may decrease in value over time, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the portfolio company to raise additional capital, and, in some circumstances, our lien could be subordinated to claims of other creditors. In addition, deterioration in a portfolio company’s financial condition and prospects, including its inability to raise additional capital, may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the collateral for the loan. Consequently, the fact that a loan is secured does not guarantee that we will receive principal and interest payments according to the loan’s terms, or at all, or that we will be able to collect on the loan should we be forced to enforce our remedies.

Mezzanine Loans .  Our mezzanine debt investments are generally subordinated to senior loans and are generally unsecured. As such, other creditors may rank senior to us in the event of an insolvency, which could likely in many cases result in a substantial or complete loss on such investment in the case of such insolvency. This may result in an above average amount of risk and loss of principal.

Equity Investments.   When we invest in senior secured loans or mezzanine loans, we may acquire equity securities as well. In addition, we may invest directly in the equity securities of portfolio companies. The equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. Accordingly, we may not be able to realize gains from our equity interests, and any gains that we do realize on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses we experience.

In addition, investing in smaller and lower middle-market companies involves a number of significant risks, including:

these companies may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their debt securities that we hold, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a reduction in the likelihood of us realizing any guarantees we may have obtained in connection with our investment;
they typically have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors’ actions and market conditions, as well as general economic downturns;

25


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

they are more likely to depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of persons; therefore, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on our portfolio company and, in turn, on us;
they generally have less predictable operating results, may from time to time be parties to litigation, may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, and may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position. In addition, our executive officers, directors and our investment adviser may, in the ordinary course of business, be named as defendants in litigation arising from our investments in the portfolio companies;
they may have difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet future capital needs, which may limit their ability to grow or to repay their outstanding indebtedness upon maturity; and
a portion of our income may be non-cash income, such as contractual PIK interest, which represents interest added to the loan balance and due at the end of the loan term. Instruments bearing PIK interest typically carry higher interest rates as a result of their payment deferral and increased credit risk. When we recognize income in connection with PIK interest, there is a risk that such income may become uncollectable if the borrower defaults.

Investing in smaller and lower middle-market companies involves a high degree of risk and our financial results may be affected adversely if one or more of our significant portfolio investments defaults on its loans or fails to perform as we expect.

Our portfolio consists primarily of debt and equity investments in privately owned smaller and lower middle-market companies. Investing in smaller and lower middle-market companies involves a number of significant risks. Typically, the debt in which we invest is not initially rated by any rating agency; however, we believe that if such investments were rated, they would be below investment grade. Compared to larger publicly owned companies, these smaller and lower middle-market companies may be in a weaker financial position and experience wider variations in their operating results, which may make them more vulnerable to economic downturns. Typically, these companies need more capital to compete; however, their access to capital is limited and their cost of capital is often higher than that of their competitors. Our portfolio companies face intense competition from larger companies with greater financial, technical and marketing resources and their success typically depends on the managerial talents and efforts of an individual or a small group of persons. Therefore, the loss of any of its key employees could affect a portfolio company’s ability to compete effectively and harm its financial condition. Further, some of these companies conduct business in regulated industries that are susceptible to regulatory changes. These factors could impair the cash flow of our portfolio companies and result in other events, such as bankruptcy. These events could limit a portfolio company’s ability to repay its obligations to us, which may have an adverse effect on the return on, or the recovery of, our investment in these businesses. Deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition and prospects may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the loan’s collateral.

Most of the loans in which we invest are not structured to fully amortize during their lifetime. Accordingly, if a borrower has not previously pre-paid its loan to us, a significant portion of the principal amount due on such a loan may be due at maturity. As of March 31, 2012, none of the Level 3 debt instruments in our portfolio, on a fair value basis, will fully amortize prior to maturity. In order to create liquidity to pay the final principal payment, borrowers typically must raise additional capital. If they are unable to raise sufficient funds to repay us or we have not elected to enter into a new loan agreement providing for an extended maturity, the loan will go into default, which will require Full Circle Capital to foreclose on the borrower’s assets, even if the loan was otherwise performing prior to maturity. This will deprive Full Circle Capital from immediately obtaining full recovery on the loan and prevent or delay the reinvestment of the loan proceeds in other, more profitable investments.

Some of these companies cannot obtain financing from public capital markets or from traditional credit sources, such as commercial banks. Accordingly, loans made to these types of companies pose a higher default risk than loans made to companies that have access to traditional credit sources.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An investment strategy focused primarily on privately held companies presents certain challenges, including the lack of available information about these companies, a dependence on the talents and efforts of only a few key portfolio company personnel and a greater vulnerability to economic downturns.

We invest primarily in privately held companies. Generally, little public information exists about these companies, and we are required to rely on the ability of Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential returns from investing in these companies. If we are unable to uncover all material information about these companies, we may not make a fully informed investment decision, and we may lose money on our investments. Also, privately held companies frequently have less diverse product lines and smaller market presence than larger competitors. These factors could adversely affect our investment returns as compared to companies investing primarily in the securities of public companies.

Our portfolio companies may incur debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, our investments in such companies.

We invest primarily in senior secured term debt issued by smaller and lower middle-market companies. Our portfolio companies may have, or may be permitted to incur, other debt that ranks equally with, or in some cases senior to, the debt in which we invest. By their terms, such debt instruments may entitle the holders to receive payment of interest or principal on or before the dates on which we are entitled to receive payments with respect to the debt instruments in which we invest. Also, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company, holders of debt instruments ranking senior to our investment in that portfolio company would typically be entitled to receive payment in full before we receive any distribution. After repaying such senior creditors, such portfolio company may not have any remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to us. In the case of debt ranking equally with debt instruments in which we invest, we would have to share on an equal basis any distributions with other creditors holding such debt in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company.

There may be circumstances where our debt investments could be subordinated to claims of other creditors or we could be subject to lender liability claims.

Even though we may have structured most of our investments as secured loans, if one of our portfolio companies were to go bankrupt, depending on the facts and circumstances, and based upon principles of equitable subordination as defined by existing case law, a bankruptcy court could subordinate all or a portion of our claim to that of other creditors and transfer any lien securing such subordinated claim to the bankruptcy estate. The principles of equitable subordination defined by case law have generally indicated that a claim may be subordinated only if its holder is guilty of misconduct or where the senior loan is re-characterized as an equity investment and the senior lender has actually provided significant managerial assistance to the bankrupt debtor. We may also be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by us with respect to a borrower’s business or instances where we exercise control over the borrower. It is possible that we could become subject to a lender’s liability claim, including as a result of actions taken in rendering significant managerial assistance or actions to compel and collect payments from the borrower outside the ordinary course of business.

Second priority liens on collateral securing loans that we make to our portfolio companies may be subject to control by senior creditors with first priority liens. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay in full both the first priority creditors and us.

Certain loans that we make are secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral pledged by a portfolio company to secure senior debt owed by the portfolio company to commercial banks or other traditional lenders. Often the senior lender has procured covenants from the portfolio company prohibiting the incurrence of additional secured debt without the senior lender’s consent. Prior to and as a condition of permitting the portfolio company to borrow money from us secured by the same collateral pledged to the senior lender, the senior lender will require assurances that it will control the disposition of any collateral in the event of bankruptcy or other default. In many such cases, the senior lender will require us to enter into an “intercreditor agreement” prior to permitting the portfolio company to borrow from us. Typically the intercreditor agreements we will be requested to execute expressly subordinate our debt instruments to

27


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

those held by the senior lender and further provide that the senior lender shall control: (1) the commencement of foreclosure or other proceedings to liquidate and collect on the collateral; (2) the nature, timing and conduct of foreclosure or other collection proceedings; (3) the amendment of any collateral document; (4) the release of the security interests in respect of any collateral; and (5) the waiver of defaults under any security agreement. Because of the control we may cede to senior lenders under intercreditor agreements we may enter, we may be unable to realize the proceeds of any collateral securing some of our loans.

Capital markets have recently been in a period of disruption and instability. These market conditions have materially and adversely affected debt and equity capital markets in the United States and abroad, which had, and may in the future have, a negative impact on our business and operations.

The global capital markets have recently been in a period of disruption as evidenced by a lack of liquidity in the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market and the failure of certain major financial institutions. Despite actions of the United States federal government and foreign governments, these events contributed to worsening general economic conditions that materially and adversely impacted the broader financial and credit markets and reduced the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole and financial services firms in particular. While recent indicators suggest improvement in the capital markets, we cannot provide any assurance that these conditions will not worsen. Under current conditions, we and other companies in the financial services sector may have to access, if available, alternative markets for debt and equity capital. Equity capital may be difficult to raise because as a business development company we are generally not able to issue additional shares of our common stock at a price less than net asset value. In addition, our ability to incur indebtedness (including by issuing preferred stock) is limited by applicable regulations such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, must equal at least 200% immediately after each time we incur indebtedness. The debt capital that will be available, if at all, may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions in the future. Any inability to raise capital could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell such investments if required. As a result, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded our investments. In addition, significant changes in the capital markets, including the recent extreme volatility and disruption, have had, and may in the future have, a negative effect on the valuations of our investments and on the potential for liquidity events involving our investments. An inability to raise capital, and any required sale of our investments for liquidity purposes, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio companies and harm our operating results.

In recent years, the economy was in the midst of a recession and in a difficult part of a credit cycle. Many of our portfolio companies may be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions and may be unable to repay our loans during these periods. Therefore, our non-performing assets may increase and the value of our portfolio may decrease during these periods as we are required to record the values of our investments. Adverse economic conditions also may decrease the value of collateral securing some of our loans and the value of our equity investments at fair value. Economic slowdowns or recessions could lead to financial losses in our portfolio and a decrease in revenues, net income and assets. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. These events could prevent us from increasing investments and harm our operating results.

A portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by us or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, acceleration of the time when the loans are due and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize the portfolio company’s ability to meet its obligations under the debt that we hold. We may incur additional expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company. In addition, if one of our portfolio companies were to go bankrupt, depending on the facts and circumstances,

28


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

including the extent to which we actually provided significant managerial assistance to that portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might recharacterize our debt holding and subordinate all or a portion of our claim to that of other creditors.

The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business.

Generally, we invest in companies whose securities are not publicly traded, and whose securities will be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or will otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities. The illiquidity of these investments may make it difficult for us to sell these investments when desired. In addition, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we had previously recorded these investments. As a result, we do not expect to achieve liquidity in our investments in the near-term. Our investments will usually be subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale or are otherwise illiquid because there is usually no established trading market for such investments. The illiquidity of most of our investments may make it difficult for us to dispose of them at a favorable price, and, as a result, we may suffer losses.

Our failure to make follow-on investments in our portfolio companies could impair the value of our portfolio.

Following an initial investment in a portfolio company, we may make additional investments in that portfolio company as “follow-on” investments, in order to: (i) increase or maintain in whole or in part our equity ownership percentage; (ii) exercise warrants, options or convertible securities that were acquired in the original or a subsequent financing; or (iii) attempt to preserve or enhance the value of our investment. We may elect not to make follow-on investments or otherwise lack sufficient funds to make those investments. We will have the discretion to make any follow-on investments, subject to the availability of capital resources. The failure to make follow-on investments may, in some circumstances, jeopardize the continued viability of a portfolio company and our initial investment, or may result in a missed opportunity for us to increase our participation in a successful operation. Even if we have sufficient capital to make a desired follow-on investment, we may elect not to make a follow-on investment because we do not want to increase our concentration of risk, we prefer other opportunities, we are subject to business development company requirements that would prevent such follow-on investments, or the follow-on investment would affect our RIC tax status.

Our portfolio may lack diversification among portfolio companies which may subject us to a risk of significant loss if one or more of these companies defaults on its obligations under any of its debt instruments.

Our portfolio may hold a limited number of portfolio companies. For example, the 5 largest investments in our portfolio as of March 31, 2012 represented 55.2% of the portfolio assets of the Company. Beyond the asset diversification requirements associated with our qualification as a RIC under the Code, we do not have fixed guidelines for diversification, and our investments may be concentrated in relatively few companies. As our portfolio is less diversified than the portfolios of some larger funds, we are more susceptible to failure if a single loan fails. Similarly, the aggregate returns we realize may be significantly adversely affected if a small number of investments perform poorly or if we need to write down the value of any one investment.

Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries, which may subject us to a risk of significant loss if there is a downturn in a particular industry in which a number of our investments are concentrated.

Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries. A downturn in any particular industry in which we are invested could significantly impact the aggregate returns we realize.

As of March 31, 2012, our investments in the business services industry (such as companies that provide services related to data and information, information retrieval or asset recovery) represented approximately 26% of the fair value of our portfolio, our investments in the communications industry (such as companies that provide digital video satellite and broadband service to multiple dwelling units) represented approximately 27% of the fair value of our portfolio, our investments in the media industry (such as outdoor advertising or

29


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

radio broadcasting companies) represented approximately 13% of the fair value of our portfolio, and our investments in the industrial manufacturing industry represented approximately 13% of the fair value of our portfolio. In addition, we may from time to time invest a relatively significant percentage of our portfolio in industries we do not necessarily target. If an industry in which we have significant investments suffers from adverse business or economic conditions, as these industries have to varying degrees, a material portion of our investment portfolio could be affected adversely, which, in turn, could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.

Because we generally do not hold controlling equity interests in our portfolio companies, we may not be in a position to exercise control over our portfolio companies or to prevent decisions by management of our portfolio companies that could decrease the value of our investments.

We generally do not hold controlling equity positions in our portfolio companies. As a result, we are subject to the risk that a portfolio company may make business decisions with which we disagree, and that the management and/or stockholders of a portfolio company may take risks or otherwise act in ways that are adverse to our interests. Due to the lack of liquidity of the debt and equity investments that we typically hold in our portfolio companies, we may not be able to dispose of our investments in the event we disagree with the actions of a portfolio company and may therefore suffer a decrease in the value of our investments.

Defaults by our portfolio companies will harm our operating results.

A portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by us or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, termination of its loans and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize a portfolio company’s ability to meet its obligations under the debt or equity securities that we hold. We may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms, which may include the waiver of certain financial covenants, with a defaulting portfolio company. If any of these occur, it could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.

Any unrealized losses we experience on our loan portfolio may be an indication of future realized losses, which could reduce our income available for distribution.

As a business development company, we are required to carry our investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Decreases in the fair values of our investments are recorded as unrealized depreciation. Any unrealized losses in our loan portfolio could be an indication of a portfolio company’s inability to meet its repayment obligations to us with respect to the affected loans. This could result in realized losses in the future and ultimately in reductions of our income available for distribution in future periods.

Prepayments of our debt investments by our portfolio companies could adversely impact our results of operations and reduce our return on equity.

We are subject to the risk that the investments we make in our portfolio companies may be repaid prior to maturity. When this occurs, we will generally reinvest these proceeds in temporary investments or repay our Credit Facility, depending on future investment in new portfolio companies. These temporary investments will typically have substantially lower yields than the debt being prepaid and we could experience significant delays in reinvesting these amounts. Any future investment in a new portfolio company may also be at lower yields than the debt that was repaid. As a result, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected if one or more of our portfolio companies elect to prepay amounts owed to us. Additionally, prepayments could negatively impact our return on equity, which could result in a decline in the market price of our common stock. The investments in our portfolio have historically experienced only limited prepayments.

Because we use debt to finance our investments, changes in interest rates will affect our cost of capital and net investment income.

Because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we can offer no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income in the event we use debt to finance our investments. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income. We expect that our long-term fixed-rate investments will be financed primarily with equity and long-term debt. We may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Such techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Our investment adviser does not have significant experience with utilizing these techniques and did not implement these techniques to any significant extent with the Legacy Portfolio. If we do not implement these techniques properly, we could experience losses on our hedging positions, which could be material.

You should also be aware that a rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to our debt investments. Accordingly, an increase in interest rates would make it easier for us to meet or exceed the incentive fee hurdle rate and may result in a substantial increase in the amount of incentive fees payable to our investment adviser with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income.

As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $3.4 million of Distribution Notes outstanding, and had $12.4 million borrowings outstanding and $22.6 million of borrowing available under the Credit Facility.

We may not realize gains from our equity investments.

Certain investments that we may make in the future include warrants or other equity securities. Investments in equity securities involve a number of significant risks, including the risk of further dilution as a result of additional issuances, inability to access additional capital and failure to pay current distributions. Investments in preferred securities involve special risks, such as the risk of deferred distributions, credit risk, illiquidity and limited voting rights. In addition, we may from time to time make non-control, equity investments in portfolio companies. Our goal is ultimately to realize gains upon our disposition of such equity interests. However, the equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. Accordingly, we may not be able to realize gains from our equity interests, and any gains that we do realize on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses we experience. We also may be unable to realize any value if a portfolio company does not have a liquidity event, such as a sale of the business, recapitalization or public offering, which would allow us to sell the underlying equity interests. We often seek puts or similar rights to give us the right to sell our equity securities back to the portfolio company issuer. We may be unable to exercise these puts rights for the consideration provided in our investment documents if the issuer is in financial distress.

Investments in foreign securities may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

Our investment strategy contemplates possible investments in debt securities of foreign companies. Our investment adviser does not have significant experience with investments in foreign securities and did not acquire such investments to any significant extent in connection with its management of the Legacy Portfolio. Investing in foreign companies may expose us to additional risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include changes in exchange control regulations, political and social instability, expropriation, imposition of foreign taxes, less liquid markets and less available information than is generally the case in the United States, higher transaction costs, less government supervision of exchanges, brokers and issuers, less developed bankruptcy laws, difficulty in enforcing contractual obligations, lack of uniform accounting and auditing standards and greater price volatility.

Although all of our investments are U.S. dollar-denominated, any investments denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to the risk that the value of a particular currency will change in relation to one or more other currencies. Among the factors that may affect currency values are trade balances, the level of short-term interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term

opportunities for investment and capital appreciation, and political developments. We may employ hedging techniques to minimize these risks, but we can offer no assurance that we will, in fact, hedge currency risk, or that if we do, such strategies will be effective.

We may expose ourselves to risks if we engage in hedging transactions.

If we engage in hedging transactions, we may expose ourselves to risks associated with such transactions. We may utilize instruments such as forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of our portfolio positions from changes in currency exchange rates and market interest rates. Hedging against a decline in the values of our portfolio positions does not eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the values of such positions or prevent losses if the values of such positions decline. However, such hedging can establish other positions designed to gain from those same developments, thereby offsetting the decline in the value of such portfolio positions. Such hedging transactions may also limit the opportunity for gain if the values of the underlying portfolio positions increase. It may not be possible to hedge against an exchange rate or interest rate fluctuation that is so generally anticipated that we are not able to enter into a hedging transaction at an acceptable price. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we may not seek to establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation may prevent us from achieving the intended hedge and expose us to risk of loss. In addition, it may not be possible to hedge fully or perfectly against currency fluctuations affecting the value of securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies because the value of those securities is likely to fluctuate as a result of factors not related to currency fluctuations.

Risks Relating to Offerings Pursuant to this Prospectus

Shares of closed-end investment companies, including business development companies, may trade at a discount to their net asset value.

Shares of closed-end investment companies, including business development companies, may trade at a discount from net asset value. This characteristic of closed-end investment companies and business development companies is separate and distinct from the risk that our net asset value per share may decline. Our common stock is currently trading below net asset value, and we cannot predict whether, in the future, our common stock will trade at, above or below net asset value.

Existing stockholders may incur dilution if we sell shares of our common stock in one or more offerings at prices below the then current net asset value per share of our common stock or issue securities to subscribe to, convert to or purchase shares of our common stock.

The 1940 Act prohibits us from selling shares of our common stock at a price below the current net asset value per share of such stock, with certain exceptions. One such exception is prior stockholder approval of issuances below net asset value provided that our Board of Directors makes certain determinations. At our 2011 Annual Stockholders Meeting, our stockholders approved a proposal that authorizes us to sell shares of our common stock below the then current net asset value per share of our common stock in one or more offerings for a period of one year ending on the earlier of December 21, 2012 or our 2012 Annual Stockholders Meeting. Continued access to this exception will require approval of similar proposals at future stockholder meetings. Any decision to sell shares of our common stock below the then current net asset value per share of our common stock would be subject to the determination by our Board of Directors that such issuance is in our and our stockholders' best interests.

If we were to sell shares of our common stock below net asset value per share, such sales would result in an immediate dilution to the net asset value per share held by our existing stockholders. This dilution would occur as a result of the sale of shares at a price below the then current net asset value per share of our common stock and a proportionately greater decrease in a stockholder's interest in our earnings and assets and voting interest in us than the increase in our assets resulting from such issuance. In addition, if we issue securities to subscribe to, convert to or purchase shares of common stock, the exercise or conversion of such securities would increase the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Any such exercise would be dilutive on the voting power of existing stockholders, and could be dilutive with regard to dividends and our net asset value, and other economic aspects of the common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Because the number of shares of common stock that could be so issued and the timing of any issuance is not currently known, the actual dilutive effect cannot be predicted; however, the example below illustrates the effect of dilution to existing stockholders resulting from the sale of common stock at prices below the net asset value of such shares. Please see “Sales of Common Stock Below Net Asset Value” for a more complete discussion of the potentially dilutive impacts of an offering at a price less than net asset value, or NAV, per share.

Illustration: Example of Dilutive Effect of the Issuance of Shares Below Net Asset Value.   Assume that Company XYZ has 1,000,000 total shares outstanding, $15,000,000 in total assets and $5,000,000 in total liabilities. The net asset value per share of the common stock of Company XYZ is $10.00. The following table illustrates the reduction to net asset value, or NAV, and the dilution experienced by Stockholder A following the sale of 40,000 shares of the common stock of Company XYZ at $9.50 per share, a price below its NAV per share.

Our common stock price may be volatile and may decrease substantially, and our stockholders may lose money in connection with an investment in our shares.

The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. The price of our common stock may increase or decrease, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;
investor demand for our shares;
significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of business development companies or other companies in our sector, which are not necessarily related to the operating performance of these companies;
changes in regulatory policies or tax guidelines with respect to RICs or business development companies;
failure to qualify as a RIC, or the loss of RIC status;
any shortfall in revenue or net income or any increase in losses from levels expected by investors or securities analysts;
changes, or perceived changes, in the value of our portfolio investments;
departures of Full Circle Advisors’ key personnel;
operating performance of companies comparable to us; or
general economic conditions and trends and other external factors.

In the event our common stock price decreases, our stockholders may lose money.

In addition, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Due to the potential volatility of our

stock price once a market for our stock is established, we may become the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources from our business.

We will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds of any offering made pursuant to this prospectus, to the extent it is successful.

We will have significant flexibility in applying the proceeds of any offering made pursuant to this prospectus. We will also pay operating expenses, and may pay other expenses such as due diligence expenses of potential new investments, from net proceeds. Our ability to achieve our investment objective may be limited to the extent that the net proceeds of the offering, pending full investment, are used to pay operating expenses. In addition, we can provide you no assurance that the current offering will be successful, or that by increasing the size of our available equity capital our aggregate expenses, and correspondingly, our expense ratio, will be lowered.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus 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, 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. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:

our future operating results;
our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
the impact of investments that we expect to make;
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
our expected financings and investments;
the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital; and
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies.

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 when we elect to use leverage as part of our investment strategy;
risks associated with possible disruption in our operations or the economy generally due to terrorism or natural disasters; and
the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus 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. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new loans and investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this prospectus 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 prospectus. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. However, we will update this prospectus to reflect any material changes to the information contained herein. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include investing in new portfolio companies in accordance with our investment objective and strategies described in this prospectus, the repayment of outstanding indebtedness, acquisitions and for other general working capital purposes. The supplement to this prospectus relating to an offering will more fully identify the use of the proceeds from such offering.

We estimate that it will take three to six months for us to substantially invest the net proceeds of any offering made pursuant to this prospectus, depending on the availability of attractive opportunities and market conditions. However, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to achieve this goal.

Pending these uses, we will invest such net proceeds primarily in cash, cash equivalents, and U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less consistent with our business development company election and our election to be taxed as a RIC, at yields significantly below those we expect to earn on our other portfolio investments. The management fee payable by us to our investment adviser will not be reduced while our assets are invested in these temporary investments.

On June 14, 2012, the last reported sales price of our common stock was $7.39 per share.

Shares of BDCs may trade at a market price that is less than the value of the net assets attributable to those shares. The possibility that our shares of common stock will trade at a discount from net asset value or at premiums that are unsustainable over the long term are separate and distinct from the risk that our net asset value will decrease. Since our initial public offering in September 2010 through June 14, 2012, our shares of common stock have traded at a discount to the net assets attributable to those shares. As of June 14, 2012, our shares of common stock traded at a discount equal to approximately 17% of the net assets attributable to those shares based upon our net asset value as of March 31, 2012. It is not possible to predict whether the shares offered hereby will trade at, above, or below net asset value.

We currently intend to distribute a minimum of 90% of our ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders. The amount of our distributions is determined by our Board of Directors. To the extent our taxable earnings for any fiscal year fall below the total amount of our distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to our stockholders. There can be no assurance that we will achieve investment results or maintain a tax status that will permit any particular level of dividend payment. Our ability to make distributions is limited by the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act. For a more detailed discussion, see “Regulation as a Business Development Company.”

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan. If your shares of common stock are registered in your own name, your distributions will automatically be reinvested under our dividend reinvestment plan in additional whole and fractional shares of common stock, unless you opt out of our dividend reinvestment plan by delivering a written notice to our dividend paying agent. If your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee, you should contact the broker or nominee for details regarding opting out of our dividend reinvestment plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial and Other Data and our Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this prospectus contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements and Projections” appearing elsewhere herein.

Overview

We are an externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company formed in April 2010, and have 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.

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

39


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 Art Credit Company, LLC, 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.

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.

40


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.

Warrants

The Company’s Board of Directors ascribes value to warrants based on fair value analyses that may 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 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.

Waiver and Expense Reimbursement

Our investment adviser agreed to waive the 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. In addition, our investment adviser 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 (the “Expense Reimbursement Agreement”). This agreement was extended through September 30, 2011 and expired on such date.

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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.

Portfolio Composition and Investment Activity

Our portfolio of investments consists primarily of senior secured loans and, to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans and equity securities 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.

The following is a summary of our quarterly investment activity since the completion of our initial public offering. Such amounts are not inclusive of our holdings of United States Treasury Bills.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On February 17, 2011, the Company placed Bloomingdale Partners, LP in default on its loan. On March 31, 2011 the assets of Bloomingdale Partners, LP were transferred to Texas Westchester Financial, LLC, and the Company forgave its loan in exchange for a controlling interest in 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 March 31, 2012, and June 30, 2011, excluding United States Treasury Bills of approximately $30.0 million and $26.0 million, respectively:

Portfolio Grading

We have adopted a credit grading system to monitor the quality of our debt investment portfolio. As of March 31, 2012, our portfolio had a weighted average grade of 3.34, based upon the fair value of the debt investments in the portfolio, excluding United States Treasury Bills of approximately $30.0 million. Equity securities are not graded. This was a decline of 0.23 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:

At March 31, 2012, our debt investment portfolio was graded as follows:

     
  March 31, 2012
Grade   Summary Description   Fair Value   Percentage of
Total Portfolio
1     Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio, the portfolio company is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk profile are favorable (including a potential exit).     $       %  
2     The portfolio company is performing above expectations and the risk profile is generally favorable.       7,649,072       11.57  
3     Risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination, the portfolio company is performing as expected, and the risk profile is generally neutral; all new investments are initially assessed a grade of 3.       35,765,912       54.08  
4     The portfolio company is performing below expectations, requires procedures for closer monitoring, may be out of compliance with debt covenants, and the risk profile is generally unfavorable       18,776,918       28.39  
5     The investment is performing well below expectations and is not anticipated to be repaid in full.       1,989,892       3.01  
           $ 64,181,794       97.05 %  

At June 30, 2011, our debt investment portfolio was graded as follows:

     
  June 30, 2011
Grade   Summary Description   Fair Value   Percentage of Total Portfolio
1     Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio, the portfolio company is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk profile are favorable (including a potential exit).     $       %  
2     The portfolio company is performing above expectations and the risk profile is generally favorable.       5,330,357       9.39  
3     Risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination, the portfolio company is performing as expected, and the risk profile is generally neutral; all new investments are initially assessed a grade of 3.       37,438,090       65.92  
4     The portfolio company is performing below expectations, requires procedures for closer monitoring, may be out of compliance with debt covenants, and the risk profile is generally unfavorable       12,769,011       22.48  
5     The investment is performing well below expectations and is not anticipated to be repaid in full.              
           $ 55,537,458       97.79 %  

We expect that a portion of our investments will be in grades 4 or 5 from time to time, and, as such, we will be required to work with portfolio companies to improve their business and protect our investment. The number and amount of investments included in grades 4 or 5 may fluctuate from period to period.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

Full Circle Capital commenced operations on August 31, 2010, so the results for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, reflect approximately seven months 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 nine months ended March 31, 2012. Fee income consists principally of administrative fees, prepayment fees, structuring fees and unused line fees.

Total investment income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, was $7,345,868. This amount consisted of $6,588,040 of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $68,842 of PIK interest), $57,216 of dividend income and $700,612 of fee income.

Total investment income for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, was $5,851,202. This amount consisted of $5,068,513 of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $168,013 of PIK interest), $212,925 of dividend income and $569,764 of fee income.

The increase in interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to the Company’s operations commencing on August 31, 2011. The decrease in dividend income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to the redemption of the Company’s previous investment in First Capital Lotus Asset-Based Loan Fund I, LP in December 2010. The decrease in PIK interest for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 is primarily attributable to the fact that the Company received a prepayment from West World Media, LLC and ceased generating PIK interest from any of its portfolio investments. The increase in fee income, which often fluctuates from period to period, for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to additional originations resulting in structuring fees recognized during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

Expenses

Gross operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, were $3,898,104. Net operating expenses (offset by the waived portion of the base management fee and the accrual for waiver of operating expenses) for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, were $3,584,312.

Gross operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, were $3,103,174. Net operating expenses (offset by the waived portion of the base management fee and the accrual for waiver of operating expenses) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, were $2,687,659.

The increase in our net operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 is primarily due to the Company’s operations commencing on August 31, 2010. As the company commenced operations on August 31, 2010, the expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, represent approximately seven months of operations, except for organizational expenses of $178,979, which were incurred over the nine months ended March 31, 2011, and operating expenses of $18,465, which were incurred in the months of July and August 2010.

Net Investment Income (Loss)

Net investment income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, was $3,761,556. Net investment income per share was $0.61 for the period.

As the company commenced operations on August 31, 2010, the net investment income of $3,163,543 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, represents approximately seven months of operations, except for organizational expenses of $178,979, which were incurred over the nine months ended March 31, 2011, and operating expenses of $18,465, which were incurred in the months of July and August 2010. Organizational expenses are not expected to reoccur. Net investment income per share was $0.52 for the time period from August 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. The increase in our net investment income for the nine months ended

March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 is primarily due to the Company’s operations commencing on August 31, 2011.

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 nine months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded a realized gain of $127,039 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 nine months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded a realized gain in the amount of $344,417. Of this gain, $66,980 was associated with the partial repayment of the loan to Georgia Outdoor Advertising, LLC on February 1, 2011 and $240,509 was associated with the full repayment of the loans to the Icon Groupe, LLC on January 21, 2011. Realized gain per share for the period from August 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 was $0.06.

Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments

Change in unrealized gain (loss) 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 on investments per share was $0.08 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of $512,907. This consisted of $887,692 of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments offset by $374,785 of net unrealized appreciation on equity investments.

Change in unrealized loss on investments per share was $0.23 for the time period from August 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of $1,381,276. This consisted of $517,064 of net unrealized depreciation on debt investments and $864,212 of net unrealized depreciation on equity investments recognized between the commencement of operations on August 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011.

The movement in change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to the increase in fair value of one of the Company’s equity investments.

Discussion of our results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2011.

Full Circle Capital was formed on April 16, 2010 and commenced operations on August 31, 2010. As a result, there is no comparable period to compare results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2011.

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 year ended June 30, 2011. Fee income consists principally of administrative fees, prepayment fees, structuring fees and unused line fees.

Total investment income for the year ended June 30, 2011 was $7,959,637. This amount consisted of $6,997,481 of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $246,566 of PIK interest), $215,260 of dividend income and $746,896 of fee income.

The Company did not record unrealized appreciation or depreciation for the period from April 16, 2010 to June 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2012, we had investments in debt securities of fourteen companies, totaling approximately $64.2 million, and equity investments in seven companies, totaling approximately $1.9 million.

Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in “Results of Operations,” was approximately $6.4 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 provided by purchases and sales of investments was approximately $9.3 million, reflecting net additional investments in existing securities of $7.5 million, offset by principal repayments of $10.6 million. Such amounts are not inclusive of our purchase of United States Treasury Bills or Money Market Funds.

For the year ended June 30, 2011, cash provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of repayments of investments and the items described in “Results of Operations,” was approximately $16.5 million, reflecting the 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 provided by purchases and sales of investments was approximately $14.9 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, as amended, will expire on July 31, 2012. Under the agreement, base rate borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 5.50%. As of March 31, 2012, we had $12.4 million outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012, we held approximately $2.9 million in cash and did not have any cash equivalents in our 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. This may include replacing or further extending 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 pursuant to a proposal, approved by our stockholders at our December 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, authorizing us to sell shares of our common stock below its then current net asset value per share in one or more offerings for a period of one year ending on December 21, 2012. We would need similar future approval from our stockholders to issue shares below the then current net asset value per share any time after the expiration of the current approval. 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.

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 on July 31, 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, a minimum level of earnings and a minimum asset coverage ratio. 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Credit Facility Amendment

On May 7, 2012, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility, which waived a technical default of a fixed charge coverage ratio requirement (the “Fixed Charge Coverage Requirement”) and replaced such Fixed Charge Coverage Requirement with a requirement to maintain a specified level of earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2012, two debt investments in our portfolio were at a fixed rate, and the remaining twenty debt investments were at variable rates, representing approximately $5.6 million and $60.1 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 March 31, 2012. We have also assumed $12.4 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 $0.1 million annually. Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing interest rate sensitivity at March 31, 2012, 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BUSINESS

Overview

We are an externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC 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.

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. In conjunction with our initial public offering in August 2010, we acquired a portfolio of investments, valued at approximately $72 million, from the Legacy Funds in exchange for shares of our common stock. We invest primarily in 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. 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.

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 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 most of 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 can 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.

As a business development company, we are required to meet regulatory tests, including the requirement to invest at least 70% of our gross assets in “qualifying assets.” Qualifying assets generally include, among other things, securities of “eligible portfolio companies.” “Eligible portfolio companies” generally include U.S. companies that are not investment companies and that do not have securities listed on a national exchange. See “Regulation as a Business Development Company.” We may also borrow funds to make investments. In addition, we have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated

Investment Adviser and Administrator

We are managed by Full Circle Advisors, whose investment committee members have an average of approximately 20 years of experience financing and investing in smaller and lower middle-market companies. Full Circle Advisors is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee also presently manages Full Circle Funding, LP, a specialty lender serving smaller and lower middle-market companies. The investment committee has to date originated approximately $268 million in loans and investments in 52 distinct borrowers since inception of Full Circle Funding, LP in 2005 and through activities at Full Circle Advisors since August 2010. The existing investment funds managed by Full Circle Funding, LP, which currently consist of the Legacy Funds, have been fully committed and are no longer making investments in new opportunities. The Legacy Funds are expected to be wound down as their remaining investments mature. Full Circle Funding, LP and other affiliates of our investment adviser may manage other funds and accounts in the future.

We benefit from the proven ability of our investment adviser’s investment committee to identify attractive investment opportunities, conduct diligence on and value prospective investments, negotiate terms, secure collateral against our loans and manage and monitor a diversified portfolio of those investments. Our investment adviser’s investment committee members have broad investment backgrounds, with prior experience at investment banks, commercial banks, unregistered investment funds and other financial services companies, and have collectively developed a broad network of contacts to provide us with our principal source of investment opportunities.

Our investment adviser is controlled and led by John E. Stuart, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Stuart is assisted by Stephen J. Healey, Lawrence Chua and Crandall Deery, who each serve as a Vice President of Full Circle Advisors. We consider Messrs. Stuart, Healey, Chua and Deery to be Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement with Full Circle Advisors, we have agreed to pay Full Circle Advisors an annual base management fee based on our gross assets as well as an incentive fee based on our performance. See “Investment Advisory Agreement.”

We have also entered into the Administration Agreement, under which we have agreed to reimburse Full Circle Service Company for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Full Circle Service Company in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including furnishing us with office facilities, equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities, as well as providing us with other administrative services. Full Circle Service Company is controlled by John E. Stuart, our President and Chief Executive Officer. See “Administration Agreement.”

Business Strategy

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We have adopted the following business strategies to achieve our investment objective:

Deliver Flexible Financing Solutions.   We believe our ability to provide a broad range of flexible debt financing solutions to smaller and lower middle-market companies sets us apart from other capital providers. We offer to our portfolio companies debt financing facilities that, combined with our ability to recognize the underlying value and security of diverse types of traditional and non-traditional asset based collateral, we believe allows us to provide flexible facilities to fit the capital requirements of each borrower. We believe that our focus on providing senior secured and stretch senior loans provides a more efficient and less complicated capital structure and source of capital for borrowers. We also believe that it maximizes our control of and exposure to asset-based collateral coverage as security for our loans, thereby greatly reducing our risk of possible losses due to deterioration in a borrower’s performance.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Focus on Smaller and Lower Middle-Market Companies.   We generally provide capital to our portfolio companies for growth capital, acquisition financing and refinancing of existing debt facilities. We believe our target portfolio companies are generally involved in industries or markets that are under-followed or serviced because they are either less visible to mainstream institutions or investors, or are too small or localized for larger financial institutions or larger funds, particularly those that lack the requisite industry-specific knowledge and expertise. We believe there have historically been fewer banks and finance companies focused on lending to these types of smaller and lower middle-market companies. As a result, we believe we can negotiate terms on loans to these types of companies that generally possess better risk-adjusted return profiles than terms on loans to larger, more mainstream companies. Such favorable terms may include higher debt yields, lower leverage levels, more significant covenant protection and/or greater equity grants than typical of transactions involving larger companies. 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.
Focus on Senior Secured Lending and Structuring of Investments to Minimize Risk of Loss.   We seek to structure our loan investments on a favorable LTV exposure based on underlying collateral or enterprise value with high cash yields, cash origination fees, low leverage levels and strong investment protections. We generally seek to protect against risk of loss on our debt investments by securing most of our loans against a significant level of tangible or intangible assets of our borrowers, obtaining a favorable LTV ratio or other financial protections or credit enhancements, rather than lending predominantly against anticipated cash flows of borrowers. We believe this provides us with more options and a greater likelihood of repayment from both cash flow and/or asset sales.
Structure Loans with Superior Security and Asset Protection.   Our loan instruments and documentation focus on favorable lender protections with security over the collateral, financial and other covenants and rigorous reporting requirements on behalf of our borrowers. We monitor covenant and other loan compliance on a monthly and quarterly basis and personnel from our investment adviser will perform periodic field exams at the borrower level. We utilize both term debt and revolving loan structures and, accordingly, often seek to maintain control of our borrowers’ cash receipts from revenues as additional security for our positions. As of March 31, 2012, we had lockbox or dominion of cash, or account control agreements, on 99% of the borrowers in our portfolio, as calculated by principal amount, fair value and annual revenue. Such amounts are not inclusive of our holdings of United States Treasury Bills. In addition, we may seek credit enhancements, such as personal guarantees from a borrower’s principal owners or “make well” features to provide us with additional equity in the event of underperformance. We may also seek a pledge of stock or other assets from a borrower or its operating subsidiaries.
Pursue Attractive Risk Adjusted Returns .  As of March 31, 2012, the weighted average annualized yield of the debt investments comprising our portfolio was approximately 13%, which includes a cash interest component of approximately 100%. In the future, a component of our interest may be in the form of payment-in-kind, or “PIK,” interest. PIK interest represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term and recorded as interest income on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. For additional information regarding PIK interest and related risks, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Structure — We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.” The 22 individual debt investments, from 14 distinct borrowers, included in our portfolio averaged a LTV ratio of approximately 61% as of March 31, 2012 (i.e., each $61 of loan value outstanding is secured by $100 of collateral value). Although it is subject to fluctuation, we believe this LTV ratio, which measures the aggregate amount of our loan positions against the aggregate amount of primary collateral value pledged by our borrowers as security against our loans, reflects the relative strength of the debt investments comprising our portfolio. Finally, our debt investments are designed to have strong protections beyond repayment from cash flow and asset liquidation coverage, including

59


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

default penalties, information rights, and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, such as lien protection and prohibitions against change of control. We believe this level of collateral protection helps minimize against the risk of loss, even if a loan goes into default.
Leveraging the Skill, Experience and Resources of Full Circle Advisors’ Investment Committee.   Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee members have an average of approximately 20 years of experience financing and investing in smaller and lower middle-market companies. The investment committee members have broad investment and operational backgrounds, with prior experience at specialty finance companies, investment management firms, private equity investment funds, investment banks and other financial services companies. We believe their expertise in analyzing, valuing, structuring, negotiating, closing, monitoring and restructuring transactions should provide us with a competitive advantage by allowing us to consider customized financing solutions and non-traditional and complex structures. We believe this experience should also be valuable when we have to work with stressed and distressed credits.
Balanced Investing Across Industries with Expertise.   While we seek to maintain a portfolio of investments that is appropriately balanced among various companies, industries, geographic regions and end markets, we focus our investing activities on certain areas that we believe maintain favorable asset coverage positions, including the media, communications and business services industries. We believe that the stable, long term asset values that may be found in many of the industries in which we invest can provide us with significant collateral protection on our loans, in contrast to taking some of the risks of repayment attendant to relying exclusively on a borrower’s current cash flows. Going forward, we intend to seek to maintain a balanced portfolio to mitigate the potential effects of negative economic events for particular companies, regions and industries.
Capitalize on Strong Transaction Sourcing Network.   Our investment adviser’s investment committee seeks to leverage their extensive network of referral sources for investments in smaller and lower middle-market companies. We believe through their prior investment experience, the investment committee members have collectively developed a reputation in our target market and in the industries in which we invest as a responsive, efficient and reliable source of flexible financing.
Employ Disciplined Underwriting Policies and Rigorous Portfolio Management.   We directly originate most of our investments, which, in our experience, generally allows us to pursue a more rigorous due diligence examination of the investments than if we invest as part of a lending syndicate led by others. Our investment adviser’s investment committee has developed an extensive underwriting due diligence process which includes a review of the prospects, competitive position, financial performance and industry dynamics of each potential portfolio company. In underwriting a potential borrower, they engage in a variety of quantitative and qualitative stress tests, and analyze our ability to successfully liquidate a favorable collateral package underlying a loan in the event of default. These processes continue during the portfolio monitoring process, when our investment adviser will, depending on the borrower, analyze monthly and/or quarterly financial statements versus the previous periods and year, review financial projections, conduct field examinations, meet with management, attend board meetings, review all compliance certificates and covenants and regularly assess the financial and business conditions and prospects of borrowers.

Market Opportunity

We believe that the current credit environment provides favorable opportunities to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns on the types of asset-based senior secured loans we target. In particular, we believe that demand for financing from smaller to lower middle-market companies is largely outpacing the availability of lenders that have traditionally served this market. While this has traditionally been an underserved market, we believe the supply-demand imbalance of loans to smaller borrowers was exacerbated by the credit crisis in 2008/2009, and has not fully recovered. 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.

60


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Thus we believe that the current credit markets combined with certain long term trends associated with lending to smaller and lower middle-market companies provide the ideal market environment.

Competitive Edge and Skill Set.   Our core strength of providing efficient and flexible lending solutions to smaller and lower middle-market companies requires a market approach and skill set that we believe is generally not found in larger or more localized regional lenders. We believe that many of the companies we target are in industries that are less visible or too specialized for larger mainstream institutions or investors, or require too little funding or are too localized for larger financial institutions to consider, particularly where those institutions lack the requisite industry-specific knowledge and expertise. From 1992 through 2011, loan composition for banks sized greater than $1 billion in assets showed a decline of commercial and industrial loans from 30% to 20% while real estate lending grew from 39% to 52%. Accordingly, we believe that many potential competitive lenders lack the personnel or lending experience required to address the very strong market demand for commercial and industrial lending. We believe our strengths include the ability to originate, underwrite and manage a more labor intensive portfolio consisting of debt investments in smaller companies, and to operate underwriting, due diligence and loan portfolio management activities singularly focused on these types of companies.
Strong Demand For Capital Coupled with Fewer Providers.   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. Further, we believe the supply-demand imbalance of smaller borrowers to lenders serving that market was exacerbated by the credit crisis in 2008/2009, and has not fully recovered. 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.

More Conservative Deal Structures.   As a result of, and in the aftermath of, the 2008/2009 credit crisis, we believe lenders are mandating less leverage, more equity and tighter loan covenants than what had previously been customary. We believe that lower purchase prices for assets and lower debt multiples, combined with greater equity cushions beneath loans, allows for greater cash flow for debt service, creating faster loan repayments despite overall higher debt costs to borrowers. We believe this aspect provides considerable cushion against underperformance and default of borrowers as well as faster de-risking of loan positions as credit statistics improve over the term of the loan facilities.
Attractive Return Profile.   We believe the reduced access to, and reduced availability of, debt capital has decreased competition in smaller to lower middle-market lending which had already become less competitive and more fragmented prior to the credit crisis, resulting in a better market for loan pricing. We believe that the withdrawal of many traditional senior lenders from the market, combined with reduced advance rates and leverage levels, allows for stretch senior lenders to charge rates that typically reflect mezzanine or subordinated structures for entire facilities, while maintaining first lien senior secured positions over the loan collateral provided by the borrowers. Our investment adviser’s investment committee has experienced this attractive return environment

since the onset of the credit crisis in the second half of 2008, when transactions originated by them saw increased returns from interest and fees charged, as well as more meaningful warrant participations.

Investments

We engage in various investment strategies in order to achieve our overall lending and investment objectives. The strategy we select depends upon, among other things, market opportunities, the skills and experience of our investment adviser’s investment committee and our overall portfolio composition. Our strategies generally seek to provide current cash yields and favorable loan-to-value ratios, or other financial guarantees or credit enhancements with respect to loan collateral. Many of our debt investments offer the opportunity to participate in a borrower’s equity performance through warrant participation, equity related success fees, direct equity ownership or otherwise, and many notes that we purchase require the borrower to pay an early termination fee. Collectively, these attributes have been, and are expected to be, an important contributor to the returns generated by our investment adviser’s investment committee.

Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee uses a disciplined investment, portfolio monitoring and risk management process which emphasizes strict underwriting standards and guidelines, strong due diligence investigation, regular position review and analysis, and proper investment diversification. They allocate capital among different investment sectors on the basis of relative risk/reward profiles as a function of their associated downside risk, volatility, perceived fundamental risk and liquidity.

Types of Investments

We target debt investments that yield meaningful current income and, in many cases, provide the opportunity for capital appreciation through equity securities.

Debt Investments

Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee tailors the terms of each debt investment to the facts and circumstances of the transaction and prospective portfolio company, negotiating a structure that seeks to protect our rights and manage our risk while creating incentives for the portfolio company to achieve its business plan. As of March 31, 2012, our debt investments were secured by first, and in some cases second, priority liens on the assets of the portfolio company. Our primary source of return is the monthly cash interest we collect on our debt investments.

First Lien Loans.   Our first lien loans generally have terms of two to five years and generally provide a variable interest rate, subject to a floor to protect against return compression in a falling interest rate environment. These loans generally do not have interest rate ceilings. Such facilities contain prepayment penalties and are secured by a first priority security interest in all existing and future assets of the borrower. Our first lien loans may take many forms, including revolving lines of credit, term loans, multi-draw term loans and other lines of credit. We often seek to employ a lockbox to collect payment receipts, as we believe it protects us against payment delinquencies and provides increased security and protection in the event of a default or under performance. A focus within our first lien loans is senior secured “stretch” loans which, along with most of the attributes of our first lien loans, include a greater advance rate against the borrower and accordingly carry a higher interest rate or greater equity participation.
Second Lien Loans.   Our second lien loans generally have terms of five to six years, provide for a fixed or floating interest rate, contain prepayment penalties and are secured by a second priority security interest in all existing and future assets of the borrower. We generally avoid second lien exposure without also investing in the first lien loans of the portfolio company. We believe this gives us greater influence and control should any issues arise between the two instruments. Our second lien loans may to a lesser extent include payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest for a portion of the interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal that generally becomes due at maturity.
Unsecured Loans.   Although our portfolio does not currently have any investments in unsecured loans, we may make such investments in the future. We would expect any unsecured investments

62


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

generally to have terms of five to six years and provide for a fixed interest rate. We may make unsecured investments on a stand-alone basis, or in conjunction with a senior secured loan, a junior secured loan or a “one-stop” financing. Our potential unsecured investments may include payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal that generally becomes due at maturity, and an equity component, such as warrants to purchase common stock in the portfolio company.

Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee typically structures debt investments to include covenants that seek to minimize the risk of capital loss. These debt investments generally have strong protections, including default penalties, information rights, board observation rights, and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, such as lien protection and prohibitions against change of control. These debt investments also have substantial prepayment penalties designed to extend the average life of the loans, which we believe will help to grow our portfolio.

Equity Investments

When we make a debt investment, we may be granted equity participation in the form of three to five year warrants to purchase common equity in the company in the same class of security that the owners or equity sponsors receive upon funding. In addition, we may make equity investments or structure a profit sharing arrangement in conjunction with a loan transaction with a borrower. Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee generally seeks to structure our equity investments, such as direct equity co-investments, to provide us with minority rights provisions and event-driven put rights. They also seek to obtain limited registration rights in connection with these investments, which may include “piggyback” registration rights.

Senior Secured Lending Focus

In most cases, our investment adviser’s investment committee attempts to protect against risk of loss on our debt investments by making senior loans secured by the assets of our borrowers, and obtaining favorable loan-to-value ratios or other financial protections or credit enhancements, rather than lending exclusively against “cash flows.” Loans may be backed by a variety of types of tangible and intangible assets, including, but not limited to, lease obligations, royalty interests, commercial account receivables, contractual revenue and payment rights (including contacts providing for recurring monthly revenue streams), settlements, franchise rights, licenses, permits, mortgages, easements and other real property interests, and other tangible personal property, and intangible property such as intellectual property and patents. Our debt investments typically have a first, and in some cases a second, priority senior security interest in the operative assets of the borrower and collateral assignment of rights and contracts, though we also may make mezzanine and equity investments where we believe the risk and reward, and level of security, warrants such an investment. As an asset based lender, we seek to provide working capital lines to borrowers secured by accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, real estate and in some cases, intellectual property or brand values. These facilities will typically be comprised of a borrowing base formula and include revolving loans and term loans as part of their structures.

Our investment focus may shift over time, consistent with our overall lending and investment objectives, and desire for senior secured loans with some level of collateral protection.

Invested Industries

Our portfolio contains investments in a variety of industries where some aspect of tangible or intangible asset is available for collateral protection. Our portfolio contains a number of investments in the media and communications and business services industries, as a result of the Legacy Portfolio’s emphasis, and the focus and prior investing experience of our investment adviser’s investment committee, in those sectors. However, these industries are not our only focus, and we seek prospective investments in other commercial and industrial and sectors. As a result, we expect that the relative portion of our portfolio invested in the media and communications and business services industries may decrease over time.

As of March 31, 2012, approximately 27% and 13% of our portfolio consists of loans to and investments in companies involved in the communications industry (such as companies that provide digital video satellite and broadband service to multiple dwelling units) and media industry (such as outdoor advertising and radio

63


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

broadcasting companies), respectively. Such percentages are not inclusive of our holdings of United States Treasury Bills. Our investment adviser’s investment committee has extensive experience in the media and communication sectors. We believe that these sectors present significant investment opportunities that possess attractive loan attributes. These include, but are not limited to, long-term tangible and intangible assets, the ability to perfect our security interest in the collateral, relatively stable revenue and cash flow profile, the ability to foreclose on and transport the underlying collateral should we need to take control of it, and a broad market of participants to purchase or operate the business and assets in the event of foreclosure.

Our media and communications investments generally are secured by long-term tangible or intangible assets which include, but are not limited to, regulatory licenses, franchises or leasehold values, associated contractual revenue and cash flow streams and intellectual property, including copyrights and patents. Within these parameters, we focus on smaller and lower middle-market media and communications investments.

As of March 31, 2012, approximately 26% of our portfolio consists of loans to and investments in companies involved in the broader business services industry (such as companies that provide services related to data and information, information retrieval and asset recovery). Such percentage is not inclusive of our holdings of United States Treasury Bills. These companies typically provide a range of services to customers and such services are generally characterized by their non-discretionary spending nature, contracts of varying length which provide recurring monthly revenues and contracts or services that can be sold or assigned to another provider upon liquidation or sale of a business.

As of March 31, 2012, approximately 13% of our portfolio consists of loans to and investments in companies involved in industrial manufacturing. Such percentage is not inclusive of our holdings of United States Treasury Bills. We believe that this sector can present significant investment opportunities that possess attractive loan attributes. These include, but are not limited to, long-term tangible assets, the ability to perfect our security interest in the collateral and attractive risk exposure when viewed on a debt to EBITDA basis.

Investment Selection

Our investment adviser’s investment committee is responsible for all aspects of our investment process. The current members of the investment committee are John Stuart, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Stephen Healey, Lawrence Chua and Crandall Deery, who each serve as a Vice President of Full Circle Advisors. While the investment strategy involves a team approach, whereby potential transactions are screened by various members of the investment committee, Mr. Stuart must approve of all investments in order for them to proceed. The stages of our investment selection process are as follows:

Deal Generation/Origination

Deal generation and origination is maximized through long-standing and extensive relationships with industry contacts, brokers, commercial and investment bankers, entrepreneurs, services providers such as lawyers and accountants, as well as current and former clients, portfolio companies and investors. Our investment adviser’s investment committee supplements these lead generators by also utilizing broader marketing efforts, such as attendance at prospective borrower industry conventions, an active calling effort to smaller private equity firms and sponsors, and through web presence and search tool optimizations. They also focus their deal generation and origination efforts on smaller and lower middle-market companies. Our investment adviser’s investment committee has developed a reputation as a knowledgeable and reliable source of capital, providing value-added industry advice and financing assistance to borrowers’ businesses.

Screening

In screening potential investments, our investment adviser’s investment committee utilizes the same value-oriented investment philosophy they employed in their work with the Legacy Funds and commits resources to managing downside exposure.

Portfolio Company Characteristics

We have identified several criteria that we believe are important in identifying and investing in prospective portfolio companies. These criteria provide general guidelines for our investment adviser’s investment committee’s decisions; however, not all of these criteria will be met by each prospective portfolio

64


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

company in which they choose to invest. Generally, our investment adviser seeks to utilize its access to information generated by its investment committee to identify investment candidates and to structure investments quickly and effectively.

Established Companies.   We primarily seek to invest in established companies with sound historical financial and operating performance. We typically focus on companies with an operating cash flow profile. We generally do not intend to invest in start-up companies or companies with highly speculative business plans.

Defensible and Sustainable Business or Asset Values.   We seek to invest in companies with proven products and/or services and strong regional or national operations and assets that cannot be easily replicated or substituted, and generally hold value through economic downturns, industry consolidation, changing business preferences and other factors that may negatively impact their customers, suppliers and competitors.

Ability to Exert Meaningful Influence or Control Over Our Investment.   We target investment opportunities in which we will be the lead or sole investor in our portion of the capital structure, and in which we can add value through active participation, often through advisory positions.

Exit Strategy.   We predominantly invest in companies which provide multiple alternatives for an eventual exit. We seek companies that we believe will provide a stable underlying asset value and a steady stream of cash flow that will allow for repayment from refinancing, asset or business sales and principal amortization. We believe that such asset coverage combined with internally generated cash flow, which primarily provides for the payment of interest on, and the repayment of the principal of, our investments in portfolio companies represents a key means by which we will be able to service our loans and eventually exit from our investments over time.

In addition, we also seek to invest in companies whose business models and expected future cash flows offer attractive exit possibilities due to strong asset values and unique or difficult to aggregate assets. These companies include candidates for strategic acquisition by other industry participants and companies that may repay our investments through an initial public offering of common stock or another capital market transaction.

Liquidation Value of Assets.   The prospective liquidation value of the assets, if any, collateralizing loans in which we invest is an important factor in our credit analysis. Our analysis emphasizes both tangible assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate, and intangible assets, such as intellectual property, customer lists, networks and databases.

Experienced and Committed Management.   We generally require that portfolio companies have an experienced management team. We also generally require portfolio companies have in place proper incentives to induce management to succeed and to act in concert with our interests as investors, including having significant equity interests.

In addition to the standards applied in evaluating investments in all industries, our main criteria in analyzing investments in media and communications companies include their site or market area quality, underlying leases, license or franchise terms, stability of revenue streams and asset values through economic cycles, market liquidity of their underlying assets, and our anticipated level of recovery upon foreclosure.

Due Diligence   Our investment adviser conducts diligence on prospective portfolio companies consistent with the approach its investment committee adopted in their work with the Legacy Funds. We believe that the investment committee has a reputation for conducting extensive due diligence investigations in their investment activities. In conducting due diligence, our investment adviser uses publicly available information as well as information from its relationships with former and current management teams, consultants, competitors and investment bankers.

65


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our investment adviser’s due diligence typically includes:

review of historical and prospective financial information;
research relating to the company’s management, industry, markets, products and services and competitors;
on-site visits and verification of collateral;
interviews with management, employees, customers and vendors of the potential portfolio company;
review of senior loan documents;
asset and business value appraisals by third party advisors; and
background checks.

Upon the completion of due diligence and a decision to proceed with an investment in a company, the investment professionals leading the investment present the investment opportunity to our investment adviser’s investment committee, which then determines whether to pursue the potential investment. Additional due diligence with respect to any investment may be conducted on our behalf by attorneys and independent accountants prior to the closing of the investment, as well as other outside third-party advisers, as appropriate. Any fees and expenses incurred by Full Circle Advisors in connection with due diligence investigations undertaken by third parties are subject to reimbursement by Full Circle Capital, if not otherwise reimbursed by the prospective borrower, which reimbursements are in addition to any management or incentive fees payable under our Investment Advisory Agreement to Full Circle Advisors. While the investment strategy involves a team approach, Full Circle Capital may not enter into a transaction without the prior approval of Mr. Stuart.

Ongoing Relationship with Portfolio Companies

Managerial Assistance

As a business development company, we offer, and must provide upon request, managerial assistance to 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. We may also receive fees for these services. Full Circle Service Company provides such managerial assistance on our behalf to portfolio companies that request this assistance. With regard to the control investments in Texas Westchester Financial, LLC and The Finance Company, LLC, we provided managerial assistance during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 for which no fees were charged. Our Chief Executive Officer and President, John Stuart, currently serves as a director of The Finance Company, LLC. As of March 31, 2012, none of our other portfolio companies had accepted our offer for managerial assistance.

Monitoring

Our investment adviser monitors our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. It monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company to determine if it is meeting its business plan and to assess the appropriate course of action for each company.

Our investment adviser has several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which include the following:

Assessment of success in adhering to each portfolio company’s business plan and compliance with covenants;
Periodic and regular contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic sponsor, to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;
Comparisons to our other portfolio companies in the industry, if any;
Attendance at and participation in board meetings; and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Review of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections for portfolio companies.

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our investment adviser also uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor our expected level of return on each investment in our portfolio.

We use an investment rating scale of 1 to 5. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:

 
Investment
Rating
  Summary Description
1   Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio, the portfolio company is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk profile are favorable (including a potential exit)
2   The portfolio company is performing above expectations and the risk profile is generally favorable
3   Risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination, the portfolio company is performing as expected, and the risk profile is generally neutral; all new investments are initially assessed a grade of 3
4   The portfolio company is performing below expectations, requires procedures for closer monitoring, may be out of compliance with debt covenants, and the risk profile is generally unfavorable
5   The investment is performing well below expectations and is not anticipated to be repaid in full

Our investment adviser monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment ratings assigned to each investment in our portfolio. As of March 31, 2012, the weighted average investment rating on the fair market value of our portfolio was 3.34. In connection with our valuation process, our investment adviser reviews these investment ratings on a quarterly basis, and our Board of Directors affirms such ratings. The investment rating of a particular investment should not, however, be deemed to be a guarantee of the investment’s future performance.

Valuation Procedures

We conduct the valuation of our assets, pursuant to which our net asset value is determined, at all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act. Our valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:

Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange shall be valued at such price as of the closing price on the day of valuation. We may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, we determine whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined adequate, we use the quote obtained.

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 our investment adviser or Board of Directors, does not represent fair value, which represents all of the investments in our portfolio except for our investment in United States Treasury Bills, shall each be valued as follows: (i) each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment; (ii) preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with our senior management; (iii) independent third-party valuation firms engaged by, or on behalf of, the Board of Directors will conduct independent appraisals and review management’s preliminary valuations and make their own assessment for all material assets; (iv) the Board of Directors will discuss valuations and determine the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the investment adviser and, where appropriate, the respective third-party valuation firms.

67


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The recommendation of fair value is generally based on the following factors, as relevant:

the nature and realizable value of any collateral;
the portfolio company’s ability to make payments;
the portfolio company’s earnings and discounted cash flow;
the markets in which the issuer does business; and
comparisons to publicly traded securities.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a pricing source is not sufficient may include, but are not limited to, the following:

private placements and restricted securities that do not have an active trading market;
securities whose trading has been suspended or for which market quotes are no longer available;
debt securities that have recently gone into default and for which there is no current market;
securities whose prices are stale;
securities affected by significant events; and
securities that the investment adviser believes were priced incorrectly.

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates.

Staffing

We do not currently have any employees. Mr. Stuart, our Chief Executive Officer and President, currently serves as the manager of our investment adviser, Full Circle Advisors. William E. Vastardis, our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, is the President of Vastardis Fund Services LLC, and performs his function under the terms of an agreement between Full Circle Service Company and Vastardis Fund Services LLC. Salvatore Faia, our Chief Compliance Officer, is the President of Vigilant Compliance Services and performs his function under the terms of an agreement between Full Circle Service Company and Vigilant Compliance Services.

Our day-to-day investment operations are managed by Full Circle Advisors. Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee currently consists of Messrs. Stuart, Healey, Chua and Deery, its experienced senior investment professionals. Full Circle Advisors may hire additional investment professionals, based upon its needs. See “Investment Advisory Agreement.”

Competition

We compete for investments with other business development companies and investment funds (including private equity funds, mezzanine funds and small business investment companies), as well as traditional financial services companies such as commercial banks and other sources of funding. Additionally, because competition for investment opportunities generally has increased among alternative investment vehicles, such as hedge funds, those entities have begun to invest in areas they have not traditionally invested in, including making investments in smaller and lower mid-sized companies. As a result of these new entrants, competition for investment opportunities in smaller and lower mid-sized companies may intensify. Many of these entities have greater financial and managerial resources than we do. We believe we are able to compete with these entities primarily on the basis of the experience and contacts of our investment adviser, our responsive and efficient investment analysis and decision-making processes, the investment terms we offer, and our willingness to make smaller investments.

We believe that certain of our competitors will make first and second lien loans with interest rates and returns that are comparable to or lower than the rates and returns that we target. Therefore, we do not seek to compete solely on the interest rates and returns that we offer to potential portfolio companies. For additional information concerning the competitive risks we face, see “Risk Factors — Risk Relating to Our Business and Structure — We may face increasing competition for investment opportunities.”

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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

We determine the net asset value of our investment portfolio each quarter by subtracting our total liabilities from the fair value of our gross assets.

We conduct the valuation of our assets, pursuant to which our net asset value shall be determined, at all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act. Our valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:

Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange shall be valued at such price as of the closing price on the day of valuation. We may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, we determine whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined adequate, we use the quote obtained.

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 our investment adviser or Board of Directors, does not represent fair value, which we expect will represent a substantial majority of the investments in our portfolio, shall each be valued as follows: (i) each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment; (ii) preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with our senior management; (iii) independent third-party valuation firms engaged by, or on behalf of, the Board of Directors will conduct independent appraisals and review management’s preliminary valuations and make their own assessment for all material assets; (iv) the Board of Directors will discuss valuations and determine the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the investment adviser and, where appropriate, the respective third-party valuation firms.

The recommendation of fair value will generally be based on the following factors, as relevant:

the nature and realizable value of any collateral;
the portfolio company’s ability to make payments;
the portfolio company’s earnings and discounted cash flow;
the markets in which the issuer does business; and
comparisons to publicly traded securities.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a pricing source is not sufficient may include, but are not limited to, the following:

private placements and restricted securities that do not have an active trading market;
securities whose trading has been suspended or for which market quotes are no longer available;
debt securities that have recently gone into default and for which there is no current market;
securities whose prices are stale;
securities affected by significant events; and
securities that the investment adviser believes were priced incorrectly.

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our financial statements will express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our financial statements.

Determinations in Connection with Offerings

Absent the approval by a majority of our common stockholders to allow us to issue common stock at a price below net asset value (which approval we currently have until the earlier of December 21, 2012 or our 2012 Annual Stockholders Meeting), our Board of Directors or a committee thereof will be required to make the determination that we are not selling shares of our common stock at a price below the then current net asset value of our common stock at the time of any offering of our shares. Our Board of Directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making such determination:

the net asset value of our common stock disclosed in the most recent periodic report that we filed with the SEC;
our management’s assessment of whether any material change in the net asset value of our common stock has occurred (including through the realization of gains on the sale of our portfolio securities) during the period beginning on the date of the most recently disclosed net asset value of our common stock and ending two days prior to the date of the sale of our common stock; and
the magnitude of the difference between (i) the net asset value of our common stock disclosed in the most recent periodic report that we filed with the SEC and our management’s assessment of any material change in the net asset value of our common stock since the date of the most recently disclosed net asset value of our common stock, and (ii) the offering price of the shares of our common stock in the proposed offering.

Importantly, this determination will not require that we calculate the net asset value of our common stock in connection with each offering of shares of our common stock, but instead it will involve the determination by our Board of Directors or a committee thereof that we are not selling shares of our common stock at a price below the then current net asset value of our common stock at the time at which the sale is made.

Moreover, to the extent that there is even a remote possibility that we may (i) issue shares of our common stock at a price below the then current net asset value of our common stock at the time at which the sale is made or (ii) trigger the undertaking (which we provide in certain registration statements we file with the SEC) to suspend the offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus if the net asset value of our common stock fluctuates by certain amounts in certain circumstances until the prospectus is amended, our Board of Directors will elect, in the case of clause (i) above, either to postpone the offering until such time that there is no longer the possibility of the occurrence of such event or to undertake to determine the net asset value of our common stock within two days prior to any such sale to ensure that such sale will not be below our then current net asset value, and, in the case of clause (ii) above, to comply with such undertaking or to undertake to determine the net asset value of our common stock to ensure that such undertaking has not been triggered.

These processes and procedures are part of our compliance policies and procedures. Records will be made contemporaneously with all determinations described in this section and these records will be maintained with other records that we are required to maintain under the 1940 Act.

Director Independence

In accordance with rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, our Board of Directors annually determines each director’s independence. We do not consider a director independent unless the Board of Directors has determined that he or she has no material relationship with us. We monitor the relationships of our directors and officers through a questionnaire each director completes no less frequently than annually and updates periodically as information provided in the most recent questionnaire changes.

In order to evaluate the materiality of any such relationship, the Board of Directors uses the definition of director independence set forth in the rules promulgated by the NASDAQ Stock Market. Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that a director of a business development company (“BDC”), shall be considered to be independent if he or she is not an “interested person” of Full Circle, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.

The Board of Directors has determined that each of the directors is independent and has no relationship with us, except as a director and stockholder, with the exception of John E. Stuart, as a result of his position as our Chief Executive Officer, Manager of Full Circle Advisors, our investment adviser, and Managing Member of Full Circle Service Company, our administrator.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors monitors and performs an oversight role with respect to the business and affairs of Full Circle, including with respect to investment practices and performance, compliance with regulatory requirements and the services, expenses and performance of service providers to Full Circle. Among other things, our Board of Directors approves the appointment of our investment adviser and officers, reviews and monitors the services and activities performed by our investment adviser and executive officers and approves the engagement, and reviews the performance of, our independent public accounting firm.

Under Full Circle’s bylaws, our Board of Directors may designate a chairman to preside over the meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of the stockholders and to perform such other duties as may be assigned to him by the board. We do not have a fixed policy as to whether the chairman of the board should be an independent director and believe that we should maintain the flexibility to select the chairman and reorganize the leadership structure, from time to time, based on the criteria that is in the best interests of Full Circle Capital and its stockholders at such times.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Presently, Mr. Stuart serves as the chairman of our Board of Directors. Mr. Stuart is an “interested person” of Full Circle as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act because he is on the investment committee of our investment adviser and is the Manager and Managing Member of our investment adviser and administrator, respectively. We believe that Mr. Stuart’s history with Full Circle’s predecessor funds, familiarity with Full Circle’s investment platform, and extensive knowledge of the financial services industry and the investment valuation process in particular qualify him to serve as the chairman of our Board of Directors. We believe that Full Circle is best served through this existing leadership structure, as Mr. Stuart’s relationship with Full Circle’s investment adviser provides an effective bridge and encourages an open dialogue between management and the Board of Directors, ensuring that both groups act with a common purpose.

Our Board of Directors does not currently have a designated lead independent director. We are aware of the potential conflicts that may arise when a non-independent director is chairman of the board, but believe these potential conflicts are offset by our strong corporate governance policies. Our corporate governance policies include regular meetings of the independent directors in executive session without the presence of interested directors and management, the establishment of audit and nominating and corporate governance committees comprised solely of independent directors and the appointment of a Chief Compliance Officer, with whom the independent directors meet regularly without the presence of interested directors and other members of management, for administering our compliance policies and procedures.

We recognize that different board leadership structures are appropriate for companies in different situations. We intend to re-examine our corporate governance policies on an ongoing basis to ensure that they continue to meet Full Circle’s needs.

Board’s Role In Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors performs its risk oversight function primarily through (1) its two standing committees, which report to the entire Board of Directors and are comprised solely of independent directors, and (2) active monitoring of our chief compliance officer and our compliance policies and procedures.

As described below in more detail under “Committees of the Board of Directors,” the audit committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities. The audit committee’s risk oversight responsibilities include overseeing Full Circle’s accounting and financial reporting processes, Full Circle’s systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting, Full Circle’s valuation process, and audits of Full Circle’s financial statements. The nominating and corporate governance committee’s risk oversight responsibilities include selecting, researching and nominating directors for election by our stockholders, developing and recommending to the board a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the board and our management.

Our Board of Directors also performs its risk oversight responsibilities with the assistance of the chief compliance officer. The Board of Directors will annually review a written report from the chief compliance officer discussing the adequacy and effectiveness of the compliance policies and procedures of Full Circle and its service providers. The chief compliance officer’s annual report will address, at a minimum, (a) the operation of the compliance policies and procedures of Full Circle and its service providers since the last report; (b) any material changes to such policies and procedures since the last report; (c) any recommendations for material changes to such policies and procedures as a result of the chief compliance officer’s annual review; and (d) any compliance matter that has occurred since the date of the last report about which the Board of Directors would reasonably need to know to oversee our compliance activities and risks. In addition, the chief compliance officer will meet separately in executive session with the independent directors at least once each year.

We believe that our board’s role in risk oversight is effective, and appropriate given the extensive regulation to which we are already subject as a business development company. As a business development company, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements that control the levels of risk in our business and operations. For example, our ability to incur indebtedness is limited such that our asset coverage must equal at least 200% immediately after each time we incur indebtedness, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our gross assets in “qualifying assets” and we are not generally permitted to invest in any portfolio company in which one of our affiliates currently has an investment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We recognize that different board roles in risk oversight are appropriate for companies in different situations. We re-examine the manner in which the board administers its oversight function on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to meet Full Circle’s needs.

Committees of the Board of Directors

An audit committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee have been established by our Board of Directors. During the year ended June 30, 2011, our Board of Directors held ten Board meetings, ten Audit Committee meetings, and two Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meetings. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of our Board of Directors and of the respective committees on which they served. We require each director to make a diligent effort to attend all board and committee meetings as well as each annual meeting of our stockholders.

Audit Committee

The audit committee operates pursuant to a charter, available on our website at http://www.fccapital.com , which sets forth the responsibilities of the audit committee. The audit committee’s responsibilities include establishing guidelines and making recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding the valuation of our loans and investments, selecting the independent registered public accounting firm for Full Circle, reviewing with such independent registered public accounting firm the planning, scope and results of their audit of Full Circle’s financial statements, pre-approving the fees for services performed, reviewing with the independent registered public accounting firm the adequacy of internal control systems, reviewing Full Circle’s annual financial statements and periodic filings and receiving Full Circle’s audit reports and financial statements. The audit committee is currently composed of Messrs. Biderman, Cohen and Ortwein, all of whom are considered independent under the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market and are not “interested persons” of Full Circle as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. Mr. Biderman serves as chairman of the audit committee. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Biderman is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K, as promulgated under the Exchange Act. Mr. Biderman meets the current independence and experience requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Biderman’s simultaneous service on the audit committees of four public companies will not impair his ability to effectively serve as the chairman of Full Circle’s Audit Committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The nominating and corporate governance committee operates pursuant to a charter, available on our website at http://www.fccapital.com . The members of the nominating and corporate governance committee are Messrs. Biderman, Cohen and Ortwein, all of whom are considered independent under the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market and are not “interested persons” of Full Circle as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. Mr. Cohen serves as chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for selecting, researching and nominating directors for election by our stockholders, selecting nominees to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, developing and recommending to the Board of Directors a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the Board of Directors and our management. The nominating and corporate governance committee currently does not consider nominees recommended by our stockholders.

The nominating and corporate governance committee seeks candidates who possess the background, skills and expertise to make a significant contribution to the Board of Directors, Full Circle and its stockholders. In considering possible candidates for election as a director, the nominating and corporate governance committee takes into account, in addition to such other factors as it deems relevant, the desirability of selecting directors who:

are of high character and integrity;
are accomplished in their respective fields, with superior credentials and recognition;
have relevant expertise and experience upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management;

79


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

have sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of Full Circle;
are able to work with the other members of the Board of Directors and contribute to the success of Full Circle;
can represent the long-term interests of Full Circle’s stockholders as a whole; and
are selected such that the Board of Directors represents a range of backgrounds and experience.

Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the members of the nominating and corporate governance committee may also consider such other factors as they may deem are in the best interests of Full Circle and its stockholders. The nominating and corporate governance committee also believes it appropriate for certain key members of our management to participate as members of the Board of Directors.

The members of the nominating and corporate governance committee identify nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board of Directors with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board of Directors with that of obtaining a new perspective. If any member of the Board of Directors does not wish to continue in service or if the Board of Directors decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the independent members of the Board of Directors identify the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. The entire Board of Directors is polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the aforementioned criteria. Research may also be performed to identify qualified individuals. To date, neither the Board of Directors nor the nominating and corporate governance committee has engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees although each reserves the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary.

The nominating and corporate governance committee has not adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees. In determining whether to recommend a director nominee, the nominating and corporate governance committee considers and discusses diversity, among other factors, with a view toward the needs of the Board of Directors as a whole. The nominating and corporate governance committee generally conceptualizes diversity expansively to include, without limitation, concepts such as race, gender, national origin, differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, skill and other qualities that contribute to the Board of Directors, when identifying and recommending director nominees. The nominating and corporate governance committee believes that the inclusion of diversity as one of many factors considered in selecting director nominees is consistent with the nominating and corporate governance committee’s goal of creating a Board of Directors that best serves the needs of Full Circle Capital and the interests of its shareholders.

Compensation Committee

We do not have a compensation committee because our executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from us.

Communication with the Board of Directors

Stockholders with questions about the Company are encouraged to contact the Company’s Investor Relations Department. However, if stockholders believe that their questions have not been addressed, they may communicate with the Company’s Board of Directors by sending their communications to Full Circle Capital Corporation, John E. Stuart, Chief Executive Officer, 800 Westchester Ave., Rye Brook, New York 10573. All stockholder communications received in this manner will be delivered to one or more members of the Board of Directors, as appropriate.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a code of ethics which applies to, among others, its senior officers, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as well as every officer, director and employee of the Company. The Company’s code can be accessed via its website at http://www.fccapital.com . The Company intends to disclose amendments to or waivers from a required provision of the code on Form 8-K.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Management Services

Full Circle Advisors serves as our investment adviser. Full Circle Advisors is an investment adviser that has registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act prior to consummation of this offering. Subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Directors, our investment adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory and management services to, Full Circle Capital. Under the terms of our Investment Advisory Agreement, Full Circle Advisors:

determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;
identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments we make (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies);
closes and monitors the investments we make; and
provides us with other investment advisory, research and related services as we may from time to time require.

Full Circle Advisors’ 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.

Management Fee

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay Full Circle Advisors a fee for investment advisory and management services 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. 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 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. Our investment adviser waived the portion of the base management fee that exceeded 1.50% of Full Circle Capital’s gross assets from the time we commenced operations to August 31, 2011, when such waiver expired.

The incentive fee has two parts. The first part of the 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, and any interest expense 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 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 Full Circle Advisors 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%;

84


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 Full Circle Advisors (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all pre-incentive fee investment income thereafter is allocated to Full Circle Advisors).

The following is a graphical representation of the calculation of the income-related portion of the incentive fee:

Quarterly Incentive Fee Based on Net Investment Income
  
Pre-incentive fee net investment income
  
(expressed as a percentage of the value of net assets)

[GRAPHIC MISSING]

Percentage of pre-incentive fee net investment income allocated to Full Circle Advisors

These calculations are appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. You should be aware that a rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to our debt investments. Accordingly, an increase in interest rates would make it easier for us to meet or exceed the incentive fee hurdle rate and may result in a substantial increase of the amount of incentive fees payable to our investment adviser with respect to pre-incentive fee net investment income.

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), 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Examples of Quarterly Incentive Fee Calculation

Example 1: Income Related Portion of Incentive Fee*:

Alternative 1:

Assumptions

Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 1.25%
Hurdle rate (1) = 1.75%
Management fee (2) = 0.4375%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, transfer agent, etc.) (3) = 0.20%
Pre-incentive fee net investment income
    (investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 0.6125%
Pre-incentive net investment income does not exceed hurdle rate, therefore there is no incentive fee.

Alternative 2:

Assumptions

Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 2.70%
Hurdle rate (1) = 1.75%
Management fee (2) =0.4375%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, transfer agent, etc.) (3) = 0.20%
Pre-incentive fee net investment income
    (investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 2.0625%
Incentive fee = 100% × pre-incentive fee net investment income, subject to the “catch-up” (4)
                    = 100% × (2.0625% – 1.75%)
                    = 0.3125%

Alternative 3:

Assumptions

Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 3.00%
Hurdle rate (1) = 1.75%
Management fee (2) = 0.4375%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, transfer agent, etc.) (3) = 0.20%
Pre-incentive fee net investment income
    (investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 2.3625%
Incentive fee = 20% × pre-incentive fee net investment income, subject to “catch-up” (4)
Incentive fee = 100% × “catch-up” + (20% × (pre-incentive fee net investment income – 2.1875%))
  
Catch-up = 2.1875% – 1.75%
                    = 0.4375%
  
Incentive fee = (100% × 0.4375%) + (20% × (2.3625% – 2.1875%))
                    = 0.4375% + (20% × 0. 175%)
                    = 0.4375% + 0.035%
                    = 0.4725%

* The hypothetical amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income shown is based on a percentage of total net assets.
(1) Represents 7% annualized hurdle rate.
(2) Represents 1.75% annualized management fee.
(3) Excludes organizational and offering expenses.
(4) The “catch-up” provision is intended to provide the investment adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of Full Circle Capital’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when its net investment income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Example 2: Capital Gains Portion of Incentive Fee:

Alternative 1:

Assumptions

Year 1: $20 million investment made in Company A (“Investment A”), and $30 million investment made in Company B (“Investment B”)
Year 2: Investment A sold for $50 million and fair market value (“FMV”) of Investment B determined to be $32 million
Year 3: FMV of Investment B determined to be $25 million
Year 4: Investment B sold for $31 million

The capital gains portion of the incentive fee would be:

Year 1: None
Year 2: $6 million capital gains incentive fee ($30 million realized capital gains on sale of Investment A multiplied by 20%)
Year 3: None ($5 million (20% multiplied by ($30 million cumulative capital gains less $5 million cumulative capital depreciation)) less $6 million (previous capital gains fee paid in Year 2))
Year 4: $200,000 capital gains incentive fee ($6.2 million ($31 million cumulative realized capital gains multiplied by 20%) less $6 million (capital gains fee taken in Year 2))

Alternative 2:

Assumptions

Year 1: $20 million investment made in Company A (“Investment A”), $30 million investment made in Company B (“Investment B”) and $25 million investment made in Company C (“Investment C”)
Year 2: Investment A sold for $50 million, FMV of Investment B determined to be $25 million and FMV of Investment C determined to be $25 million
Year 3: FMV of Investment B determined to be $24 million and Investment C sold for $30 million
Year 4: FMV of Investment B determined to be $35 million
Year 5: Investment B sold for $20 million

The capital gains incentive fee, if any, would be:

Year 1: None
Year 2: $5 million capital gains incentive fee (20% multiplied by $25 million ($30 million realized capital gains on Investment A less unrealized capital depreciation on Investment B))
Year 3: $1.4 million capital gains incentive fee (1) ($6.4 million (20% multiplied by $32 million ($35 million cumulative realized capital gains less $3 million unrealized capital depreciation)) less $5 million capital gains fee received in Year 2)
Year 4: $0.6 million capital gains incentive fee ($7.0 million (20% multiplied by $35 million ($35 million cumulative realized capital gains)) less $6.4 million cumulative capital gains fee paid in Year 2 and Year 3)
Year 5: None ($5 million (20% multiplied by $25 million (cumulative realized capital gains of $35 million less realized capital losses of $10 million)) less $7.0 million cumulative capital gains fee paid in Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4)

(1) As illustrated in Year 3 of Alternative 1 above, if the Company were to be wound up on a date other than December 31 of any year, the Company may have paid aggregate capital gain incentive fees that are more than the amount of such fees that would be payable if the Company had been wound up on December 31 of such year.

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.

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.

Our Chief Financial Officer, 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. In exchange for providing such services, Full Circle Service Company pays Vastardis Fund Services an asset-based fee with a $200,000 annual minimum. This asset-based fee varies depending upon our gross assets as follows:

 
Gross Assets   Fee
first first $150 million of gross assets     20 basis points (0.20 %)  
next next $150 million of gross assets     15 basis points (0.15 %)  
next 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 Full Circle Service Company for the fees charged by Vastardis Fund Services for the service of Mr. Vastardis as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary at an annual rate of $250,000. Vastardis Fund Services agreed to cap its first year fees at $200,000 for administrative services to us, and at $100,000 for the service of Mr. Vastardis as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary. These fee caps expired on August 31, 2011.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to us and to an investment in shares of our common stock. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of the income tax considerations applicable to such an investment. For example, we have not described tax consequences that may be relevant to certain types of holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including stockholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, a trader in securities that elects to use a market-to-market method of accounting for its securities holdings, pension plans and trusts, and financial institutions. This summary assumes that investors hold our shares of common stock as capital assets (within the meaning of the Code). The discussion is based upon the Code, Treasury regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations, each as of the date of this prospectus supplement and all of which are subject to change, possibly retroactively, which could affect the continuing validity of this discussion. We have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the IRS regarding this offering. This summary does not discuss any aspects of U.S. estate or gift tax or foreign, state or local tax. It does not discuss the special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws that could result if we invested in tax-exempt securities or certain other investment assets.

A “U.S. stockholder” generally is a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock who is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

A citizen or individual resident of the U.S.;
A corporation or other entity treated as a corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
A trust if (a) a court within the U.S. is asked to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantive decisions of the trust, or (b) such trust validly elects to be treated as a U.S. person for federal income tax purposes; or
An estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

A “Non-U.S. stockholder” generally is a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock that is not a U.S. Stockholder.

If a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A prospective stockholder that is a partner of a partnership holding shares of our common stock should consult his, her or its tax advisers with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock.

Tax matters are very complicated and the tax consequences to an investor of an investment in our shares will depend on the facts of his, her or its particular situation. We encourage investors to consult their own tax advisers regarding the specific consequences of such an investment, including tax reporting requirements, the applicability of federal, state, local and foreign tax laws, eligibility for the benefits of any applicable tax treaty and the effect of any possible changes in the tax laws.

Election to be Taxed as a RIC

As a business development company, we have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, beginning with our 2010 taxable year. As a RIC, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders as dividends. To continue to qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements (as described below). In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment we must distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our ordinary income plus the excess of our realized net short-term capital gains over our realized net long-term capital losses (the “Annual Distribution Requirement”).

92


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company

If we:

qualify as a RIC; and
satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement,

then we will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of our income we distribute (or are deemed to distribute) to stockholders. We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular corporate rates on any income or capital gains not distributed (or deemed distributed) to our stockholders.

We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless we distribute in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the 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 “Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement”). We generally will endeavor in each taxable year to make sufficient distributions to our stockholders to avoid any U.S. federal excise tax on our earnings.

In order to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must, among other things:

continue to qualify as a business development company under the 1940 Act at all times during each taxable year;
derive in each taxable year at least 90% of our gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to loans of certain securities, gains from the sale of stock or other securities, net income from certain “qualified publicly traded partnerships,” or other income derived with respect to our business of investing in such stock or securities (the “90% Income Test”); and
diversify our holdings so that at the end of each quarter of the taxable year:
at least 50% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government securities, securities of other RICs, and other securities if such other securities of any one issuer do not represent more than 5% of the value of our assets or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer; and
no more than 25% of the value of our assets is invested in the securities, other than U.S. government securities or securities of other RICs, of one issuer, of two or more issuers that are controlled, as determined under applicable Code rules, by us and that are engaged in the same or similar or related trades or businesses or of certain “qualified publicly traded partnerships” (the “Diversification Tests”).

We may be required to recognize taxable income in circumstances in which we do not receive cash. For example, if we hold debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments with PIK interest or, in certain cases, increasing interest rates or issued with warrants), we must include in income each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation (assuming we believe such amounts are ultimately collectable), regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by us in the same taxable year. We may also have to include in income other amounts that we have not yet received in cash (assuming we believe such amounts are ultimately collectable), such as PIK interest and deferred loan origination fees that are paid after origination of the loan or are paid in non-cash compensation such as warrants or stock. Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in our investment company taxable income for the year of accrual, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, even though we will not have received any corresponding cash amount. In addition, we may be required to accrue for federal income tax purposes amounts attributable to our investment in CLOs that may differ from the distributions received in respect of such investments. Although we do not presently expect to do so, we are authorized to borrow funds, to sell assets and to make taxable distributions of our stock and debt securities in order to satisfy distribution requirements. Our ability to dispose of assets to meet our distribution requirements may be limited by (1) the illiquid nature of our portfolio and/or (2) other requirements relating to our status as a RIC, including the Diversification Tests. If we dispose of assets in

93


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

order to meet the Annual Distribution Requirement or the Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement, we may make such dispositions at times that, from an investment standpoint, are not advantageous. If we are unable to obtain cash from other sources to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, we may fail to qualify as a RIC and become subject to tax as an ordinary corporation.

Under the 1940 Act, we are not permitted to make distributions to our stockholders while our debt obligations and other senior securities are outstanding unless certain “asset coverage” tests are met. If we are prohibited to make distributions, we may fail to qualify as a RIC and become subject to tax as an ordinary corporation.

We have purchased and may in the future purchase residual or subordinated interests in CLOs that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as shares in a PFIC. We may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our allocable share of a portion of any “excess distribution” received on, or any gain from the disposition of, such shares even if our allocable share of such income is distributed as a taxable dividend to the PFIC’s stockholders. Additional charges in the nature of interest generally will be imposed on us in respect of deferred taxes arising from any such excess distribution or gain. If we elect to treat a PFIC as a QEF under the Code, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, we will be required to include in income each year our proportionate share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of the QEF, even if such income is not distributed by the QEF. Alternatively, we may elect mark-to-market treatment for a PFIC; in this case, we will recognize as ordinary income our allocable share of any increase in the value of such shares, and as ordinary loss our allocable share of any decrease in such value to the extent that any such decrease does not exceed prior increases included in our income. Under either election, we may be required to recognize in a year income in excess of distributions from PFICs and proceeds from dispositions of PFIC shares during that year, and such income will nevertheless be subject to the Annual Distribution Requirement and will be taken into account for purposes of the 4% excise tax.

Under certain circumstances, a CLO may be treated as a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a CLO is treated as a CFC, and we are considered to own 10% or more of total voting power in such CLO, we would be required to include in income each year any “subpart F income” generated by such CLO, which would generally include its net investment income, regardless of whether we received any distributions with respect to such income.

Although the Code generally provides that income inclusions from a QEF and subpart F income will be “good income” for purposes of the 90% Income Test to the extent it is distributed to a RIC in the year it is included in the RIC’s income, the Code does not specifically provide whether income inclusions from a QEF and subpart F income for which no distribution is received during the RIC’s taxable year would be “good income” for the 90% Income Test. The IRS has issued a series of private rulings in which it has concluded that all income inclusions from a QEF and subpart F income included in a RIC’s income would constitute “good income” for purposes of the 90% Income Test. Such rulings are not binding on the IRS except with respect to the taxpayer to whom such rulings were issued. Accordingly, although we believe that the income inclusions from a QEF and subpart F income of a CLO that we are required to include in our taxable income would be “good income” for purposes of the 90% Income Test, no guaranty can be made that the IRS would not assert that such income would not be “good income” for purposes of the 90% Income Test. If such income were not considered “good income” for purposes of the 90% Income Test, we may fail to qualify as a RIC. The remainder of this discussion assumes that we qualify as a RIC and have satisfied the Annual Distribution Requirement.

Taxation of U.S. Stockholders

Distributions by us generally are taxable to U.S. stockholders as ordinary income or capital gains. Distributions of our “investment company taxable income” (which is, generally, our net ordinary income plus realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses) will be taxable as ordinary income to U.S. stockholders to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional common stock. To the extent such distributions paid by us in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013 to stockholders taxed at individual rates are attributable to dividends from U.S. corporations and certain qualified foreign corporations, such distributions (“Qualifying Dividends”) may be eligible for a maximum tax rate of 15%. In this regard, it is anticipated that distributions paid by us

94


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

will generally not be attributable to dividends and, therefore, generally will not qualify for the 15% maximum rate applicable to Qualifying Dividends. Distributions of our net capital gains (which are generally our realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses) made in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013 and properly reported by us as “capital gain dividends” will be taxable to a U.S. stockholder as long-term capital gains that are currently taxable at a maximum rate of 15% in the case of stockholders taxed at individual rates, regardless of the U.S. stockholder’s holding period for his, her or its common stock and regardless of whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional common stock. Distributions in excess of our earnings and profits first will reduce a U.S. stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in such stockholder’s common stock and, after the adjusted basis is reduced to zero, will constitute capital gains to such U.S. stockholder.

We may retain some or all of our realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses, but designate the retained net capital gain as a “deemed distribution.” In that case, among other consequences, we will pay tax on the retained amount, each U.S. stockholder will be required to include his, her or its share of the deemed distribution in income as if it had been actually distributed to the U.S. stockholder, and the U.S. stockholder will be entitled to claim a credit equal to his, her or its allocable share of the tax paid thereon by us. Because we expect to pay tax on any retained capital gains at our regular corporate tax rate, and because that rate is in excess of the maximum rate currently payable by U.S. stockholders taxed at individual rates on long-term capital gains, the amount of tax that individual U.S. stockholders will be treated as having paid will exceed the tax they owe on the capital gain distribution and such excess generally may be refunded or claimed as a credit against the U.S. stockholder’s other U.S. federal income tax obligations. The amount of the deemed distribution net of such tax will be added to the U.S. stockholder’s cost basis for his, her or its common stock. In order to utilize the deemed distribution approach, we must provide written notice to our stockholders prior to the expiration of 60 days after the close of the relevant taxable year. We cannot treat any of our investment company taxable income as a “deemed distribution.”

For purposes of determining (1) whether the Annual Distribution Requirement is satisfied for any year and (2) the amount of capital gain dividends paid for that year, we may, under certain circumstances, elect to treat a dividend that is paid during the following taxable year as if it had been paid during the taxable year in question. If we make such an election, the U.S. stockholder will still be treated as receiving the dividend in the taxable year in which the distribution is made. However, any dividend declared by us in October, November or December of any calendar year, payable to stockholders of record on a specified date in such a month and actually paid during January of the following year, will be treated as if it had been received by our U.S. stockholders on December 31 of the year in which the dividend was declared.

If an investor purchases shares of our common stock shortly before the record date of a distribution, the price of the shares will include the value of the distribution and the investor will be subject to tax on the distribution even though economically it may represent a return of his, her or its investment.

A U.S. stockholder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss if the U.S. stockholder sells or otherwise disposes of his, her or its shares of our common stock. The amount of gain or loss will be measured by the difference between such U.S. stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock sold and the amount of the proceeds received in exchange. Any gain arising from such sale or disposition generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. stockholder has held his, her or its shares for more than one year. Otherwise, it will be classified as short-term capital gain or loss. However, any capital loss arising from the sale or disposition of shares of our common stock held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends received, or undistributed capital gain deemed received, with respect to such shares. In addition, all or a portion of any loss recognized upon a disposition of shares of our common stock may be disallowed if other shares of our common stock are purchased (whether through reinvestment of distributions or otherwise) within 30 days before or after the disposition.

In general, U.S. stockholders taxed at individual rates currently are subject to a maximum U.S. federal income tax rate of 15% on their net capital gain (i.e., the excess of realized net long-term capital gains over realized net short-term capital losses) recognized in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013, including

95


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

any long-term capital gain derived from an investment in our shares. Such rate is lower than the maximum rate on ordinary income currently payable by such U.S. stockholders. The maximum rate on long-term capital gains for U.S. stockholders taxed at individual rates is scheduled to return to 20% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2012. In addition, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, individuals with income in excess of $200,000 ($250,000 in the case of married individuals filing jointly) and certain estates and trusts are subject to an additional 3.8% tax on their “net investment income,” which generally includes net income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, and rents, and net capital gains (other than certain amounts earned from trades or businesses). Corporate U.S. stockholders currently are subject to U.S. federal income tax on net capital gain at the maximum 35% rate also applied to ordinary income. Non-corporate U.S. stockholders with net capital losses for a year (i.e., capital losses in excess of capital gains) generally may deduct up to $3,000 of such losses against their ordinary income each year. Any net capital losses of a non-corporate U.S. stockholder in excess of $3,000 generally may be carried forward and used in subsequent years as provided in the Code. Corporate U.S. stockholders generally may not deduct any net capital losses for a year, but may carry back such losses for three years or carry forward such losses for five years.

We will send to each of our U.S. stockholders, as promptly as possible after the end of each calendar year, a notice reporting the amounts includible in such U.S. stockholder’s taxable income for such year as ordinary income and as long-term capital gain. In addition, the federal tax status of each year’s distributions generally will be reported to the IRS (including the amount of dividends, if any, eligible for the 15% maximum rate). Dividends paid by us generally will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction or the preferential tax rate applicable to Qualifying Dividends because our income generally will not consist of dividends. Distributions may also be subject to additional state, local and foreign taxes depending on a U.S. stockholder’s particular situation.

We may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax (“backup withholding”) from all distributions to any U.S. stockholder (other than a corporation (for payments before January 1, 2012), a financial institution, or a stockholder that otherwise qualifies for an exemption) (1) who fails to furnish us with a correct taxpayer identification number or a certificate that such stockholder is exempt from backup withholding or (2) with respect to whom the IRS notifies us that such stockholder has failed to properly report certain interest and dividend income to the IRS and to respond to notices to that effect. An individual’s taxpayer identification number is his or her social security number. Any amount withheld under backup withholding is allowed as a credit against the U.S. stockholder’s federal income tax liability, provided that proper information is provided to the IRS.

U.S. stockholders that hold their common stock through foreign accounts or intermediaries will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% on dividends paid after December 31, 2013, and proceeds on the sale of our common stock received after December 31, 2014 if certain disclosure requirements related to U.S. accounts are not satisfied.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Stockholders

Whether an investment in the shares is appropriate for a Non-U.S. stockholder will depend upon that person’s particular circumstances. An investment in the shares by a Non-U.S. stockholder may have adverse tax consequences. Non-U.S. stockholders should consult their tax advisers before investing in our common stock.

Distributions of our “investment company taxable income” to Non-U.S. stockholders (including interest income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized long-term capital losses, which generally would be free of withholding if paid to Non-U.S. stockholders directly) will be subject to withholding of federal tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate provided by an applicable treaty) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits unless an applicable exception applies. If the distributions are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. stockholder, we will not be required to withhold federal tax if the Non-U.S. stockholder complies with applicable certification and disclosure requirements, although the distributions will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. persons. (Special certification requirements apply to a Non-U.S. stockholder that is a foreign partnership or a foreign trust, and such entities are urged to consult their own tax advisers.)

96


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

However, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2012, no withholding was required with respect to certain distributions if (i) the distributions were properly reported as “interest-related dividends” or “short-term capital gain dividends,” (ii) the distributions were derived from sources specified in the Code for such dividends and (iii) certain other requirements were satisfied. Currently, we do not anticipate that any significant amount of our distributions would be reported as eligible for this exemption from withholding. No assurance can be provided that this exemption will be extended for years beginning after December 31, 2012; or if extended, whether any of our distributions will be designated as eligible for this exemption. Actual or deemed distributions of our net capital gains to a Non-U.S. stockholder, and gains realized by a Non-U.S. stockholder upon the sale of our common stock, will not be subject to federal withholding tax and generally will not be subject to federal income tax unless the distributions or gains, as the case may be, are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. stockholder.

The tax consequences to Non-U.S. stockholders entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty or that are individuals that are present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during a taxable year may be different from those described herein. Non-U.S. stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisers with respect to the procedure for claiming the benefit of a lower treaty rate and the applicability of foreign taxes.

If we distribute our net capital gains in the form of deemed rather than actual distributions, a Non-U.S. stockholder will be entitled to a U.S. federal income tax credit or tax refund equal to the stockholder’s allocable share of the tax we pay on the capital gains deemed to have been distributed. In order to obtain the refund, the Non-U.S. stockholder must obtain a U.S. taxpayer identification number and file a U.S. federal income tax return even if the Non-U.S. stockholder would not otherwise be required to obtain a U.S. taxpayer identification number or file a U.S. federal income tax return. For a corporate Non-U.S. stockholder, distributions (both actual and deemed), and gains realized upon the sale of our common stock that are effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or at a lower rate if provided for by an applicable treaty). Accordingly, investment in the shares may not be appropriate for a Non-U.S. stockholder.

A Non-U.S. stockholder who is a non-resident alien individual, and who is otherwise subject to withholding of federal tax, may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on dividends unless the Non-U.S. stockholder provides us or the dividend paying agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN (or an acceptable substitute form) or otherwise meets documentary evidence requirements for establishing that it is a Non-U.S. stockholder or otherwise establishes an exemption from backup withholding.

Recently enacted legislation generally imposes a 30% withholding tax on payments of certain types of income to foreign financial institutions that fail to enter into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury to report certain required information with respect to accounts held by U.S. persons (or held by foreign entities that have U.S. persons as substantial owners). The types of income subject to the tax include U.S. source interest and dividends paid after December 31, 2013 and the gross proceeds from the sale of any property that could produce U.S.-source interest or dividends received after December 31, 2014. The information required to be reported includes the identity and taxpayer identification number of each account holder that is a U.S. person and transaction activity within the holder’s account. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, this legislation also imposes a 30% withholding on payments to foreign entities that are not financial institutions unless the foreign entity certifies that it does not have a greater than 10% U.S. owner or provides the withholding agent with identifying information on each greater than 10% U.S. owner. When these provisions become effective, depending on the status of a Non-U.S. Holder and the status of the intermediaries through which they hold their shares, Non-U.S. Holders could be subject to this 30% withholding tax with respect to distributions on their shares and proceeds from the sale of their shares. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.

Non-U.S. persons should consult their own tax advisers with respect to the U.S. federal income tax and withholding tax, and state, local and foreign tax consequences of an investment in the shares.

Failure to Qualify as a Regulated Investment Company

If we were unable to qualify for treatment as a RIC, we would be subject to tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates, regardless of whether we make any distributions to our stockholders. Distributions would not be required, and any distributions made in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013 would be taxable to our stockholders as ordinary dividend income that, subject to certain limitations, may be eligible for the 15% maximum rate to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributees would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain.

SALES OF COMMON STOCK BELOW NET ASSET VALUE

At our 2011 Annual Stockholders Meeting, subject to certain determinations required to be made by our board of directors, our stockholders approved our ability to sell or otherwise issue shares of our common stock, not exceeding 25% of our then outstanding common stock, at a price below the then current net asset value per share during a period beginning on December 21, 2011 and expiring on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of the 2011 Annual Stockholders Meeting and the date of our 2012 Annual Stockholders Meeting, which is expected to be held in December 2012 (the “Stockholder Approval”).

In order to sell shares of common stock pursuant to this authorization, no further authorization from our stockholders will need to be solicited, but a majority of our directors who have no financial interest in the sale and a majority of our independent directors will have to (a) find that the sale is in our best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders and (b) in consultation with any underwriter or underwriters of the offering, make a good faith determination as of a time either immediately prior to the first solicitation by us or on our behalf of firm commitments to purchase such shares of common stock, or immediately prior to the issuance of such common stock, that the price at which such shares of common stock are to be sold is not less than a price which closely approximates the market value of those shares of common stock, less any distributing commission or discount.

Any offering of common stock below its net asset value per share will be designed to raise capital for investment in accordance with our investment objective.

In making a determination that an offering of common stock below its net asset value per share is in our and our stockholders’ best interests, our board of directors will consider a variety of factors including:

the effect that an offering below net asset value per share would have on our stockholders, including the potential dilution to the net asset value per share of our common stock our stockholders would experience as a result of the offering;
the amount per share by which the offering price per share and the net proceeds per share are less than our most recently determined net asset value per share;
the relationship of recent market prices of par common stock to net asset value per share and the potential impact of the offering on the market price per share of our common stock;
whether the estimated offering price would closely approximate the market value of shares of our common stock;
the potential market impact of being able to raise capital during the current financial market difficulties;
the nature of any new investors anticipated to acquire shares of our common stock in the offering;
the anticipated rate of return on and quality, type and availability of investments; and
the leverage available to us.

Our board of directors will also consider the fact that sales of shares of common stock at a discount will benefit our investment adviser as the investment adviser will earn additional investment management fees on the proceeds of such offerings, as it would from the offering of any other of our securities or from the offering of common stock at a premium to net asset value per share.

We will not sell shares of our common stock under this prospectus or an accompanying prospectus supplement pursuant to the Stockholder Approval without first filing a new post-effective amendment to the registration statement if the cumulative dilution to our net asset value per share from offerings under the registration statement, as amended by any post-effective amendments, exceeds 15%. This would be measured separately for each offering pursuant to the registration statement, as amended by any post-effective amendments, by calculating the percentage dilution or accretion to aggregate net asset value from that offering and then summing the percentage from each offering. For example, if our most recently determined NAV per share at the time of the first offering is $9.00 and we have 6 million shares outstanding, the sale of 1.5 million shares at net proceeds to us of $4.50 per share (a 50% discount) would produce dilution of 10.0%. If we

99


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

subsequently determined that our NAV per share increased to $10.00 on the then 7.5 million shares outstanding and then made an additional offering, we could, for example, sell approximately an additional 830,000 shares at net proceeds to us of $5.00 per share, which would produce dilution of 5.0%, before we would reach the aggregate 15% limit. If we file a new post-effective amendment, the threshold would reset.

In addition, it should be noted that under the Stockholder Approval the maximum number of shares issuable below NAV per share that could result in dilution is limited to 25% of our outstanding common stock immediately prior to each offering. As a result, the maximum amount of dilution to existing stockholders under the Stockholder Approval will be limited to no more than 20% of our then current NAV per share, assuming we were to issue the maximum number of shares at no more than par value, or $0.01 per share.

Sales by us of our common stock at a discount from net asset value per share pose potential risks for our existing stockholders whether or not they participate in the offering, as well as for new investors who participate in the offering. Any sale of common stock at a price below net asset value per share would result in an immediate dilution to existing common stockholders who do not participate in such sale on at least a pro-rata basis. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Offerings Pursuant to this Prospectus — Stockholders may incur dilution if we sell shares of our common stock in one or more offerings at prices below the then current net asset value per share of our common stock or issue securities to subscribe to, convert to or purchase shares of our common stock.”

The following three headings and accompanying tables explain and provide hypothetical examples on the impact of an offering of our common stock at a price less than net asset value per share on three different types of investors:

existing stockholders who do not purchase any shares in the offering;
existing stockholders who purchase a relatively small amount of shares in the offering or a relatively large amount of shares in the offering; and
new investors who become stockholders by purchasing shares in the offering.

Impact On Existing Stockholders Who Do Not Participate in the Offering

Our current stockholders who do not participate in an offering below net asset value per share or who do not buy additional shares in the secondary market at the same or lower price as we obtain in the offering (after expenses and commissions) face the greatest potential risks. These stockholders will experience an immediate dilution in the net asset value of the shares of common stock they hold and their net asset value per share. These stockholders will also experience a disproportionately greater decrease in their participation in our earnings and assets and their voting power than the increase we will experience in our assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to such offering. These stockholders may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in net asset value per share. This decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discounts increases. Further, if current stockholders do not purchase any shares to maintain their percentage interest, regardless of whether such offering is above or below the then current net asset value, their voting power will be diluted.

The following chart illustrates the level of net asset value dilution that would be experienced by a nonparticipating stockholder in three different hypothetical offerings of different sizes and levels of discount from net asset value per share. It is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur.

The examples assume that the issuer has 30 million shares outstanding, $600 million in total assets and $150 million in total liabilities. The current net asset value and net asset value per share are thus $450 million and $15.00. The chart illustrates the dilutive effect on Stockholder A of (a) an offering of 1.5 million shares of common stock (5% of the outstanding shares) at $14.25 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 5% discount from net asset value), (b) an offering of 3 million shares of common stock (10% of the outstanding shares) at $13.50 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 10% discount from net asset value), (c) an offering of 6 million shares of common stock (20% of the outstanding shares) at $12.00 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 20% discount from net asset value) and (d) an offering of 7.5 million shares of common stock (25% of the outstanding shares) at $0.01 per share, the par

The prospectus supplement pursuant to which any discounted offering is made will include a chart based on the actual number of shares of common stock in such offering and the actual discount to the most recently determined net asset value.

Impact On Existing Stockholders Who Do Participate in the Offering

Our existing stockholders who participate in an offering below net asset value per share or who buy additional shares in the secondary market at the same or lower price as we obtain in the offering (after expenses and commissions) will experience the same types of net asset value dilution as the nonparticipating stockholders, although at a lower level, to the extent they purchase less than the same percentage of the discounted offering as their interest in shares of our common stock immediately prior to the offering. The level of net asset value dilution will decrease as the number of shares such stockholders purchase increases. Existing stockholders who buy more than such percentage will experience net asset value dilution but will, in contrast to existing stockholders who purchase less than their proportionate share of the offering, experience accretion in net asset value per share over their investment per share and will also experience a disproportionately greater increase in their participation in our earnings and assets and their voting power than our increase in assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to such offering. The level of accretion will increase as the excess number of shares such stockholder purchases increases. Even a stockholder who over-participates will, however, be subject to the risk that we may make additional discounted offerings in which such stockholder does not participate, in which case such a stockholder will experience net asset value dilution as described above in such subsequent offerings. These stockholders may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in net asset value per share. This decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discounts increases.

The following chart illustrates the level of dilution and accretion in the hypothetical 20% discount offering from the prior chart (Example 3) for a stockholder that acquires shares equal to (a) 50% of its proportionate share of the offering ( i.e. , 3,000 shares, which is 0.05% of an offering of 6 million shares) rather than its 0.10% proportionate share and (b) 150% of such percentage (i.e. 9,000 shares, which is 0.15% of an offering of 6 million shares rather than its 0.10% proportionate share). The prospectus supplement pursuant to which any discounted offering is made will include a chart for these examples based on the actual number of shares in such offering and the actual discount from the most recently determined net asset value per share. It is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur.

Impact On New Investors

Investors who are not currently stockholders and who participate in an offering of shares of our common stock below net asset value, but whose investment per share is greater than the resulting net asset value per share due to selling compensation and expenses paid by the Company, will experience an immediate decrease, although small, in the net asset value of their shares and their net asset value per share compared to the price they pay for their shares. Investors who are not currently stockholders and who participate in an offering of shares of our common stock below net asset value per share and whose investment per share is also less than the resulting net asset value per share due to selling compensation and expenses paid by the Company being significantly less than the discount per share, will experience an immediate increase in the net asset value of their shares and their net asset value per share compared to the price they pay for their shares. These investors will experience a disproportionately greater participation in our earnings and assets and their voting power than our increase in assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to such offering. These investors will, however, be subject to the risk that we may make additional discounted offerings in which such new stockholder does not participate, in which case such new stockholder will experience dilution as described above in such subsequent offerings.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REGULATION AS A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

General

A business development company is regulated by the 1940 Act. A business development company must be organized in the United States for the purpose of investing in or lending to primarily private companies and making managerial assistance available to them. A business development company may use capital provided by public stockholders and from other sources to invest in long-term, private investments in businesses. A business development company provides stockholders the ability to retain the liquidity of a publicly traded stock, while sharing in the possible benefits, if any, of investing in primarily privately owned companies.

We may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or withdraw our election as, a business development company unless authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities, as required by the 1940 Act. A majority of the outstanding voting securities of a company is defined under the 1940 Act as the lesser of: (i) 67% or more of such company’s voting securities present at a meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of such company are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of such company. We do not anticipate any substantial change in the nature of our business.

As with other companies regulated by the 1940 Act, a business development company must adhere to certain substantive regulatory requirements. A majority of our directors must be persons who are not interested persons, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. Additionally, we are required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect the business development company. Furthermore, as a business development company, we are prohibited from protecting any director or officer against any liability to the company or our stockholders arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office.

As a business development company, we are required to meet a coverage ratio of the value of total assets to total senior securities, which include all of our borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. We may also be prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of our directors who are not interested persons and, in some cases, prior approval by the SEC.

We are not generally able to sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to our Business and Structure — Regulations governing our operation as a business development company affect our ability to raise additional capital and the way in which we do so. As a business development company, the necessity of raising additional capital may expose us to risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage.” We may, however, sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share (i) in connection with a rights offering to our existing stockholders, (ii) with the consent of the majority of our common stockholders, or (iii) under such other circumstances as the SEC may permit. For example, we may sell our common stock at a price below the then current net asset value of our common stock if our Board of Directors determines that such sale is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, and our stockholders approve our policy and practice of making such sales. In any such case, under such circumstances, the price at which our common stock to be issued and sold may not be less than a price which, in the determination of our Board of Directors, closely approximates the market value of such common stock. In addition, we may generally issue new shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value in rights offerings to existing stockholders, in payment of dividends and in certain other limited circumstances.

We may be examined by the SEC for compliance with the 1940 Act.

As a business development company, we are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to our Business and Structure.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Qualifying Assets

As a business development company, we may not acquire any asset other than “qualifying assets” unless, at the time we make the acquisition, the value of our qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the value of our total assets. The principal categories of qualifying assets relevant to our business are:

Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering, the issuer of which is an eligible portfolio company;
Securities received in exchange for or distributed with respect to securities described in the bullet above or pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or rights relating to such securities; and
Cash, cash items, government securities or high quality debt securities (within the meaning of the 1940 Act), maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.

An eligible portfolio company is generally a domestic company that is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly owned by a business development company) and that:

does not have a class of securities with respect to which a broker may extend margin credit at the time the acquisition is made;
is controlled by the business development company and has an affiliate of the business development company on its board of directors;
does not have any class of securities listed on a national securities exchange;
is a public company that lists its securities on a national securities exchange with a market capitalization of less than $250 million; or
meets such other criteria as may be established by the SEC.

Control, as defined by the 1940 Act, is presumed to exist where a business development company beneficially owns more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of the portfolio company.

In addition, a business development company must have been organized and have its principal place of business in the United States and must be operated for the purpose of making investments in eligible portfolio companies, or in other securities that are consistent with its purpose as a business development company.

Significant Managerial Assistance

To include certain securities described above as qualifying assets for the purpose of the 70% test, a business development company must offer to the issuer of those securities managerial assistance such as providing guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations, or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company. We offer to provide managerial assistance to our portfolio companies.

Temporary Investments

Pending investment in other types of “qualifying assets,” as described above, our investments may consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, which we refer to, collectively, as temporary investments, so that 70% of our assets are qualifying assets. Typically, we will invest in U.S. Treasury bills or in repurchase agreements, provided that such agreements are fully collateralized by cash or securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. A repurchase agreement involves the purchase by an investor, such as us, of a specified security and the simultaneous agreement by the seller to repurchase it at an agreed-upon future date and at a price which is greater than the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate. There is no percentage restriction on the proportion of our assets that may be invested in such repurchase agreements. However, if more than 25% of our gross assets constitute repurchase agreements from a single counterparty, we would not meet the diversification tests in order to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. Thus, we do not intend to enter into repurchase agreements with a single counterparty in excess of this limit. Our investment adviser will monitor the creditworthiness of the counterparties with which we enter into repurchase agreement transactions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Senior Securities

We are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of stock senior to our common stock if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least equal to 200% immediately after each such issuance. In addition, while any senior securities remain outstanding, we must make provisions to prohibit any distribution to our stockholders or the repurchase of such securities or shares unless we meet the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the distribution or repurchase. We may also borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of our gross assets for temporary or emergency purposes without regard to asset coverage. We may borrow money, which would magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and may increase the risk of investing in us.

Code of Ethics

We and Full Circle Advisors have each adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act, respectively, that establishes procedures for personal investments and restricts certain transactions by our personnel. Our codes of ethics generally do not permit investments by our employees in securities that may be purchased or held by us. You may read and copy these codes of ethics at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (202) 551-8090. In addition, each code of ethics is available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s Internet site at http://www.sec.gov . You may also obtain copies of the codes of ethics, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following email address: publicinfo@sec.gov, or by writing the SEC’s Public Reference Section, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.

Compliance Policies and Procedures

We and our investment adviser have adopted and implemented written policies and procedures reasonably designed to detect and prevent violation of the federal securities laws and are required to review these compliance policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation and designate a chief compliance officer to be responsible for administering the policies and procedures. Salvatore Faia currently serves as our Chief Compliance Officer.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 imposes a wide variety of new regulatory requirements on publicly-held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements affect us. For example:

Pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the 1934 Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer must certify the accuracy of the financial statements contained in our periodic reports;
Pursuant to Item 307 of Regulation S-K, our periodic reports must disclose our conclusions about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures;
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the 1934 Act, our management must prepare a report regarding its assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and
Pursuant to Item 308 of Regulation S-K and Rule 13a-15 of the 1934 Act, our periodic reports must disclose whether there were significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires us to review our current policies and procedures to determine whether we comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. We will continue to monitor our compliance with all regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance therewith.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

We have delegated our proxy voting responsibility to Full Circle Advisors. The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of Full Circle Advisors are set forth below. The guidelines will be reviewed periodically by Full Circle Advisors and our non-interested directors, and, accordingly, are subject to change. For purposes of these Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures described below, “we,” “our” and “us” refers to Full Circle Advisors.

Introduction

An investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act has a fiduciary duty to act solely in the best interests of its clients. As part of this duty, we recognize that we must vote client securities in a timely manner free of conflicts of interest and in the best interests of our clients.

These policies and procedures for voting proxies for our investment advisory clients are intended to comply with Section 206 of, and Rule 206(4)-6 under, the Advisers Act.

Proxy Policies

We will vote proxies relating to our portfolio securities in what we perceive to be the best interest of our clients’ stockholders. We will review on a case-by-case basis each proposal submitted to a stockholder vote to determine its impact on the portfolio securities held by our clients. Although we will generally vote against proposals that may have a negative impact on our clients’ portfolio securities, we may vote for such a proposal if there exist compelling long-term reasons to do so.

Our proxy voting decisions will be made by the senior officers who are responsible for monitoring each of our clients’ investments. To ensure that our vote is not the product of a conflict of interest, we will require that: (1) anyone involved in the decision making process disclose to our manager any potential conflict that he or she is aware of and any contact that he or she has had with any interested party regarding a proxy vote; and (2) employees involved in the decision making process or vote administration are prohibited from revealing how we intend to vote on a proposal in order to reduce any attempted influence from interested parties.

Proxy Voting Records

You may obtain information about how we voted proxies by making a written request for proxy voting information to: Full Circle Advisors, LLC, 800 Westchester Ave., Suite S-620, Rye Brook, New York 10573.

Privacy Principles

We are committed to maintaining the privacy of our stockholders and to safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following information is provided to help you understand what personal information we collect, how we protect that information and why, in certain cases, we may share information with select other parties.

Generally, we do not receive any non-public personal information relating to our stockholders, although certain non-public personal information of our stockholders may become available to us. We do not disclose any non-public personal information about our stockholders or former stockholders to anyone, except as permitted by law or as is necessary in order to service stockholder accounts (for example, to a transfer agent or third party administrator).

We restrict access to non-public personal information about our stockholders to employees of our investment adviser and its affiliates with a legitimate business need for the information. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect the non-public personal information of our stockholders.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

We have registered our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and have reporting obligations thereunder, including the requirement that we file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC.

You may obtain our annual reports on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and our current reports on Form 8-K on our website at http://www.fccapital.com free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after we file such reports electronically with the SEC.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of our dividends and other distributions on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash as provided below. As a result, if our Board of Directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash distribution, our stockholders who have not opted out of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash distributions.

No action will be required on the part of a registered stockholder to have his cash distribution reinvested in shares of our common stock. A registered stockholder may elect to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, the plan administrator and our transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator no later than the record date for distributions to stockholders. The plan administrator will set up an account for shares acquired through the plan for each stockholder who has not elected to receive distributions in cash and hold such shares in non-certificated form. Upon request by a stockholder participating in the plan, received in writing not less than 10 days prior to the record date, the plan administrator will, instead of crediting shares to the participant’s account, issue a certificate registered in the participant’s name for the number of whole shares of our common stock and a check for any fractional share.

Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive distributions in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

We intend to use primarily newly issued shares to implement the plan, whether our shares are trading at a premium or at a discount to net asset value. However, we reserve the right to purchase shares in the open market in connection with our implementation of the plan. If we declare a distribution to stockholders, the plan administrator may be instructed not to credit accounts with newly-issued shares and instead to buy shares in the market if (i) the price at which newly-issued shares are to be credited does not exceed 110% of the last determined net asset value of the shares; or (ii) we have advised the plan administrator that since such net asset value was last determined, we have become aware of events that indicate the possibility of a material change in per share net asset value as a result of which the net asset value of the shares on the payment date might be higher than the price at which the plan administrator would credit newly-issued shares to stockholders. The number of shares to be issued to a stockholder is determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of our common stock at the close of regular trading on the valuation date for such distribution. Market price per share on that date will be the closing price for such shares on the national securities exchange on which our shares are then listed or, if no sale is reported for such day, at the average of their reported bid and asked prices. The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after giving effect to payment of the distribution cannot be established until the value per share at which additional shares will be issued has been determined and elections of our stockholders have been tabulated.

There will be no brokerage charges or other charges to stockholders who participate in the plan. The plan administrator’s fees under the plan will be paid by us. If a participant elects by written notice to the plan administrator to have the plan administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the plan administrator in the participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the plan administrator is authorized to deduct a transaction fee of $15 plus a per share brokerage commission from the proceeds.

Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of stock are subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as are stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in cash. A stockholder’s basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of stock received in a distribution from us will be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the stockholder. Any stock received in a distribution will have a new holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares are credited to the U.S. stockholder’s account.

The plan may be terminated by us upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any distribution by us. All correspondence concerning the plan should be directed to the plan administrator by mail at 6201 15 th Ave., Brooklyn, New York 11219 or by phone at (866) 665-2281.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS

We have entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with Full Circle Advisors. Mr. Stuart, our Chief Executive Officer and President, is the manager of, and has financial and controlling interests in, Full Circle Advisors.

Full Circle Advisors’ investment committee 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.

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.”

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.

Our Chief Financial Officer, 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. In exchange for providing such services, Full Circle Service Company pays Vastardis Fund Services an asset-based fee with a $200,000 annual minimum. This asset-based fee varies depending upon our gross assets 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 Full Circle Service Company for the fees charged by Vastardis Fund Services for the service of Mr. Vastardis as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary at an annual rate of $250,000. Vastardis Fund Services agreed to cap its first year fees at $200,000 for administrative services to us, and at $100,000 for the service of Mr. Vastardis as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary. These fee caps expired on August 31, 2011.

In connection with our acquisition of the Legacy Portfolio in August 2010, 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered related party transactions. In order to ensure that we do not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with us, we have implemented certain policies and procedures whereby our executive officers screen each of our transactions for any possible affiliations between the proposed portfolio investment, us, companies controlled by us and our employees and directors. We will not enter into any agreements unless and until we are satisfied that doing so will not raise concerns under the 1940 Act or, if such concerns exist, we have taken appropriate actions to seek board review and approval or exemptive relief for such transaction. Our Board of Directors reviews these procedures on an annual basis.

We and our investment adviser have also adopted Codes of Ethics which apply to, among others, our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as every officer, director and employee of us and our investment adviser. These Codes of Ethics require that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and the interests of Full Circle Capital. Pursuant to the Codes 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 the Codes of Ethics. As required by the NASDAQ Stock Market 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).

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

This prospectus contains a summary of our capital stock and is not meant to be a complete description. However, this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement will contain the material terms and conditions for each security sold thereunder.

Stock

The authorized stock of Full Circle Capital Corporation consists of 100,000,000 shares of stock, par value $0.01 per share, all of which are initially designated as common stock. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “FULL.” There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase our stock. No stock has been authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans. Our fiscal year-end is June 30. Under Maryland law, our stockholders generally are not personally liable for our debts or obligations.

The following are our outstanding classes of securities as of May 31, 2012:

     
           (1)
Title of Class
  (2)

Under our charter, our Board of Directors is authorized to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of stock into other classes or series of stock without obtaining stockholder approval. As permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, our charter provides that the Board of Directors, without any action by our stockholders, may amend the charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue.

Common Stock

All shares of our common stock have equal rights as to earnings, assets, voting, and dividends and, when they are issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Distributions may be paid to the holders of our common stock if, as and when authorized by our Board of Directors and declared by us out of assets legally available therefor. Shares of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion or redemption rights and are freely transferable, except where their transfer is restricted by federal and state securities laws or by contract. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each share of our common stock would be entitled to share ratably in all of our assets that are legally available for distribution after we pay all debts and other liabilities and subject to any preferential rights of holders of our preferred stock, if any preferred stock is outstanding at such time. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the holders of our common stock will possess exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect all of our directors, and holders of less than a majority of such shares will be unable to elect any director.

Preferred Stock

Our charter authorizes our Board of Directors to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of stock into other classes or series of stock, including preferred stock. The cost of any such reclassification would be borne by our existing common stockholders. Prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, the Board of Directors is required by Maryland law and by our charter to set the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each class or series. Thus, the Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. You should note, however, that any issuance of preferred stock must comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act requires, among other things, that (1) immediately after issuance and before any dividend or other distribution is made with respect to our

116


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

common stock and before any purchase of common stock is made, such preferred stock together with all other senior securities must not exceed an amount equal to 50% of our gross assets after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase price, as the case may be, and (2) the holders of shares of preferred stock, if any are issued, must be entitled as a class to elect two directors at all times and to elect a majority of the directors if dividends on such preferred stock are in arrears by two full years or more. Certain matters under the 1940 Act require the separate vote of the holders of any issued and outstanding preferred stock. For example, holders of preferred stock would vote separately from the holders of common stock on a proposal to cease operations as a business development company. We believe that the availability for issuance of preferred stock will provide us with increased flexibility in structuring future financings and acquisitions. However, we do not currently have any plans to issue preferred stock.

Limitation on Liability of Directors and Officers; Indemnification and Advance of Expenses

Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. Our charter contains such a provision which eliminates directors’ and officers’ liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act.

Our charter authorizes us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, to indemnify any present or former director or officer or any individual who, while a director and at our request, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee, from and against any claim or liability to which that person may become subject or which that person may incur by reason of his or her status as a present or former director or officer and to pay or reimburse their reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. Our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, to indemnify any present or former director or officer or any individual who, while a director and at our request, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee and who is made a party to the proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity from and against any claim or liability to which that person may become subject or which that person may incur by reason of his or her status as a present or former director or officer and to pay or reimburse their reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. The charter and bylaws also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a predecessor of us in any of the capacities described above and any of our employees or agents or any employees or agents of our predecessor. In accordance with the 1940 Act, we will not indemnify any person for any liability to which such person would be subject by reason of such person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (1) was committed in bad faith or (2) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification, and then only for expenses. In addition, Maryland law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation’s receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written

117

undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

Our insurance policy does not currently provide coverage for claims, liabilities and expenses that may arise out of activities that our present or former directors or officers have performed for another entity at our request. There is no assurance that such entities will in fact carry such insurance. However, we note that we do not expect to request our present or former directors or officers to serve another entity as a director, officer, partner or trustee unless we can obtain insurance providing coverage for such persons for any claims, liabilities or expenses that may arise out of their activities while serving in such capacities.

Certain Provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and Our Charter and Bylaws

The Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter and bylaws contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a potential acquirer to acquire us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are expected to discourage certain coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages of discouraging any such acquisition proposals because, among other things, the negotiation of such proposals may improve their terms.

Classified Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors are divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms. Upon expiration of their terms, directors of each class will be elected to serve for three-year terms and until their successors are duly elected and qualify and each year one class of directors will be elected by the stockholders. A classified board may render a change in control of us or removal of our incumbent management more difficult. We believe, however, that the longer time required to elect a majority of a classified Board of Directors will help to ensure the continuity and stability of our management and policies.

Election of Directors

Our charter and bylaws provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present will be required to elect a director. Pursuant to our charter our Board of Directors may amend the bylaws to alter the vote required to elect directors.

Number of Directors; Vacancies; Removal

Our charter provides that the number of directors will be set only by the Board of Directors in accordance with our bylaws. Our bylaws provide that a majority of our entire Board of Directors may at any time increase or decrease the number of directors. However, unless our bylaws are amended, the number of directors may never be less than one nor more than nine. Our charter provides that, at such time as we have at least three independent directors and our common stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we elect to be subject to the provision of Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the Maryland General Corporation Law regarding the filling of vacancies on the Board of Directors. Accordingly, at such time, except as may be provided by the Board of Directors in setting the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, any and all vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies, subject to any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.

Our charter provides that a director may be removed only for cause, as defined in our charter, and then only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Action by Stockholders

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or (unless the charter provides for stockholder action by less than unanimous written consent, which our charter does not) by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting. These provisions, combined with the requirements of our bylaws regarding the calling of a stockholder-requested special meeting of stockholders discussed below, may have the effect of delaying consideration of a stockholder proposal until the next annual meeting.

Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Stockholder Proposals

Our bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only (1) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (2) by the Board of Directors or (3) by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of our bylaws. With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in our notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors at a special meeting may be made only (1) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (2) by the Board of Directors or (3) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors will be elected at the meeting, by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of the bylaws. The purpose of requiring stockholders to give us advance notice of nominations and other business is to afford our Board of Directors a meaningful opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and the advisability of any other proposed business and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by our Board of Directors, to inform stockholders and make recommendations about such qualifications or business, as well as to provide a more orderly procedure for conducting meetings of stockholders. Although our bylaws do not give our Board of Directors any power to disapprove stockholder nominations for the election of directors or proposals recommending certain action, they may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors or the consideration of stockholder proposals if proper procedures are not followed and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to approve its own proposal without regard to whether consideration of such nominees or proposals might be harmful or beneficial to us and our stockholders.

Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders

Our bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by our Board of Directors and certain of our officers. Additionally, our bylaws provide that, subject to the satisfaction of certain procedural and informational requirements by the stockholders requesting the meeting, a special meeting of stockholders will be called by the secretary of the corporation upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting.

Approval of Extraordinary Corporate Action; Amendment of Charter and Bylaws

Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, unless approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our charter generally provides for approval of charter amendments and extraordinary transactions by the stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our charter also provides that certain charter amendments, any proposal for our conversion, whether by charter amendment, merger or otherwise, from a closed-end company to an open-end company and any proposal for our liquidation or dissolution requires the approval of the stockholders entitled to cast at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter. However, if such amendment or proposal is approved by a majority of our continuing directors (in addition to approval by our Board of Directors), such amendment or proposal may be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on such a matter. In either event, in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act, any such amendment or proposal that would have the effect of changing the nature of our business so as to cause us to cease to be, or to withdraw our election as, a business development company would be required to be approved by a majority of our

119


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

outstanding voting securities, as defined under the 1940 Act. The “continuing directors” are defined in our charter as (1) our current directors, (2) those directors whose nomination for election by the stockholders or whose election by the directors to fill vacancies is approved by a majority of our current directors then on the Board of Directors or (3) any successor directors whose nomination for election by the stockholders or whose election by the directors to fill vacancies is approved by a majority of continuing directors or the successor continuing directors then in office.

Our charter and bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will have the exclusive power to make, alter, amend or repeal any provision of our bylaws.

No Appraisal Rights

Except with respect to appraisal rights arising in connection with the Control Share Act discussed below, as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, our charter provides that stockholders will not be entitled to exercise appraisal rights unless a majority of the Board of Directors shall determine such rights apply.

Control Share Acquisitions

The Maryland General Corporation Law provides that control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter (the “Control Share Act”). Shares owned by the acquirer, by officers or by directors who are employees of the corporation are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. Control shares are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:

one-tenth or more but less than one-third;
one-third or more but less than a majority; or
a majority or more of all voting power.

The requisite stockholder approval must be obtained each time an acquirer crosses one of the thresholds of voting power set forth above. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A control share acquisition means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions.

A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition may compel the Board of Directors of the corporation to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. The right to compel the calling of a special meeting is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including an undertaking to pay the expenses of the meeting. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting.

If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then the corporation may redeem for fair value any or all of the control shares, except those for which voting rights have previously been approved. The right of the corporation to redeem control shares is subject to certain conditions and limitations, including, as provided in our bylaws compliance with the 1940 Act. Fair value is determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquirer or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of the shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquirer in the control share acquisition.

The Control Share Act does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Control Share Act any and all

120


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

acquisitions by any person of our shares of stock. There can be no assurance that such provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future. However, we will amend our bylaws to be subject to the Control Share Act only if the Board of Directors determines that it would be in our best interests and if the SEC staff does not object to our determination that our being subject to the Control Share Act does not conflict with the 1940 Act.

Business Combinations

Under Maryland law, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder (the “Business Combination Act”). These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:

any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock; or
an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

A person is not an interested stockholder under this statute if the Board of Directors approved in advance the transaction by which the stockholder otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board.

After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:

80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and
two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.

These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares.

The statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of directors before the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Our Board of Directors has adopted a resolution that any business combination between us and any other person is exempted from the provisions of the Business Combination Act, provided that the business combination is first approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act. This resolution may be altered or repealed in whole or in part at any time; however, our Board of Directors will adopt resolutions so as to make us subject to the provisions of the Business Combination Act only if the Board of Directors determines that it would be in our best interests and if the SEC staff does not object to our determination that our being subject to the Business Combination Act does not conflict with the 1940 Act. If this resolution is repealed, or the Board of Directors does not otherwise approve a business combination, the statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.

Conflict with 1940 Act

Our bylaws provide that, if and to the extent that any provision of the Maryland General Corporation Law, including the Control Share Act (if we amend our bylaws to be subject to such Act) and the Business Combination Act, or any provision of our charter or bylaws conflicts with any provision of the 1940 Act, the applicable provision of the 1940 Act will control.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may offer, from time to time, in more than one offerings, up to $30,000,000 of our common stock in one or more underwritten public offerings, at-the-market offerings to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market for the securities, on an exchange or otherwise, negotiated transactions, block trades, best efforts or a combination of these methods. We may sell our common stock through underwriters or dealers, directly to one or more purchasers, through agents or through a combination of any such methods of sale. Any underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of our common stock will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. A prospectus supplement or supplements will also describe the terms of the offering of common stock, including: the purchase price of the common stock and the proceeds we will receive from the sale; any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional common stock from us; any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation; the public offering price; any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers; and any securities exchange or market on which our common stock may be listed. Only underwriters or agents named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters or agents of the common stock offered by the prospectus supplement.

The distribution of the common stock may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices, provided, however, that the offering price per share of our common stock, less any underwriting commissions or discounts, must equal or exceed the net asset value per share of our common stock at the time of the offering except (a) in connection with a rights offering to our existing stockholders, (b) with the consent of the majority of our common stockholders or (c) under such other circumstances as the SEC may permit. The price at which the common stock may be distributed may represent a discount from prevailing market prices.

In connection with the sale of the common stock, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of the common stock, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell the common stock to or through dealers and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions they receive from us and any profit realized by them on the resale of the common stock may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any such underwriter or agent will be identified and any such compensation received from us will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The maximum aggregate commission or discount to be received by any member of FINRA or independent broker-dealer will not be greater than 10% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.

Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock, either through exercise of the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the common stock originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

122


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any underwriters that are qualified market makers on the NASDAQ Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of our common stock. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

We may sell the common stock directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of the common stock and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

Under agreements that we may enter, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of shares of our common stock may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase our common stock from us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. Institutions with which such contracts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all cases such institutions must be approved by us. The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract will be subject to the condition that the purchase of our common stock shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and such other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts. Such contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts.

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell common stock not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell common stock covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use common stock pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use common stock received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third parties in such sale transactions will be underwriters and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, our common stock offered hereby will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the year ended June 30, 2011 and the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010 included in this prospectus have been so included in reliance on the report of Rothstein Kass, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES

Since we will generally acquire and dispose of our investments in privately negotiated transactions, we will infrequently use brokers in the normal course of our business. Subject to policies established by our Board of Directors, our investment adviser will be primarily responsible for the execution of the publicly traded securities portion of our portfolio transactions and the allocation of brokerage commissions. Our investment adviser does not expect to execute transactions through any particular broker or dealer, but will seek to obtain the best net results for Full Circle Capital, taking into account such factors as price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of order, difficulty of execution, and operational facilities of the firm and the firm’s risk and skill in positioning blocks of securities. While our investment adviser generally will seek reasonably competitive trade execution costs, Full Circle Capital will not necessarily pay the lowest spread or commission available. Subject to applicable legal requirements, our investment adviser may select a broker based partly upon brokerage or research services provided to the investment adviser and Full Circle Capital and any other clients. In return for such services, we may pay a higher commission than other brokers would charge if the investment adviser determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in relation to the services provided.

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 Art Credit Company, LLC, 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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 may invest 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 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 $165,077 and $368,762 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $700,612 and $569,764 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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 nine months ended March 31, 2012. The Company currently has $23,237 of deferred offering costs related to its form N-2 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or “SEC” on March 23, 2012.

A portion of the net proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering in August, 2010 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 March 31, 2012, we had approximately $6.3 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.

Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transactions  – (continued)

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 and nine months ended March 31, 2012, were $291,919 and $878,569, repectively, after adjusting for the waivers of $0 and $28,124, respectively. The total base management fee payable to the Adviser at March 31, 2012 was $291,920, after reflecting payment of $897,458 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2011, were $250,194 and $661,607, respectively, after adjusting for the waivers of $35,742 and $94,515, respectively.

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%;
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

Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transactions  – (continued)

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) 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. There were no incentive fees paid on realized gains for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 or 2011.

Income incentive fees of $277,588 and $923,864 were earned by the Adviser for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, and the total income incentive fee payable to the Adviser at March 31, 2012 was $277,588, after reflecting payment of $927,885 during the period, and is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities in Due to Affiliate. The income incentive fee of $348,612 and $836,074 were earned by the Adviser for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011.

The Adviser had 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 $0 and $285,668 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, and $138,085 and $321,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively.

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.

Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transactions  – (continued)

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.

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 pays 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 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred $242,125 and $690,799, respectively, of expenses under the Administration Agreement, $78,114 and $234,343, respectively, of which were earned by the Sub-Administrator and $74,800 and $192,353, respectively, of which were paid for officers’ compensation. The remaining $89,211 and $264,103, respectively, were recorded as an Allocation of Overhead Expenses to the Administrator in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred $200,746 and $468,369, respectively, of expenses under the Administration Agreement, $78,115 and $182,267, respectively, of which were earned by the Sub-Administrator and $32,361 and $75,472, respectively, were paid for officers’ compensation.

Note 6. Equity Offerings and Related Expenses and Other Stock Issuances  – (continued)

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).

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 the “Credit Facility” with First Capital. The facility size is $35 million and was initially scheduled to expire in January 2012. On January 27, 2012, the Company extended the Credit Facility through July 31, 2012. Under the Credit Facility, base rate borrowings bear interest at LIBOR (0.241% at March 31, 2012, and 0.186% 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 March 31, 2012, the Company had a balance of $12,397,168 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 March 31, 2012, 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 9. Fair Value Measurements  – (continued)

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements as of March 31, 2012:

       
Description:   Fair Value   Valuation Technique   Unobservable
Inputs
  Range (Average) (1)
Secured debt   $ 62,192,045       Discounted cash flows
(income approach)
      Discount Rate       3% – 21% (16%)  
Equity     961,952       Market comparable companies
(market approach)
      EBITDA multiple       3.5 – 7.5 (4.5)  
Debt or Equity subject to liquidation     2,976,144       Liquidation Value       Asset Value       N/A  
Other     710       Option Pricing Model       Volatility       50%  
Total investments   $ 66,130,851                             

(1) The average values were determined using the weighted average of the fair value of the investments in each investment category.

The primary significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt securities (first lien debt, second lien debt and subordinated debt), including income-producing investments in funds, is the discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. In determining the discount rate, for the income, or yield, approach, the Company considers current market yields and multiples, portfolio company performance, leverage levels and credit quality, among other factors in its analysis. Changes in one or more of these factors can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate discount rate to use in the income approach.

The primary significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity investments is the EBITDA multiple, or the “Enterprise Value”. Significant increases (decreases) in the Enterprise Value in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. To determine the Enterprise Value for the market approach, the Company considers current market trading and/or transaction multiples, portfolio company performance (financial ratios) relative to public and private peer companies and leverage levels, among other factors. Changes in one or more of these factors can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate multiple to use in the market approach.

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.

Note 10. Derivative Contracts  – (continued)

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 March 31, 2012, the notional amounts and number of warrants, categorized by primary underlying risk, are as follows:

   
  Long Exposure
     Notional
Amounts
  Number of
Warrants
Primary Underlying Risk
                 
Equity Price
                 
Warrants (a)   $ 90,143       222,227  

(a) Notional amounts presented for warrants are based on the fair value of the underlying shares as if the warrants were exercised at March 31, 2012.

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

Dividend

On May 7, 2012, the Board of Directors declared monthly dividends of $0.077, $0.077 and $0.077 per share payable on August 15, 2012 for holders of record at July 31, 2012, September 14, 2012 for holders of record at August 31, 2012 and October 15, 2012 for holders of record at September 28, 2012, respectively.

Recent Portfolio Activity

On April 1, 2012, the Company amended the loan to ProGrade Ammo Group LLC. The interest rate on the Senior Secured Term Loan was increased by 0.75% and the Company obtained additional warrants in the borrower for 9.5% of the outstanding LLC interests.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Full Circle Capital Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities of Full Circle Capital Corporation (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, including the consolidated schedule of investments as of June 30, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2011 and the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidate financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Full Circle Capital Corporation as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2011 and the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and conform to Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The financial results of our portfolio investments are not consolidated in the financial statements.

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.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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. 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 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.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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.

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. Income from such sources was $746,896 for the year ended June 30, 2011. The Company did not earn Other Income for the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010. Fee income consists principally of administrative fees, prepayment fees, structuring fees and unused line fees.

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.

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. During the year ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid $3,515 in excise taxes.

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

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.

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.

Note 3. Concentration of Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk  – (continued)

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.

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 expires.

The total base management fees earned by the Adviser for the year ended June 30, 2011 was $969,533. After adjusting for the waiver of $138,505, the total base management fee payable to the Adviser at June 30, 2011 was $310,809, after reflecting payment of $520,219 during the period, and is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities in Due to Affiliate. The Adviser did not earn a management fee for the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010.

Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transactions  – (continued)

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%;
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 $1,130,190 were earned by the Adviser for the year ended June 30, 2011 and the total income incentive fee payable to the Adviser at June 30, 2011 was $281,609, after reflecting payment of $848,581 during the period, and is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities in Due to Affiliate. The Adviser did not earn income incentive fees for the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 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 $408,803 for the year ended June 30, 2011.

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.

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.

We will 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.

For the period from April 16, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010, the Company did not incur expenses under the Administration Agreement.

For the year ended June 30, 2011 the Company incurred $672,185 of expenses under the Administration Agreement, $260,381 of which was earned by the Sub-Administrator and $110,904 was paid in officers compensation. The remaining $300,900 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 Investment in Texas Westchester Financial, LLC, the Company has provided managerial assistance during the period. As of June 30, 2011, none of the portfolio companies had accepted our offer for such services.

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 (0.18555% 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 June 30, 2011, the Company did not have a balance on the Credit Facility.

Distribution Notes

On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into multiple senior unsecured notes (the “Distribution Notes”).

During the year ended June 30, 2011, there were no transfers in or out of levels.

The Company did not have any assets to be measured at fair value subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820 as of June 30, 2010.

The following table presents additional information about Level 3 assets measured at fair value. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value for the year ended June 30, 2011 are as follows:

The change in unrealized losses for Level 3 investments still held at June 30, 2011 of ($1,796,629) is included in change in net unrealized gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2011.

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.

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

   
  Long Exposure
     Notional Amounts   Number of Warrants
Primary Underlying Risk                  
Equity Price                  
Warrants (a)   $ 529,252       71,611  

(a) Notional amounts presented for warrants are based on the fair value of the underlying shares as if the warrants were exercised at June 30, 2011.

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 is not expected to 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 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-6 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures related to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — (Topic 820) , Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, reporting gross activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and clarifications to the level of detail of existing disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with the exception of reporting gross activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-6 to have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
