FS Energy and Power Fund        Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements        (in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

FS Energy and Power Fund, or the Company, was formed as a Delaware statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act on September 16, 2010 and formally commenced operations
on July 18, 2011 upon raising gross proceeds in excess of $2,500, or the minimum offering requirement, from sales of its common shares of beneficial interest, or common shares, in its
continuous public offering to persons who were not affiliated with the Company or the Company's investment adviser, FS Investment Advisor, LLC, or FS Advisor, a private investment firm that is
registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or the Advisers Act, and an affiliate of the Company. Prior to satisfying the minimum offering requirement,
the Company had no operations
except for matters relating to its organization and registration as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company.

The
Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. The Company is an externally
managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company,
or RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had four wholly-owned financing subsidiaries,
Energy Funding LLC, or Energy Funding, EP Funding LLC, or EP Funding, EP Investments LLC, or EP Investments, and FSEP Term Funding, LLC, or FSEP Funding. As of
September 30, 2013, the Company also had four wholly-owned subsidiaries through which it holds interests in certain non-controlled and non-affiliated portfolio companies: EP American Energy
Investments, Inc., through which it holds its equity interest in American Energy Ohio Holdings, LLC; EP San Pedro Investments, LLC, through which it holds its net profits interest in San
Pedro Development, LLC; EP Synergy Investments, Inc., through which it holds its preferred equity interest in Synergy Offshore LLC; and FSEP-BBH, Inc., through which it
holds its common equity interest in BBH Operating LLC. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include both the Company's accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as
of September 30, 2013. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. federal and
state income taxes.

The
Company's investment objective is to generate current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in privately-held U.S. companies in the energy and power
industry. The Company's investment policy is to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total assets in securities of energy and power related, or Energy, companies. The Company
considers Energy companies to be those companies that engage in the exploration, development, production, gathering, transportation, processing, storage, refining, distribution, mining, generation or
marketing of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined products, coal or power.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation:The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance
with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For a more

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

complete
discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, the Company's interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with its audited
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet
and consolidated schedule of investments are derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company has evaluated the
impact of subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

Use of Estimates:The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Many of the amounts have been rounded, and all amounts are
in thousands, except share and per share amounts.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee:The Company has entered into an investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FS Advisor,
dated as of
April 28, 2011, which was amended on August 10, 2012, and which, as amended, is referred to herein as the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. Pursuant to the terms
of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of
the investment advisory and administrative services agreement). Such fee will equal 20.0% of the Company's incentive fee capital gains (i.e., the Company's realized capital gains on a
cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate
amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of
the end of such period.

While
the investment advisory and administrative services agreement neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive
fee, pursuant to an interpretation of an American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, the Company includes unrealized gains in the
calculation of the capital gains incentive fee expense and related accrued capital gains incentive fee. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to FS Advisor if the Company's
entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though FS Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains
are actually realized.

In
addition, the Company historically treated all net settlement payments received by the Company pursuant to its total return swap, or TRS (which is described more fully in
Note 8), as realized capital gains and included only the aggregate amount of unrealized depreciation on the TRS as a whole in calculating the capital gains incentive fee payable to FS Advisor
with respect to realized gains, in each case, in accordance with GAAP. However, the staff of the Division of Investment Management of the

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)



Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

SEC,
or the Staff, informed the Company that it is their interpretation of the applicable language in the Advisers Act that the Company should "look through" the TRS in calculating its capital gains
incentive fee. Under this "look through" methodology, the portion of the net settlement payments received by the Company pursuant to the TRS which would have represented net investment income to
the Company had the Company held the loans or securities underlying the TRS directly would be treated as net investment income subject to the subordinated incentive fee on income payable to
FS Advisor pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, rather than as realized capital gains in accordance with GAAP, and any unrealized depreciation on
individual loans or securities underlying the TRS would further reduce the capital gains incentive fee payable to FS Advisor with respect to realized gains. FS Advisor voluntarily agreed
to waive any capital gains incentive fee calculated in accordance with GAAP to which it would otherwise be entitled in respect of the TRS if and to the extent that the amount of such fee exceeds the
sum of (i) the amount of capital gains incentive fee determined in respect of the TRS on a "look through" basis under which the Company treats the reference assets underlying the TRS as
investments of the Company and (ii) the aggregate amount of subordinated incentive fees on income which would have been payable to FS Advisor with respect to the portion of the net
settlement payments received by the Company pursuant to the TRS which represent net investment income on the loans or securities underlying the TRS on a "look through" basis. As of June 30,
2013, the aggregate capital gains incentive fees paid to FS Advisor in prior periods and accrued as of such date with respect to realized gains in accordance with GAAP were less than the fees
which would have been payable in accordance with the "look through" methodology. On May 24, 2013, the Company terminated the TRS.

Subordinated Income Incentive Fee:Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FS Advisor may also be
entitled to
receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income, which is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of "pre-incentive fee net investment
income" for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the investment advisory and administrative services
agreement, equal to 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%. As a result, FS Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company's pre-incentive fee net
investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.625%. Once the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FS Advisor will be entitled to
a "catch-up" fee equal to the amount of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals
2.031%, or 8.125% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FS Advisor will receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Reclassifications:Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2012
have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. These
reclassifications had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.

Status of Continuous Public Offering

Since commencing its continuous public offering and through October 29, 2013, the Company has sold 153,107,198 common shares (as
adjusted for share distributions) for gross proceeds of $1,575,896. As of October 29, 2013, the Company had raised total gross proceeds of $1,596,100, including $200 of seed capital contributed
by the principals of FS Advisor in December 2010 and $20,004 in proceeds raised from principals of FS Advisor, other individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor, certain members of the
Company's board of trustees and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GSO Capital Partners LP, or GSO, the Company's investment sub-adviser, in a private placement conducted in April
2011 (see Note 4). During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company sold 78,832,759 and 37,053,567 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) for gross
proceeds of $826,518 and $367,945 at an average price per share of $10.48 and $9.93, respectively. The gross proceeds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 include
reinvested shareholder distributions of $33,607 and $5,260, respectively, for which the Company issued 3,497,589 and 580,803 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions), respectively. During
the period from October 1, 2013 to October 29, 2013, the Company sold 11,972,510 common shares for gross proceeds of $127,331 at an average price per share of $10.64.

The
proceeds from the issuance of common shares as presented on the Company's unaudited consolidated statements of changes in net assets and unaudited consolidated statements of cash
flows are presented net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $69,790 and $32,643 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Prior
to September 11, 2013, the Company accepted subscriptions on a continuous basis and issued common shares at semi-monthly closings. On September 11, 2013, the Company
transitioned from
semi-monthly closings to weekly closings for the sale of common shares in its continuous public offering. Common shares issued pursuant to the Company's distribution reinvestment plan typically will
be issued on the same date that the Company holds its last weekly closing within a month.

Note 3. Share Transactions (continued)

Share Repurchase Program

The Company intends to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company's board of trustees will
consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase common shares and under what
terms:



The
Company currently intends to limit the number of common shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of common shares it can repurchase with the proceeds it
receives from the sale of common shares under its distribution reinvestment plan. At the discretion of the Company's board of trustees, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from
borrowings and cash from the liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase common shares. In addition, the Company will limit the number of common shares
to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each quarter, though the actual number of common shares
that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company intends to offer to repurchase such common shares on each date of repurchase at a price equal to
90% of the offering price in effect on the date of repurchase. In months in which the Company repurchases common shares pursuant to its share repurchase program, it expects to conduct repurchases on
the same date that it holds its first weekly closing in such month for the sale of common shares in its public offering. The Company's board of trustees may amend, suspend or terminate the share
repurchase program at any time, upon 30 days' notice. The first such tender offer commenced in August 2012, and the repurchase occurred in connection with the Company's October 1, 2012
semi-monthly closing.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

Compensation of the Dealer Manager and Investment Adviser

Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FS Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee of
2.0% of the average value of the Company's gross assets and an incentive fee based on the Company's performance. The Company commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative
services agreement on July 18, 2011, upon commencement of the Company's operations. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears.

The
incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of
"pre-incentive fee net investment income" for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the investment
advisory and administrative services agreement, equal to 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%. As a result, FS Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the
Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.625%. Once the Company's pre-incentive fee net
investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FS Advisor will be entitled to a "catch-up" fee equal to the amount of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the
hurdle rate, until the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.031%, or 8.125% annually, of adjusted capital. This "catch-up" feature allows FS Advisor to
recoup the fees foregone as a result of the existence of the hurdle rate. Thereafter, FS Advisor will receive 20.0% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income.

The
second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon
termination of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company's incentive fee capital gains, which equal the Company's realized capital gains on a
cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the
aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. The Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee, which, if earned, is paid annually. The Company accrues the capital gains
incentive fee based on net realized and unrealized gains; however, under the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the fee payable to FS Advisor is based on realized
gains and no such fee is payable with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized. See Note 2 for a discussion of the treatment of the TRS with respect to the
calculation of the capital gains incentive fee.

The
Company reimburses FS Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company's administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser
of (1) FS Advisor's actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for
comparable services in the same geographic location. FS Advisor is required to allocate the cost of such services to the Company based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues, time
allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Company's board of trustees then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as
compared to the estimated cost to the Company of obtaining similar services from third-party providers known to be available. In addition, the Company's board of trustees considers whether any single
third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Company's board of trustees

compares
the total amount paid to FS Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company's net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.

Franklin
Square Holdings, L.P., or Franklin Square Holdings, the Company's sponsor and an affiliate of FS Advisor, has funded certain of the Company's offering costs and
organization costs. These costs have been recorded by the Company as a contribution to capital. The offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par value on the consolidated financial
statements and the organization costs were charged to expense as incurred by the Company. Under the terms of the investment advisory and
administrative services agreement, upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement, FS Advisor became entitled to receive 1.5% of gross proceeds raised in the Company's continuous public
offering until all offering costs and organization costs funded by FS Advisor or its affiliates (including Franklin Square Holdings) had been recovered. On July 18, 2011, the Company satisfied
the minimum offering requirement. Since inception through September 30, 2013, Franklin Square Holdings has funded $3,143 in offering and organization costs. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid total reimbursements of $0 and $2,051, respectively, to FS Advisor and its affiliates. The reimbursements were recorded as a reduction of capital.
As of September 30, 2013, no amounts remain reimbursable to FS Advisor and its affiliates under this arrangement.

The
dealer manager for the Company's continuous public offering is FS2 Capital Partners, LLC, or FS2, which is one of the Company's affiliates. Under
the dealer manager agreement among the Company, FS Advisor and FS2, FS2 is entitled to receive sales commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of

to offset the liability of Franklin Square Holdings under the expense reimbursement agreement (see "Expense Reimbursement"). Of the $8,702 in base management fees accrued and
payable as of September 30, 2013, it is intended that the entire amount will be paid to FS Advisor. (2)During
the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company accrued capital gains incentive fees of $3,850 and $3,388, respectively, based
on the performance of its portfolio, of which $1,218 and $2,780, respectively, was based on unrealized gains and $2,632 and $608, respectively, was based on realized gains. No such fees are actually
payable by the Company with respect to such unrealized gains unless and until those gains are actually realized. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had accrued $9,379 in capital gains
incentive fees, $6,747 of which was based on unrealized gains and $2,632 of which was based on realized gains. As of December 31, 2012, $953 in capital gains incentive fees were payable by the
Company to FS Advisor, all of which was paid to FS Advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company did not pay any amounts to FS Advisor in respect of the capital gains
incentive fee during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.(3)During
the nine months ended September 30, 2013, $753 of subordinated incentive fees on income were paid to FS Advisor. As of
September 30, 2013, a subordinated incentive fee on income of $98 was payable to FS Advisor.(4)During
the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $1,313 and $399, respectively, of the accrued administrative services expenses related to
the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services rendered to the Company by FS Advisor and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses. The Company paid $1,193 and $342 in
administrative services expenses to FS Advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.(5)Represents
aggregate sales commissions and dealer manager fees retained by FS2 and not re-allowed to selected broker-dealers.


Capital Contribution by FS Advisor and GSO

In December 2010, Michael C. Forman and David J. Adelman, the principals of FS Advisor, contributed an aggregate of $200 to purchase
22,444 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) at $8.91 per share, which represents the initial public offering price (as adjusted for share distributions), net of selling commissions and
dealer manager fees. The principals have agreed not to tender these common shares for repurchase as long as FS Advisor remains the Company's investment adviser.

In
April 2011, pursuant to a private placement, Messrs. Forman and Adelman agreed to purchase, through affiliated entities controlled by each of them, 224,444 additional common
shares (as adjusted for share distributions) at $8.91 per share (as adjusted for share distributions). The principals have agreed not to tender these common shares for repurchase as long as FS Advisor
remains the Company's investment adviser. In connection with the same private placement, certain members of the Company's board of trustees and other individuals and entities affiliated with FS
Advisor agreed to purchase 1,459,320 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions), and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GSO agreed to purchase 561,111 common shares (as adjusted
for share distributions), in each case at a price of $8.91 per share (as adjusted for share distributions). In connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,244,875
common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) for aggregate proceeds of approximately $20,004, upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement on July 18, 2011. As of
October 29, 2013, the Company has sold an aggregate of 3,360,188 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) for aggregate gross proceeds of $30,210 to members of its board of trustees
and individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor and GSO, including common shares sold in the private placement conducted in April 2011.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

FS Advisor's senior management team is comprised of the same personnel as the senior management teams of FB Income Advisor, LLC
and FSIC II Advisor, LLC, the investment advisers to Franklin Square Holdings' other affiliated BDCs, FS Investment Corporation and FS Investment Corporation II, respectively. As a result, such
personnel provide investment advisory services to the Company and each of FS Investment Corporation and FS Investment Corporation II. While none of FS Advisor, FB Income Advisor, LLC or FSIC II
Advisor, LLC is currently making private corporate debt investments for clients other than the Company, FS Investment Corporation and FS Investment Corporation II, respectively, any, or all,
may do so in the future. In the event that FS Advisor undertakes to provide investment advisory services to other clients in the future, it intends to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and
equitable manner consistent with the Company's investment objectives and strategies, if necessary, so that the Company will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of FS Advisor or its
management team.

Exemptive Relief

In an order dated June 4, 2013, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with affiliates of FS Advisor, including FS Investment Corporation and FS Investment Corporation II and any future BDCs
that are advised by FS Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. Because the Company did not seek exemptive relief to engage in
co-investment transactions with GSO and its affiliates, the Company will be permitted to co-invest with GSO and its affiliates only in accordance with existing regulatory guidance.

Expense Reimbursement

Pursuant to an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, dated as of February 14, 2012 and amended as of
May 16, 2013, or, as amended, the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no
portion of the Company's distributions to shareholders will be paid from its offering proceeds or borrowings. However, because certain investments the Company may make, including preferred and common
equity investments, may generate dividends and other distributions to the Company that are treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, a portion of the Company's distributions to shareholders may
also be deemed to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that the Company may use such dividends or other distribution proceeds to fund its distributions to shareholders. Under
those circumstances, Franklin Square Holdings will not reimburse the Company for the portion of such distributions to shareholders that represent a return of capital for tax purposes, as the purpose
of the expense reimbursement arrangement is not to prevent tax-advantaged distributions to shareholders.

Under
the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between the Company's cumulative
distributions paid to its shareholders in each quarter, less the sum of its net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on
account of

21

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)

preferred
and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts are not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) in each quarter.

Pursuant
to the expense reimbursement agreement, the Company has a conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings under
such agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which Franklin Square Holdings funded such amount, the sum of the Company's net
investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio
companies (to the extent not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by the Company to shareholders; provided, however, that
(i) the Company will only reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for expense support payments made by Franklin Square
Holdings with respect to any calendar quarter beginning on or after July 1, 2013 to the extent that the payment of such reimbursement (together with any other reimbursement paid during such
fiscal year) does not cause "other operating expenses" (as defined below) (on an annualized basis and net of any expense reimbursement payments received by the Company during such fiscal year) to
exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of the Company's average net assets attributable to its common shares for the fiscal year-to-date period after taking such payments into account and
(B) the percentage of the Company's average net assets attributable to its common shares represented by "other operating expenses" during the fiscal year in which such expense support payment
from Franklin Square Holdings was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) shall not apply to any reimbursement payment which relates to an expense support payment from Franklin Square
Holdings made during the same fiscal year) and (ii) the Company will not reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for expense support payments made by Franklin Square Holdings if the aggregate amount
of distributions per share declared by the Company in such calendar quarter is less than the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by the Company in the calendar quarter in which
Franklin Square Holdings made the expense support payment to which such reimbursement relates. "Other operating expenses" means the Company's total "operating expenses" (as defined below), excluding
base management fees, incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. "Operating expenses" means all
operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with GAAP for investment companies.

The
Company or Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. Franklin Square Holdings has indicated that it expects to continue such
reimbursements until it deems that the Company has achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that the Company bears a reasonable level of expenses in relation to its income.

The
specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. Upon termination of the expense reimbursement agreement by
Franklin Square Holdings, Franklin Square Holdings will be required to fund any amounts accrued thereunder as of the date of termination. Similarly, the Company's conditional obligation to reimburse
Franklin Square Holdings pursuant to the terms of the expense reimbursement agreement shall survive the termination of such agreement by either party.

Franklin
Square Holdings is controlled by the Company's chairman, president and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, and the Company's vice-chairman, David J. Adelman. There can

assurance
that the expense reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse any portion of the Company's expenses in future quarters.

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company accrued $1,432 for reimbursements that Franklin Square Holdings had agreed to pay. As of September 30, 2013,
the Company had no reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings.

Under
the expense reimbursement agreement, amounts reimbursed to the Company by Franklin Square Holdings may become subject to repayment by the Company in the future. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company accrued $0 and $349, respectively, for expense recoupments payable to Franklin Square Holdings. As of December 31, 2012, the Company
had accrued $1,083 for expense recoupments payable to Franklin Square Holdings, all of which was paid to Franklin Square Holdings during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of
September 30, 2013, no further amounts remain subject to repayment by the Company to Franklin Square Holdings in the future.

FS Benefit Trust

On May 30, 2013, FS Benefit Trust, or FS Trust, was formed as a Delaware statutory trust for the purpose of awarding equity
incentive compensation to employees of Franklin Square Holdings and its affiliates. In connection with the Company's semi-monthly closing occurring on June 17, 2013, FS Trust purchased
approximately $43 of the Company's common shares at a purchase price equal to 90% of the offering price in effect on such date, or $9.675 per share.

Prior
to September 2013, the Company authorized and declared ordinary cash distributions on a semi-monthly basis and paid such distributions on a monthly basis. In connection with the
Company's transition from semi-monthly closings to weekly closings for the sale of common shares in its continuous public offering, beginning in September 2013, the Company authorizes and declares

23

Table of Contents

FS Energy and Power Fund

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)



Note 5. Distributions (continued)

ordinary
cash distributions on a weekly basis, while continuing to pay such distributions on a monthly basis. On September 9, 2013, the Company's board of trustees declared regular weekly cash
distributions for September 2013 through December 2013. The regular weekly cash distributions, each in the amount of $0.012616 per share, have been or will be paid monthly to shareholders of record as
of weekly record dates previously determined by the Company's board of trustees. The timing and amount of any future distributions to shareholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the
sole discretion of the Company's board of trustees.

The
Company has adopted an "opt in" distribution reinvestment plan for its shareholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its shareholders will receive
distributions in cash unless they specifically "opt in" to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional common shares. However, certain state
authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a shareholder's ability to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan.

The
Company may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds available to it, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations,
capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity
investments in portfolio
companies and expense reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions.

The
Company expects that for a period of time following commencement of its continuous public offering, which time period may be significant, substantial portions of the Company's
distributions may be funded through the reimbursement of certain expenses by Franklin Square Holdings and its affiliates, including through the waiver of certain investment advisory fees by FS
Advisor, that are subject to repayment by the Company within three years. The purpose of this arrangement is to ensure that no portion of the Company's distributions to shareholders will be paid from
offering proceeds or borrowings. Any such distributions funded through expense reimbursements or waivers of advisory fees are not based on the Company's investment performance and can only be
sustained if the Company achieves positive investment performance in future periods and/or Franklin Square Holdings continues to make such reimbursements or waivers of such fees. The Company's future
repayments of amounts reimbursed or waived by Franklin Square Holdings and its affiliates will reduce the distributions that shareholders would otherwise receive in the future. There can be no
assurance that the Company will achieve the performance necessary to sustain its distributions or that the Company will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all. Franklin Square
Holdings and its affiliates have no obligation to waive advisory fees or otherwise reimburse expenses in future periods. No portion of the distributions paid during the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 was funded through the reimbursement of operating expenses by Franklin Square Holdings.

(1)During
the nine months ended September 30, 2013, 96% of the Company's gross investment income was attributable to cash interest earned and 4% was
attributable to non-cash accretion of discount and paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, 96% of the Company's gross investment income was attributable
to cash interest earned and 4% was attributable to non-cash accretion of discount.


The
Company's net investment income on a tax basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $50,592 and $8,537, respectively. As of
September 30, 2013, the Company had $938 of undistributed net investment income on a tax basis. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had distributed all of its net investment income on a
tax basis.

The
difference between the Company's GAAP-basis net investment income and its tax-basis net investment income is due to the accrual for GAAP purposes of income on a limited partnership
interest, the tax-basis amortization of organization costs incurred prior to the commencement of the Company's operations, the reversal of the required accrual for GAAP purposes of incentive fees on
unrealized gains even though no such incentive fees on unrealized gains are payable by the Company, the impact of certain subsidiaries that are consolidated for purposes of computing GAAP-basis net
investment income but are not consolidated for purposes of computing tax-basis net investment income,
the inclusion of a portion of the periodic net settlement payments due on the total return swap in tax-basis net investment income and the accretion of discount on the total return swap.

The
determination of the tax attributes of the Company's distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company's fiscal year based upon the Company's taxable income for the full
year and
distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of the Company's distributions for a full year. The
actual tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders are reported to shareholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.

The
following table reflects the share distribution that the Company has declared on its common shares through September 30, 2013:

The
purpose of this special share distribution was to maintain a net asset value per share that was below the then-current offering price, after deducting selling commissions and dealer
manager fees, as required by the 1940 Act, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Company's board of trustees determined that the Company's portfolio performance sufficiently warranted taking this
action.

The
share distribution increased the number of common shares outstanding, thereby reducing the Company's net asset value per share. However, because the share distribution was issued to
all shareholders as of the record date in proportion to their holdings, the reduction in net asset value per share as a result of the share distribution was offset exactly by the increase in the
number of common shares owned by each investor. As the overall value to an investor's position was not reduced as a result of the special share distribution, the Company's board of trustees determined
that this issuance would not be dilutive to shareholders as of the record date. As the share distribution did not change any shareholder's proportionate interest in the Company, it did not represent a
taxable distribution.

Note 6. Investment Portfolio (continued)

The
Company does not "control" and is not an "affiliate" of any of its portfolio companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed
to "control" a portfolio company if it owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an "affiliate" of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

The
Company's investment portfolio may contain loans that are in the form of lines of credit or revolving credit facilities, which require the Company to provide funding when requested
by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had two senior secured loan investments with aggregate unfunded
commitments of $15,601 and three equity/other investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $17,430. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had one senior secured loan investment with an
unfunded commitment of $10,000. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under existing accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. This accounting guidance emphasizes that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be
observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from
sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information
available in the circumstances. The Company classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy as defined by current accounting guidance:

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Level 1:Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:Inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 3:Inputs that are unobservable for an asset or liability.

A
financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As
of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company's investments were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:

The
Company's investments as of September 30, 2013 consisted primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investors. Except
as described below, the Company valued all of its investments by using the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which were provided by an
independent third-party pricing service and screened for validity by such service. Three senior secured loan investments and one subordinated debt investment, for which broker quotes were not
available, were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined the fair value of such investments by considering, among other factors, the borrower's ability to adequately service its debt,
prevailing interest rates for like investments, call features and other relevant terms of the debt. Except as described below, all of the Company's equity/other investments were valued by the same
independent valuation firm, which determined the fair value of such investments by considering, among other factors, contractual rights ascribed to such investments, as well as various income
scenarios and multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. One
senior secured
loan investment and one equity/other investment, both of which were newly-issued and purchased near September 30, 2013, were valued at cost, as the Company's board of trustees determined that
the cost of each such investment was the best indication of its fair value.

the
fair value of such investments by considering, among other factors, contractual rights ascribed to such investments, as well as various income scenarios and multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net
income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. The Company valued its TRS in accordance with the agreements between EP Investments and Citibank which collectively
established the TRS and are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS was based on the increase or decrease in the value of the assets
underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The assets underlying the TRS were valued by Citibank. Citibank based its
valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations
were sent to the Company for review and testing. The Company's valuation committee and board of trustees reviewed and approved the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the assets underlying the
TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly determination of net asset value. To the extent the Company's valuation committee or board of trustees had any questions or concerns regarding the
valuation of the assets underlying the TRS, such valuation was discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS. For additional information on the Company's TRS, see Note 8.

The
Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing service against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its
investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of the Company's management in purchasing and selling these investments, the Company believes that these prices are
reliable indicators of fair value. However, because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported), the Company believes that these valuation inputs
are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company may also use other methods to determine fair value for securities for which it cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices
through its third-party pricing service or independent dealers, including the use of an independent valuation firm. The Company will periodically benchmark the valuations provided by the independent
valuation firm against the actual prices at which it purchases and sells its investments. The
Company's valuation committee and board of trustees reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company's valuation
process.

Citibank Credit Facility

On May 24, 2013, EP Funding, the Company's wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiary, entered into a revolving credit
facility, or the Citibank credit facility, with Citibank, as administrative agent, and the financial institutions and other lenders from time to time party thereto. The Citibank credit facility
provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $175,000 on a committed basis.

The
Company may contribute cash or debt securities to EP Funding from time to time, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Citibank credit facility, and will retain a residual
interest in any assets contributed through its ownership of EP Funding or will receive fair market value for any debt securities sold to EP Funding. EP Funding may purchase additional debt securities
from various sources. EP Funding has appointed the Company to manage its portfolio of debt securities pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement. EP Funding's obligations to Citibank
under the facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of EP Funding, including its portfolio of debt securities. The obligations of EP Funding under
the facility are non-recourse to the Company and the Company's exposure under the facility is limited to the value of the Company's investment in EP Funding.

Borrowings
under the Citibank credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 2.50% per annum during the first eighteen
months of the facility and three-month LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum thereafter. Borrowings under the facility are subject to compliance with an equity coverage ratio with respect to the current value of
EP Funding's portfolio and a loan compliance test with respect to the initial acquisition of each debt security in EP Funding's portfolio.

Beginning
on August 21, 2013, EP Funding became subject to a non-usage fee to the extent that the aggregate principal amount available under the Citibank credit facility is not
borrowed. Outstanding borrowings under the facility will be amortized beginning on November 24, 2014. Any amounts borrowed under the facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest
thereunder will be due and payable, on May 24, 2015.

As
of September 30, 2013, $147,000 was outstanding under the Citibank credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the facility approximates its fair
value. The Company incurred costs of $657 in connection with obtaining the facility, which the Company has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheets and amortizes to
interest expense over the life of the facility. As of September 30, 2013, $540 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

$118,355, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.89%, which includes commitment fees on the unused portion of the facility.

Under
the Citibank credit facility, EP Funding has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other
customary requirements for similar facilities. In addition to customary events of default included in financing transactions, the facility contains the following events of default: (a) the
failure to make principal or interest payments within five business days of when due; (b) the insolvency or bankruptcy of EP Funding or the Company; (c) the failure of EP Funding to be
beneficially owned and controlled by the Company; (d) the resignation or removal of the Company as EP Funding's investment manager; and (e) GSO (or any affiliate thereof or any
replacement thereof approved in writing by Citibank) no longer serving as the investment sub-adviser to the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Citibank may declare the outstanding
principal and interest and all other amounts owing under the facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of default, EP Funding must pay interest at a default rate.

Deutsche Bank Credit Facility

On June 24, 2011, FSEP Funding, the Company's wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiary, entered into a revolving
credit facility, or the Deutsche Bank credit facility, with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, or Deutsche Bank, as administrative agent and the lender party thereto, which provided for borrowings in
an aggregate amount of up to $50,000. On May 30, 2012, August 28, 2012 and October 18, 2012, FSEP Funding entered into separate amendments to the Deutsche Bank credit facility
which increased the aggregate borrowings available under the facility to $100,000, $175,000 and $240,000, respectively. On June 24, 2013, FSEP Funding entered into an additional amendment to
the Deutsche Bank credit facility which extended the maturity date of the facility to June 24, 2014 and consolidated the existing four tranches of commitments under the facility into a single
tranche of commitments with an aggregate principal amount of $240,000.

Under
the Deutsche Bank credit facility, the Company has transferred from time to time cash or securities to FSEP Funding as a contribution to capital and retains a residual interest in
the contributed cash or securities through the Company's ownership of FSEP Funding. The Company may contribute additional cash or securities to FSEP Funding from time to time and FSEP Funding may
purchase additional securities from various sources. FSEP Funding has appointed the Company to manage its portfolio of securities pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement. FSEP
Funding's obligations to Deutsche Bank under the facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of FSEP Funding, including its portfolio of securities.
The obligations of FSEP Funding under the facility are non-recourse to the Company and the Company's exposure under the facility is limited to the value of the Company's investment in FSEP Funding.

Note 8. Financing Arrangements (continued)

Borrowings
under the Natixis credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 2.40% per annum. Borrowings under the facility are subject to compliance with,
among other things, an overcollateralization ratio test with respect to the current value of Energy Funding's portfolio, an interest coverage ratio test with respect to the payments due under the
facility and eligibility criteria with respect to the initial acquisition of each debt security in Energy Funding's portfolio.

Energy
Funding is subject to a non-usage fee to the extent that the aggregate principal amount available under the Natixis credit facility is not borrowed. Any amounts borrowed under the
facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on July 11, 2023.

As
of September 30, 2013, $58,000 was outstanding under the Natixis credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the facility approximates its fair value.
The Company incurred costs of $2,544 in connection with obtaining the facility, which the Company has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheets and amortizes to interest
expense over the life of the facility. As of September 30, 2013, $2,486 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

The
effective interest rate under the Natixis credit facility was 2.98% per annum as of September 30, 2013. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears commencing November 20,
2013. The Company recorded interest expense of $313 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, of which $58 related to the amortization of deferred financing costs and $154 related
to commitment fees on the unused portion of the facility. The Company did not pay any interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The average borrowings under the facility
for the period since the Company commenced borrowing thereunder to September 30, 2013 were $58,000, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.78%, which includes commitment fees on the unused
portion of the facility for such period.

In
connection with the Natixis credit facility, Energy Funding has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements
and other customary requirements for similar facilities. In addition to customary events of default included in financing transactions, the facility contains the following events of default:
(a) the failure to make principal payments when due or interest payments within five business days of when due; (b) Energy Funding becoming an investment company required to be
registered under the 1940 Act; (c) certain events of insolvency or bankruptcy of Energy Funding; (d) the resignation or removal of the Company as Energy Funding's collateral manager;
(e) FS Advisor or any replacement thereof approved in writing by the majority lenders no longer serving as the investment adviser to the Company; and (f) GSO or any replacement thereof
approved in writing by the majority lenders no longer serving as the investment sub-adviser to the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the majority lenders or Natixis (acting at the
direction of the majority lenders) may declare the outstanding principal and interest and all other amounts owing under the facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of

Note 8. Financing Arrangements (continued)

The
TRS was for a portfolio of senior secured floating rate loans and other debt securities with a maximum notional amount of $200,000. EP Investments received from Citibank all interest
and fees payable in respect of the assets underlying the TRS. EP Investments paid to Citibank interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.30% per annum on the full notional amount of the assets
subject to the TRS. In
addition, upon the termination or repayment of any asset subject to the TRS, EP Investments either received from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such asset or paid to Citibank any
depreciation in the value of such asset.

EP
Investments was permitted to terminate the TRS upon prior written notice to Citibank, and no termination fee was payable in connection with the termination of the TRS.

Upon
the termination of the TRS, the Company recognized $9,011 of gains, $2,467 of which represented periodic net settlement payments due on the TRS.

Note 9. Financial Highlights (continued)

(4)The
issuance of common shares on a per share basis reflects the incremental net asset value changes as a result of the issuance of common shares in the
Company's continuous public offering and pursuant to the Company's distribution reinvestment plan. The issuance of common shares at an offering price, net of sales commissions and dealer manager fees,
that is greater than the net asset value per share results in an increase in net asset value per share.(5)The
per share impact of the Company's repurchases of common shares is a reduction to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the period.(6)The
total return for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of September 30, 2013,
adding the cash distributions per share which were declared during the period and dividing the total by the net asset value per share on December 31, 2012. The 2012 total return was calculated
by taking the net asset value per share as of December 31, 2012, adding the cash distributions per share which were declared during the calendar year and dividing the total by the net asset
value per share on December 31, 2011. The total return does not consider the effect of the sales load from the sale of the Company's common shares. The total return includes the effect of the
issuance of common shares at a net offering price that is greater than net asset value per share, which causes an increase in net asset value per share. The historical calculation of total return in
the table should not be considered a representation of the Company's future total return, which may be greater or less than the return shown in the table due to a number of factors, including the
Company's ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet its investment criteria, the interest rate payable on the debt securities the Company acquires, the level of the Company's
expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Company encounters competition in its markets and general economic
conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any previous period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods. The total return as calculated above
represents the total return on the Company's investment portfolio during such period and is calculated in accordance with GAAP. These return figures do not represent an actual return to shareholders.(7)Weighted
average net assets during the period are used for this calculation. Ratios are not annualized. The following is a schedule of supplemental ratios

Overview

We were formed as a Delaware statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act on September 16, 2010 and formally commenced
operations on July 18, 2011 upon raising gross proceeds in excess of $2,500 from sales of our common shares in our continuous public offering to persons who were not affiliated with us or FS
Advisor. We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and has elected to be treated for federal
income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Prior to satisfying the minimum offering requirement, we had no operations except for matters
relating to our organization and registration as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company.

Our
investment activities are managed by FS Advisor and supervised by our board of trustees, a majority of whom are independent. Under our investment advisory and administrative services
agreement, we have agreed to pay FS Advisor an annual base management fee based on our gross assets as well as incentive fees based on our performance. FS Advisor has engaged GSO to act as our
investment sub-adviser. GSO assists FS Advisor in identifying investment opportunities and makes investment recommendations for approval by FS Advisor according to guidelines set by FS Advisor.

Our
investment policy is to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of our total assets in securities of Energy companies. We consider Energy companies to be those companies
that engage in the exploration, development, production, gathering, transportation, processing, storage, refining, distribution, mining, generation or marketing of natural gas, natural gas liquids,
crude oil, refined products, coal or power. This investment policy may not be changed without at least 60 days' prior notice to holders of our common shares of any such change.

Our
investment objectives are to generate current income and long-term capital appreciation. We have identified and intend to focus on the following five investment categories, which we
believe will allow us to generate an attractive total return with an acceptable level of risk.

Originated/Proprietary Transactions:We intend to leverage our relationship with GSO and their global sourcing and origination platform
to identify
proprietary investment opportunities. We define proprietary investments as any investment originated or structured specifically for us or made by us that was not generally available to the broader
market. Proprietary investments may include both debt and equity components, although we do not expect to make equity investments (other than income-oriented equity investments) independent of having
an existing credit relationship. We believe proprietary transactions may offer attractive investment opportunities as they typically offer higher returns than broadly syndicated transactions.

41

---



Table of Contents

Anchor Orders:In addition to proprietary transactions, we will invest in certain opportunities that are originated and then syndicated
by a
commercial or investment bank but where we provide a capital commitment significantly above the average syndicate participant. Our decision to provide an anchor order to a syndicated transaction is
predicated on a rigorous credit analysis, our familiarity with a particular company, Energy industry sub-sector or financial sponsor, and the broader investment experiences of FS Advisor and GSO. In
these types of investments, we may receive fees, preferential pricing or other benefits not available to other lenders in return for our significant capital commitment.

Event Driven:We intend to take advantage of dislocations that arise in the markets due to an impending event and where the market's
apparent
expectation of value differs substantially from our fundamental analysis. Such events may include a looming debt maturity or default, a merger, spin-off or other corporate reorganization, an adverse
regulatory or legal ruling, or a material contract expiration, any of which may significantly improve or impair a company's financial position. Compared to other investment strategies, event driven
investing depends more heavily on our ability to successfully predict the outcome of an individual event rather than on underlying macroeconomic fundamentals. As a result, successful event driven
strategies may offer both substantial diversification benefits and the ability to generate performance in uncertain market environments.

Opportunistic:We intend to seek to capitalize on market price inefficiencies by investing in loans, bonds and other securities where
the market
price of such investment reflects a lower value than deemed warranted by our fundamental analysis. We believe that market price inefficiencies may occur due to, among other things, general
dislocations in the markets, a misunderstanding by the market of a particular company or an Energy industry sub-sector being out of favor with the broader investment community. We seek to allocate
capital to these securities that have been misunderstood or mispriced by the market and where we believe there is an opportunity to earn an attractive return on our investment.

Broadly Syndicated/Other:Although our primary focus is to invest in proprietary transactions, in certain circumstances we will also
invest in the
broadly syndicated loan and high yield markets. Broadly syndicated loans and bonds are generally more liquid than our proprietary investments and provide a complement to our more illiquid proprietary
strategies. In addition, and because we typically receive more attractive financing terms on these positions than we do on our less liquid assets, we are able to
leverage the broadly syndicated portion of our portfolio in such a way that maximizes the levered return potential of our portfolio.

Our
portfolio is comprised primarily of income-oriented securities, which refers to debt securities and income-oriented preferred and common equity interests, of privately-held Energy
companies within the United States. We intend to weight our portfolio towards senior and subordinated debt. In addition to investments purchased from dealers or other investors in the secondary
market, we expect to invest in primary market transactions and originated investments as this will provide us with the ability to tailor investments to best match a project's or company's needs with
our investment objectives. Our portfolio may also be comprised of select income-oriented preferred or common equity interests, which refers to equity interests that pay consistent, high-yielding
dividends, that we believe will produce both current income and long-term capital appreciation. These income-oriented preferred or common equity interests may include interests in master limited
partnerships. In connection with certain of our debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration.

Revenues

The principal measure of our financial performance is net increase in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net
investment income, net realized gain on investments, net realized gain on total return swap, net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments, net unrealized

42

---



Table of Contents

appreciation
and depreciation on total return swap and net unrealized gain and loss on foreign currency. Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and
other investment income and our operating expenses. Net realized gain on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized
cost. Net realized gain on total return swap is the net monthly settlement payments received on the TRS. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value
of our investment portfolio. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on total return swap is the net change in the fair value of the TRS. Net unrealized gain and loss on foreign currency is the
net change in the value of receivables or accruals due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. In future quarters, we do not expect our revenues to include net realized gain on total return
swap or net unrealized appreciation and deprecation on total return swap as a result of the termination of our TRS on May 24, 2013. We may, however, elect to utilize a total return swap in the
future.

We
principally generate revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments we hold. We also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity
or other securities we may hold. In addition, we may generate revenues in the form of commitment, closing, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial
assistance, consulting fees, prepayment fees and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments will be recognized as earned.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of advisory fees and other expenses under the investment advisory and administrative
services agreement, interest expense from financing facilities and other expenses necessary for our operations. Our investment advisory fees compensate FS Advisor for its work in identifying,
evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. FS Advisor is responsible for compensating our investment sub-adviser.

We
reimburse FS Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations. Such services include the provision of general ledger accounting, fund
accounting, legal services, investor relations and other administrative services. FS Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, our corporate operations and required administrative
services, which includes being responsible for the financial records which we are required to maintain and preparing reports for our shareholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, FS
Advisor assists us in calculating our net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our shareholders, and generally overseeing
the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. See "Related Party Transactions" for additional information regarding
the reimbursements payable to FS Advisor for administrative services and the methodology for determining the amount of any such reimbursements. We bear all other expenses of our operations and
transactions. For additional information regarding these expenses, please see our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

In
addition, we have contracted with State Street Bank and Trust Company to provide various accounting and administrative services, including, but not limited to, preparing preliminary
financial information for review by FS Advisor, preparing and monitoring expense budgets, maintaining accounting and corporate books and records, processing trade information provided by us and
performing testing with respect to RIC compliance.

Expense Reimbursement

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is
sufficient to ensure that no portion of our distributions to shareholders will be paid from our offering proceeds or borrowings. However, because certain

43

---



Table of Contents

investments
we may make, including preferred and common equity investments, may generate dividends and other distributions to us that are treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, a portion of
our distributions to shareholders may also be deemed to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that we may use such dividends or other distribution proceeds to fund our
distributions to shareholders. Under those circumstances, Franklin Square Holdings will not reimburse us for the portion of such distributions to shareholders that represent a return of capital for
tax purposes, as the purpose of the expense reimbursement arrangement is not to prevent tax-advantaged distributions to shareholders.

Under
the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse us for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between our cumulative distributions paid to our
shareholders in each quarter, less the sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity
investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts are not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) in each quarter.

Pursuant
to the expense reimbursement agreement, we have a conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings under such
agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which Franklin Square Holdings funded such amount, the sum of our net investment
income for tax purposes, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the
extent not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by us to shareholders; provided, however, that (i) we will only reimburse
Franklin Square Holdings for expense support payments made by Franklin Square Holdings with respect to any calendar quarter beginning on or after July 1, 2013 to the extent that the payment of
such reimbursement (together with any other reimbursement paid during such fiscal year) does not cause "other operating expenses" (as defined below) (on an annualized basis and net of any expense
reimbursement payments received by us during such fiscal year) to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of our average net assets attributable to common shares for the fiscal year-to-date period after
taking such payments into account and (B) the percentage of our average net assets attributable to common shares represented by "other operating
expenses" during the fiscal year in which such expense support payment from Franklin Square Holdings was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) shall not apply to any reimbursement
payment which relates to an expense support payment from Franklin Square Holdings made during the same fiscal year) and (ii) we will not reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for expense support
payments made by Franklin Square Holdings if the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by us in such calendar quarter is less than the aggregate amount of distributions per share
declared by us in the calendar quarter in which Franklin Square Holdings made the expense support payment to which such reimbursement relates. "Other operating expenses" means our total "operating
expenses" (as defined below), excluding base management fees, incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses. "Operating expenses" means all operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with GAAP for investment companies.

We
or Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. Franklin Square Holdings has indicated that it expects to continue such reimbursements until
it deems that we have achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that we bear a reasonable level of expenses in relation to our income.

The
specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. Upon termination of the expense reimbursement agreement by
Franklin Square Holdings, Franklin Square Holdings will be required to fund any amounts accrued thereunder as of the date of termination. Similarly, our conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin

Square
Holdings pursuant to the terms of the expense reimbursement agreement shall survive the termination of such agreement by either party.

Franklin
Square Holdings is controlled by our chairman, president and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, and our vice-chairman, David J. Adelman. There can be no assurance that
the expense reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse any portion of our expenses in future quarters.

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we accrued $1,432 for reimbursements that Franklin Square Holdings had agreed to pay. As of September 30, 2013, we had no
reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings.

Under
the expense reimbursement agreement, amounts reimbursed to us by Franklin Square Holdings may become subject to repayment by us in the future. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, we accrued $0 and $349, respectively, for expense recoupments payable to Franklin Square Holdings. As of December 31, 2012, we had accrued $1,083 for expense
recoupments payable to Franklin Square Holdings, all of which was paid to Franklin Square Holdings during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, no further
amounts remain subject to repayment by us to Franklin Square Holdings in the future.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we made investments in portfolio companies totaling $1,482,687. During the same period, we
sold investments for proceeds of $431,215 and received principal repayments of $155,214. As of September 30, 2013, our investment portfolio, with a total fair value of $1,610,403, consisted of
interests in 86 portfolio companies (29% in first lien senior secured loans, 29% in second lien senior secured loans, 4% in senior secured bonds, 32% in subordinated debt and 6% in equity/other). The
portfolio companies that comprised our portfolio as of such date had an average annual EBITDA of approximately $188.9 million. As of September 30, 2013, the investments in our portfolio
were purchased at a weighted average price of 99.0% of par or stated value, as applicable, the weighted average credit rating of the investments in our portfolio that were rated (constituting
approximately 67.9% of our portfolio based on the fair value of our investments) was B3 based upon the ratings scale employed by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or Moody's, and our estimated
gross annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage, was 8.9% based upon the amortized cost of our investments.
Our gross annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage, represents the expected yield to be generated by us on our investment portfolio based on the composition of our portfolio as of
September 30, 2013. The portfolio yield does not represent an actual investment return to shareholders.

Based
on our regular weekly cash distribution rate of $0.012616 per share as of September 30, 2013 and our public offering price of $10.75 per share as of such date, the
annualized distribution rate to shareholders as of September 30, 2013 was 6.10%. The distribution rate to shareholders does not represent an actual investment return to shareholders and may
include income, realized capital gains and a return of investors' capital. Our gross annual portfolio yield and distribution rate to shareholders are subject to change and in the future may be greater
or less than the rates set forth above. See the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and our other periodic
reports filed with the SEC for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

During
the year ended December 31, 2012, we made investments in portfolio companies totaling $826,011. During the same period, we sold investments for proceeds of $175,782 and
received principal repayments of $68,410. As of December 31, 2012, our investment portfolio, with a total fair value of $701,172, consisted of interests in 64 portfolio companies (29% in first
lien senior secured loans, 10% in second lien senior secured loans, 5% in senior secured bonds, 49% in subordinated debt and 7% in equity/other). The portfolio companies that comprised our portfolio
as of such date had an average annual EBITDA of approximately $504.1 million. As of December 31, 2012, the investments in our portfolio were purchased at a weighted average price of
97.6% of par or stated value, as applicable, the weighted average credit rating of the investments in our portfolio that were rated (constituting approximately 86.8% of our portfolio based on the fair
value of our investments) was B3 based upon the Moody's scale and our estimated gross annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage, was 9.7% based upon the amortized cost of our investments. Our gross
annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage, represents the expected yield to be generated by us on our investment portfolio based on the composition of our portfolio as of December 31, 2012. The
portfolio yield does not represent an actual investment return to shareholders.

as of such date, the annualized distribution rate to shareholders as of December 31, 2012 was 6.19%. The distribution rate to shareholders does not represent an actual investment return to
shareholders and may include income, realized capital gains and a return of investors' capital. Our gross annual portfolio yield and distribution rate to shareholders are subject to change and in the
future may be greater or less than the rates set forth above. See the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and
our other periodic reports filed with the SEC for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of premiums and/or accretion of discounts, as applicable, on investments.


We do not "control" and are not an "affiliate" of any of our portfolio companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the 1940 Act,
we would be presumed to "control" a portfolio company if we owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an "affiliate" of a portfolio company if we owned 5% or more of its voting
securities.

Our
investment portfolio may contain loans that are in the form of lines of credit or revolving credit facilities, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio
companies in accordance
with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. As of September 30, 2013, we had two senior secured loan investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $15,601 and three equity/other
investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $17,430. As of December 31, 2012, we had one senior secured loan investment with an unfunded commitment of $10,000. We maintain sufficient
cash on hand to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

Portfolio Asset Quality

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, FS Advisor uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor
the expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. FS Advisor uses an investment rating scale of 1 to 5. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each
investment rating:

Investment
Rating

Summary Description1

Investment exceeding expectations and/or capital gain expected.2

Performing investment generally executing in accordance with the portfolio company's business planfull return of principal and interest expected.3

Performing investment requiring closer monitoring.4

Underperforming investmentsome loss of interest or dividend possible, but still expecting a positive return on investment.5

Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

The
amount of the portfolio in each grading category may vary substantially from period to period resulting primarily from changes in the composition of the portfolio as a result of new
investment, repayment and exit activities. In addition, changes in the grade of investments may be made to reflect our expectation of performance and changes in investment values.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012

Revenues

We generated investment income of $35,591 and $8,671 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in
the form of interest and fees earned on senior secured loans, senior secured bonds and subordinated debt investments and dividends and other distributions earned on equity/other securities in our
portfolio. Such revenues represent $33,622 and $8,442 of cash income earned as well as $1,969 and $229 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount, PIK interest and accrual of limited
partnership income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cash flows related to such non-cash revenues may not occur for a number of reporting periods or years
after such revenues are recognized. The level of income we receive is directly related to the balance of income-producing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments. We
expect the dollar amount of interest and any dividend income that we earn to increase as the size of our investment portfolio increases.

Expenses

Our total operating expenses were $16,014 and $6,851 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our
operating expenses include base management fees attributed to FS Advisor of $8,722 and $2,232 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our operating expenses also
include administrative services expenses attributed to FS Advisor of $605 and $287 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

FS
Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on performance. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we accrued a subordinated incentive fee on income of $98
based on the performance of our portfolio. We did not accrue any subordinated incentive fee on income during the three months ended September 30, 2012. During the three months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, we accrued capital gains incentive fees of $1,861 and $3,154, respectively, based on the performance of our portfolio.

We
recorded interest expense of $2,755 and $526 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, relating to our credit facilities. For the three months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, fees and expenses incurred with our fund administrator, which provides various accounting

administrative services to us, totaled $201 and $84, respectively, and fees and expenses incurred with our share transfer agent totaled $525 and $201, respectively. Fees for our board of trustees
were $200 and $82 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Our
other general and administrative expenses totaled $1,047 and $285 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and consisted of the following:

We
generally expect our operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to decrease as a percentage of our average net assets because of the anticipated growth in the size of our
asset base. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the ratio of our operating expenses to our average net assets was 1.33% and 2.08%, respectively. For the three months
ended September 30, 2012, the ratio of our net operating expenses to our average net assets, which includes $349 of expense recoupments payable to Franklin Square Holdings, was 2.19%. During
the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, our ratio of net operating expenses to average net assets included $2,755 and $526, respectively, related to interest expense and $1,959 and
$3,154, respectively, related to accruals for incentive fees. Without such expenses, our ratio of net operating expenses to average net assets would have been 0.94% and 1.07% for the three months
ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Incentive fees and interest expense, among other things, may increase or decrease our operating expenses in relation to our expense ratios
relative to comparative periods depending on portfolio performance and changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, among other factors.

During
the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not accrue any amounts for reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings under the expense reimbursement
agreement. As of September 30, 2013, we had no reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings. Under the expense reimbursement agreement, amounts reimbursed to us by Franklin Square Holdings
may become subject to repayment by us in the future. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we accrued $0 and $349, respectively, for expense recoupments payable to Franklin
Square Holdings. As of September 30, 2013, no amounts remain subject to repayment by us to Franklin Square Holdings in the future. For a discussion of the expense reimbursement agreement, see
"OverviewExpense Reimbursement."

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $19,577 ($0.15 per share) and $1,471 ($0.04 per share) for the three months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

We sold investments and received principal repayments of $218,387 and $19,569, respectively, during the three months ended
September 30, 2013, from which we realized a net gain of $660. We realized a net loss of $21 from settlements on foreign currency during the three months ended September 30, 2013. We
sold investments and received principal repayments of $36,251 and $6,543, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2012, from which we realized a net gain of $1,032. During the
three months ended September 30, 2012, we earned $1,077 from periodic net settlement payments on our TRS, which are reflected as realized gains, and realized a net gain of $13 from settlements
on foreign currency.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments and Total Return Swap and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments
totaled $8,670 and $12,352, respectively, and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency was $20 and $46, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
our TRS for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,297. The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the three months ended September 30, 2013
was primarily driven by a general tightening of credit spreads. The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the three months ended September 30, 2012 was
primarily driven by the improvement of certain Energy market fundamentals and tightening of credit spreads.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was
$28,906 ($0.23 per share) and $17,288 ($0.48 per share), respectively.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012

Revenues

We generated investment income of $80,674 and $15,726 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in
the form of interest and fees earned on senior secured loans, senior secured bonds and subordinated debt investments and dividends and other distributions earned on equity/other securities in our
portfolio. Such revenues represent $77,373 and $15,163 of cash income earned as well as $3,301 and $563 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount, PIK interest and accrual of limited
partnership income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cash flows related to such non-cash revenues may not occur
for a number of reporting periods or years after such revenues are recognized. The level of income we receive is directly related to the balance of income-producing investments multiplied by the
weighted average yield of our investments. We expect the dollar amount of interest and any dividend income that we earn to increase as the size of our investment portfolio increases.

We
generally expect our operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to decrease as a percentage of our average net assets because of the anticipated growth in the size of our
asset base. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the ratio of our operating expenses to our average net assets was 3.81% and 5.24%, respectively. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2012, the ratio of our net operating expenses to our average net assets, which includes $1,432 of expense reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings less $349 of expense
recoupments payable to Franklin Square Holdings, was 4.71%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, our ratio of net operating expenses to average net assets included $5,412
and $1,059, respectively, related to interest expense and $4,701 and $3,388, respectively, related to accruals for incentive fees. Without such expenses, our ratio of net operating expenses to average
net assets would have been 2.76% and 2.53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Incentive fees and interest expense, among other things, may increase or decrease
our operating expenses in relation to our expense ratios relative to comparative periods depending on portfolio performance and changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, among other factors.

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we accrued $1,432 for reimbursements that Franklin Square Holdings had agreed to pay. As of September 30, 2013, we had no
reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings. Under the expense reimbursement agreement, amounts reimbursed to us by Franklin Square Holdings may become subject to repayment by us in the future.

had accrued $1,083 for expense recoupments payable to Franklin Square Holdings, all of which was paid to Franklin Square Holdings during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of
September 30, 2013, no further amounts remain subject to repayment by us to Franklin Square Holdings in the future. For a discussion of the expense reimbursement agreement, see

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $44,107 ($0.44 per share) and $6,112 ($0.27 per share) for the nine months ended September 30,
2013 and 2012, respectively.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

We sold investments and received principal repayments of $431,215 and $155,214, respectively, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2013, from which we realized a net gain of $4,081. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we earned $12,736 from periodic net settlement payments on our TRS and
the termination of our TRS, which are reflected as realized gains, and realized a net loss of $11 from settlements on foreign currency. We sold investments and received principal repayments of $73,331
and $31,239, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from which we realized a net gain of $1,586. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we earned $1,564
from periodic net settlement payments on our TRS, which are reflected as realized gains, and realized a net gain of $22 from settlements on foreign currency.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments and Total Return Swap and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments
totaled $5,591 and $11,867, respectively; the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our TRS was $(3,141) and $1,908, respectively; and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on
foreign currency was $(10) and $43, respectively. The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily driven by
a general tightening of credit spreads during the first and third quarters of 2013 and an increase in appreciation during the period of our equity/other investments. The change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on our TRS during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily driven by the termination of our TRS on May 24, 2013, which converted unrealized
gains as of March 31, 2013 into realized gains. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily
driven by tightening of credit spreads as demand for senior loans and subordinated debt increased during such period.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was
$63,353 ($0.63 per share) and $23,102 ($1.02 per share), respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold 78,832,759 common shares for gross proceeds of $826,518 at an average price per
share of $10.48. The gross proceeds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 include reinvested shareholder distributions of $33,607, for which we issued 3,497,589 common
shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we also incurred offering costs of $3,700 in connection with the sale of our common shares, which consisted primarily of legal, due
diligence and printing fees. The offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par value in our consolidated financial statements. The sales commissions and dealer manager fees related to
the sale of our common shares were $69,790 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These sales commissions and fees include $14,471 retained by the dealer manager, FS2,
which is one of our affiliates.

Since
commencing our continuous public offering and through October 29, 2013, we have sold 153,107,198 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) for gross proceeds of
$1,575,896. As of October 29, 2013, we have raised total gross proceeds of $1,596,100, including $200 of seed capital contributed by the principals of FS Advisor in December 2010 and $20,004 in
proceeds raised from principals of FS Advisor, other individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor, certain members of our board of trustees and certain individuals and entities affiliated with
GSO in a private placement conducted in April 2011. As of October 29, 2013, we have sold an aggregate of 3,360,188 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) for aggregate gross
proceeds of $30,210 to members of our board of trustees and individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor and GSO, including common shares sold in the private placement conducted in April 2011.

We
generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of our continuous public offering and from cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments as well as principal
repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. We are engaged in a continuous public offering of our common shares. We accept subscriptions on a continuous basis and issue common shares at
weekly closings. Prior to September 11, 2013, we issued common shares on a semi-monthly basis. Shares are issued at prices that, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees,
must be above our net asset value per share.

Prior
to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the net proceeds from our continuous public offering and from sales and paydowns of existing investments primarily in
cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, consistent with our BDC election
and our election to be taxed as a RIC.

To
provide our shareholders with limited liquidity, we conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to our share repurchase program. The first such tender offer commenced in August 2012, and
the repurchase occurred in connection with our October 1, 2012 semi-monthly closing.

October 2, 2013, we repurchased 156,300 common shares (representing 100% of common shares tendered for repurchase) at $9.675 per share for aggregate consideration totaling
$1,512.

Citibank Credit Facility

On May 24, 2013, EP Funding, our wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiary, entered into the Citibank credit facility
with Citibank, as administrative agent, and the financial institutions and other lenders from time to time party thereto. The Citibank credit facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal
amount up to $175,000 on a committed basis.

We
may contribute cash or debt securities to EP Funding from time to time, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Citibank credit facility, and will retain a residual interest
in any assets contributed through our ownership of EP Funding or will receive fair market value for any debt securities sold to EP Funding. EP Funding may purchase additional debt securities from
various sources. EP Funding has appointed us to manage its portfolio of debt securities pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement. EP Funding's obligations to Citibank under the
facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of EP Funding, including its portfolio of debt securities. The obligations of EP Funding under the
facility are non-recourse to us and our exposure under the facility is limited to the value of our investment in EP Funding.

Borrowings
under the Citibank credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum during the first eighteen months of the facility and three-month
LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum thereafter. Borrowings under the facility are subject to compliance with an equity coverage ratio with respect to the current value of EP Funding's portfolio and a loan
compliance test with respect to the initial acquisition of each debt security in EP Funding's portfolio.

Beginning
on August 21, 2013, EP Funding became subject to a non-usage fee to the extent that the aggregate principal amount available under the Citibank credit facility is not
borrowed. Outstanding borrowings under the facility will be amortized beginning on November 24, 2014. Any amounts borrowed under the facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest
thereunder will be due and payable, on May 24, 2015.

As
of September 30, 2013, $147,000 was outstanding under the Citibank credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the facility approximates its fair
value. We incurred costs of $657 in connection with obtaining the facility, which we have recorded as deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance sheets and amortize to interest expense over
the life of the facility. As of September 30, 2013, $540 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

The
effective interest rate under the Citibank credit facility was 2.81% per annum as of September 30, 2013. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears commencing on
November 12, 2013. We recorded interest expense of $1,029 and $1,163 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, of which $83 and $117, respectively, related to
the amortization of deferred financing costs and $18 and $18, respectively, related to commitment fees on the unused portion of the facility.

We
did not pay any interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The average borrowings under the facility for the period since we commenced borrowing thereunder to
September 30, 2013 were $118,355, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.89%, which includes commitment fees on the unused portion of the facility.

Under
the Citibank credit facility, EP Funding has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other
customary requirements for similar facilities. In addition to customary events of default included in financing transactions, the facility contains the following events of default: (a) the
failure to make principal or interest payments within five business days of when due; (b) the insolvency or bankruptcy of EP Funding or us; (c) the failure of EP Funding to be
beneficially owned and controlled by us; (d) our resignation or removal as EP Funding's investment manager; and (e) GSO (or any affiliate thereof or any replacement thereof approved in
writing by Citibank) no longer serving as our investment sub-adviser. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Citibank may declare the outstanding principal and interest and all other amounts
owing under the facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of default, EP Funding must pay interest at a default rate.

Deutsche Bank Credit Facility

On June 24, 2011, FSEP Funding, our wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiary, entered into the Deutsche Bank credit
facility with Deutsche Bank, as administrative agent and the lender party thereto, which provided for borrowings in an aggregate amount of up to $50,000. On May 30, 2012, August 28, 2012
and October 18, 2012, FSEP Funding entered into separate amendments to the Deutsche Bank credit facility which increased the aggregate borrowings available under the facility to $100,000,
$175,000 and $240,000, respectively. On June 24, 2013, FSEP Funding entered into an additional amendment to the Deutsche Bank credit facility which extended the maturity date of the facility to
June 24, 2014 and consolidated the existing four tranches of commitments under the facility into a single tranche of commitments with an aggregate principal amount of $240,000.

Under
the Deutsche Bank credit facility, we have transferred from time to time cash or securities to FSEP Funding as a contribution to capital and retain a residual interest in the
contributed cash or securities through our ownership of FSEP Funding. We may contribute additional cash or securities to FSEP Funding from time to time and FSEP Funding may purchase additional
securities from various sources. FSEP Funding has appointed us to manage its portfolio of securities pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement. FSEP Funding's obligations to Deutsche
Bank under the facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of FSEP Funding, including its portfolio of securities. The obligations of FSEP Funding
under the facility are non-recourse to us and our exposure under the facility is limited to the value of our investment in FSEP Funding.

Pricing
under the Deutsche Bank credit facility is based on LIBOR for an interest period equal to the weighted average LIBOR interest period of eligible securities owned by FSEP Funding,
with the commitments under the facility bearing interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 1.80% per annum. FSEP Funding is subject to a non-usage fee to the extent that the aggregate principal amount
available under the facility is not borrowed. Any amounts borrowed under the Deutsche Bank credit facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on
June 24, 2014.

As
of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $240,000 and $185,232, respectively, was outstanding under the Deutsche Bank credit facility. The carrying amount of the
amount outstanding under the facility approximates its fair value. We incurred costs of $1,300 in connection with obtaining and amending the facility, which we have recorded as deferred financing
costs on our consolidated balance sheets and amortize to interest expense over the life of the facility. As of September 30, 2013, $440 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized
to interest expense.

fees on the unused portion of the facility.

Natixis Credit Facility

On July 11, 2013, Energy Funding, our wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiary, entered into the Natixis credit
facility with Natixis, as administrative agent and lender, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral agent and custodian, and the other
lenders from time to time party thereto. The Natixis credit facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $150,000 on a committed basis.

We
may contribute cash or debt securities to Energy Funding from time to time, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Natixis credit facility, and will retain a residual
interest in any assets contributed through our ownership of Energy Funding or will receive fair market value for any debt securities sold to Energy Funding. Energy Funding may purchase additional debt
securities from various sources. Energy Funding has appointed us to manage its portfolio of debt securities pursuant to the terms of a collateral management agreement. Energy Funding's obligations to
the lenders under the facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Energy Funding, including its portfolio of debt securities. The obligations of
Energy Funding under the facility are non-recourse to us and our exposure under the facility is limited to the value of our investment in Energy Funding.

Borrowings
under the Natixis credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 2.40% per annum. Borrowings under the facility are subject to compliance with,
among other things, an overcollateralization ratio test with respect to the current value of Energy Funding's portfolio, an interest coverage ratio test with respect to the payments due under the
facility and eligibility criteria with respect to the initial acquisition of each debt security in Energy Funding's portfolio.

Energy
Funding is subject to a non-usage fee to the extent that the aggregate principal amount available under the Natixis credit facility is not borrowed. Any amounts borrowed under the
facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on July 11, 2023.

As
of September 30, 2013, $58,000 was outstanding under the Natixis credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the facility approximates its fair value.
We incurred costs of $2,544 in connection with obtaining the facility, which we have recorded as deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance sheets and amortize to interest expense over the
life of the facility. As of September 30, 2013, $2,486 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

portion of the facility. We did not pay any interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The average borrowings under the facility for the period since we commenced
borrowing thereunder to September 30, 2013 were $58,000, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.78%, which includes commitment fees on the unused portion of the facility for such period.

In
connection with the Natixis credit facility, Energy Funding has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements
and other customary requirements for similar facilities. In addition to customary events of default included in financing transactions, the facility contains the following events of default:
(a) the failure to make principal payments when due or interest payments within five business days of when due; (b) Energy Funding becoming an investment company required to be
registered under the 1940 Act; (c) certain events of insolvency or bankruptcy of Energy Funding; (d) our resignation or removal as Energy Funding's collateral manager; (e) FS
Advisor or any replacement thereof approved in writing by the majority lenders no longer serving as our investment adviser; and (f) GSO or any replacement thereof approved in writing by the
majority lenders no longer serving as our investment sub-adviser. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the majority lenders or Natixis (acting at the direction of the majority lenders) may
declare the outstanding principal and interest and all other amounts owing under the facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of default, Energy Funding must pay
interest at a default rate.

Total Return Swap

On May 24, 2013, our wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiary, EP Investments, and Citibank entered into the
termination acknowledgment pursuant to which EP Investments and Citibank agreed to immediately terminate the TRS Agreement and all transactions thereunder.

The
TRS was for a portfolio of senior secured floating rate loans and other debt securities with a maximum notional amount of $200,000. EP Investments received from Citibank all interest
and fees payable in respect of the assets underlying the TRS. EP Investments paid to Citibank interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.30% per annum on the full notional amount of the assets
subject to the TRS. In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any asset subject to the TRS, EP Investments either received from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such asset or
paid to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such asset.

EP
Investments was permitted to terminate the TRS upon prior written notice to Citibank, and no termination fee was payable in connection with the termination of the TRS.

Upon
the termination of the TRS, we recognized $9,011 of gains, $2,467 of which represented periodic net settlement payments due on the TRS.

Capital Contribution by FS Advisor and GSO

In December 2010, Michael C. Forman and David J. Adelman, the principals of FS Advisor, contributed an aggregate of $200 to purchase
22,444 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) at $8.91 per share, which represents the initial public offering price (as adjusted for share distributions), net of selling commissions and
dealer manager fees. The principals have agreed not to tender these common shares for repurchase as long as FS Advisor remains our investment adviser.

In
April 2011, pursuant to a private placement, Messrs. Forman and Adelman agreed to purchase, through affiliated entities controlled by each of them, 224,444 additional common
shares (as adjusted for share distributions) at $8.91 per share (as adjusted for share distributions). The principals have agreed not to tender these common shares for repurchase as long as FS Advisor
remains our investment adviser. In connection with the same private placement, certain members of our board of trustees and other individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor agreed to purchase

common
shares (as adjusted for share distributions), and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GSO agreed to purchase 561,111 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions), in each
case at a price of $8.91 per share (as adjusted for share distributions). In connection with the private placement, we issued an aggregate of 2,244,875 common shares (as adjusted for share
distributions) for aggregate proceeds of $20,004 upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement on July 18, 2011. As of October 29, 2013, we have sold an aggregate of 3,360,188
common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) for aggregate gross proceeds of $30,210 to members of our board of trustees and individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor and GSO,
including common shares sold in the private placement conducted in April 2011.

RIC Status and Distributions

We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of
the Code. In order to qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute at least 90% of our "investment company taxable income," as defined by the Code, each year. As long as the distributions
are declared by the later of the fifteenth day of the ninth month following the close of the taxable year or the due date of the tax return, including extensions, distributions paid up to one year
after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. We intend to make sufficient distributions to our shareholders to qualify
for and maintain our RIC status each year. We are also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if we do not distribute at least 98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of any capital gain net income,
if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years on which we paid no federal income taxes.

We
declared our first distribution on July 21, 2011. Prior to September 2013, we authorized and declared ordinary cash distributions on a semi-monthly basis and paid such
distributions on a monthly basis. In connection with our transition from semi-monthly closings to weekly closings for the sale of common shares in our continuous public offering, beginning in
September 2013, we authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions on a weekly basis, while continuing to pay such distributions on a monthly basis, in each case subject to our board of trustees'
discretion and applicable legal restrictions. We will calculate each shareholder's specific distribution amount for the period using record and declaration dates and each shareholder's distributions
will begin to accrue on the date we accept such shareholder's subscription for our common shares. From time to time, we may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or common shares
at the discretion of our board of trustees. During certain periods, our distributions may exceed our earnings, especially during the period before we have substantially invested the proceeds from our
continuous public offering of common shares. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions we make will represent a return of capital for tax purposes. A return of capital generally
is a return of an investor's investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from our investment activities and will be made after deducting the fees and expenses payable in connection
with our continuous public offering, including any fees payable to FS Advisor. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to our
shareholders.

We
intend to continue to make our ordinary distributions in the form of cash out of assets legally available for distribution, unless shareholders elect to receive their distributions in
additional common shares under our distribution reinvestment plan. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain taxable to a U.S. shareholder.

(1)The
per share distribution has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the share distribution declared in February 2012 as discussed in Note 5 to our
unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.


On
September 9, 2013, our board of trustees declared regular weekly cash distributions for September 2013 through December 2013. The regular weekly cash distributions, each in the
amount of $0.012616 per share, have been or will be paid monthly to shareholders of record as of weekly record dates previously determined by our board of trustees. The timing and amount of any future
distributions to shareholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of trustees.

We
may fund our cash distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds available to us, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital
gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in
portfolio companies and expense reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions.

We
expect that for a period of time following commencement of our continuous public offering, which time period may be significant, substantial portions of our distributions may be
funded through the reimbursement of certain expenses by Franklin Square Holdings and its affiliates, including through the waiver of certain investment advisory fees by FS Advisor, that are subject to
repayment by us within three years. The purpose of this arrangement is to ensure that no portion of our distributions to shareholders will be paid from offering proceeds or borrowings. Any such
distributions funded through expense reimbursements or waivers of advisory fees are not based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in
future periods and/or Franklin Square Holdings continues to make such reimbursements or waivers of such fees. Our future repayments of amounts reimbursed or waived by Franklin Square Holdings and its
affiliates will reduce
the distributions that shareholders would otherwise receive in the future. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the performance necessary to sustain our distributions or that we will be able
to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all. Franklin Square Holdings and its affiliates have no obligation to waive advisory fees or otherwise reimburse expenses in future periods. No portion
of the distributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was funded through the reimbursement of operating expenses by Franklin Square Holdings.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are
those that require the application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available
information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in
similar businesses. As we execute our operating plans, we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our future financial statements in addition to those discussed below.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

We determine the net asset value of our investment portfolio each quarter. Securities that are publicly-traded are valued at the
reported closing price on the valuation date. Securities that are not publicly-traded are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of trustees. In connection with that
determination, FS Advisor provides our board of trustees with portfolio company valuations which are based on relevant inputs, including, but not limited to, indicative dealer quotes, values of like
securities, recent portfolio company financial statements and forecasts, and valuations prepared by third-party valuation services.

Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or ASC Topic 820, issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board, clarifies the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods
subsequent to initial recognition. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted
prices for identical securities where there is little or no activity in the market; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an
entity to develop its own assumptions.

With
respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, we undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described
below:



Determination
of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the
possible effect of such
valuations and any change in such valuations on our consolidated financial statements. Below is a description of factors that our board of trustees may consider when valuing our debt and equity
investments.

Valuation
of fixed income investments, such as loans and debt securities, depends upon a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates for like securities, expected volatility
in future interest rates, call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt. For investments without readily available market prices, we may incorporate these factors into discounted
cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that our board of trustees may consider include the borrower's ability to

63

---



Table of Contents

adequately
service its debt, the fair market value of the portfolio company in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt and the quality of collateral securing our debt investments.

For
convertible debt securities, fair value will generally approximate the fair value of the debt plus the fair value of an option to purchase the underlying security (the security into
which the debt may convert) at the conversion price. To value such an option, a standard option pricing model may be used.

Our
equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. Our board of trustees, in its analysis of fair value, may consider
various factors, such as multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon
the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or our actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition,
recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.

Our
board of trustees may also look to private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party
investments in the portfolio companies or industry practices in determining fair value. Our board of trustees may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and
weaknesses, as well as any other factors it deems relevant in assessing the value. Generally, the value of our equity interests in public companies for which market quotations are readily available is
based upon the most recent closing public market price. Portfolio securities that carry certain restrictions on sale are typically valued at a discount from the public market value of the security.

If
we receive warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional cost in connection with an investment in a debt security, our board of trustees will allocate the cost basis
in the investment between the debt securities and any such warrants or other equity securities received at the time of origination. Our board of trustees will subsequently value these warrants or
other equity securities received at fair value.

The
fair values of our investments are determined in good faith by our board of trustees. Our board of trustees is solely responsible for the valuation of our portfolio investments at
fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to our valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process.

Our
investments as of September 30, 2013 consisted primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investors. Except as
described below, we valued all of our investments by using the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which were provided by an independent
third-party pricing service and screened for validity by such service. Three senior secured loan investments and one subordinated debt investment, for which broker quotes were not available, were
valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined the fair value of such investments by considering, among other factors, the borrower's ability to adequately service its debt, prevailing
interest rates for like investments, call features and other relevant terms of the debt. Except as described below, all of our equity/other investments were valued by the same independent valuation
firm, which determined the fair value of such investments by considering, among other factors, contractual rights ascribed to such investments, as well as various income scenarios and multiples of
EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. One senior secured loan investment and one equity/other investment, both of which were newly-issued
and purchased near September 30, 2013, were valued at cost, as our board of trustees determined that the cost of each such investment was the best indication of its fair value.

Our
investments as of December 31, 2012 consisted primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investors. Except as
described below, we valued all of

our
investments by using the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which were provided by an independent third-party pricing service and
screened for validity by such service. One senior secured loan investment, for which broker quotes were not available, was valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined the fair value of
such investment by considering, among other factors, the borrower's ability to adequately service its debt, prevailing interest rates for like investments, call features and other relevant terms of
the debt. All of our equity/other investments were valued by the same independent valuation firm, which determined the fair value of such investments by considering, among other factors, contractual
rights ascribed to such investments, as well as various income scenarios and multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. We valued
our TRS in
accordance with the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS was based on the increase or decrease in the value of the assets underlying the TRS, together with accrued
interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The assets underlying the TRS were valued by Citibank. Citibank based its valuation on the indicative bid prices
provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations were sent to us for review and testing.
Our valuation committee and board of trustees reviewed and approved the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the assets underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly
determination of net asset value. To the extent our valuation committee or board of trustees had any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the assets underlying the TRS, such valuation was
discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS.

We
periodically benchmark the bid and ask prices we receive from the third-party pricing service against the actual prices at which we purchase and sell our investments. Based on the
results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of our management in purchasing and selling these investments, we believe that these prices are reliable indicators of fair value. However, because
of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported), we believe that these valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value
hierarchy. We may also use other methods to determine fair value for securities for which we cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through our third-party pricing service or independent dealers,
including the use of an independent valuation firm. We will periodically benchmark the valuations provided by the independent valuation firm against the actual prices at which we purchase and sell our
investments. Our valuation committee and board of trustees reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with our valuation process.

Revenue Recognition

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect
to collect such amounts. We record dividend income on the ex-dividend date. We do not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if we have reason to doubt our ability to
collect such income. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and we amortize such amounts as interest income over the respective term of the loan or
security. Upon prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees and original issue discount are recorded as fee income. Upfront structuring fees are recorded as income when
earned. We record prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when we receive such amounts.

Table of Contents

Net Realized Gains or Losses, Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation and Net Change in Unrealized Gains or Losses on Foreign Currency

Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated by using the specific identification method. We measure realized gains or
losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously
recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including
any reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized. Net change in unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency reflects the change in the value of
receivables or accruals during the reporting period due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee

Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains is
determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement). Such fee will equal 20.0% of our incentive
fee capital gains (i.e., our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized
capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a quarterly basis, we accrue for the capital gains incentive fee by
calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.

While
the investment advisory and administrative services agreement neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive
fee, pursuant to an interpretation of an AICPA Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, we include unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee expense and related
accrued capital gains incentive fee. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to FS Advisor if our entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date
even though FS Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.

In
addition, we historically treated all net settlement payments received by us pursuant to our TRS (which is described more fully in "Financial Condition, Liquidity and
Capital ResourcesTotal Return Swap"), as realized capital gains and included only the aggregate amount of unrealized depreciation on the TRS as a whole in calculating the capital gains
incentive fee payable to FS Advisor with respect to realized gains, in each case, in accordance with GAAP. However, the Staff informed us that it is their interpretation of the applicable language in
the Advisers Act that we should "look through" the TRS in calculating our capital gains incentive fee. Under this "look through" methodology, the portion of the net settlement payments received by us
pursuant to the TRS which would have represented net investment income to us had we held the loans or securities underlying the TRS directly would be treated as net investment income subject to the
subordinated incentive fee on income payable to FS Advisor pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, rather than as realized capital gains in accordance with GAAP, and
any unrealized depreciation on individual loans or securities underlying the TRS would further reduce the capital gains incentive fee payable to FS Advisor with respect to realized gains. FS Advisor
voluntarily agreed to waive any capital gains incentive fee calculated in accordance with GAAP to which it would otherwise be entitled in respect of the TRS if and to the extent that the amount of
such fee exceeds the sum of (i) the amount of capital gains incentive fee determined in respect of the TRS on a "look through" basis under which we treat the reference assets underlying the TRS
as our investments and (ii) the aggregate amount of subordinated incentive fees on income which would have been payable to FS Advisor with respect to the portion of the net settlement
payments received by us pursuant to the

TRS
which represent net investment income on the loans or securities underlying the TRS on a "look through" basis. As of June 30, 2013, the aggregate capital gains incentive fees paid to FS
Advisor in prior periods and accrued as of such date with respect to realized gains in accordance with GAAP were less than the fees which would have been payable in accordance with the "look through"
methodology. On May 24, 2013, we terminated the TRS.

Subordinated Income Incentive Fee

Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FS Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated
incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income, which is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of "pre-incentive fee net investment income" for the immediately
preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, equal to 1.625% per
quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%. As a result, FS Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the
hurdle rate of 1.625%. Once our pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FS Advisor will be entitled to a "catch-up" fee equal to the amount of the pre-incentive
fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.031%, or 8.125% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FS
Advisor will receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

We evaluate our tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with
accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax benefits or liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.
Recognition of a tax benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by taxing
authorities. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not incur any interest or penalties.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into an agreement with FS Advisor to provide us with investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for
investment advisory services under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement are equal to (a) an annual base management fee of 2.0% of the average value of our gross assets
and (b) an incentive fee based on our performance. FS Advisor and, to the extent it is required to provide such services, our sub-adviser are reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on
our behalf. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $8,722 and $2,232, respectively, in base management fees and $605 and $287, respectively, in administrative
services expenses under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $20,087 and $4,284, respectively, in
base management fees and $1,602 and $488, respectively, in administrative services expenses under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. In addition, FS Advisor is eligible to
receive incentive fees based on the performance of our portfolio. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we accrued subordinated incentive fees on income of $98 and $851,
respectively. We did not accrue any subordinated incentive fee on income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. During the three and nine months ended September 30,
2013, we paid FS Advisor $0 and $753, respectively, in subordinated incentive fees on income. As of September 30, 2013, $98 in subordinated incentive fees on income remained payable to FS
Advisor. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we accrued capital gains incentive fees

$3,388, respectively, based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $1,218 and $2,780, respectively, was based on unrealized gains and $2,632 and $608, respectively, was based on realized gains.
As of December 31, 2012, $953 in capital gains incentive fees were payable by us to FS Advisor, all of which was paid to FS Advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of
September 30, 2013, we had accrued $9,379 in capital gains incentive fees, $6,747 of which was based on unrealized gains and $2,632 of which was based on realized gains.

Compensation of the Dealer Manager and Investment Adviser

Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FS Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee of
2.0% of the average value of our gross assets and an incentive fee based on our performance. We commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement on
July 18, 2011, upon commencement of our operations. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears.

The
incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of
"pre-incentive fee net investment income" for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the investment
advisory and

administrative
services agreement, equal to 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%. The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains,
is accrued for on a quarterly basis and, if earned, is paid annually. We accrue this incentive fee based on net realized and unrealized gains; however, under the terms of the investment advisory and
administrative services agreement, the fee payable to FS Advisor is based on realized gains and no such fee is payable with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually
realized. See "Critical Accounting PoliciesCapital Gains Incentive Fee" for a discussion of the treatment of the TRS with respect to the calculation of the capital
gains incentive fee.

We
reimburse FS Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) FS
Advisor's actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that we estimate we would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same
geographic location. FS Advisor is required to allocate the cost of such services to us based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. Our
board of trustees then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as
compared to the estimated cost to us of obtaining similar services from third-party providers known to be available. In addition, our board of trustees considers whether any single third-party service
provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, our board of trustees compares the total amount paid to FS Advisor for such services as a percentage
of our net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.

Franklin
Square Holdings has funded certain of our offering costs and organization costs. These costs have been recorded by us as a contribution to capital. The offering costs were
offset against capital in excess of par value on the consolidated financial statements and the organization costs were charged to expense as incurred by us. Under the terms of the investment advisory
and administrative services agreement, upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement, FS Advisor became entitled to receive 1.5% of gross proceeds raised in our continuous public offering
until all offering costs and organization costs funded by FS Advisor or its affiliates (including Franklin Square Holdings) had been recovered. On July 18, 2011, we satisfied the minimum
offering requirement. Since inception through September 30, 2013, Franklin Square Holdings has funded $3,143 in offering and organization costs. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, we paid total reimbursements of $0 and $2,051, respectively, to FS Advisor and its affiliates. The reimbursements were recorded as a reduction of capital. As
of September 30, 2013, no amounts remain reimbursable to FS Advisor and its affiliates under this arrangement.

The
dealer manager for our continuous public offering is FS2, which is one of our affiliates. Under the dealer manager agreement among us, FS Advisor and FS2,
FS2 is entitled to receive sales commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of common shares in our continuous public offering, all or a portion of which may be
re-allowed to selected broker-dealers.

Capital Contribution by FS Advisor and GSO

In December 2010, Michael C. Forman and David J. Adelman, the principals of FS Advisor, contributed an aggregate of $200 to purchase
22,444 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) at $8.91 per share, which represents the initial public offering price (as adjusted for share distributions), net of selling commissions and
dealer manager fees. The principals have agreed not to tender these common shares for repurchase as long as FS Advisor remains our investment adviser.

In
April 2011, pursuant to a private placement, Messrs. Forman and Adelman agreed to purchase, through affiliated entities controlled by each of them, 224,444 additional common
shares (as adjusted for share distributions) at $8.91 per share (as adjusted for share distributions). The principals have agreed not to tender these common shares for repurchase as long as FS Advisor
remains our investment adviser. In connection with the same private placement, certain members of our board of trustees and other individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor agreed to purchase
1,459,320

Table of Contents

common
shares (as adjusted for share distributions), and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GSO agreed to purchase 561,111 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions), in each
case at a price of $8.91 per share (as adjusted for share distributions). In connection with the private placement, we issued an aggregate of 2,244,875 common shares (as adjusted for share
distributions) for aggregate proceeds of approximately $20,004, upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement on July 18, 2011. As of October 29, 2013, we have sold an aggregate
of 3,360,188 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) for aggregate gross proceeds of $30,210 to members of our board of trustees and individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor and
GSO, including common shares sold in the private placement conducted in April 2011.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

FS Advisor's senior management team is comprised of the same personnel as the senior management teams of FB Income Advisor, LLC
and FSIC II Advisor, LLC, the investment
advisers to Franklin Square Holdings' other affiliated BDCs, FS Investment Corporation and FS Investment Corporation II, respectively. As a result, such personnel provide investment advisory services
to us and each of FS Investment Corporation and FS Investment Corporation II. While none of FS Advisor, FB Income Advisor, LLC or FSIC II Advisor, LLC is currently making private
corporate debt investments for clients other than us, FS Investment Corporation and FS Investment Corporation II, respectively, any, or all, may do so in the future. In the event that FS Advisor
undertakes to provide investment advisory services to other clients in the future, it intends to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with our investment
objectives and strategies, if necessary, so that we will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of FS Advisor or its management team.

Exemptive Relief

In an order dated June 4, 2013, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting us, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with affiliates of FS Advisor, including FS Investment Corporation and FS Investment Corporation II and any future BDCs
that are advised by FS Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. Because we did not seek exemptive relief to engage in co-investment transactions with GSO and its affiliates, we will be permitted
to co-invest with GSO and its affiliates only in accordance with existing regulatory guidance.

Expense Reimbursement

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is
sufficient to ensure that no portion of our distributions to shareholders will be paid from our offering proceeds or borrowings. See "OverviewExpense Reimbursement" for a
description of the expense reimbursement agreement.

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we accrued $1,432 for reimbursements that Franklin Square Holdings had agreed to pay. As of September 30, 2013, we had no
reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings.

Under
the expense reimbursement agreement, amounts reimbursed to us by Franklin Square Holdings may become subject to repayment by us in the future. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, we accrued $0 and $349, respectively, for expense recoupments payable to Franklin Square Holdings. As of December 31, 2012, we had accrued $1,083 for expense
recoupments payable to Franklin Square Holdings, all of which was paid to Franklin Square Holdings during the nine months
ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, no further amounts remain subject to repayment by us to Franklin Square Holdings in the future.

FS Benefit Trust

On May 30, 2013, FS Trust was formed as a Delaware statutory trust for the purpose of awarding equity incentive compensation to
employees of Franklin Square Holdings and its affiliates. In connection with our semi-monthly closing occurring on June 17, 2013, FS Trust purchased approximately $43 of our common shares at a
purchase price equal to 90% of the offering price in effect on such date, or $9.675 per share.

Recent Developments

During the period from October 1, 2013 to October 29, 2013, we sold 11,972,510 common shares for gross proceeds of
$127,331 at an average price per share of $10.64.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2013, 58.0% of our portfolio
investments (based on fair value) paid variable interest rates, 35.7% paid fixed interest rates, 5.5% were income-producing equity or other investments and the remainder (0.8%) consisted of non-income
producing equity or other investments. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments we hold and to
declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we hold. To the extent that a substantial portion of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates would make
it easier for us to meet or exceed our incentive fee hurdle rate, as described in the investment advisory and administrative services agreement we have entered into with FS Advisor,
and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to FS Advisor with respect to our increased pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Pursuant
to the terms of the Citibank credit facility, the Deutsche Bank credit facility and the Natixis credit facility, EP Funding, FSEP Funding and Energy Funding, respectively,
borrow at a floating rate based on LIBOR. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities, total return swap agreements or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries
enter into are based on a floating interest rate, we will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we or our subsidiaries have such
debt outstanding or financing arrangements in effect, our interest expense would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.

The
following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on our interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in our
investment portfolio and borrowing arrangements in effect as of September 30, 2013 (dollar amounts are presented in thousands):

exposure
to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in
interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we
did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

In
addition, we may have risk regarding portfolio valuation. See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
OperationsCritical Accounting PoliciesValuation of Portfolio Investments."

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13(a)-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
September 30, 2013. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable
assurance that we would meet our disclosure obligations.

There
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months
ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
