FS Energy and Power Fund

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share and per share information)

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 are 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, 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 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, 2011, the Company had two wholly-owned financing subsidiaries, FSEP Term
Funding, LLC, or FSEP Funding, which was established on June 16, 2011 and EP Investments LLC, or EP Investments, which was established on June 24, 2011. The consolidated
financial statements include both the Company's accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned financing subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Since
commencing its initial public offering and through November 11, 2011, the Company has sold 2,602,295 common shares for gross proceeds of $25,508. As of November 11,
2011, the Company had raised total gross proceeds of $45,712, 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 sub-adviser to FS Advisor, in a private placement conducted in April 2011 (see Note 4). During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the
Company sold 3,695,545 common shares (including shares sold in the April 2011 private placement) for gross proceeds of $34,344 at an average price per share of $9.29. The gross proceeds received
during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 include reinvested shareholder distributions of $63. During the period from October 1, 2011 to November 11, 2011, the Company sold
1,129,398 common shares for gross proceeds of $11,168 at an average price per share of $9.89.

The
proceeds from the issuance of common shares as presented on the Company's consolidated statement of changes in net assets and consolidated statement of cash flows are presented net
of selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $1,075 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

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

(in thousands, except share and per share information)

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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 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 financial statements as of and for the period from September 16, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010 included in the Company's Registration Statement on
Form N-2 (File No. 333-169679) filed on May 5, 2011. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. The December 31, 2010 balance sheet is derived from the 2010 audited financial statements. 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 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 amount 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 information.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash
equivalents. All cash balances are maintained with high credit quality financial institutions, which are members of the FDIC.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments:The Company determines the net asset value of its 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 the Company's board of
trustees. In connection with that determination, FS Advisor prepares portfolio company valuations using 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, or the FASB, 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.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share information)

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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



Determination
of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, these notes to the Company's financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the
possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on the Company's financial statements. Below is a description of factors that the board of trustees may consider when valuing the
Company's 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, the Company will incorporate these factors into
discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that the Company's board of trustees may consider include the borrower's ability to 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 the Company's debt investments.

Equity
interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market will be valued at fair value. The Company's board of trustees, in its analysis of fair value, may
consider various factors, such as 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. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or the
Company's actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.

The
Company's 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. The Company's 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 the Company's 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.

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

The
Company's investments as of September 30, 2011 consisted primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for
institutional investors. The Company valued all of its investments by using an independent third-party pricing service, which provided prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the
relevant period end that were screened for validity by the service. The Company valued its total return swap, or TRS, in accordance with the agreements governing such arrangement. Pursuant to those
agreements, the loans underlying the TRS are valued based on quotes received from third-party dealers. The value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying
the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS.

The
Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices received 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 the Company cannot obtain prevailing bid and
ask prices through its third-party pricing service. 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.

Revenue Recognition:Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Company records interest income on an accrual basis
to the extent
that it expects to collect such amounts. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if it has reason to doubt the ability to collect such income. Loan
origination fees, original issue discount, and market discount are capitalized and such amounts are amortized as interest income over the respective term of the loan. Upon the prepayment of a loan or
security, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as interest income when it receives such amounts.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation:Gains or losses on the sale of investments are
calculated by
using the specific identification method. The Company measures 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

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee:Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement the Company entered
into with FS
Advisor, the incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments of the Company's portfolio during operations prior to a liquidation of the Company is determined and payable in arrears as
of the end of each calendar year. 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 each calendar year, 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 with FS Advisor 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 for Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, the Company's methodology for
accruing for this incentive fee includes unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee expense and related capital gains incentive fee payable. 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. During the period ended September 30, 2011,
no capital gains incentive fees were earned or accrued.

Organization Costs:Organization costs include, among other things, the cost of organizing as a Delaware statutory trust, including the
cost of legal
services and other fees pertaining to the Company's organization. These costs are expensed as incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred organization
costs of $0 and $167, respectively, which were paid on behalf of the Company by Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., or Franklin Square Holdings, an affiliate of FS Advisor, and have been recorded
as a contribution to capital (see Note 4).

Offering Costs:The Company's offering costs include, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of
the Company's
Registration Statement on Form N-2 relating to its continuous public offering of its common shares. The Company has charged offering costs against capital in excess of par value on
the balance sheet. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred offering costs of $305 and $1,082, respectively, which were paid on behalf of the Company by
Franklin Square Holdings and have been recorded as a contribution to capital (see Note 4).

Income Taxes:The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To
maintain
qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute to its shareholders, for each
taxable year, at least 90% of its "investment company taxable income," which is

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

generally
the Company's net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses. The Company will not
have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any income that it distributes to its shareholders. The Company intends to make distributions in an amount sufficient to maintain its RIC status
each year and to avoid any federal income taxes on income. The Company is also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does 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 for which it paid no federal income taxes.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes:The Company evaluates its 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 liabilities in the 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. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2011, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties.

Distributions:Distributions to shareholders are recorded as of the record date. The amount of distributions is determined by the
Company's board of
trustees on a monthly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.

Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, which provides additional guidance to improve disclosures regarding fair value measurements.
This guidance requires two new disclosures: (1) transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers and (2) a gross presentation of activity
within the Level 3 roll forward. The guidance also includes clarifications to existing disclosure requirements on the level of disaggregation and disclosures regarding inputs and valuation
techniques. The guidance applies to all entities required to make disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The effective date of this guidance is the first interim or
annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim reporting periods within those years. As the Company did not begin formal operations until July 18, 2011 upon satisfying the minimum
offering requirement, the adoption of this guidance, including the gross presentation of Level 3 roll forward information, did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements or disclosures.

In
May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair
Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This guidance represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting
Standards Boards, or collectively, the Accounting Boards, on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Accounting Boards reflected in this guidance have resulted

in
common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term "fair value" and enhanced disclosure
requirements for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The Accounting Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value
measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments to the FASB codification in this guidance
are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is
not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

The Company has entered into an investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FS Advisor. 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
incentive fee consists of three parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals
20.0% of "pre-incentive fee net investment income" for the immediately preceding quarter and is subordinated to a preferred return on adjusted capital, as defined in the Company's
investment
advisory and administrative services agreement, equal to 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized rate of 6.5%. The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital
gains during operations, is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the Company's portfolio during operations prior to a liquidation of the Company and 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 equals the Company's realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and
unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. The third part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the
subordinated liquidation incentive fee, equals 20.0% of the net proceeds from a liquidation of the Company in excess of adjusted capital, as calculated immediately prior to liquidation.

The
Company commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement on July 18, 2011, upon commencement of operations. During the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2011, FS Advisor earned $100 in base management fees. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. As such, as of September 30, 2011, no
management fees have been paid to FS Advisor.

The
Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee on a quarterly basis 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 with FS Advisor neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of realized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an
interpretation of an AICPA Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, the Company includes unrealized gains in the

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (Continued)

calculation
of the capital gains incentive fee expense and related capital gains incentive fee payable. 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, no capital gains incentive fees were earned or accrued.

The
Company also reimburses FS Advisor for expenses necessary for its performance of services related to administering and operating the Company, provided that such reimbursement is
equal to the lower of FS Advisor's actual costs or the amount that the Company would be required to pay for comparable services in the same geographic location, and provided further that such costs
are reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company
incurred administrative services charges of $95 attributable to FS Advisor. Of these charges, $4 related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services provided to the Company by
employees of FS Advisor and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses.

Franklin
Square Holdings has funded offering costs and organization costs in the amount of $305 and $1,249 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
These costs have been recorded by the Company as a contribution to capital. The offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par on the financial statements and the organization costs were
charged to expense as incurred by the Company (see Note 2). Since inception, Franklin Square Holdings has funded $2,120 in offering and organization costs.

The
dealer manager for the Company's public offering is FS2 Capital Partners, LLC, or FS2, which is one of the Company's affiliates. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2011, FS2 retained $171 for selling commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of the Company's common shares.

Under
the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, when the Company's Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC and upon satisfaction of the
minimum offering requirement, FS Advisor became entitled to receive 1.5% of gross proceeds raised until all offering costs and organization costs funded by FS Advisor or its affiliates (including
Franklin Square Holdings) have been recovered. On July 18, 2011, the Company exceeded the minimum offering requirement. The Company paid total reimbursements of $510 to FS Advisor and its
affiliates during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of capital.

In
December 2010, Michael C. Forman and David J. Adelman, the principals of FS Advisor, contributed an aggregate of approximately $200 to purchase 22,222 common shares at $9.00 per
share, which represents the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The principals will not 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, 222,222 additional common
shares at $9.00 per share. The principals will not tender these common shares for repurchase as long as FS Advisor

remains
the Company's investment adviser. In connection with the same private placement, other individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor and certain members of the Company's board of
trustees agreed to purchase 1,444,871 common shares, and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GSO agreed to purchase 555,555 common shares, in each case at a price of $9.00 per share. In
connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,222,648 common shares for aggregate proceeds of $20,004, upon the satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement on
July 18, 2011.

FS
Advisor's senior management team is comprised of the same personnel as the senior management team of FB Income Advisor, LLC, the investment adviser to Franklin Square Holdings'
other affiliated BDC, FS Investment Corporation. As a result, such personnel provide investment advisory services to both the Company and FS Investment Corporation. While neither FS Advisor nor FB
Income Advisor, LLC is currently making private corporate debt investments for clients other than the Company and FS Investment Corporation, respectively, either one, or both, 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. In
addition, even in the absence of FS Advisor retaining additional clients, it is possible that some investment opportunities may be provided to FS Investment Corporation rather than to the Company.

Franklin
Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that, for tax purposes, the Company's net investment income and net
capital gains are equal to or greater than the cumulative distributions paid to the Company's shareholders in each quarter. This arrangement is designed to ensure that no portion of the Company's
distributions will represent a return of capital for the Company's shareholders. Franklin Square Holdings has no obligation to reimburse any portion of the Company's expenses but 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011,
the Company accrued $216 in reimbursements that Franklin Square Holdings agreed to pay. To the extent reimbursements may be needed in the future, there can be no assurance that Franklin Square
Holdings will provide any such reimbursements. Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by the Company's chairman, president and chief executive officer, Michael Forman, and its
vice-chairman, David Adelman.

Note 5. Distributions (Continued)

On
October 4, 2011, the Company's board of trustees declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.02605 per share each, which were paid on
October 31, 2011 to shareholders of record on October 14, 2011 and October 28, 2011, respectively. On November 10, 2011, the Company's board of trustees declared two
regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.02605 per share each, which are expected to be paid on November 30, 2011 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2011 and
November 29, 2011, respectively. 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 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 of the Company.

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 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 following table reflects,
for tax purposes, the sources of the cash distributions that the Company has paid on its common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

The
difference between the Company's GAAP-basis net investment income and its tax-basis net investment income is due to the tax-basis deferral and
amortization of organization and start-up costs incurred prior to the commencement of the Company's operations. The following table sets forth a reconciliation between

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 a full year. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders are reported to shareholders annually on a Form 1099-DIV.

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:

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.

The
Company's investments as of September 30, 2011 consisted primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter
market for institutional investors. The Company valued all of its investments by using an independent third-party pricing service, which provided prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date
of the relevant period end that were screened for validity by the service. The Company valued its TRS in accordance with the agreements governing such arrangement. Pursuant to those agreements, the
loans underlying the TRS are valued based on quotes received from third-party dealers. The value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together
with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS.

The
Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices received from the third-party pricing service against the actual prices at which it purchases and sells its investments. Based
on the results of the benchmark analysis and the Company's experience 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. 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.

The
following is a reconciliation for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining

Note 8. Total Return Swap

On August 11, 2011, EP Investments entered into a TRS for one or more senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank, N.A., or Citibank.

A
TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a
specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. A TRS effectively adds leverage
to a portfolio by providing investment exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing directly in such market. Because of the unique structure
of a TRS, a TRS often offers lower financing costs than are offered through more traditional borrowing arrangements.

The
TRS with Citibank enables the Company, through its ownership of EP Investments, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the TRS, without actually owning them,
in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to EP Investments borrowing funds to acquire loans and incurring interest expense to a lender.

Pursuant
to the terms of the TRS, EP Investments may select one or more loans with a maximum aggregate market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of
$25,000, or such greater amount as may be agreed to by Citibank. Loans proposed by EP Investments to be included in the TRS will be approved or rejected by Citibank, in its sole discretion, on a
trade-by-trade basis. EP Investments is required to initially cash collateralize a percentage of each loan (such percentage to be proposed in each instance by EP Investments
and accepted or rejected by Citibank in its sole discretion) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the agreements governing the TRS. Under the terms of the TRS, EP
Investments has agreed not to draw upon, or post as collateral, such cash collateral in respect of other financings or operating requirements prior to the termination of the TRS. Neither the cash
collateral nor any other assets of EP Investments are available to pay the Company's debts. The obligations of EP Investments under the TRS are guaranteed by the Company.

Pursuant
to the terms of an investment management agreement that the Company has entered into with EP Investments, the Company acts as the manager of the rights and obligations of EP
Investments under the TRS, including selecting the specific loans to be included in the TRS. Accordingly, the loans selected by EP Investments for purposes of the TRS are selected by the Company in
accordance with its investment objectives and strategy to generate current income and long-term capital appreciation. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the TRS, EP Investments may
select any loan or obligation available in the market to be included in the TRS that meets the obligation criteria set forth in the agreements between EP Investments and Citibank which collectively
establish the TRS and are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement.

Each
loan included in the TRS must meet criteria described in the TRS Agreement, including a requirement that each loan be rated by Moody's and S&P and quoted by a nationally-recognized
pricing service. EP Investments receives from Citibank all interest and fees payable in respect of the loans included in the TRS. EP Investments pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to
one-month LIBOR + 1.35% per annum. In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, EP Investments will either receive from Citibank the
appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.

Note 8. Total Return Swap (Continued)

Under
the terms of the TRS, EP Investments may be required to post additional cash collateral, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of depreciation in the
value of the underlying loans after such value decreases below a specified amount. The amount of collateral that may be required to be posted by EP Investments is determined primarily on the basis of
the aggregate value of the underlying loans. The limit on the additional collateral that EP Investments may be required to post pursuant to the TRS is equal to the difference between the full notional
amount of the loans underlying the TRS and the amount of cash collateral already posted by EP Investments (determined without consideration of the initial cash collateral posted for each loan included
in the TRS).

Citibank
may terminate the TRS on or after May 11, 2012. EP Investments may terminate the TRS, in whole or in part with respect to any loan subject to the TRS, at any time upon
providing no more than 30 days, and no less than 7 days, prior notice to Citibank. EP Investments will pay Citibank customary fees in connection with the establishment and maintenance of
the TRS.

The
value of the TRS is based primarily on the valuation of the underlying portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, on each business day, Citibank values
each underlying loan in good faith on a mark-to-market basis by determining how much Citibank would receive on such date if it sold the loan in the open market. Citibank
reports the mark-to-market values of the underlying loans to EP Investments. Each
of the loans underlying the TRS is required to be rated by Moody's and S&P and quoted by a nationally-recognized pricing service. As of September 30, 2011, the fair value of the TRS was $(140).
The fair value of the TRS is reflected as an unrealized loss on the consolidated balance sheet. The change in value of the TRS is reflected in the statement of operations as net change in unrealized
depreciation on total return swap. As of September 30, 2011, EP Investments had selected 7 underlying loans with a total notional amount of $16,433 and posted $7,878 in cash collateral held by
Citibank (of which only $6,870 was required to be posted), which is reflected in due from counterparty on the consolidated balance sheet.

The
Company incurred costs of $9 in connection with obtaining the TRS, which the Company has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheet and amortizes to
interest expense over the life of the TRS. As of September 30, 2011, $8 of such deferred financing costs have yet to be amortized to interest expense.

For
purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company as a BDC, the Company treats the outstanding notional amount of the TRS, less the initial amount of any cash
collateral required to be posted by EP Investments under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in
accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Further,
for purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, the Company treats each loan underlying the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible
portfolio company and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in
accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Note 9. Share Repurchase Program

Beginning with the first calendar quarter following July 18, 2012, and on a quarterly basis thereafter, the Company intends to offer to repurchase common shares on such terms as
may be determined by the Company's board of trustees in its complete and absolute discretion unless, in the judgment of the independent trustees of the Company's board of trustees, such repurchases
would not be in the best interests of the Company's shareholders or would violate applicable law. The Company will conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of
Rule 13e-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the 1940 Act. In months in which the Company repurchases common shares, it intends to conduct
repurchases on the same date that it holds its first semi-monthly closing for the sale of common shares in its public offering. The offer to repurchase common shares will be conducted
solely through tender offer materials mailed to each shareholder.

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

board of trustees, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to
repurchase
common shares. In addition, the Company will not repurchase common shares in any calendar year in excess of 10% of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the prior calendar year,
or 2.5% in each quarter. The Company will offer to repurchase such common shares on each date of repurchase at a price equal to 90% of the current offering price in effect on each date of repurchase.
The Company's board of trustees may amend, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time, upon 30 days' notice.

Note 10. Revolving Credit Facility

On June 24, 2011, FSEP Funding entered into a revolving credit facility, or the credit facility, with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, or Deutsche Bank. Deutsche Bank is the
sole lender and serves as administrative agent under the credit facility. The credit facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate amount up to $50,000 on a committed basis.

The
Company may contribute cash or securities to FSEP Funding from time to time and will retain a residual interest in any assets contributed through its ownership of FSEP Funding. 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 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 credit facility are non-recourse to the Company.

Pricing
under the 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, plus a spread
of 1.60% per annum for the relevant period. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the credit facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be
due and payable, on June 24, 2013.

As
of September 30, 2011, $13,462 was outstanding under the credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the credit facility approximates its fair value.
The Company incurred costs of
$131 in connection with obtaining the credit facility, which the Company has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheet and amortizes to interest expense over the life of
the credit facility. As of September 30, 2011, $113 of such deferred financing costs have yet to be amortized to interest expense.

The
effective interest rate under the credit facility was 1.92% as of September 30, 2011. Interest is paid quarterly in arrears, and commences November 20, 2011. The
Company recorded interest expense of $41 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, of which $18 related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. The Company has not paid any
interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The average borrowings under the credit facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $6,691, with a weighted
average interest rate of 1.91%.

Borrowings
under the credit facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base, pursuant to which the amount of funds advanced to FSEP Funding varies depending upon the types of
assets in FSEP Funding's portfolio. The occurrence of certain events described as "Super-Collateralization Events" in the credit agreement that governs the credit facility, or a decline in the
Company's net asset

below a specified threshold, results in a lowering of the amount of funds that will be advanced against such assets. Super-Collateralization Events include, without limitation,
(i) certain key employees ceasing to be directors, principals, officers or investment managers of GSO; (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of GSO or FS Advisor; (iii) GSO ceasing to
act as the Company's sub-adviser or FS Advisor ceasing to act as the Company's investment adviser; (iv) the Company ceasing to act as FSEP Funding's investment manager, becoming
bankrupt or insolvent, defaulting on certain material agreements or failing to maintain a net asset value above a specified threshold; and (v) the Company, GSO or FS Advisor committing fraud or
other illicit acts in its or their investment advisory capacities.

In
connection with the credit facility, FSEP 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 credit facility contains the following events of default:
(a) the failure to make principal payments when due or interest payments within three business days of when due; (b) borrowings under the credit facility exceeding the applicable advance
rates; (c) the purchase by FSEP Funding of certain ineligible assets; (d) the insolvency or bankruptcy of FSEP Funding or the Company; (e) the Company ceasing to act as investment
manager of FSEP Funding's assets; (f) the decline of the Company's net asset value below a specified threshold; and (g) fraud or other illicit acts by the Company, FS Advisor or GSO in
its or their investment advisory capacities. During the continuation of an event of default, FSEP Funding must pay interest at a default rate.

Borrowings
of FSEP Funding will be considered borrowings of the Company for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs.

Note 11. FSEP Term Funding, LLC

The financial statements of FSEP Funding are maintained separately from those of the Company. The assets of FSEP Funding are pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding
under the credit facility and as such, are not available to pay the debts of the Company. The following is the balance sheet of FSEP Funding as of September 30, 2011:

to update any such forward-looking statements. Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the
SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements and
projections contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

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 are not affiliated with us or FS
Advisor. We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has
elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under the Code. 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.

Our
investment policy is to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of our assets in securities of energy and power, or Energy, related 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 anticipate that our portfolio will be 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 currently intend to
weight our portfolio towards senior and subordinated debt. In addition to investments purchased from other dealers or 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. Once we raise sufficient capital, we expect that
our investments will generally range between $5,000 and $25,000 each, although investments may vary as the size of our capital base changes and will ultimately be at the discretion of FS Advisor,
subject to oversight by our board of trustees. Prior to raising sufficient capital, we may make smaller investments due to liquidity constraints.

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. See "Contractual Obligations." FS
Advisor has engaged GSO to act as our investment sub-adviser. GSO is a subsidiary of The Blackstone Group L.P., or Blackstone. GSO assists FS Advisor in identifying investment
opportunities and makes

investment
recommendations for approval by FS Advisor according to asset allocation and other guidelines set by FS Advisor.



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

We
expect the dollar amount of interest and any dividend income that we earn to increase as the size of our investment portfolio increases.

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 and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments will be recognized as earned. No such fees were earned during the period from July 18,
2011 through September 30, 2011.



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 fee compensates 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
also reimburse FS Advisor for its performance of services related to our administration and operation, provided that such reimbursement must be the lower of FS Advisor's actual costs
or the amount that we would be required to pay for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location, and provided further that such costs are reasonably allocated to us on the basis
of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. We do not reimburse FS Advisor for any services for which it receives a separate fee, or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital
equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of FS Advisor. We bear all other expenses
of our operations and transactions, including (without limitation) fees and expenses relating to:

Portfolio Investment Activity For The Period from July 18, 2011 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2011

During the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011, we made investments in portfolio companies totaling
$38,322. During the same period we received principal repayments of $3,256.

As
of September 30, 2011, our investment portfolio, with a total fair value of $33,544, consisted of interests in 18 portfolio companies. The portfolio companies that comprised
our portfolio as of such date had an average annual EBITDA of approximately $402,400. The investments in our portfolio were purchased at an average price of 98.7% of par value, the weighted average
credit rating of our portfolio was B3 based upon the Moody's scale and our estimated gross annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage, was 8.8% based upon the purchase price of our investments.

Our

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:

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

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

We commenced operations on July 18, 2011, when we raised in excess of $2,500 from persons who are not affiliated with us or FS
Advisor. As a result, no comparisons with the comparable 2010 period have been included. 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. From January 1, 2011 through July 18, 2011, the Company
incurred organizational costs of $167 and offering costs of $777 which were funded by Franklin Square Holdings and recorded as a contribution to capital.

Results of Operations for the period from July 18, 2011 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2011



We generated investment income of $474 for the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011, in the form of
interest earned on senior secured loans, senior secured bonds and subordinated debt in our portfolio. Such revenues represent $412 of cash interest earned as well as $62 in non-cash
portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest for the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011. 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 interest income we receive is directly related to the balance of interest-bearing investments
multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments.



Our total operating expenses were $341 for the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011. Our operating
expenses include base management fees attributed to FS Advisor of $100 for the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011. Our operating expenses also include administrative
services expenses attributed to FS Advisor of $95 for the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011.

FS
Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on performance. No incentive fees were earned or accrued for the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30,
2011.

We
recorded interest expense of $42 for the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011 in connection with our credit facility and the amortization of deferred
financing charges on our TRS. Fees incurred with BNY Mellon Asset Servicing, which provides various accounting and administrative services to us, totaled $21 for the period from July 18, 2011
through September 30, 2011. We incurred expenses with our share transfer agent of $35 for the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011.

Our
other general and administrative expenses totaled $48 for the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011, and consisted of the following:

Table of Contents

We
generally expect our operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to increase because of the anticipated growth in the size of our asset base. During the
period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011, the ratio of our operating expenses to our average net assets was 1.46% and the ratio of our net expenses to average net assets,
which includes $216 of expense reimbursements from FS Advisor, was 0.54%. Our ratio of operating expenses to average net assets includes $42 related to interest expense on our credit facility and TRS.
Without such interest expense, our ratio of expenses to average net assets would have been 1.28%. Incentive fees, interest expense and costs relating to our continuous offering, among other things,
may increase or decrease our operating expenses in relation to our expense ratios relative to comparative periods depending on portfolio performance, changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR
and offerings of our securities, among other factors.



Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that, for tax purposes, our
net investment income and net capital gains are equal to or greater than the cumulative distributions paid to our shareholders in each quarter. This arrangement is designed to ensure that no portion
of our distributions will represent a return of capital for our shareholders. Franklin Square Holdings has no obligation to reimburse any portion of our expenses, but 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. During the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011, we accrued $216
in reimbursements that Franklin Square Holdings agreed to pay. To the extent reimbursements may be needed in the future, there can be no assurance that Franklin Square Holdings will provide any such
reimbursements. Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by our chairman, president and chief executive officer, Michael Forman, and our vice-chairman, David Adelman.



Our net investment income totaled $349 ($0.13 per share) for the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011.



We sold investments and received principal repayments of $3,256 during the period from July 18, 2011 through
September 30, 2011, from which we realized net gains of $62.



For the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
investments totaled $(1,646). The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our TRS was $(140) during this period. The change in
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011 was primarily driven by a general widening of credit spreads
during this period.



For the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011, the net decrease in net assets resulting from operations
was $1,375 ($0.52 per share).

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011, we sold 3,695,545 common shares for gross proceeds of
$34,344. The gross proceeds received during the period from July 18, 2011

through
September 30, 2011 include reinvested shareholder distributions of $63. During the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011, we also incurred offering costs of
$305 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 in our
consolidated financial statements. The sales commissions and dealer manager fees related to the sale of our common shares were $1,075 for the period from July 18, 2011 through
September 30, 2011. These sales commissions and fees include $171 retained by FS2, which is one of our affiliates.

As
of November 11, 2011, we have sold 4,847,165 common shares for gross proceeds of $45,712, 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.

We
generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of our ongoing continuous public offering and from cash flows from fees and interest earned from our investments as well as principal
repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. We are engaged in a continuous offering of our common shares. We accept subscriptions on a continuous basis and issue shares at
semi-monthly closings 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 offering 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.

As
of September 30, 2011, we had $6,190 in cash, which we have invested in interest bearing accounts, and $7,878 in cash held as collateral by Citibank under the terms of the TRS.



On June 24, 2011, our newly-formed, wholly-owned special purpose financing subsidiary, FSEP Funding, entered into a credit
facility with Deutsche Bank. Deutsche Bank is the sole lender and serves as administrative agent under the credit facility. The credit facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate amount up to
$50,000 on a committed basis.

We
may contribute cash or securities to FSEP Funding from time to time and will retain a residual interest in any assets contributed through our ownership of FSEP Funding. 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 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 credit facility are non-recourse to us.

Pricing
under the 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, plus a spread
of 1.60% per annum for the relevant period. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the credit facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be
due and payable, on June 24, 2013.

As
of September 30, 2011, $13,462 was outstanding under the credit facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the credit facility approximates its fair value.
We incurred costs of $131 in connection with obtaining the credit facility, which we have recorded as deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance sheet and amortize to interest expense over
the life of the credit facility.

32

Table of Contents

As
of September 30, 2011, $113 of such deferred financing costs have yet to be amortized to interest expense.

The
effective interest rate under the credit facility was 1.92% as of September 30, 2011. Interest is paid quarterly in arrears and commences November 20, 2011. We recorded
interest expense of $41 for the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011, of which $18 related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. We have not paid any interest
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The average borrowings under the credit facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $6,691, with a weighted average
interest rate of 1.91%.

Borrowings
under the credit facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base, pursuant to which the amount of funds advanced to FSEP Funding varies depending upon the types of
assets in FSEP Funding's portfolio. The occurrence of certain events described as "Super-Collateralization Events" in the credit agreement that governs the credit facility, or a decline in our net
asset value below a specified threshold, results in a lowering of the amount of funds that will be advanced against such assets. Super-Collateralization Events include, without limitation:
(i) certain key employees ceasing to be directors, principals, officers or investment managers of GSO; (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of GSO or FS Advisor; (iii) GSO ceasing to
act as our sub-adviser or FS Advisor ceasing to act as our investment adviser; (iv) our ceasing to act as FSEP Funding's investment manager, becoming bankrupt or insolvent,
defaulting on certain material agreements or failing to maintain a net asset value above a specified threshold; and (v) us, GSO or FS Advisor committing fraud or other illicit acts in our or
their investment advisory capacities.

In
connection with the credit facility, FSEP 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 credit facility contains the following events of default:
(a) the failure to make principal payments when due or interest payments within three business days of when due; (b) borrowings under the credit facility exceeding the applicable advance
rates; (c) the purchase by FSEP Funding of certain ineligible assets; (d) the insolvency or bankruptcy of FSEP Funding or us; (e) our ceasing to act as investment manager of FSEP
Funding's assets; (f) the decline of our net asset value below a specified threshold; and (g) fraud or other illicit acts by us, FS Advisor or GSO in our or their investment advisory
capacities. During the continuation of an event of default, FSEP Funding must pay interest at a default rate. As of September 30, 2011, $13,462 was outstanding under the credit facility. FSEP
Funding was in compliance with the terms of the credit facility as of September 30, 2011.

Borrowings
of FSEP Funding will be considered borrowings by us for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs.



On August 11, 2011, our newly-formed, wholly-owned special purpose financing subsidiary, EP Investments, entered into a TRS for
one or more senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank.

The
TRS with Citibank enables us, through our ownership of EP Investments, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the TRS, without actually owning them, in return
for an interest-type payment to Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to EP Investments borrowing funds to acquire loans and incurring interest expense to a lender.

Pursuant
to the terms of the TRS, EP Investments may select one or more loans with a maximum aggregate market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of
$25,000, or such greater amount as may be agreed to by Citibank. Loans proposed by EP Investments to be included in the TRS will be approved or rejected by Citibank, in its sole discretion, on a
trade-by-trade basis. EP Investments is required to initially cash collateralize a percentage of each loan (such percentage to be proposed in each instance by EP Investments
and accepted or rejected by

Table of Contents

Citibank
in its sole discretion) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the agreements governing the TRS. Under the terms of the TRS, EP Investments has agreed not
to draw upon, or post as collateral, such cash collateral in respect of other financings or operating requirements prior to the termination of the TRS. Neither the cash collateral nor any other assets
of EP Investments are available to pay our debts. The obligations of EP Investments under the TRS are guaranteed by us.

Pursuant
to the terms of an investment management agreement that we entered into with EP Investments, we act as the manager of the rights and obligations of EP Investments under the TRS,
including selecting the specific loans to be included in the TRS. Accordingly, the loans selected by EP Investments for purposes of the TRS are selected by us in accordance with our investment
objectives and strategy to generate current income and long-term capital appreciation. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the TRS, EP Investments may select any loan or obligation
available in the market to be included in the TRS that meets the obligation criteria set forth in the TRS Agreement.

Each
loan included in the TRS must meet criteria described in the TRS Agreement, including a requirement that each loan be rated by Moody's and S&P and quoted by a nationally-recognized
pricing service. EP Investments receives from Citibank all interest and fees payable in respect of the loans included in the TRS. EP Investments pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to
one-month LIBOR + 1.35% per annum. In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, EP Investments will either receive from Citibank the
appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.

Under
the terms of the TRS, EP Investments may be required to post additional cash collateral, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of depreciation in the
value of the underlying loans after such value decreases below a specified amount. The amount of collateral that may be required to be posted by EP Investments is determined primarily on the basis of
the aggregate value of the underlying loans. The limit on the additional collateral that EP Investments may be required to post pursuant to the TRS is equal to the difference between the full notional
amount of the loans underlying the TRS and the amount of cash collateral already posted by EP Investments (determined without consideration of the initial cash collateral posted for each loan included
in the TRS).

Citibank
may terminate the TRS on or after May 11, 2012. EP Investments may terminate the TRS, in whole or in part with respect to any loan subject to the TRS, at any time upon
providing no more than 30 days, and no less than 7 days, prior notice to Citibank. EP Investments will pay Citibank customary fees in connection with the establishment and maintenance of
the TRS.

The
value of the TRS is based primarily on the valuation of the underlying portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, on each business day, Citibank values
each underlying loan in good faith on a mark-to-market basis by determining how much Citibank would receive on such date if it sold the loan in the open market. Citibank
reports the mark-to-market values of the underlying loans to EP Investments. Each of the loans underlying the TRS is required to be rated by Moody's and S&P and quoted by a
nationally-recognized pricing service. As of September 30, 2011, the fair value of the TRS was $(140). The fair value of the TRS is reflected as an unrealized loss on our consolidated balance
sheet. The change in value of the TRS is reflected in the statement of operations as net change in unrealized depreciation on total return swap. As of September 30, 2011, EP Investments had
selected 7 underlying loans with a total notional amount of $16,433 and posted $7,878 in cash collateral held by Citibank (of which only $6,870 was required to be posted), which is reflected in due
from counterparty on our consolidated balance sheet.

We
incurred costs of $9 in connection with obtaining the TRS, which we have recorded as deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance sheet and amortize to interest expense over
the life of the TRS. As of September 30, 2011, $8 of such deferred financing costs have yet to be amortized to interest expense.

Table of Contents

For
purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to us as a BDC, we treat the outstanding notional amount of the TRS, less the initial amount of any cash collateral required to
be posted by EP Investments under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. We may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable
new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Further,
for purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, we treat each loan underlying the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible portfolio company
and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company. We may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable
new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

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 approximately $200
to purchase 22,222 common shares at $9.00 per share, which represents the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The principals will not
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, 222,222 additional common
shares at $9.00 per share. The principals will not tender these common shares for repurchase as long as FS Advisor remains our investment adviser. In connection with the same private placement, other
individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor and certain members of our board of trustees agreed to purchase 1,444,871 common shares, and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GSO
agreed to purchase 555,555 common shares, in each case at a price of $9.00 per share. In connection with the private placement, we issued an aggregate of 2,222,648 common shares for aggregate proceeds
of $20,004, upon the satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement on July 18, 2011.

RIC Status and Distributions

We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify as a
RIC, we must 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 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 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 for which we paid no federal income taxes.

We
declared our first distribution on July 21, 2011. Subject to our board of trustees' discretion and applicable legal restrictions, our board of trustees intends to authorize and
declare distributions on either a semi-monthly or monthly basis and pay distributions on either a monthly or quarterly basis. 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 each 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 may represent a return of capital for tax purposes. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the distributions will be

35

Table of Contents

mailed
to our shareholders. No portion of the distributions paid during the period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011 represented a return of capital for tax purposes.

We
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 the U.S. shareholder.

The
following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we have declared and paid on our common shares through September 30, 2011:

On
October 4, 2011, our board of trustees declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.02605 per share each, which were paid on
October 31, 2011 to shareholders of record on October 14, 2011 and October 28, 2011, respectively. On November 10, 2011, our board of trustees declared two regular
semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.02605 per share each, which are expected to be paid on November 30, 2011 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2011 and
November 29, 2011, respectively. 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
have adopted an "opt in" distribution reinvestment plan for our shareholders. As a result, if we make a distribution, our 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.

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 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. The following table reflects, for tax purposes, the sources of the cash distributions that we have paid on our common shares
during the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

The difference between our GAAP-basis net investment income and our tax-basis net investment income is due to the tax-basis
deferral and amortization of organization and start-up costs incurred prior to the commencement of our operations. The following table sets forth a reconciliation between

The
determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is made annually as of the end of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for

distributions to shareholders are reported to shareholders annually on a Form 1099-DIV.

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 our expected operating plans occur we will describe
additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our future financial statements in addition to those discussed below.

Table of Contents



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 prepares portfolio company valuations using 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 FASB, 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 financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect
of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on our financial statements. Below is a description of factors that our board of trustees may consider when valuing our equity and debt
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 will incorporate these factors into discounted
cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that our board of trustees will consider include the borrower's ability to 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.

Our
equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market will be 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

38

---



Table of Contents

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.

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, 2011 consisted primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional
investors. We valued all of our investments by using an independent third-party pricing service, which provided prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end that
were screened for validity by the service. We valued the TRS in accordance with the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the loans underlying the TRS are valued based on quotes received from
third-party dealers. The value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other
expenses incurred under 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 our management's experience 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. 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.



Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. We record interest and dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent
that we expect to collect such amounts. 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. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any
unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and securities as interest income when we receive such amounts.



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.

Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement we entered into with FS Advisor, the incentive
fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments of our portfolio during operations prior to our liquidation is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year. 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 each calendar year, 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 with FS Advisor 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 capital gains incentive fee payable. 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.



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 liabilities in the 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 the Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2011, we had not incurred 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 period from July 18, 2011 through September 30, 2011, we incurred $100 in base management fees and $95 in administrative services expenses under the
investment advisory and administrative services agreement. In addition, FS Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on performance. During the period from July 18, 2011 through
September 30, 2011, no incentive fees have been earned or accrued.

As
of September 30, 2011, $13,462 was outstanding under the revolving credit facility between FSEP Funding and Deutsche Bank. All such amounts will mature, and all accrued and
unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on June 24, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging
practices.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, which provides additional guidance to
improve disclosures regarding fair value measurements. This guidance requires two new disclosures: (1) transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and the reasons for the
transfers and (2) a gross presentation of activity within the Level 3 roll forward. The guidance also includes clarifications to existing disclosure requirements on the level of
disaggregation and disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques. The guidance applies to all entities required to make disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.
The effective date of this guidance is the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward
information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim reporting periods within those years. As we did not begin formal operations until
July 18, 2011 upon satisfying our minimum offering requirement, the adoption of this guidance, including the gross presentation of Level 3 roll forward information, did not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In
May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair
Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This guidance represents the converged guidance of the Accounting Boards on fair value measurement.
The collective efforts of the Accounting Boards reflected in this guidance have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements,
including a consistent meaning of the term "fair value" and enhanced disclosure requirements for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The Accounting Boards have concluded the
common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and International Financial
Reporting Standards. The amendments to the FASB codification in this guidance are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into an investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FS Advisor. Pursuant to the investment advisory
and administrative services agreement, FS Advisor is paid a base management fee of 2% of average gross assets and an incentive fee of 20% of net investment income, subject to an annualized 6.5%
hurdle, and 20% of net realized capital gains, if applicable. We commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement on July 18, 2011, upon commencement
of our operations. During the three and nine months ended

41

Table of Contents

September 30,
2011, FS Advisor earned $100 in base management fees. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. As such, as of September 30, 2011, no management fees have
been paid to FS Advisor.

We
accrue for the capital gains incentive fee, on a quarterly basis 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 with FS Advisor neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of realized 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 capital gains incentive fee payable.
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 through FS Advisor is not
entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, no capital gains
incentive fees were earned or accrued.

We
also reimburse FS Advisor for expenses necessary for its performance of services related to our administration and operation, provided that such reimbursement is equal to the lower of
FS Advisor's actual costs or the amount that we would be required to pay for comparable services in the same geographic location, and provided further that such costs are reasonably allocated to us on
the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred administrative services charges of $95
attributable to FS Advisor. Of these charges, $4 related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services provided to us by employees of FS Advisor and the remainder related to
other reimbursable expenses.

Franklin
Square Holdings has funded offering costs and organization costs in the amount of $305 and $1,249 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
These costs have been recorded by us as a contribution to capital. The offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par on the financial statements and the organization costs were charged
to expense as incurred by us (see Note 2). Since inception, Franklin Square Holdings has funded $2,120 in offering and organization costs.

The
dealer manager for our public offering is FS2, which is one of our affiliates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, FS2 retained $171
for selling commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of our common shares.

Under
the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, when our Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC and upon satisfaction of the minimum
offering requirement, FS Advisor became entitled to receive 1.5% of gross proceeds raised until all offering costs and organization costs funded by FS Advisor or its affiliates (including Franklin
Square Holdings) have been recovered. On July 18, 2011, we exceeded our minimum offering requirement. We paid total reimbursements of $510 to FS Advisor and its affiliates during the nine
months ended September 30, 2011. The reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of capital.

In
December 2010, Michael C. Forman and David J. Adelman, the principals of FS Advisor, contributed an aggregate of approximately $200 to purchase 22,222 common shares at $9.00 per
share, which represents the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The principals will not 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, 222,222 additional common
shares at $9.00 per share. The principals will not tender these common shares for repurchase as long as FS Advisor remains our investment adviser. In connection with the same private placement, other
individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor and certain members of our board of trustees agreed to purchase 1,444,871 common shares, and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GSO
agreed to purchase 555,555 common shares, in each case at a price of $9.00 per share. In connection with the private

42

Table of Contents

placement,
we issued an aggregate of 2,222,648 common shares for aggregate proceeds of $20,004, upon the satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement on July 18, 2011.

FS
Advisor's senior management team is comprised of the same personnel as the senior management team of FB Income Advisor, LLC, the investment adviser to Franklin Square Holdings'
other affiliated BDC, FS Investment Corporation. As a result, such personnel provide investment advisory services to both us and FS Investment Corporation. While neither FS Advisor nor FB Income
Advisor, LLC is currently making private corporate debt investments for clients other than us and FS Investment Corporation, respectively, either one, or both, 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. In addition, even in the absence of
FS Advisor retaining additional
clients, it is possible that some investment opportunities may be provided to FS Investment Corporation rather than to us.

Franklin
Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that, for tax purposes, our net investment income and net capital gains are
equal to or greater than the cumulative distributions paid to our shareholders in each quarter. This arrangement is designed to ensure that no portion of our distributions will represent a return of
capital for our shareholders. Franklin Square Holdings has no obligation to reimburse any portion of our expenses but 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we accrued $216 in reimbursements that Franklin Square Holdings agreed to pay.
To the extent reimbursements may be needed in the future, there can be no assurance that Franklin Square Holdings will provide any such reimbursements. Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by our
chairman, president and chief executive officer, Michael Forman, and our vice-chairman, David Adelman.

On
September 22, 2011, Michael Forman, our president, chief executive officer and chairman, transferred certain real estate interests to an entity controlled by Thomas J. Gravina,
one of our trustees. In connection with the transaction, Mr. Forman will own a minority interest in the entity to which the real estate assets were transferred and will also serve as a director
of such entity.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2011, 10 of our portfolio
investments paid variable interest rates and the remainder (eight) paid fixed interest rates. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable
to our debt investments, especially to the extent that we predominantly hold variable rate investments, and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we hold. To the extent that a
majority 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 preferred return, as defined 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 also to the amount of
incentive fees payable to FS Advisor with respect to our increased pre-incentive fee net investment income.

On
June 24, 2011, Deutsche Bank agreed to provide a $50,000 revolving credit facility to FSEP Funding, our wholly-owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms of the facility, FSEP
Funding borrows at a floating rate based on LIBOR. Under the terms of the TRS between EP Investments and Citibank, EP Investments pays fees to Citibank at a floating rate based on LIBOR in exchange
for the right to receive the economic benefit of one or more loans having a maximum notional amount of $25,000, or such greater amount as may be agreed to by Citibank. We expect any future credit
facilities, total

Table of Contents

return
swap agreements or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries may enter into will also be based on a floating interest rate. As a result, we are subject to risks relating
to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates, when we or our subsidiaries have debt outstanding or swap agreements 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, 2011:

We
expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and long-term debt. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management
techniques in an effort to minimize our 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, 2011, 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.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the
disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As
required by Rule 13a-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, 2011. 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 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during
the three months ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened
against us. From time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our
portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon our financial

Not applicable.

Item 4.    Reserved.

agreement has an initial term ending November 16, 2014, which shall automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless a written notice of non-renewal is delivered
by the non-renewing party no later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the term.
