We reference materials on our website, www.greatelmcc.com, but nothing on our website shall be deemed incorporated by reference or otherwise contained in this report.

Item 1. Financial Statements.

The financial statements listed in the index to financial statements immediately following the signature page to this report are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

We are a business development company (“BDC”) that seeks to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. Our investment focus is on debt obligations of middle-market companies. We invest primarily in the debt of middle-market companies as well as small businesses, generally in the form of senior secured and unsecured notes, as well as in senior secured loans, junior loans and mezzanine debt. We will from time to time make equity investments as part of restructuring credits and in rare instances reserve the right to make equity investments directly.

On September 27, 2016, we and Great Elm Capital Management, Inc. (“GECM”), our external manager, entered into an Investment Management Agreement and an Administration Agreement, and, upon closing the Merger, we began to accrue obligations to our external investment manager under those agreements.

Beginning with our tax year starting October 1, 2016, we intend to elect to be treated as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, we will not be taxed on our income to the extent that we distribute such income each year and satisfy other applicable income tax requirements. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and annually distribute to our stockholders generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income on a timely basis. If we qualify as a RIC, we generally will not have to pay corporate level taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders.

Formation Transactions

On June 23, 2016, we entered into the Subscription Agreement, under which:

▪

On June 23, 2016, Great Elm Capital Group, Inc. (“GEC”) contributed $30,000 in exchange for 1,966,667 shares of our common stock.

▪

On September 27, 2016 before we elected to be a BDC, funds (the “MAST Funds”) managed by MAST Capital Management, LLC (“MAST”) contributed to us the Initial GECC Portfolio that we valued at $90,000 in exchange for 5,935,800 shares of our common stock.

For financial reporting purposes, we have accounted for the contribution of the Initial GECC Portfolio as an asset acquisition per Topic 805, Business Combinations, of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). For tax purposes, we recorded our basis in the Initial GECC Portfolio at the fair market value of the Initial GECC Portfolio as of the date of contribution.

Under the Subscription Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, we became obligated to reimburse the costs incurred by GEC and the MAST Funds in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement.

Following the closing of the Merger, we entered into a registration rights agreement with GEC and the MAST Funds.

Full Circle Merger

On June 23, 2016, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Full Circle Capital Corporation (“Full Circle”). On November 3, 2016:

▪

Full Circle merged into us (the “Merger”) resulting in our acquisition, by operation of the Merger, of Full Circle’s portfolio that we valued at $74,658 at November 3, 2016;

▪

We became obligated to issue an aggregate of 4,986,585 shares of our common stock to former Full Circle stockholders; and

▪

Our exchange agent paid a $5,393 special cash dividend to former Full Circle stockholders.

We accounted for the Merger as a business combination under ASC Topic 805 and Regulation S-X’s purchase accounting guidance. GECC was designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. The difference between the fair value of Full Circle’s net assets and the consideration was recorded as a purchase accounting loss because the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the date of the Merger, was less than that of the merger consideration paid.

Investments

Our level of investment activity varies substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including, among others, the amount of debt and equity capital available from other sources to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity, pricing in the high yield and leveraged loan credit markets, our expectations of future investment opportunities, the general economic environment as well as the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.

As a BDC, our investments and the composition of our portfolio are required to comply with regulatory requirements.

Revenues

We generate revenue primarily from interest on the debt investments that we hold. We also may generate revenue from dividends on the equity investments that we hold, capital gains on the disposition of investments, and lease, fee, and other income. Our investments in fixed income instruments generally have an expected maturity of three to five years, although we have no lower or upper constraint on maturity. Our debt investments generally pay interest quarterly or semi-annually. Payments of principal of our debt investments may be amortized over the stated term of the investment, deferred for several years or due entirely at maturity. In some cases, our debt investments and preferred stock investments may defer payments of cash interest or dividends or pay in kind (“PIK”). In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of prepayment fees, commitment, origination, due diligence fees, end-of-term or exit fees, fees for providing significant managerial assistance, consulting fees and other investment related income.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of a base management fee, administration fees (including the allocable portion of overhead under the administration agreement), and, depending on our operating results, an incentive fee. The base management fee and incentive fee remunerates GECM for work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. Our administration agreement provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred for office space rental, office equipment and utilities allocable to us under the Administration Agreement, as well as costs and expenses incurred relating to non-investment advisory, administrative or operating services provided by GECM or its affiliates to us. We also bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions. Our expenses include interest on our outstanding indebtedness.

Critical Accounting Policies

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

We value our portfolio investments at fair value based upon the principles and methods of valuation set forth in policies adopted by our board of directors (our “Board”). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset that (1) are independent of us; (2) are knowledgeable, having a reasonable understanding about the asset based on all available information (including information that might be obtained through due diligence efforts that are usual and customary); (3) are able to transact for the asset; and (4) are willing to transact for the asset (that is, they are motivated but not forced or otherwise compelled to do so).

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations unless the quotations are deemed not to represent fair value. We generally obtain market quotations from recognized exchanges, market quotation systems, independent pricing services or one or more broker-dealers or market makers. Short term debt investments with remaining maturities within ninety days are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Debt and equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, are valued at fair value using a valuation process consistent with our Board-approved policy. Our Board approves in good faith the valuation of our portfolio as of the end of each quarter. Due to the inherent uncertainty and subjectivity of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events may impact the market quotations used to value some of our investments.

The valuation process approved by our Board with respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value is as follows:

▪

The investment professionals of GECM provide recent portfolio company financial statements and other reporting materials to independent valuation firms approved by our Board;

▪

Such firms evaluate this information along with relevant observable market data to conduct independent appraisals each quarter, and their preliminary valuation conclusions are documented, discussed and iterated on with senior management of GECM;

▪

The fair value of smaller investments comprising in the aggregate less than 5% of our total capitalization may be determined by GECM in good faith in accordance with our valuation policy without the employment of an independent valuation firm; and

▪

Our audit committee recommends, and our Board determines, the fair value of the investments in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of GECM, our independent valuation firms (to the extent applicable) and the business judgment of our audit committee and our Board, respectively.

Those investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in determining the fair value of our investments include, as relevant and among other factors: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables; applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, merger and acquisition comparables; and enterprise values.

We prefer the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in our valuation process. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset, including assumptions about risk. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Our investments may be categorized based on the types of inputs used in their valuation. The level in the GAAP valuation hierarchy in which an investment falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation of the investment in its entirety. Investments are classified by GAAP into the three broad levels as follows:

Level 1

Investments valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Level 2

Investments valued using other unadjusted observable market inputs, e.g. quoted prices for our securities in markets that are not active or quotes for comparable instruments.

Level 3

Investments that are valued using quotes for our securities or comparable instruments and other observable market data to the extent available, but which also take into consideration one or more unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation taken as a whole.

All Level 3 investments that comprise more than 5% of the investments of the fund are valued by independent third parties.

Revenue Recognition

Interest and dividend income, including PIK income, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees, including original issue discounts (“OID”), earned with respect to capital commitments are generally amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment, as are end-of-term or exit fees receivable upon repayment of a debt investment if such fees are fixed in nature. Other fees, including certain amendment fees, prepayment fees and commitment fees on broken deals, and end-of-term or exit fees that have a contingency feature or are variable in nature are recognized as earned. Prepayment fees and similar income due upon the early repayment of a loan or debt security are recognized when earned and are included in interest income.

We may purchase debt investments at a discount to their face value. Discounts on the acquisition of corporate debt instruments are generally amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method, unless there are material questions as to collectability. For debt instruments where we are amortizing OID, when principal payments on the debt instrument are received in an amount in excess of the debt instrument’s amortized cost, the excess principal payments are recorded as interest income.

Net Realized Gains (Losses) and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale of an investment and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Realized gains and losses are computed using the first-in first-out method. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the net change in portfolio investment values and portfolio investment cost bases during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

The cap on costs will be determined after completion of the year ending November 4, 2017.

Interest expense for the period was $1,262 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $7,572.

Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded net realized gains of $3,361, primarily in connection with our disposition of our investment in JN Medical, which resulted in a $1,007 gain, and our sale of our position in Everi Payments, which resulted in realized gains of $1,134. We also realized gains of $341 on the sale of our Chester Downs bonds, $366 on prepayments of our loan to Sonifi Solutions, and $281 on the sale of our Trilogy International bonds.

Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments

Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments was ($10,021) for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2017, we had approximately $4,869 of cash and cash equivalents, none of which was restricted in nature. At June 30, 2017, we also had $53,990 invested in a money market fund that is classified as an investment rather than cash and cash equivalents.

At June 30, 2017, we had investments in debt securities of 17 companies, totaling approximately $131,227 at fair value and equity investments in seven companies, totaling approximately $403 at fair value. $4,256 of cumulative accrued PIK income is included in carrying value of our investments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of net purchases of investments and the items described in “Results of Operations,” was approximately $40,556, reflecting the purchases and repayments of investments, net investment income resulting from operations, offset by non-cash income related to OID and PIK income, changes in working capital and accrued interest receivable. Net cash provided by purchases and sales of investments was approximately $19,081, reflecting principal repayments and sales of $116,328, offset by additional investments of $97,247. Such amounts included draws and repayments on revolving credit facilities. Our Board previously set our distribution rate at $0.083 per share per month and we intend to re-evaluate our dividend rate from time to time.

Stock Buyback Program

We have implemented a stock buyback program through May 2018 pursuant to Rule 10b5‑1 of the Exchange Act to repurchase our shares in an aggregate amount of up to $15,000 at market prices at any time our shares trade below 90% of NAV, subject to our compliance with our liquidity, covenant, leverage and regulatory requirements. Our Board has increased the overall size of the stock buyback program by a further $35,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Notes Payable.

On November 3, 2016, we assumed approximately $33,646 in aggregate principal amount of Full Circle’s 8.25% Notes due June 30, 2020 (the “Notes”). The Notes are our unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries or financing vehicles. Interest on the Notes is paid quarterly in arrears at a rate of 8.25% per annum. The Notes mature on June 30, 2020 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option. The Notes are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the trading symbol “FULLL” with a par value of $25.00 per share.

We have filed a registration statement with respect to our offer and sale of new senior unsecured notes to refinance the Notes.

Recent Developments

In July 2017, we purchased $5.0 million par value of Tru Taj, LLC bonds at a price of approximately 97% of par value. Such debt security bears interest at a rate of 12.00% and matures August 15, 2021.

In July and August, we purchased an additional $5.0 million par value of the loan to Commercial Barge Line Company at an average price of approximately 88% of par value. Such debt security bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 8.75%, which was 9.79% as of June 30, 2017, and matures on November 12, 2020. Including these additional acquisitions, we now have a position size of approximately $6.9 million par value of the loan.

Our Board declared the monthly distributions for the fourth quarter of 2017 at an annual rate of approximately 7.50% of NAV, which equates to $0.083 per month. The schedule of distribution payments is as follows:

Month	Rate		Record Date	Payable Date
October	$	0.083	October 31, 2017	November 15, 2017
November	$	0.083	November 30, 2017	December 15, 2017
December	$	0.083	December 29, 2017	January 16, 2018

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2017, 7 debt investments in our portfolio bore interest at a fixed rate, and the remaining 13 debt investments were at variable rates, representing approximately $67,444 and $63,783 in debt at fair value, respectively. The variable rates are based upon LIBOR.

To illustrate the potential impact of a change in the underlying interest rate on our net investment income, we have assumed a 1%, 2%, and 3% increase and 1%, 2%, and 3% decrease in the underlying LIBOR rate, and no other change in our portfolio as of June 30, 2017. We have also assumed there are no outstanding floating rate borrowings by the Company. See the below table for the effect the rate changes would have on net investment income.

LIBOR Increase (Decrease)			Increase (decrease) of Net Investment Income
	3.00	%	$	1,999
	2.00	%	$	1,343
	1.00	%	$	687
	-1.00	%	$	(264	)
	-2.00	%	$	(308	)
	-3.00	%	$	(308	)

This analysis does not adjust for changes in the credit quality, size and composition of our portfolio, and other business developments that could affect the net increase in net assets resulting from operations. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the results under this hypothetical analysis.

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2017, we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings 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 timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized 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 necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we or GECM may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. See Note 6 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K (File No. 814-01211).

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In the prospectus for the Merger, we announced that we would initiate a stock buyback program in an aggregate amount of $15,000. This program expires in May 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we purchased 1,222,325 shares under our stock buyback program and our tender offer, at a weighted average price of $11.41 per share. As of August 11, 2017 we have cumulatively purchased 513,138 shares under our stock buyback program at a weighted average price of $11.12 per share, resulting in $5,708 of cumulative cash paid, under the program since November 4, 2016.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned, or previously wholly-owned, subsidiaries TransAmerican Asset Servicing Group, Inc., PE Facility Solutions, LLC, Double Deuce Lodging LLC, and FC Shale Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition. Interest and dividend income, including income paid in kind, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees, including original issue discounts, earned with respect to capital commitments, are generally amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment, as are end-of-term or exit fees receivable upon repayment of a debt investment if such fees are fixed in nature. The Company currently has no investments with fixed exit fees. Other fees, including certain amendment fees,

F-16

prepayment fees and commitment fees on broken deals, and end-of-term or exit fees that have a contingency feature or are variable in nature are recognized as earned. Prepayment fees and similar income due upon the early repayment of a loan or debt security are generally included in interest income.

Certain of the Company’s debt investments were purchased at a discount to par as a result of the underlying credit risks and financial results of the issuer, as well as general market factors that influence the financial markets as a whole. Discounts on the acquisition of corporate debt instruments are generally amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method assuming there are no material questions as to collectability. For debt instruments where the Company received original issue discounts, when principal payments on the debt instrument are received in an amount in excess of the debt instrument’s amortized cost, the excess principal payments are recorded as interest income.

Net Realized Gains (Losses) and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation). The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale of an investment and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Realized gains and losses are computed using the first-in first-out method. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the net change in portfolio investment values and portfolio investment cost bases during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.

Organization and Merger Related Costs. Organization and Merger-related costs, including costs relating to the formation and incorporation of the business were deemed to be incurred by the Company only subsequent to the Merger being completed.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents typically consist of bank demand deposits.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments. The Company carries its investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is generally based on quoted market prices provided by independent pricing services, broker or dealer quotations or alternative price sources. In the absence of quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative price sources, investments are measured at fair value as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”).

Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a ready market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material. See Note 4.

The Company values its portfolio investments at fair value based upon the principles and methods of valuation set forth in policies adopted by the Board of Directors. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset that (1) are independent of the Company, (2) are knowledgeable, having a reasonable understanding about the asset based on all available information (including information that might be obtained through due diligence efforts that are usual and customary), (3) are able to transact for the asset, and (4) are willing to transact for the asset (that is, they are motivated but not forced or otherwise compelled to do so).

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations unless the quotations are deemed not to represent fair value. The Company generally obtains market quotations from recognized exchanges, market quotation systems, independent pricing services or one or more broker-dealers or market makers. Short term debt investments with remaining maturities within ninety days are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Debt and equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available, which is the case for many of the Company’s investments, or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, are valued at fair value using a consistently applied valuation process in accordance with the Company’s documented

F-17

valuation policy that has been reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors, who also approve in good faith the valuation of such securities as of the end of each quarter. Due to the inherent uncertainty and subjectivity of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events may have differing impacts on the market quotations used to value some of the Company’s investments than on the fair values of our investments for which market quotations are not readily available. Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value in certain circumstances where the Company believes that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser, or the market for a particular security cause current market quotations to not reflect the fair value of the security.

The valuation process approved by the Board of Directors with respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value is as follows:

▪

The investment professionals of GECM provide recent portfolio company financial statements and other reporting materials to an independent valuation firm (or firms) approved by the Board of Directors;

▪

The fair value of investments comprising in the aggregate less than 5% of the Company’s total capitalization may be determined by GECM in good faith in accordance with the Company’s valuation policy without the employment of an independent valuation firm.

The Company’s audit committee recommends, and the Board of Directors approves, the fair value of the investments in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of GECM, the respective independent valuation firms (to the extent applicable) and the inputs of each of the audit committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors;

Those investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in determining the fair value of its investments include, as relevant and among other factors: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, merger and acquisition comparables, and enterprise values.

Foreign Currency Translation. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (1) investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates effective on the date of valuation; and (2) purchases and sales of investments and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. The portion of gains and losses on foreign investments resulting from fluctuations in foreign currencies is included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes. From inception to September 30, 2016, the Company was a taxable association under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company intends to elect to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Code for the partial taxable year beginning on October 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2016. The Company intends to operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs in that taxable year and all future taxable years. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company will be required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income (“ICTI”) including payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, as defined by the Code, for each taxable year in order to be eligible for tax treatment under subchapter M of the Code. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next tax year. Any such

F-18

carryover ICTI must be distributed prior to the 15th day of the ninth month after the tax year-end. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as distributions. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by the Company represents obligations of the Company’s stockholders and will not be reflected in the financial statements of the Company.

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

The Company accrued $80 of excise tax expense in fiscal 2016 and has accrued $0 of excise tax expense in fiscal 2017.

At December 31, 2016, the Company, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards of $41,842 which will reduce its taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Company of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Under tax regulations, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 2010 are considered deferred capital losses and are treated as arising on the first day of the Company’s next taxable year, retaining the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Deferred capital losses are required to be used prior to capital loss carryforwards, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire if unused. Of the capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 2016, $34,502 are limited losses and available for use subject to annual limitation under Section 382. Of the deferred capital losses at December 31, 2016, $7,651 were short-term.

ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax position. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Based on its analysis of its tax position for all open tax years (the current and prior years, as applicable), the Company has concluded that it does not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

Recent Accounting Developments.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08; Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU No. 2017-08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosures about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has adopted the final rules in presenting the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENTS AND RELATED PARTIES

Investment Management Agreement. On September 27, 2016, the Company entered into an investment management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with GECM in connection with the transactions described in Note 8. Beginning on November 4, 2016, the Company began accruing for GECM’s fees for its services under the Investment Management Agreement. This fee consists of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee.

Management Fee The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Company’s average adjusted gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds. The base management fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the then current calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial quarter are prorated.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, management fees amounted to $546 and $1,139, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, $546 remained payable and is included in our Statement of Assets and Liabilities in Due to Affiliates.

Incentive Fee The incentive fee consists of two components, an investment income component and a capital gains component. Under the investment income component, on a quarterly basis, the Company will pay GECM 20% of the amount by which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income (the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income”) for the quarter exceeds a hurdle rate of 1.75% (7.0% annualized) of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a “catch-up” provision pursuant to which GECM receives all of such income in excess of the 1.75% level but less than 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) and subject to a total return requirement (described below). The effect of the “catch-up” provision is that, subject to the total return provision, if pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, in any calendar quarter, GECM will receive 20.0% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as if the 1.75% hurdle rate did not apply. These calculations will be appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the then current quarter.

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes any accretion of original issue discount, market discount, payment-in-kind interest, payment-in-kind dividends or other types of deferred or accrued income, including in connection with zero coupon securities, that the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have recognized in accordance with GAAP, but have not yet received in cash (collectively, “Accrued Unpaid Income”). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains or losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Accrued Unpaid Income as of June 30, 2017 was $8,618.

Any income incentive fee otherwise payable with respect to Accrued Unpaid Income (collectively, the “Accrued Unpaid Income Incentive Fees”) are deferred, on a security by security basis, and becomes payable only if, as, when and to the extent cash is received by the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries in respect thereof. Any Accrued Unpaid Income that is subsequently reversed in connection with a write-down, write-off, impairment or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to such Accrued Unpaid Income will, in the applicable period of reversal, (A) reduce Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income and (B) reduce the amount of Accrued Unpaid Income Incentive Fees previously deferred.

Under the capital gains component of the incentive fee, the Company is obligated to pay GECM at the end of each calendar year 20% of the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains from November 4, 2016 through the end of that year, computed net of aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized depreciation through the end of such year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees.

Payment of the incentive fee is subject to a total return requirement, which provides that no incentive fee in respect of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income will be payable except to the extent that 20% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations from and after November 4, 2016 exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid from and after November 4, 2016. For the purposes of this calculation, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” is the sum of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation from and after November 4, 2016.

F-20

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred Incentive Fees based on income of $871 and $1,894, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, $2,757 remained payable of which $1,724 of the payable at June 30, 2017 was Accrued Unpaid Income Incentive Fees and $0 was immediately payable after calculating the total return requirement. As of December 31, 2016, $863 remained payable of which $840 of the payable at December 31, 2016 was Accrued Unpaid Income Incentive Fees and $0 was immediately payable after calculating the total return requirement. The payables are included in Due to Affiliates in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company accrued Incentive Fees based on capital gains of $0.

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

The Company’s chief executive officer is also chief investment officer of GECM, a partner in MAST Capital Management, LLC (“MAST Capital”), the investment manager of the Company’s largest stockholders, and a member of the board of directors of Great Elm Capital Group.

Administration Fees. On September 27, 2016, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with GECM to provide administrative services, including furnishing the Company with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping record keeping services and other administrative services. The Company will reimburse GECM for its allocable portion of overhead and other expenses of GECM in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

GECM agreed that the aggregate amount of expenses accrued for reimbursement pursuant to the Administration Agreement that pertain to direct compensation costs of financial, compliance and accounting personnel that perform services for the Company, inclusive of the fees charged by any sub-administrator to provide such financial, compliance and/or accounting personnel to the Company (the “Compensation Expenses”), during the year ending November 4, 2017, when taken together with Compensation Expenses reimbursed or accrued for reimbursement by the Company pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement during such period, shall not exceed 0.50% of the Company’s average net asset value during such period. The Company has accrued $0 through June 30, 2017 under the reimbursement provision of the Administration Agreement. GECM’s expense cap will be determined retrospectively for the year ending November 4, 2017 and as a result such amount may be reduced.

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

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred expenses under the Administration Agreement of $272 and $767, respectively. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $534 and $138 remained payable, respectively, and are included in Due To Affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Board reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to the Company. The Board assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to the Company based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to the Company of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, the Board considers whether any third party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Board compares the total amount paid to GECM for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported to other comparable business development companies.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).

The fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Basis of Fair Value Measurement

Level 1 - Investments valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Level 2 - Investments valued using other unadjusted observable market inputs, e.g. quoted prices in markets that are not active or quotes for comparable instruments.

Level 3 - Investments that are valued using quotes and other observable market data to the extent available, but which also take into consideration one or more unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation taken as a whole. At a minimum, all Level 3 investments that comprise more than 5% of the investments of the Company are valued by independent third parties.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Note 2 should be read in conjunction with the information outlined below.

The table below presents the valuation techniques and the nature of significant inputs generally used in determining the fair value of Level 2 Instruments.

Level 2 Instruments Valuation Techniques and Significant Inputs

Equity and Fixed Income		The types of instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency may include commercial paper, most government agency obligations, certain corporate debt securities, certain mortgage-backed securities, certain bank loans, less liquid publicly listed equities, certain state and municipal obligations, certain money market instruments and certain loan commitments.

		Valuations of Level 2 Equity and Fixed Income instruments can be verified to quoted prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Consideration is given to the nature of the quotations (e.g. indicative or firm) and the relationship of recent market activity to the prices provided from alternative pricing sources.

F-22

The table below presents the valuation techniques and the nature of significant inputs generally used in determining the fair value of Level 3 Instruments.

Level 3 Instruments Valuation Techniques and Significant Inputs

Bank Loans, Corporate Debt, and Other Debt Obligations

Valuations are generally based on discounted cash flow techniques, for which the significant inputs are the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, market yields and recovery assumptions. The significant inputs are generally determined based on an analysis of market comparables, transactions in similar instruments and/or recovery and liquidation analyses.

Equity

Recent third-party investments or pending transactions are considered to be the best evidence for any change in fair value. When these are not available, the following valuation methodologies are used, as appropriate and available:

▪ Transactions in similar instruments;

▪ Discounted cash flow techniques;

▪ Third party appraisals; and

▪ Industry multiples and public comparables.

Evidence includes recent or pending reorganizations (for example, merger proposals, tender offers and debt restructurings) and significant changes in financial metrics, including:

▪ Current financial performance as compared to projected performance;

▪ Capitalization rates and multiples; and

▪ Market yields implied by transactions of similar or related assets.

The tables below present the ranges of significant unobservable inputs used to value the Company’s Level 3 assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These ranges represent the significant unobservable inputs that were used in the valuation of each type of instrument, but they do not represent a range of values for any one instrument. For example, the lowest yield in 1st Lien/Senior Secured and Unsecured Debt is appropriate for valuing that specific debt investment, but may not be appropriate for valuing any other debt investments in this asset class. Accordingly, the ranges of inputs presented below do not represent uncertainty in, or possible ranges of, fair value measurements of the Company’s Level 3.

¹	The fair value of any one instrument may be determined using multiple valuation techniques. For example, market comparable and discounted cash flows may be used together to determine fair value. Therefore, the Level 3 balance encompasses both of these techniques.

²	The range for an asset category consisting of a single investment represents the relevant market data considered in determining the fair value of the investment.

Weighted average for an asset category consisting of multiple investments is calculated by weighting the significant unobservable input by the relative fair value of the investment. Weighted average for an asset category consisting of a single investment represents the significant unobservable input used in the fair value of the investment.

⁴	Enterprise value of portfolio company as a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

As noted above, the income and market approaches were used in the determination of fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach are the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. An increase in the discount rate or market yield would result in a decrease in the fair value. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates is risk of default, rating of the investment (if any), call provisions and comparable company valuations. The significant unobservable inputs used in the market approach are based on market comparable transactions and market multiples of publicly traded comparable companies. Increases or decreases in market multiples would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

The following is a summary of the Company’s investment assets categorized within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2017:

5. DEBT

On November 3, 2016, the Company assumed $33,646 of Full Circle 8.25% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”) in connection with the Merger by executing the second supplemental indenture dated November 3, 2016.

The Notes were initially issued pursuant to an indenture, dated June 3, 2013, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated June 28, 2013 (collectively with the second supplemental indenture, the “Indenture”), between Full Circle and U.S. Bank National Association (the Trustee”). The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that is later secured) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries or financing vehicles. Interest on the Notes is paid quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30, at a fixed rate of 8.25% per annum. The Notes mature on June 30, 2020 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company’s option. The Investment Company Act limits, with

F-25

certain exceptions, the Company’s borrowing such that its asset coverage ratio, as defined in the Investment Company Act, is at least 2 to 1 after such borrowing. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s outstanding borrowings were $33,646, and the Company’s asset coverage ratio was 6 to 1.

Information about the Company’s senior securities (including debt securities and other indebtedness) is shown in the following tables as of June 30, 2017.

Year	Total Amount Outstanding⁽¹⁾		Asset Coverage Ratio Per Unit⁽²⁾		Involuntary Liquidation Preference Per Unit⁽³⁾		Average Market Value Per Unit⁽⁴⁾
Unsecured Debt
June 30, 2017 (unaudited)	$	33,646	$	5.59	$	N/A	$	1.024
December 31, 2017	$	33,646	$	6.17	$	N/A	$	1.016

⁽¹⁾	Total amount of each class of senior securities outstanding at the end of the period presented.

⁽²⁾

Asset coverage per unit is the ratio of the carrying value of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness. Asset coverage per unit is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per $1 of indebtedness.

⁽³⁾	The amount to which such class of senior security would be entitled upon the voluntary liquidation of the issuer in preference to any security junior to it.

⁽⁴⁾	The average market value per unit for the Notes is based on the average daily prices of such notes for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the period ended December 31, 2016, respectively, and is expressed per $1 of indebtedness.

The Indenture’s covenants, include compliance with (regardless of whether the Company is subject to) the asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, as well as covenants requiring the Company to provide financial information to the holders of the Notes and the Trustee if the Company ceases to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These covenants are subject to limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture. The Company may repurchase the Notes in accordance with the Investment Company Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. Any Notes repurchased by the Company may, at the Company’s option, be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, but may not be reissued or resold by the Company. Any Notes surrendered for cancellation will be promptly cancelled and no longer outstanding under the Indenture. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had not repurchased any of the Notes. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Indenture.

Merger

On June 23, 2016, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Full Circle. Following approval of the Merger on October 31, 2016 by Full Circle’s stockholders, on November 3, 2016:

▪

Full Circle merged into the Company resulting in the Company’s acquisition, by operation of the Merger, of Full Circle’s portfolio that was valued at $74,658 at November 3, 2016;

▪

The Company became obligated to issue an aggregate of 4,986,585 shares of Common Stock to former Full Circle stockholders; and

▪

The Company’s exchange agent paid a $5,393 special cash dividend to former Full Circle stockholders.

F-28

The Company has accounted for the Merger as a business combination under ASC Topic 805 and Regulation S-X’s purchase accounting guidance. The Company was designated as the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes. The difference between the fair value of Full Circle’s net assets and the consideration was recorded as a purchase accounting loss because the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the date of the Merger, was less than the fair value of the merger consideration paid by the Company. The calculation of the purchase accounting loss is detailed in the table below.

Consideration Paid:
Common stock issued	$	73,541
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents		29,109
Investments		74,658
Other assets		2,252
Liabilities assumed:

Net assets acquired		68,845
Purchase accounting loss	$	4,698

The Company incurred approximately $3,471 of transaction-related expenses related to the Formation Transaction and Merger. Transaction-related expenses were comprised primarily of legal, accounting and other professional fees and third party costs.
