Management Commentary
aWith the two new loan originations, totaling $9.25 million, which closed subsequent to March 31, 2012, our loan portfolio has reached its highest level since our IPO in August 2010. With these added investments we are moving closer to full deployment at current liquidity levels, which we expect will result in higher investment income from the larger portfolio,a said John Stuart, chairman and chief executive officer of Full Circle Capital Corp. aWe continue to move forward on opportunities in our transaction pipeline. Demand for our flexible uni-tranche lending solutions in our target market of lower middle and smaller market companies remains strong.a
aOur investing strategy a" to invest in first lien senior secured loans to smaller and lower middle-market companies with a significant level of risk protection and a desirable yield - is reflected in our portfolio metrics. 92% of our portfolio consists of first lien senior secured loans, which gives us the first call on a borroweras collateral. We remain well positioned for an eventual rise in interest rates with floating rate loans accounting for 91% of the portfolio, which we believe is in the top tier of the BDC universe. In addition, the yield on our loan portfolio remains approximately 13%.a
