ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Disclosure Controls and Procedures In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were (a) designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and reported in an accurate manner and on a timely basis and the information that we are required to disclose in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management to permit timely decisions with respect to required disclosure and (b) operating in an effective manner. Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: 1. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and our dispositions of assets; 2. Provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and Board of Directors; and 3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In connection with the preparation of our Form 10-K, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making that assessment, management used the criteria based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. The rules of the SEC do not require, and this Annual Report does not include, an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. 76 Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from January 29, 2020 (date of inception) to December 31, 2020, and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally presumed to be “non-controlled” when the Company owns 25% or less of the portfolio company’s voting securities and/or does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. A company is generally presumed to be “controlled” when the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s voting securities and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. The Company classifies this investment as “controlled”.

(c) The fair value of investments with respect to securities for which market quotations are not readily available is determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors (as defined below) as required by the 1940 Act.

F- 19 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 Note 1 - Organization Franklin BSP Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on January 29, 2020 and converted to a Delaware corporation on September 23, 2020 pursuant to which Franklin BSP Capital Corporation succeeded to the business of Franklin BSP Capital L.L.C. The Company commenced investment operations on January 7, 2021. The Company is managed by Franklin BSP Capital Adviser L.L.C. (the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. (“Benefit Street Partners” or “BSP”) pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser oversees the management of the Company’s activities and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to the Company’s portfolio. The Company’s investment objective is to generate both current income capital and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. The Company defines middle market companies as those with EBITDA of between $ 25 million and $ 100 million annually, although the Company may invest in larger or smaller companies. The Company also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions. The Company is conducting a private placement of shares of its common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Each investor in the private placement will make a capital commitment (the “Capital Commitments”) to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a subscription agreement (a “Subscription Agreement”). Investors will be required to make capital contributions to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Drawdown Purchase Price”) each time the Company delivers a drawdown notice (the “Drawdown Notice”), which will be delivered at least ten business days prior to the required funding date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed their respective Capital Commitments. The Company is also conducting a private placement of shares of its preferred stock designated as series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) in reliance on exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See Note 10 - Preferred Stock for the terms of such preferred stock, including liquidation preference, distributions, and rights regarding conversion to shares of Common Stock. F- 20 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, both normal and recurring which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for the periods presented. The Company is an investment company and accordingly applies specific accounting and financial reporting requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies . We have also formed and expect to continue to form consolidated subsidiaries (the "Consolidated Holding Companies"). The Company consolidates the following subsidiaries for accounting purposes: FBCC Lending I, LLC, and FBCC EEF Holdings LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassification has no effect on the Company’s financial position or result of operations as previously reported. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Consolidation As provided under ASC 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially or wholly-owned investment company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the accounts of the Company's substantially wholly-owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements. Valuation of Portfolio Investments Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. The board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) has delegated to the Adviser as valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) the responsibility of determining the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio, subject to oversight of the Board of Directors, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As such, the Valuation Designee is charged with determining the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio, subject to oversight of the Board of Directors. On a quarterly basis, the Valuation Designee performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows: Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Valuation Designee may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Valuation Designee determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined to be readily available, the Valuation Designee uses the quote obtained. F- 21 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using 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 Valuation Designee may take into account in fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: 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, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Valuation Designee undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below: • Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Valuation Designee, with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company's Board of Directors; and • The independent valuation firm(s) conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and • The Valuation Designee, under the supervision of the Board of Directors, determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of independent valuation firms (to the extent applicable) and the Valuation Designee’s own analysis. The Valuation Designee also has established a Valuation Committee to assist the Valuation Designee in carrying out its designated responsibilities, subject to oversight of the Board of Directors. Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in its portfolio, the Valuation Designee values substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty 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 fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it. Investment Classification The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “Control” is defined as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. In addition, in accordance with Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act, any person who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the voting securities of a company shall be presumed to control such company. Any person who does not so own more than 25% of the voting securities of any company shall be presumed not to control such company. Any person who does not so own more than 25% of the voting securities of any company and/or does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company shall be presumed not to control such company. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Affiliated Investments” are defined as those investments in companies in which the Company owns 5% or more of the voting securities. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Non-affiliated Investments” are defined as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and short-term, liquid investments in a money market deposit account. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. F- 22 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 Organization and Offering Costs Organization costs consist of costs incurred to establish the Company and enable it legally to do business. Organization costs are expensed as incurred. Offering costs consist of costs incurred in connection with the offering of common shares of the Company. Offering costs are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the commencement of operations. The Company will bear the organization and offering expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the offering of shares of its Common Stock, including the out-of-pocket expenses of the Adviser and its agents and affiliates. In addition, the Company will reimburse the Adviser for the organization and offering costs it incurs on the Company’s behalf. If actual organization and offering costs incurred exceed the greater of $ 1 million or 0.10 % of the Company’s total capital commitments, the Adviser or its affiliate will bear the excess costs. To the extent the Company’s capital commitments later increase, the Adviser or its affiliates may be reimbursed for past payments of excess organization and offering costs made on the Company’s behalf provided that the total organization and offering costs borne by the Company do not exceed 0.10 % of total capital commitments and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and for the period ended December 31, 2020, there were no reimbursements from the Adviser. In connection with the Company’s private placement of shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company incurred various offering costs. These costs are capitalized as a deferred cost and included within redeemable convertible preferred stock Series A on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as the preferred shares are issued. The costs are not subject to reimbursement from the Adviser. Deferred Financing Costs Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s revolving credit facilities are capitalized and amortized into expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield method over the life of the respective facility. See Note 5 - Borrowings. Convertible Preferred Stock We record shares of convertible preferred stock based on proceeds received net of offering costs on the date of issuance. Redeemable preferred stock (including preferred stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity and is reported separately from liabilities and net assets attributable to common stock within the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Distributions The Company’s Board of Directors authorizes and declares cash distributions payable on a quarterly basis to stockholders of record on each record date. The amount of each such distribution is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company calculates each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the quarter using record and declaration dates. From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions, including capital gains distributions, at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s distributions may exceed earnings, especially during the period before it has substantially invested the proceeds from the offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions made by the Company may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is a return of each stockholder’s investment rather than earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities. The Company may fund cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including advances from the Adviser that are subject to reimbursement, as well as offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. See Note 13 - Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders for additional information. F- 23 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 Revenue Recognition Interest Income Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments. Dividend Income Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Fee Income Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment, termination, and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as income when earned, either upon receipt or amortized into income. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and other upfront fees are recorded as income. Payment-in-Kind Interest The Company may hold debt investments in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and dividend provisions. PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest that add to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. Non-accrual Income Investments may be placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest, which may include un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current. Net Realized Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation Gain or loss on the sale of investments is calculated using the specific identification method. The Company measures realized gain or loss 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. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when a gain or loss is realized. Income Taxes The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes in respect of each taxable year if it distributes dividends for federal income tax purposes to stockholders of an amount generally equal to at least 90% of “investment company taxable income,” as defined in the Code, and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to twelve months after the previous tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year in determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its ability to be subject to be taxed as a RIC each year. The Company may be subject to federal excise tax imposed at a rate of 4% on certain undistributed amounts. F- 24 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Company did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. See Note 13 - Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders for additional information. Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s fair value measurements are classified into a fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, if any, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. • Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques. The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. For investments for which Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices, were not available at December 31, 2022 and 2021, the investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board of Directors using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company's investments are trading, in determining fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the estimate of fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2022 and 2021 may differ materially from values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the valuation policy approved by the Board of Directors. Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as described below. Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, the Company uses the quote obtained. F- 25 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using 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 Valuation Designee may take into account in fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: 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, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process. As part of the Company's quarterly valuation process, the Valuation Designee may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms. The Valuation Designee under the supervision of the Board of Directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable) and the Valuation Designee’s own analysis. Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on the consolidated financial statements. For discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company's borrowings, refer to Note 5 - Borrowings.

(b) This asset category contains one investment. (c) This instrument(s) was held at cost. Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include investments in privately held entities where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs. The income and market approaches were used in the determination of fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. 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, call provisions and comparable company investments. 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 comparable transactions or market multiples would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value. Valuations of loans, corporate debt, and other debt obligations 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 relative value analysis, which incorporate comparisons to other debt instruments for which observable prices or broker quotes are available. Other valuation methodologies are used as appropriate including market comparables, transactions in similar instruments and recovery/liquidation analysis. The Company also considers the use of EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples, tangible net asset value multiples, TBV multiples, and other relevant multiples on its debt and equity investments to determine any credit gains or losses in certain instances. Increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the respective subject instrument. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021 , the Company h ad no po rtfolio companies on non-accrual status, respectively. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - for additional details regarding the Company’s non-accrual policy. F- 29 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 Note 4 - Related Party Transactions Investment Advisory Agreement The Company entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to the Company. The Investment Advisory Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors and the sole stockholder for a two year term on September 23, 2020. The Board of Directors renewed the Investment Advisory Agreement on January 30, 2023. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a fee for investment advisory and management services consists of two components - a base management fee (the “Management Fee”) and an incentive fee, which consists of two components (together, the “Incentive Fee”). Management Fee The Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, where gross assets includes the total assets of the Company, including any borrowings for investment purposes. Prior to a liquidity event, the Management Fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement will be calculated at an annual rate of 0.5 % of the Company’s average gross assets. A “1iquidity event” is defined as any of: (1) a merger or another transaction approved by the Board of Directors in which the Company’s stockholders will receive cash or shares of a publicly traded company (or a company that becomes publicly traded concurrently with the closing of such transaction), which may include an entity advised by the Adviser or its affiliates, (2) an initial public offering (“IPO”) or a listing (an “Exchange Listing”) of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange, or (3) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either on a complete portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation. After a liquidity event, the Management Fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.50 % of the Company’s average gross assets, provided, that the Management Fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.00 % of the Company’s average gross assets purchased with borrowed funds above 1.0 x debt-to-equity (equivalent to $1 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity), and provided further that for a period of 15 months commencing on the date of the closing of a liquidity event, the Adviser will irrevocably waive Management Fees in excess of 0.5 % of the Company’s average gross assets. Any fees waived under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not subject to reimbursement to the Adviser. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, $ 1.0 million and $ 0.5 million was payable to the Adviser for Management Fees, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and for the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $ 3.4 million, $ 1.1 million, and $ 0 , respectively, in Management Fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Incentive Fee The Company will also pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee consisting of two parts, which are described below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Adviser will waive all Incentive Fees for the first twelve calendar quarters of operations of the Company. The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is referred to as the “incentive fee on income” and it is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter. F- 30 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, other than fees for providing managerial assistance, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below) and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. For purposes of computing the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, the calculation methodology will look through total return swaps as if the Company owned the referenced assets directly. For periods ending on or prior to the date of the closing of a liquidity event, the incentive fee on income with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income will be calculated as follows: • No incentive fee on income in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the preferred return rate of 1.50 %, or 6.00 % annualized (the “Preferred Return”), on net assets; • 100 % of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Return but is less than or equal to 1.765 % in any calendar quarter ( 7.06 % annualized). This portion of the incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 15 % on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 1.765 % ( 7.06 % annualized) in any calendar quarter; and • For any quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 1.765 % ( 7.06 % annualized), the incentive fee on income equals 15 % of the amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Preferred Return and catch-up will have been achieved. For any period ending after the closing of a liquidity event, the incentive fee on income for each quarter will be calculated as follows: • No incentive fee on income in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Preferred Return of 1.50 %, or 6.00 % annualized, on net assets; • 100 % of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Return but is less than or equal to 1.8175 % in any calendar quarter ( 7.27 % annualized), which portion of the incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 17.5 % on all of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 1.8175 % ( 7.27 % annualized) in any calendar quarter; and • For any quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 1.8175 % ( 7.27 % annualized), the incentive fee on income equals 17.5 % of the amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Preferred Return and catch-up will have been achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period of 15 months commencing on the date of the closing of a liquidity event, the Adviser will irrevocably waive any incentive fee on income otherwise payable in excess of any amounts calculated at the pre-IPO or pre-Exchange Listing rates. Any fees waived under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not subject to reimbursement to the Adviser. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and for the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $ 4.7 million, $ 0.7 million, and $ 0 , respectively, in incentive fees on income, none of which was payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. F- 31 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 The second part of the incentive fee, referred to as the “incentive fee on capital gains during operations,” is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on cumulative realized capital gains of the Company net of cumulative realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, if earlier). Prior to a liquidity event, this fee equals 15 % of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals realized capital gains of the Company on a cumulative basis from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC, 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 incentive fee on capital gains during operations. Following a liquidity event, the incentive fee on capital gains during operations equals 17.5 % of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains calculated as described above, on a cumulative basis from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC. U.S. GAAP requires that the incentive fee accrual be calculated assuming a hypothetical liquidation of the Company based upon investments held at the end of each period. In such a calculation, in order to calculate the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee in accordance with U.S. GAAP for a given period, the Company includes unrealized appreciation in calculating the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee even though such unrealized appreciation is not included in in calculating the capital gains incentive fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. There can be no assurance that such unrealized appreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee, as calculated and accrued in accordance with U.S. GAAP, does not necessarily represent amounts that will be payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company accrued $( 0.4 ) million, $ 0.4 million, and $ 0 , respectively, in incentive fees on capital gains in accordance with U.S. GAAP, none of which was payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Administration Agreement The Company entered into an administration agreement with Benefit Street Partners (the “Administration Agreement”), pursuant to which Benefit Street Partners (in such capacity, the “Administrator”) provides the Company with office facilities and certain administrative services necessary for the Company to conduct its business. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, $ 0.8 million and $ 0.7 million was payable to BSP under the Administration Agreement, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and for the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $ 0.8 million, $ 0.7 million, and $ 0 , respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement, which are included in the other general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations. Co-Investment Relief The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from entering into negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC. The SEC staff has granted the Company exemptive relief that allows it to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside with other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates (“Affiliated Funds”) in a manner consistent with its investment objective, positions, policies, strategies, and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”). Pursuant to the Order, the Company is permitted to co-invest with its affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of its eligible directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and the Company’s stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or the Company’s stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and is consistent with the Company’s investment objective and strategies. Due to Related Party As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, $ 0 and $ 1.7 million of payables to Affiliated Funds or the Adviser were included within other liabilities on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

FBCC Lending is subject to non-usage fee of 0.50 % on the difference between total commitments and the greater of the (i) drawn amounts and (ii) minimum utilization requirement, and, in addition after the ramp-up period, FBCC Lending would pay interest on undrawn amounts up to the minimum utilization requirement under the MS Credit Facility, at three month SOFR floor of zero , plus spread of 1.125 %, if drawn amounts are less than such minimum utilization requirement. The entire facility is subject to a 0.25 % administrative agent fee. On June 28, 2022, FBCC Lending entered into a fourth amendment (together with any documents executed in connection therewith, the “Fourth Amendment”) to the MS Credit Facility. The Fourth Amendment, among other things, increases the maximum permissible borrowings under the MS Credit Facility to $ 400.0 million from $ 300.0 million on a committed basis and amends the spread on borrowings under the MS Credit Facility to 2.25 %.

In the repurchase agreements, the Company enters into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enter into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty. Investments sold under repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings as the sale of the investment does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860—Transfers and Servicing and remains as an investment on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company uses repurchase agreements as a short-term financing alternative. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had short-term borrowings outstanding of $ 20.8 million and $ 41.3 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and for the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $ 2.2 million, $ 0.1 million, and $ 0 , respectively, in connection with short-term borrowings.

F- 35 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 As of December 31, 2020 and during the period then ended, the Company did not have any borrowings. The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, due to affiliates, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying value on the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities due to their short-term nature. At December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the Company's secured borrowings approximated their fair value. The fair values of the Company's debt obligations are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Company's borrowings is estimated based upon market interest rates for the Company's own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company's borrowings would be deemed to be Level 3, as defined in Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Dividends are payable on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock quarterly in arrears at a rate equal to (1) for each fiscal quarter ending on or before September 30, 2022 (the “Initial Dividend Period”), the dividends that would have been paid in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock if it had been converted into a share of the Company’s Common Stock, on the first day of such quarter (or the date of issuance in the case of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued after the first day of such quarter) at the applicable Conversion Rate (as defined below) and (2) for each quarter after the Initial Dividend Period, the greater of (i) an amount equal to $ 10.00 per share, subject to proration if such share is not outstanding for the full quarter, and (ii) the dividends that would have been paid in respect of such share of Series A Preferred Stock if it had been converted into a share of Common Stock on the first day of such quarter (or the date of issuance in the case of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued after the first day of such quarter) at the applicable Conversion Rate.

F- 44 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 Note 11 - Earnings Per Share Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which considers participating securities as a separate class of shares. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock according to dividends distributed and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s participating securities consist of its Series A Preferred Stock. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders, adjusted to exclude earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

Note 13 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it meets, certain quarterly asset diversification requirements, annual income tests, and distributes to stockholders its ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each taxable year. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to one year after the previous tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year. The Company may also be subject to federal excise taxes of 4%. A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its “investment company taxable income” (which is, generally, ordinary income plus net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses). If the Company's expenses in a given taxable year exceed gross taxable income (e.g., as the result of large amounts of equity-based compensation), it would incur a net operating loss for that year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent taxable years and such net operating losses do not pass through to the RIC’s stockholders. In addition, deductible expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. A RIC may not use any net capital losses (that is, realized capital losses in excess of realized capital gains) to offset the RIC’s investment company taxable income, but may carry forward such net capital losses, and use them to offset capital gains indefinitely. Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses and net capital losses, the Company may for tax purposes have aggregate taxable income for several taxable years that it is required to distribute and that is taxable to stockholders even if such taxable income is greater than the aggregate net income the Company actually earned during those taxable years. Such required distributions may be made from the Company cash assets or by liquidation of investments, if necessary. The Company may realize gains or losses from such liquidations. In the event the Company realizes net capital gains from such transactions, the Company may make a larger capital gain distribution than it would have made in the absence of such transactions. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, for excise tax purposes the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and incur a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”), nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company’s current tax year, 2021 and 2020 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue. F- 46 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 The tax character of distributions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2022 2021 Ordinary income distributions* $ 28,676 100.0 % $ 2,293 100.0 % Capital gains distributions — — — — Return of capital — — — — Total distributions $ 28,676 100.0 % $ 2,293 100.0 % * Includes 91.10 % interest-related dividends. Interest-related dividends received by nonresident aliens and foreign corporations are generally eligible for exemption from U.S. withholding tax in accordance with Sections 871(k) of the Code. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the reconciliation of net increase in net assets resulting from operations to taxable income is as follows: 2022 2021 Book income (loss) from operating activities $ 21,830 $ 6,869 Net unrealized (gain)/loss on investments 7,957 ( 2,108 ) Nondeductible expenses 313 — Temporary differences ( 1,101 ) ( 50 ) Taxable income before deductions for distributions paid $ 28,999 $ 4,711 For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the components of accumulated gain and losses on a tax basis were as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2022 2021 Undistributed ordinary income $ 3,586 $ 3,036 Undistributed long term gain (loss) 271 — Undistributed capital loss carryforward — — Total undistributed net earnings (loss) 3,856 3,036 Net unrealized gain (loss) on investments ( 4,604 ) 2,108 Other accumulated gain (loss) on investments ( 388 ) ( 386 ) Total undistributed taxable income (loss) $ ( 1,136 ) $ 4,758 As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any short-term or long-term capital loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Tax cost 786,984 515,192 Gross unrealized appreciation 5,071 2,407 Gross unrealized depreciation ( 9,675 ) ( 299 ) F- 47 FRANKLIN BSP CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated) For the year ended December 31, 2022 During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the Company made reclassifications among components of net assets as follows: Total distributable earnings (loss) Paid in capital 2022 $ ( 2,440 ) $ 2,440 2021 $ 596 $ ( 596 ) These differences primarily relate to non-deductible offering costs, nondeductible excise tax expenses and GAAP blocker income. Aggregate stockholders’ equity was not affected by this reclassification. Tax information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 is an estimate and will not be finally determined until the Company files its 2022 tax return. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s domestic subsidiary is expected to have a net operating loss and unrealized gain. As a result, the Company has a deferred tax asset of $ 2.9 million and a deferred tax liability of $( 3.7 ) million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The future realization of the tax benefits of existing deductible temporary differences or carryforwards ultimately depend on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the carryback (if permitted under the tax law) and carryforward periods. The Company has concluded future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences is sufficient to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not necessary as of December 31, 2022. As a result, no valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets is necessary. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did no t have any deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. The deferred tax asset valuation allowance, if applicable, has been determined pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, including the Company's estimation of future taxable income, if necessary, and is adequate to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had differences between book basis and tax basis cost of $( 2.0 ) million from investments in a domestic subsidiary. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no differences between book basis and tax cost basis.
