+Added: Our audits included performing procedures to assess
+Added: the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
+Added: to those risks.
+Added: Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

+Added: Critical Audit Matter
+Added: The critical audit matter communicated below is
+Added: a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the
+Added: audit committee and that:
+Added: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially
+Added: challenging, subjective or complex judgments.
+Added: The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on
+Added: the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a
+Added: separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosure to which is relates.
+Added: Valuation of investments using significant unobservable inputs
+Added: Description of the Matter
+Added: At February 28, 2021, the fair value of the Company's investments categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (Level 3 investments) totaled $554,312,715.
+Added: Management determines the fair value of these investments by applying the valuation techniques described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements and using significant unobservable inputs and assumptions.
+Added: The selection of the valuation techniques and the significant unobservable inputs and assumptions used by management requires subjective judgments and estimates.
+Added: The valuation techniques used by the Company include market comparables, discounted cash flows and enterprise value waterfalls.
+Added: The significant unobservable inputs used to measure fair value include market yields, EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples, discount rates, recovery rates and prepayment rates.
+Added: Auditing the fair value of the Company's Level 3 investments was complex and involved auditor judgment, as the valuation techniques selected and the significant unobservable inputs and assumptions used by the Company are highly judgmental and require estimation, and the selection of such techniques, inputs and assumptions has a significant effect on the fair value measurement of such investments.
+Added: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
+Added: To test the valuation of the Company’s Level 3 investments, we gained an understanding of the valuation techniques, significant unobservable inputs and assumptions used by the Company to value the Level 3 investments and reviewed the information considered by the Board of Directors relating to the fair value of each investment.
+Added: For a sample of Level 3 investments, we evaluated the valuation techniques used, tested the significant unobservable inputs and assumptions, and tested the mathematical accuracy of the related valuation models.
+Added: For this sample of Level 3 investments, we agreed the significant inputs and underlying data used in the Company’s valuations (for example, deal terms, portfolio company operating results, market yields) to transaction agreements, most recently available portfolio company financial statements or other financial information, information available from third-party sources and market data, as applicable.
+Added: We involved our valuation specialists to assist in developing independent estimates of fair value for a sample of investments by using portfolio company and market information, and we compared such estimates to the Company’s fair value of these investments.
+Added: We also searched for and evaluated information that corroborated or contradicted the Company’s valuations of Level 3 investments.

−Removed: disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date.
−Removed: Management is currently evaluating
−Removed: the impact these changes will have on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
−Removed: SEC Disclosure Update and Simplification
−Removed: In March 2019, the U.S.
−Removed: Securities Exchange Commission (the SEC) adopted the final rule under SEC Release No.
−Removed: 33-10618, Fast Act Modernization and Simplification of Regulation S-K , amending certain disclosure requirements.
−Removed: The amendments are intended to simplify
−Removed: certain disclosure requirements and to provide for a consistent set of rules to govern incorporating information by reference and hyperlinking, improve readability and navigability of disclosure documents, and discourage repetition and disclosure of
−Removed: immaterial information.
+Added: Based on its history and experience, management
+Added: feels that the likelihood of such an event is remote.
+Added: Therefore, the Company has not accrued any liabilities in connection with such
+Added: indemnifications.
+Added: the ordinary course of business, the Company may directly or indirectly be a defendant or plaintiff in legal actions with respect to
+Added: bankruptcy, insolvency or other types of proceedings.
+Added: Such lawsuits may involve claims that could adversely affect the value of certain
+Added: financial instruments owned by the Company.
+Added: Company has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC under the Code and, among other things, intends to make the requisite distributions
+Added: to its stockholders which will relieve the Company from federal income taxes.
+Added: Therefore, no provision has been recorded for federal income
+Added: taxes, except as related to the Taxable Blockers and long-term capital gains, when applicable.
+Added: order to qualify as a RIC, among other requirements, the Company is required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least
+Added: 90.0% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each fiscal tax year.
+Added: The Company will be subject
+Added: to a nondeductible U.S.
+Added: federal excise tax of 4.0% on undistributed income if it does not distribute at least 98.0% of its ordinary
+Added: income in any calendar year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each one-year period ending on October 31.
+Added: on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year
+Added: dividend distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4.0% excise tax on such income, as required.
+Added: To the extent that the Company determines
+Added: that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions for excise tax
+Added: purposes, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.
+Added: For the year ended
+Added: February 28, 2021, the excise tax accrual on estimated excess table income was $0.7 million.
+Added: accordance with certain applicable U.S.
+Added: Treasury regulations and private letter rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”),
+Added: a RIC may treat a distribution of its own stock as fulfilling its RIC distribution requirements if each stockholder may elect to receive
+Added: his or her entire distribution in either cash or stock of the RIC subject to a limitation on the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed
+Added: to all stockholders, which limitation must be at least 20.0% of the aggregate declared distribution.
+Added: If too many stockholders elect to
+Added: receive cash, each stockholder electing to receive cash will receive a pro rata amount of cash (with the balance of the distribution
+Added: paid in stock).
+Added: In no event will any stockholder, electing to receive cash, receive less than 20.0% of his or her entire distribution
+Added: If these and certain other requirements are met, for U.S federal income tax purposes, the amount of the dividend paid in stock
+Added: will be equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of stock.
+Added: Company may utilize wholly-owned holding companies taxed under Subchapter C of the Code or tax blockers, when making equity investments
+Added: in portfolio companies taxed as pass-through entities to meet its source-of-income requirements as a RIC.
+Added: Taxable Blockers are consolidated
+Added: in the Company’s U.S.
+Added: GAAP financial statements and may result in current and deferred federal and state income tax expense with
+Added: respect to income derived from those investments.
+Added: Such income, net of applicable income taxes, is not included in the Company’s
+Added: tax-basis net investment income until distributed by the Taxable Blocker, which may result in timing and character differences between
+Added: the Company’s U.S.
+Added: GAAP and tax-basis net investment income and realized gains and losses.
+Added: Income tax expense or benefit from Taxable
+Added: Blockers related to net investment income are included in total operating expenses, while any expense or benefit related to federal or
+Added: state income tax originated for capital gains and losses are included together with the applicable net realized or unrealized gain or
+Added: loss line item.
+Added: Deferred tax assets of the Taxable Blockers are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
+Added: it is more-likely than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
+Added: ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes , (“ASC 740”), provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized,
+Added: measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements.
+Added: ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to
+Added: be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not”
+Added: of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.
+Added: Tax positions deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not”
+Added: threshold would
+Added: be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period.
+Added: The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized
+Added: tax benefits as income tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021 the Company
+Added: did not incur any interest or penalties.
+Added: Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal.
+Added: 2019 and 2020 federal tax years for the Company remain subject to examination by the IRS.
+Added: At February 28, 2021, and February 29, 2020,
+Added: there were no uncertain tax positions.
+Added: The Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total
+Added: amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.
+Added: to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
+Added: The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the board of directors.
+Added: Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although we may decide to retain such capital gains
+Added: for reinvestment.
+Added: have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of our dividend distributions on behalf
+Added: of our stockholders unless a stockholder elects to receive cash.
+Added: As a result, if our board of directors authorizes, and we declare, a
+Added: cash dividend, then our stockholders who have not “opted out”
+Added: of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their cash
+Added: dividends automatically reinvested into additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividends.
+Added: option to satisfy the share requirements of the DRIP through the issuance of new shares of common stock or through open market purchases
+Added: of common stock by the DRIP plan administrator.
+Added: Gains Incentive Fee
+Added: Company records an expense accrual on the consolidated statements of operations, relating to the capital gains incentive fee payable
+Added: on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, by the Company to the Manager when the net realized and unrealized gain on
+Added: its investments exceed all net realized and unrealized capital losses on its investments given the fact that a capital gains incentive
+Added: fee would be owed to the Manager if the Company were to liquidate its investment portfolio at such time.
+Added: actual incentive fee payable to the Company’s Manager related to capital gains will be determined and payable in arrears at the
+Added: end of each fiscal year and only reflected those realized capital gains net of realized and unrealized losses for the period.
+Added: Accounting Pronouncements
+Added: March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“ASU 2020-04”).
+Added: The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide
+Added: optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference
+Added: rate reform if certain criteria are met.
+Added: The standard is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.
+Added: Management does not
+Added: believe this optional guidance has a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
+Added: Rule 12b-2 Update
+Added: March 2020, the SEC adopted a final rule under SEC Release No.
+Added: 34-88365 (the “Final Rule”), amending the accelerated filer
+Added: and large accelerated filer definitions in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2.
+Added: The amendments include a provision under which a BDC will be excluded
+Added: from the “accelerated filer”
+Added: and “large accelerated filer”
+Added: definitions if the BDC has (1) a public float of $75
+Added: million or more, but less than $700 million, and (2) has annual investment income of less than $100 million.
+Added: In addition, BDCs are subject
+Added: to the same transition provisions for accelerated filer and large accelerated filer status as other issuers, but instead substituting
+Added: investment income for revenue.
+Added: The amendments will reduce the number of issuers required to comply with the auditor attestation on the
+Added: internal control over financial reporting requirement provided under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
+Added: The Final Rule
+Added: applies to annual report filings due on or after April 27, 2020.
+Added: The Company has assessed the Final Rule, and concluded that effective
+Added: February 28, 2021, it is no longer an accelerated filer.
+Added: As a result, the Company has filed this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
+Added: fiscal year ending February 28, 2021 as a non-accelerated filer.
+Added: Disclosure Update and Simplification
+Added: March 2019, the U.S.
+Added: Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted the final rule under SEC Release No.
+Added: 33-10618, Fast
+Added: Act Modernization and Simplification of Regulation S-K , amending certain disclosure requirements.

The Company has adopted the final rule, as applicable under SEC Release No.
−Removed: 33-10618 and determined the effect of the adoption of the simplification rules on financial
−Removed: statements will be limited to the modification and removal of certain disclosures.
−Removed: Risk Management
−Removed: In the ordinary course of its business, the Company manages a variety of risks, including market risk and credit risk.
−Removed: Market risk is the risk
−Removed: of potential adverse changes to the value of investments because of changes in market conditions such as interest rate movements and volatility in investment prices.
−Removed: Credit risk is the risk of default or non-performance by portfolio companies, equivalent to the
−Removed: investments carrying amount.
−Removed: The Company is also exposed to credit risk related to maintaining all of its cash and cash equivalents, including those in reserve accounts, at a major financial institution and credit risk related to any of its
−Removed: derivative counterparties.
−Removed: The Company has investments in lower rated and comparable quality unrated high yield bonds and bank loans.
−Removed: Investments in high yield investments are accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk.
−Removed: The risk of loss due to default by the issuer is significantly greater for holders of high yield securities, because such investments are generally unsecured
−Removed: and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.
−Removed: As noted above, the Company values all investments in accordance with ASC 820.
−Removed: ASC 820 requires enhanced disclosures about assets and
−Removed: liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value.
−Removed: As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
−Removed: ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs
−Removed: used in measuring investments at fair value.
−Removed: Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment.
−Removed: Investments with readily available active quoted prices
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value
−Removed: measurements according to the fair value hierarchy.
+Added: 33-10618 and determined the effect
+Added: of the adoption of the simplification rules on financial statements will be limited to the modification and removal of certain disclosures.

+Added: measurement date.
+Added: 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used
+Added: in measuring investments at fair value.
+Added: Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment
+Added: and the characteristics specific to the investment.
+Added: Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can
+Added: be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment
+Added: used in measuring fair value.
+Added: on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements
+Added: according to the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value hierarchy ranks the observability of the inputs used to determine fair values.
−Removed: Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three
−Removed: Level 1Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
−Removed: Company has the ability to access.
−Removed: Level 2 Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or
−Removed: indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
−Removed: Such inputs may be quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
−Removed: substantially the full character of the financial instrument, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market information.
−Removed: Investments which are generally included in this category include illiquid debt securities
−Removed: and less liquid, privately held or restricted equity securities, for which some level of recent trading activity has been observed.
−Removed: Level 3 Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is
−Removed: little, if any, market activity for the investment.
−Removed: The inputs may be based on the Companys own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability or may use Level 2 inputs, as adjusted, to reflect specific
−Removed: investment attributes relative to a broader market assumption.
−Removed: These inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation.
−Removed: Even if observable market data for comparable performance or valuation
−Removed: measures (earnings multiples, discount rates, other financial/valuation ratios, etc.) are available, such investments are grouped as Level 3 if any significant data point that is not also market observable (private company earnings, cash flows,
−Removed: etc.) is used in the valuation methodology.
−Removed: In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company
−Removed: continues to employ the valuation policy approved by the board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820 and the 1940 Act (see Note 2).
−Removed: Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our
−Removed: investments are trading, in determining fair value.
−Removed: The following table presents fair value measurements of investments, by major class, as of
−Removed: February 29, 2020 (dollars in thousands), according to the fair value hierarchy:
−Removed: Fair Value Measurements
+Added: Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
+Added: 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability
+Added: 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as

+Added: other financial/valuation ratios, etc.) are available, such investments are grouped as Level 3 if any significant data point that
+Added: is not also market observable (private company earnings, cash flows, etc.) is used in the valuation technique.
+Added: We use multiple
+Added: techniques for determining fair value based on the nature of the investment and experience with those types of investments and
+Added: specific portfolio companies.
+Added: The selections of the valuation techniques and the inputs and assumptions used within those techniques
+Added: often require subjective judgements and estimates.
+Added: These techniques include market comparables, discounted cash flows and enterprise
+Added: value waterfalls.
+Added: Fair value is best expressed as a range of values from which the Company determines a single best estimate.
+Added: The types of inputs and assumptions that may be considered in determining the range of values of our investments include the nature
+Added: and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, market yield trend analysis and
+Added: volatility in future interest rates, call and put features, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison
+Added: to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flows and other relevant factors.
+Added: addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the valuation policy approved by the board
+Added: of directors that is consistent with ASC 820 and the 1940 Act (see Note 2).
+Added: Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source
+Added: of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, in determining fair value.
